Qin Miao was thinking of pouring Qing a glass of water, then showing her around his house, and perhaps giving her a brief introduction to its internal layout.
But what Qin Miao didn’t expect was that Qing seed as if she had been to Qin Miao’s house before, showing familiarity with everything in his ho.
After casually touring the various rooms, Qin Miao was planning to wait for his mom to co ho after work and then take both of them out to eat.
After all, at this ti Qin Miao had over 20 million in savings and one million in disposable funds; with so much money, it wouldn’t make sense not to treat his mom to a good al.
What he didn’t expect was that Qing directly rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen, and then started cooking with a bewildered Qin Miao standing and watching in awe.
Standing at the kitchen door, Qin Miao didn’t know what to say at this point; he felt like he was the guest, and Qing was the true host here.
Seeing Qin Miao standing at the kitchen door, Qing, who had opened the fridge and taken out vegetables, handed so to Qin Miao: "Why are you in a daze? Help wash the vegetables."
"Oh, oh..."
Coming back to his senses, Qin Miao took the celery that Qing handed over and began to wash it.
Qin Miao’s mom had gotten off work an hour earlier today because she knew her son would be coming ho. So before going to work in the afternoon, she had specifically bought ingredients for dinner.
This way, she could start cooking as soon as she got ho without needing to go to the market.
But when she ca ho excitedly and opened the door, instead of seeing her son playing on the computer in his room, she saw Qin Miao busy in the kitchen.
In an instant, Qin Miao’s mom frowned, not because of Qin Miao’s presence in the kitchen, but because of the short-haired girl next to him cooking.
With a face full of confusion, his mom changed shoes and soon noticed the face masks and costics on the living room cabinet, while a scent of food wafted into her nose.
As she wandered further into the house, she also saw several dishes on the dining table covered with mosquito nets.
"Auntie?" A soft and pleasant voice reached Qin Miao’s mom’s ears. Turning around, she saw the short-haired girl carrying a dish out of the kitchen, looking at her with surprise.
Seeing Qin Miao’s mom looking over, Qing quickly put down the last dish of beef and celery, wiped her hands and introduced herself confidently: "Hello Auntie, I’m Qin Miao’s girlfriend, and also his deskmate, Qing."
At this ti, Qin Miao also ca out of the kitchen, and upon hearing Qing’s introduction, he was slightly taken aback.
This girl wasn’t following the plan; they had agreed she’d co under the guise of being his deskmate for a al, just so the parent would know soone with a good relationship with her son/daughter was around, but Qing went straight ahead with the big reveal, claiming to be his girlfriend.
No rcy! What a sneak attack! How unexpected for soone with a pure heart like .
Just when Qin Miao thought his mom would be utterly bewildered and unable to process the situation.
His mom suddenly burst into a dazzling smile: "Oh! So you are ng, right? How did you end up falling for our Qin Miao? But don’t worry, Auntie will make sure you’re well taken care of in our family."
"Ah, this girl is so pretty." After saying this, his mom stared at Qin Miao: "Why are you standing there? Go serve rice to our ng!"
Qin Miao: ...
Qin Miao now had a very clear understanding of how quickly his mom could change her deanor.
But since it was a command from his mother, Qin Miao had no thought of resisting, and turned to go back to the kitchen to serve three bowls of rice.
But when Qin Miao returned from the kitchen, the two won were already chatting and laughing together like long-ti friends.
The corner of Qin Miao’s mouth twitched, and he started to suspect these two were sohow acting or sothing; it’s rare you et soone and instantly have such great rapport.
Especially considering this is supposed to be the notoriously difficult mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship in China.
But the fact remained, at this mont in ti, all Qin Miao’s mom saw in Qing was admiration.
And when Qin Miao sat down, the two had just reached the topic of the skincare products Qing brought for his mom.
Hearing they were specially brought over from Changsha by Qing, Qin Miao’s mom’s face showed even more unconcealed delight.
This wasn’t watching her son’s girlfriend; this seed entirely like seeing her daughter-in-law.
Just as Qin Miao was about to lift the mosquito nets from the dishes and call them to eat, his mom suddenly looked at him very sternly and said: "Qin Miao! Let make this clear, I have no objections to the two of you, in fact, I’m very happy, but if you dare treat ng badly, I’ll definitely break your legs!"
Qin Miao was stunned.
I thought I didn’t do anything worthy of condemnation since coming ho, yet because of Qing’s presence, I’ve inexplicably been yelled at twice.
But faced with his mom’s threatening gaze, Qin Miao could only nod ekly.
And Qing didn’t say much either, rely covering her mouth with a smile, her eyes narrowing slightly, looking just like an adorable little fox sneaking a laugh.
While eating, Qin Miao didn’t intend to disclose his current financial situation to his mom so early, but Qing brought up what happened after Qin Miao went out.
Perhaps it was because of Qing’s presence, or maybe because Qin Miao’s mom was just that carefree.
In any case, after hearing the news, Qin Miao’s mom didn’t show much surprise; she just calmly accepted it after a mont of thought.
Qin Miao felt like he might be dreaming for a mont. How co after gaining an extra twenty million, his mom isn’t as emotional as when he suddenly got a girlfriend?
After dinner, at his mom’s request, Qin Miao drove Qing back ho, while she happily went back to her room to fiddle with the skincare products Qing had bought for her.
Qin Miao first took Qing ho, then returned to the community to the delight of the kids there.
Qin Miao kept his promise cheerfully, giving the kids more than twenty rides around the neighborhood. Even though he switched kids every lap, it still took over an hour to let all the kids experience the thrill of riding in a supercar.
Many kids were stuck at ho doing howork in the afternoon, so when Qin Miao initially agreed, there were only seven or eight kids around.
But when it was ti to take them for a ride, over twenty kids showed up.
Since they were all neighborhood kids, Qin Miao couldn’t leave anyone out.
So pretty much every kid he knew or had seen got a ride in the passenger seat for a lap.
After satisfying all the kids, Qin Miao went to the nearby gas station to refill the tank and bought so snacks before heading ho.
Once he got ho, he found his mom waiting for him on the living room sofa.
"Son, sit down."
Qin Miao sat down as told.
What followed wasn’t a lengthy lecture, and his mom didn’t even ask Qin Miao how he planned to spend the money.
Qin Miao’s mom only asked him how he felt about Qing, if he knew her family situation, and how far their relationship had progressed.
Qin Miao felt his mom seed more concerned about him getting hurt emotionally than about the money.
So Qin Miao truthfully told his mom everything he knew without leaving anything out.
After receiving Qin Miao’s sincere response, his mom felt relieved, didn’t ask more questions, nor ntion the money, just told Qin Miao to go wash the dishes.
Qin Miao: ...
No choice, it’s his mom, bound by blood.
After washing the dishes, Qin Miao took a nice shower, then went back to his room.
Today, Qin Miao wasn’t interested in playing with the simulator again; having experienced real racing and played with Boss Zhou’s custom six-axis simulator, he had lost interest in the 5 Nm direct drive one at ho.
After showering, Qin Miao picked up his phone to chat with Qing. Although they had just started dating, the content of their chats was different from most new couples.
Usually, new couples chat about nothing much, just so lovey-dovey words.
"I love you, you love , I miss you, do you miss ?" kinds of stuff.
But when Qin Miao and Qing chatted online, it felt as if they had been together for many years, discussing serious topics mostly about life’s trivial matters and amusing oddities they discovered lately, with hardly any lovey-dovey words except for a brief: "Rest early, mua~" at most.
Nothing much happened overnight.
The next morning, just as Qin Miao got up, Qing knocked on his door.
At this ti, Qin Miao’s mom hadn’t yet left for work, and hearing the knock puzzled her a bit.
It didn’t seem like a neighbor would visit so early.
But upon opening the door and seeing Qing, the perplexed expression on her face instantly turned into an amiable smile: "Ah, ng, co in, co in, don’t stand outside."
"Just right, Auntie bought you a pair of slippers yesterday, not sure if they fit." While saying so, Qin Miao’s mom pulled out a pair of pink slippers from the shoe cabinet without removing the tag: "I haven’t torn off the tag, try them on. If they don’t fit, we can exchange them. Are you thirsty? Let get you an orange juice."
Qing, feeling overwheld by the hospitality, hurriedly tried on the slippers while saying, "No need, Auntie, I ca to find Qin Miao; we’re going out to exercise together."
"Leave that stinky kid aside first. ng, have you had breakfast? If not, I haven’t eaten either, I can make you sothing. What do you like?"
Qing quickly declined: "No, no, no need, Auntie. I already ate on my way over, and I brought so for Qin Miao." Saying this, she showed the soy milk and dough sticks she carried.
"All right then, co in and sit for a while. I’ll go wake that stinky kid up."
When Qin Miao was woken up by having his blanket pulled off by his mom, he had a head full of questions.
Seeing his mom’s frustrated look and Qing sneaking peeks from the doorway, Qin Miao could roughly guess what was happening.
Groggily, he picked up his phone from the bedside to check the ti. Seeing it said 7:20 AM, he felt sowhat indignant. It’s only 7:20 in the morning!!!
"Sleep, sleep, sleep, all you do is sleep. Get up quickly! Didn’t you see ng is waiting for you?"
