“Why not! This is my home, and there are no men! Besides, I’m not wearing nothing!”
Qu Lin didn’t care. She liked to take a shower first, then wrap herself in a bath towel and return to her room, slowly choosing clothes in front of the mirror.
“Because I’m dating someone! If I bring him home, and you run out dressed like this, it would be embarrassing!” Wang Tong couldn’t help but mutter.
“What, you mean you two have made it official? So fast!” Qu Lin was both surprised and delighted. She grabbed the edge of the bath towel and walked towards her daughter.
Wang Tong’s cheeks flushed red: “Yes! We made it official!”
Qu Lin looked very happy:
“Wow! You’re efficient! Did my darling daughter take the initiative? De Min has always been shy. Every time he enters the office, he doesn’t dare to look at his mother. He’s good in every way, just not bold enough. That’s why I told you to take the initiative!
Look, you took the initiative, and now you two are a thing. When De Min gets into college next year, I’ll organize a grand wedding for you. When you have children, I’ll take care of them. Just thinking about it makes me happy!”
“Mom! You say Xiao Lu is shy? Not bold enough? Who says so!
He’s scared of you, a female leader!
Who in your unit isn’t afraid of you!
He’s not shy at all in front of me. He’s quite bold, you know.
He was the one who held my hand and confessed to me while we were climbing the Great Wall of Badaling!
I think he’s sincere, and I really like him. Mom also likes him, and he doesn’t mind that I’m older. So I agreed!”
Qu Lin giggled, her joy evident in her radiant smile, a surge of white waves, her ravines captivating:
“Oh, my! It seems Xiao Lu has quite a bit of courage when it comes to crucial moments! Good! Seeing you two together makes me so happy! It’s worth all the special care I gave him, creating opportunities for you to spend time together. My daughter finally has a boyfriend. I’m so happy, Mom is going to drink some red wine tonight. You should drink a bit with me!”
Wang Tong knew her mother was great in every way, the only thing she didn’t like was her fondness for red wine. Once she started drinking, she couldn’t stop. Almost every time, she got drunk. And when she got drunk, she was prone to crying.
But since her mother was happy, Wang Tong let her be.
“Okay, Mom, I’ll drink with you! But I can’t drink too much!”
“I know!”
“Come on! Tell Mom more about what you did today. Mom has never had a free love, never loved a man in my life. But my daughter has found love. It’s a kind of compensation for me. Tell Mom all about it!” Qu Lin said to her daughter with great interest.
“Mom! You can ask me anything, and I’ll tell you. But you have to change clothes first!” Although the person in front of her was her mother, and she looked very attractive, she wasn’t used to her mother being just in a bath towel like that.
“Okay, okay! Mom will listen to you! Actually, I just want to show off my figure while I’m still young. No other man has the luck to see it. Only my darling daughter can see it. But my darling doesn’t want to see it. Such a waste!” Qu Lin mumbled as she walked towards her room.
My mom is still so vain and self-absorbed. But she is truly beautiful.
Sometimes, Wang Tong felt that her mother was so lonely, so young and beautiful, and suggested she find a companion.
But her mother always said that there were no smelly men worth her attention.
Wang Tong knew her mother’s standards were high. After a few attempts to persuade her, she got no results. Then, for the past two years, she directly said that it was disgusting to see men looking at her, as if she resented men, so she didn’t dare to bring it up anymore.
However, Wang Tong also felt that some men were unjustly hated by her mother. It was normal for people to take a few extra glances at someone as beautiful as her.
However, Wang Tong didn’t dare to say this to her mother.
“Fortunately! Mom doesn’t dislike her boyfriend! If she did, it would be a real problem. If she didn’t bless the marriage, it wouldn’t be happy or perfect!” Wang Tong felt fortunate when she thought about this.
“No! I have to remind De Min tomorrow, don’t stare at my mom. If she dislikes him because of it, that would be bad!”
Wang Tong was lost in her thoughts.
Her mother, Qu Lin, came out after changing her clothes.
“Okay! Mom’s changed clothes. Tell Mom about your day!” Qu Lin pulled her daughter to sit on the sofa.
So, Wang Tong told her mother everything about her date with her boyfriend, except for the part where he hugged her. She felt it was too intimate and embarrassing to say.
“He even gave you shoes and hair clips as gifts. They’re so beautiful! Mom is envious. Mom never received gifts from boys!” Qu Lin looked at the shoes in the box and the hair clips on her daughter’s head with envy.
“Mom! Even if those men were willing to give you gifts, they wouldn’t dare! And even if they did, you wouldn’t accept them!” Wang Tong said with a laugh.
“You’re right!” Qu Lin also laughed.
“One more thing, Mom! I’ve told De Min. I’m going to bring him to meet you. When do you think it’s a good time?”
Qu Lin smiled and said, “No rush. We’ll wait. Now he doesn’t know I’m your mom. It’s quite fun! Once he knows, maybe it won’t be fun anymore. Mom’s life is boring, let her have some fun for a while!”
“Hee hee! That’s fine! But Mom, don’t go too far!”
“I know!”
“And Mom! I have a boyfriend, I want to learn to cook, so I can make breakfast or lunch for Xiao Lu in the morning!”
“Mom is jealous! You’ve never made anything delicious for Mom to eat! Now you’re willing to cook for your boyfriend. Are you more in love with him?”
No one knew her mother better than Wang Tong. Although her mother was very strict at work, she was sometimes like a child at home. She needed comfort and care. Wang Tong quickly said, “Of course not! I love Mom the most, Xiao Lu is only second! I didn’t learn to cook before because I had Mom to spoil me!”
Qu Lin was very happy to hear her daughter’s words and agreed to teach her how to cook.
“We’ll learn later tonight, or we’ll get up early tomorrow morning. Mom will teach you how to make a loving lunchbox for your boyfriend!”
“Thank you, Mom!”
