Chapter 684 - I like you, and that is enough.
Pei Ge had an especially good night’s sleep, and when she woke up, it was almost noon.
If her phone did not ring, she probably would still be sleeping.
“Hello…”
She groggily picked up the phone next to her pillow without looking at the caller ID.
“Hi…”
Her groggy voice seemed to have made the person on the other end pause.
“Still sleeping?”
Pei Ge looked at her phone, exasperated, once her mother left the room.
“I say; Pei Ge you’re so dumb. Why did you hang up in a hurry? That annoying fellow is now your boyfriend. Mom already knows about it, so what is there to hide…” she muttered gloomily.
It became a habit, huh…
She laughed and then got out of bed.
“Ah! Today is such a beautiful day!”
She drew the curtains and stretched happily as she looked at the bright sky.
Leaving the confines of her room, she saw her mother busying herself in the kitchen. She proceeded to walk in the bathroom to wash up with a smile on her face.
By the time she finished brushing her teeth and washing her face in the bathroom, her mother had finished preparing lunch.
“Ge Ge, come here and eat.”
Her mother waved her over with a smile.
“Mom, is your body okay? Are you feeling unwell anywhere today?” She asked as she sat at the dining table and took a rice bowl from her mother.
“It’s all better. I don’t feel unwell anywhere.” Her mother smiled. “Don’t overthink it. I just had a fever; that’s all.”
“Mom, next time, whether you’re at home or outside, remember to keep yourself warm.”
“I know; I know.”
The mother-daughter pair chatted as they ate.
Pei Ge was almost done eating when her mother’s next statement made her lose all her appetite.
“Oh, right. For New Year, your cousin has invited us over to their place.”
Pak!
She frowned hard and slapped her bowl and chopsticks on the dining table.
“No, mom! We’re staying put here for New Year!” she said, her voice indignant.
Zhang Manhua shook her head wryly. “I’m not done talking yet; don’t interrupt me.”
“En?” Pei Ge looked at her mother in confusion.
“Silly child, of course I turned your cousin down.”
A smile reappeared on her face.
“Mom, I’m telling you, please don’t let your guard down around our relatives. Back when we borrowed money from them for your operation, they refused, and our bungalow…”
As she spoke, a thought flashed across her mind.
Second uncle… Dad’s house…
For some reason, she felt that there was a connection between the two.
