171: Does he even deserve it?

"You are Chen Qiu?"

Ding Qiao looked at the Chen Qiu in front of her, a faint glimmer flickering in her eyes.

She hadn't expected that the blind date arranged by her vicious stepmother would be even more handsome than in the photos.

With his tall, upright posture under his casual wear, in a daze, she almost mistook him for a celebrity about to enter the stage.

"Hello."

Chen Qiu nodded, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at the Ding Qiao before him.

She was actually wearing a wedding dress!

From a distance, he hadn't noticed it, but now he realized that the white dress under Ding Qiao's down jacket was nothing more than a simple wedding dress.

She was even wearing a veil on her head!

It wasn't just the wedding dress.

Ding Qiao was only about 158 cm tall, and from Chen Qiu's perspective, he could see a black pattern below her collarbone.

Well, a tattoo!

Her small ears were filled with a row of piercings, with little sticks inserted into them.

At first glance, she looked like she was cosplaying Pain from Naruto.

"Hello, are you Qiao Qiao's blind date?"

"You're actually quite handsome!"

"I'm Qiao Qiao's best friend, my name is Liu Yue!"

The other girl, arm-in-arm with Ding Qiao, examined Chen Qiu with curiosity, her tone slightly lively.

Well, this one was also wearing a wedding dress!

"By the way, this is my fiancé, Feng Ye!"

Liu Yue introduced the boy following beside her.

He was wearing a suit and looked very honest and simple.

"Hehe, hello brother!"

Feng Ye stepped up and immediately reached into his pocket, pulling out a pack of Liqun cigarettes to offer Chen Qiu one.

Before the cigarette pack was even opened, Liu Yue, who was standing to the side, swept a glance at him from the corner of her eye, and Feng Ye's movements immediately froze.

After giving Chen Qiu an awkward and apologetic look, he stuffed the Liqun back into his pocket.

Liu Yue nodded with satisfaction and excitedly pulled Ding Qiao toward the inside.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up and line up to enter!"

At this moment, Feng Ye leaned over and said with an apologetic face.

"Sorry, brother, my wife doesn't like me smoking."

Chen Qiu nodded in understanding, then looked at his formal attire and the wedding dresses on the two women, Liu Yue and Ding Qiao, and asked curiously.

"What's this about?"

"We're getting engaged today; we just finished taking our engagement photos this morning!"

Feng Ye said happily.

A giant question mark appeared in Chen Qiu's mind.

Finish taking engagement photos and then come to a music festival in a wedding dress?

He didn't understand.

But he still offered his congratulations to Feng Ye.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"Hehe, I've been pursuing her for four or five years, waiting until she returned from studying abroad before we finally achieved a happy ending!"

In Feng Ye's tone, there was quite a sense of bitterness turning into sweetness.

"Was she studying abroad before too?"

"Yeah, she was classmates with Ding Qiao!"

When Feng Ye mentioned Ding Qiao, a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

In the end, he just patted Chen Qiu's shoulder and said with a bit of hidden meaning.

"Ding Qiao is not an easy girl to pursue, brother, you'd better not hold out too much hope!"

Chen Qiu glanced at him and chuckled.

"Didn't you pursue yours for four or five years before you caught her?"

"That's different!"

"How is it different?"

Feng Ye explained seriously.

"Yueyue is well-behaved and conservative, has no bad habits, and is a good girl!"

Well-behaved and conservative?

Chen Qiu looked at the two girls in front wearing wedding dresses to a music festival, not knowing how to respond.

"So you mean, you think Ding Qiao..."

"Of course, I'm not saying Ding Qiao is a bad girl!"

Upon hearing Chen Qiu's words, Feng Ye quickly tried to make amends.

"As for Ding Qiao, she handles affairs a bit differently from normal people, and she likes to have fun a bit more, but she's still a good girl!"

Even though she has tattoos, goes to nightclubs, drinks, and smokes, she's still a good girl?

"I understand, brother!"

"Blind dates, you know, you always have to get in touch first to see if you're suitable for each other."

Hearing Chen Qiu's words, Feng Ye immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If Liu Yue found out he had been bad-mouthing her best friend in front of her best friend's blind date, she would definitely lose her temper at him!

...

In the queue to enter.

Liu Yue looked back at Chen Qiu, who was talking to her fiancé, and leaned into Ding Qiao's ear, saying with a hint of excitement.

"Qiao Qiao, this blind date of yours is quite handsome!"

"I think he's not even worse than Brennan!"

Ding Qiao, upon hearing this, just sneered.

"Him?"

"Does he even deserve to be compared to Brennan?"

"Chinese men are all just good-looking but useless!"

As Ding Qiao said this, she shot a side-glance at Liu Yue and urged.

"What, are you interested?"

"Why not take advantage of the fact that you're not married yet and go test his quality?"

"I don't mind, anyway."

Liu Yue was slightly tempted, but immediately shook her head.

"Let's forget it while we're in the country."

"However, even though it was arranged by your stepmother, I think his temperament is really good. Didn't you say his family is also very powerful?"

"Qiao Qiao, are you really not going to consider it?"

As Ding Qiao's best friend, Liu Yue naturally knew what the latter was thinking.

From the very beginning, Ding Qiao had never intended to have a normal blind date with him.

Otherwise, why would she have set it at a music festival?

"We'll see!"

"If he can accept my conditions, then it's not impossible to consider!"

Liu Yue, upon hearing this, immediately responded.

"Maybe, I think there are quite a lot of fools like Feng Ye in the country!"

"Taking a step back, if—I mean if—Qiao Qiao, don't get mad."

"If your biological dad really stops giving you money in the future, you'll still need to find someone to support you!"

"Qiao Qiao, we still need to find a backup plan in advance."

Hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed across Ding Qiao's eyes.

...

The group of four, after a long wait in line, finally entered the venue.

Music festival tickets are generally standing room only; there is no distinction between front and back seats.

So, if you want to stand in the front row, you either have to push your way through or occupy a spot early.

The time the four of them entered was already quite late, and the venue was already packed with people.

Looking at it, it was just a sea of heads!

Ding Qiao and Liu Yue, who were only 158 cm and 161 cm tall, felt quite uncomfortable.

Even on tiptoes, they could only see the back of other people's heads!

"It's all your fault for insisting on taking engagement photos today!"

"Otherwise, we could have come earlier to line up!"

Liu Yue said to Feng Ye with a displeased face.

The latter could only smile awkwardly.

Chen Qiu, at 1.8 meters tall, was doing fine.

Although his view wasn't particularly wide, it wasn't so bad that he could only see the back of other people's heads.

However, the experience of watching from the very back was indeed a bit poor.

Chen Qiu wasn't the type to suffer unnecessarily.

After all, he was the president of two companies: Qingmang Era and Cultural Industry Group.

In this kind of situation, it was no problem to exercise a little bit of power.

"Follow me."

He waved to the group, and then, amidst the astonished gazes of the three, after a brief communication with a nearby staff member,

someone came over and greeted Chen Qiu respectfully, and the four of them walked directly through a special passage to the front row!

"Holy crap, brother, how did you do that?"

"I have some shares in the entertainment company, so I count as an insider."

"Awesome!"

Feng Ye looked at Chen Qiu with new respect.

Liu Yue and Ding Qiao also looked at Chen Qiu in shock.

"Handsome, why didn't you say so earlier?!"

"Which company did you buy shares in?"

Liu Yue asked with great interest.

However, before Chen Qiu could respond,

the warm-up artist appeared on stage.

Liu Yue and Ding Qiao let out piercing screams before they could even react!

"Ahhh! It's Taotao husband! Husband is so handsome!"

Screaming, Liu Yue also took out her phone and started recording.

"Family, who gets it? I saw my real husband up close on my engagement day!"
