Married at First Sight Chapter 4514

Zhang Cheng sat down across from the couple.

He was thirty years old this year, one year older than Lan Ruoruo.

As the only son in his family, both his parents and grandparents were deeply concerned about his major life decisions and constantly urged him to get married.

He had been set up on numerous blind dates—almost every wealthy daughter in Yangcheng had been introduced to him at some point.

But work kept him extremely busy. As the sole heir to the family business, he had to shoulder all the responsibilities alone, leaving little time for romance.

Though he met many women through blind dates, it wasn’t that he didn’t find anyone he liked. Rather, he simply couldn’t spare the time to nurture a relationship. After going out once or twice, things would usually fizzle out.

He met Lan Ruoruo on a blind date three months ago.

Honestly, after so many dates, she was the one who impressed him the most. Not only were their family backgrounds well-matched, but she was also highly capable—exactly the kind of woman he needed in a wife.

Someone who could ease his burdens. He had no interest in delicate socialites who needed constant attention and reassurance.

He didn’t have the time or patience for that kind of relationship.

A strong and independent woman like Lan Ruoruo, who was still warm and gentle, suited him well. Both of them were busy on weekdays, so spending weekends together and nurturing a relationship at a steady pace was ideal.

“Auntie, is Ruoruo still upstairs?”

“Yes, she’s probably changing and putting on makeup. Please have a seat—I’ll go check on her and give her a little nudge.”

Lan’s mother was quite pleased with Zhang Cheng.

As long as her daughter was willing to marry someone, she wouldn’t object.

She had complete confidence in her daughter’s judgment. If a man could win her daughter’s approval, he must be a good man.

“Auntie, no need to rush Ruoruo. I can wait. The banquet isn’t starting any time soon anyway.”
The housekeeper poured Zhang Cheng a glass of warm water and brought out some freshly washed fruits along with a selection of delicate snacks.

After placing everything neatly on the coffee table, the housekeeper quietly withdrew.

Father Lan invited Zhang Cheng to help himself to the fruit.

Zhang Cheng thanked him and, without hesitation, picked up a piece with a small fork and took a bite.

“Zhang Cheng, since you and Ruoruo are attending the banquet together, please keep an eye on her. Don’t let her drink too much—she doesn’t handle alcohol well. If she gets drunk, she’ll…”

Start flirting with handsome men.

Lan’s mother felt too embarrassed to finish her sentence aloud.

Zhang Cheng replied gently, “Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll watch over her and make sure she doesn’t drink too much. But from what I’ve seen, Ruoruo can actually hold her liquor—most people can’t outdrink her.”

Having to attend social events frequently, Lan Ruoruo had long built up a strong tolerance for alcohol.

“No matter how good her tolerance is, she can still get drunk sometimes. So just keep an eye on her. If she drinks too much, take her home immediately.”

“I’ll arrange for a driver to take you both there later. Since everyone will be drinking, it’s safer to have someone else drive. Don’t drink and drive.”

Zhang Cheng nodded with a smile.

Then he asked curiously, “Auntie, what exactly happens when Ruoruo gets drunk?”

He genuinely wanted to know how bad her drinking habits were.

Lan’s mother responded, slightly embarrassed, “She has a pretty bad habit. When she’s drunk, she turns into a different person—starts rambling and talking nonsense. And she gets a little handsy, especially with good-looking men.”

She was worried that her daughter might get drunk and tease Zhang Cheng, which could leave a bad impression and scare him off.

That wouldn’t be good.
