My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 744 Blind Date
"Qin Yu, thank you!"
Banxia showed a grateful expression.
Her grandfather had already rushed her with a phone call when she was still at the crime scene in the suburban area. She had thought by refusing, her grandfather would let her be, but to her surprise, he continued his phone bombardment in the afternoon.
It gave her a headache, leaving her no choice but to tough it out for mere formality’s sake.
However, fearing that the other party might pester her afterwards, she came up with a solution: why not find a shield to bring along?
Her male friends were almost all known to her grandfather. After much consideration, she felt that Qin Yu was the most suitable candidate.
They had only recently met and weren’t that close. She had done him a favor, and he could repay her with this one. It seemed fair to call it even.
"Take a ten-minute break, and I’ll ask grandpa which hotel. Otherwise, if you show up looking like this, they won’t believe you’re my boyfriend!"
Banxia saw the look of sheer exhaustion on Qin Yu’s face and couldn’t help but remind him with a light-hearted tone.
"Oh...."
Qin Yu shut his eyes. Since the results of the appraisal wouldn’t be available until tomorrow morning, there was no use worrying about it now.
A little while later, Banxia stood by the window. After finishing the call with the Divine Doctor, she turned to Qin Yu and said, "It’s at the Jiangnan Hotel, owned by the Heixing Group!"
"Then let’s go!"
Qin Yu opened his eyes. He had been practicing for a short while, which was as good as a night’s sleep.
"By the way, I’m over forty years old. Is it appropriate for me to pretend to be your boyfriend?"
Qin Yu scratched his head, suddenly remembering that he was still wearing a mask, giving him the appearance of a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Pfft...."
Banxia couldn’t help laughing. Her eyes were large and slightly upturned at the corners, which gave her glances a teasing quality, even when her gaze was perfectly normal.
"What are you laughing at?"
Qin Yu looked at Banxia, puzzled.
"Are you really forty years old?"
Banxia blinked, her lips curling into a smirk.
"Er.... Isn’t it obvious!"
Qin Yu paused, taken aback.
"Hehe, you might fool others, but not me. In medicine, there’s something called bone structure. No matter how someone changes their appearance, the bone structure doesn’t change.
Do you know how those portrait experts in the police forensics team pinpoint the suspects that witnesses describe? They start by sketching the bone structure, then match it with different facial features for witnesses to identify. Once confirmed, it’s printed on wanted posters. And since I’ve studied forensics too, I’m certain you’re not forty years old. Hmm... not even thirty, at most twenty-eight, right?"
Banxia looked Qin Yu over, speaking with utter confidence.
"Er.... It seems ’There’s always someone better; everyone’s a specialist in their own field’ does hold water after all!"
Qin Yu was essentially admitting that he had indeed altered his appearance.
After all, she was a forensic expert, a professional in that field. Others probably didn’t have the skill to discern his real age at a glance. Otherwise, he would be quite a failure as a con man.
"Hehe, everyone has their secrets, and I won’t pry," said Banxia cheerily, pausing before cocking her head to the side. "Actually, I’m a bit curious about what kind of face lies beneath your mask. Judging from your bone structure, it should be rather masculine and handsome. But then, I’m afraid it might be like Guo Xiang asking Yang Guo to remove his mask, and one glimpse could change a lifetime..."
"You’re wrong, I’m actually very ugly!"
Qin Yu could tell that although Banxia was a forensic doctor, she was privately a cheerful, sunny girl with a hint of romance and fantasy.
"Hehe...."
Banxia clearly trusted her professional judgment more than Qin Yu’s claim of ugliness. With her arms crossed, she blinked and said, "My grandpa is in his seventies and still an honorary disciple of the Shennong Sect. Yet, you’re only in your twenties and have surpassed him in medical expertise. With such talent, I think your appearance is already irrelevant!"
"Just lucky, I guess. I stumbled on it really. My medical skills are very average!"
Qin Yu downplayed it.
In fact, Banxia was a third-generation wealthy individual herself, and he had encountered many others like her. Apart from Shen Yubai, she seemed to have rather proper values.
"All right, I’ve already given my colleagues in the identification department a heads up, working overtime to identify those two... uh... individuals. I hope neither of them is your wife!"
Su Banxia was quite emotionally intelligent, understanding that although they might just be two burnt bodies in the eyes of others, one of them could be Qin Yu’s beloved.
"Thank you!"
Qin Yu said sincerely.
Su Banxia wasn’t the particularly stunning type of beauty, but her cheerfulness, forthrightness, and attention to detail provided a very comfortable feeling when around her.
"You’re welcome!"
After saying this, Su Banxia walked two steps towards the door, then stepped back again.
"What is it now?"
Qin Yu asked, puzzled.
"We’re a couple, right? Going out like this, isn’t it a bit too impersonal?"
Su Banxia asked with a blink of her eyes.
"What else? Maybe first, a whirlwind of a wet kiss to heat things up?"
Qin Yu joked.
Su Banxia was an amusing girl. She wouldn’t get mad at his remark. He had been gloomy all day; it was a way to lighten the mood, after all!
"Tsk, even if we were a real couple, I would never kiss you. The human mouth is dirtier than a toilet! I don’t understand what those couples find so tasty,"
Su Banxia said as a forensic scientist whose understanding of the human body far exceeded that of the average person.
"Hehe, I dare to lick my own mouth, do you dare to lick a toilet?"
Qin Yu couldn’t help but laugh. After a pause, he continued, "That’s because you haven’t met your true love. Once you do, you’d be willing to give up even your life, so what’s a kiss to that person?"
"Anyway, I think kissing is disgusting. How about this, I’ll just link arms with you!"
Having said that, Su Banxia confidently took Qin Yu’s arm.
"Hehe, if your grandfather knew that you were pretending to be a couple with this middle-aged guy, he’d be so shocked his beard would curl up!"
Qin Yu said with a wry smile.
"Tsk, not necessarily. My grandfather is fine in every other way, but he values family interests too much. With your medical skills, if I really married you, he would definitely be thrilled,"
Su Banxia said with a snort.
"That kind of thinking is all too common in big families."
Qin Yu could understand the Divine Doctor’s actions, after all, it was all for the prosperity of his family.
"Let’s not talk about my grandfather. When we get there, make sure you do a good job and scare off my suitor!"
With her arm linked in Qin Yu’s, Su Banxia walked out the door with him and got into her Land Rover, heading towards the Jiangnan Hotel.
Half an hour later.
The pair walked through the revolving glass door.
"Hi, Miss Su!"
A young man in a suit, a spitting image of a successful businessman, stood up from his seat.
However, when he saw Su Banxia arm in arm with a middle-aged man, his smile froze on his face.
What the heck, bringing a man to a blind date, could this be the legendary male best friend?
"Hello..."
Su Banxia nodded indifferently and sat down opposite the young man in the suit.
"Annyeonghaseyo!"
The corner of the young man’s eye twitched as he reached out to Qin Yu, speaking fluent Korean, with a clear provocative undertone.
"Aren’t you from Hua Country? Proud of speaking Korean instead of your mother tongue?"
Qin Yu looked at the young man in the suit indifferently, showing no intention of shaking hands with him.
