He Jia still had the mentality of a little girl: "Dad, what on earth do you want to say? You even called me here specially. What if Sister Yan and the others come and can't find us?"
He Yuan smiled, reached out and poked her forehead, then shook his head and said, "You, you, I don't think you have grown up!"
He Jia pouted her lips and covered her head, urging him: "Dad, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm still waiting for Sister Guan Yan to come over and ask her a few questions about radio astronomy."
Dean He respected her wishes and didn't waste any more time. He told her directly: "Your aunt Qin will bring her son to have dinner with us later. What do you think?"
"What?" He Jia muttered, "Didn't I make an appointment with my aunt to have dinner together another time after we return to Beijing?"
Dean He said directly, "She called me when she came to your province and asked me to have dinner with her. I thought we would be busy in the next few days and probably wouldn't have time to have dinner with them alone, so I took advantage of tonight to invite them to come together."
"Oh." He Jia didn't seem very interested and kept looking over his shoulder towards the door, as if waiting for someone.
"You..." He Yuan knew that she was devoted to radio astronomy, so he just told her directly: "Your mother is a good friend of your Aunt Qin. She has told your mother many times that she likes you very much. Their intention is very clear, that is, they want our two families to have a closer relationship. So I asked you to come here to tell you that this meal is a bit like a blind date. You can take a good look at the child of the Qin family. If you like him, we will certainly support you. If you don't like him, your mother and I can make it clear to them. Do you understand?"
He Jia didn't understand at first, but eventually she understood. Her pretty face instantly turned red, and she felt embarrassed and angry.
"Why did you agree to the blind date on my behalf? I don't want to get married."
"Alas." Dean He sighed and said, "I mean to keep you for a few more years, but your mother disagrees because she's afraid that it'll be hard to find a girl when she's older."
He Jia stamped her feet in anger: "Then don't look for one! Who says women must get married? I can't have other pursuits?"
"Of course you can pursue other things." Dean He has only one daughter, and of course he hopes that she will inherit his career in the field of radio astronomy. However, his wife's words also made him hesitant. He looked at He Jia and said seriously: "I am not forcing you to be with anyone. If you feel uncomfortable, just have dinner together tonight, not a blind date. Also, haven't you met him? I also think he looks okay, and now he is concentrating on taking over the family company..."
He Jia covered her face to dissipate the heat and called him: "I don't like it! I don't want to get married, at least not now!"
He Yuan raised his hands and admitted defeat: "Okay, okay, I was wrong. Little girl, please stop yelling. Be careful that others hear it, it will have a bad influence on you."
"Huh~" He Jia exhaled, calmed down, looked at him and said, "Dad, I just want to make further progress in my professional field now. Go back and talk to my mom. Okay?"
When He Yuan saw the serious expression on her fair face, he softened his heart and agreed, "Okay, I'll talk to your mother when I get home. But you still have to eat tonight, no matter what we plan, you have to be polite, understand?"
