Chapter 1379: Men Are Not Blocks Of Wood
So the matter was settled.
When Li Qinglang went back, his elder sister, Li Qingdan immediately asked, “How was it? Did you like the girl?”
Li Qinglang looked at his sister and replied, “Not bad. I’ll try going out with her.”
Li Qingdan was shocked!
He had met the right one so easily?
And a Beijing University student too?
Hadn’t this brat attended university before?
He had been in school for so many years. Why hadn’t he brought back a sister-in-law for her?
Now after just one matchmaking session, he found one he fancied?
Li Qingdan was filled with regret. “If I had known, I would have asked you to attend a matchmaking session earlier. Have some proper dates! The girl is a university student; she must be quite capable and accomplished. If she gets together with you, you’ll definitely have common topics of interest.”
…
“Um!” Li Qinglang did not disagree.
He had eaten lunch outside. At home, his sister and brother-in-law were having lunch. He did not join them but went to the study to work.
When Li Qingdan saw that he had gone to the study again, she looked upset. “Really, I just praised him, and he’s off to the study to work again. I really wonder if work is his real wife!”
Gu Jinye laughed. “All right, stop worrying. At his age, Qinglang knows what to do.
“Besides, he’s a man! A man’s career is foundational to him. If a man does not have his own career, how will he give his wife and children a good life in the future?”
Li Qingdan: “…”
Gu Jinye picked up some vegetables with his chopsticks and placed them in his wife’s bowl. “Stop worrying. Qinglang is not so old that you need to panic. As long as he continues to be so outstanding, there will definitely be a nice girl who is willing to marry him.”
Li Qingdan grumbled, “I’m just afraid he will work until he turns into a block of wood! Courtship is a skill, and any type of skill needs to be developed. If he doesn’t interact with girls but only busies himself with work, will he suddenly acquire all the right skills when he reaches that age? Surely not!”
Gu Jinye: “…”
But she did have a point.
While the couple was chatting casually, Li Qinglang was in the study. But he was not working.
He was sitting at his desk. His mind was filled with his encounter with Han Jing.
Her calmness. Her cold face. When he thought of how he had first met her, he really felt it was miraculous.
When Gu Qingyao received the news, she was also astounded.
“He found one so easily?”
Mo Beihan shrugged. “Mu Mu said so when he came over. I don’t think you can consider it settled? The two of them just think well of each other, so they’ve decided to interact for a while and see how things go. When I was discussing something with Eldest Cousin this morning, he mentioned it and said that the two of them get along quite well, so they’ll try spending time with each other!”
Gu Qingyao said, “That’s pretty good! You don’t know how Eldest Cousin-in-law went on about it. It was as if her brother has been left on the shelf. She’s afraid he’ll turn into a block of wood, so I think this is a pretty good development!”
Mo Beihan turned to look at Gu Qingyao and smiled rather slyly. “A block of wood? Do you women really think that men are like blocks of wood?”
Er…
Gu Qingyao was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Mo Beihan laughed and said, “If men act like blocks of wood, the most likely explanation is that he doesn’t fancy the girl. If he meets a girl that suits him, especially a girl who checks all the boxes and makes his heart beat faster and especially a girl worthy of him and who is qualified to be his wife, you will see if he acts like a block of wood or not!”
