The next morning, just as Qiao Mei had expected, An Xin had a worried expression on her face as she pulled Xu Lan and Liu Fen into the living room for a chat. Xia Chu sat obediently beside them.

“Mei Mei! You have come at the right time! Have a chat with your younger cousin, Xia Chu!” An Xin shouted at Qiao Mei as she stood on the stairs.

Qiao Mei sighed. She did not expect to have to be a matchmaker one day! This could be a new business for her. Perhaps she could set up a matchmaking company to help these single men and women!

“h.e.l.lo, Xia Chu. I’m Xia Zhe’s wife. Based on the family hierarchy, you can address me as Third Cousin-in-law,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“h.e.l.lo, Third Cousin-in-law,” Xia Chu said earnestly.

“Let’s go to my study and have a chat there.” After saying that, Qiao Mei walked upstairs. Xia Chu followed closely behind her while An Xin and the rest watched them leave with antic.i.p.ation.

After they entered the study, Qiao Mei sat down by the window and made tea for Xia Chu. He did not stand on ceremony and sat down opposite her, waiting quietly. However, she did not raise the issue of blind dates with him at all.

After a long silence, Xia Chu said, “Third Cousin-in-law, aren’t you going to ask me anything?”

“You’ll talk if you are in the mood. I won’t rush you,” Qiao Mei said earnestly.

“I thought that you’re my mother’s lobbyist. I’ve already thought about how to reject you,” Xia Chu said with a smile.

“You must have a reason for not wanting to get married. It’s useless for me to rush you. As for why you don’t want to get married, everyone has their own ideas and such things can’t be forced. You and my husband are just cousins. No matter what I say, it’s not only useless but will also make you feel annoyed with me,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Chu’s impression of Qiao Mei changed when he heard that. He knew all about Qiao Mei’s various businesses and was also aware that she was a very beautiful woman. Subconsciously, he felt that she must be a sly woman who was glib and scheming!

However, it seemed that he was wrong. Qiao Mei was a very easy-going and sincere person. He did not feel any pressure or worries when he hung out with her. She was not a hypocritical person like he had imagined.

“The truth is I don’t intend to get married. To be honest, I’ve never seen a husband and wife who can depend on each other forever. My parents don’t have a very good relationship. You’ve probably already had a taste of the antics of my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law. My second sister and second brother-in-law are both bookworms. Rather than say they’re husband and wife, it’s more accurate to say that they’re just like-minded colleagues,” Xia Chu said.

“So you think that you will also be unlucky in your marriage?” Qiao Mei asked.

Xia Chu nodded without hesitation and continued, “I grew up in the military academy and lived there. I only returned home to my family after I reached adulthood. Third Cousin-in-law, to be honest, I lack love and concern in my growing up years. I don’t think a person like me can maintain a marriage well.”

Qiao Mei looked at Xia Chu and did not say anything. This was another kid who grew up in an unhappy family. She thought for a moment and said, “Your third cousin also grew up in the military academy, but he’s a very good husband now. He loves me very much.”

Xia Chu chuckled and said, “But Third Cousin-in-law, you’re also a very nice person. You and Third Cousin are both very nice people, that’s why you love each other so much after you found each other. You’re both worth the efforts the other party put in. I don’t have this type of confidence though. This is like asking me to take a gamble, but I cannot accept the idea of losing.”

“If you meet the right person in the future, will you consider getting married?” Qiao Mei asked.

“No, I won’t. I’m not good husband material and I won’t be able to bring her happiness. I enjoy being on my own. Third Cousin-in-law, I mean what I say,” Xia Chu looked at Qiao Mei and said firmly.

Qiao Mei looked out of the window and started to feel melancholic. She knew Xia Chu’s reasoning now, but how was she going to explain it to Aunt? This was information that was hard to report back!

“Third Cousin-in-law, what are you thinking about?” Xia Chu asked.

“I’m wondering if your mother will believe me if I say that it’s because you’re not functional in that aspect,” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia Chu hopelessly.

Xia Chu looked at Qiao Mei and fell silent. He definitely cared about his reputation, but if they did not use this reason, what other excuse could he use to persuade An Xin not to arrange any more blind dates for him?

After a long silence, Qiao Mei and Xia Chu reached a consensus. Since it was only family members who would hear about this and they would not go out and spread the information around, it was not a big deal to use this as an excuse.

Xia Chu was already transferred to work in the capital’s military district. He left and drove to the dormitory in the military compound to put his things. Qiao Mei went to the ground floor to face An Xin and the rest.

“Did he tell you? What exactly is the reason?” An Xin asked nervously.

“Xia Chu, he  he ” Qiao Mei said hesitantly.

“It’s fine! Tell Aunt the truth! We’re all family!” An Xin said.
