Chapter 966

After hearing Xu Hongdou's words,

Chen Nanxing couldn't help but burst into a chuckle,

and the unhappiness that had been clogging her heart earlier dissipated considerably.

Afterwards,

Chen Nanxing took Xu Hongdou's hand and, while walking toward the café, said helplessly, "Let's go; I'll take you to meet the boy's parents. They're both former university students, both civil servants, and their family circumstances are quite good."

"If this were before I fell ill, I might actually have had some thoughts about it; after all, we're both so old, I'm still single, which doesn't look right."

Xu Hongdou glanced at Chen Nanxing, her eye twitching slightly, then said, "Come on, I'm single too, okay?"

Chen Nanxing snorted, shook her head, and said, "Fine, you're capable. Say that to Qin Feng's face! As for me, I'm a patient and can't fight you, but I believe Qin Fengkending Society would beat you until you howl!"

Xu Hongdou's face flushed red, and she immediately reached out to pinch Chen Nanxing's side flesh: "You silly girl, what nonsense are you spouting? When did you become so lewd? If you're not ashamed, I am!"

"Ashamed?"

Chen Nanxing's gossiping heart instantly ignited; looking at Xu Hongdou curiously, she asked, "Did you really fight? Was your strike heavy? Did it feel... pleasurable?"

Xu Hongdou was instantly speechless and rolled her eyes at Chen Nanxing: "Hmph, I just won't tell you! Wait until you have a boyfriend and experience it yourself!"

"Hehe..."

Chen Nanxing chuckled and said shamelessly, "Then don't mention it; I probably won't experience it even before I die!"

After Chen Nanxing finished speaking,

Xu Hongdou finally realized she had said the wrong thing.

However, seeing Chen Nanxing's expression at that moment, she didn't seem particularly bothered.

So Xu Hongdou didn't steer the topic toward death.

The two, hand in hand, walked into the café.

Chen Nanxing's parents and the boy's parents were still sitting in the café, chatting about something.

Seeing Chen Nanxing approach with an unfamiliar but exceptionally beautiful girl,

the boy's father, Uncle Xiong, immediately gave a reminder.

The four immediately stopped talking.

Then,

the boy's father rose, first looking at Xu Hongdou beside Chen Nanxing with surprise, then said cheerfully, "Nanxing, you're finally back. We thought you were lost and were about to go find you. By the way, who is this?"

Chen Nanxing smiled helplessly and then said, "Uncle Xiong, Auntie Li, she's my best friend, Xu Hongdou. She came to the hospital to visit me today, but I wasn't there, so Hongdou contacted me. I happened to be out buying water, so I made Hongdou wait a while."

"This girl is named Xu Hongdou?"

The boy's mother, Auntie Li, couldn't help but stand up and look Xu Hongdou up and down carefully.

Afterwards,

Auntie Li actively extended her hand toward Xu Hongdou and said with extreme enthusiasm, "Hongdou, you're truly beautiful, really. You're like a flying celestial maiden from the Dunhuang murals, captivating the soul. Come, Hongdou, sit beside Auntie, okay?"

"No, no."

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou hurriedly waved her hands and refused with a smile, "No need, Auntie. I'll just sit beside Nannan. Nannan isn't feeling well, so it's more convenient for me to take care of her beside her."

"Then... alright."

After being refused by Xu Hongdou, Auntie Li was obviously somewhat disappointed, but she still smiled and nodded, then sat back in her seat.

Afterwards,

Auntie Li asked again, "Hongdou, what would you like to drink? The lattes here are quite good; although they can't compare to Starbucks, the taste is still acceptable."

"No need, Auntie."

Xu Hongdou could only refuse with a smile again: "I work out, so I don't drink coffee; I only drink mineral water. Besides, just now outside, Nannan and I drank some together, so I'm not thirsty now. Thank you..."

"Alright."

Auntie Li helplessly nodded again, hid the disappointment and sadness in her eyes, and then looked at Chen Nanxing's parents, saying, "Brother Chen, Sister-in-law, actually, it's fate that our two families met, really."

Speaking, Auntie Li turned her head to look at Chen Nanxing again, then continued with a smile, "Actually, both of us really like Nanxing, really. So, I think, regarding the children's matter, why don't we settle it down while we have this opportunity?"

Before Auntie Li finished speaking,

Uncle Xiong kept giving Auntie Li signals with his eyes.

However, Auntie Li pretended not to see them at all. After finishing speaking with Chen Nanxing's parents,

Auntie Li turned her head again to look at Chen Nanxing and asked, "Nanxing, you've seen our Taotao's photo. He's tall and handsome, has a high education level, is very kind to people, and has a good heart. I think you would like our Taotao, so why don't we settle this matter?"

"Settle it?"

Chen Nanxing's eyes widened, and impatience immediately showed on her face.

Seeing this, Xu Hongdou feared Chen Nanxing would say something rash, so she hurriedly kicked Chen Nanxing twice.

Then,

Xu Hongdou looked at Auntie Li and said very tactfully, "Auntie, I think this isn't very good. After all, marriage is a matter between your son and Nannan. Even if you and Uncle are very satisfied with Nannan, what if your son isn't satisfied? Then it still won't work out."

"Moreover, do Uncle and Auntie know Nannan's situation? For an illness like Nannan's, there is no possibility of a cure; we can only try to extend her life. So, for Nannan's sake, and for your son's sake, let's just call off this blind date?"
