Chapter 326: Feelings can be cultivated

Lilian had arrived, so Xie Zian pointed out the cake that Xi Xi had been staring at for a long time, and only then did she calm down.

I grew up abroad since childhood, but I don't mind returning to my country for love's development; moreover, our family backgrounds and social status are very compatible. Mr. Xie, do you have any objections?

Lilian spoke very logically, and Xie Zian paused a moment after she finished before responding.

I have no objections to what you said, but there's one more thing: there is no love between us. What you're satisfied with is my mother, not me, and I don't need you to return to the country for me.

Xie Zian spoke very bluntly: "I have no intention of getting married in the near future; today let's just treat this as a meal out, and from now on let's just interact as friends."

He rejected Lilian's suggestion without hesitation.

Lilian took a sip of coffee, "I think we still need to talk; like you, I currently have no intention of marrying, but you should also know that for families like ours, marriage is not something we can freely decide."

Mr. Xie, I've also heard about your past actions; after we marry, I won't interfere with any of your choices. We can also notarize premarital property, which would be disadvantageous to neither of us.

All they need is a marriage of convenience; on this point they can easily reach an agreement.

"I think you may have misunderstood; I don't mind the property issue, but the person I marry must be the one I love."

Their conversation grew increasingly profound, and Xi Xi, on the side, completely failed to understand.

From the few words she could actually understand, Xi Xi could roughly guess what they were talking about.

"Sister, are you going to marry Uncle Xie? My dad and mom only had me and Brother Yao Yao after they got married......"

Seeing Xiao Tuanzi talk more and more, threatening to muddy the clear water, Xie Zian hurriedly gave a light cough to stop her.

"Xi Xi, behave and eat your cake; after we finish the cake we should head home."

Lilian still seemed unwilling to give up, attempting to persuade Xie Zian.

However, Xie Zian is someone who cannot be swayed either way; he simply refuses to budge.

"I appreciate your good intentions, but please go tell my mother I don't like this type."

Lilian also didn't press further, nodded and agreed to Xie Zian's request, "Your personality is great; I like it."

Thus the blind date ended like that, and Xi Xi watched Lilian leave with reluctance.

"Uncle Xie, didn't you say you wanted to be good friends with Miss Lilian?"

Xie Zian helplessly patted Xi Xi, "We just can't click; we can't be friends."

Lilian is a typical refined egoist, and her thoughts have nothing in common with Xie Zian's.

Moreover, even if they married Lilian now, Mrs. Xie would hound them to have children, and they could fool her for a while but not forever.

"Maybe in a few days I'll have to introduce you to other friends."

Xie Zian knows Mrs. Xie's temperament better than anyone; once she gets an opportunity, she will surely pursue relentlessly.

Xi Xi nodded thoughtfully, and a hint of pity appeared in her gaze toward Xie Zian.

"Then Uncle Xie, when will you be able to find a suitable friend for yourself?"

Xie Zian did not answer this question, because he also didn't know what the correct answer was.

As for their quick return, Lu Xiwan was not at all surprised.
