Seeing her daughter pretending to be clueless, the mother laughed.
"Silly girl, your father and I just saw everything, and you're still playing dumb with us."
"Ah? Really?" Ding Muchen was dumbfounded.
But the door was closed. Does Mom have the ability to see the future? Did she stand at the peephole and watch ahead of time?
Seeing that her daughter was still in a daze, her mother tapped her on the forehead and chuckled, "And you told me you didn't have a boyfriend?"
"Just now, outside the Sichuan restaurant downstairs, your dad and I saw you two."
She pulled her daughter inside, closed the door, and asked with a look of concern, "Why didn't you invite him in for a cup of tea?"
Hearing her mother's suggestive tone, Ding Muchen knew she had misunderstood. She hurriedly explained, "Mom, we're just ordinary friends. We ran into each other today and had a meal together. It's not what you think."
