Chapter 919: Chapter 919: [Extra] No, No, No, I’m Not Worthy
"I just saw you talking with my young uncle, what were you two chatting about?"
Tang Dou was immediately questioned by Sheng Ning’an as soon as she returned to the living room.
"Not much."
Tang Dou hadn’t yet recovered her composure from the nervousness of Sheng Yeli initiating a conversation with her, her heart was still beating a little fast. Being unexpectedly questioned by Sheng Ning’an made her inexplicably guilty.
Thinking of that figure from earlier, Tang Dou couldn’t help but cough lightly and probed, "Your young uncle is almost thirty, right? Do you think he hasn’t found a girlfriend because there’s some hidden health issue?"
The last person suspected of having health issues was Xu Weiran.
As for the outcome, it was as expected.
But Sheng Ning’an knew the answer to this one.
"Don’t worry, everyone in our family gets a physical check-up every year. My young uncle is in great health." She wasn’t sure about other things, but she was certain that her young uncle’s health was just fine.
At most, there might be some residual effects from childhood autism.
He doesn’t like interacting with people.
"Could it be that he doesn’t like girls?" Tang Dou looked at that figure in the distance, curious about who could be with him.
Seeing this girl taking the initiative to inquire about her young uncle’s affairs, Sheng Ning’an’s smile couldn’t help but take on a bit of a gossip flavor.
Suddenly she felt that these two might not be completely without any potential.
"You want to know? Should I ask for you?" Sheng Ning’an teased as if she was going to call Sheng Yeli over.
Tang Dou hurriedly covered her mouth.
"Cough, I was just saying. Please don’t ask. What if your young uncle is just focused on his career and not in a hurry to get married and have children? It would be so impolite to ask."
And who asks these sorts of things directly?
If he found out that she was instigating Sheng Ning’an to ask, how awkward would that be?
Sheng Ning’an brushed off her hand and said with a mischievous smile, "Don’t worry, I was just teasing you. I’ve already asked him about this, and my young uncle’s preferences are perfectly normal. He just hasn’t met someone he likes yet."
"Oh, you’re just trying to scare me," Tang Dou realized she had been tricked and raised her hand as if to tickle her.
"Young uncle..." Sheng Ning’an immediately cried out for help.
Hearing her call for someone, Tang Dou immediately froze, especially feeling the gaze from behind. She let go of Sheng Ning’an and sat properly, pretending nothing had happened.
Sheng Ning’an increasingly felt that this girl was acting strangely and raised an eyebrow at her, "Honestly, are you really not interested in my young uncle?"
"Cough, don’t talk nonsense, it’s not about whether I’m interested or not. He’s our young uncle, we’re a generation apart. Besides, does it matter if I’m interested?" Speaking as if her interest could really lead to something.
Besides, she wouldn’t dare!
"How does it not matter? If you just say you want to be my young aunt, I, as your sister, will help you win him over."
Why should the good stuff go to outsiders? Such a great guy like her young uncle should obviously be kept for a good friend like her.
"No, no, no, I’m not worthy." Tang Dou shook her head repeatedly.
She had self-awareness; whether it was family background, looks, or education, she didn’t feel worthy of him at all.
Evening dinner was eaten at the Sheng Family, with the entire family present across three generations, creating a lively scene.
Tang Dou really liked this kind of family atmosphere at the Sheng Family.
A harmonious and warm family.
Unlike her own home, where most of the time, it was just her and the housekeeper.
Always cold and quiet.
