He hadn't yet met Zhao Xiangjun when his parents told him to meet the blind date Aunt Wang had arranged.
Although his relationship with Zhao Xiangjun hadn't been officially declared, it was already a de facto reality, so he obviously couldn't go on another blind date!
When he returned to his apartment that evening, he called his mom. Mother Chen was overjoyed to hear that Chen Xiao had a girlfriend, but she still wanted him to meet the person—not as a blind date, but more like a casual meeting between friends, as a courtesy to Aunt Wang.
He was upfront with Zhao Xiangjun and explained the whole situation. He felt they shouldn't deliberately keep secrets from each other. If he didn't tell her and she found out one day, it would be terrible if it led to a misunderstanding.
He knew Zhao Xiangjun. She seemed easygoing about everything, but once she decided to dig in her heels, not even ten bulls could move her.
