Mr. Popular Guy [WANGXIAN]

CHAPTER 10: FAKE DATE PART 1

Today's morning was a little cold, but it was quite sunny, Jiang Fengmian woke up to a loud sound in the dining room. He was startled, looking up to the window of his room he could guess that maybe it was close to 7:00 a.m., rays of sun were bathing his face, making him grunt. He could actually describe himself as a morning person, he felt more active in the early hours of the day but waking up to something breaking was nothing to be happy about. Because of the hour the only person who could be already up would be his wife, thinking about it, something breaking wasn't that weird, she normally had bad temper during mornings.

Fengmian decided that maybe he should check out what was happening so he got out of bed, he sighed when he finally stood up, he really wanted to cuddle in bed for some more minutes but duty calls. He went down the stairs just to find his angry wife telling a maid to clean up the floor, it was covered in the remains of what used to be a glass tumbler.

-Good morning Ziyuan- Fengmian said with a calm voice, trying to smooth the environment a little bit

-What's so good about this morning? Are you kidding me?- She said shouting with rage at him, instead of getting better her aura just got way denser

Fengmian just gave a soft laugh, after all these years of marriage he still doesn't understand how his wife can get this angry by a little sentence- Can you tell me what happened? You usually don't wake up this angry

-Jin Zixun's mother called me, they managed to get that little bastard engaged with a great lady, how can he be engaged but not our boys?

-Don't pay attention to things like that, you shouldn't compare our kids with Jin's children

-At least we should introduce some girls to Wei Ying, after all he's your oldest son and he has never dated anyone, what will people think? Even Jiang Cheng has dated some girls, this is something serious Fengmian- Yu Ziyuan was walking from one place to another as she talked or more likely shouted, Fengmian didn't like the tone she used, neither did he like when she said that Wei Ying was his son, he is son of both of them, they both adopted him and raised him like he was connected with them by blood. Still he decided to stay calm, that was just his temper, like a soft spring breeze, the total opposite of his wife. He breathed heavily before starting to talk again

-I know but I don't want him to have an arranged or forced marriage, he should've the freedom to choose who he spends his life with and when to do it, I just want him to be happy- Fengmian responded with a peaceful voice or at least he expected it came out like that

-Oh so now you're telling me that we aren't happy because our marriage was arranged- She was getting angrier each second, and anger always made her misunderstood everything Fengmian said, she just became unreasonable and savage

-You know I didn't mean like that, I...-

-Wei Ying, come to the kitchen NOW!- Madame Yu interrupted shouting, Fengmian opened his eyes widely, this has gotten out of control, well the best now is to let her blow off some steam, he'll talk to her later when she is calmer.

Wei Ying had wokend up earlier because of all the shouting his mother made, even if he was used to it, he couldn't just ignore it. Also, when she said his name in the middle of the conversation his nosy head couldn't help but hide on the stairs and spy, and he didn't like were this conversation was going at all. He was going to hide in his room when Madame Yu called his name, with that poisonous voice that could scare a pack of ferocious bears, he jumped in fear and started to walk towards his parents.

-Good morning- he gave them a nervous smile

-Sit down, we have to talk- Wei Ying started walking slowly, reaching out a chair, Madame Yu cleared her throat and started speaking- According to the traditions, as a son of the Yunmeng Jiang leader family, when you reach twenty years you should get married. But you're already eighteen and you have never shown interest in anyone, so your father and I have decided to sent you on a blind date- Fengmian had a shocked look, question marks written down in his forehead, he never agreed to this, it seems like now it's to late. Disagreeing with his wife in this precise moment would bring hell to his house

- Wait a minute shouldn't you first ask if I want to get married or something like that?- Even if he already knew this conversation was going to happen at a certain point, he still wished that he wouldn't have to have his first date like this, he felt indignant- First of all I have never been in a date, I have no idea as how a date goes and it is worst if I don't even know the person, I could ruin it and give a bad reputation to our family name- He tried to give a valuable argument to dismiss the topic

-Well you can ask your brother, he has been in many dates already -

-Can you call them dates, actually? They always end up screwed... now that I think of it even if I tried, I couldn't get a worse reputation than Chengcheng-Wei Ying murmured to himself

-What did you say?- Madame Yu looked at him with a deadly stare

-No-nothing mom, I'll have that blind date- After all he can't lose anything- I'm going to school...- he should come up with a plan to not ruin his very first date, he doesn't want to end up in the 'black dating list' like his younger brother and if he ruined it, his reputation as a womanizer would burn down. He can't risk that, it was a funny card to use when teasing others.

His head was busy with thoughts the whole bus ride, while he was walking down the school corridor he couldn't help but hiss. He really hated these traditions, he actually didn't mind having an arranged marriage, he had seen couples that were joined in that way and still managed to live a happy life. But what if he didn't enjoy the company of the lady that his parents chose, or worst what if he liked it and ruined the date because of his untamable and spontaneous personality. Maybe he could ask Mianmian to have a practice date with him, but he doubts she would be pleased with that idea, that his proposal was rejected would be most likely. He could also ask Shijie for some advice, but she has never been on an actual date, and asking Jiang Cheng or Huaisang would be social suicide. Since Wen Ning was too shy to be in the dating business already, the only friend left was Wen Qing, but she wasn't the type of girl that knew or at least enjoyed the idea of romance, in summary he's doomed.

He entered the classroom and throw his backpack of his seat, then he huffed and groaned, Lan Zhan frowned beside him.

-Wei Ying, what's wrong?- Lan Zhan inquired interrupting his frustrating line of thoughts

-My parents are sending me on a blind date the next weekend, but I know nothing about dates and there's a high probability that I'm going to ruin it, shaming the Jiang name. So, I reached the conclusion that I need someone to practice with, but I have nobody- He said sitting next to Lan Zhan

-I can practice with you- Lan Zhan replied, leaving both of them surprised surprised, it was maybe the first time Wanji didn't measured his words before speaking, but now that he thinks about it, it might be a shameless proposal coming from him, but not a bad one.

-Wait, first of all do you know anything about dates?- It sounded quite offensive but Wei Ying had a point, he knew nothing about social interaction, worst talking about romance

-I can ask my brother for advice, he has experience- It was somewhat true, before Xichen went abroad, he used to have a girlfriend, but she refused to have a long-distance relationship and they broke up. Presumably he could give his little brother a great advice

- Wouldn't it be weird if the two of us went on a date even if it's fake?

-Just if you make it weird- Wangji knew it was weird, they weren't that close after all, but he couldn't bare to lose the opportunity to have a date with his crush, even if it wasn't a real one.

-Hah Lan Zhan you're really great, just don't make me fall for you in the date- Wei Ying winked joking around, his mood was better now. For him even if it was for a fake date, spending time with Lan Zhan was always great, Lan Zhan just huffed for his bad joke but seemed more relaxed when Wei Ying's humor got back to normal. In their heart both of them knew they couldn't this date to happen.
