The random passerby I married is the world's richest man!

Chapter 9: Criteria for choosing a spouse

Zhen Zhen was already under heavy pressure, but Huo Xiang was very cooperative.

"Uncle Bai, if I had a girlfriend, how could she not have come visit me after so many days?" Huo Xiang said.

Father Bai nodded and laughed cheerfully, seemingly very happy: "I guess you don't."

Bai Zhen Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The other person didn't have a girlfriend, was it good for you to laugh so happily?!

"So, what kind of girl do you like ah? What do you think of our family's Zhen Zhen?" Father Bai asked the question Bai Zhen Zhen least wanted to hear.

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "I want to complain."

—System: "Host, please say."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "Doesn't Father Bai love his daughter the most? One minute ago, didn't he solemnly made a vow of letting her daughter find a man who will treat her well?! Why does he now suddenly want to marry his daughter to a stranger he knows for not even three days?!"

—System: "Maybe… this is fate. Fate is such a wonderful thing."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "……"

In order to not let Huo Xiang talk nonsense, Bai Zhen Zhen gave him an "I'm not easy to mess with" glare.

Huo Xiang deliberately raised his eyebrows, and then said to Father Bai: "I ah, I like girls with a round face, big eyes, and a small mouth, of petite stature."

"Aiyo, round face, small mouth… petite…" Father Bai was a bit surprised, but still pretended to smile naturally. "You have good sight, this kind of girl is very cute, would match very well with you."

Bai Zhen Zhen also smiled at Huo Xiang, her smile was pleased and delighted.

On the one hand, it was because the points Huo Xiang described, apart from "big eyes", the others perfectly avoided her current "default settings."

On the other hand, it was because, in the real world, she was 1.60 m high, with a round face and a small cherry mouth. She could not help but say that this passerby had really good taste!

"It looks like our family's Zhen Zhen is not your type ah…" there was a bit of disappointment in Father Bai's words.

"Zhen Zhen is indeed a beautiful girl, if I were to run into such a pretty girl on ordinary days, I wouldn't dare step forward and talk to her." Huo Xiang started his flattering mode.

"Of course…." Hearing his daughter being praised, Father Bai's expression looked proud, but he still was a little worried.

"Actually, it's also no good that she is so pretty, everyone thinks our family's Zhen Zhen already has a boyfriend, or feel that her requirements must be very high, so they don't dare pursue her…"

"Qi~" Yang Suping let out a disdainful laugh.

Father Bai didn't reproach her, which made Bai Zhen Zhen really puzzled. His second wife mocked his own daughter the whole day, yet he just watched like this? What about the character that loved his daughter?!

This book's characters had really weird settings, so scary.

"You said so much, yet I still don't know which type of boy Zhen Zhen likes ah?" Huo Xiang unexpectedly asked.

Father Bai was also awakened by Huo Xiang's words, agreeing hurriedly: "Yes ah, Zhen Zhen, what kind of boyfriend are you looking for ah?"

Bai Zhen Zhen smiled awkwardly: "Dad, let's talk about something else, ok?"

"Ai, every time we mention this topic you're always mumbling!" Father Bai was a bit upset. "If you don't marry one day, my heart will not be at peace! This disease ah, it's difficult to get better…"

"Aiya, in the end, fate will come naturally!" In order to get through this hurdle successfully, Bai Zhen Zhen had no choice but to act spoiled.

Father Bai let out a sigh, not saying anything.

—System: "Host, please pay attention to your character settings."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "?"

—System: "Kind and honest behavior, in particular, extremely filial to your father."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "So what? To be filial, do I have to answer their questions yes or yes?"

—System: "Host, you misunderstood. The system is reminding you to fulfill your father's wish as soon as possible and come back with a boyfriend."

—Bai Zhen Zhen: "……"

"Dad, it's almost time for dinner. I'll go out to buy you something to eat."

Yang Suping stood up quickly: "I'll go with you."

Bai Zhen Zhen glanced at Yang Suping.

She roughly knew what this stepmother was thinking.

Wrapped food wasn't as tasty as eating on the spot after all, not to mention, if she didn't go out, she could only be stuffed in the ward taking care of her dad.

"You can stay here and take care of dad, he's just had his surgery, there can't be any mishaps." Bai Zhen Zhen refuses her stepmother's request without the slightest hesitation.

"Isn't there Xiao Huo to look after him…" Yang Suping winked at Huo Xiang.

Huo Xiang suddenly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and said, "Aunt Yang, it's not safe going outside so late, how about you stay here to look after Uncle Bai. I will go with Zhen Zhen to buy food, this way I can protect her."

Yang Suping didn't have enough time to say "No," as Father Bai had already given Huo Xiang a thumbs up: "It's still Xiao Huo that is considered and thoughtful ah."

Bai Zhen Zhen looked at Huo Xiang, praise on her face, and parroted: "It's still Xiao Huo that is considered and thoughtful ah."

"Let's go," Huo Xiang said.

As soon as his voice came out, a burst of uniform footsteps sounded outside the door.

Bai Zhen Zhen was close to the door. She stuck her head out towards the corridor, and was astonished to find several men clad in black holding wooden trays that were walking towards her direction. The things set on the wooden trays were made of stainless steel covered with a glass lid, and looked like dishes.

"What, what are you doing…" Bai Zhen Zhen's tongue was tied in a knot.

The men in black entered into the ward one by one. They spread small and big dishes over the common table that was in the room. Bai Zhen Zhen looked through the glass lid on top, and sure enough , there was steaming food inside, all kinds of exotic delicacies.

The table was too small, and there was no more room after putting on four or five dishes.

The men in black stood on the corridor on standby. Then, under the attentive eyes of the men in black and the ward's patients, Leng Hao Chen came in with Michael in tow.

"Aiyo, big boss, you're here again ah!" When Yang Suping saw Leng Hao Chen, she was as happy as if she'd seen a one-hundred-yuan bill.

Leng Hao Chen ignored her and walked straight to Bai Zhen Zhen, and said in a neither warm nor cold tone: "After eating, move to another ward."

The president spoke in such a concise way that Michael, who was at the side, had to act as a translator: "Miss Bai, boss meant that he has reserved a VIP ward for your father, which is being cleaned at the moment. Once we're done with the meal, you can comfortably move in."

Huo Xiang looked Leng Hao Chen up and down with great interest, and asked Yang Suping in a whisper: "Aunt Yang, this is the big boss you spoke of?"

Yang Suping nodded like grinding garlic(1), with excitement all over her face.

Bai Zhen Zhen was really confused by this move of Leng Hao Chen. She frowned and asked him: "Why are you helping my father change the ward? Didn't I say I don't want to be your secretary and I also don't need your help?"

Leng Hao Chen raised the corner of his mouth with a devilish smile: "He, is this your game? Deceive me first to come over and then act surprised?" He spoke and then his body leaned close to Bai Zhen Zhen, cornering her body against the wall.

"Say, do you still think this way is more fun? En?"

Bai Zhen Zhen felt frustrated. She had stayed for two consecutive days in the hospital, how could she "deceive" him?!!

Leng Hao Chen extended his arm as if to "kabedon" Bai Zhen Zhen, when suddenly a hand stretched out and unexpectedly clutched his wrist.
