"Mom, can we finally talk about it now? What was that all about?" Chen Jianyu asked frustratedly.
"What are you so unhappy about? Didn't you find her nice enough? She is polite, just, and also independent. She is pretty, has a good temper, and also cooks great food. What more do you want in a girl?" asked Mother Chen.
"Yes, she is a perfect girl, but that doesn't mean I want a relationship with her. I am not ready yet."
Mother Chen was exasperated. "When will you be ready then? You are already twenty-six. Your cousin also married when he was twenty-five. It's not that early! And you can at least give a chance. Maybe you will really start to like her. Don't just assume the negative without even trying!"
Then she became serious. "Or perhaps..you still haven't forgotten about her."
Jianyu froze.
She sighed. "Jianyu, I want the best for you, and she..was not suitable for you. Trust me."
He didn't answer.
