The Secret of Second Marriage

Shen Xing gently chose to sit with me in the corner and have dinner.

The camera was silently filming us from the side.

I said to him, "Thank you for being with me."

This is the truth. If it weren't for Shen Xing, the special guest who came out of nowhere, I would have been all alone.

Shen Xing smiled gently and said, "Sis, from now on, I'll spoil you!"

"Don't even think about it. After everything I've been through, my heart is sealed shut with cement. I'm heartless and loveless. Don't talk to me about love. Love is the most ridiculous word in the world!"

Lost in thought, I slowly picked up a glass of red wine from the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Dinner was sumptuous, with a variety of local specialties, including grilled meats, grilled fish, vegetables, fruits, and sticky rice, filling the entire long table.

I carefully peeled open the sticky rice, tasted it, and it was quite delicious.

Xia Weiwei and her friends sat in the middle, chatting with the male guests, occasionally bursting into light and cheerful laughter.

Zeng Wanwan and President Jiang didn't talk much. President Jiang was just like when I first met him: aloof, quiet, and not good at socializing. Even in crowded places, he would concentrate on his work.

After finishing his meal, President Jiang took a phone call and handled work-related matters at the dinner table.

Zeng Wanwan thoughtfully brewed a cup of coffee and handed it to President Jiang.

Mr. Jiang is now a very busy boss. It's rare for him to find time to record a program. He spends most of his time working and discussing projects worth hundreds of millions.

He's starting to look more and more like a successful boss.

But I feel like I'm becoming more and more estranged from him.

Mr. Jiang is one of the most mature and respectable men among these male guests.

That guy called Boss Kai was always trying to curry favor with Boss Jiang, while ignoring the other male guests.

The conversation quickly turned to today's date, and Xia Weiwei took the initiative to say: "Today on our date, Kai was so good to me. He took me for a drive in a luxury car and we even took a lot of beautiful photos by the river in Kunming."

Do you want to see them? Kai filmed them all for me himself!

"Wow, I'm so envious of you, Vivi! On your first date, a guy was so attentive to you, taking such beautiful pictures of you!"

The female internet celebrity with millions of followers, Michelle, chimed in from the side.

As for that female entrepreneur, Sister A, she's about my age, 33.

The difference is that when she was young, she didn't have time to date because she was focused on starting her business. She devoted herself to her work and gradually became a strong woman.

Wherever she goes, she's always dressed in a black suit, with neat, short hair—a particularly dashing woman.

If it weren't for her mother's serious illness and concern for her marriage, she wouldn't have come to this dating show.

Sister A is very similar to President Jiang; after finishing her meal, she was also busy working on her laptop.

Xia Weiwei and Mi Xue, a female internet celebrity with millions of followers, found themselves getting along very well, chatting about everything from cosmetics, skincare, and plastic surgery to various designer bags and jewelry.

They had a lot in common, and after spending the night together, they became as close as best friends, holding hands wherever they went.

The program's host let us chat for a while, and after dinner, he called us to the garden behind the guesthouse. There were a few camping chairs on the lawn and a barbecue table, so we could barbecue and conduct interviews at the same time.

The host asked a question: "Now that everyone has finished their first dates, and we have a basic understanding of each other, let's talk about your first impressions of your date."

Xia Weiwei blushed and said shyly, "He's very good, I'm very satisfied."

Michelle's date today is Haoyang, a male celebrity who is neither very famous nor particularly handsome. He is a younger brother who is very tall, but has small eyes. He has a slightly roguish charm.

Haoyang and Shen Xing are rivals.

He was particularly jealous of Shen Xing. They came from the same talent show, but Shen Xing was quickly signed by a major agency and filmed several period dramas. Now he is a very popular male star.

He has also played some roles in web dramas, but he is still far from becoming famous.

The reason he was able to participate in this program is because he hooked up with a wealthy female patron. She paid the program team to give him this spot.

In front of the camera, Haoyang showed affection to Michelle, a female internet celebrity with millions of followers, saying: "Michelle is the kindest girl I have ever met. We went to see a movie together today and had a lot of fun."

My dream girl is Michelle, and I hope we can be together!

Michelle smiled shyly, but her gaze fell on President Jiang.

Xia Weiwei and Kai Ge also expressed their satisfaction with each other and their willingness to continue getting to know each other.

The female entrepreneur, Sister A, and the handsome programmer went on a blind date today.

However, the handsome programmer Yang Nan was very stingy. He took Sister A to the park for a free afternoon, but he wouldn't even give her a bottle of water.

When asked about her impression of Yang Nan, Sister A bluntly said with a cold face, "Not suitable."

Yang Nan wore a plaid shirt and glasses, looking refined and handsome, but he exuded a petty air about him, even though he already earned millions a year.

But when he went on dates, he was unwilling to spend a single penny, and even implied that Sister A was a bit too old, because in his hometown, it was not easy for women over thirty to have children.

Out of consideration for her image and to comply with the program's arrangements, Sister A wore high heels and spent the whole day walking in the park with the other party, until her legs were sore.

At this point, in order to save face for the other party, she tactfully said that it was not appropriate.

But to my surprise, upon hearing those three words, Yang Nan immediately said, "I also think it's quite inappropriate. I feel that our ages are incompatible firstly, and I'm not considering women over 30!"

"Do you own a house in Beijing? Do you own a car? If we get together, you can choose any car you want, and I can buy the house and put it in your name. Is age still an issue?"

After hearing this, Sister A gave a cold laugh and said directly.

Programmer Yang Nan was stunned when he heard this; he hadn't expected Sister A to have such good conditions.

His attitude changed immediately. He sat up straight and said, "That's not impossible. I can consider it. It doesn't matter if I'm over thirty."

"Heh, I can afford a house and a car, but I don't even want you. A stingy guy who won't even buy himself a bottle of water!"

The female boss, Sister A, said it directly.

It's kind of funny, actually.

Today's date only cost 100 yuan. Sister A ordered two Starbucks for herself and also treated Yang Nan to one Starbucks.

When Yang Nan heard Sister A complain about his stinginess, he immediately retorted, "Who are you calling a cheapskate who wouldn't even buy you a bottle of water! We're not even dating yet, it's just our first date, why should I buy you water?"

"Aren't you supposed to be an independent woman? Why don't you buy it yourself?"

"So I bought it, and then I even gave you a free drink. Have you forgotten?"

The female boss sneered.

The programmer instantly blushed with anger and remained silent.

I listened quietly to their complaints about their dates, thinking to myself, "Thank goodness I didn't have to go on a date with that programmer today."

As far as I know, that programmer Yang Nan works at a big company, is handsome, and earns several million yuan a year, but he has very high standards, so he has been single since graduating from a 985 university.

There are a few girls in the big factory who admire him.

But he didn't like any of them and wanted to find a young, beautiful, rich, and successful woman.

While he was eating, his eyes kept glancing at Xia Weiwei and Zeng Wanwan. They were both top-tier rich and beautiful women in Beijing, carrying Hermes bags worth hundreds of thousands of yuan and wearing expensive long dresses. Their attire was several levels above that of ordinary girls.

I sat down and observed quietly for a while. This programmer was just trying to hook up with rich and beautiful women, hoping to rise to the top in one step. Unfortunately, his behavior was too ugly and too low-class.

So what if a guy like him is handsome, has a stable job, and is highly educated? His scheming is written all over his face; he's only interested in finding a rich girlfriend.

His feedback to the production team about today's date was that he and Sister A were not a good match!

Both of them have said they're not a good match, which means that A-jie and the programmer are completely severing ties and can each find their next partner.

The program team also interviewed President Jiang and Zeng Wanwan.

Both President Jiang and Zeng Wanwan had the air of a gentleman and a lady.

The host asked President Jiang how he felt about the date.

President Jiang, having finished most of his work, sat in a chair, dressed in a suit and tie, looking handsome, and accepted an interview with the host.

He unexpectedly said, "I'm not very familiar with Ms. Zeng. Perhaps we could consider getting to know other potential blind date candidates."

The host was actually quite shocked because the inside information he received was that President Jiang and Zeng Wanwan's marriage was an alliance between two wealthy families, and they were getting married at the end of this year.

This is a pre-arranged couple!

The production team originally planned to matchmake President Jiang and Zeng Wanwan. When the production team releases this gossip later, it will definitely trend on social media.

But unexpectedly, President Jiang broke up the couple on the very first day after the date and wanted to arrange other blind dates.

This moment gave every female guest present hope.

But when I heard what President Jiang said, I was completely unmoved. I have a phobia of germs, and it's impossible for me to have a fake date with President Jiang.

It's impossible for me and President Jiang anymore; I've lost all my mystique about him.

It was precisely because I knew what kind of man President Jiang was that I decided to leave him soberly and decisively.

No matter how affectionate he appears, he will ultimately choose a woman who is suitable for him!

Why bother? Are you playing me for a fool? My mother's feelings are feelings too!

I pretended not to hear.

During the interview, Zeng Wanwan said with particular confidence: "My target has always been President Jiang from the beginning to the end. I believe that he will definitely choose me in the end."

The last group of interviewees was me and Shen Xing.

The host still asked Shen Xing and me how we felt about the date, and whether there was any romantic spark between us.

My answer was: "No, I have a kind of sisterly or brotherly affection for Shen Xing, and I hope he goes far in his acting career!"

Shen Xing's answer was: "Yes! My crush is Jiang Man. Today's date was very romantic, and I want to continue dating her."
