7 Mu Qingqing

Lilian Mo reclined on her sofa and thought about ways where she could tell Mu Qingqing about the incoming doomsday.

"Qingqing, I'm going shopping tomorrow for some clothes and supplies. Come with me." She said, knowing that the girl likes shopping.

Mu Qingqing immediately brightened. "Momo, you finally asked me to go shopping with you! Great, I'll tell Daddy and have him wire some money on my account. We can also watch movies tomorrow and eat at one of my family's restaurants. Momo, this is good!"

The girl jumped and hugged her arm like a koala. "I've always wanted to do girly stuff with Momo!"

Lilian Mo smiled awkwardly and patted her back. "Bring a lot of money. We'll raid the stores."

The girl became even more excited after hearing that. Mu Qingqing was only just sixteen like Lilian Mo and like any other girl, she also likes to shop for clothes and pieces of jewelry. She would never pass out an offer like this.

"Okay, Momo!"

Lilian Mo nodded. "It's late. Sleep in the guest room. I will call Auntie and tell her that you're staying for the night. You can use some of my clothes in the closet..."

Mu Qingqing flashed towards her room before Lilian Mo could finish. In her room, she could hear the girl shouting and gushing about being in 'her Momo's room' and seeing 'her Momo's stuff'.

"I get to wear the same clothes as Momo!" Mu Qingqing pulled out some blue pajamas then went inside the bathroom to change. She did not forget to look around once again so she could see all of the stuff Lilian Mo uses.

"Strange, Momo has such good skin but only uses a facial cleanser and moisturizer? Beautiful people are naturally beautiful. Momo, I am so envious of you!"

Lilian Mo ignored her and brought some pillows and quilt towards the guest room. Then she called Auntie Mu and told her that Mu Qingqing was staying for the night in her apartment. Auntie Mu did not say much. She was used to her daughter doing all sorts of things to get closer to Lilian Mo. It was almost fanatical that sometimes it scared her.

Auntie Mu trusted Lilian Mo despite her daughter's eccentric behavior and allowed Mu Qingqing to stay for the night.

When Mu Qingqing got out, she directed her to the guest room but the girl stubbornly refused and jumped on Lilian Mo's bed.

"No way!" Mu Qingqing said. "I want to sleep on the same bed as Momo! I want to sleep on the pillows that Momo used and I want to use the blanket that covered Momo!"

Lilian Mo inwardly sighed at the girl's childish behavior before reluctantly nodding her head. She went to the guest room instead, much to the girl's dismay.

"Momo! I want to sleep together with you!" Just when Lilian Mo was going to sleep, a figure crawled inside her quilt and laid beside her. The smell of cherry wafted her nose. She was too exhausted to reprimand the girl and surrendered helplessly.

"Be good, little girl. Go to sleep. We need to wake up early tomorrow."

After sending the child to sleep, Lilian Mo also went to sleep.

She woke up early in the morning, around seven in the morning, and started to make some light breakfast. She fried some eggs and sausages, toasted some bread, and poured herself some milk. She made a simple western breakfast for Mu Qingqing.

When she went to check up on the girl, Mu Qingqing was still fast asleep. There was drool on her lips and she was snoring. Lilian Mo rubbed her tired eyes and wondered how on earth she managed to sleep while someone was snoring loudly beside her.

"Qingqing, wake up." She shook the girl awake for a few seconds before urging her to wash her face.

Mu Qingqing rubbed her eyes tiredly before blinking. A smile bloomed on her face and she hugged Lilian Mo with vigor.

"It's real! I really slept in Momo's house! Momo, you smell so nice! Did you make breakfast?"

Lilian Mo poked the little girl's nose and dumped her in the bathroom.

"Go wash first then join me for breakfast. "

Lilian Mo decided to eat first because she was hungry. Mu Qingqing joined her afterward and started singing praises about the food she made.

"Drink your milk. You're too small." Mu Qingqing pouted when she heard her Momo say this but she still ended up drinking the milk.

Lilian Mo took a shower first and changed into some clean clothes which was a white floral dress with short sleeves. She wore flats instead of heels because she was already tall at 1.71 cm. She didn't need to wore heels to add more to that.

Anyway, heels would no longer be needed in the apocalypse.

The two of them used Lilian Mo's car and drove to the mall.

"Momo, look at that! Those dresses are so pretty! They would look good on Momo!" Lilian Mo almost went dizzy with how Mu Qingqing was roaming the shelves and pointing at all sorts of fluffy dresses.

Lilian Mo ignored her and went to buy practical clothes like t-shirts, hoodies, sweaters, and winter coats. Her eyes widened upon seeing some boots and thought immediately about buying some combat boots for herself.

She also bought some for Mu Qingqing and made sure to ask for the girl's foot size.

Lilian Mo dumped back the dresses that Mu Qingqing grabbed from the shelves, much to the girl's dismay.

"You won't be needing those things after two months' time. Listen to me and buy some practical clothes for yourself. Don't forget to buy a sweater and hoodie."

"Momo... But why?"

Lilian Mo stared at her with hard eyes. "Listen to me. I will never lie to you. In two months' time, a meteor will fall on Earth and it will signal the dawn of the apocalypse. If you want to survive, preparing before the end comes will give you higher chances of survival."

Mu Qingqing looked like she did not believe her. Lilian Mo frowned and didn't pursue the matter.

She allowed the girl to go.

"Do what you want. But I've never lied to you." She reminded Mu Qingqing before going to the men's section to check for some coats.
