805 A Million Times for You 167 (2/2)
Rather taken aback and puzzled, Lin Shishi answered, ”My aunt's only daughter, who is also my cousin, fits that category. She's 27 years old this year, unmarried, and hasn't had a boyfriend before. I heard from my aunt that she holds her expectations high, is pretty, and has an established career. Naturally, she would want to pick an outstanding man to be her spouse.”
”What qualifications does she have and what kind of job does she do?”
”She just graduated a year ago with a Master's Degree in finance. She now works for a multinational corporation. Hubby, what are you asking about these for?” Lin Shishi asked out of curiosity.
”I'm planning to arrange a marriage for someone,” he said calmly.
”Who?”
”Jin Qingyan.”
”What!?!” Lin Shishi exclaimed in bewilderment. Why does he want to arrange a marriage for Jin Qingyan? Do they even know each other well? They're barely even friends. Why does he want to do that?
”You're making me confused. Why are you arranging a marriage for Jin Qingyan out of the blue?” she asked in puzzlement.
”As the leader of the Jin Corporation, Jin Qingyan is a valuable asset to the nation. Do I need another reason to arrange a good marriage for him? Where's your cousin now?” he asked.
”In A City.”
”I'll be making a trip down to A City to discuss something with Jin Qingyan. Come along with me.”
Lin Shishi was pleased to hear his offer. Beaming with joy at the thought of being able to go home, she agreed gleefully, ”Sure!”
It may be a promising marriage between Jin Qingyan and Cousin, but Jin Qingyan is An Xiaoning's ex-husband. Wouldn't that be a little inappropriate, then?
However, she did not voice her question and instead called home after having her meal.
Tuoba Guchenga and Lin Shishi had always traveled back to A City by car. However, they decided to opt for the private jet this time in order to save time.
Lin Shishi's aunt, uncle, and cousin were already present by the time they arrived at the Lin family home.
Needless to say, no one would dare to be late when meeting the president.
Tuoba Gucheng scanned Lin Shishi's cousin, who was dressed in business-casual attire, from head to toe to discover that she was rather tall and had exquisite features, as well as long, curly locks that cascaded down her shoulders. She was rather pleasant-looking and easy on the eyes.
”Shishi, what's your cousin's name?” he asked with a face of gentleness.
”Her name is Feng Qiubai.”
Feng Qiubai nodded in accordance.
”I heard from Shishi that you're single at the moment and that you've never had a boyfriend before. Is that true?”
”Your Majesty, it's true,” Feng Qiubai answered with a smirk.
”Would you be willing to marry Jin Qingyan if I set you up with him? I'll respect your decision and I definitely wouldn't force you if you're not,” he said calmly.
”I'd be willing,” Feng Qiubai answered.
The whole world was aware of Jin Qingyan's past marital status. However, she did not mind it at all.
”Well, that's great, then. I'll head over to Jin Qingyan's place now. Wait for my news,” said Tuoba Gucheng, who left soon after he just arrived.
Noticing how eager and anxious he was, such that it seemed like he came to A City personally just for this matter, Lin Shishi could not help but think to herself, Just what has their marriage have to do you?
Lin Shishi's aunt asked softly, ”Shishi… Did His Majesty come here to do this because you told him that your cousin was not married yet?”
Lin Shishi had no choice but to admit, ”When we were chatting idly, my husband asked me if I had any unmarried female relatives and so I mentioned Cousin to him. He said that he could arrange a marriage for her and decided to do it today since he happened to be coming here for some work matters.”
”Oh, I see. His Majesty really treats Shishi so well, he's even extended his kind gestures to us. I was just feeling troubled because this wretched lass refuses to settle for anyone she deems unworthy of her. Yet she actually agreed to marry a man like Jin Qingyan who's divorced with a child,” said Lin Shishi's aunt, who was over the moon.
”Mother, don't be so prejudiced against divorcees. Just because his marriage had failed and he has a child, it doesn't mean he can't have the right to pursue his true happiness. I value the man's character and personality over these superficial attributes,” Feng Qiubai said straightforwardly.
”I know you've always been an objective person with your own set of principles.”
While they were having a chat, Madam Lin pulled Lin Shishi upstairs and said, ”Jin Qingyan is Xiaoning's ex-husband, you silly child. Can't you tell your husband to set Qiubai up with someone else? Jin Qingyan is not the only capable and promising man around.”
