Mr. Shi’s words reminded Shi Muzhen of her dad’s plan.

Fifty to sixty? It’s not like you haven’t thought of making me the stepwife of an old man in his fifties or sixties. Now that a young man has arrived, you’re acting as if you’re merciful and saying that you’re thinking of me.

He wanted to sell his daughter, but he still wanted her to be grateful to him and help him count what he gained from it.

“I like someone else. I won’t go on a blind date with him.”

“Like someone, like someone. Can you eat it? You have to listen to me!” Mr. Shi was not very patient. “How long have you been following Gu Zhichuan around? He would have wanted you a long time ago if he had taken a liking to you. Wake up. You think you’re so outstanding that you can pick and choose here!

“This time, the potential partner is returning from overseas. It took me a long time to get them to agree. If suitable, you’ll get married this year. If you don’t go tomorrow, I’ll break your legs and you won’t have to go anywhere else!” Mr. Shi scolded with a dark expression.

After the scolding, Mr. Shi returned to his room, leaving Shi Muzhen in the living room with a furious expression.

She didn’t believe in fate and didn’t want to give in. She would fight for the person she wanted!

The next day, Lin Gantang went to the bookstore as usual and found that Bobo was also there. She wanted to play with the curly-haired cat, but she still couldn’t get what she wanted.

Cats were highly vigilant and would not easily trust humans. Lin Gantang had already planned for the worst outcome. If it really couldn’t work, she would keep it in the bookstore. Anyway, she wouldn’t let it wander around again.

In the afternoon, Bei Bei asked her out. Lin Gantang hadn’t seen Bei Bei for a long time, so she gladly agreed.

She sent Wen Yanqing a text message to inform him. “Darling, I’m going shopping and dinner with Bei Bei later. You don’t have to wait for me.”

Wen Yanqing quickly replied, “You said that you were busy at the shop last night and we didn’t eat together. You ate at home first in the afternoon, and now you have an appointment with a friend at night.”

Lin Gantang could hear the strong complaint in his words and held back her laughter. “We’re together every day; it’s just that we’re not eating together for two nights.”

Didn’t they try it before when they didn’t live together, not meeting for a week?

“Didn’t you just shop with me this weekend?” he asked.

“But I want to chat with Bei Bei,” said Lin Gantang.

“Oh, go ahead.”

Lin Gantang said happily, “Okay, I’ll go home by myself later.”

Bei Bei asked her to go to Beaver Square. She loved shopping there.

Lin Gantang saw that she had gone to many shops but nothing caught her eye, and she also didn’t say much.

Bei Bei was very easy to understand. Whether she was happy or not was written on her face. Right now, she was in a state of worry.

“What’s wrong? Did your mother ask you to go on a blind date again?” The pure and happy Bei Bei’s greatest worry right now was this.

“No.” Bei Bei irritably scratched at her shoulder-length hair. “Xu Bingxi confessed to me yesterday, and it made me very upset.”

Wow.

Lin Gantang continued to listen with brightened eyes.

“I treat him like a brother, but he wants to sleep with me? Why would he confess to me? Don’t you find it strange?”

“He likes you; what else could it be?” Lin Gantang chuckled.

“Why would he like me? Haven’t we been good friends for the past few years? I can’t accept his sudden confession.” Bei Bei was frustrated. “Now, I don’t even dare to answer his calls. I’m afraid he’ll say something else.”

“Why does he like you? Maybe he fell in love with you over time. You’re beautiful and cute, standing in front of him every day. It’s normal for him to fall in love,” Lin Gantang said.

“But forget it. I don’t like to reject people. The main point is that my mother accidentally heard his confession. Oh gosh, it’s as though my mother met her savior. She can’t wait to give me to Xu Bingxi.” Bei Bei was depressed. “I don’t even want to go back to my house now. Once I go back, my mum will nag me to accept him, so annoying..”
