Chapter 284: Match Up

"Hey dude, why did you call me here? It was my precious evening off you know," Jack Si complained, clearly not so thrilled by his friend's sudden request to come to the business summit.

Xiaosi smiled. "What do you mean? Aren't you such a talented and renowned doctor? There are many entrepreneurs who would definitely love to have your insight."

He scratched his chin. "Isn't Xu Liang enough for them?"

"Don't be such a party pooper and enjoy. Liang has extremely good knowledge, I admit, but you are a doctor in the flesh."

He grimaced. "A doctor amidst the sea of capitalist businessmen…I feel totally off here."

"You won't soon…" he whispered.

"Say what?"

"Nothing."

The women were so thrilled seeing such a handsome foreigner in the summit that nobody could tear their gazes off him.

"Oh my God, he is so hot!"

"Ahh, those eyes...so beautiful."

"He is definitely American, right? But he looks a little Chinese too…"

"He is mixed. Gosh, that just makes him even so attractive!"

Women were drooling and swooning at his sight, and Jack Si flashed his smile at them that he would normally give at such attention.

But among the pair of gazes that were glued at him, there was one that didn't look his way. Jack Si paused and tilted his head as he stared at Shuang, who was talking to Caihong and An Guoting.

He glanced at Xiaosi and narrowed his eyes. "Why do I feel that there is a hidden agenda here?"

"What agenda would I have? Look over there. Those young lads definitely want a chance to talk to you," he shrugged.

Jack Si squinted his gaze. 

"Ah Jack Si!" Caihong waved her hand towards him. 

Shuang paused slightly and stared at him.

"Uncle Jack!" Chyou eagerly hopped to his side. Jack Si pinched her cheeks. "Hey, pumpkin. Looking beautiful as always," he winked.

Chyou blushed and giggled.

"What a pleasant surprise," Caihong smiled.

"Thanks to your husband who dragged me here," he shot an accusing stare at Xiaosi.

Caihong questioningly looked at Xiaosi. He simply coughed.

"Anyway. Dad, he is Jack Si, Xiaosi's doctor. And Jack Si. He is An Guoting, Shuang and my Dad."

An Guoting nodded. "Nice to meet you, young lad. I have heard a lot about you but didn't get a chance to meet you unfortunately. Thank you for taking care of Xiaosi."

Jack Si smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Mr. An. Well, Xiaosi is my friend and my patient. The responsibility is double and I cannot fail in it."

"Haha, you are right. Caihong and I have full trust in you. Also, I must say that you got some seriously good genes. I can sense everybody's gazes on you."

He scratched his chin. "Well…"

"As someone who is so talented, smart and good-looking, I cannot help but want to match you with Shuang."

Shuang choked.

"Are you single?"

"Dad!" She stared at him, speechless. 

What the hell! How did this suddenly come in between out of nowhere?

"What? I am your father. I am just thinking of a prospective man for you. I think that you two are quite a good match."

Xiaosi was even more dumbfounded. He had realized that Jack Si might be a little bit interested in Shuang, so he just called him here to give a push. Who knows if things would work out?

But his father-in-law already jumped the gun here.

Caihong beamed. "Ohhhh! Dad, you are absolutely right."

"Not you too…" Shuang sighed.

Jack Si rapidly blinked his eyes. For the first time, he didn't know how to respond. He curiously looked at Shuang and she was looking back at him.

An Guoting laughed. "Hahaha. I would love to have a grandchild with bluish-grey eyes."

"..."

Shuang dryly said, "Seems like that is your real agenda, old man."

An Guoting shrugged.

She stared at Jack Si, signaling him to say something that would drop this subject.

Jack Si smiled. "Well...I am single indeed and I wouldn't completely deny the possibility here…"

Shuang's brow twitched.

What is this man doing?

"But it seems that your daughter has a lot of things to figure out."

"Ah? Figure out what?"

"For example, her love for her-"

"Jack Si!" Shuang stared at him, aghast. 

Was he going to say her love for her brother-in-law?

Her forehead broke into a cold sweat.

Caihong and Xiaosi were puzzled.

"Her love for her games," he chuckled. "Doesn't she own a game company? I think she is still in a one-sided love with games that wouldn't let her move on to someone else," he smiled.

Shuang narrowed her eyes.

"I heard it from herself. Once upon a time, she had a game she really loved. But she always lost in it. Broken-hearted, she found relief in another game in which she always won. She got everything she could. She should have been so happy. But in the end, it could never beat the place the first game she had in her heart where she always lost. She still wanted to play the first game even though she knew she would always lose. And so she parted with the game one day that always brought her victory."

Shuang froze.

She grudgingly smiled as she gritted her teeth. "That was a...good way to say it, Mr. Jack."

"My pleasure, Miss An~"

An Guoting laughed. "Ahahaha. You are right. Shuang is really a game addict."

Caihong sighed. "No kidding. Shuang. I think it's really the time that you look up from your game console."

Xiaosi cleared his throat. "Indeed. You are lucky. You don't need to find someone. You lift your gaze and Jack Si is already here."

Shuang stiffened. 

She stared at Xiaosi for a second and then averted her gaze.

An Guoting said, "Anyway. I am not forcing you, of course. But you can give it a chance. Who knows if you two really hit it off," he smiled.

Shuang dangerously smiled. "I don't reaaaaaaally think so."
