"So? Did you take a liking to my cousin?" Jie Jingchen asked teasingly.
Qin Xiang's mouth twitched. "Why are you playing matchmaker? I have no plans to get married for now."
"You're already twenty-five," Jie Jingchen reminded him.
Qin Xiang waved his hand dismissively. "What's wrong with twenty-five? I'm absolutely not getting married before I'm thirty."
Listening to Qin Xiang's bold declaration, Qin Mei strongly disapproved. People married young in this era. Waiting until thirty to even consider marriage would make their parents worry, though in later generations, it would be common to be unmarried at thirty. "If you meet the right person, you can consider getting married."
"Too bad I haven't met the right person yet." Qin Xiang spread his hands.
Qin Mei blinked. She pulled Jie Jingchen, who was standing between them, aside and leaned close to Qin Xiang to ask in a low voice, "You really didn't take a liking to Jie Jingchen's cousin?"
