Very soon, Lin Fan walked in.
Gao Feiyan was beside Ruan Hongying, looking over at Lin Fan. It was evident she wanted to speak, but quickly her face turned crimson, looking very shy.
Seeing Gao Feiyan , Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a bit curious. So this girl knows how to be shy too?
Previously, Lin Fan thought Gao Feiyan was a fearless tomboy.
It turns out she has a gentle side too?
"Fan, sit down. I have something to tell you!" Ruan Hongying beckoned Lin Fan over.
Lin Fan responded and then sat down next to Ruan Hongying.
"Mother, what do you need to talk to me about?" Lin Fan asked after sitting down.
Ruan Hongying said, "Well, Fan, now that you're not young anymore, it's time to settle down!"
Lin Fan said, "Mother, there's no rush. Let's take it slow. For us cultivators, being in our twenties doesn't really mean much!"
Ruan Hongying said, "It's not young; you're really not young anymore!"
At this point, Ruan Hongying paused slightly. Before Lin Fan could say anything, she continued, "By the way, Fan, I've found a beautiful girl for you. Not only is she gentle and considerate, but she's also generous and beautiful—a perfect match for you!"
Lin Fan was a bit surprised.
Since when did his mother become a matchmaker?
Lin Fan instinctively asked, "Mother, who did you choose for me?"
Lin Fan was very curious, wondering what kind of daughter-in-law his mother would pick for him.
Ruan Hongying chuckled and said, "Fan, the person I'm introducing is right here, near yet far."
Lin Fan was shocked and immediately looked over at Gao Feiyan.
It was then that Lin Fan understood Ruan Hongying's intention.
She wanted him to be with Gao Feiyan?
As for Gao Feiyan, she lowered her head even more deeply.
Ruan Hongying continued, "So, Fan? Did the person I choose for you disappoint you?"
Lin Fan glanced at Gao Feiyan without speaking. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but with Gao Feiyan present, he found it hard.
Ruan Hongying said, "If you have something to say, just say it here, Fan!"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Fan nodded.
Lin Fan felt that some things needed to be clarified face-to-face.
Then Lin Fan said, "Mother, actually, I already like someone else!"
Ruan Hongying said, "No, I want Yan for my daughter-in-law!"
Ruan Hongying finally softened and said, "Tell me, which girl do you fancy? I'm telling you, you better hurry. I'm waiting to have grandchildren!"
Gao Feiyan also looked over at Lin Fan.
It was clear that Gao Feiyan's face was a bit gloomy, clearly in a bad mood.
However, she didn't say anything.
She was curious too, to know who Lin Fan liked.
She wanted to know who she was losing to.
Lin Fan said, "Mother, the one I like is Hu Mei'er!"
Ruan Hongying was initially stunned but quickly said, "Fan, you must be kidding. Didn't you say that in your past life, you died at her hands? Now you..."
In the past, Lin Fan had told Ruan Hongying about his past life.
But he didn't say he had seized the original Lin Fan's body through body seizing, instead claiming he was reincarnated into this life as Lin Fan.
Upon hearing that Hu Mei'er killed Lin Fan in a previous life, Ruan Hongying naturally harbored deep hatred for Hu Mei'er.
So now, upon hearing that Lin Fan liked Hu Mei'er, Ruan Hongying immediately rejected the notion, directly opposing this affection.
Lin Fan said, "Mother, I've found out that in the past life, Hu Mei'er didn't kill me. Someone else did!"
Ruan Hongying frowned slightly and asked, "Fan, tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
Lin Fan then recounted the events.
Ruan Hongying asked, "Are you sure? Was Hu Mei'er truly body-seized by someone else and acting involuntarily?"
Ruan Hongying didn't speak, seemingly deep in thought.
After a while, Ruan Hongying said, "Regardless of what happened between you and Hu Mei'er, I've chosen Yan for my daughter-in-law. If you don't marry her, I'll be very upset!" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ n0velfire.net
Lin Fan called out helplessly, trying to say more.
But Ruan Hongying waved her hand and said, "I know what you want to say, but I'm telling you, there's nothing more for you to say. I'm giving you a few days to think it over. Once you've decided, come to me, and I'll arrange for you and Yan to marry!"
Lin Fan's eyes widened.
At this point, he was utterly exasperated.
He couldn't believe how domineering his mother was!
"Yan, we're leaving!"
As Lin Fan was feeling utterly defeated, Ruan Hongying took Gao Feiyan and left, leaving Lin Fan alone there.
In the following days, Ruan Hongying didn't come looking for Lin Fan, which put him at ease. He thought maybe his mother had given up.
What Lin Fan didn't expect was that one night while he was cultivating, Ruan Hongying showed up.
Lin Fan quickly asked, "Why are you visiting so late? Is something wrong?"
Ruan Hongying said, "I'm here because of you and Yan!"
Lin Fan was even more frustrated, helplessly saying, "Mother, I really don't have feelings for Gao Feiyan, can't you stop forcing it?"
Ruan Hongying said, "Regardless, you must marry Yan!"
Lin Fan remained silent.
In such a situation, what else could he say?
Ruan Hongying looked at Lin Fan and said, "Fan, do you know why I'm insisting you marry Yan?"
"Well... I don't know!" Lin Fan shook his head and said.
Ruan Hongying said, "Fan, the reason I'm doing this is for you!"
Lin Fan was even more puzzled. How did it become about him?
