Chapter 541: Touched a Nerve

Daughter-in-law?

The couple’s hearts jumped.

Qiao Zhengyuan spoke first, “You have a girlfriend?”

No wonder!

When Qiao Yanjue came back earlier, they wanted to introduce him to someone, but he refused and was very determined about it.

What he meant was that he would find his own other half, not needing them to worry about it.

It had been quite the standoff at the time.

Now that he thought about it, he must have already been with someone to say something like that.

But which family’s young lady was she?

“Not yet,” Qiao Yanjue shook his head, “Working on it.”

“You have someone you like?” Liu Yiqin asked anxiously.

If he said he was working on it, that meant he already had a target. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said that.

“Hmm…”

The couple’s eyes widened.

“How come I didn’t hear you say that last time?”

“I did say that.”

“When did you say that?!”

“Didn’t I tell you guys that I would find someone I like on my own?”

The couple was speechless. Which word in that sentence meant that he had found someone he liked?!

“You guys don’t have to worry, you’ll definitely like her.”

Liu Yiqin’s heart jumped, “Who is she? What’s her personality like?”

“Which family is she from in G city?” Qiao Zhengyuan added on.

Liu Yiqin glared at him. “What, she could only be a rich young lady and not an ordinary person?”

She was a girl from an ordinary family herself. If she hadn’t been pursued by him, would she be a stepmother today?

She could have married into an ordinary family and lived a good life too!

Qiao Zhengyuan was a little embarrassed by her glare and muttered, “I- I didn’t say that! But do you think your son would look at a girl from an ordinary family?”

With Qiao Yanjue’s arrogant nature, how could an ordinary girl catch his eye?

Even the imperial capital’s princesses didn’t make him look twice, let alone ordinary girls.

“That’s true,” Liu Yiqin also agreed with him.

She knew her own son. If he was not good-looking, his foul temper wouldn’t be liked by any girls!

Even their previous attempt to introduce him to the girl from the Li family did not soften him up. Instead, he just flipped out.

Li Weiyun was one of those rare young ladies of good breeding, both talented and good-natured.

If Qiao Yanjue refused such a good girl outright, other girls would have no chance.

Thinking of this, Liu Yiqin’s face suddenly changed.

“You don’t like boys, do you?!”

“Pfft!”

On the other end of the phone, Qiao Yanjue spit up, stunned by his own mother’s divine statement.

“No way!”

Qiao Zhengyuan was also shocked.

Although he had several sons, he never thought his son would be gay!

“Mom! You’re thinking too much!” Qiao Yanjue broke out in a cold sweat. “I’m straight!”

“But you didn’t even like the Li girl…”

“I really don’t like her.” Qiao Yanjue insisted. “The person I like is better than her!”

This time, both of them were stunned.

This girl was even better than Li Weiyun? How outstanding must she be?!

“I don’t believe it!” Liu Yiqin said flatly. “Unless you bring her home!”

“There’s no rush for that.”

“It’s not because you haven’t caught her yet, is it?” she immediately asked.

Qiao Yanjue didn’t know what to say. That touched a nerve.

“Pfft! Ha ha ha!” Liu Yiqin immediately laughed. “Ouch, I can’t believe you haven’t gotten her…”

He was usually so proud, but he hadn’t gotten her yet? This was too funny!

Qiao Yanjue quickly said, “I can’t talk anymore, I have some things to do. I’ll hang up first.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

He could confirm one thing: she really was his mother!
