Chapter 3467 — Passing Him Off as My Boyfriend
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Listening to her father's furious roaring outside, Guan Xin was not frightened in the least—if her father did not lose his temper, then her plan would have failed to achieve its aim!
She cast a smug glance at her current getup in the mirror: her hair, once neatly combed, was now teased into a spiky, wildly jutting mess in the style of a scene kid, sprayed purple on top, with heavy smoky makeup and huge hoop earrings—exactly the look of those non-mainstream little punk girls on the street!
Hmph. So I'm not allowed to cook at home—fine. I, Guan Xin, can still scare off a blind-date prospect just as well!
"Oh, my tummy's feeling a bit off, what's the rush? I didn't get my period this month, so I'm just checking what's going on!" With that, Guan Xin pushed open the door and stepped out of the bathroom.
"What kind of nonsense is that?" Guan Xiaopeng's face darkened. He felt that after not seeing his daughter for a while, Guan Xin had somehow started talking in such a bold, uninhibited way. Was this some aftereffect of working as a nurse?
Guan Xiaopeng was himself a shareholder at the hospital, so he naturally knew that nurses and doctors dealt with patients every day and had long since lost any sense of embarrassment—they could say anything without blinking. But still... hadn't Guan Xin been studying medical knowledge at someone's home all this time? So why...
But there was no time to think it through; the moment Guan Xiaopeng saw Guan Xin's current getup, he was nearly scared witless. "Xinxin, what kind of getup is this? Go wash it off right now! Scaring people like that—are you off to a costume party?"
"Wash it off? Why should I? I always look like this. Why would I wash it off?" A flicker of a smile crossed Guan Xin's lips, though she concealed it well. "Dad, didn't you say that a blind date is about showing your truest self? I can't very well change myself on purpose for a date, can I?"
"You..." This time Guan Xiaopeng finally understood just what trick Guan Xin was playing! The so-called smoking, those uninhibited remarks, and now this scene-kid getup—all of it was surely to resist this blind date!
Otherwise, if Guan Xin really had turned into this, why wouldn't she have simply dressed and made herself up like this at home? Why go to the trouble of doing it all just now in the bathroom?
Thinking it over now, Guan Xiaopeng knew he had fallen for Guan Xin's scheme. No wonder she had been so cooperative about coming to the blind date before—she had it all planned out, and her killer moves were all saved for the end!
"This must be Auntie Shen, right?" Guan Xin took a drag on her cigarette and blew a puff of smoke right into Shen Yutang's face. "Ah... sorry about that, Auntie. Want one?"
"No, I'm fine..." Shen Yutang gave Guan Xin a peculiar look, but in the end said nothing.
"Guan Xin! Stop making a scene—apologize to Auntie Shen at once, then go put yourself back to normal!" Guan Xiaopeng roared at Guan Xin in a fury, then turned to Shen Yutang with an awkward expression. "Sister-in-law Yuxi, I'm truly sorry. Xinxin, she... she's not usually like this..."
"Oh... it's nothing. That disciple of mine has the same sort of personality—they're actually quite alike. Who knows, they might just make a good match!" Shen Yutang suddenly spoke up. "Since she's all dressed up, there's no need to keep changing back and forth. Xinxin is right—the truest self, after all!"
"This... all right then!" Guan Xiaopeng had quite the headache. Of all times, everything had to fall apart at the critical moment! But since Shen Yutang had said as much, he could only reply, "Fine. I hope this match can be brought about..."
Just then, a knock came at the door of the private room.
"Come in!" Guan Xiaopeng and Shen Yutang said in unison.
Wei Zhao pushed the door open and walked in. He had come from East Sea City, so he was a little late.
