After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1454 1453: Extra Story

As a result of Jiang Shuqin's insistence, and Mrs. Jiang's agreement, it wasn't long before Jiang Shuqin began her blind dates.

On Sunday, Mrs. Jiang took Jiang Shuqin to meet her blind date.

The introducer was a colleague of Mrs. Jiang, and the person introduced to Jiang Shuqin was a rather attractive man from out of town—no way out, people from the same circle mostly knew Ou Cong, and they all assumed they were a couple back then.

So, Mrs. Jiang and the introducer could only look to outsiders.

Fortunately, this was Capital City, where many talented people worked, so the selection was still quite vast.

"Hello, my name is Chen Dong, you can call me Xiao Chen." Upon meeting Jiang Shuqin and the others, Xiao Chen appeared quite confident and poised.

Mrs. Jiang glanced over at Xiao Chen, thinking he was rather decent, then nodded and said, "Hmm, hello Xiao Chen, this is my daughter, Shuqin, Jiang Shuqin."

"Hello, Miss Jiang!" Xiao Chen immediately said upon seeing Jiang Shuqin.

Jiang Shuqin was genuinely there for the blind date, so she earnestly evaluated Xiao Chen.

This Xiao Chen, judging by height, wasn't as tall as Ou Cong, and naturally not as good-looking as Ou Cong, but he appeared quite refined, and was also a college graduate as she'd heard.

These days, college graduates are still considered quite prestigious, unlike Ou Cong, who relied on some family background and a bit of cleverness, so he didn't attend university.

Of course, it's also because Ou Cong was too foolish to pass the entrance exams.

Jiang Shuqin might not even realize she was constantly comparing Xiao Chen to Ou Cong in her assessment.

"Hello, Xiao Chen." Jiang Shuqin also responded confidently.

Her first impression of Xiao Chen was barely acceptable.

The two young people were both interested, and soon, Mrs. Jiang and the introducer left the restaurant, allowing the two to chat.

"Miss Jiang, I heard you used to be a student at Kyoto University?" Xiao Chen said, "Miss Jiang, you're really impressive. I actually wanted to apply to Kyoto University back then, but missed by two points..."

As he said this, Xiao Chen's face showed a look of regret.

Jiang Shuqin just smiled slightly, without responding.

And Xiao Chen didn't seem to be expecting an answer from Jiang Shuqin, as he continued, "But, Miss Jiang, I have a question I'm not sure if I should ask..."

Even though Xiao Chen was saying "not sure if I should ask," he didn't wait for Jiang Shuqin's response, and continued, "I see that you look quite lively, and you're a university graduate. I hope you don't mind me asking, why haven't you gotten married at your age?"

Needless to say, Jiang Shuqin, who originally had a decent impression of Xiao Chen, immediately frowned slightly upon hearing his question.

Was this Xiao Chen... disapproving of her age???

Just because of this one question, Jiang Shuqin was ready to dismiss him.

However, out of courtesy to the introducer, Jiang Shuqin didn't say much and simply responded calmly, "It's nothing, just some personal reasons."

This reply was clearly indicating her unwillingness to answer.

However, as if Xiao Chen didn't understand her cues, he said, "Miss Jiang, please don't be angry. I'm not insisting on this question, it's just your age... you know, it's different for girls and boys. Miss Jiang, your age is comparatively late for marriage among women, so I was just a bit curious."
