Chapter 531: I will not be staying home from tomorrow onward.

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Cough, cough... I won’t be coming home starting tomorrow. I’ll be living somewhere else.”

Zhang Manhua instantly widened her eyes in shock and exclaimed, “What?! You won’t be coming home starting tomorrow and will be living somewhere else?!”

“Yes.” She nodded solemnly.

Her mother clearly did not get what she meant.

“Wait, wait. Ge Ge, what do you mean by that?” Zhang Manhua gave her a look that said, ‘I understand your words just fine, but when you put them together like that, I can’t get their meaning for some reason.’

Why is my daughter not going to stay home? Where will she stay if not home?

“Mom, I mean that you have to live by yourself starting tomorrow.” She patiently explained what she meant to her shocked mother.

Her explanation only made her mother more confused.

“You won’t be staying at home; where will you be staying, then?”

“Oh. Our company is having a training camp and requires the employees to live together, so from tomorrow onward, I will be staying in the company dormitory to take part in the training,” she clarified, looking somber.

She probably got used to lying, so although she was telling a lie right now, it sounded legit to anybody listening.

“Training?” Her mother had finally understood what she meant at this point.

“Mhm.” She nodded. “This is enforced by the company, so I have no say in it.”

“A training camp isn’t much but having to stay in the company dormitory is too...” Her mother showed unwillingness.

Ever since she graduated from college, the two of them had always been living in the same house.

Seeing her mother’s unwillingness, her mood plummeted.

It’s wrong of me to lie about this to mom...

Maybe I was too rash. I shouldn’t have agreed to cohabiting with Ji Ziming.

When her mother saw that she was downcast, she started consoling her.

“All right, all right. Since it’s the company’s arrangement, you should complete it with your all. You can just return here after the training is over.” She patted her arm consolingly.

In that moment, Pei Ge had the urge to tell her mother the truth.

However, before she could say anything, her mother asked her about something else.

“Hm? Ge Ge, what are all these things? There are so many bags.”

This question woke her up.

No! I can’t let my mom find out about what I’m really doing now! It will be troublesome if she learns of it.

“Oh, these are just some clothes and shoes that I bought with my friend this afternoon,” she answered, feeling sheepish.

They were all the things the aunt-niece pair had bought for her despite her vehement rejection.

Sigh...

Sighing softly to herself, she mumbled inwardly, I should return these things when I get the chance.

It’s not proper for me to accept gifts for no rhyme or reason.

“I think you bought a lot. This shirt is really pretty great, even its quality.” Zhang Manhua, who did not know of what her daughter was thinking, fished out a pure white fleece coat from one of the paper bags excitedly.

Pei Ge trembled when her mother did that. She was afraid of her accidentally dirtying the fabric or tearing away the price tag!

This coat was bought from the Chanel store; hence, its price was much more expensive than the usual!

“Mhm! I bought that because it’s got a nice fabric.” Quickly getting up off the sofa, she took the coat from her mother’s hands and carefully returned it into the shopping bag.

Her mother did not notice her weird behavior, though, and just continued looking through the other bags.

“This pair of shoes looks good, too.

“This scarf has such a nice sheen!

“This...”

...

Pei Ge’s heart trembled every time her mother touched an item, and when the latter was finally done looking through everything, the former heaved a sigh of relief.

“Ge Ge, when did your aesthetic view improve so much?” her mother teased.

“My friend chose them all for me.” She recalled Mother Ji’s abnormal action of choosing stuff for her. She got quite a big scare from that earlier.

Surprisingly, and fortunately, Mother Ji’s sense of fashion was exceptionally good.

“Your friend has such a good taste. You should ask her for advice when you go shopping again next time.” Her mother laughed.

She nodded half-heartedly and returned all the things to their bags before she excused herself in front of her mother and left the room.

In her rush to leave, she did not realize that the Chanel scarf had fallen onto the living room’s floor.

“This child, why is she in such a rush...” Zhang Manhua was muttering this when she spotted the scarf on the floor and picked it up.

She was about to pass it over to her daughter, but she caught sight of the item’s price tag.

When she was opening each bag moments ago, she had only paid attention to the items’ designs.

As such, seeing the number of zeros on the tag now made her frown.

“This shop is exaggerating too much...” she mumbled.

However, for some reason, she did not return this scarf to her daughter but continued holding it.

...

After a good night’s sleep, Pei Ge crawled out of bed early.

“Hah...” Yawning drowsily, she went to the washroom to clean herself.

Once she returned to her bedroom after washing up to change, she found her phone ringing.

“Who is it this early in the morning?”

She put on her skirt properly and then picked up her phone on the side table.

A happy smile instantly formed on her lips and eyes at the sight of the caller ID.

“Seriously, why is this annoying fellow calling me this early?”
