Chapter 204 No One is Good Enough for His Daughter
Pei Yan disagreed: "Even if I really get that old, I have enough money to hire a nurse or nanny to take care of me. It won't be as miserable as you say."
In Pei Yan's eyes, there is basically nothing in this world that cannot be solved with money, except for his mother.
If so, add some more money.
"But Dad," Xiao Taozhi clutched the corner of Pei Yan's clothes, with a stern face, and said seriously:
"What if the caregiver or babysitter gets their eyes on your money and takes away your oxygen tank while you're bedridden? Even if you call for help, no one will answer you."
Pei Yan: “…”
Can't this little guy hope for something better?
He wondered, "Where did you hear this nonsense?"
It's already 2024 in StarCraft, why are there still people pulling out their employer's oxygen tank just to get paid?
Xiao Taozhi argued, "It's not a mess! This is a recent news story on TV!"
Pei Yan was speechless.
Why is social news so outrageous these days? Can't there be a little more positivity?
Pei Yan said helplessly, "But marriage is a complicated matter. It involves a lot of things. So there's no rush. It's not like I can just get married one day on a whim."
Little Taozhi scratched his head.
She suddenly remembered that her brother Ji Sui had told her last time that as long as two people liked each other, they could get married and stay together forever.
So subconsciously, she regarded marriage as a very simple thing.
Xiao Taozhi said as a matter of course: "Dad, find someone you like and who likes you too, then you can get married, right?"
The little guy's idea is so simple.
Everything was going smoothly, and she had no idea what Pei Yan was worried about.
"Your idea is too naive."
But considering that Taozhi is still a child, it is normal that she doesn't understand these things.
Pei Yan casually explained, "When two people are together, it's not just about whether they like each other or not. Beyond that, we also have to consider factors like their status and financial resources. It's like what people often say, 'a good match.' Do you understand?"
Standing at a height like his, even if he didn't even glance at her, women would still flock to him and say they loved him.
Love his money? Love his face? Or love his prominent status?
He doesn't care about that.
The so-called shallow love that arises from these materials is just for fun.
The marriage of people like him often becomes a hub of interests. It doesn't matter whether they love each other or not, interests are eternal.
However, he believed that as long as he was strong enough, he would not have to sacrifice his freedom in exchange for those insignificant benefits.
Little Taozhi looked confused: "Zhizhi doesn't understand."
Pei Yan touched Xiao Taozhi's head and said, "It's normal for a child like you not to understand adult matters."
"Then...when Zhizhi grows up, will she understand these things too?"
"Need not."
Pei Yan replied confidently: "You can marry whoever you want in the future. Even if you marry a poor beggar, I have a way to make the beggar rich."
However, no matter how outstanding or wealthy the other person was, Pei Yan still felt a little disgusted.
Who can be richer than him?
Pei Yan felt uncomfortable when he thought that Xiao Taozhi might live in a small villa smaller than his chicken coop.
He suddenly felt that, judging from their background alone, there seemed to be no one in the entire galaxy who could be worthy of his little one!
"If you never marry, that would be the best. The money I earn is enough for you to squander for more than ten lifetimes. You can live in a castle forever and never have to go to some remote little place and suffer grievances."
The two were walking on the busy street.
Suddenly.
A huge poster in front of her caught little Taozhi's attention. She pointed at the men and women on the poster with her little finger and asked, "Daddy, what is this?"
Pei Yan raised his eyes: "If you are not sincere, please do not come."
Afraid that Xiao Taozhi didn't understand, Pei Yan explained, "It's a variety show where a group of single men and women go on blind dates."
Next to it is the studio, and audiences are entering one after another.
"Blind date...show?"
She had watched such a program with Grandma Gao before, and there were many beautiful young ladies in it!
Xiao Taozhi's obsidian-like deer eyes suddenly lit up, "Dad, why don't you try it too!"
"I?!"
Pei Yan said in disbelief: "Going to a dating show? Are you kidding?"
"Zhizhi wasn't joking."
Xiao Taozhi said seriously, "Daddy, you don't have anyone you like, so why don't we go and have a look? Who knows, maybe you'll run into some fairy lady and fall in love with her?"
Pei Yan corrected him, "It's not 'at the center of the arrow', it's 'love at first sight'. Did your PE teacher teach you this idiom?"
"Oh, that's what I mean anyway! As long as Dad understands, it's easy to deal with."
Little Taozhi pouted and said, "Daddy, are you afraid that after you go on stage, the girls on stage won't like you, so you don't dare to go?"
"joke!"
Pei Yan suddenly became narcissistic: "Just based on your father's charisma, the moment I step on stage, all twenty-four lights will definitely go off!"
"What dad says doesn't count. What if he's just bragging?"
As they were talking, Pei Yan had already been pulled to the registration office for If You Are the One by Xiao Taozhi.
Just as he was about to go in, Pei Yan suddenly stopped.
He crossed his arms, looking as if he understood everything. "Were you just trying to goad me? Trick me into going on a blind date, huh?"
"No~"
Little Taozhi blinked sincerely: "Zhizhi is just taking Dad to find your destiny."
Damn it!
Pei Yan curled his lips coldly, smiling wantonly and arrogantly.
If he can't see through the little guy's little tricks, then he has been in the business world for so long in vain!
"But if you want me to participate in the show, that's fine, but..."
Pei Yan dragged out his words, pausing slightly, deliberately keeping the audience in suspense.
The little guy was anxious: "But what? Daddy, tell me!"
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows, a sly glint flashing in his charming peach blossom eyes: "But I have a condition. If I succeed in holding hands with someone on this show, then you have to help me persuade grandma not to arrange blind dates for me anymore!"
Xiao Taozhi thought about it carefully.
If Dad participates in this show and successfully holds someone's hand, then wouldn't he have found someone he likes? If he has found someone he likes, then Grandma won't have to send Dad on blind dates anymore!
Thinking of this, Xiao Taozhi happily agreed and stretched out his little finger: "Make a pinky promise!"
Pei Yan was amused by her childish behavior.
However, the man still cooperated and hooked his slender little finger on the girl's white and tender fingers.
There was a doting smile in his tone: "Okay, pinky promise."
