Chapter 4843: In The Remaining Lifetime (23)

Pudding got up and followed her mother upstairs.

Lets change into our home clothes. Dont dress so professionally. Its too tiring.

Huo Mian brought Pudding into her bedroom and found a set of cute green home clothes in her closet.

Pudding obediently changed out of her mermaid skirt and put on her home clothes.

Huo Mian carefully picked up the clothes Pudding had changed out of. Ill take them to the laundry room. Ill put them in your closet after drying them tomorrow.

Thank you, Mom.

Why are you being so polite with me?

After Huo Mian came back from the laundry room, Pudding was still in her bedroom, playing with her phone on a couch.

The two girls had been sleeping separately since they were six years old. It was also to train their independence.

Separate rooms were prepared for them at the South Hill Manor.

The room they were staying in previously had become Qin Guoguos room.

When Huo Mian returned, she sat down next to her daughter.

Has your work been tiring lately?

Its okay. Pudding put away her phone and looked at her mother.

If youre stressed, tell your dad to a.s.sign some of your work to someone else. Your paternal and maternal aunt, uncle, and Uncle Yang can do it Huo Mian always knew that her eldest daughter was a workaholic, and she had a strong career ambition. She was afraid that she would overwork herself. After all, she was still young.

Its okay, Mom, I can handle it, Pudding said nonchalantly.

There was no emotion on her face. She was a child very hard to read.

This was something about her that was even stronger than her parents.

Even though her heart was in turmoil, she would appear calm on the surface.

Sometimes, Huo Mian felt that Pudding resembled her younger self.

However, she didnt want her to be too much like her. After all, her stubborn personality could be quite damaging to herself sometimes.

After a pause, Huo Mian lowered her head and stopped asking.

Mom, just say what you want to say

Pudding could tell that her mother had something to say, even before she spoke.

Your Auntie Xiaowei came today and talked to me alone. She said she doesnt know what happened between you and Yunchu, but he hasnt been back for a few years. You know, during the Spring Festival, your Auntie Xiaowei and her family went to America to visit Yunchu and spend time with him Actually, as elders, we shouldnt ask about what happened between the two of you But, Pudding, your Auntie Xiaowei and your Uncle Wei are my best friends. Even if you and Yunchu dont like each other, you should be friends. Dont make things too nasty. We dont want to see that happen.

As expected, Pudding knew that something that even her mother was reluctant to talk about wasnt a good thing.

Very few people dared to mention Wei Yunchu in front of Pudding.

Back when Wei Yunchu left the country and Pudding had a fever, Qin Chu didnt allow anyone to talk about it.

Now that a few years had pa.s.sed, everything seemed so peaceful

But Xiaowei came that day with teary eyes. She said she hoped that Pudding and Yunchu could resolve the misunderstanding.

Even if they didnt like each other and couldnt become lovers, they could still be friends.

Wei Yunchu definitely had formed a barrier in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldnt have stayed away from home for so many years.

Occasionally, Boyuan would call Wei Yunchu.

Pudding heard from Boyuan that Wei Yunchu had changed a lot. He didnt like to talk or express himself anymore.

Pudding didnt know what to do even though she felt bad.

Now that her mother had brought up the past, she naturally felt complicated

Mom between Wei Yunchu and me its not what you think. We havent become enemies Maybe were just not compatible If he comes back to China now, Ill treat him like a normal friend. Dont worry, I wont disregard Auntie Xiaoweis face.

Did things between you and Yunchu become like this because of Tiantian? Huo Mian couldnt help but ask.
