858 Do You Love Him? (1/2)
Lu Zihao offered to wash the dishes but Sun Jingfei refused his help and gently kicked him out of the kitchen. However, he still refused to leave, choosing instead to stand there and accompany her. The two chatted with each other. There was no awkwardness between them. The conversation flowed naturally, as if they had been close to each other for a long time.
Lu Zihao gave her a quick peck on the cheek right in front of Sun Jingfei before heading to the bathroom to take a shower as well. Long Jinjing's face turned red while her mother looked at her with amusement.
The mother and daughter headed to Long Jinjing's bedroom. Sun Jingfei helped her daughter blow-dry her hair while Long Jinjing applied light makeup on herself.
”I like Zihao,” Sun Jingfei said all of a sudden. ”I didn't expect that he's such a charming, young man despite his scary appearance.”
Long Jinjing's face turned red again and she avoided her mother's gaze on the mirror. She didn't know how to respond to her mother because the charming Lu Zihao that her mother interacted with today wasn't the same devilish Lu Zihao who fucked her hard every chance he got. Ah, just thinking of the word ”fuck” was so embarrassing!
Sun Jingfei chuckled seeing her red-faced daughter. However, there was also some sadness behind her smile. Every parent would feel this way upon realizing that their child was no longer a little kid but a full-grown adult.
”He's much better than that douchebag you dated in university,” she told her daughter. ”That immature boy only wanted to get into your pants.”
Long Jinjing bit her lower lip. She couldn't tell her mother that Lu Zihao also only wanted to get into her pants and that he agreed to become her boyfriend because he wanted to have sex with her again after their one-night stand. This kind of information wasn't appropriate to be shared with one's own parent. Being caught by her mother with her boyfriend this morning was already enough embarrassment for Long Jinjing.
Sun Jingfei finished blow-drying her hair and started arranging it in an elegant braided bun. ”Don't forget about our dinner later tonight.”
”Mom, I don't think—”
”My child, I want to get to know your new boyfriend and maybe also grill him a little harder about his true intentions in being in a relationship with you.”
Her mother continued speaking, ”But I'm sure that Zihao is a good man. He's Sir Lu Jianhong's grandson after all. Sir Lu is one of the greatest businessmen not only in the country but in the world. Yet despite being a businessman, Zihao mentioned that he had been mostly raised by his grandfather. It means that Sir Lu prioritizes his family. I'm sure that Zihao was raised to have that important value as well.”
Long Jinjing didn't comment. Her mother had been deceived by her boyfriend today. The truth was that the man was a beast.
”There you go,” Sun Jingfei said, presenting the completed braided bun.
Long Jinjing turned her head from side to side to study her hairstyle for today. It was elegant and feminine but still work-appropriate. ”Thank you, Mom. It's beautiful.”
”No, my child. YOU are beautiful.”
Long Jinjing couldn't help but smile. Warmth filled her heart. She felt thankful everyday to have a mother like Sun Jingfei. They might not have the legitimate wife and daughter status in a judgmental society but Long Jinjing couldn't ask for a better mother than Sun Jingfei. She was the best mother that Long Jinjing could ask for in the whole world. She knew that even if the entire world turned its back on her, her mother would always take her side no matter what.
