"Three years is thirty-six months!"

Zou Manqing counted on her fingers and muttered to herself, "Pregnancy takes ten months, and preparing and conceiving a child takes about six months."

"Conceiving is really weird. When you don't want it, you hit the target with a single shot, but when you are expecting, you miss every shot. So, six months is a reasonable time frame."

"Engagement and marriage would take about three months. And then there's another six months to get to know each other and date. Adding it all up, that's ten plus six, plus three, and another six, totaling twenty-five months."

Zou Manqing chuckled and said, "Xiuyan, you don't need to rush. You have eleven months to carefully choose a boyfriend you like, with the goal of marriage."

Meng Xiuyan said with a kind of helpless smile, "If it were as simple as you're saying, it would be great."

"It's not like there's a line of people waiting for me to choose from. I choose someone, they have to choose me too. Finding a boyfriend who mutually likes each other isn't that simple."

Zou Manqing suddenly chuckled and said, "Xiuyan, just wait!"

She turned and ran to the center of the hall, quickly pulling over two young men, one tall and one short, and shouted, "Xiuyan, these are my two cousins from the An Family. They both hinted to me that they wanted me to introduce you to them."

"I was worried you all wouldn't end up together and it might affect our relationship, so I kept putting it off."

"Xiuyan, which one of my two cousins do you find more pleasing to the eye?"

Aside from being a bit short, about one meter sixty, Meng Xiuyan had quite a nice appearance and figure.

Especially her prominent chest, which was rather eye-catching, coupled with her youthful and beautiful face, she was quite striking.

When Zou Manqing said this, the two An Family cousins immediately puffed out their chests and sucked in their bellies, either smiling slightly or looking serious, striking what they thought were the most attractive poses.

This made Lin Jie, standing to the side, feel very amused.

Meng Xiuyan glared at Zou Manqing, glanced a few times at the two An Family cousins, and blushed as she said, "Both of the An Family cousins are very outstanding."

"However, I need to explain in advance that Expert Lin said I need to have a child within three years, so..."

"So, in order to date me, you would need to get married within a year..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two An Family cousins changed.

The tall young man suddenly pushed the shorter one forward and then ran off saying, "He likes you more than I do. I'm sacrificing myself to bring you two together!"

The short young man smiled awkwardly, slowly retreating as he said, "I still want to play around for a few years, so I won't waste your precious time, sorry..."

Seeing her two cousins retreating faster than rabbits, Zou Manqing was furious and shouted at them, "Dating without the intention of marriage is just being a rogue, and you two are just rogues."

"Don't cry and beg me to introduce friends to you in the future. I'm so angry."

She turned and looked at Meng Xiuyan, whose face didn't look good, and apologized, "Xiuyan, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect them to be that kind of person."

Meng Xiuyan forced a smile and said, "It's not your fault. Actually, I also want to play for two or three more years before getting married and having kids."

She sighed and said, "Such things are up to fate..."

"Do you think I could be the one?"

A man's voice suddenly sounded beside them, and Lin Jie and the others turned to see Chen Fanzhi and An Kexin standing there.

Chen Fanzhi walked a little closer and softly said to Meng Xiuyan, "My name is Chen Fanzhi, also considered a cousin of Zou Manqing. I'm thirty-three years old and since returning home, my mother has been nagging me to quickly find a girlfriend and get married."

"Could we perhaps develop something between us?"

In terms of appearance alone, Chen Fanzhi was tall and handsome, looking quite dashing, with a considerable impact on girls who dream of love.

Meng Xiuyan looked at him dumbfounded, her face red as blood, with her mouth open, too excited to speak.

Zou Manqing, beside her, became a little anxious and urgently said, "Cousin... Brother Fanzhi, although we are considered relatives, we are the kind of relatives without blood relations, a distant connection, so..."

"You know what I mean!"

Saying this, Zou Manqing shifted her body and winked at Chen Fanzhi, sending several flirtatious glances!

Her behavior left Lin Jie a bit stunned and filled An Kexin, who witnessed the scene, with exasperation.

An Kexin came over directly, without a word, and pulled the hands of Meng Xiuyan and Chen Fanzhi together, saying, "You two, quickly go out and find a place to get to know each other."

"Cousin..."

Zou Manqing still wanted to make a case, but she was stopped by a stern look from An Kexin.

Once Chen Fanzhi and Meng Xiuyan left the banquet hall hand in hand, Zou Manqing couldn't contain her grievance any longer and said, "Before I had my eye on Lin Jie, but you blocked me."

Upon hearing this Lin Jie focused intensely on the glass of juice in his hand, as if it contained the most fascinating secrets of the world, captivating him endlessly...

Zou Manqing continued to complain, "You said Lin Jie and I were unsuitable, but then you ended up with Lin Jie yourself."

"And now, Brother Fanzhi is also very good, but you blocked me again."

"What gives you the right to do that?"

"What gives me the right?"

An Kexin huffed, "Because I know Chen Fanzhi won't like you. If you keep acting like this, you'll end up being enemies with your girlfriend."

"How do you know he won't like me? My conditions aren't any worse than Meng Xiuyan's!" Zou Manqing protested discontentedly.

An Kexin glanced at her chest disdainfully and said, "That's what you think is not lacking?"

"An Kexin, I'm really angry now."

Zou Manqing stomped her foot hard and stormed off angrily.

Lin Jie sidled up to An Kexin and worriedly asked, "Kexin, was that okay? Zou Manqing seemed genuinely upset."

An Kexin waved her hand and said, "Ignore her. She sometimes acts like a child and doesn't stay angry for more than a day. But I stopped her because Cousin really wouldn't like her."

Before Lin Jie could ask, she continued to explain, "A-Jie, let me tell you."

"This Meng Xiuyan resembles Cousin's previous girlfriend in some ways. I guess that's why Cousin stepped forward and asked Meng Xiuyan out."

Lin Jie kind of understood, guessing it was the nostalgia for first love acting up.

"Brother Jie, Brother Jie!"

At this moment, An Kemeng and Lin Miao came running over.

An Kemeng waved her phone and said, "I just got a call from Teacher Xu Bin. He said on the phone that he deeply regrets letting his selfish desires hurt his child."

"He said he will definitely seek justice for his child."
