Chapter 587: She Must Be Pretending
"He never mentioned it doesn’t mean he never thought about it! He just said himself that he wants a daddy!" Ms. Zhao’s aura of a strong woman emanates, "Leave this to me! I’ve seen you not making any moves before, and I thought it wouldn’t be right for an outsider like me to get involved. But for Xiaoze’s sake, I’m definitely getting involved! Don’t worry, I won’t lower the standards because you have a son. I will definitely find someone who matches you in every way!"
Mu Yiliang looked bewildered, how did the topic shift to this?
She glanced at Xiaoze, "Son, do you really need a daddy? If we find one, it would be a stepdad, aren’t you afraid he’d mistreat you?"
Xiaoze’s mouth twitched, then he looked eagerly at Ms. Zhao, "Auntie definitely wouldn’t introduce someone with poor character to mommy, right?"
"Of course!" Ms. Zhao was defenseless against Xiaoze’s cuteness, patting her chest, "Anyway, leave it to me. Yiliang, just wait for my good news!"
Mu Yiliang internally felt refusal.
However, thinking that Xiaoze actually wanted a daddy, she found herself unable to voice any refusal... Forget it, after all, Ms. Zhao won’t find a suitable candidate so quickly. How many men are willing to take on a ready-made son anyway?
But if she really remains single, would Xiaoze be very upset?
She felt a bit conflicted.
After dinner, Mu Yiliang took Ms. Zhao home, then drove her son back to their own home.
On the road, Mu Yiliang couldn’t help but ask, "Xiaoze, do you really want a daddy?"
Xiaoze shook his head.
Mu Yiliang almost snorted in anger, "Then why did you say that in front of Aunt Zhao?"
"Mommy, I wasn’t looking for a daddy for myself, I wanted to find a man for you!" Xiaoze sighed, "I will grow up eventually, and then you’ll still be alone... Does that make any sense!"
Mu Yiliang snorted, "Why not? When you grow up, I’ll be a wealthy, leisurely old lady, living the dream!"
Xiaoze sweated a bit.
"But wouldn’t it be even better to have a handsome guy by your side with all that wealth and leisure?" Xiaoze coaxed, "Anyway... if Aunt Zhao really introduces someone, just go meet him, it won’t hurt! Who knows, you might like him!"
Mu Yiliang made a disdainful face.
She was genuinely not interested in dating or marriage, why does everyone else not believe her! Do I seem that desperate!
Mu Yiliang was very angry, really angry!
Xiaoze saw her expression and knew what she was thinking, he sighed dramatically and slapped his forehead with great exasperation.
"You rascal..." Seeing him acting up, Mu Yiliang couldn’t help but laugh.
Oh well, since her son was concerned for her, if there’s a suitable man to meet, she’ll just meet him...
After all, it wouldn’t do any harm, right? She consoled herself.
The next day, Mu Yiliang arrived at the office, and just after she sat down, Gu Qingqian walked in.
Objectively speaking, this man really looked good. His features were exquisite, his posture tall and straight, long legs with great body proportions, just standing there he seemed ready for a photoshoot.
Mu Yiliang looked at him for a few seconds with an appreciative gaze.
The moment he walked in, Gu Qingqian felt Mu Yiliang’s gaze on him, and he was secretly pleased.
This woman outwardly acts indifferent towards him, but she can’t help being attracted to him; she’s definitely only pretending to draw his attention!
