Chapter 22

Xu Lian was currently working in her store today. She and Xiang ChangKong had an appointment to watch a movie at 3:20 this afternoon. After watching, they would go have dinner together. Seeing that it was almost time for them to meet up, she cleaned up her workstation, then went downstairs to talk to Zhang GuoEr. "I'm going to go out. Please close up at 6:30."

"Alright Boss, walk slowly!"

Xu Lian looked back towards her just as she closed the front door. Ignoring Zhang GuoEr's weird words, she turned back and walked towards her car. Right after Xu Lian left her line of sight, Zhang GuoEr immediately took out her small notebook and began writing: "The Boss is going out on a date with that young brother. She even specially changed her usual lipstick to a different color! It turns out the Boss has a maiden's heart after all!"

Xu Lian entered her car, then began straightening her hair using the rearview mirror. Just as she was about to start her car, she hears her phone ring. Thinking it was Xiang ChangKong, she immediately opened her bag. But when she took out her phone, the name on the screen was her mother's.

She answered the call and confused, asked: "Mom? What's wrong?"

Xu Lian's mother replied with a happy tone: "Daughter, I'm at the airport right now. Come and meet me."

"...." Xu Lian was silent for a while. Then she asked: "Which airport?"

"Where else? A City International Airport, ah."

"You came back? What about dad?"

Mother Xu replied: "Your father's project is still going to take a few more months to finish, so I came back alone. It's your father's doing. When he heard that you had a boyfriend, he urged me to go and have a look."

Xu Lian: "........."

Xu Lian was quiet for a moment, before she said: "OK, I'll go pick you up now."

After hanging up, Xu Lian softly sighed, then went to call Xiang ChangKong.

While walking around the mall, Xiang ChangKong heard his phone ring. When he saw that it was Xu Lian, he quickly answered it and asked: "Xu Lian, you're there already?"

"No, are you?"

"Ah, I just arrived." Xiang ChangKong looked at the time. There was still an hour before the movie started. "It's still early, so take your time."

Xu Lian's tone was very apologetic when she replied: "I'm sorry, my mother suddenly came back, so I have to pick her up from the airport."

Xiang ChangKong blinked. Her mother came back?

Xiang ChangKong answered: "It doesn't matter, go pick up your mother first. We can go out next time."

Xu Lian frowned for a bit, the said: 'Why don't you go directly to my place? My mother actually came back to meet you specifically. Why not take advantage of this opportunity and fulfill her wish?"

"M-meet your mother?" Having a date suddenly turn into meeting the parents, Xiang ChangKong immediately went tense. "B-but I haven't prepared anything."

Xu Lian: "You don't need to prepare anything, just come to my house. She came back unannounced, after all."

"Even if you say so, it's still not good to come empty-handed...." Xiang ChangKong pursed his lips and thought about what to bring Xu Lian's mother. "Well, I'm in Starlight Mall right now, so I'll go and after I buy something."

"Well...." Xu Lian thought about it, then said: "Alright, but you don't need to buy anything too expensive. It was only my mother that came back. We can have a proper meal when my father finishes his work and comes back."
