Chapter 142 – Failed Matchmaking (2)

Zhou Qinhe seemed a bit hesitant when Qin Sirui had first broached him about it, but had finally accepted it for the sake of Qin Sirui. Qin Sirui didn’t think much about it. He figured that Boss Zhou was probably worried that his cousin would be just like any other spoiled socialite in the circle, but that was fine. As soon as he met her, Boss Zhou would learn that his cousin was gentle and cute and a very good match for him.

As he felt that it was a done deal plus men were usually not too attentive to details, Qin Sirui hadn’t been paying it much attention ever since he had set them up. After all, the two of them need to work on their relationships themselves. His cousin, however, did tell him after their first meeting that Boss Zhou seemed a bit cold to her and possibly already has a girlfriend. Qin Sirui had asked around and learned that Boss Zhou did not have any woman. He had reassured his cousin and told her that she could be a little more proactive.

This was his cousin’s first art show since she had returned to China. She had spent a lot of time and effort in preparing for it. Qin Sirui had even asked a few friends to attend with him once they were done with work.

He felt that his cousin would have invited Boss Zhou long time ago, so he never checked on it. He didn’t expect Boss Zhou to be having lunch with another lady and they didn’t seem like they were just friends. Qin Sirui, who had hoped that Boss Zhou could potentially become his cousin-in-law, was surprised. Staring at the table and at loss for a while, he finally decided to walk up and found out the details for his cousin. Perhaps they were just friends or relatives.

Qin Sirui was disappointed when he noticed that Boss Zhou didn’t seem concerned at all when he purposefully brought up his cousin’s art show but merely nonchalantly shook hands with him. “Yeah, I want to try something different over the weekend. What a coincidence that you are here too.”

Boss Zhou’s look had always been unfathomable. Qin SIrui already had a bad feeling, but he must ask one more question. “Yeah. This place is pretty good, except that they are by reservation only. That’s kind of a hassle.”

“It’s not too bad to make reservations in advance. You can make sure that you will get the rare dishes.”

From his answer alone, Qin Sirui could tell that Zhou Qinhe had, indeed, made a reservation ahead of time. And it looked like he even made the reservation himself. It’s just lunch; he wouldn’t have done that if they were just friends or relatives. He couldn’t help but take another look at the woman sitting across from him and teased, “Yes, you are right. Brother He knows how to make the best out of it. Hahaha.”

Zhou Qinhe showed no reactions to any of Qin Sirui’s subtle prodding at all. Yan Shuyu was the one who had paid the most attention. Unfortunately, without knowing the background story, she couldn’t make much of what he was saying. She did, however, look up and gave the boss a curious look when Qin Sirui first mentioned the art show. She thought to herself that it was never mentioned in the novel that Zhou Qinhe had interests other than making money and being manipulative. That was cool.

Then, her attention had switched to Qin Sirui. She figured anyone who could affectionately refer to the boss as “Brother He” and not “Boss Zhou” must also be a young master of a prestigious family. He was good looking too. Thick brows, large eyes, and a tall nose. He was an all-round Tall, Rich, and Handsome.

Perhaps the boss has caught sight of the way that she was studying Qin Sirui. She heard the boss introduce her to the Tall, Rich, and Handsome.  The Tall, Rich, and Handsome extended his hand to her and said, “Good afternoon, Ms. Yan. I am Qin Sirui.”
