870 A Million Times for You 232 (1/2)
They had always been worried about Fan Shixin remaining single for a prolonged period of time. Furthermore, he was their only son, and they could not pressure him all the time.
His parents were impatient and anxious over how he'd had no plans to get a girlfriend previously.
However, they could not go against his wishes, regardless of how eager they were.
Needless to say, they would definitely find an appropriate prospective marriage partner and introduce her to their son now that he had initiated a matchmaking session.
Fan Shixin was an excellent catch to most women — he was earning an impressive amount of money each month as Jin Qingyan's right-hand man. Not to mention, he was rather dashing and had never had a girlfriend before.
He was practically a dreamboat in the eyes of most women.
Fan Shixin's aunts frantically began introducing Fan Shixin to prospective partners upon hearing that he was interested in a matchmaking session.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Fan called Fan Shixin to inform him that she had already arranged for him to meet ten-odd women at a café.
Fan Shixin was greatly taken aback. More than ten women in such a short period of time?
Fan Shixin specially changed into a formal attire that made him appear suave and dashing. He then proceeded to attend the matchmaking session.
Upon arriving at the café, Fan Shixin took a seat by a table and waited for his blind date to show up. Minutes later, the first woman appeared.
Fan Shixin's first impression of her was that she was too short and appeared to be only about 1.5 meters tall. However, she had fair skin and immaculate features.
However, 1.5 meters was way too short for a man who stood at 1.82 meters.
After having a chat, Fan Shixin discovered that she was not only vertically challenged but also seemed to have a poor emotional quotient.
”My parents have told me about your situation. You've never tried to get a girlfriend before in so many years. Were you once fond of men?”
A sullen expression formed on Fan Shixin's face the moment he heard her words. He dismissed her coldly, ”I'm sorry, but I'm a straight man who fancies women. Miss, I don't think there's a need for us to continue talking. If we actually get married, I'll really be worried about the emotional quotient of my offspring. You may leave now.”
Hence, the first meeting fell through.
The woman regretted saying those callous words and left swiftly. The second woman made her grand appearance.
Her face was covered in heavy makeup and she even brought her best friends along.
Fan Shixin gave it a pass again.
The third woman had a round face and coarse skin. She was rather tall and was wearing a long dress — the typical way a demure woman would dress.
After a casual chat, Fan Shixin discovered that she did not meet his ideal standards at all.
The fourth woman was gorgeous and had a killer fashion sense that complimented her thin and slender figure.
However, she seemed to be rather domineering and even stated clearly her necessary monthly expenditure.
It was yet another unsuccessful date.
Then came the fifth…
The sixth…
The seventh…
Fan Shixin was mentally exhausted at the end of the two-hour session, during which he eliminated all of the candidates. None of them had caught his eye.
His parents told him not to get impatient and that they would introduce him to some other women tomorrow. However, Fan Shixin turned them down immediately and said that he would find a girlfriend himself, claiming that he did not wish to go on matchmaking sessions anymore.
He returned to Wei Ni Estate, feeling vexed and frustrated. Xiao Huang chuckled and asked, ”Chief, how did the matchmaking session go?”
”None of them was to my liking.”
”Why don't I introduce you to my cousin?”
Fan Shixin glared at him and said, ”Your cousin is a transvestite. She can't bear any children.
Xiao Huang covered his mouth and chuckled in amusement. ”By the way, Ms. Bu's mother returned today. I decided to be nosy and asked her about Ms. Bu's condition. She said that Ms. Bu went through a drastic change and has become stunningly gorgeous. Do you want to consider her…”
”I don't want her even if she becomes a fairy.”
Fan Shixin returned to his room and lay in bed, wondering to himself if he had lost the urge and patience to date women because he was getting too old.
After meeting the ten-odd women today, he decided that he ought to let nature take its course. He would rather stay alone than settle for a random woman.
