Chapter 261: Who Is So Blessed?

Qiao Sheng, without a blush or a heartbeat, blurted, "I don't know what kind of person my master is; he never told me, I don't even know his name."

"I see."

Xie Yin examined Qiao Sheng up close and thought she was rather pleasant to look at.

She finally understood why Na Lan Ruo Lan liked her so much, having taken her in as a god‑granddaughter.

She hadn't known this before.

She only learned it after Shi Lin told her.

Xie Yin continued, "Miss, you're quite beautiful; do you have someone you love?"

Their family's matriarch asked what this meant—could she be proposing Marriage to Qiao Sheng right now?

Qiao Sheng truly hadn't expected Xie Yin to ask such a question; the image of Shi Lin instantly flashed in her mind.

This time she didn't lie.

She answered honestly, "Yes."

A smile spread across Xie Yin's face: "Who is so blessed?"

It must be her own son.

Qiao Sheng said, "Madam, I won't tell you exactly who it is, because even if I said, you might not even know him. Moreover, it's still early for him and me; though we like each other, we have no plans to marry so soon."

What, no plans to marry so soon?

Thinking of what her son had said before.

Xie Yin snapped back, "The one you like is that man who often came to your restaurant, right? I saw him when I passed by earlier."

An Liu, An Shi: "......"

Their matriarch really can spout nonsense.

Qiao Sheng thought to herself that this matriarch was quite gossipy.

She stayed silent, which counted as tacit approval.

Xie Yin was even happier now; she ate the dishes half‑heartedly, lingered a while longer here, then paid and left.

Although Shi Lin didn't come to the restaurant, he was nearby.

He saw his own mother board the carriage and leave.

Shi Lin rode the carriage and followed, walking side by side, calling out, "Mother…"

"What are you shouting!"

Xie Yin stuck her head out and shouted.

Shi Lin showed a flattering smile and asked, "Mother, what did you tell Qiao Sheng, and how did she respond?"

That stinky kid of hers really has a crush on Qiao Sheng!

So attentive!

Xie Yin raised an eyebrow, "Want to know? Go back to where you live, I'll tell you!"

His mother even gave a cryptic answer!

However.

Shi Lin wasn't in a hurry either; he sat in the carriage with his mother and headed to the house he rented.

Once back, he had someone tidy a room for his mother and also bring tea.

The tea was served.

Xie Yin blew on it, took a sip, and said, "Qiao Sheng is quite beautiful, has a good personality, and her cooking skills are fine, but what if she doesn't like you?"

Shi Lin's expression froze: "Mother, how did you know she doesn't like me? Did she tell you something?"

Her son also has such a day.

Xie Yin didn't answer Shi Lin's question.

She said in a voice neither loud nor soft, "Son, a forced melon isn't sweet; perhaps you should just go marry Nuan Nuan. She's pretty, gentle, and has you in her heart and eyes."

"I don't like her; I won't marry her. Mother, if you still want to persuade me, then you can leave."

Shi Lin became a bit angry.

"Stinky kid!"

Xie Yin cursed Shi Lin, looked straight at him, and said, "Qiao Sheng said she has someone she likes…"

"That's impossible!"

Shi Lin didn't believe it; An Liu and the others had been staying by Qiao Sheng's side all along; if she had someone she liked, how could he not know?

Xie Yin knocked his hand over, "You fool, the person she likes is you! Though Qiao Sheng didn't say it outright, Mother already hinted at it; it can't be wrong."
