Girlfriend Selection Criteria

Wu Linzhi? Doubt lingered on An Yufei's face as she looked at the man on the TV.

"Yufei, are you getting celebrity crushes already?" An Qi asked.

"No, Mom! Have you forgotten that when we were in Paris, his posters were everywhere?"

An Qi vaguely recalled Leng Jin having asked her a similar question previously. At that time, An Qi had thought that he was exaggerating, but it now seemed that she was she one who had neglected minor details and had not paid adequate attention to her life!

On the TV screen, Wu Linzhi's amorous eyes sparkled, causing several girls to faint on the spot.

"I heard that the main reason why you accepted our interview today is to announce the most important event in your life... Your marriage! Is that correct?" The TV show's host threw out a few irrelevant questions first, causing booing sounds to immediately came from the live audience.

It was no wonder that the audience was annoyed at the host's previous superfluous questions, as the whole reason that these people had come here in droves was because they'd heard that Wu Linzhi was going to announce the most important event of his life. Finally, the host had gotten to the crucial question!

As the audience waited for his answer with held breath, they all thought to themselves…

My gosh, I can't believe that Wu Linzhi is actually here… And… He is getting married.

I just can't imagine him married! It would be harder for a woman to conquer him and convince him to settle down and get married than it would be to tame a monkey!

"Well... Coming here today and confirming that today was indeed one of the conditions for me to be interviewed." As soon Wu Linzhi confirmed this, his fans broke down on the spot, all of them shocked and wondering… Has he really found his soulmate?

As they were watching the TV, not only were An Qi's glued to the screen, but Dong Manman's and Leng Jin's attentions had all been attracted by Wu Linzhi's commentary.

All over the country, be it via Facebook or Wechat, Wu Linzhi's love affair had become the first hot topic on the tagline search list. It was hard to imagine how fast a celebrity's popularity declined once his love affair was exposed.

The host smiled then mysteriously as she asked, "Linzhi, in view of your personal situation, we've specially gathered pictures of your rumored girlfriends in the past. I wonder if your heart belongs to any one of them?"

At that moment, a collage of nine photos appeared on the big screen at the venue, showing nine different women with completely different styles. Ranging from popular TV actresses to influencers, all of whom had received plastic surgery, to rising stars in the entertainment industry and even successful women in the business industry, there were all kinds of women represented in the collage.

As the crowd looked at the nine photos, they all gasped and began whispering among themselves...

"No, absolutely not!"

"I couldn't be!"

"Our Linzhi would never like any of these superficial women!"

"I'm the only one for Linzh!"

His fans at home were about to smash their TV screens, and those fans at the venue had erupted in complete chaos! The host immediately rescued the situation by adjusting the lights to the dimmest setting, which slightly calmed the crowd.

In the darkness, only Wu Linzhi was illuminated with a soft spotlight. Under the light, Wu Linzhi's jawline appeared sharp and angular, and he looked extremely handsome.

As he was a model, he had a wide back and shoulders, and a narrow waist and long legs. Although he was enchanting and charming, he wasn't effeminate at all.

In today's overly feminine entertainment industry, this was a rare thing. It was no wonder that he had so many loyal fans, all of whom had sworn to follow him forever.

"Umm, I'm sorry, but I don't fancy anyone among any of those women," Wu Linzhi said assertively, without even looking at the screen.

"Wow! He is my idol indeed! I knew he wouldn't allow himself to be seduced by those women!"

"Linzhi, don't get married! Marry me instead!"

The host apparently had not expected Wu Linzhi to answer her so bluntly, and the reactions of the fans revealed their equally shocked mindsets.

The host grinned bitterly, chuckled, then turned to ask the crowd, "Haha, you guys just want Linzhi to be single all of his life, don't you?"

"Yes!" everyone in the audience yelled back immediately. This time, the fans' surprisingly all felt the same.

Lake Heart Villa.

An Qi was hugging An Yufei and paying close attention to hearing more information about her old classmates' love life.

"Honey, do you know this man?" An Qi asked her daughter.

When he'd confessed to her previously, Leng Yuchen had promised to let An Qi return to work at the Leng Group. When he thought about how they would have to be strangers when they were working in the company, Leng Yuchen had wanted nothing more than to call her "honey" a hundred times in one breath. No... A thousand times might be a better description!

"Oh, he's my old classmate!" An Qi's expression was quite proud when she spoke the words.

It was also a small victory for her to be able to say such a thing in front of Yufei and Leng Yuchen. However, at the moment, An Qi only cared about showing off, so she had failed to notice how Leng Yuchen's gaze had darkened quite a bit.

Meanwhile, things back at Dong Manman's location were about to blow up...

"Manman, I heard that the first spokesman that you signed in your Paris studio is Wu Linzhi. Now that he's about to announce his love affairs, will this affect your studio negatively?"

"Manman, you've just made such a high-profile announcement on your social media account, saying that you're going to start working with Wu Linzhi. Be careful, as the hardcore fans might group together and smash your windows..."

"Manman, Manman..."

The fashion industry's media coverage and constant barrage of questions and coverage was only adding insult to injury in the situation, and this situation was getting so serious that Dong Manman simply shut off her phone and sat down in front of the TV in the end, her shoulders slumped in exhaustion and overwhelm. She wondered what kind of splash this fellow would make moving forward!

As he was still sitting in front of the camera, the soft light on Wu Linzhi gradually turned brighter, which also meant that he was about to reveal the truth of the matter in this interview! At that moment, both inside the TV studio and outside in front of all of the viewers' TV sets, the hearts of all of the people were hanging on a thread as they waited for Wu Linzhi to speak.

"I'm very sorry to have caused this dramatic situation, but in fact, the real reason that I've accepted this interview is not that there's a lover I wanted to tell you about..." Before he could finish speaking, the people in the audience had already heaved huge sighs of relief unanimously.

Even though each person gave an individual sigh, as so many people in the audience did so at the same time, the individual sighs turned into a special sound, like a unanimous whooshing roar of sorts.

Even An Qi had sighed involuntarily. Although the sound of her sigh wasn't as spectacular as the unanimous sigh of the audience had sounded on the TV set, it still was heard loud and clear as it reached Leng Yuchen's ears.

If it weren't for the fact that An Yufei was also staring at the TV and seemed very interested in the superstar, Leng Yuchen would have carried An Qi back to the bedroom that moment and "punished" her. However, although Leng Yuchen did not show his dissatisfaction directly at that moment, he had moved quietly to walk over and take An Qi and Yufei in his arms.

An Qi still had her eyes glued to the TV, so she did not notice Leng Yuchen's small movements at first. Meanwhile, during the live broadcast, Wu Linzhi waited for the crowd to quiet down with a melancholy expression on his face.

"Actually, all of you know my masterpiece, 'Finding The Girl In Memory,' and in order to cooperate with the public's desire to know more about me and my love life, the company has asked me to reveal the characteristics of my ideal girlfriend to you. So... Do you want to hear them?" Wu Linzhi asked.

"YES!" The people in the audience's collective roar was deafening.

"Alright then, listen closely, as I'm only going to say this once," he said.

Then, as he continued to explain, the TV studio was as quiet as a cicada in cold winter, "My ideal woman would have black, long, and straight hair, preferably parted at the middle. Her legs should be long, but not longer than mine, and her big eyes should be extremely tender. Also, it would be great if she had a daughter, so that I could experience the happiness of fatherhood before actually becoming a dad myself."

Wu Linzhi finished speaking in one breath, almost as if he had not drafted his speech beforehand. Such a woman seemed to have been brewing in his heart for a long time.

For a long time after he'd said spoken, everyone was stunned, including the host, who did not know how to continue the conversation. His first few requirements had dealt with very basic outer appearances, but his requirement about the woman having to already have a daughter was quite particular and special. This made everyone quite perplexed.
