"Mianmian," she gestured with her eyes, "come to the kitchen and heat up a glass of milk for me!"
"Mom, can't you do it yourself?"
"Just come when I tell you to! Stop with the nonsense!"
Jiang Mianmian felt strange and followed Su Aiqian into the kitchen. Su Aiqian closed the sliding door and, with a hint of exasperation, quietly scolded her daughter:
"She stays up all night to cook for him, does she really think of him as her husband?"
"mom……"
Jiang Mianmian blushed and gave her a reproachful look.
Su Ai took her daughter's little hand in front of her.
There were a few red marks from the oil burn on her fair hands, which really pained her.
"Oh dear, my daughter's hands... they're all burned like this! Did I raise you all these years just so you could serve others?"
Jiang Mianmian pursed her lips, a warm feeling welling up inside her, and couldn't help but smile.
She was always pampered by the Jiang family. Although the family wasn't wealthy, she was the apple of her parents' eye. She had never even washed a chopstick in her entire life.

Su Ai wasn't afraid of anything else, except that her daughter would be deceived and not find happiness.
"Mianmian," she held her daughter's hand and earnestly advised, "We haven't figured out this person's background yet, so you must be mindful of your boundaries and stay true to yourself, understand?"
Jiang Mianmian was a little embarrassed, "Mom, what are you saying..."
"What Mom means is that girls need to protect themselves!"
"Okay, okay, I understand!" Whenever this matter is mentioned, Jiang Mianmian thinks of that inexplicable night, and her heart aches as if insects are biting her.
"Hey, I think he's finished eating." Su Ai leaned out and clicked her tongue. "Wow... such a big plate, and he finished it in no time! Not only does he eat fast, but he eats so much! Should I ask him for more allowance from now on?"
