Such a direct and straightforward attitude... Mo Nanzhi, who was used to dealing with the women around Cui Jiangjing, was caught off guard by a series of blows.
She gave a dry laugh, "I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to chat with you, no need to be nervous."
"Hmm." Gu Linxi nodded, then added, "I’m serious, madam, no need to worry about me playing tricks."
Mo Nanzhi, "..."
She liked smart girls, and this girl was indeed very clever; she immediately understood her meaning right after she spoke, catching on quickly.
But somehow, this reply made her feel a bit odd.
It felt as if her son had been rejected.
And it was a rejection with no mercy, no interest at all!
She raised her eyebrow and observed the girl beside her for a while, occasionally chatting a few words, and then gradually closed her mouth.
Talking to smart people, she couldn’t pretend too much.
Cui Jiangjing finished his check-up and came out, eagerly finding Gu Linxi, just about to stride over when he suddenly saw Mo Nanzhi standing by Gu Linxi’s side. His face changed sharply, and he stepped in front of Gu Linxi, discreetly separating the two, "Mom, why are you here?"
Mo Nanzhi wasn’t blind. She couldn’t miss his series of little actions and immediately rolled her eyes at him and slapped his shoulder, "Why can’t I e? I rushed over as soon as I heard you had a car accident. What, you’re not happy to see me?"
"...No." Cui Jiangjing used his eyes to inquire Gu Linxi, but unfortunately, Gu Linxi didn’t respond to him. He scratched his head, unsure of what they had talked about when he was inside, and tentatively said, "I was just a bit surprised to see you two standing together."
Mo Nanzhi mercilessly exposed, "You brat! I think you’re not surprised, you’re worried I’ll scare your girlfriend, right? You think I don’t know what’s on your mind?"
With her speaking so bluntly, along with the term "girlfriend," Cui Jiangjing smiled a bit, not denying it.
The silly boy, it’s the first time she’s seen him so nervous about dating.
However...
Mo Nanzhi couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him again, slowly saying, "Relax! I’m having a good chat with Xi. Xi is a nice girl, I won’t oppose if you two want to date. But I don’t want tonight’s kind of thing to happen again. You should know how worried you made your dad, your brother, and me tonight. Play as you will, mess around as you will, but know your limits. Just let it go this time, understood?"
"I know." He himself knew he went a bit overboard tonight, even though she told him, he didn’t refute.
Mo Nanzhi nodded in satisfaction, "As long as you know, you’re old enough now, I don’t feel like lecturing you. Be aware yourself."
"Okay." He eagerly grabbed Gu Linxi’s wrist, telling the lecturing woman, "Mom, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go first. It’s so late, it’s not safe for her to go back alone, I’ll send Xixi home. You should head back early too."
"No..." Before she could finish, Gu Linxi felt a strong force gripping her wrist.
He stopped all the words that were about to e out of her mouth.
Mo Nanzhi generously waved her hand, letting them go easily, "Go on, go on, I know I can’t keep you, I won’t bother trying. Remember to apply medicine to your scraped areas."
"Okay, we’re off then. Bye, mom."
Mo Nanzhi watched them leave, glancing a few more times at that slender figure before they left, showing a trace of curiosity...
