Yu Lili suddenly found the whole situation hilarious. She laughed and said, “Ou Ming, I’m sorry.”

Ou Ming’s heart sank when he heard her apology. At the same time, he saw the irrepressible pain in her laughter. This laughter also revealed her disappointment.

Ou Ming’s heart skipped a beat, and he gave her a complicated look. “Not to me. Apologize to my mother.”

Please apologize. Otherwise, what will the future hold? Please apologize. Or my mother will hate you.

He would never marry anyone else; neither would he allow her to marry anyone else.

Jiao Ziqing had never been a generous person. Perhaps, if she was allowed to retain a little of her dignity now, there could still be a possibility of convincing her at a later time.

If the bridge were to be truly burned, what were they to do in the future?

But Yu Lili didn’t understand what his eyes were trying to convey at all. She had an inkling that Ou Ming was trying to tell her something, but she had been provoked beyond reason and couldn’t think further.

Yu Lili laughed. “I’m sorry. I don’t think that I said anything wrong. Furthermore…”

“Yu Lili!” Ou Ming cut her off with a shout. He placed both his hands on her shoulders, and his eyes pleaded with her. “Won’t you just apologize? It’s the New Year. Don’t make an elder be angry, okay?”

Yu Lili saw the sentiment in Ou Ming’s eyes very clearly, and her heart trembled.

What did he mean by this?

For the sake of his mother, what did he mean by giving her this expression?

Ou Ming’s back was towards Jiao Ziqing. From this angle, he was blocking Yu Lili’s line of sight.

Yu Lili heard Jiao Ziqing’s laughter ring out, followed by her voice of disdain. “Xiao Ou, you’re hoping she’ll apologize to me? If she were the sort of girl who was willing to apologize to me, she wouldn’t have said all those insolent words to begin with! It’s too late to take it back now!”

It’s too late to take it back now.

That was right. Wasn’t apologizing akin to taking her words back?

Furthermore, this Madam was deliberately out to offend. Even if she apologized, it was unlikely that Yu Lili would be forgiven. In fact, it was a lot more likely that she’d insult her even more.

That would just be like… Ou Ming. They were mother and son after all. Their characters and mouths were so alike.

Yu Lili chuckled and pushed Ou Ming’s hands away. She looked straight at Jiao Ziqing and said, “Just as Mr. Wen said, we are all of equal status. You mother may be older, but she isn’t an elder. I don’t think I said anything wrong at all.”

“That’s enough.” The middle-aged man spoke up, his voice a little hoa.r.s.e.

Wen Fenglin’s voice was gentle. He gave Yu Lili a glance and said, “Xiao Jiao, you’re the one who started this. But this young lady here, your temper got the better of you. Regardless of the circ.u.mstances, this is still your boyfriend’s mother after all.”

Of course, Yu Lili knew that this was her boyfriend’s mother! Wen Fenglin’s words felt unreasonable to her.

“Xiao Jiao, calm down a little. You aren’t a little kid either. Don’t cause a ruckus during the New Year. It’s my art exhibition today, and I’m grateful for your support. But if such displeasure were to result of this, if word gets out, it’ll affect my reputation!” As he spoke, there was a trace of laughter in his voice. His hooded eyes revealed a hint of sensuality, and the dimples in his cheeks made his smile contagious. However, although he was smiling, he displayed an indescribable sense of dignity, diplomacy, and power.

What a majestic aura that was!
