Chapter 8 - 008: Is it convenient to take me with you?
「In the restaurant.」
Ning Guiwan hadn’t expected the elder to bring this up. After a pause, she smiled slowly. "No rush."
"You have to marry someone eventually," declared Elder Mrs. Quan. "No matter how your dad treats you, staying in that family home surely isn’t comfortable. Finding someone suitable to be with is also about giving yourself a new environment."
"Your Uncle Yu has a cousin on his mother’s side who, when idle, loves to matchmake. I’ll invite her over tomorrow at noon, and you should also come. Whatever requirements you have, bring them up to her."
Ning Guiwan felt somewhat helpless after hearing this. She knew the elder meant well, but... "I have no plans in that regard for the time being."
After a moment, she added, "I won’t have any for the next few years either. Grandma Quan, you needn’t trouble yourself for me."
"Listen to you! Do you want to remain an old maid?" For Elder Mrs. Quan, at her age, marriage was more important than anything else. "Your maternal grandmother and your mother are both gone; I can’t let you have your way in this matter."
"Sir, you’re back? Why don’t you come in? The Old Madam is having dinner with Miss Ning; your timing is perfect." A servant’s voice came from outside the restaurant, but before she could finish speaking, Quan Yu had already entered.
Ning Guiwan looked over at him. Quan Yu was dressed more formally today; a wheat-ear lapel pin was inserted at the notch of his navy-blue suit—exquisite and unique, perfectly accentuating his elegant, mature demeanor.
"Why didn’t you say you were coming back earlier?" Elder Mrs. Quan frowned upon seeing her son.
