After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

There are many such pedantic people in this era.

"Do you really think so?"

"Of course," Fu Huaiyi said with a faint smile. "Although I do hope you can date me, preserving your talent and writing excellent works are important matters concerning your life and are more important to you."

He thought that way, which really surprised her.

Lin Yuyao lowered her head and slightly curved the corners of her lips, saying, "Thank you for your understanding."

Once we started chatting, I didn't seem so nervous anymore.

The more I talk, the easier it becomes.

Fu Huaiyi asked, "If you're considering starting a family in the future, could you give me priority consideration?"

Lin Yuyao looked up at him in surprise, meeting his burning gaze.

His gaze was so intense that she dared not look directly at him.

She lowered her eyes again and said, "But I heard from Brother Yi that your family has arranged a marriage for you, it seems to be that Miss Ming."

Fu Huaiyi: "..." Is that kid looking for death?

"Don't listen to his nonsense, it's not true. It was just something an elder mentioned, I never agreed to it, I made it very clear to Mingmei from the beginning."

"Well... it seems like that's not what she thinks."

Fu Huaiyi took a deep breath and sighed, "Yaoyao, I can't control others, I can only control myself, and I can only tell you my own thoughts. You're the same, aren't you?"

Oh, I think that's how it is.

For example, Lu Jiangting never believed that their relationship was over; he firmly believed that he was just angry and that their conflict was only temporary.

She couldn't control Lu Jiangting's thoughts either.

"Oh, I see. Well..." She couldn't keep him hanging on like that forever.

"How old are you again this year?" she suddenly asked.

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

If someone suddenly asks my age, will they think I'm too old?

He was a bit older than Lu Jiangting, who started school much earlier.

“I just turned twenty-four a few days ago, a year older than Lu Jiangting… a little over, maybe three years older than you? It’s not that much older, is it?”

Seeing his earnest explanation that he wasn't that old, Lin Yuyao knew he had misunderstood.

"No, I just want to say that I don't want to talk about it right now."

"Yes, I understand. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it now. I'll wait for you. Don't feel too much pressure."

Lin Yuyao: "..." He didn't understand.

“I mean, I’m afraid I’ll hold you back. In my hometown, if you’re not married by twenty-five, people will start talking about you.”

Lin Yuyao thought that it was indeed the case in her hometown; if a woman was not married by the age of 25 or 26, people would say that there was something wrong with her.

It seems a bit better here?

Fu Huaiyi was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Oh, I see."

He considered it for a moment and came up with a way to put it so that she wouldn't feel guilty.

"That's true, but I can't keep waiting forever. But there are many unmarried people around here who are 25 or 26, and no one will say anything. But if you're 30 and still not married, then you'll definitely be talked about. How about this, three years? I'll wait for you until you're 27."

Fearing she might overthink it, he added, "I originally planned to get married around 27 or 28."

Before she could speak, he quickly added, "We've both been free for the past three years. If you find someone you like, go for it and don't worry about me. If I find someone I like, I'll tell you, so don't feel guilty."

Hearing him say this, Lin Yuyao swallowed back the words she was about to say.

That's really... very thoughtful.

In this way, the three-year period becomes dispensable and can be disregarded at any time.

Lin Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief; now she was indeed free of any psychological burden.

"Okay."

She hadn't said or promised him anything, but to Fu Huaiyi, it sounded as if she had agreed to date him.

"The food is ready, where did Lin Ping go?"

"I sent him out to buy something. He should be back soon. I'll go check on him."

Fu Huaiyi quickly left, and only after going down to the third floor did his mood gradually calm down.

She had somehow come to see his image in her eyes.

But... she always felt there was something between them, making her want to get closer, yet also afraid.

Forget about it, I won't think about these things anymore. Whether it's fame, fortune, or money, nothing beats having it yourself.

She should focus on her writing.

Once the first quarter report is released, she will discuss the price of the second book with them.

Fu Huaiyi went downstairs to pick up Lin Ping. Luckily he went to pick him up, otherwise carrying two large boxes of soda up would have exhausted him.

"Why did you buy so many?"

Lin Ping said, "If you give me ten yuan, I'll definitely buy more. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease accepting that hard-earned money."

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

"Oh right, did you succeed?"

This kid, he still has the nerve to ask?

"Didn't you say that your parents were helping your sister find a partner back in your hometown?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"You're lying to me, she said no."

Lin Ping: "..." He doesn't admit it.

"I'm not lying to you. They said they'd give my sister a surprise later, but she just doesn't know."

Ok?

"Really?"

Lin Ping nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. "It's absolutely true. I only told you this secretly because you're my senior. Don't tell my sister, my parents won't let me."

He was always a little slow to react when it came to Lin Yuyao.

Hearing him say that, he couldn't tell if it was true or false.

But whether it's true or false, he felt he couldn't let his guard down.

In a few months, he would need to find another opportunity to talk to Yao Yao and tell her to focus on her career and that finding a partner and getting married was not something to rush.

Even if what Lin Ping said is true, Yu Yao will likely refuse the blind date her parents set for her.

When the two of them returned, each carrying a large box of soda, Lin Yuyao had already prepared the food and chopsticks, ready to eat.

"Huh, why did you buy so many sodas?"

Fu Huaiyi spoke up before Lin Ping could, "It's hot now, so it's fine to drink some. I asked Lin Ping to buy it."

They didn't even allow me to buy this much.

Lin Yuyao didn't know Lin Ping yet. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Greedy."

Lin Ping: "..."

"Sis, it really was my senior who asked me to buy it."

"Okay, alright, sit down and eat now."

After the meal, Lin Ping took the initiative to wash the pots and pans, telling Lin Yuyao to go downstairs and rest, as she had to go to work the next day.

She and Fu Huaiyi went downstairs together.

Is it convenient for you to go back to your unit now?

"Yes, I drove here, it's convenient."

"Lin Ping is ignorant and you must be sorry."

Fu Huaiyi said, "No, he's fine, very youthful and spirited."

Her older sister complained, "You're more like a reckless youth than a spirited young man."

"It's all normal. He'll be more mature in four years."

Uh……

hope so.

Stopping at the fourth-floor entrance, Fu Huaiyi asked again, "By the way, I heard that it's common for people to go on blind dates during the Lunar New Year where you're from. If your family were to arrange a blind date for you... you wouldn't agree, would you?"
