章 1999: He's a Bushy Beard!

Duan Yue nearly bolted up from his chair when he heard this. He grasped his mother's hand desperately and argued, "Mom, don't randomly start matchmaking for your son! With my age, your son can only be considered a baby in this Ultramarine Province!"

Noble Consort Duan nearly burst into laughter, and she swatted the back of her son's head. "Nonsense!"

"Mom, your son's every sentence is true. Look at Eldest Brother. He's almost 40, yet he still hasn't married or had children. Why the rush?"

"But your eldest brother already has a fiancée. How about you?" Noble Consort Duan asked gently, "Ah-Yue, tell Mom. Do you… have someone you like?"

"What do you mean!" Duan Yue tucked a strand of hair behind his ear and held his mom's hands, saying, "Mom, if I do have someone I like, how would I not tell you."

"A son escapes his mother's supervision once he grows up. Don't keep saying these things to trick me! I have a feeling that my son has someone he likes."
