Chapter 642: Introducing a Partner

’Since when was Mom a matchmaker?’

’Wait a second. Don’t tell me Mom is trying to set my brother up?’

At this thought, the color drained from Qin Wenying’s face.

’A man like Qin Wenze... How could he possibly be worthy of Doctor Xie?’

Doctor Xie was also visibly taken aback when she heard Mrs. Qin’s words.

She then politely declined. "I’m sorry, but I don’t have any plans to get married at the moment—"

When Mrs. Qin heard this, her eyes lit up.

’Doctor Xie said she doesn’t have plans to get married *at the moment*, not that she doesn’t want to get married at all.’

She immediately said with enthusiasm, "Doctor Xie, it’s fine to get married later, that’s no problem! But you can start dating now. I have just the person—"

Qin Wenying was terrified her mother was about to say the name of Qin Wenze, that divorcee.

She desperately tried to stop her. "Mom, Doctor Xie already said no! Please don’t—"

Mrs. Qin shot her a death glare. "This has nothing to do with you. I’m not nagging *you* to get married. Now, shut your mouth."

The stern expression melted away as she turned to Doctor Xie, replaced by a smile as pleasant as a spring breeze.

"Doctor Xie, the person I want to introduce you to is a really great catch. You’re always so tired from work. Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone at home to do the laundry and cook for you?"

Doctor Xie: ...?

’Laundry and cooking? I can just hire a housekeeper for that.’

’Besides, I live alone. Why would I need to hire someone?’

’I hate having other people invade my personal space at home.’

"Thank you, but there’s really no need—"

"What about our Qin Wenshu? He’s handsome, young, and has a strong build. Plus, he’s very obedient. He’ll never argue with you."

"COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!" When Qin Wenying heard her mother say "our Qin," she was about to scream at her.

’Isn’t this just pushing her savior into a pit of fire?’

’A louse like Qin Wenze—he shouldn’t be allowed to remarry.’

’Him, trying to make Doctor Xie his third wife? Talk about a toad lusting after a swan—he’s completely unworthy.’

But when she heard the name Qin Wenshu, she nearly coughed up a lung.

’Good heavens, her mom was truly full of surprises.’

’She never would have imagined that the person her mom wanted to set Doctor Xie up with was actually—Qin Wenshu.’

’But... but there’s a seven or eight-year age gap between them!’

’What was Mom thinking? Did she even ask Qin Wenshu? Did she ask our second uncle and aunt?’

Doctor Xie: ...? Qin Wenshu?

’That young man who’s only in his early twenties?’

’The really energetic one?’

’The one who never stops talking?’

"—I’m sorry, but no."

Mrs. Qin was a little disappointed to hear that.

"Oh, alright then! Wenshu is wonderful in every way, you know. He said he likes you a lot, and so does his mom... Actually, it was the two of them, mother and son, who asked me to bring this up. Since it’s a no, then just pretend I never said anything, Doctor Xie."

"But, you really should consider it—"

Doctor Xie: ...?

’Me, consider a man who’s seven or eight years younger than me?’

’In another ten years, he could be young enough to be my son.’

’I’m not trying to be a mother.’

Qin Wenying found her voice and quickly cut in.

"Doctor Xie, please ignore my mom. Anyway, thank you and Dr. Miao for saving me."

"It’s my duty as a doctor. No thanks are necessary."

With that, Doctor Xie walked out of the room.

She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, the woman would say something even more outrageous.

The moment she was gone, Qin Wenying couldn’t hold back any longer. "Mom, how could you try to set Doctor Xie up with someone? And Qin Wenshu, of all people? Is he even worthy of her?"

Mrs. Qin: ...?

"Why isn’t he? So what if there’s a little age difference? What’s the big deal? Besides, I was just asking. It’s only the three of us in this room, no one else heard."

’After all, Doctor Xie saved three members of the Qin family.’

’What’s wrong with introducing her to a kindred spirit?’
