Chapter 191: Criteria for Choosing a Partner
Chapter 191: Criteria for Choosing a Partner
"What are you curious about?" Song Miqiu tilted her head, meeting his gaze with a puzzled look.
Seeing the shyness and caution in Yu Huailin's eyes, Song Miqiu suddenly felt a pang of guilt. She swallowed hard, but did not speak. Instead, she waited quietly for him to speak.
What are your requirements for a man?
Song Miqiu paused, not realizing that Yu Huailin had asked that question. She thought for a moment and then explained it to him using modern standards.
"First of all, he must have a lot of money. After all, money is needed everywhere these days. Besides, people will always complain that they don't have enough money. So, a husband should either be able to make a lot of money or have a large sum of money himself."
As she spoke, Song Miqiu began waving her hands to describe the amount of money she imagined.
Upon hearing this label, Yu Huailin felt a surge of joy; the amount of money he received was perfect for him!
After all, the fact that he casually gave Tian Yumei and Qiu Tianlei a sum of money for their business opening was a good example.
Being with him, he can guarantee Song Miqiu a life free from worries about food and clothing, while also enabling her to achieve financial freedom and have money to squander!
Yu Huailin continued to ask, "Since you've already said 'first,' what about the others?"
"Good-looking".
Song Miqiu emphasized these three words, determined to find a handsome man in the future and have a child with excellent genes for good looks with her husband.
After all, with her looks and figure, plus her current status as an imperial physician, she refused to believe she couldn't find a handsome man.
If I were to find an extremely ugly man, putting aside everything else, just the thought of looking at him and doing what a husband and wife should do, sharing a bed with him, is something I simply cannot accept.
If she were to find an extremely ugly man, she might as well stay single for life. After all, she could earn her own money and spend it all herself. It might be a little tiring sometimes, but it wouldn't matter.
As long as I'm happy, that's all that matters.
Song Miqiu thought that these two points were enough, but then she saw Yu Huailin looking at her with bright eyes.
"That's all?"
Yu Huailin frowned slightly. In the capital, there are plenty of good-looking and rich men. If Song Miqiu only has these two requirements, how can he be sure that he can catch up with Song Miqiu in the vast sea of people?
Thinking of this, he looked at the other person, determined to get Song Miqiu to explain all her criteria for choosing a spouse.
"Two points aren't enough?" Song Miqiu exclaimed in surprise. Just as she was about to lash out, a cup of tea and a plate of snacks appeared in front of her.
The words she was about to say to someone caught in her throat and she couldn't utter them.
Song Miqiu happily ate the pastries, only then realizing that they were actually her favorites.
The sweet taste lingered on her taste buds, and Song Miqiu hummed in delight, eating with great pleasure. Her eyes crinkled into crescents, oblivious to how out of place her current appearance made her pose and posture seem.
But in Yu Huailin's eyes, it was excellent.
He knew Song Miqiu's true appearance. Every time he looked at the human skin mask on Song Miqiu's face, it was as if he could see directly through the human skin mask to the true face hidden by it.
Seeing Song Miqiu enjoying her meal, Yu Huailin felt relieved. He smiled faintly, and seeing that Song Miqiu was about to choke, he didn't have time to urge her to reveal other criteria for choosing a partner. He quickly handed her the teacup so that she could calm down before answering his question.
Song Miqiu puffed out her cheeks and drooped her chest. It took her a while to calm down. She took a deep breath, looked up at Yu Huailin, and said with a smile, "If it weren't for you, I would have passed out in one breath!"
As she spoke, Song Miqiu pretended to almost pass by, which amused Yu Huailin.
Seeing that Song Miqiu had almost finished eating, the other party immediately urged her to inquire about other criteria for choosing a spouse.
Looking into Yu Huailin's beautiful eyes, Song Miqiu subconsciously lowered her eyes, not daring to meet his gaze.
After a moment of thought, she gave her answer: "Besides being rich and good-looking, I think it's also important to be an orphan! That way, there will be less tension between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after marriage."
Song Miqiu thought of how many mothers-in-law in the capital would mistreat their newlywed daughters-in-law, leading to constant arguments and insults. The thought filled her with dread, and she vowed never to become one of them.
However, it's incredibly difficult to avoid arguing with your mother-in-law unless she's a reasonable person who won't deliberately make things difficult, or your own family is extremely powerful.
Only when the maternal clan is strong will the mother-in-law not be bullied.
"Anything else?!"
Every time Song Miqiu spoke, the light in Yu Huailin's eyes brightened a little more. He hadn't expected that every word Song Miqiu spoke seemed to be describing him.
"And..." Song Miqiu pondered for a moment before stating her last two criteria for choosing a partner, "and someone who is assertive and not clingy."
After all, a head of a household cannot be without his own opinions.
It's impossible for a woman to always be at the forefront. If that were the case, what would she need a partner for? She could do it all on her own.
If someone lacks assertiveness and is clingy, Song Miqiu will definitely suffer terribly.
She herself is not a clingy person. If she encounters a clingy person, she will have to take that person with her every day. She doesn't know if others will find it annoying, but she herself will become extremely irritable.
"These are probably all my criteria for choosing a partner." Song Miqiu looked up, thought carefully, and realized there were no other criteria.
Listening to Song Miqiu's description, Yu Huailin secretly rejoiced.
He didn't realize that every standard Song Miqiu mentioned was directed at him.
If he wanted to pursue Song Miqiu now, wouldn't it be incredibly easy?!
Thinking of this, Yu Huailin felt a little excited. He watched Song Miqiu eat the pastries he had given her with her eyes downcast. His face slowly approached hers, and before she could react, Yu Huailin's face was almost touching Song Miqiu's.
The latter sensed something was wrong, slowly raised his eyes, and saw this scene.
She was startled and took a step back, but she didn't expect that she was sitting on a wooden stool. Song Miqiu's foot slipped, her bottom lost its footing, and she fell heavily to the ground.
"what--"
Yu Huailin's pupils suddenly contracted. There were steps behind Song Miqiu, and if he hit his head, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He quickly stood up, reached out and grabbed the other person's collar, the veins on his arm bulging, which prevented Song Miqiu from falling to the ground.
But the two of them stood there in a very strange posture. Song Miqiu turned his head to look behind him and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
When she looked away from Yu Huailin, her gaze involuntarily drifted to the spot where he was clutching her collar.
Following his grasping motion, Song Miqiu saw directly what was inside her clothes. Her face flushed red, she screamed, quickly sat up straight, and forcefully hit Yu Huailin's arm to make him release her clothes.
