When she saw the jigsaw puzzle scattered all over the living room floor, her brows furrowed deeply.

"Auntie, please sit down. I'll tidy up here right away." Cheng Qicai stepped forward, tossed the puzzle pieces from the floor onto the mat, grabbed the edges on both sides, and then put them back together. Cheng Qicai tidied up and placed them in the corner.

She thought, why is it so unlucky to do a jigsaw puzzle? Last time it was Gu Rongqi who met her parents, and this time it's her who met Gu Rongqi's mother.

Is this puzzle cursed? Why do I keep triggering the key points?

Gu Rongqi made Qianzhi a cup of tea and asked, "Mom, why did you come? You didn't even say anything."

Qianzhi's voice was flat and calm, but it carried a chill. "What, can't I come over?"

"No." Gu Rongqi looked at her. "I was just worried that if we weren't home, you would have made a wasted trip."

Gu Rongqi's use of the word "we" made Qian Zhi's eyes flicker. "You may not be here this time, or next time, but you'll always be here eventually."

When she entered, she saw Gu Rongqi's messy room. She didn't even need to look closely to tell who each of those things belonged to; a glance was enough to tell.

Cheng Qicai went to the kitchen to wash some fruit, cut it into a platter, and brought it out. "Auntie, have some fruit."

Cheng Qicai placed the fruit platter in front of Qian Zhi. She sat on the sofa opposite Gu Rongqi, put her hands on her knees, and looked at Gu Rongqi awkwardly.

Meeting your parents is difficult; meeting parents who don't like you is even more difficult.

Qianzhi glanced at the fruit but didn't say anything.

If she didn't say anything, neither of them felt comfortable bringing it up.

The air remained still.

Until, Golden Bean came out of the room carrying a toy.

Cheng Qicai had a bad feeling when she saw it.

Sure enough, Golden Bean walked straight towards her, picked up the toy and placed it at Cheng Qicai's feet, then nudged the toy towards her with its nose.

It was obvious that it wanted Cheng Qicai to play with it.

Seeing how serious the two looked, she didn't want to move. The three of them were now playing a game of "Red Light, Green Light."

The silly dog ​​kept nudging her. She pushed it away a few times, thinking it was just playing around, but it kept nudging her so much that she couldn't sit still.

How can she be serious now?

Seeing that she wasn't moving, Golden Bean hurriedly jumped onto her lap and sniffed her.

Cheng Qicai was startled when she saw the dog's face suddenly approaching.

Helpless, she winked at it, signaling it to go find Gu Rongqi, and secretly pushed it towards Gu Rongqi with her hand.

He secretly kicked the toy towards Gu Rongqi.

Golden Bean sensed her resistance and wagged its tail toward Gu Rongqi.

However, Cheng Qicai's kicking motion was too small, and Golden Bean's toy was kicked to Qianzhi's feet.

Qianzhi sat between her and Gu Rongqi, while Huangjindou was sitting at her feet with a toy in his mouth.

Unexpectedly, Golden Bean grabbed the toy and jumped onto Qianzhi!

"Ah!!!" Chihiro's heart skipped a beat at the dog's actions. She couldn't even maintain her composure and stood up, letting out a panicked cry.

Golden Bean was also startled by her scream. Its huge body took a step back, knocking over the tea and fruit plates on the table in its haste.

Just then, Chichi stood up to push away the golden bean clinging to her, but she stepped on some fruit that had fallen to the ground. The floor was slippery, and she fell backward. Luckily, she managed to grab the edge of the sofa, but landed squarely on her bottom, turning the fruit into jam.

All of this happened so suddenly that Cheng Qicai and Gu Rongqi didn't even have time to react.

When she came to her senses, she saw Chihi sitting on the ground looking disheveled, her white dress covered in red and yellow fruit stains.

"Golden Bean!" Cheng Qicai immediately stepped forward, grabbed Golden Bean's front paws from behind, and pulled it away from Qianzhi, who was still jumping around wildly.

She controlled the golden bean and asked Qianzhi worriedly, "Auntie, are you alright?"

Gu Rongqi also stepped forward to help Qianzhi up, "Mom, are you alright?"

"It's okay." Qianzhi said breathlessly, patting her chest to calm her frightened heart.

Seeing her disheveled appearance, she angrily closed her eyes tightly.

Cheng Qicai led Huangjindou to its room and locked it inside.

That stupid dog should be locked up. Who told it to be so clueless and daring to mess with the boss's boss?

She walked back to the living room, looked at Qianzhi's appearance, and said, "Auntie, why don't you change into my clothes first?"

Chihiro is about the same size as her, so she should be able to wear her clothes.

Qianzhi coldly refused, "No need... I'll have someone bring over a set of clothes later."

Cheng Qicai still tried to persuade him gently, "It will take some time to deliver it, and your bottom is all wet, it must be very uncomfortable!"

"I don't……"

"I'll go find you an outfit I haven't worn before." With that, Cheng Qicai went into the room and found an outfit for Qianzhi.

"Auntie, here, these are all clothes I've never worn." Cheng Qicai handed her the clothes in her hand.

Seeing that both of them were looking at her, she also felt the sticky, wet sensation on her buttocks, which was actually quite comfortable.

And now she can't even sit down even if she wants to.

After hesitating several times, Qianzhi still took the clothes from her hands.

Cheng Qicai led her to the bathroom and said, "Auntie, the hot water is on the left, and the shower gel is on the shelf... Oh, I forgot to get you a towel, wait a moment..."

Qianzhi listened to Cheng Qicai's rambling with a frown the whole time in the bathroom, and her brows furrowed even more as she looked at the green dress in her hand.

"Auntie, a towel." Cheng Qicai knocked on the door a few times.

A hand reached out from the bathroom, and Cheng Qicai placed a towel in her hand.
