And yet, you didn’t consider this reason?
He couldn’t digest the matter for half the day.
"Sister-in-law, do you mean to say that when Comrade Wang said that, he was rejecting me?"
Yun Xiaoxiao gently explained, "I am not the person you were matched with for the blind date today, and this is just my speculation. If someone is interested, they would usually take the next step, like going to the movies, where many men and women comrades go."
Zhao Tianhe let out a long sigh, "I knew it, the comrade lady is very beautiful, different from how the sister-in-law is beautiful."
Different from her beauty.
Why compare her to you?
She wasn’t the pure and innocent type either.
There are many types of girls.
The cute ones, the ones with baby faces.
The mature, sophisticated ones.
The cool and glamorous ones.
The pure, bright moonlight ones.
"If there’s no interest, then there’s no interest."
Yun Xiaoxiao offered a word of consolation, "Everyone’s fate is different, maybe your destined one has not yet arrived?"
"Let’s eat, let’s eat."
Only after they left for night school did Zhao Tianlei come up close to ask, "Wife, I feel like there’s something you haven’t mentioned?"
That he noticed right away.
"I suspect, and I’m only suspecting, that this comrade lady demanded Xiao He to marry within a month because I suspect she might be making him a happy father-to-be. This is just my suspicion, without proof yet; I don’t know the truth, and perhaps I am overthinking it."
Seeing his wife repeat several times that she was only suspecting,
Zhao Tianlei also hadn’t considered this possibility?
It seemed he had underestimated human nature.
Suddenly, he remembered the woman from the neighboring brigade who had married into her husband’s family and given birth to a child less than a month later. The midwife even said the child was exceptionally well-nurtured, not seeming like it was born prematurely, and the in-laws proudly claimed it was because of their good care.
Could it be possible that this woman had made someone else a joyful father?
Probably he was overthinking it, right?
"Aren’t they afraid of being discovered?"
Yun Xiaoxiao wanted to blurt out a sarcastic comment: In this era, many people don’t even know about DNA testing, so how would they know if the child is theirs or not?
She then remembered a video she had seen online where a man had been married to his wife for sixteen years, with three kids, but not one of them was his. His wife even said it didn’t matter whether the children were biologically his, they would still recognize him as their father.
The man was almost driven to despair, for if even one child had been his, he wouldn’t have been so devastated.
Three children, three!
"How would I know about this? I think we still need to ask the matchmaker. Why don’t you let Xiao He inquire about Auntie Wang?"
Yun Xiaoxiao then remembered something else, "You should ask Xiao Yang if he has any thoughts about Ruoruo. Ruoruo has come over for dinner several times, and they look at each other and then don’t look at each other?"
There’s such a thing?
He really didn’t know that.
Zhao Tianlei took both matters to heart and asked about them early in the morning.
"Third Brother, I’ll go ask Auntie Wang and see. Since she’s the matchmaker, she must know the situation."
Dealing with Xiao He might be easy, but handling Xiao Yang’s situation was not that simple.
"Xiao Yang, do you have someone you like?"
Zhao Tianlei knew that there were quite a few female comrades at their garment factory, and Fang Chaoyang was considered a top eligible bachelor at the factory, with many aunties and mothers eager to introduce him to someone. Yet, Fang Chaoyang had turned them all down.
"I heard from your sister-in-law that you seem to have a special regard for Du Ruo."
