When Lu Chuqing returned home from school, she found that Lu Ying had already come back.
After changing her shoes in the entryway and tossing her schoolbag on the small sofa, the young girl ran into the kitchen, hugged the woman's slender waist, and inhaled the woman's unique fragrance.
"Why is Mom home so early today?"
Lu Ying was frying the sashimi she had brought back in a bag. She fried each side of the fish for a few dozen seconds, then used tongs to take it out and put it on a plate to let it rest and cook with the residual heat.
"Sigh, Mom doesn't get along with that company, so she's not going to work there anymore."
Lu Chuqing was somewhat surprised to hear this, "What's the reason you can't get along? Do they think Mom doesn't have enough experience?"
It wasn't that she was deliberately exaggerating her mother's abilities. Lu Ying had indeed put a lot of effort into her studies during those years. Long before graduating from university, she had already submitted her design proposals online, and some people actually liked them and she received a considerable amount of money.
However, she was busy studying and improving herself, and in her spare time she was also working on conceiving a new book, so she didn't submit her work online very often.
But every time she submits a piece, someone takes a liking to it. So in terms of experience, Lu Ying is actually not a newcomer.
The woman knew her daughter knew everything, but she still didn't want to tell her those disgusting things, so she made up an excuse.
“My mom thought her boss was too ugly. She couldn’t concentrate on her work just by looking at his ugly face, so she quit.”
The reason sounds ridiculous, but Lu Chuqing can understand it perfectly.
Just like her math teacher was a bald, middle-aged man, she didn't even want to listen to the lesson when she saw his scruffy face.
If it weren't for her vocational school diploma from her previous life, she wouldn't even have scored 60 points in elementary school math.
However, her English teacher was a very fashionable young beauty, and she always seemed to have inexhaustible energy during English class.
So she comforted Lu Ying, and said earnestly with her still childish face, "Mom, there's more than one company. If we don't get along, we can find another one that we like. We can't make ourselves suffer!"
The woman smiled helplessly, "Alright, alright, let's find another boss who's handsome, okay?"
Lu Chuqing was full of interest. "Of course! He has to be the kind of refined scoundrel who wears a different suit every day, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and half-black-rimmed glasses!"
"Hehe, having a boss like that is not only pleasing to the eye, but it also gives me more energy for work!"
Listening to the little girl beside her chattering away, Lu Ying's face was full of helpless smiles.
Ever since the little girl confessed to her, he has become increasingly unreserved, often saying nonsensical things in her ear.
Although she felt helpless, she couldn't deny that both she and Lu Chuqing were somewhat attracted to good-looking people.
Listening to what she said, I would also imagine a man in my mind who was extremely handsome, well-built, and well-dressed.
However, upon hearing "the refined scoundrel with half-rimmed glasses," her mind instantly conjured up Xi Jun's face—wearing half-rimmed glasses, his ears bright red, wanting to look but not daring to look at her.
She laughed at herself helplessly. Not long ago, she had said she wanted to try dating a man, and now, after only a short time apart, she was already thinking about him.
However, although Xi Jun is not the domineering CEO type, his easily shy nature is quite alluring.
Lu Ying couldn't deny that a large part of the reason she was willing to try dating Xi Jun was because she found his bright red earlobes particularly alluring.
I really want to...
Hmm... Could it be that she really hasn't had a man for years and is now unleashing her animalistic desires?
The woman shook her head to clear away the pixelated images, picked up the fried fish and reminded Lu Chuqing to wash her hands and eat.
The little girl answered and asked while washing her hands, "Did Mom go to eat Japanese food?"
Lu Ying didn't want to hide it from her, "Yes, it's with the man who lent me clothes last time."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the girl who was in the kitchen a second ago teleported to the opposite side of her, her wide eyes filled with gossip.
"You just had a meal?"
Knowing that the girl was mostly concerned about her, Lu Ying briefly explained her relationship with Xi Jun.
“That man likes me, and I think he’s pretty good, so I’m planning to give it a try.”
Fearing that her mother would be deceived by appearances, Lu Chuqing lost her gossipy interest and asked seriously, "Mom, how long have you known him before he liked you? My mom is so beautiful, I think it's very likely that he was just lusting after her."
"Mom, you need to pay more attention to the details of your interactions with him. Often, the details reveal what kind of person he is."
Lu Ying pinched her little face, her eyes filled with emotion and relief. "Thank you so much for caring about Mommy, my darling. But Mommy really did pay close attention this time. That man is quite well-mannered."
"I was supposed to treat him to dinner, but I don't know when he paid the bill. I wouldn't have known if the waiter hadn't told me he had paid."
Lu Ying probably didn't know that when she mentioned Xi Jun, the corners of her mouth were already curving upwards.
Lu Chuqing looked at her and knew that this time the woman really wanted to try with that man.
Over the years, she has encouraged women to find another partner many times, but the women themselves are not very willing to do so.
Once, during a heart-to-heart talk, the woman told her that she particularly envied her two sisters-in-law.
Therefore, the most important thing she wants in a partner is someone who loves her wholeheartedly and loves her wholeheartedly. As long as he or she is presentable in appearance, she will be satisfied.
She won't even look at something that isn't what she wants.
So after all these years, the woman is still single.
But now that she's willing to give it a try with that man, it seems he really likes her, which is why he was able to touch her heart that had been dormant for so long.
Lu Chuqing smiled, her eyes filled with blessings, "Since Mom has made up her mind, then Qingqing will wait to meet her future stepfather!"
Hearing the little girl's words, Lu Ying slapped her shoulder in annoyance, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother just decided to start dating!"
