Qiao Chutian, however, greeted her politely, "Hello, Auntie!"
Hearing him call out "Auntie," Mai's mother's heart, which had been weighed down with worry while waiting for Xiaomai, suddenly blossomed with happiness. She smiled so broadly that her eyes seemed to disappear, "Good, good, good, thank you so much for personally bringing Xiaomai back. Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
"I'm sorry, but it's already night, and I must be going. I'll certainly pay a visit when I have the time," he said.
Qiao Chutian glanced at Mai Xiaomai and then said to her mother, "I'm leaving now, goodbye."
"Goodbye!"
The more Mai's mother looked at Qiao Chutian, the more she liked him, sending him off with a starry-eyed gaze as his car sped away.
"Mom, Dad is still here. Aren't you afraid he'll get jealous with the way you're ogling another man?"
Xiaomai said, sweat forming on her brow as she watched her mother's antics.
