"I haven't thought about it yet..."

Ai Xiaomi murmured softly, "Come on, I can't bear to leave my mother. If you don't come, I think it's an opportunity. I've been fighting with myself recently. Let me think about it again."

"Besides your mother, is there anyone else you can't bear to part with your boyfriend?"

Seeing that Qin Chizhou looked calm, but there was a hint of loss in his eyes, Ai Meiling smiled and teased her daughter.

???

"mom?"

Ai Xiaomi looked at her mother suspiciously, "Have you met anyone recently, or heard anything from anyone?"

Over the years, the mother and daughter have depended on each other, and their relationship is much closer than that of ordinary mothers and daughters.

Many times, Ai Xiaomi said that her mother was her best friend.

Ai Xiaomi tells Ai Meiling whatever she wants to say, and Ai Meiling never asks if she doesn't want to say it.

Even when she occasionally mentioned her boyfriend, Ai Meiling would just casually ask a few questions about what he had eaten or what he had played. She never asked questions like when they would get married, how old he was, what he did, etc.

And this was the first time that Ai Meiling tentatively asked her about the relationship between her and her boyfriend.

For a moment, Ai Xiaomi wondered if Qin Chizhou had said something to her mother on the phone.

After all, although her leaving without saying goodbye was not a big blow to Qin Shao, given Qin Chizhou's personality, he would definitely not let her go so easily.

She used to be a contracted model of Jianfan, and Qin Chizhou could find her emergency contact, phone number and other information with just one phone call.

"No……"

Ai Meiling denied it with a gentle smile, "I saw no signs of you leaving, so I thought you were having a quarrel or breaking up or something."

"We've split up."

Ai Xiaomi answered calmly, "While there is no one I like, the sooner I break up, the sooner I can be free."

Broke up?

Ai Xiaomi, just wait and see how I deal with you! You told me you were going on a business trip.

And solemnly informed her that he did not agree!!!

But thinking of what Ai Xiaomi said, that her mother would support her unconditionally no matter what she did, Qin Chizhou decided to endure it! When he came to his senses, he saw that the video call had ended without him knowing when.

Ai Meiling put a piece of hairtail into his bowl.

"Eat quickly. Once you're done, go back to the capital early to spend the New Year with your parents."

Just as gentle as before, she did not drive him away with a cold face just because Ai Xiaomi said they had broken up.

Qin Chizhou lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Mom."

After dinner, Qin Chizhou didn’t stay long. He took the basket of salted duck eggs prepared for him by Ai Meiling and boarded the plane back to the capital.

It was almost dawn when Qin Chizhou walked out of the Imperial Capital Airport. He looked up at the dark night sky above his head and called Ye Wan.

"sister in law……"

The phone rang twice before it connected. Qin Chizhou said with a heavy nasal voice, "I know you're great at using the computer! Can you help me?"

In Yuehu Bay Apartment, Ye Wan listened to the request made by Qin Chizhou on the other end of the phone and blinked, "You... are a bit too much."

"You've already lost your girlfriend, are you going to make me lose another friend?"

After a long silence, no one knew what was said on the other end. Ye Wan glared at Lu Changchuan who had been looking at her, and sighed softly, "Okay, I'll try."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Wan met Lu Changchuan's inquiring eyes and said with a teasing expression, "Do you men have several backup accounts?"

Thinking of Lu Changchuan and Lu Chuan’s two WeChat accounts, I also thought about what Qin Chizhou was going to do.

Before Ye Wan could stand up, Lu Changchuan pulled her back into his arms and kissed her, "Different paths to the same destination, all for you..."

Qin Xiaozhou: Wife, I was wrong!

Ai Xiaomi: ??? Who are you? Do we know each other? 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
