Chapter 93 The Officer Uncle Makes His Appearance, Aunt Cuiping is Extremely Popular

Cuiping was completely dumbfounded, "You... ...?"

They arranged so many military officers to set her up on blind dates. What did she do to deserve them? She was completely unworthy.

Zhizhi stepped forward and took Aunt Cuiping's hand, her childish voice tinged with mischief, "Auntie, you deserve the best. This is Uncle Yuan's way of showing you kindness, so take a good look and see what kind you like~"

Compared to the quality of Chen Laowu's group of blind dates, the attitude of these two rows of soldiers standing straight was much better.

Two of them actually had their eyes light up when they saw Cuiping.

Everyone eagerly introduced themselves.

Grandma Li's courtyard was bustling with activity. Chen Laowu, who was sitting in the living room, couldn't sit still any longer. He frowned and looked at Grandma Li, his eyes filled with a hint of reproach.

"What's going on here? Didn't we agree to come here for blind dates? Why have you brought a whole bunch of young men? Grandma Li, are you really trying to find us partners?"

Grandma Li was also bewildered; she had no idea what Zhizhi was up to.

However, upon hearing Chen Laowu's tone, her face immediately fell. "Chen Laowu, blind dates are about mutual consent. Even if there are stronger competitors, you don't need to be so angry, do you?"

Of course, she hoped that Cuiping could find someone better.

I had a good impression of Chen Laowu just now. I thought he was reliable, capable, eloquent, and good at handling things.

Why does his tone sound like he was faking it all before?

Chen Laowu realized he had given himself away, so he took a deep breath and forced a smile to explain, "No... that's not what I meant. I'm just worried that after seeing all these soldiers, Cuiping won't even look at me anymore. After all, it's not easy for me to find a wife after my second marriage and with a child."

His mother complained endlessly about taking care of his child, saying that if he didn't hurry up and marry a woman...

The house is so messy, who's going to do his laundry and cook for him?

Who can let him live a life of ease where he has everything done for him?

Chen Laowu's eyes darted around for a moment, then he stood up and walked outside, forcing a smile as he separated Cuiping from one of the officers who was chatting with her.

"Cuiping, Cuiping... I have to go back to the supply and marketing cooperative in a bit, would you like to come for a walk with me?"

Chen Laowu pretended to be very close to Cuiping, and even ignored the smell of pig on his body when he spoke, forcing himself to get closer to her.

Cuiping quietly took two steps back; the people who had come to chat earlier were all much younger than her.

These officers are far too good for her; she's not good enough for them.

She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.

"You need to go to work, go ahead, I..."

Cuiping originally wanted to say that she wouldn't go and join in the fun.

But to everyone's surprise, Chen Laowu didn't give her a chance to refuse. He stepped forward and took her hand, saying, "Okay, let's go then!"

Cuiping was very uncomfortable with this action, and she tried hard to pull her hand away.

But Chen Laowu had a smile on his face and his attitude was so enthusiastic and proactive that it was unbelievable, leaving her no room to refuse.

Cuiping glanced around at the young men staring at her. She was shy and uncomfortable with their gazes.

So he decided to go out with Chen Laowu first, and then find a secluded place to talk things out with Chen Laowu.

"Huh?" The little girl panicked when she saw that Aunt Cuiping was really going to leave with Uncle Pork. "Auntie, why don't you stay and look at each other some more?"

If Aunt Cuiping is gone, wouldn't her plan have ended in failure?

That won't do!

Chen Laowu grinned smugly, "Your Aunt Cuiping wants to go for a walk with me. The little guy doesn't understand adult matters, so he shouldn't get involved."

Upon hearing these words, Cuiping's beautiful eyes furrowed slightly.

She felt that Chen Laowu's attitude towards the children was somewhat strange, but if she really had to find fault with it, she couldn't quite put her finger on what the problem was.

It feels like you can't hit someone who's smiling, but Chen Laowu always puts on a friendly, smiling face, but in reality, he doesn't seem to have a good temper at all.

Cuiping quietly shook her head at the cub, "I'm going to see Uncle Chen off. I'll be back in a bit, Zhizhi, be good."

After saying that, she followed Chen Laowu outside.

As Cuiping exited the military dependents' compound, she spotted a familiar figure flashing past the entrance from afar.

Huh? Zhengyang?

Isn't he at work at this time? What is he going to do?

Cuiping's thoughts drifted away, completely unaware that Chen Laowu's hand had already touched her shoulder.

When his hands became increasingly inappropriate, Cuiping finally came to her senses and screamed as she hid to the side.

"What are you doing?"

Startled by her shout, Chen Laowu looked left and right and noticed that passersby were looking in his direction. He felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Cuiping, I've taken a liking to you. Didn't you already agree to come out with me? So when are we going to get down to business?"

"What do you need me to do?"

Cuiping didn't immediately grasp the meaning behind his words.

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing this, Chen Laowu immediately grinned and tried to grab her hand, saying, "Of course it's about marriage."

"You've misunderstood, you've really misunderstood!" Cuiping retreated repeatedly, the word "resistance" almost etched on her face.

She swallowed hard and nervously explained, "I only agreed to come out with you because I couldn't refuse you and didn't want to embarrass you in front of others. Comrade Chen, you're a very nice person, but we're not a good match. I don't want to waste your time, so it's better if we make things clear as soon as possible."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Chen Laowu's anger flared up.

His first instinct was to ask, "Then why did she come out with me?"

Why did you call me here?

But when he remembered Grandma Li's tone of voice when she was scolding him, he forced himself to suppress his anger.

He forced a smile. "Why? I think we're a good match. If you're willing to be with me, at least you'll have a place to live, right? The matchmaker told me that you're eager to go on blind dates because you want to stay in the city. Do you look down on me because I have a son? Don't worry, my mom will take care of him. You don't need to do anything. You just need to do the laundry after work. I'll take care of the money. After all, I'll be your man in the future."

Cuiping looked at Chen Laowu, whose words sounded so pleasing and showed such a sense of responsibility.

But for some reason, she felt a certain aversion to it.

She gave a sad smile, lowered her head, and silently kept her decision, "Let's just forget about it."

Perhaps I'm overthinking it, or perhaps Chen Laowu really is a good man.

But she was very resistant to Chen Laowu.

In the moment she lowered her head, she didn't see the ferocity in Chen Laowu's eyes.

Chen Laowu stared at her silently, his eyes gradually filling with impatience.

He took a deep breath and smiled casually, saying, "It's okay. Even if we can't be lovers, we can still be friends. In the future, we can come out and wander around whenever we have free time. Look how beautiful the scenery is here."

When Cuiping heard him say that, she looked up helplessly.

Her eyes were full of surprise. Chen Laowu was not angry at all, and was even so considerate.

Was I too hurtful just now?

Cuiping quickly took out five yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into his hand. "It's okay to be friends. Here's the money for the pork you brought today."

"No, no need."

"No, you still have to pay. We can't let you put your money in for nothing. You don't earn money easily either."

Cuiping smiled, her lips pursed, her clean face radiating tranquility.

Chen Laowu squinted at her, his mind becoming even more active.

Such a virtuous and beautiful young woman, and she even gave me so much money right away, tsk, if I could marry her...

He really made a killing.

Chen Laowu pretended to be polite and unable to refuse, so he had no choice but to stuff the money into his pocket.

"Okay, okay, but next time I'm nice to you, you can't refuse, okay? We're like family."
