Finally, the conversation turned to my marriage.
"Shan Shan, you're not getting any younger; you should start thinking about your lifelong commitment," my aunt said.
"How about I introduce you to a boyfriend?"
I felt a bit embarrassed. "Aunt, I'm still young."
Aunt Zhou pretended to be angry. "How can you say you're still young at your age?"
My mom chimed in from the side, "That's right, Shan Shan. You're not a child anymore; it's time to find a boyfriend."
"Look at Aunt Zhou's son; he's three years older than you and goes to the same school."
"Do you want to meet him?"
As she spoke, she looked at Aunt Zhou.
"Mother-in-law, what do you think?"
Aunt Zhou was quite pleased with my mom's response.
"Sounds good! When can we arrange for them to meet?"
I couldn't take it anymore.
"Mom, I still have work to do."
My mom paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Oh, my memory!"
Aunt Zhou understood what my mom meant and joined in the laughter.
"Alright, alright, we'll talk about this later."
I sat there, completely bewildered.
It wasn't until I left the hospital that I finally understood what they had been laughing about.
It turned out that Aunt Zhou's son is Chen Kun!
Chen Kun is three years older than me and goes to the same school.
I had a crush on him back in high school, and we ended up at the same university.
However, he was so busy with his entrepreneurial ventures during college that he rejected all the advances from girls.
After graduation, he devoted himself entirely to his company, leaving him without any female companionship.
As a result, everyone assumed he was gay.
But only I knew he wasn't.
Because we had dated for six months during college.
Our relationship had always been kept under wraps.
We didn't want too many people interfering in our lives.
But ultimately, we broke up.
The reason was that on his birthday, I saw him kissing another guy.
And that guy was Dong Yi.
Ever since she found out about my crush on Chen Kun, my mom has been subtly pushing for me to be with him.
She even suggested that I move in with him.
But at that time, Chen Kun was already with Dong Yi. How could I possibly interfere in their relationship?
So I found an excuse to refuse my mother's arrangement.
Until one day, Dong Yi approached me and revealed that he and Chen Kun were actually cousins.
"Come in."
Chen Kun sat in his office chair, putting down the pen he had been holding.
I stood before him, trembling and afraid to speak.
"Are you worried about something lately?"
Chen Kun glanced at me.
My heart tightened.
Could it be that he knew I was aware of his relationship with Dong Yi?
That couldn't be; I hadn't shown any signs of abnormality.
Perhaps he was testing me.
"No... not really."
"Really?"
Chen Kun's gaze was too piercing; I couldn't meet his eyes.
"But... you've been acting strangely lately."
I clenched my fists, unable to respond.
"You stared at me for quite a while during the meeting. Is there something you're dissatisfied with?"
I hurriedly shook my head. "No, no."
"Then why have you been staring at me?"
"I..."
I stammered, unable to articulate a reason.
Surely I couldn't say it was because you were good-looking that I was looking at you, right?
"Xiao Li, I know you take your work seriously, but there should be a limit to that seriousness."
"With the frequent personnel changes in the company, if you don't step up your game, it will be easy for someone to replace you."
I quickly nodded.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"President Chen, I understand."
Chen Kun finally nodded in satisfaction.
"Then you can leave now."
I felt as if I had been granted a reprieve and turned to walk towards the door.
Just then, I heard footsteps behind me.
Before I knew it, a pair of large hands grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
