"Dad doesn't actually know the answer to this question either. Not all people who seem compatible can be together, An'an."
Gu Tingxiao tucked Xiao Anman in and gently patted her.
Gu Tingxiao wasn't completely ignorant about romantic love, but for him, its existence or non-existence didn't matter much, especially now that he already had An'an.
It's not that An'an needs him, but that he needs An'an. With An'an here, he feels like he's at home.
"Daddy's explanation is so hard to understand."
Little Anman blinked, her little head still unable to process the complex words her father was saying. "Will Daddy see Aunt Shuangshuang again?"
"Probably, but maybe your Aunt Shuangshuang won't want to see me?"
Gu Tingxiao said nonchalantly.
"Aunt Shuangshuang likes poop."
Xiao Anman was very certain of this, because she saw Aunt Shuangshuang blush when her great-grandmother and Aunt Shuangshuang talked about poop in the car.
How did you know?
Gu Tingxiao was both amused and exasperated by the little guy who was wide awake and unwilling to go to sleep even though it was bedtime.
Anyway, Xiao An knew it. She remembered Aunt Shuangshuang blushing and was very certain of it.
But it's best not to tell Daddy this little secret.
On the way back, Great-Grandma also told An'an that she wanted to make sure that Daddy and Aunt Shuangshuang maintained something.
Oh, we need to keep a little bit of mystery, so that Daddy and Aunt Shuangshuang will be pleasantly surprised when they meet in the future.
"Goodnight, Daddy, I'm going to sleep now."
Xiao An, who avoided answering, planned to get away with being cute.
Gu Tingxiao could naturally see this, but he didn't say anything.
Okay, good night.
Leaning down to give Xiao Anman a goodnight kiss on the forehead, Gu Tingxiao turned off the room lights.
...
"Miss Song is quite talented, but our Li family is of a rather high social standing. I wonder if Miss Song has been able to cross such a high threshold?"
A man dressed in a suit but with obvious signs of male pattern baldness shouldn't have too high an opinion of himself.
Even with her excellent manners, Song Shuangyu, who was dragged along by her unscrupulous best friend to go on a blind date in her place, had a slight urge to throw her coffee in the face of the man opposite her.
However, Miss Song is Miss Song; she still has the ability to remain calm and composed.
Seeing such a beautiful woman listening to him so attentively, the balding man's sense of self-satisfaction increased even more.
"But I'm not a picky person. The most important thing about marriage is for two people to live together. After you marry me, you won't need to go out to work. You can just stay at home to take care of your parents, the children, and do the housework. It'll be very easy."
These days, there are all sorts of awful people, but it's rare for someone of Song Shuangyu's social standing to encounter such an utterly despicable scumbag.
"I didn't ask earlier, but I'd like to know, Mr. Li, what is your annual salary?"
Song Shuangyu stroked her coffee and asked.
"you!"
The Mediterranean man got agitated as soon as the topic of money came up.
"Girls shouldn't be too materialistic. We're all down-to-earth and won't let you suffer if you're with me."
However, because of Song Shuangyu's beauty, the Mediterranean man did not immediately get angry.
"Oh, so you mean, Mr. Li has taken a liking to me?"
“You’re a nice person, but you’re getting on in years, not eighteen or nineteen anymore. I think marriage is just about finding someone to spend your life with, and we’re a perfect match.”
How could I bear to let such a beautiful woman go?
While speaking, Mediterranean-looking man practically had his eyes glued to Song Shuangyu's collar.
Shameless!
Song Shuangyu finally lost her composure and splashed the warm coffee in front of her onto the Mediterranean man.
"I feel that Mr. Li and I are not suitable for each other."
"You crazy woman! What are you doing!"
Enraged, the Mediterranean man immediately raised his hand to hit Song Shuangyu.
"President Gu—"
The atmosphere in one corner of the restaurant suddenly became lively. Gu Tingxiao, who had just finished his meal, passed by and heard Song Shuangyu's voice.
I turned around and saw that it was indeed her.
