Grandma Xiao knew what kind of person she was, how many roads she had walked, and how many things she had seen.
Seeing her reaction, her lips curled up in satisfaction.
“Miss Bai will find that our Lijin is actually a very good match.”
How could the old lady still be thinking of matchmaking them!
To her surprise, her cheeks actually turned red.
“The thing is, Grandma Xiao, I don’t plan on marrying just yet.
I’m still young and not considering it.”
“It’s okay not to think about marriage, just find a boyfriend to date first.
When you’re ready to marry, you can get married, right?”
The elderly are always quite persuasive when advising others.
“I…”
Bai Qingzhu wanted to say she actually had a child already and truly had no right to talk about dating or marriage, but she wasn’t close enough to them to share that detail.
However, Grandma Xiao kept thinking, if things didn’t work, she would feign illness for a few more days to encourage more interactions between them.
Even though it was only their second meeting, she could tell that the girl’s character and such were very good.
Most importantly, this woman was a skilled doctor, and having someone like her at home would be very beneficial.
After the conversation, Grandma Xiao called out, “Lijin is back, isn’t he?
Why hasn’t he shown up yet?
Go ask him what exactly he’s up to.”
Bai Qingzhu understood the old lady’s intentions all too well and quickly stood up saying, “Grandma, I have things to do, so I should get going.”
“Leaving?
I had the kitchen prepare your portion as well.
Stay for dinner with us today.”
“No, thank you.
I don’t have the habit of eating at patients’ homes.”
It was true, she had cured many people abroad, but she had never stayed to eat at a patient’s home.
“Customs are made by people and also broken by people, no worries.
Just stay here!”
“Really, it’s not necessary.”
While they were talking, Xiao Lijin had finished bathing and came over.
“Grandma, you called for me?”
He was freshly showered, his hair not dried with a hairdryer, making his black locks look so refreshing, deep eyes seemingly larger than before.
A scent of freshness approached, the man appearing even more revitalized.
Alright, Bai Qingzhu admitted, although his personality wasn’t the best, his appearance was quite resistant to criticism.
At first glance, he truly could make one’s heart flutter.
But between them, it really wasn’t likely.
Bai Qingzhu took this opportunity to quickly leave, but Grandma Xiao noticed.
“Lijin, I want to keep Miss Bai here for dinner, but she says it’s not her custom.
I can’t move about much myself, so could you please keep her here for me?”
Xiao Lijin’s gaze fell upon her.
There was an inexplicable pressure.
“It’s really not necessary, Grandma.
I have an urgent matter and must leave now,” she insisted.
“It’s midday, even if you have an urgent matter, you should eat first!”
“Thank you for your kindness, Grandma, you don’t have to be so polite with me.”
Bai Qingzhu swiftly made her escape.
But Xiao Lijin said, “Grandma, if Miss Bai doesn’t want to eat at our place, then let it be.
I’ll go escort her out.”
“That’s fine.”
As long as it gave her grandson and her more opportunities to be together, anything was acceptable.
Besides, if they couldn’t keep her today, there would always be a next time.
Bai Qingzhu wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, but Xiao Lijin had already followed her with big strides.
At the doorstep, the car was already waiting.
She turned around and said, “Your family should have drivers to take me home, right?
There’s no need for you to do it.”
Xiao Lijin spoke with an amused smile, “Miss Bai must be overthinking it.
I said I’d send you off, but only as far as here.
I had no plan to take you home.”
