"Peach, would you like to consider it?"

Yang Tao blushed deeply: "No, we don't know each other at all."

Li Mu laughed and said, "That's easy. We'll find a place later and give you a proper introduction."

Yang Tao remained silent.

"But we might not be a good match, and I have a lot of shortcomings too."

Li Mu said, "You only know if shoes fit when you wear them. How will you know they don't fit if you don't try them on?"

Yang Tao didn't know how to respond.

"But, but..."

Li Mu patted her hand and said, "No buts. Don't worry, I'm not some landlord or tyrant, I won't force you."

"You can treat me as your blind date, let's get to know each other and see how it goes. What if I don't like you and it doesn't work out? You never know."

Chapter 73 Peach's Dilemma

Hearing Li Mu say that, Yang Tao suddenly got angry for some reason and glared at him: "I don't even look at you!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Yes, yes... So we need to spend some time together and see how it goes. Maybe I won't like you... or maybe you won't like me."

"Of course, it's also possible that we hit it off and things just fall into place."

Yang Tao blushed slightly and said coquettishly, "Who wants to try it with you! Who wants to be attracted to you? I don't want to!"

Li Mu said, "Taozi, you're carrying too much on your mind. Don't think about anything right now. Just pretend we didn't know each other before. I'm your blind date now."

"Just give your opinion on my qualifications. After our blind date, would you consider getting to know me better?"

Yang Tao remained silent for a moment, then involuntarily began to imagine a scene of him and Li Mu going on a blind date. He had to admit that if the blind date was someone like Li Mu, whether it was to appease his mother Xue Sumei or because he was genuinely interested, he would be very happy.

She will hesitate and find it hard to refuse.

This result left Yang Tao somewhat dazed. Did she really have to take her relationship with Li Mu to the next level?

Seeing that Yang Tao remained silent, Li Mu seemed to know the answer and asked again, "Taozi, do you hate blind dates?"

Yang Tao glanced at Li Mu and decided to tell the truth.

"Of course I hate it. My mom nags me every day, it's driving me crazy."

"Then why don't you try to solve it?" Li Mu asked.

Yang Tao smiled bitterly and said, "How can I solve this? I've never had a boyfriend, and my mom keeps making me go on blind dates. Am I supposed to find someone to pretend to be my boyfriend?"

Li Mu smiled and retorted, "Why not? There are ready-made candidates right here."

Yang Tao glanced at him and rolled her eyes.

"This readily available candidate, you wouldn't be talking about yourself, would you!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Besides me, are there any other people who meet the criteria? Will Auntie be satisfied?"

Seeing Yang Tao remain silent, Li Mu advised, "It's just to help you deal with your aunt, it's not like I'm really going to be your boyfriend, what are you afraid of?"

"Besides, Auntie has a good impression of me. Once she knows about our relationship, she naturally won't try to set you up on blind dates anymore, and you'll be free of that problem!"

Yang Tao was both tempted and suspicious.

"What's in it for you to do this? I'm not really going to be your girlfriend. I'm not just helping you out!"

Li Mu said, "Of course I'm not just helping you out of the simple sense. I have my own agenda. Ever since I met you, I've been smitten and learned a lot about you. I'm planning to win you over and make you my wife."

Seeing Yang Tao's slightly shy expression, Li Mu continued, "This matter is entirely beneficial to me, with many advantages."

"First, once your aunt knows about this, she naturally won't introduce you to any more blind dates. Then I won't have any competitors, and I can slowly and patiently win over your heart, Peach."

Yang Tao blushed slightly and glared at him: "Do you think I'm porridge, simmering over low heat? I won't be fooled by your tricks."

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's hard to say, what if!"

Seeing Yang Tao's shy expression, Li Mu smiled faintly and continued, "Secondly, as your nominal boyfriend, we will inevitably have to interact a lot in the future in order to deal with your aunt and your relatives and friends."

"Being near the water tower makes it easy to get the moon first. The more you get to know me, the better you'll be, and maybe you'll fall in love with me."

Yang Tao blushed slightly. "Pah! I would never fall in love with you."

Li Mu said with a mischievous smile, "That's not necessarily true. Why don't we give it a try? What if you fall head over heels in love with me?"

Yang Tao looked at him with a hint of attraction, yet remained silent.

Li Mu said, "Hey, why don't you say anything at this crucial moment? Are you willing or not? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Where are you going to find someone who's willing to pretend to be your boyfriend, and whose auntie is also satisfied with?"

Yang Tao hesitated and said, "I...I don't know what to do either."

Li Mu said, "Auntie knows I've been in contact with you lately, so she probably won't be making you go on any more blind dates anytime soon. You can think it over carefully and decide whether you need my help or not. This is a rare opportunity!"

"Of course, if you suddenly fall in love with me, we can turn this fake relationship into a real one, and I can be your real boyfriend."

Yang Tao blinked, her face flushed, clearly interested in Li Mu's suggestion. Although she didn't say anything, she seemed to have taken it to heart.

Li Mu chuckled: "So you're admitting it."

Yang Tao blushed, opened her mouth, but couldn't say no, nor did she dare to nod.

Li Mu immediately understood. Without further ado, he suddenly leaned closer and said, "Since you've tacitly agreed, as my newly minted girlfriend, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Yang Tao blushed and said shyly, "How should I express my gratitude?"

Li Mu pointed to his face: "Give me a kiss."

Yang Tao was instantly embarrassed and slapped Li Mu.

"Annoying, I'm ignoring you."

Seeing her coquettish words and actions, Li Mu chuckled a few times, and his mood suddenly improved.

……

In the evening, Yang Tao finished work and had just stepped out of the hotel when Li Mu pulled up in front of her in his Audi Q7.

The window was rolled down, and Li Mu waved and said, "Peach, get in the car."

Yang Tao was stunned for a moment, feeling a sweet feeling in her heart, and also a little embarrassed.

"It's too much trouble for you. I think I'll just take the bus."

Li Mu said with a stern face, "You talk too much nonsense. As your boyfriend, isn't it my duty to pick you up from get off work?"

"boarding."

Yang Tao glared at him and said angrily, "No way! I thought about it and we can just pretend we're dating, that'll be enough to get past my mom. We don't need to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend."

Li Mu said, "So what's next? You can't keep lying to your mom that we're dating! If you keep making our relationship uncertain, she'll start to suspect something over time."

Yang Tao said helplessly, "Let's delay it for a while and think of a solution later."

Li Mu grinned mischievously, "Your plan isn't to dump me and find someone else to lie to your mother, is it?"

Yang Tao blushed deeply and slapped Li Mu, saying, "What are you thinking? I would never do that! At worst, I'll just tell my mom and explain everything."

Li Mu said, "Taozi is beautiful and kind-hearted. I know you're not that kind of person."

Yang Tao gave a haughty "humph".

"You know the truth."

"Hurry up and get in the car, my dear Peach. Haven't you seen your colleagues looking this way?" Li Mu teased.

Yang Tao glanced around and saw several colleagues who had just finished get off work glancing in their direction every now and then, their faces full of gossip.

Feeling a little guilty and shy, she quickly opened the car door and got in. Although Yang Tao didn't say anything, she was quite pleased that Li Mu had gone to the trouble of picking her up and dropping her off at get off work.

"Li Mu, thank you so much for your help."

Li Mu laughed and said, "Just saying thank you is too cliché. How about we have a meal together?"

Yang Tao blushed slightly: "Ah! No need, it's already too much trouble for you to take me home, I'd feel bad if you treated me to dinner too."

Li Mu said with a wicked smile, "What I mean is, you're treating me to dinner."

Yang Tao's face immediately turned bright red, and she was too embarrassed to say no.

"I'll treat... Okay! Okay!"

“You agreed, okay, let’s go now.” Li Mu said, turning the car around and driving towards a nearby restaurant with good food and a nice atmosphere.

Yang Tao was a little confused. Thinking about her wallet, she said somewhat guiltily, "I can't afford to treat you to a fancy meal!"

Li Mu laughed and said, "What's the point of a big meal? With a beautiful woman like you, Peach, I'm full."

Yang Tao was extremely embarrassed and slapped Li Mu, saying, "You're so annoying!"
