After sending her boyfriend off, Pei Ge returned home.

When she saw her mother washing the dishes, she smilingly made her way to the kitchen as well.

“Mom, you should go watch TV. I’ll continue washing the plates.”

She put on an apron, then donned the rubber gloves, and approached the kitchen sink.

“I can just do it. There’re just a few bowls, anyway.” Her mother grinned.

Seeing that she could not persuade her mother otherwise, she squeezed in by the small sink to wash the dishes with her.

Her did not protest and started chatting with her, instead.

“Ge Ge, I can see that Xiao Ji is a very responsible man. You should properly cherish him this time.”

“Mhm.”

“Right. Are you still returning to Tianjin after this?”

Hearing this question, Pei Ge’s hands paused for a moment.

“Probably not...” she mumbled, feeling a little despondent.

Zhang Manhua frowned slightly at that and asked with some concern, “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy that you won’t be going back?”

“It’s not that. I... just wasn’t done with what I want to do there, and I don’t like the feeling of not completing what I started,” her daughter responded lightly, lowering her head to resume washing.

How could she not understand her daughter’s regret and indignance regarding this?

“Was it because of my fever? If not for me, you could go back and do whatever you want freely there. Mom here doesn’t want to burden you, so no matter what choices you make, I will be behind you.”

She put down the plate in her hands and smiled at her daughter sincerely and solemnly.

Pei Ge’s lips shifted slightly at this. Her boyfriend had already told her that she needed not return to Tianjin anymore and that he could transfer her to any important position at the headquarters to make full use of her capabilities.

In this way, she would have better career prospects. She could also take good care of her mom and prevent a repeat of what had happened.

Still...

She was unsatisfied. She wanted to finish what she started at Jiaheng and see all her plans come into fruition.

By then, when she was transferred back, she could confidently hold her head high.

She would also not be viewed as someone who had climbed her way up by relying on a man.

Thinking up to this, she decided.

“Mom, thank you. Thank you...” She put down the plate in her hands and took off her rubber gloves.

“Hey, you, silly child! I’m your mother; you don’t need to thank me.”

Her mother was about to shake her head in amusement, but she hugged her.

“Mom, thanks for always supporting me. I’m really blessed to have you as my mom!”

She hugged her tightly and said these mushy words aloud.

“He he! You, child, are this old already, yet you still cling to me so much and say such corny words.”

The pair of mother and daughter chatted and laughed endearingly as they cleaned up the kitchen. They then made their way to the living room.

Switching on the TV, her mother spotted their family photo on the side table and smiled at once.

Pei Ge cluelessly blinked when she saw her smile.

“Mom, what’s wrong? Why are you smiling so happily?”

“He he! I’m just amused by how Xiao Ji acted earlier. He’s staring at the photo of your younger self in a trance.” Her mother continued smiling.

She smiled as well.

“Was he really?”

“Yes! Look at how pretty your younger self was; you’re pretty much a flower.”

Her mother picked up the family photo from the table, saying exasperatedly, “They say girls reach adulthood they become even prettier, yet you become even fat, instead.”

“Mom! What’s wrong with me being fat? I still got myself a handsome boyfriend despite my fat! This means that I’m skilled!”

She unrepentantly grinned.

Even though this was her daughter, when she heard this, Zhang Manhua still rolled her eyes disdainfully.

“I don’t care. Anyway, from now on, you should hurry and slim down! Xiao Ji is so outstanding; I don’t want you looking like this even on your wedding day.”

“I’m actually not too bad—” Pei Ge dipped her head to size herself up, but before she could say anything further, her mother cut her off.

“What ‘not too bad’? You’d better sign up for a fitness class after the holiday. Quickly lose all that fat in your body before you get married to Xiao Ji, or you won’t be able to put on a beautiful wedding dress.” Her mother started nagging at her.

Seeing her mother nag without any signs of stopping, she grumbled to herself, I’m already married to that annoying fellow; in fact, I have our marriage certificate. What need is there to slim down?

Also, he probably likes me like this.

She did not dare to say these words aloud, of course.

“Okay, okay. I know, mom. I’ll properly burn all my fats after the holiday.”

She cheekily appeased her mother, quickly fleeing the scene thereafter.

“Mom, it’s already late, and I still have something tomorrow, so I’ll go to sleep now!”

She quickly slipped into her bedroom.

“Hoo!”

She shook her head amusedly once she was in her room. Taking out her phone, she pressed a few keys on the screen to send her boyfriend a message.

Buzz!

Ji Ziming, who was driving, felt his phone vibrate.

Coincidentally, the traffic light turned red.

He stopped the car, then fished out his phone, and saw her message.

[Ziming, do you like me plump or petite? Don’t lie; I want the truth!]

Sensing the threat in her text, his lips involuntarily curled up.

He quickly tapped a few keys.

[The way you look is just right.]

After sending this reply, he waited for her next message, but before it arrived, Mu Heng’s call came first.

“Ziming, I need to tell you something. That woman... might be coming back.”
