Chapter 411 - Spoiled, Naive, Attention-Seeker (1/2)
-Qiu Family House-
Last night, Dylan had real trouble sleeping. Who knew that even he would be an overthinker? But since he slept almost at the break of dawn, he didn't wake up at his usual time.
”QIU HEDI!!!”
His mother's loud voice scared Dylan even in his sleep. And soon, his ear was being pulled by his mother as always. Seriously! Did she think he was still a teenager or something? Why was she always pulling his ear?!
Dylan opened his eyes while trying to stop himself from shouting. ”Ma, what is wrong with you? What have I done now?”
”How dare you try to hide things from me now?” Zhao Wei was really furious. Mostly because she was used to her son sharing and complaining to her all the time. But since he hid something, she wasn't very pleased with him.
”Mother Empress! This unfilial son of yours beseeches you to let this poor son go!” Zhao Wei's face twitched at his performance. ”Bestow your mercy!”
Zhao Wei let his ear go and poked his head, ”You're really unfilial!”
Dylan rubbed his ear saying, ”Would you mind telling me what have I done to empurple my Mother Empress?”
Zhao Wei eyed him dangerously. Dylan cowered back hiding under his comforter. This spoiled kid was really not comfortable with his mother's gaze. Why did she look so mad?
”You have a girlfriend and you didn't even bother telling your mother? Why am I the last person to know about this?”
”I have a girlfriend?” Dylan stared at her dumbfounded. ”How come I have a girlfriend and I'm clueless about it?”
Zhao Wei almost shoved her phone screen on his face. ”Then explain this!”
”About that...” he tried to speak but didn't know how to continue, ”She's not my girlfriend...” Zhao Wei's unhappy frown suddenly shifted to sparkling eyes when he concluded his sentence with, ”Yet!”
She sat down beside him and eagerly looked at him, ”So, I can expect some progress huh?”
”I'm trying here,” answered Dylan.
”I don't have faith in you though,” was Zhao Wei's straightforward reply. It sounded more like a dis. ”Who is she? What's her name? When can I meet her?”
”Easy there now, mother Empress!” Dylan smiled at his mother awkwardly. She was more excited than he was. ”Give me a break. I'll tell you everything.”
Zhao Wei pouted in disappointment and got up to leave saying, ”Whatever happens, you better keep me updated. If you hid anything, I won't go easy on you.”
”Ma, you're being nosy in your a_d_u_l_t son's love life, that's not very nice.”
”The day you started acting like an a_d_u_l_t, I might really stop being this nosy. For now, you just worry me so much.” Indeed, Zhao Wei was more concerned with knowing what he was up to. Since this son of hers was bad at many things. Not only that he was a hopeless case when it came to romance! She didn't want to see him end up defeated. ”Tell me if you need help.”
