On the road, Hu Xiaobei found out that this time she came from the countryside to visit Murong Qingqing...

"Originally, this visit was to take my daughter back for a blind date, but now it seems unnecessary!"

"Auntie, are you perhaps misunderstanding something, I..."

"I told you, you don't have to explain to me! I'm not going to meddle in you young people's affairs, really!"

"I..."

Hearing her words, Hu Xiaobei's lips twitched, knowing she obviously had misunderstood.

He wanted to explain further, but Hu Xiaobei gave up.

Because Hu Xiaobei suddenly felt that her misunderstanding wasn't so bad after all!

After all, he originally had a good impression of Murong Qingqing...

...

"It seems he's arrived!"

At home, Murong Qingqing heard the doorbell and quickly stood up from the couch!

Before getting ready to open the door, Murong Qingqing took a deep breath and shyly glanced at herself in the mirror.

Assured that her outfit was flawless, she hurried to open the door!

After opening the door, she found Hu Xiaobei standing at the entrance.

To her surprise, it wasn't just Hu Xiaobei, but her mother had also arrived!

"Mom, why are you here!"

"What, can't I come?"

"No, I mean why didn't you let me know, so I could have picked you up!"

"It's not my first time here, I took the bus over!"

...

Hu Xiaobei didn't catch much of their conversation, for now, all he could see was Murong Qingqing, dressed up and looking super beautiful...

Hu Xiaobei had always thought Murong Qingqing was really beautiful!

Now seeing her standing in front of him, wearing a tight black uniform, Hu Xiaobei felt like he was in the presence of a celestial being...

Really!

Whether it was her slender waist that one could encircle with a hand, her beautiful chest that seemed ready to burst out of the tight uniform, or her perfect big butt wrapped in a black tight-fitting skirt, it was all so perfect!

"Wow, there's hope!"

Murong Qingqing's mother noticed the way Hu Xiaobei was looking at her daughter and excitedly praised in her heart!

Soon, she whispered, "Xiaobei, come in!"

"Eh? Oh!"

Hu Xiaobei nodded, and then he heard Murong Qingqing's surprised question, "Mom, you... you know Xiaobei?"

"Yeah!"

After a gentle nod, she recounted what had just happened!

After hearing the story, Murong Qingqing was slightly alarmed, "Xiaobei, thank you. If it wasn't for you, mom might still be lying on the ground!"

"Qingqing, you're being too polite!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei and Murong Qingqing getting along well, she smiled and said, "You young people should communicate well, I'll go check the kitchen and see what to cook!"

While speaking, she walked away!

Noticing her mother winking at her before she left, Murong Qingqing bit her lower lip shyly...

The next second, she pulled Hu Xiaobei aside and whispered, "You little rascal, did you say something to my mom?"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "Qingqing, I swear on my honor! I didn't say anything! It's your mom who always looks at me with the eyes of a mother-in-law."

"What? You think being her son-in-law would be a disadvantage?"

Seeing Murong Qingqing pouting slightly, Hu Xiaobei quickly chuckled and said, "Sister Qingqing, what are you talking about? I'm totally up for it, I'm just worried some people might not agree!"

"Hmph! My mother has already misunderstood anyway, so you might as well pretend to be my boyfriend! That way, she won't be dragging me around to meet potential suitors all the time."

"This... okay then!"

"Good!"

After sorting everything out, the two of them headed back to the living room together...

...

"Little rascal, I really owe you one for letting me go try out in the city. Without your help, I probably would've been stuck at the county TV station for life."

"Sister, I told you before, it's because you've got the spirit. If you weren't determined, even my help wouldn't have made a difference!"

"That's true, I really am excellent!"

After saying this with pride, winking smugly, she lazily kicked off her deep black high-heeled peep-toe shoes from her feet.

Instantly, those little feet, once enclosed in black, began to sway in front of Hu Xiaobei...

Allowing him to distinctly catch a whiff of a faint fragrance mingled with the leather...

...

"Sister, can you consider my feelings a bit?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei speak in helpless resignation, she blinked at him, laughing lightly, and said, "Little brother Xiaobei, you're pretending to be my boyfriend right now. We must have these close moments; otherwise, my mom won't believe we're a couple."

"But..."

Hu Xiaobei hadn't finished speaking when he stopped, because at that moment, he heard footsteps approaching...

Not only did Hu Xiaobei hear them, Murong Qingqing heard them too!

After her lips curled into a slight smirk, Murong Qingqing shyly glanced at Hu Xiaobei and quickly placed her tender, delicate feet directly on his thigh...

Right when Murong Qingqing had them settled, her mother walked over from the kitchen!

Glancing at their ambiguous movements, a hint of amusement flickered in her eyes. Soon after, she said softly, "You must be hungry. I've got a chicken stewing. We can eat shortly!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

"Still calling me Auntie?"

As she said this, her gaze darted to the tender little feet on Hu Xiaobei's leg!

Noticing her look, Hu Xiaobei coughed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's slightly awkward expression, Murong Qingqing chuckled and said, "Mom, Xiaobei is shy. Don't scare him!"

"Oh, is that so? Well, I can't control you young people's affairs, nor do I want to!"

Upon saying this, her tone shifted, "By the way, Qingqing, I heard you were getting transferred to the city. Is that true?"

"Yes, I'll be able to start working in the city next week. Speaking of this, I really have to thank Xiaobei! Had it not been for his help, it would've been impossible!"

"Oh? What happened?"

Seeing her mother's curious look, Murong Qingqing briefly explained the situation!

After finishing her story, she also mentioned Hu Xiaobei's identity to her mother!

When she found out Hu Xiaobei was acquainted with many important people, her eyes lit up...

Seeing her eyes gleam, Hu Xiaobei guessed she must be considering him quite the catch...

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei looked down at Murong Qingqing's tender little feet resting on his thigh and felt that, in that moment, they looked really nice...

Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief!

Because just before, Murong Qingqing had been called into the kitchen by her mother...

"I wonder what they're talking about right now?"

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei turned on the TV and flipped through the channels aimlessly...

In the kitchen, Murong Qingqing's mother began excitedly, "Qingqing, you really have to seize this opportunity and not let him slip away, you know? When the time is right, just 'turn the raw rice into cooked rice', and then he won't be able to run away."

Hearing her mother speak so bluntly, Murong Qingqing's cheeks flushed red...

After a while, she finally regained composure from her embarrassment and said softly, "What 'turn the raw rice into cooked rice'? Mom, what are you saying? Don't talk nonsense!"
