Tang Fei was startled and blurted out, "That's not possible, right? How does your mom know about our relationship?"
"My mom also watches the news. The old lady is retired, and she spends her time browsing videos and reading the news... Our scandal even made the trending searches, have you forgotten?" Sheng Xinhuai said with an air of it being a matter of course.
"But... didn't you explain at all?"
"How should I explain?" Sheng Xinhuai retorted, "Say that we're not a couple? Say that I'm just someone else's stand-in?"
"..."
"So, tell me, are you going or not?" Sheng Xinhuai pressed on.
After a moment of contemplation, Tang Fei replied, "If this is indeed Auntie's wish, I should go back with you... To decline an elder's invitation would be a breach of etiquette."
"Then it's settled," Sheng Xinhuai said briskly. "I'll come over later to pick you up."
