Chapter 171 A Thirty-Year-Old Man

Song Jin: Zhao Zhao, your brother is so handsome (drooling) @Zhao Zhao

Tian Ya: Professor Zhou is also good-looking. Your uncle's good looks are definitely well-deserved.

Ji Wanmiao: I envy Zhao Zhao. She gets to see handsome men every day. Her whole family is pleasing to the eye.

Song Jin: When will I be able to have a good-looking family? (sighs)

Tian Ya: Maybe in the next life.

Ji Wanmiao: Maybe anything can happen in a dream (pats head).

Song Jin: May I ask if your brother has a girlfriend?

A post about the most handsome guy at Nan'an University went viral on the forum, but no information about Dan Si's background or romantic history could be found.

Even if someone knew he was the nephew of the person in charge of the Dan Group, no one dared to reveal it on the forum, since no one knew if it would cause trouble.

Compared to his former reputation as a school bully at Nan'an Middle School, Dan Si has become increasingly low-key and reserved in university, and naturally he is no longer as famous as before.

Zhao Zhao: He already has a girl he likes, you have no chance (laughs and cries).

Song Jin: Well, another man who can't have me. Why are all the handsome guys already taken?

Tian Ya: You're just being sarcastic. It's clearly you who doesn't want to find someone.

She has no shortage of male suitors.

Gu Ji agreed with Tian Ya's statement. Song Jin was excellent in every way, but she always just drooled over handsome men without ever actively pursuing them.

Just admire their beauty, not their bodies; feast your eyes and indulge your taste buds.

Song Jin: How presumptuous of you! You're exposing my shortcomings, @Tian Ya.

Gu Ji watched them argue in the group chat with a smile while sipping his milk tea, and before he knew it, he had arrived at Danyuan.

"Aunt, you're back!" Gu Ji spotted Jing Rou drinking tea in the garden.

Jing Rou waved to her, signaling her to come over.

Gu Ji didn't see Jing Rou every time he came to Danyuan; she was probably not home ten times out of ten.

After spending more than two years together, their relationship grew closer and closer. Perhaps it was their shared love of food that drew them together, and they gradually went from being strangers to being like best friends.

Even Dan Si sighed that she was more like Jing Rou's daughter, never forgetting to bring gifts for her and Dan Shu when she returned home from missions. Dan Si had never received such good treatment before.

Only Gu Ji knew that this was Jing Rou's way of making up for Dan Si's absence during his growth. She used herself and Dan Shu as shields to bring gifts to Dan Si, showing her deep and subtle maternal love.

Dan Si outwardly disliked these incidental gifts, but still placed each one in the room.

The two have a reserved way of getting along; they are both aware of each other's affection, but they don't express it in a mushy way.

Jing Rou smiled and put down her tea, saying to Dan's mother, "Zhao Zhao has become even more beautiful since I last saw her in more than half a year."

"Anwen has raised Zhao Zhao to be more and more beautiful. I wonder which young man will be lucky enough to marry her in the future." Mother Dan smiled as she glanced at Gu Ji, who was walking towards them.

Jing Rou smiled and said, "I'm just worried that Zhao Zhao's boyfriend won't be able to get past her brother-in-law."

He spoils her to the core, and her future boyfriend will not be able to escape his test; it's hard to say whether he will pass it.

Danmu snorted coldly, "He dares to care whether Zhaozhao will have a boyfriend in the future? She's almost thirty and still a bachelor."

In Danmu's eyes, a 28-year-old man is automatically classified as 30.

The mother clearly dislikes the older, single man in her family.

She could accept finding a man of similar age now. She urged him to find a girlfriend not to carry on the Dan family line, but because she hoped he would have someone who cared for him.

A wife can accompany him for a lifetime, but parents can only accompany him for a part of his life.

She always felt sorry for the pressure and responsibility he carried, whether it was the company or the family. Every heavy burden was on his shoulders, and she was really afraid that one day he would be crushed by it.

Now that Zhao Zhao lives with him, the house feels more lively, and he's not as aloof and arrogant as before.

But Zhao Zhao will get married someday, so does that mean this old uncle will get married along with her?

She feared that he would end up alone for the rest of his life.

The thought of that scene made her feel extremely sad.

"Grandma, what are you talking about?" Gu Ji asked, placing her milk tea on the table after sitting down.

Jing Rou said, "We're talking about your Uncle Dan."

Gu Ji was about to ask about the content of the chat when he was scolded by Dan's mother, "Milk tea is full of additives, don't drink it next time."

Gu Ji stuck out her tongue; she had forgotten to hide the milk tea.

Danmu values ​​health and wellness and considers milk tea an unhealthy beverage.

"Grandma, I know, I definitely won't drink it next time." Gu Ji shook her mother's arm and acted coquettishly, her face full of affection.

The mother smiled and tapped her forehead, "You, you, if you keep using this to get away with things by acting cute, let's see who will spoil you like this in the future."

"Hehe, isn't that because Grandma and Uncle Dan are here?" Gu Ji said confidently.

Dan's mother shook her head with a smile, looking helpless. "You're just taking advantage of your Uncle Dan's doting on you, and you're becoming more and more lawless."

"Hehe." Gu Ji smiled with narrowed eyes, without refuting.

Jing Rou laughed from the side, "Zhao Zhao will definitely have a boyfriend to pamper her in the future. Mom, aren't you hoping that Shu Shu and Zhao Zhao will both find a good husband?"

Speaking of this, Dan's mother had another headache. "Shushu is about to graduate and still doesn't have a boyfriend. I hope she won't end up like Anwen."

Dan Shu: Who's talking about me?

Gu Ji felt relieved when she saw that Dan's mother had stopped talking about her and Dan's uncle.

As a result, Dan's mother and Jing Rou ended up talking about her again.

Danmu said earnestly, "Zhaozhao, you can't be like your Uncle Dan. You're still single after graduation. You have to meet people of different ages to find the right person."

Danmu is very open-minded about this. She believes that romance is a diversion on the path of learning, otherwise, what's the point of going to university?

Love doesn't necessarily have to have a result; enjoying the journey of love is the most important thing.

"I know, I'll definitely find a boyfriend." Gu Ji's eyes darted away slightly as he answered awkwardly.

She's now a little afraid that Dan's mother will find out she's dating Dan's uncle; she always feels that her mother will be very angry.

Concealing her relationship is one aspect, but another is that she may not accept the transformation from granddaughter to daughter-in-law.

Danmu didn't notice Gu Ji's evasive gaze, but it didn't escape Jing Rou's keen eyes.

However, she didn't say it out loud. She knew that Zhao Zhao was definitely hiding something, but everyone has secrets.

After chatting for a short while, Dan Shu came out of the villa.

"Grandma, Auntie, Zhao Zhao can come and have dinner now."

"Here you are." Gu Ji immediately got up and fled from Dan's mother and Jing Rou, clearly not wanting to hear the two of them pressuring Dan Anwen to get married to thin air anymore.

"What are you having for dinner today, cousin?" Gu Ji asked, linking arms with Dan Shu.

Dan Shu smiled and said, "I don't know either. Grandpa is cooking tonight."

"There must be braised prawns in oil. I can already smell it." Gu Ji discovered that Dan's father was better at making braised prawns in oil than Dan's mother.

"Your little nose is quite sharp." As soon as he entered the living room, his father overheard him and teased him with a smile.

Gu Ji smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm amazing, aren't I?"

"Impressive, impressive." Mr. Dan said, placing the braised prawns in front of the spot where Dan Anwen usually sat.

If you put it in the girl's spot, the man will eventually move it anyway. It's easier to just put it in his spot than to peel the shrimp for her yourself.
