The mother-in-law's approval

After the pleasantries were done, Jun asked if he could use her kitchen to make the apple pie.

"I should be really making it as I am the host," Xie Nuying insisted.

"It's fine. You are meeting Ai after a long time. So catch up with her until I make the pie. You must have a lot to talk about."

"Indeed. Okay then."

"Thank you."

Jun went ahead in the kitchen while Xie Nuying sat beside Ai. "Congratulations on winning the Summit. I loved your story."

Ai's pupils held a beautiful light in them. "Thank you Mom."

"You have been working hard. I am proud of you," she patted her head.

Ai held her hand and softly asked, "Mom, are you…are you still against me writing?"

Xie Nuying glanced at her. "I just wanted you to have a good and stable future, unlike your father."

Her brow twitched.
