The mother and daughter talked a lot, about future marriage, about career planning. Li Peifeng was eavesdropping by sticking close to the study door but only caught bits and pieces since there was a distance between them. When the two were calm, their voices beca lower, and he couldn't hear them.
After about an hour, Zhao Qingge finally coaxed Li Xin, who seed to be planning to leave.
Listening to the footsteps of the two heading to the entrance, Li Peifeng breathed a sigh of relief.
So close to death, so close!
After all, I, Li, have deep blessings; it's not yet my ti!
"So that's it, tomorrow you et him, just invite him for a coffee."
Li Xin walked to the door and reminded, "Even if you don't want to know more, don't make it obvious, be polite. The main thing is to apologize since you made him wait for over an hour today."
"Got it, take care on your way back."
Li Xin hesitated slightly, "How about I stay at yours tonight, and we can chat more."
"No need." Zhao Qingge's expression stiffened, forcing a smile, "Tomorrow, I drank today, feeling a bit sleepy."
Li Xin couldn't help but start lecturing again, "Drink less in the future, especially with students. As a young, pretty female teacher, single and obvious family background, drinking with young students is inappropriate! If other teachers get jealous, gossip is inevitable."
"I know, I know."
Li Xin walked to the door, paused again, and looked back at her, "Really want to find soone yourself? What kind of conditions? Do you have an idea? Tell mom."
"..."
"Like height, weight, annual inco, and family background, you should have so standards, right? And what's your online partner like anyway, have you even t?"
"Oh co on, just go! I'll tell you tomorrow."
Zhao Qingge deliberately yawned, impatiently said, "I'm really sleepy now, have to work tomorrow."
"Alright, got it, get so sleep... click."
Li Xin shook her head, put her hand on the door handle, and turned it to leave.
"Mom, drive carefully on your way back."
Zhao Qingge watched her finally leave the house, and breathed a sigh of relief, but then her heart started pounding again.
Just then, Li Xin stood outside the door holding the handle, turned around and re-entered the room, her brows furrowed in confusion, as if sothing puzzling occurred to her.
Zhao Qingge cautiously asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Li Xin said nothing, only standing by the door, arms crossed, staring fixedly at the floor beside the shoe cabinet. There was a pair of obviously male-styled sneakers, her expression gradually beca strange.
"Mom." Zhao Qingge's face turned pale instantly, speechless.
"Well, this is certainly a surprise."
Li Xin's voice was subtle, her expression neither sad nor joyful, looked at her daughter with an extrely complex gaze, and gently said, "Thank you, daughter, for giving a chance to know you anew. Duoduo is truly grown up."
"It..."
"Stop, you're not going to say those shoes, at least size 45, are yours, right?"
"..."
"Uh-huh, stop talking, let guess."
Li Xin smiled kindly, speaking softly, "Actually the truth is evident, Duoduo doesn't want to et the introduction of Xiaofan by because she's already in love, it's the online partner who bought you jewelry, right?"
"..."
Zhao Qingge remained silent, Li Xin's expression complicated, she sighed as various odd details from inside the house ca together, "No wonder you keep urging to leave. Seems I guessed right, the group gathering is fake, the real reason is Duoduo has a date with him tonight. You both drank so wine and had a happy conversation. He offered to escort you ho, and hesitated to leave after getting downstairs, using all kinds of excuses to co up, and you couldn't refuse his thoughtful offer."
Perhaps because of the wine, Zhao Qingge held her forehead with one hand and leaned weakly against the wall with the other.
Li Xin glanced at the study's tightly closed door, continued softly, "Once upstairs, he naturally couldn't leave easily, and while talking in the study... Then I, the clueless mother, arrived."
"Is that right?"
"No."
Zhao Qingge shook her head wearily, Li Xin pondered for two seconds, her expression dawning, she leered and chuckled, "That's why I felt sothing behind the door when I pushed it earlier, is that young man hiding there?"
"No..."
"No? Then go inside and let see."
Li Xin imdiately stepped forward, Zhao Qingge quickly blocked, "No."
"I knew it!"
Li Xin understood, narrowed her sharp eyes, snorted coldly, "What's there to hide from ? Since you've found a boyfriend, why would I introduce anyone to you? You've already been seen, why still act? Want to keep deceiving in the future?"
"..."
"Mom used to have high standards for your partner and intervened a bit, but now you're of age..."
Li Xin hesitated, sighed helplessly, "Let him out! Don't worry, I won't say anything embarrassing. Since you're already like this..."
"Another day." Zhao Qingge gritted her teeth, summoned her spirit, "Not today, another day I'll bring him to et you."
"Enough!"
Li Xin's face changed with the weather, monts ago calm, now only cold anger faintly spoken between clenched teeth, "You've already brought him ho and slept with him, and I have to wait for another day to et him? Would I only see the father of your child if you get pregnant after cooking rice? You might not care, but I do!"
"No, I didn't with him..."
Couldn't say the word sleep, Zhao Qingge only faintly smiled, "Mom, you've misunderstood."
"Shut up!"
Li Xin's eyes chilled, lowered her voice, "From now on, you, stop talking! Don't say a word or I'll imdiately go to the study and drag that man out! Then we'll see who's more ashad!"
Before Zhao Qingge could react, her mother took a few steps in place, speaking suddenly, raising her voice slightly, "Okay, Duoduo, I'm leaving, you get so sleep."
Li Xin finished speaking, turned the door handle, click, click~
She deliberately twisted it two more tis loudly, then opened the door.
"Bang~"
Closed the door again, but didn't leave, Li Xin stood by the door, staring intensely at the study door nearby, her eyes filled with anticipation, anxiety, and a bit of frustration as if her daughter's choice caused regret...
"Finally left."
Inside the study, Li Peifeng was oblivious to the mother-daughter conversation at the entrance. Being further away, inside the room, he only heard whispers that he couldn't make out, but Li Xin's 'I'm leaving' and the loud door closing were clear.
"Click~"
Therefore, Li finally felt relaxed, thoughtlessly opened the door, but instinctively glanced toward the entrance, just one look, everything ca to a standstill.
Is this the experience of eternity?
What is eternity? A sci-fi writer once said; only Death is eternal!
Indeed, Li Peifeng saw Death!
"..."
At this mont, Li Xin also saw her daughter's 'boyfriend,' her expression froze, her eyes revealed many anings within a half-second.
Initially, expectation turned into relief, anxiety vanished instantly.
Wow, tall, burly, handso, indeed good looking, quite young too, my daughter has good taste!
Then, relief turned into confusion.
No, no, who is this? He looks sowhat familiar?
Finally, all transford into the shock of five thunders crashing down!
"Li Peifeng!"
Li Xin's eyebrows furrowed, voice harsh, "You little brat, get out here!!!!"
