Mrs. Jin leaned against the door to watch the two of them leave. She then turned and said to her husband, “Hubby, I think they’re a good match. This Ji Yu is really dashing, and he’s a military officer too. Such a responsible man like him will definitely give Xiaoning a sense of responsibility. Splendid.”

“I think they’re a great match too, they’re both good-looking individuals.”

“...”

Neither of them said a word to each other while walking.

“How old are you?” Ji Yu broke the silence.

An Xiaoning slowed down and answered, “Thirty.”

“I’m two years older than you. You look so much prettier in real life than you do in those photos online,” he said, smiling at An Xiaoning.

“Thank you, you’re very handsome too. You didn’t expect my Father to invite you home for a matchmaking session, did you?” An Xiaoning asked as she took a seat on a bench.

“You didn’t expect it either, right?”

She smiled and said, “Tell me the truth, did you feel like leaving immediately when you first found out that I was your blind date?”

“Why would I feel that way?” he asked, his voice sounding crisp and clear. He then sat down beside her.

“I’m divorced thrice and I have a son.”

“I know, but so what?”

An Xiaoning was taken aback by his answer.

“How many siblings do you have, Mr. Ji?”

“Two. I have an elder brother. He’s already married and has children. You don’t look like you’re thirty years old at all,” he said, staring at her face.

“How old do I look then?”

“Twenty.”

An Xiaoning was filled with joy upon hearing his answer. “Any thirty-year-old woman would be pleased to hear that answer.”

“I mean it. This is my first time meeting you, and I have a great impression of you. What do you think about me?” he asked, staring at her calmly.

An Xiaoning did not avoid his question and instead answered, “I feel good about you too. To be honest, I didn’t expect to come home to a matchmaking session. I’ve already divorced thrice and I have a child too. Besides...”

She paused and pursed her lips before continuing, “I might not be able to conceive anymore in the future.”

An Xiaoning felt that no man would be interested in her, given her current predicament, unless they were a fool. Not to mention, Ji Yu was a promising bachelor who was too good for her. Thus, she felt that there was no chance of a budding romance between them.

In fact, she decided to come clean with him precisely because she wanted him to tell her godparents himself that he wasn’t interested in a relationship with her.

After all, her godparents had good intentions; thus, it would be more appropriate for him to break the news to them.

Ji Yu was utterly shocked by her words.

“Are you unable to conceive or are you infertile?”

“I can’t hold a pregnancy, but there doesn’t seem to be a problem with my fertility,” An Xiaoning answered truthfully.

He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Medical technology is so advanced nowadays. If you can’t give birth, we can always look for a surrogate mother.”

“...”

Greatly taken aback by his words, An Xiaoning was at a sudden loss for words.

“I’ve been spending most of my time in the military and only had one girlfriend in the past. But who doesn’t have a past? We ought to just let bygones be bygones. After all, those things happened before we met each other. Ms. An, you seem to have no plans of getting married again. Am I right?”

An Xiaoning nodded and said, “I indeed don’t plan on getting married.”

“Ms. An, have you lost all faith in men?”

Placing her hands on her lap, An Xiaoning answered after a moment of silence, “I haven’t lost the ability to love, and I still do carry hopes for finding true love.”

He had never felt such a strong urge to protect a woman like this before.

“That’s great. Although they always say that the point of matchmaking is marriage, adults still have the freedom and right to choose how they want the relationship to go,” he said with a smile.

“Would you be able to accept it if your other half doesn’t wish to get married for the rest of her life?”

“I would be willing to if you were my other half. I like being frank and straightforward. I always speak what’s on my mind, and I never force myself to say things I don’t mean. I mean every word I say from the bottom of my heart,” he said, smiling with his teeth showing.

“I believe you. I believe that everything you said is true. I’m willing to give myself a fresh start in life too,” she said, appearing much more relaxed.

He was two years older than her, a military Major, handsome and suave and was never married. He could even accept the fact that she was thrice-divorced with a child and could not conceive.

He was the prospective marriage partner whom her godparents had carefully selected for her.

They probably hid it from her beforehand because they were afraid that she would object to a matchmaking session.

However, there seemed to be no reason for her to turn it down.

Life had to go on anyway.

She would one day forget the person residing in her heart now.

Even if it takes years.

She would forever be unable to explain what exactly led to their divorce.

Even though he was not dating the girl she saw him with last week, he would one day get into a relationship with another woman. It was only a matter of time.

Because he had already chosen to believe that she had been unfaithful and, as he said, he did not want to see her again.

He probably wouldn’t have wanted to see me if it weren’t for the fact that he had something to discuss with me tonight , she thought to herself.

Ji Yu broke into smiles upon hearing her answer. An Xiaoning held his gaze, feeling a slight ripple in her heart.

The warm rays of the sun cast down on them in the cool winter.

As their conversation proceeded, An Xiaoning began to find that he was a decisive man who had his own ideas and thoughts.

Hours passed by before they even realized it. Thus, they decided to stay behind for dinner at the Jin family mansion.

When Madam Jin asked about how they felt toward each other during dinner, both of them complimented one another unanimously while laughing merrily.

Madam Jin was pleased to see how well they got along with each other.

After dinner, she even pulled An Xiaoning to her room to have a chat with her privately.

“Xiaoning, so what do you think of him?”

“Mother, I can tell that he’s very outstanding.”

“That goes without saying. How could your father and I not pick an outstanding man for you? Xiaoning, listen to me, you must grasp and seize the opportunity while you can, for such a great catch won’t come by again. I can tell that he fancies you too. Do keep in touch with him in private and interact more often. Have you exchanged numbers yet?”

An Xiaoning nodded and said, “Yes, we have. But we’re planning to start off as friends first. After all, we’ve just met, and there’s still a lot that we don’t know about each other.”

“Can’t you get to know each other better while you’re dating?”

Clearly, Madam Jin wanted An Xiaoning to hurry and grab the opportunity to be in a relationship with Ji Yu. An Xiaoning burst into laughter and said, “Mother, I’ve already given both of us a chance. We’ll see how he performs.”

Aware that she was a sensible person who knows what she’s doing, Madam Jin agreed, “Alright, it’s also good that you get to know each other better first. We’ll decide in the future whether or not you’re suitable for each other.”

“Mother, don’t think that I’m not jumping into it because I’m afraid that I would regret it. I’m also fearful that he’ll regret his decision,” said An Xiaoning, chuckling.

“You silly child...”
