Do You Want to Marry Me? Chapter 39

Chapter 39
The phone on the bedside table lit up. It was Qiao Ranran who had replied, saying that she had fallen asleep the night before and asking Jin Nian what was wrong. Jin Nian replied with a puppy crying emoji, and Qiao Ranran immediately sent a video. “What’s wrong, Niannian? Did I make you cry?” Jin Nian pursed her lips and tearfully told Qiao Ranran about how her relatives had come to her home early in the morning to criticize her.
On the other end of the phone, Qiao Ranran was in the process of her skincare routine. When she heard this, she couldn’t sit still. “Are your aunts crazy? What is going on in their minds? Jiang Qingchi had cheated on her, and they still said that it was a small mistake. Are there no men in the world?” Jin Nian nodded and said, “So annoying!”
Qiao Ranran comforted her on the other end of the phone. “Just treat them as bullsh*t. Ignore them! You can decide your own life!” Jin Nian’s bad mood was much better now that she had a comrade on her side. Qiao Ran Ran sneered as she wiped the essence. “There is no lack of men in this world. There are 3.5 billion men in the world, and you can’t pick a better one than that bastard Jiang Qingchi. I don’t believe it.” Jin Nian nodded vigorously and said, “You’re right! ”
“Isn’t it just getting married?” You must find a better man than Jiang Qingchi! Shut the mouths of your aunties, and they won’t have the nerve to nag you anymore!” Jin Nian nodded frantically and said, “You’re right!” Qiao Ranran continued, “There are many good men out there and there’s one right in front of us.”
You should find your handsome childhood friend, who is rich and handsome. If you marry him, your relatives will be envious!” Jin Nian nodded frantically again and said, “You’re right!” After saying that, she quickly realized that something was wrong and asked, “Which childhood friend of mine are you talking about?” Qiao Ranran replied, “How many childhood friends do you have? Of course, it’s Young Master Lu!”
But Jin Nian shook her head and said, “It’s impossible between us. A rabbit doesn’t eat the grass near its nest!” Qiao Ranran said, “Aren’t you old-fashioned? Haven’t you heard of the saying a pavilion near the water gets the moon first? I think he must be interested in you. Why don’t you like him?” Jin Nian shook her head again and said, “No, we can’t be friends anymore!” Qiao Ranran retorted, “Jin Nian, are you a promising person? Do you lack friends now? What you lack is a man who can help you shut up the mouths of everyone! I’ll see if Jiang Qingchi will be furious if the two of you get married directly!”
Jin Nian shook her head again and said, “I’m not going to marry him!” Qiao Ranran replied, “To be honest, where could you find another man who was as good as Lu An? He’s much better than Jiang Qingchi!” Jin Nian agreed.
Qiao Ranran said, “Think about it carefully. If you marry Lu An, wouldn’t you become a nabobess? Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, in reality, the two of you would be perfect for each other. You could skip the phase of getting to know each other, and he wouldn’t deceive or hurt you like that scumbag Jiang Qingchi. Most importantly, people like Lu An are in high demand in both the free love and matchmaking markets. If you miss this opportunity, you’ll definitely regret it later.”
Jin Nian was at a loss for words. Qiao Ranran’s mouth had won her the title of best debater in the school. She could turn black into white, and the key was that she could make people subconsciously convinced. Qiao Ranran continued, “Both your families are very familiar with each other. I think your parents treat him like their own son. To be frank, even if it’s just to please your family, after you get married and each goes your own way, you’ll still be the one benefiting from the arrangement. Where else can you find such a high-quality partner?”
The last line of defense in Jin Nian’s heart had been shaken by Qiao Ranran. The two of them had chatted for more than half an hour. Qiao Ranran was in a hurry to go to work and couldn’t delay any longer. “Let’s meet after work. I’ll comfort you, you pitiful little thing.” There were still a few days left before the holidays, so there was no need to rush to work. A few days ago, she had been so busy with the engagement that she had forgotten to eat. Now that she was suddenly free, she felt extremely empty. She couldn’t sleep. Jin Nian put on her slippers and went to the breakfast shop downstairs to buy some buns and deep-fried dough sticks. She casually strolled along the park outside the neighborhood. When she got home, she saw that it was only 9:30 pm.
Jin Nian thought, “How could I endure this? Should I go to work?” However, Jin Nian quickly dismissed this idea. Her colleagues didn’t know about her breakup with Jiang Qingchi. If she suddenly went back to work, she would inevitably be questioned by everyone. Just thinking about it gave her a headache.
