Zhang Mei beamed with joy, and Li Ziyu, not forgetting to add fuel to the fire...

"Mom, Cao An bought you a gift today, and it cost him 50,000 yuan!"

"Your daughter has found a boyfriend, and he seems to be to your liking, right?"

Upon hearing Li Ziyu's words, Zhang Mei's heart also trembled violently!

Good heavens, she thought it would only be a few thousand at most...

Fifty thousand yuan is equivalent to more than two months' salary for her husband, Li Jun!

Li Jun, Li Ziyu's father, who was sitting calmly on the sofa, was also taken aback by Cao An's arrogant methods!

Startled, I jumped right up from the sofa…

He wasn't particularly interested in his boyfriend, who was eight years older than his daughter!

I took half a day off today specifically to do a thorough investigation!

They also considered that since it was their first visit today, the other party would certainly not arrive empty-handed.

I'll definitely need to buy some tobacco, alcohol, and tea, right?

I never expected them to be so extravagant right from the start!

Li Jun stood up, shocked, and then looked at Cao An's empty hands, his expression becoming quite interesting!

Damn it, all he cares about is sucking up to his mother-in-law.

My future father-in-law doesn't have a single penny to his name!

Li Jun was unhappy about this.

Zhang Mei was carrying two gift bags, her mind was blank, and her heart trembled several times!

She never dared to dream that Cao An's first visit would bring her such a big surprise...

As for not buying the man any gifts, Zhang Mei didn't care at all.

Just as Li Ziyu said, although Li Jun was the only one earning money in the family…

But Zhang Mei made all the decisions, big and small, at home!

To put it nicely, Li Jun dotes on his wife; to put it bluntly, he's a henpecked husband.

Lost in thought, he warmly welcomed Cao An inside…

Although Li Jun was feeling a bit unwell, he still managed to force a smile.

"Little Cao's here, come and sit down quickly..."

This is the status benefit that comes with a man having the ability to make a lot of money.

If Cao An were still a low-ranking official, would he dare to treat people so differently...?

Even if Li Jun is henpecked, he would never give him a kind look!

After sitting on the sofa for a while, Zhang Mei called us to eat.

At the dinner table, Zhang Mei was just as enthusiastic as another prospective mother-in-law, Zhou Xiaohui.

They kept piling food into his bowl...

I asked about Cao An's family situation. He is an only child and his parents are still alive!

Zhang Mei was even more satisfied...

"Xiao Cao, Ziyu told me you're 30 years old this year, which isn't young anymore, and you've already achieved considerable success in your career."

"Look at my daughter! She's got looks, she's got a great figure, and most importantly, she's never even had a boyfriend!"

"An absolutely innocent and virgin!"

"Your uncle and I are very satisfied with you in all aspects. How about we arrange to meet your parents, so that we, as the parents, can get to know each other..."

"If neither of you has any objections, why don't you set an auspicious date and get married soon?"

Cao An hadn't said anything after hearing Zhang Mei's words.

Li Ziyu was the first to object…

"Mom, what are you saying? Cao An and I only met yesterday, how did we get onto the topic of marriage?"

To be fair, although she had a good impression of Cao An, the two had only just met!

I haven't really gotten to know his personality or anything like that yet.

Li Ziyu still had some reservations about letting her get married like this.

As the saying goes, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are!

Zhang Mei didn't think so. A wealthy husband like Cao An...

In reality, there are too many women he's interested in!

If we don't hurry, and that little vixen seduces us, we'll have no one to blame but ourselves...

"So what if we just met?"

"If you two have feelings for each other, the sooner the better!"

"Xiao Cao, what do you think?"

After acquiring the bizarre matchmaking system, Cao An never truly considered marriage...

Even if he thought Li Ziyu was a pretty good girl, he couldn't possibly destroy his own reputation.

Without the slightest hesitation, he shook his head and said.

"Auntie, I think Xiaoyu is right. Marriage is not a game!"

"We've only just started dating, so we need to give each other some time to get to know each other better before deciding on marriage..."

"As for arranging to meet my parents, let's talk about that later!"

Cao An's words were reasonable and perfectly logical.

Zhang Mei looked somewhat disappointed, while Li Jun remained expressionless.

Li Ziyu couldn't quite describe her feelings...

Her not wanting to get married now and Cao An's unwillingness to get married now are two completely different things.

"Could it be that this guy doesn't actually like me as much as I thought?"

After this thought popped into his mind, Li Ziyu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After finishing our meal, we sat for a while.

Cao An then got up to take his leave.

Li Ziyu dropped him off at the entrance of the residential compound…

Unable to resist her curiosity, she asked, "Uncle, do you really not want to marry me now?"

Upon hearing the girl's question, Cao An's lips curled into a smile...

"Isn't this what you meant?"

"I answered that way just now because I didn't want to put you in a difficult position!"

Upon hearing this, Li Ziyu's lips twitched slightly...

"Really? I find it hard to believe!"

"If you don't believe me, let's go back to your house right now, and in front of your parents, I'll declare that I'll marry you today!"

"So... are you willing?"

Startled by Cao An's sudden outburst, Li Ziyu felt a pang of panic...

She rolled her eyes: "Hmph, you wish! I'm so young, I haven't had enough of being single yet!"

Cao An knew Li Ziyu would answer like that…

He laughed and said, "That settles it then. It's your fault for not wanting to marry me, how can you blame me?"

Hearing this, Li Ziyu felt much clearer-headed...

He chuckled and said, "Okay, it's my fault!"

"Uncle, since you don't seem to be in a rush, we can discuss marriage again in a year or two, don't you think?"

"Um... as compensation, how about I treat you to Happy Valley today?"

Cao An didn't have any blind dates scheduled for today, and since he didn't have to go to work anyway, he readily agreed.

He's lived for 30 years and has never been to an amusement park like Happy Valley even once…

It's rare to have such a beautiful woman like Li Ziyu accompanying me, so naturally I have to go and broaden my horizons!

Yuncheng Happy Valley is quite large in scale.

The theme park covers nearly 700 acres and features a variety of thrilling and exciting rides.

Upon entering, we first experienced the simplest giant Ferris wheel…

When I looked at it from below, it didn't seem like much.

I originally thought it was just little Kami!

But once they reached the top of the plane, Cao An began to regret his decision as the sedan chair swayed.

He already had a fear of heights, and with that swaying, he glanced to the side and his face turned a little pale!

Upon seeing this, Li Ziyu couldn't help but laugh so hard her body trembled...

"Hehehe, uncle, I thought you were omnipotent!"

"I didn't know you were afraid of heights?"
