Lu Weixi opened the bedroom door and found her mother standing right outside, her eyes filled with a touch of suspicion. Lu Weixi feigned calmness, “Mom, what’s up?”

“What were you hiding in there for? Are you keeping something from me?” Lu’s mother asked, while trying to peer into the room.

“How could that be?” Lu Weixi quickly shut the door, then, with a smile, took her mother’s hand and led her away from the bedroom towards the kitchen. “Didn’t I tell you? I was still working on the project, just chatting a bit more with the other designers. Mom, what’s for dinner?”

Unexpectedly, Lu’s mother led her straight to the living room. “I want to have hot pot. I’ve washed all the veggies, we have everything.”

Lu Weixi’s face stiffened for a moment. She had been hoping to take her mother to the kitchen so that Qin Zhiyou could take the chance to slip away. The key to the window had fallen outside; he couldn’t get out. But with hot pot to be eaten in the living room, and the only exit being through the living room, she was now trapped.

“…Okay.” Lu Weixi nodded. She didn’t want her mother to notice anything unusual, so she prepared herself. Soon an induction cooker was set up in the living room, and as her mother added water and was about to add spicy base, Lu Weixi stopped her.

“Mom, I’m a bit heaty, can’t have anything too spicy.” Pregnant women really shouldn’t eat too spicy food, she was aware of that much.

Lu’s mother didn’t object, and once the water boiled, mother and daughter sat down to eat. Holding her bowl, Lu Weixi thought she should let her mother in on the situation. It wasn’t easy to directly ask her mother if she would agree to her getting back together with Qin Zhiyou, so she had to beat around the bush and tell her what if she was pregnant.

With a child, she guessed that her mother’s aversion to Qin Zhiyou wouldn’t be so intense. Just like herself; before, she had a thousand reasons to leave Qin Zhiyou, but she would do anything for their child if it meant the child could stay.

“Mom, this Sunday I’m going to attend a colleague’s kid’s first birthday party, so I won’t be home.” Even when it came to the topic of children, she dared not be too direct and started hinting at it.

Lu’s mother nodded.

Lu Weixi added, “The kid seems pretty cute, nicknamed Xiaozhu, chubby and round, his little hands no longer than one of my thumbs. He always smiles when he sees people, very lively.”

Lu’s mother nodded again.

Lu Weixi thought for a moment and then continued, “Mom, don’t you often chat with that aunt who has a four-year-old grandson? You even said the little grandson is especially cute and sweet-talking.”

Lu’s mother put down her chopsticks, “So you should hurry up and go on blind dates. You’re not that young anymore. Although you say work is important, a woman should have a family. Find a dependable and trustworthy man who is good to you and loyal, whether he is rich or not.”

How did it get back to blind dates? Lu Weixi tried to steer the conversation back, “So mom, do you want me to get married and have children sooner?”

“Yes,” Lu’s mother nodded, “as long as the child’s father isn’t Qin Zhiyou, I trust your judgment.”

“…” The conversation had hit a dead end again. After a moment of thought, Lu Weixi put down her chopsticks and spoke to her mother as if she were joking, “Mom, just hypothetically, and I mean hypothetically, what if, by chance, I had a child with Qin Zhiyou…”

“How could you have a child with Qin Zhiyou? You are already divorced.” Lu’s mother set down her bowl and chopsticks, her expression suddenly serious, “Xixi, why do I feel like you’re a bit off today?”
