I just started college and my advisor turned out to be my blind date?

Chapter 45 Boyfriend

"Dad, school starts soon."

"I'm new here, things are bound to be very complicated. You see..."

Su Manqing had just taken a shower and came out barefoot, wrapped in a bathrobe.

Water droplets slid down her fair and delicate skin, and the hot water gave her a charming blush.

"Don't want to go on blind dates?"

Su's father's tone remained authoritative.

"No, it's not that. I just broke up with Qin Yaozu, and I'm not in a good mood."

"I know I'm not young, and I'm an only child..."

"I'm just not feeling too good."

Su Manqing's eyes flickered, and she used Qin Yaozu as a shield again.

"It's okay if we don't go on blind dates."

When Su's father suddenly relented, Su Manqing's beautiful eyes widened, thinking that her coquettish tactics had worked.

"But I can't not get married!"

"I'll give you two weeks to find another boyfriend. After winter break, bring him back to Chang'an to meet your parents."

"You two have exactly six months to spend together, which gives you time to develop your relationship."

"It was a deep voice from Su's father," he said.

Su Manqing pouted helplessly. Find a boyfriend within two weeks?

Apart from Lu Ming, she couldn't think of anyone else at all.

But something about the CEO's father's words sounded a bit strange.

Six months to cultivate feelings, it sounds like a blind date.

Su Manqing seemed to have sensed something unusual and asked suspiciously:

"Dad, you wouldn't have arranged for that blind date surnamed Lu to infiltrate my life and pull off that old hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress tactic, would you?"

"It's 6202 already, that's outdated!"

Su's father spoke without the slightest pause:

"If that doesn't work, I'll deactivate your card."

"You're a grown adult now, you should be able to support yourself!"

Even Su's mother was chiming in through the microphone:

"Manman, you should try to be more understanding of your parents. Do you remember your high school classmate? His grandson is already in kindergarten."

"He's so cute, he's making your mom drool!"

Su Manqing felt a wave of despair.

Judging from her mother's tone, she was now on her father's side.

Now that the father has resorted to the drastic measure of suspending the card, it's impossible for him to get any financial support from the mother...

"I'll think about it some more."

"The main problem is, I don't know anyone here!"

Su Manqing used a delaying tactic.

"I'm only giving you 48 hours. If you don't get a satisfactory answer after 48 hours, you know my temper."

Su's father's voice turned cold, carrying the decisive and swift manner typical of the company.

"You can't push Manman too hard."

Su's mother advised from the side.

Su Manqing felt a warmth in her heart and was just about to act coquettishly towards her mother.

But then Su's mother continued into the microphone:

"Manman, our family is quite large and wealthy, and you are our only daughter."

"So we never object to what you study in college or what job you do after graduation."

"It's the same with marriage; at worst, you can just pick a young and handsome younger man."

"I've heard that relationships between older women and younger men are very popular now, and that they're more likely to be happy in the future."

As Su's mother spoke, she suddenly chuckled.

Su's father frowned, his voice carrying a hint of bravado but underlying weakness:

"So you're marrying a wretched old man like me? Are you being treated unfairly?"

"Otherwise what? This is home, I can't be bothered to give you face, old man Su..."

Su's mother retorted, followed by a suppressed groan from Su's father.

"You guys go ahead with your work, I'm hanging up!"

Having witnessed their constant bickering, Su Manqing's eyelids twitched, and she hung up the phone.

As my father has gotten older, he has been coming home later and later.

Upon seeing his mother, his tone of voice became increasingly weak and feeble...

Su Manqing was an adult, so of course she understood the reasoning behind it.

"Mom's right. Anyway, I'm not after anyone's money. Marrying a younger brother would be great!"

Su Manqing muttered to herself, and suddenly remembered Lu Ming's muscular physique in the hotel that day.

Despite the pain, the extreme pleasure was unforgettable, which is why she got so angry when she saw Lu Ming surrounded by beautiful women.

"No! Something's still very strange."

"Dad is anxious for me to find a boyfriend, while Mom is even more insistent, saying that a younger brother is very appealing..."

"Lu Ming also has the surname Lu..."

Unable to figure things out, Su Manqing had no choice but to seek outside help.

"Yiyi, I have a best friend..."

Su Manqing dialed Ye Yiyi's number.

"Okay, Sister Manqing, go ahead. I just finished showering, I have plenty of time to eat my fill!"

Ye Yiyi's emotional value remains at its peak.

She recalled Su Manqing's retraction of the message yesterday, and the scene of Su Manqing sneaking off to her prenatal checkup today, and her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

Ye Yiyi had heard Su Manqing say that she and Qin Yaozu were nominally boyfriend and girlfriend, but in reality, they were completely innocent.

So who exactly is capable of plucking this flower from the highest peak?

Ye Yiyi recalled the voluptuous figure she had embraced when she slept with Su Manqing, and even she, a girl, was envious of that lucky girl.

"Well, my best friend is my high school classmate, and we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"She had never been in a relationship, but due to a small matter, she became pregnant unexpectedly..."

Su Manqing quickly added:

"She studied abroad, where the atmosphere is much freer than in China!"

Su Manqing's explanation only made things worse, and Ye Yiyi was 100% certain that the woman was Su Manqing herself.

But for the sake of her work, Ye Yiyi was willing to sacrifice even Lu Ming, so what does a little bit of intelligence matter?

"I completely agree!"

"Why is it that when men cheat on their wives, they're considered 'playful'? Our heroine can be too!"

"Sister Manqing, what problems is she facing now? Is she planning to pursue an independent woman path, leaving her father behind?"

Ye Yiyi said in a sickeningly sweet tone.

This topic remains highly popular on Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform).

Remembering that Su Manqing hadn't been in a relationship for many years, she cleverly chimed in.

"She shouldn't be that extreme."

After all, she comes from a happy family, and is exceptionally beautiful and has a great figure. She's never lacked male admirers since childhood, so she wouldn't have developed such an extreme personality.

Su Manqing was taken aback by Ye Yiyi's extreme proposal.

"Her parents in the country were unaware of this situation; they were just urging her to go on blind dates."

"As a result, her blind date stood her up, causing her to be implicated. Her father threatened to cut off her credit card if she didn't find someone within two weeks!"

Su Manqing said sullenly.

"What?! Card suspended?!"

Ye Yiyi jumped out of bed and stomped hard on a doll that looked like a chibi version of Lu Ming with her delicate feet.

If Su Manqing's card is suspended, who will pay her salary?

The current environment is not good, and it's the sweltering heat of July.

Does Ye Yiyi have to brave the scorching sun and get entangled with HRs from one company after another trying to boost their KPIs?

"Yiyi, keep your voice down, it's already midnight."

"I remember the soundproofing in your rented room wasn't very good, was it?"

Su Manqing was surprised by Ye Yiyi's strong reaction. She pursed her lips, but also felt a sense of relief.

Ye Yiyi was the right choice as a personal assistant; she even cares so much about her best friend's life. No wonder Su Manqing likes her so much!

"Sister Manqing, this is an extremely urgent matter!"

"I must come to you now."
