I’d read a ton of comments. Every single one said he was devoted, exclusive, and a rich, handsome man. They even said he had no bad habits and was single only because he was dedicated to his work. They’d even detailed his family background—more accurate than any background check.
He just paused, then immediately responded, “I haven’t introduced myself yet.”
I nodded. “I just feel a strong connection with you.” What more could I ask for in such a perfect man?
【LOL, what ‘connection’? She’s just impressed by his looks, right?】
【Why couldn’t it be that she’s also afraid of an arranged marriage with the male lead? I don’t think the female side character is as bad as you all say.】
【The female lead is about to appear. Let’s see how she can compete.】
I listened carefully as he introduced himself, then hastily introduced myself. I stood up and invited him, “If you’re still free tonight, why don’t we go for a walk? It’s better than us both sitting here awkwardly.”
If I couldn’t beat it, I could at least avoid it. I had to create more opportunities for myself. Isn’t that how people reach the pinnacle of their lives? He had no objection and followed me out of the coffee shop.
As we walked along the lakeside promenade, I asked him, “With your background, why are you on a dating site? Don’t your family arrange suitable matches for you?” I was practically asking why he wasn’t in an arranged marriage. In truth, my family’s circumstances were far inferior to his.
He nodded. “I’m a person who goes by feeling. For someone I’ll spend my life with, I hope it’s someone I genuinely like. As for circumstances… I don’t think those are the main point.”
【Exactly! That’s why when the female lead caught his eye, he had no one else in his sight.】
【His love for the female lead is undeniable, and his ending makes me sob uncontrollably.】
I looked at the stray cat that suddenly appeared at my feet. I pulled out a portable pouch of cat food from my pocket.
“You carry that with you?”
I thought he meant the cat food, and immediately explained, “Yes, feeding stray cats wet treats isn’t ideal; they can get oral inflammation. My pouches double as bowls, which are more convenient and don’t harm the environment.”
He smiled. “Do you also have cats?”
“Four cats and a dog. You’ll get to meet them if there’s a chance.”
【The female side character is so cunning, she’s trying to establish a caring image for herself, but the male supporting character likes that ‘feeling.’】
【Does she think taking the male supporting character away and preventing him from meeting the female lead will work? They’re destined to meet. She’ll regret it.】
Who knows what the future holds… Before I even finished that thought, I knew the comments were right. At that moment, the female lead, Anna McCarthy, appeared. She ran past us, shouting, “Stop, thief!” Behind her, a crying old lady slapped her thigh. The kind female lead quickly ran out of breath.
Now, it was my turn to show what I could do. The comments had only praised my face, no one mentioned my strong limbs. I quickly charged forward. Just as I was about to grab the thief, I saw the comments.
【This female side character is so stupid, a woman daring to charge. The thief has a knife.】
