Ji Muran hesitated only briefly before taking the menu.
After they ordered, the waiter walked away. Only then did Ji Muran continue, "Mr. Shen, you can speak now."
Shen Wenzhou looked intensely at Ji Muran, making her feel a little embarrassed under his gaze, but she didn't know what to say.
After a brief silence, Shen Wenzhou spoke, "Miss Ji, can I ask you to pretend to be my girlfriend?"
"Ah?" Ji Muran frowned and looked at the man opposite her in shock, seriously doubting if she was hearing things.
Seeing her shocked expression, Shen Wenzhou continued, "I don't want to go on blind dates, but I also don't want to upset my mother, so I want to ask Miss Ji to pretend to be my girlfriend. That way, my mother won't arrange any more dates for me."
Ji Muran frowned, "But deceiving Auntie like this is not right, is it?"
"Maybe you can think about it differently," Shen Wenzhou said calmly.
