Chapter One: Why don’t we get married?

Diana sat alone in the corner of the cafe, her eyes slightly red.

My father is in the advanced stage of liver cancer and has little time left to live.

Maybe there is only one month left, or even... less.

She knew very well that her father was most concerned about two things: one was his younger brother Liam, and the other was her lifelong event.

She will take good care of her brother, but her lifelong affairs...

In order to reassure her father, she sent her information to a matchmaking agency and embarked on the road of blind dates.

The vows we made in the past have become a thing of the past, and now it seems it doesn’t matter who I marry.

"Hello, Miss Smith, sorry to have kept you waiting." After checking the photos on his phone, a man sat down opposite Diana and placed the BMW keys on the table.

"It's okay, I just got here too." Diana quickly adjusted her mood and smiled.

" Miss Smith , I have learned about your situation through the matchmaking agency. Your education and job are both quite good, and your appearance is just what I want. I am very satisfied with you." The man smiled and looked at Diana with satisfaction .

This was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen on a blind date.

She has fair skin, outstanding looks, and an elegant and refined temperament.

It is like a lotus in a bowl, quiet and beautiful, impossible to ignore.

Even though he was very picky about women, he couldn't wait to marry her home.

"Thank you!" Diana smiled back politely.

She was about to ask the man a few questions, but he spoke first.

The man said: " Miss Smith , you know my basic situation, right? I work for the Hamad family group, with a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan, a large four-bedroom apartment of 170 square meters, and a BMW car.

After we get married, your name will not be added to the house, after all, it is my pre-marital property. I believe that you are a modern woman and will not make unreasonable demands.

As for the betrothal gift, according to the market price, I will give 88,000 yuan, but now everyone brings their own.

You can choose to bring cash directly or buy it as a dowry. I personally prefer to buy it as a dowry, so that the wedding will look more grand.

I am 29 years old this year , and I am not in a hurry to have children. But you are 24 years old, and women at this age are actually not young. It is best to have children immediately after getting married. Otherwise, your figure will easily go out of shape and you will age quickly.

In addition, my family is a one-man family. If the first child is a girl, we will have to have another boy. I believe you can understand this.

Also, now that men and women are equal, supporting a family is no longer just the man's job. If you choose to work, I will ask my parents to help take care of the children , and you can come back after work to take over.

If you are willing to stay at home to take care of the children, I will give you 2,000 yuan per month for living expenses so that you won't be working in vain.

I usually work very hard, so please bear with the housework.

I am a mysophobe, and I hope my home can be kept tidy and clean at all times.

Besides, it’s not easy for my parents to raise me. Now that they are old, it’s time for them to enjoy their lives. You should be more accommodating to them.

Also, your father doesn't have a job and your brother is still young. I know that you used to spend all your salary on your mother's side.

But after marriage, I hope you can put your family first..."

Diana is usually good-tempered, but at this moment she was so angry that her chest was heaving.

What kind of weird man is this?

When it comes to earning money to support the family, men and women must be equal, and you have to take on more housework? It wasn't easy for your parents to raise you, so I grew up starving?

Is this person mentally ill? He wants to have all the good things for himself?

She suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Sorry, we are not suitable."

" I think we are quite suitable. No, Miss Smith , you don't think I am not worthy of you, do you? My salary is higher than yours, and I have a car and a house." The man frowned and looked at Diana again . She was indeed very beautiful. He said, " Miss Smith , you are indeed good-looking, but you know that a woman's youth is very short. Smart women will find a man with potential to marry while they still have their looks..."

"Heh..." A sneer suddenly came from the next table.

Attracted the attention of Diana and her blind date.

Diana 's blind date looked over with displeasure.

A handsome man in a white sweater said to the fashionable woman opposite him: "It is true that I am 28 years old and I only have a small three-bedroom apartment with a mortgage and an ordinary car. But I graduated at the age of 26 and have only worked for two years. Therefore, I do not agree with Miss Wu's statement that if you have no savings at the age of 28 , it means that your personal ability is problematic.

In addition, my monthly salary is 10,000 yuan and Ms. Wu's monthly salary is 3,000 yuan. I don't think there is anything wrong with the arrangement made by the matchmaking agency.

if Miss Wu doesn’t like me, I don’t like Miss Wu either.”

After saying that, the man stood up, turned his head and looked at Diana ’s blind date with a smile , his eyes fell on his hair, and said meaningfully: “Women’s youth is short, and men’s youth is not long either. After a few years, baldness, obesity, and greasy hair will not be missing.”

He deliberately emphasized the word "bald".

Then, he walked up to Diana, stretched out his hand and said hello: "Hello, my name is Mark. How about we go on a blind date and work out a marriage?

After I get married, I will hand over all my salary to you. I don't smoke, drink, or gamble. I will keep myself clean. I will go home and do housework after get off work. You have the final say on whether to have children or not. Your parents are my parents."

Every word seemed to be a slap in the face of Diana's blind date.

" Who are you?" Diana 's blind date was furious and wanted to fight with Mark .

"Blind date." Mark said lightly.

" Miss Smith is on a blind date with me." Diana's blind date thought Mark was too unreasonable.

Mark completely ignored him and handed a document in his hand to Diana, saying, "This is my document. How about we sit somewhere else for a while?"

Diana saw that the personal information in Mark's hand was from the same matchmaking agency as hers, and when she thought about what he had just said to his blind date, she had a rough idea in her mind.

It turns out that neither of them met the right person on blind dates. She met a weird guy, and he met a gold digger.

In fact, it’s not a bad idea to chat. Her purpose of blind dating is to find a partner with decent character and comparable conditions to her as soon as possible to marry.

So she nodded and said, "Okay."

" Miss Smith, no, isn't that too rude? We are on a blind date. If you are not satisfied with the gift, we can talk about it. If it really doesn't work, the house can be added to your name, but you have to pay the mortgage." Her blind date partner still said unwillingly .

"No, I don't plan to have children after marriage." Diana refused decisively.

When we were almost at the bar, the guy on the blind date shouted behind me, "Since the blind date didn't work out, there's no reason for me to pay for your coffee."

"I didn't plan to let you pay." Diana turned around and responded politely, preparing to scan the code at the bar to pay.

However , Mark had already scanned the code first: "I'll do it!"

After paying, he said to Diana, "Let's go."
