Chapter 490

When Daniel sat down, he looked up to see Zoe sitting not far away from him. And a man was sitting opposite her.

He didn't know what they were talking about, but Zoe was smiling happily.

Leanna watched the scene unfold but pretended not to notice. She coughed and tugged on Daniel's shirt to get his attention. "Let's order some food."

Although he kept his eyes on the couple, he still casually replied, "You should order. I'll eat anything."

It was her first time dining at this restaurant as well, so she asked the waiter for recommendations.

She turned to look at Daniel after ordering, only to find him still looking at the couple with a frown. His hands were clenching a glass of water.

Seeing this, Leanna raised an eyebrow curiously as she slowly sipped her drink.

It was only when the waiter came back to serve the appetizers did Daniel finally look away. "She… Whom is she eating with?"

Leanna slowly put down her glass and said softly, "I think it's a blind date that our family set up for her. I've heard good things about him; he's a very down-to-earth man who works at a state-owned enterprise. Seeing how well they're getting along now, it won't be long until we hear the wedding bells ring. I think we'd give them a year."

"That soon?"

Leanna's tone became serious as she explained, "You have no idea how our family works. As long as both sides of the family agree on this blind date and the two people hit it off, they will be forced to get married in a flash. I was just being generous when I said a year. They'll probably be married in two to three months."

Hearing this, Daniel frowned harder. "Don't they want to get to know each other better first? I think it's too hasty to be marrying someone like this."

"It's our two families that set them up. They would know more about each other than normal people. If they get along well, don't you think that two to three months is enough?"

Daniel pursed his lips but said nothing.

After a while, he asked, "Does she really want to get married?"

Leanna said, "She doesn't really mind, but her parents are in a hurry to marry her off. Matchmaking depends on fate too. I think they're quite suitable for each other, so it'll be great for them to marry."
