Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When he arrived at the Shen family, Chi Lingyan had a rough idea of what was going on, and his face was a bit gloomy. Hearing Mother Shen’s words, he said indifferently, “Madam Shen, my daughter just entered university this year. There’s no rush for her to get married!”
Commissar Shen also felt that this little girl was too young. She hadn’t even reached the legal age for marriage, so he reminded Mother Shen not to be too hasty. He looked at Chi Lingyan’s unsightly face. Commissar Shen actually didn’t want to do this kind of thing. This was no different from using authority to force someone to come over. However, Mother Shen was used to being overbearing, so Commissar Shen had no choice but to invite them to sit.
Chi Shuyan thanked him politely. Commissar Shen increasingly felt that Chi Lingyan, this young man, had taught his daughter well!
Commissar Shen really liked and admired Chi Lingyan. It was a pity that his daughter hadn’t met him earlier. Otherwise, the two would have been a match made in heaven. Commissar Shen could understand why Chi Lingyan turned down Shen Rongyin for his daughter’s sake.
Commissar Shen pondered as he observed Chi Lingyan’s daughter. He couldn’t help but feel that this child was really good, and it had less to do with her looks than her temperament. She had such an outstanding appearance at such a young age; she would be amazing once she was a few years older!
He thought his daughter, Rongyin, was already very good-looking, but this girl was even better!
Commissar Shen couldn’t help but ask what university Chi Lingyan’s daughter was at.
Chi Lingyan said proudly, “Yanjing University!”
Sure enough, Commissar Shen had a new level of respect for him and praised, “It seems that this child is really awesome! Lingyan, you taught your daughter well!”
Chi Lingyan’s face improved a bit. He was indeed proud of his daughter, but he was someone who was low-key, so he was still modest.
Chi Shuyan sat obediently on the side and didn’t say anything. She listened to her father talk to Commissar Shen. Occasionally, she would see her father’s proud expression, and Chi Shuyan would smile a little.
As long as her father was happy!
Commissar Shen looked at the quiet appearance of Chi Lingyan’s daughter. There was no impetuousness in her eyes at all, and he admired this child more and more. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was still young, he really would have played matchmaker for her.
At that moment, Mother Shen was a little anxious when she saw that Father Shen hadn’t brought up the matter of Rongyin’s feelings.
Speaking of which, Mother Shen felt that her daughter was the only one in the world who could look down on others while no one could look down on her. At the thought that her daughter liked this man, but he had turned her down, Mother Shen wasn’t happy.
No matter how good the man was and how good-looking his daughter was, Mother Shen couldn’t like him.
But today was about matchmaking them, not breaking them up. Thinking of how her daughter liked this person, Mother Shen still pulled out 120% of her enthusiasm to entertain the father and daughter. She nodded with a smile. “This child is indeed still young. No rush, no rus.h.!.+”
After a pause, Mother Shen’s gaze fell on Chi Lingyan again, and she said, “Captain Chi, your daughter is still young, but you’re not, right? How difficult is it to raise a child alone? It won’t do for the child to not have a mother! If you trust my judgment, how about I set you up? I won’t beat around the bush. Captain Chi, what do you think of our Rongyin?”
Mother Shen didn’t ask Chi Lingyan directly, but directly asked his daughter next to him, “Good child, it isn’t easy for your father to raise and support you on his own.. Your father isn’t young anymore, and can’t toil his life away for his child. What do you think of me as a matchmaker for your father?”
