Chapter 1447 - I Only Want You (1/2)

Mrs. Fan said, “I think this girl has great attributes. She graduated from a prestigious university and is now working for a major enterprise. She’s well mannered and has a good temper. I even found out that her parents are very kind and friendly as well. They get along really well with their neighbors. She remained single until now because she had yet to meet someone whom she fancies. Shixin, she’s already dead. You still have to continue living. You’re our only son. Can you bear to see our family bloodline cease?”

“So, Mother, why didn’t you give birth to two sons when you gave birth to me back then?” Fan Shixin retorted impatiently. He had been in low spirits, and his temper had also gotten worse lately. He would often lash out at his subordinates as well.

“I would have given birth to another child if I could. Son, I just want you to have a companion who can be by your side. You’re already 31 years old. Do you know how upset your father and I felt when we saw other elderly couples playing with their grandchildren at the park? I don’t want to force you, so I’ve already suggested to Qianxue that the two of you start dating for a while and get to know each other better. If you really don’t fancy her, we’ll make other plans. Alright?”

Mrs. Fan began to sound desperate and eager for him to concede.

Fan Shixin sighed and said, “Alright.”

Upon hearing his answer, Mrs. Fan said gleefully, “Son, you have to be mindful of your health. Get more rest and refrain from tiring yourself out.”

“Got it. I’m driving now. Time to hang up.”

“Alright.”

Fan Shixin drove to the yard and parked his car inside the garage. As soon as he alighted from the car, he caught sight of Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning sitting on the swing.

He walked toward them at a steady pace and squinted at them. “Young Madam, Young Sir, you two are so cruel to a singleton like me bright and early in the morning.”

Jin Qingyan asked, “Where did you come from?”

“My parents’ home. My mother found me a prospective partner through a matchmaking session.”

“How did that turn out?”

“She seems to be a great catch, but I don’t feel a thing for her at all. My mother wants me to try and get along with her for the time being.”

Jin Qingyan sighed and remarked, “It must be tough on your mother for having such a disobedient son like you.”

Fan Shixin retorted, “Young Sir, how am I disobedient? I agreed to get along with her first. Aren’t I being obedient enough?”

Surprised to hear that he had agreed, Jin Qingyan said, “It’s been hard on you.”

“I’m glad you understand my plight, Young Sir.”

“I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news for you. Which one would you like to hear first?”

Pursing his lips, Fan Shixin answered, “Are you going to trick me again?”

“Hurry and make your selection.”

“I want to hear the bad news.”

Jin Qingyan raised his chin slightly and said, “Okay. The bad news is that your Young Madam and I are going on a vacation. You’ll have to take care of the kids.”

“Young Sir, isn’t this a piece of good news? Without you around, there’ll be no one to pressure me anymore. I’m more than happy.”

“…”

“Since you don’t find this to be bad news, I won’t say anything else. I shall now tell you a piece of good news. After some discussion, your Young Madam and I have decided to gift you with a bigger apartment as a reward for all your hard work throughout all these years.”

Fan Shixin finally smiled and said, “Young Sir, I hope to hear more of such good news in the future. Money and property are the most practical.”

“Shoot, which area do you want the house to be in?”

“Somewhere in our estate. I don’t like other estates and I prefer it here. I feel much safer. I’ll be nearer to you guys too.”
