The next day—
Su Man got off work and went home, taking the quickest shower and changing into her outfit to make it to her 8 o'clock date.
She put on the dress Lu Yuwen gave her, wore the jewelry Lu Yuwen gifted her, and then slipped on the high heels Lu Yuwen bought her at the entryway.
Just as she was about to leave, the door clicked open, and Su Mom came in.
The mother and daughter locked eyes.
Su Mom stared at her daughter in a daze, as if she didn't recognize her. Then she sized Su Man up and down, and down and up again.
"Where are you headed like this?" Su Mom clicked her tongue in admiration. "When did you buy this new outfit? It's so pretty."
Su Man felt a bit awkward. "Well… yesterday. Lu Yuwen bought it. He said the restaurant we're going to tonight has a dress code."
"Oh, Xiaolu bought it, huh~" Su Mom's tone inexplicably went up an octave.
Su Man: "..."
Was it really necessary to tease her own daughter like this?
