"I know we really wanted to matchmake Jinchen and Zijing. I told my boy about it and he really hates the idea of getting match-made. He insists that he isn't desperate enough to consider arranged marriages and claims plenty of girls like him. He even threatened not to come home if I insisted on making him see more girls."
"Sigh! It was impossible for me to change his mind! I'm starting to suspect he already met someone he is interested in, but he refused to tell me anything. You know about his awful temper. When we barred him from joining the army, he secretly went ahead anyway. This time, I don't dare to force him against his will anymore. I am so sorry that things did not work out. In any case, we can't force him to date Zijing. If the children are destined for each other, they will eventually get married. If they are not fated to be together, let's not force them against their wills. Zijing is a great girl, so I am certain she has suitors aplenty," said Mrs Xu.
