“I’m not too sure about that either.”

“This Jin Qingyan really doesn’t know any better. Regardless of how affluent he may be, he’s still a divorced man who has a child while your cousin is still a bachelorette. Your brother-in-law is still single, isn’t he? What do you say we matchmake your cousin with him?” said Shi Xiaoyu, acting as if she was an Empress Dowager who was making decisions for her people.

“Brother-in-law?” Lin Shishi asked in astonishment.

Shi Xiaoyu answered with a nod, “Yes, your brother-in-law is 28 years old now and he’s still single. Yet, he’s not even in a rush to get married. Of course I’d have to step in and intervene.”

“But... I heard that Brother-in-law fancies men...”

Shi Xiaoyu snapped, “What nonsense is that!?! He’s my son, I know him very well. He’s just like Danxue, I’ve been very strict with the two of them since they were young so he’s never been in a relationship before. Those rumors about him being a homosexual are all false.”

Tuoba Gucheng entered after pushing the door open and said bluntly, “Mother, are you planning to dupe someone else into marrying Brother? Brother is clearly interested in men, is there a point in denying that fact?”

Shi Xiaoyu chided, “Why are you spouting such nonsense? How could your brother possibly be fond of men?”

“Mother, you know clearly whether I’m spouting nonsense or whether you’re simply being in denial. I don’t approve of what you’re planning to do. Just let brother live the life that he wants and stop meddling with his affairs,” Tuoba Gucheng said without holding back.

“What are you talking about? Getting married and bearing offspring is a mandatory part of life. It has always been that way, be it in the past or in the present. How can one not have any children at all? He’s going to end up old and lonely with no one to care about him. Even though you’re his brother, you can’t take care of him as well as his children will. I just have your brother’s best interests at heart. Your brother is just muddled up for the time being. He’ll come to his senses once he gets married and has children of his own.”

Tuoba Gucheng protested, “I think you and the Tuoba family both have a part to play in Brother’s sexual orientation.”

“You don’t have to care whose fault it is. I’ve already asked him yesterday and he’s already admitted that he doesn’t want to get married, but I won’t agree to it.” Pointing at the couch, Shi Xiaoyu continued, “Sit down, I’ll discuss this with you.”

Tuoba Gucheng sat down and expressed his opinion, “Father is no longer in authority right now. You ought to stop thinking of meddling with our affairs. I won’t interfere with Brother’s life.”

“Even if you don’t interfere, I’m still your mother and I must take charge of your brother’s marital affairs. That’s just mandatory.” Shi Xiaoyu looked at Lin Shishi and said, “Get your cousin to come to the Autumn Palace tomorrow. You mustn’t breathe a word to your family about your brother-in-law’s homosexuality. Got it?”

“Mother, I won’t agree to this. I’ll have no objection if my cousin is still willing to marry Brother-in-law even after she finds out. Mother, you’re just trying to dupe my cousin into marrying Brother-in-law by acting this way. If you insist on acting that way, I’ll definitely tell my family about it. I can’t watch my cousin let her life be ruined by Brother,” Lin Shishi said in dissatisfaction.

Shi Xiaoyu blew her top and hissed, “Is your brother-in-law a menacing beast? What do you mean let her life be ruined?”

“Enough, Shishi is still pregnant, yet you called her here at night just to talk about this. We’re going back now. Stop looking Shishi up because of this matter anymore.”

Noticing that they were about to leave, Shi Xiaoyu panicked and said, “Gucheng, have you got any idea how those netizens are bashing your brother online? They’re so crude and callous with their comments. Your brother must get married as soon as possible so that those people can shut up.”

“Why are you getting worked up when Brother doesn’t mind it at all?” said Tuoba Gucheng before taking Lin Shishi away.

After leaving Shi Xiaoyu’s mansion, Lin Shishi grabbed his hand and said, “Thank you for coming to pick me up.”

“Don’t take my mother’s words to heart. You don’t have to interfere with this at all. If Mother continues to insist on her ways, you may tell your cousin and your aunt directly.”

“Alright.” Lin Shishi turned to gaze at his immaculate and dashing features.

After walking for a while in silence, Lin Shishi asked, “Are you happy that I’m carrying a son?”

Needless to say, she wanted to hear him express his joy.

To her disappointment, he said indifferently, “A son is no different from a daughter.”

Lin Shishi kept quiet. Just as they were about to reach the door, she added, “If Brother-in-law ends up marrying a woman, his married life will be just like ours. The only difference will probably be the fact that he fancies men while you don’t. But, are you really not interested in men?”

“No,” said Tuoba Gucheng.

Lin Shishi wondered if she should be happy or sad about that. He fancied women, just not her.

Jin Qingyan was already in bed at eight o’clock in the evening in A City.

The weather was chilly in February, and the rain made it feel as if it was wintertime again.

He was texting An Xiaoning while lying in bed and basically understood the gist of the situation.

He instructed An Xiaoning to be extra careful at all times and reminded her to get enough rest, eat well, and avoid getting injured.

He was not sick of repeating himself at all, such that An Xiaoning began wondering if he had been struck with an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

However, she did enjoy the feeling of being cherished and taken care of by him.

He went to sleep after chatting with her.

The lights were then switched off.

Xiao Huang, who was temporarily taking over Fan Shixin’s position, also prepared to go to bed after noticing that Jin Qingyan had switched off the lights.

However, just as he finished showering, Xiao Lu yelled, “Bad news, Young Sir seems to be acting abnormally.”

“Didn’t he already go to bed?”

“He’s up again.”

Xiao Huang hurriedly put on his clothes and scurried toward the main entrance with Xiao Lu.

There was a sports car parked by the entrance. Jin Qingyan had rarely driven the sports car, though he would do so occasionally. What was strange about him was the way that he was dressed.

He was wearing a bright red suit and a pair of red shoes.

He had even put on some eyeliner, making him look outrageously dashing!

“Young... Young Sir, didn’t you already go to bed? Where are you going right now?”

“Get out,” he said coldly.

“Young Sir, are you sleepwalking?” said Xiao Lu, who instantly got the chills after looking Jin Qingyan in the eye.

“Cut the crap and open the gate.” Jin Qingyan opened the door of the sports car and got into the driver’s seat.

They watched as the sports car vanished out of sight. Xiao Lu shivered and said, “Xiao Huang, what has gotten into Young Sir? Why is he behaving so abnormally?”

“Bring some people with you and tail Young Sir. Find out where he’s going.”

“Alright.” Xiao Huang immediately proceeded to make the arrangements.

Xiao Huang headed to the guard room, filled with thoughts and questions.

Not long after, Xiao Lu called to tell him that Jin Qingyan had gone to a nightclub.
