Chen Dong and Zhou Huimin bought the items and drove back to the Zhou family home.
Wolong and the others followed in another car.
When the two arrived at the Zhou family's residence, Wolong and the other bodyguards hid nearby.
After all, today's situation is rather special, and it's not suitable for Chen Dong to bring so many people.
"Mom, we're back."
At her doorstep, Vivian Chow rang the doorbell and said...
With a click, the door was quickly opened.
With a smile, Zhou's mother said, "Oh dear, why are you all out so late? Amin, even if you're not hungry, Chen Dong will be."
"Hello, Auntie," Chen Dong said with a faint smile.
Then, Zhou's mother invited the two of them inside.
A sumptuous dinner has been prepared in the restaurant.
Zhou's mother said happily, "I just made some soup, it's especially delicious. You wait here, I'll go get some soup."
At this moment, Chen Dong stood up and said, "Auntie, let me go. You've been busy all day, take a rest."
Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother immediately waved her hand and said, "There's no reason for you to do anything. Just sit here. Amin, come and help me."
After hearing Zhou's mother's words, Chen Dong couldn't insist.
Zhou Huimin and her mother went into the kitchen one after the other, while Chen Dong stood in the dining room, watching helplessly.
Inside the kitchen, Zhou Huimin was busy serving soup.
Zhou's mother glanced at Zhou Huimin and asked in a low voice, "Amin, how far have things progressed between you and Chen Dong? Have you made any progress on the matter I asked you about?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huimin's cheeks flushed red; she naturally understood what her mother meant.
However, Zhou Huimin has never found a suitable opportunity.
So, Vivian Chow said awkwardly, "Mom, it's no use trying. Brother Dong is very busy lately and is often not in Hong Kong."
Hearing her daughter say this, Zhou's mother said with a stern face, "Amin, how could you be so foolish? How can you keep dragging this on? You really are..."
Zhou Huimin was very shy and immediately took the soup bowl and went out, trying to avoid the topic.
Unexpectedly, during the meal, Zhou's mother suddenly said, "Chen Dong, you and Amin have been together for a while now. You are both adults, and I, as an elder, will not interfere in adult matters. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters."
Chen Dong was taken aback, and he subconsciously looked at Zhou Huimin.
Under the lights, Vivian Chow's face was flushed, and she looked very shy.
Chen Dong was incredibly clever; he immediately realized the hidden meaning behind Zhou's mother's words.
This was the first time Chen Dong had ever experienced such a situation.
Zhou Huimin raised her head, and when she looked at Chen Dong, her eyes were full of expectation.
At this moment, Zhou's mother said again, "Chen Dong, a man should always settle down and start a family. You've achieved success in your career, have you thought about settling down?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong immediately said, "Auntie, I'll only be in my early twenties next year, so there's no rush to get married. Marriage is a big deal, and it's always better to be more mature about it."
"Oh, I see," Zhou's mother said casually.
At this moment, Zhou's mother's expression clearly turned sour.
However, Zhou's mother did not react on the spot, but chose to endure it.
A look of disappointment appeared on Vivian Chow's face.
She didn't question Chen Dong at this time, nor did she bring up the matter again.
Zhou Huimin forced a smile and chimed in, "Mom, Dong-ge and I are still young. It's better for us to mature a bit before getting married. Let's consider these things when we're more mature."
Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother couldn't help but glare at Zhou Huimin.
In front of Chen Dong, Zhou's mother couldn't say anything.
At this moment, Zhou's mother was very distressed.
She was surprised by her daughter's attitude towards Chen Dong, which clearly showed that she was completely devoted to him.
On the other hand, Zhou's mother's past worries resurfaced.
Zhou Huimin is already siding with outsiders before she's even married. What if Chen Dong is like those rich men who only like the young and beautiful Zhou Huimin?
In a few years, Zhou Huimin will be old and faded, and Chen Dong will get tired of her and easily kick her to the curb.
With Chen Dong's status, what can Zhou Huimin do?
Thinking about all this made Zhou's mother even more unhappy.
The meal was eaten in silence.
Each of the three had their own thoughts, and they all tacitly refrained from mentioning the matter again.
Zhou Huimin looked at Chen Dong and noticed that he was actually quite reserved and not enjoying the dinner.
Zhou Huimin could understand Chen Dong, and she knew how much he cared for her.
Thinking about it, Zhou Huimin felt even more sorry for Chen Dong's current situation. However, there were some things that Zhou Huimin could not argue with her mother about, after all, her mother was only doing it for her own good.
At this moment, Zhou Huimin spoke up, "Mom, Dong-ge has a meeting later. It's almost time, so I'll see him downstairs first so as not to delay company business."
Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother nodded and said, "Alright then."
Afterwards, Zhou Huimin escorted Chen Dong downstairs.
The two went downstairs, and Chen Dong looked at Zhou Huimin and said apologetically, "Amin, was my answer tonight too abrupt?"
“Dong-ge, no. I really like your frankness. I hope you don’t mind what my mother said. She wasn’t targeting you. My mother just hopes I can find a partner soon,” Zhou Huimin explained.
Chen Dong expressed his understanding; in fact, he did not dislike Zhou's mother's actions.
Only a mother who truly loves her daughter can do this.
If Zhou's mother doesn't approve of Chen Dong, there won't be any dinner tonight.
After chatting for a few minutes, Chen Dong and Wolong left.
