After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Wen Yanqing looked at Lin Gantang with a smile. The moment he raised his eyes, he saw two guests who had just arrived not far behind Shi Jun.

His expression remained unchanged as he retracted his gaze and continued to attend to the food. Then, he saw Shi Jun trying to get up.

“Where are you going?” Wen Yanqing pressed down on Shi Jun’s shoulder and made him sit down.

“I’m leaving. I shouldn’t be here.” Shi Jun shrugged.

“The dishes are already served and you’re leaving now?” Wen Yanqing stopped him and scooped some food for him. “I was thinking of asking about your company when it’s convenient for everyone to meet.”

Shi Jun reluctantly sat back down.

Alright, let’s eat then. I’m still hungry although it’s hard to swallow.

“Jun Zi!”

When Shi Jun heard this name, he immediately thought of Tang Shuming. He turned around and saw that it was indeed him.

However, when he turned, Shi Jun also saw Qin Jiayao sitting facing a well-dressed man.

“Jun Zi, when did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me? Are you free? Let’s go to the bar for a drink or two tonight.” Tang Shuming laughed and patted Shi Jun twice.

Shi Jun withdrew his gaze from behind.

“Another day. I’ll treat you to a drink some other time,” he said to Tang Shuming.

“Alright, don’t go back on your word.”

Tang Shuming came to meet someone. He chatted with Shi Jun for a while before going to meet his friend.

Shi Jun didn’t say that he wanted to leave, but he was absent-minded during the meal.

Wen Yanqing looked at Qin Jiayao, who was chatting happily with another person, and then looked at Shi Jun, who wanted to turn back several times. “Aren’t you going to take a look?” he asked.

“Let’s not disturb them.” Shi Jun shook his head.

Although he said that he would not disturb them, he was still thinking about it. Wen Yanqing shook his head when he saw him putting some dried chili into his mouth absentmindedly and then frowning at the spiciness.

From where she was sitting, Lin Gantang could see Qin Jiayao talking to the man opposite her with a smile. Lin Gantang had never seen that man before. From his appearance, he looked like a serious person.

She and Qin Jiayao were acquaintances and didn’t usually interact much, so she didn’t pay much attention to her. The current situation was obviously that Qin Jiayao had let go earlier than Shi Jun.

The two of them casually ordered two dishes and didn’t eat much. After chatting for a while, they prepared to leave.

Shi Jun tightened his grip on his chopsticks and loosened them again, eventually saying, “I’m sorry, I’ll leave for a while.”

The man opposite Qin Jiayao went to pay the bill, and Shi Jun walked to Qin Jiayao’s side.

“You’re here for a meal too?” Qin Jiayao was stunned when she saw him. Then she smiled. “Is anything the matter?”

“Was the person just now your blind date?” he asked.

Qin Jiayao nodded.

Shi Jun’s chest felt like it was stuffed with cotton, but he still asked, “Before I came back, I heard that your family arranged a blind date. Is this the one?”

“No, this is the second one.”

The second one… Anyway, he was the only one who wasn’t being considered?

He had just told Yanqing that he had given up, but when he saw Qin Jiayao, he realized that he hadn’t given up. “Is this the person your family has chosen for you to marry?”

“His family is in politics. He’s working in the city now. His age and conditions are not bad.”

“If his personality is suitable and you get along well, then it’s him?” Shi Jun asked.

“Yes. Aren’t all blind dates like this?” Qin Jiayao tucked her hair behind her ear. “My dad and the others have already gone through with a round of checks, so it won’t be bad.”

Shi Jun became more and more depressed and lost.

Qin Jiayao saw him this way and said, “Since we’ve separated, you should find a girl who suits you. We’re not the same as before. We’re more mature and free and pursue different things..”
