Huo Zihang had a look of bewilderment on his face and he wondered, 'Is there any direct relation between matchmaking and liking small animals?'
"I don't."
Chen Ziqiu was stunned. 'Don't they all say that men like kindhearted women?' She was planning to carry on the conversation after he asks her if she had a pet or not.
"Haha, is that so? I thought someone like you would like dogs or other pets, Third Young Master."
"What do you mean someone like me? Have you ever seen any pet lovers like me?"
He indeed didn't dislike pets but would he let her have what she wanted.
Of course not.
'Although she's a little pretentious, she was at least a delicate little beauty after all. What's up with Huo Zihang's attitude?'
Yan Jinyi extended her leg to kick him hard. "Miss Chen, you don't have to mind. Huo Zihang is just like that. He's always so vague with his words. Just continue."
Chen Ziqiu nodded. Seeing that the cup of tea in front of Huo Zihang was empty, she refilled it with some tea and asked, "Third Young Master, have you thought of how many children you want? I don't know if you prefer boys or girls but I'd like to have a daughter because girls are more caring. We're in modern society now and favoritism toward males is declining."
At this point, Chen Ziqiu said with a longing gaze, "Of course, I would prefer to have a son and a daughter in the future, preferably a son first so that he can protect his younger sister. Don't you agree, Third Young Master Huo?"
'We barely know each other and she's talking about having children with me?'
'Girl, I'm afraid you're thinking too much.'
Huo Zihang was sincere about his answer. "Miss Chen, I'm very sorry but I've always disliked children since a young age and I've never thought of having children in the future. Children are a huge burden in my opinion and I don't even want one, let alone two. It seems that I can't fulfill your wishes, Miss Chen. Why don't we just..."
Chen Ziqiu quickly interrupted, "It's okay, if you don't like children, I can choose to remain childless."
Chen Ziqiu's parents also chimed in in agreement, "Yes, yes, people these days are more open-minded and there are plenty of couples everywhere who don't want to have children. Ziqiu has an older brother and we don't necessarily need Ziqiu to have children. Third Young Master Huo, if you're against it, you two can just remain childless."
Huo Zihang pinched the middle of his brows. That was the reason that he used to only date models, celebrities, or influencers.
Wealthy families like the Chens were usually very difficult to shake off.
'This is only our first blind date and she's already talking to me about the future.'
He looked at Yan Jinyi with a pleading gaze, only to see that she was looking down at her mobile phone. She was actually giving the Huo siblings a live coverage of the situation.
[Yan Jinyi: This Miss Chen is really amazing. She has already thought of how many children she wants to give Huo Zihang.]
[Huo Qingyuan: Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, what did Zihang say in response to her question?]
Yan Jinyi initially wanted to tease Huo Zihang and it happened that Chen Ziqiu asked whether or not the Huo Family would mind it if they chose to remain childless.
Subsequently, Yan Jinyi blurted before she could even think through her words carefully, "He is infertile."
Huo Zihang's face turned pale.
An awkward tension arose as the atmosphere became bizarre. Chen Ziqiu's family sat dumbfounded in place while their eavesdropping relatives also looked over with their eyes filled with astonishment.
She paused while tapping her fingers on the screen of her cell phone and Yan Jinyi raised her head. Blinking in confusion, she said, "Uh... lots of Huo Zihang's ex-girlfriends have showed up at our home and claimed that they were pregnant with his child but it turned out that none of those babies were biologically fathered by him."
"…"
Huo Zihang thought, 'Second Sister-in-law, you swindler! You maligned me!'
Chen Ziqiu's father first coughed violently before saying with a smile, "It's alright, since you two plan to remain childless, being infertile won't be an issue. Besides, Ziqiu's mother and I both hope that she will marry a good man.. All that matters is that her future husband will treat her well."
