Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
Chapter 807: Surrounded by Cute Young Ladies
"Saw Xiao Mo again today, all soft and cuddly, speaking crisply and sweetly, like a honeydew melon, both crisp and sweet," Lin Ligge said.
"I just think, a child like Xiao Mo at this age is so adorable."
"That’s why, having your little one from when they’re a tiny bundle, watching them grow up into a little bun like Xiao Mo, seeing all their cuteness, how great is that."
Lin Ligge drooled as she spoke.
Even made a slurping sound and swallowed it back.
Everyone: "..."
This is being truly enamored with kids.
"So, hurry up!" Lin Ligge gave Zhao Guoxian a slap on the back in frustration.
The "thump" sound was particularly loud.
Lin Ligge didn’t hold back at all.
Not afraid of hurting Zhao Guoxian.
That’s her own son, after all.
Zhao Guoxian touched the spot where he was hit, hand behind his back, rubbing while saying, "Isn’t there still second brother?"
"Second brother is only a few months younger than big brother, and he doesn’t have a girlfriend or is married either." Zhao Guoxian thought Zhao Guqing could take the heat instead.
"You’re comparing yourself to him?" Lin Ligge evidently didn’t think much of Zhao Guqing. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Zhao Guoxian said, "Mom, second brother’s okay."
"Okay? With his parents being so petty! Your second uncle keeps an eye on the family head position every day, but he doesn’t have the ability for it, so what’s he eyeing it for, without any self-awareness. That also has Zhao Guqing thinking he can compete."
Lin Ligge sneered, "Since your second brother is aiming for the family head position, finding a partner must be like selecting a queen, needing someone who fits the role of the family head’s wife, right? Picking and choosing, as if he’s going to grant a queen’s title."
"He has plenty of choices for marriage, you’re comparing to him?" Lin Ligge’s laughter suddenly carried a threat, "You really want to compare? Fine, let’s pick for you too, then?"
"No... I don’t, really," Zhao Guoxian quickly waved his hands.
"You’re just ungrateful for the good fortune you have!" Lin Ligge gave him an eye roll.
"No matter if your second brother is willing, or if your second uncle insists on picking someone with a great family background for him, or if he is happy with it himself, in this matter, he is destined to have little choice."
"He’s basically giving up his own choice for love, unless he’s lucky enough to find someone he loves in that limited pool. But where’s such good luck?"
"Even now, many ordinary people marry through matchmaking, and there aren’t many who genuinely fall in love and then get married, let alone families mostly marrying through alliances."
"I’ve never wanted you to marry through alliance," Lin Ligge said.
Firstly, their family doesn’t have much ambition.
There’s no need to rely on alliances for support.
Secondly, it’s the same as Zhao Dinghuan and Chi Jingsi’s thoughts.
It’s better for the children to live a happier life.
"If you can’t find a partner, I’ll arrange blind dates for you. But before that, I’ll still give you the chance to find someone on your own, maybe you’ll get lucky," Lin Ligge said.
"I’m really open-minded with you! It’s you who are disappointing, still haven’t found anyone."
"Look at you, wasting so many good opportunities. When you were in college, what a great chance it was, surrounded by so many lively young girls."
