Qin Yue considered herself a parent with open-minded views and had never interfered in Chen Yifan's relationships.
Chen Yifan had also never let her know about his love life.
Moreover, before the divorce, Qin Yue and Chen Yifan had been in a cold war for some time, and after the divorce, she rarely saw her son.
So, for nearly a year and a half, she had not really cared about or noticed his relationships with girls.
Of course, given Chen Yifan's personality, even if Qin Yue wanted to control his love life forcefully, he might not pay any attention to her.
"No, I need to talk to him about this."
After a brief moment of contemplation, Qin Yue seemed to have made up her mind. Mumbling to herself, she followed Chen Yifan to his room and raised her hand to knock on the door.
She had barely knocked twice when the door opened from the inside before she could say anything.
"What's up?" Chen Yifan asked, looking at Qin Yue standing outside the room.
Qin Yue rarely lectured him, and over the past two years, they had few opportunities for calm, heart-to-heart talks. As a result, she felt a bit nervous at the moment.
She took a deep breath and said, "Um, Little Fan, I want to talk to you about something. The way you treat girls is not right. You can't…"
"Are you serious?"
Chen Yifan rolled his eyes and cut in before Qin Yue could finish speaking.
"What?" Qin Yue looked at him in bewilderment.
Chen Yifan looked at her and, seemingly finding it somewhat amusing, said, "Are you trying to tell me not to date girls casually? To be serious if I want to be in a relationship?"
"Yes," Qin Yue nodded. "What's wrong with that?"
"Have you found someone willing to treat you the same way with this attitude towards relationships?" Chen Yifan asked.
Qin Yue was taken aback by his question, left speechless with her mouth slightly open.
"Your husband has betrayed you, hasn't he" Chen Yifan continued, "Do you really think I should listen to you on this matter?"
"Well… that… that doesn't necessarily mean…"
"It's clear enough. Anyway, it seems like I don't have a date today. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room to do homework," Chen Yifan said.
As Chen Yifan spoke, he took a step back and was about to close the door.
"Hey? Little Fan!"
Seeing him about to close the door, Qin Yue hurriedly called out and took a step forward to block the door.
However, Chen Yifan closed the door forcefully, not easing up even when he saw her entering. Consequently, she hit the door with a loud thud, especially on her forehead.
"Ah!"
Qin Yue screamed, staggered back a few steps, and clutched her forehead, her face contorted in pain.
Chen Yifan's face turned pale. He quickly pushed the door aside and rushed to her, catching her in an embrace as she seemed about to fall.
With a look of concern, he gently removed her hand from her forehead.
