For Zhou Huiyu, a mother, the fact that her daughter has made her first friend is a joyous occasion, regardless of that person's social status or background.

More importantly—because Li Bingchen's status was different, she had even more 'reason' to have Yun Duo 'personally' prepare things to entertain Li Bingchen.

"Duo'er, the most important thing in friendship is sincerity. You and His Highness the Fifth Prince are friends, so originally, we shouldn't be concerned about status. But as you just said, His Highness the Fifth Prince has helped you a lot. Since he's both a friend and has helped you, you should prepare something nice to invite him over," Zhou Huiyu said with a smile.

Yun Duo blinked and looked at Zhou Huiyu: "But Mom, we're good friends, so there's no need for special preparations. When we were at our home in Qingping County, he came to our house, and I told him not to be shy and to make himself at home. Mom, if I make too much of a show of preparations, he'll feel awkward."

"Mom, don't worry. We've known each other for a long time. He won't care about those little details."

“I’m so busy, and I don’t even know when he’ll come. He’s already said he’ll come when he has time, and he says he’s usually very busy. I’ve also told him that I’m going to choose a farm these days and won’t be home, so he won’t be coming these days.”

Zhou Huiyu couldn't hide her disappointment. She tried to hold it in, but finally couldn't. Looking at Yun Duo, she said in her usual way, "Daughter, about choosing a farm, your father can just have someone accompany Dr. Zhou. You shouldn't go, right? You're just a child. What if you get tired from running around?"

“I’m not tired.” Yun Duo shook her head and said, “I used to walk two hours to school every day, and I was used to it. Now that I’m in Kyoto, I take the bus everywhere except for home and the area near home. My grandparents told me the other day that they weren’t used to it. I’m not used to it either.”

Gu Shaoyong chimed in, "More exercise and walking are good for your health. If the child wants to go, let her go. It's not a bad thing. Anyway, someone will be with her."

The cloud nodded vigorously.

Zhou Huiyu was a little unhappy.

She couldn't do anything with her daughter, but she was absolutely certain of her husband's abilities, so she immediately glared at Gu Shaoyong.

Gu Shaoyong was also helpless, but he could only coax Zhou Huiyu: "I know you love your daughter dearly, and you're afraid of dropping her if you hold her in your hands or melting her if you keep her in your mouth. But the child is already so big. She is a smart and independent child. She knows what she is doing. We brought the child back to make her happy, not to stop her or prevent her from doing this or that."

"Think about it, when you were her age, were you happy when your elders in the family stopped you from doing this or that?"

That must be unpleasant!

Thinking about it, Zhou Huiyu felt a little embarrassed: "I understand the reasoning, but I just... can't help but worry."

Knowing that Zhou Huiyu was worried about her and valued her too much, Yun Duo wasn't angry at Zhou Huiyu for trying to stop her from doing things. Instead, she felt a little warm inside.

Of course... whatever she wants to do, she has to do.

You can also coax your mom.

Hmm... After accepting these two relatives, Yun Duo will also consider things from their perspective, so she immediately started to act coquettishly towards Zhou Huiyu.

Zhou Huiyu naturally... forgot everything.
