"If you’ve got time to kill, why not go on a date?" Li Hui shot her a look, "What? No man asks you out to dinner? You have to scrounge meals at home?"
Nangong Lin: "..."
"Mom, are you even my real mother?" Nangong Lin was disgruntled, "I’m just home for a meal, is it really that big of a deal!"
"Why wouldn’t it be a big deal?" Li Hui widened her eyes, "Girl, in two months, you’ll be twenty-eight. How could it not be a big deal? Why come home for dinner when you could be going on more dates with men, maybe you’d meet someone you like? Don’t always set the bar so high!"
"I can’t exactly pick a dud." Nangong Lin pursed her lips.
"With your standards, every man in the Empire seems like a dud!" Li Hui rolled her eyes again.
"Look at you." Nangong Lin chuckled, "Oh come on, I’m here because I miss you and wanted to have a meal with you. Let’s not talk about this, come on, cheer up."
"I’m not joking with you." Li Hui continued angrily, "Look, Xiaojin and Xiaoran are both married with kids now, and it’s just you and your brother left. You’re not getting any younger. Do you think I, as your mother, wouldn’t worry? No matter how beautiful a woman is, she can’t escape aging or loneliness. Having someone care for you is always good!"
Care for her?
Nangong Lin’s eyes dimmed a bit, she slowly picked up her chopsticks, and couldn’t help but say, "Mom, what do you think about me finding a foreign boyfriend?"
"What?!" Li Hui pounced forward in surprise, "Are you saying you have a boyfriend? And he’s a foreigner!"
"Not yet, not yet, Mom, calm down, don’t shake!" Nangong Lin shouted, "I was just talking casually."
"As long as it’s a man, who cares if he’s foreign or an alien!" Li Hui said excitedly, "You ought to bring someone home for your mom!"
Nangong Lin: "..."
Geez, Mom, your taste is way too broad, your conditions are so relaxed, it’s like you’re getting rid of me rather than marrying me off!
"Who’s the guy?" Li Hui asked hurriedly, "Is he someone you fancy? Tell me about him, and I’ll give you some advice."
