"You don’t need to be nervous, we’re just here to chat with you today. Sitting idle at home gets boring, and we’ve heard Counselor Xia is quite the thinker. We thought we’d come to hear some of your valuable insights and perhaps get some guidance out of our confusion,"
Mrs. Huo’s smile was graceful and elegant, without giving anything away.
Xia Qing tried to find a hint of provocation in her eyes, but there was none—there even seemed to be a bit of sincerity.
"Mrs. Huo jests. I’m no hermit with great wisdom—how could I possibly offer anyone guidance?" Xia Qing said rather embarrassedly.
"Counselor Xia is already of a certain age, and I hear you haven’t married yet. Xia Shi at least calls me ’Mother Huo’, so shouldn’t I inquire about your lifelong happiness? What kind of person do you like? I could find someone suitable for you,"
Xia Qing knew the crux of the matter was coming.
"There’s no need. I’m not in a hurry to marry; I’m quite content being on my own,"
"Mom, what are you talking about? I heard that Counselor Xia even has a child, it’s just that no one knows who the father is," Ye Ranran added to Mrs. Huo’s words.
