Chapter 474 - 10 Consolation for a Broken Heart
"Talk to me, what do you really think?" Lin Xiaoguai asked, holding her hand.
"My mom told you already." Wang Zhizheng pursed her lips, "It’s just like that. I know both my parents mean well for me, and even if they don’t say it, with Ah Kun’s family situation, I just can’t convince myself to marry him."
"I’m probably just a common person," she said with a smile to Lin Xiaoguai, "I’m not ambitious, never thought about marrying my way into a better life, but having been a sparrow all my life, it doesn’t make sense for me to willingly live in a chicken coop."
"I’m very clear that I could, perhaps, endure for a while because of my feelings for Ah Kun, but a lifetime is too long."
"It’s best if you can figure it out on your own." Lin Xiaoguai didn’t think her goddaughter’s thoughts were wrong at all, the notion that love alone is enough to be content is simply not realistic.
"So, did you really run away from home this time just because you were fed up with blind dates?"
"My grandmother is too unreliable." Wang Zhizheng complained, hugging her arm, "Godmother, you have no idea about the matchmaker she found for me, what kind of people she introduced. One who looked okay but wasn’t even as tall as me, another one from a wealthy family who was so arrogant they nearly looked down their noses at people, and one who wasn’t even weaned, had to look at his mom before saying a word... each more problematic than the last."
"Yaya, are you one meter seventy now?" Lin Xiaoguai sized her up and asked.
"With shoes on, I’m one seventy, but one sixty-nine without them," Wang Zhizheng frowned and replied.
"Finding a partner with your height might be tough in the south, how about I find someone for you in the Capital?" Lin Xiaoguai suggested.
