Jin Qing was only there for cultivation, so there was no issue with eating meat. Only she lived in the house on the summit now. Previously, the conditions were too basic for anyone to come, but now they had been improved. Jin Lan also didn't allow anyone else up, wanting to leave his sister a peaceful place.
Li Jin was very capable. He found a pot in the kitchen himself and even fried chili oil and prepared all the seasonings. Jin Qing didn't have to do anything.
With everything prepared, Li Jin finally sat down and said, "Let's eat. I've been wanting hotpot for a long time. My grandpa always tells me not to eat it, saying it's a waste of money and that I should save money to get married. Old people are really annoying."
Jin Qing was a bit surprised, "You're not married yet? I thought you were almost thirty?"
"I'll be thirty on New Year's. I don't want to get married." Li Jin cooked the meat and picked some for Jin Qing, putting it in her bowl, then cooked meat for himself.
"Why don't you want to get married? Do you have some psychological issue?" Jin Qing found his idea quite strange. Logically, he was now successful in his career, his salary was calculated annually, and it was definitely not low. Getting married should be easy.
"Kind of. There's someone I've liked for many years, but she's married, so I don't plan to get married." Li Jin said with a smile.
Jin Qing: "..."
"That girl must have had a profound impact on you to make you give up the idea of marriage. What do your parents say? Do they agree you won't get married?" Jin Qing thought that parents generally hoped their children would settle down and start a career.
"My parents fell ill and passed away, so my family was very poor for a long time. It was just my grandpa and me. I couldn't even afford university back then; I was only able to finish university thanks to the kindness of benefactors." Li Jin told Jin Qing about his family situation.
Jin Qing was stunned after listening. She had parents who loved her and a privileged family environment, but because of her ignorance, she had caused the deaths of her parents and almost her entire family.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Li Jin asked nervously, seeing her eyes dim.
"No, it doesn't have a direct connection to you not wanting to get married. However, if she is married, you should really find someone else to love. Don't do anything immoral," Jin Qing said.
"I know. That's why I haven't done anything. But you said if she gets divorced, would I have a chance?" Li Jin looked at her and asked earnestly.
Jin Qing nodded, "If the other party gets divorced, then of course you have a chance to pursue her again. Does she have children? Would you be willing to accept her children?"
"No children," Li Jin smiled with satisfaction. What kind of child was that scumbag prodigal? He was already in prison, but he heard that he wasn't Jin Qing's biological son. He wasn't too clear about the whole situation.
"No children makes things much simpler. You must treat that girl well. Marrying the wrong person once can really take half your life. You can't let the girl down again," Jin Qing advised him.
"I definitely won't. If I marry her, I will treat her well! Make her happy for her entire life!" Li Jin promised very seriously.
Jin Qing was amused by him, "Alright, let's eat. The meat is overcooked."
They didn't continue the topic afterwards. They ate and chatted, and Li Jin told her some amusing stories from his company, making Jin Qing laugh constantly.
