Qin Miaomiao immediately admitted her mistake: "I misspoke. My Ninth Uncle is handsome, suave, charming—like a pear blossom leaning elegantly on a crabapple! Looking at the whole world, who could possibly match up to my Ninth Uncle? Right? So, Xiao Chen, you should aim to be like Ninth Uncle. Even if you want to remain single, at least finish exploring the flower fields first. Sample the world's women, then if you still want to be single, it won't be too late."
Mr. Jiu glanced at her lightly: "Me, exploring flower fields? Hm? Little Jin'er, you really must think life's gotten too comfortable for you."
"Ninth Uncle, I'm teaching Xiao Chen a lesson here. He can't follow the same old path as you. Do you know how many people are begging to be my godmother? Yet you don't even have a single female creature near you. If you actually liked men, I'd be okay with that too."
He tapped her forehead lightly with a finger and chuckled:
"What, are you trying to bait me into saying something?"
