Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 2322 - 2326: As Long as He’s a Man, Whether He’s a Foreigner or an Alien

"If you’ve got time to kill, why not go on a date?" Li Hui shot her a look, "What? No man asks you out to dinner? You have to scrounge meals at home?"

Nangong Lin: "..."

"Mom, are you even my real mother?" Nangong Lin was disgruntled, "I’m just home for a meal, is it really that big of a deal!"

"Why wouldn’t it be a big deal?" Li Hui widened her eyes, "Girl, in two months, you’ll be twenty-eight. How could it not be a big deal? Why come home for dinner when you could be going on more dates with men, maybe you’d meet someone you like? Don’t always set the bar so high!"

"I can’t exactly pick a dud." Nangong Lin pursed her lips.

"With your standards, every man in the Empire seems like a dud!" Li Hui rolled her eyes again.

"Look at you." Nangong Lin chuckled, "Oh come on, I’m here because I miss you and wanted to have a meal with you. Let’s not talk about this, come on, cheer up."

"I’m not joking with you." Li Hui continued angrily, "Look, Xiaojin and Xiaoran are both married with kids now, and it’s just you and your brother left. You’re not getting any younger. Do you think I, as your mother, wouldn’t worry? No matter how beautiful a woman is, she can’t escape aging or loneliness. Having someone care for you is always good!"

Care for her?

Nangong Lin’s eyes dimmed a bit, she slowly picked up her chopsticks, and couldn’t help but say, "Mom, what do you think about me finding a foreign boyfriend?"

"What?!" Li Hui pounced forward in surprise, "Are you saying you have a boyfriend? And he’s a foreigner!"

"Not yet, not yet, Mom, calm down, don’t shake!" Nangong Lin shouted, "I was just talking casually."

"As long as it’s a man, who cares if he’s foreign or an alien!" Li Hui said excitedly, "You ought to bring someone home for your mom!"

Nangong Lin: "..."

Geez, Mom, your taste is way too broad, your conditions are so relaxed, it’s like you’re getting rid of me rather than marrying me off!

"Who’s the guy?" Li Hui asked hurriedly, "Is he someone you fancy? Tell me about him, and I’ll give you some advice."

Nangong Lin looked at Li Hui.

"What are you staring at me for, just tell me!" Li Hui was getting anxious.

Nangong Lin thought for a moment, finally gathered the courage and spoke, "What if he’s a prince?"

"What?" Li Hui was taken aback, her eyes almost bulging out, she immediately got excited and delighted, "Holy crap, a prince! That’s awesome! I knew my daughter wouldn’t go for an average Joe, turns out he’s a prince, what country’s prince?"

Nangong Lin didn’t say anything.

Li Hui suddenly had a bright idea, "Hey, are you talking about Alvin?"

Currently, the only prince she knows is Alvin, and isn’t Alvin the one who has a decent relationship with the Nangong family?

Nangong Lin still didn’t respond, thinking she must have been out of her mind to tell Li Hui about this.

"No, no." Nangong Lin quickly denied, "I was just giving an example, don’t take it seriously."

"Hmm?" Li Hui frowned, and exploded again, "You little rascal, are you playing with me? Which part is true and which part is false? You’re not really with Alvin, are you..."

"No, no, I was just randomly blabbering." Nangong Lin quickly laughed, "Just made it up."

"Really?" Li Hui blinked, thought for a moment, then said, "Sweetheart, at Xiaoran and Mingchen’s wedding last time, Alvin’s mother told me."

"Alvin’s mother?" Nangong Lin’s eyes widened, "What did Alvin’s mother say to you?"

"She said she really likes you and wants you as her daughter-in-law." Li Hui answered earnestly.

Nangong Lin was stunned for a moment.

Her thoughts couldn’t quite wrap around it, recalling everything, she suddenly fell silent, unable to utter a word.

So Alvin wasn’t lying to her, it was the queen’s idea all along, that’s why he moved next door to her?
