Pei Ge’s lips twitched as she watched the tail of Ji Ziming’s car recede in the distance, and she felt suddenly depleted.

She dragged her lethargic self up to their apartment.

“Ge Ge, what took you so long coming up? What did you talk about with Xiao Ji?” Zhang Manhua asked, perplexed.

“Oh, just some work-related matters,” she casually replied, proceeding to toss all thoughts of the man at the back of her mind.

“You should return to work after taking so many days off,” urged her mother, who was sitting on the sofa, lamenting, “Aye! It’s all that hospital’s fault for giving me that incorrect diagnosis. If it wasn’t for that, you wouldn’t be taking time off work.”

Pei Ge placed the baggage on the living room floor and nodded in agreement, saying angrily, “That’s right. That hospital is so irresponsible! They actually made such a big mistake!”

At her daughter’s raging, Zhang Manhua consoled, “Actually, that happening isn’t such a bad thing.”

“Mhm?” She looked at her mother curiously. “Why?”

“Think about it. If I weren’t misdiagnosed, we wouldn’t see our relatives’ true colors. We would also never discover your second uncle cheating us off our money in the past.”

“Sigh... That’s true...” She nodded sadly.

She only realized that, while her mother was a very amicable and soft-hearted person, she was not the saintly person she had pegged her to be. Her mother was actually so broad-minded she felt very ashamed of herself.

“Alright. I really do believe that this incident isn’t all bad. It’s an eye-opener, for one; I now understand the importance of health, so...” Her mother paused, looking at her with a smile.

She only blinked cluelessly at her mother and prompted, “What?”

“I’ve decided to bring you out jogging every morning.” Zhang Manhua smiled.

She immediately whined, “Dear mom, can you please just let me off? I think I don’t even get enough sleep every day!”

“Mhm! Then, we’ll start our morning jog from tomorrow onward. Do you think it’s better to do warm-ups at home or go out running immediately?” smilingly asked her mother, ignoring her plea.

“Can I choose neither?” she cried.

“We’ll start with running, then.”

Wu wu wu! Mom, I beg for your mercy!

“Right; have you called Xiao Wen?” Her mother recalled their dinner plan tonight shortly after their chat.

She only realized that she had forgotten to call Wen Qimo at her mother’s reminder.

Hence, she quickly whipped out her phone and dialed his number.

The man picked up the call after a few beeps.

“Hello, Ge Ge.”

“Hello, Qimo. Are you free tonight? My mom wants to treat you to dinner,” she said upfront.

“Dinner? Isn’t auntie confined at the hospital?” He sounded confused.

“Oh, it turns out my mom is actually fine. The previous hospital misdiagnosed her; she’s in fact sick-free.” She grinned from ear to ear, her happiness apparent in her voice.

“Huh?! Misdiagnosed?!” The man was clearly shocked by this piece of news.

“Yes, ha ha! Anyway, are you free to have dinner with us tonight?” She laughed happily.

“Oh, I am. Since auntie is actually fine, as your ‘boyfriend’, I have the responsibility to celebrate this good news; it’s so that a certain someone won’t consider me as a jerk!” he joked.

She only rolled her eyes at him. “Alright, then. I’ll text you the time and address later.”

With that, she cut the call.

“He he, you child should show a better attitude when talking to Xiao Wen. Look at how you behaved just then,” her mother lightly chastised. While her voice sounded reprimanding, her face, which was all smiles, said otherwise.

This was because, from her viewpoint, the fact that her daughter could speak freely to the man was a telltale sign of the two’s good relationship!

Also, since the man could accept such a fierce side of her daughter, it could only mean that he really liked her daughter!

Mhm! Not bad; not bad! Looks like this will be my daughter’s last blind date! I should look forward to having a grandchild to cuddle soon!

Without the ability to read minds, how could Pei Ge know what her mother was currently thinking?

However, if she knew of it, she would certainly spit out blood and resolutely inform, Mom, you’re thinking too far ahead!

The mother-daughter pair had a serious discussion of where to have dinner while sitting on the living room sofa, and then at around 5 P.M., they departed from home.

Her mother initially wanted to cook dinner for the men at home, but she vetoed this, saying that it was better to hold the celebration at a large hotel as that would give them fewer things to do afterward.

Hence, the final decision was to make a dinner reservation at a second-tier hotel’s restaurant.

The two, who had arrived early at the private room of the chosen restaurant, started ordering food.

By the time the two were done with that, it was already past six in the afternoon.

“Ge Ge, did you send the correct address to the two boys?” Her mother asked her for confirmation again.

Nodding her head, she took out her phone. “I sent them the correct address. Mom, this is the second time you have asked me that.”

“I was just making sure that you didn’t forget about it again.” She glanced at her daughter with amusement. “When I asked you before, you told me that you had already sent them both the address, but didn’t it turn out that you had actually forgotten to send it to Xiao Ji? He even called you himself for the address.”

She was speechless when her mother reminded her of this.

How could I possibly forget to send a message to that annoying fellow? I just didn’t want to send it in the first place.

Who would’ve known that that d*mn, annoying fellow would actually call me himself to inquire about the dinner venue, though?!

Jeez! Did that picky young master really need to lower himself just to grab a free meal from us?! Seriously!

Also, also! Why the hell did he use such a higher-than-thou attitude to ask for the address when he’s just trying to leech off a meal from us?! He is indeed an annoying fellow!

Still... That annoying fellow seems to be very hostile toward Qimo. It should be... fine when we eat together later, right?
