Mao Nana lowered her head and did not know what Qu Xiujie was thinking about. The two of them did not say anything in front of each other and only looked up at one another occasionally. The moment their eyes met, they would quickly look away.
It was as if they were afraid of seeing each other.
“Yes, I spent a year in America before coming back.”
Mao Nana did not understand that in Qu Xiujie’s heart, Pei Ge saying that she stayed in America was like a bomb that exploded in his heart. The owner of this flower did not seem to care.
Qu Xiujie was upset but he did not know how to tell her.
“Were you studying in America?”
Qu Xiujie continued asking but his eyes were fixated on her as though he wanted to find the answer to all the questions he wanted to know from her. However, she quickly changed the topic regarding her time in America.
She seemed to be hiding something on purpose.
Perhaps it was the painful memories, or the past that she never wanted to touch again.
“Mhm. I met Pei Ge afterwards, and I came back a year later. Sigh… Let’s not talk about me. Why are you here?”
Mao Nana was surprised to see Pei Ge standing beside her. There were only Zhang Manhua and her two women in this house, but she had forgotten that Zhang Manhua had a daughter, and that daughter was Pei Ge.
“You… You’re Sister Manhua’s daughter?”
Mao Nana’s guess was confirmed by Pei Ge and the two men present. Her mouth fell open. “No way? Uncle is your maternal uncle?”
“Yeah.”
Pei Ge nodded and was not surprised by Mao Nana’s surprise. Of all the people present, only Mao Nana was surprised. Everyone else looked at her with a ‘this is how it should be’ expression.
“So, in R City, the person my uncle saved is you? Are you the little sidekick my uncle mentioned?”
Pei Ge asked with a frown, “So, my uncle and mom didn’t tell you that I’m her daughter?”
“I know that Sister Manhua has a daughter, but they didn’t tell me that it’s you. If they knew that it’s you, I wouldn’t have to run to the capital to find Uncle.”
Mao Nana was surprised, yet she felt a sense of familiarity toward Pei Ge.
“So you’re here with my uncle. We actually have such a deep affinity. I didn’t know that I could meet you again in the capital. If I didn’t come to this house today, when would I meet you again?”
Pei Ge walked forward and held her hand. “You’re called Mao Nana, right? I don’t remember wrongly.”
“That’s right. You didn’t remember wrongly, and I’ve always remembered you. I even know Ji Ziming. Looks like you two are truly together.”
Mao Nana chuckled and looked at Ji Ziming, who was standing in front of her. Indeed, he was as handsome as he looked on the cover of a magazine. Even his every frown and action was intimidating. He was actually even more handsome in person than in the magazines, especially his deep eyes. No matter how she looked at them, she could only see Pei Ge’s shadow in them. No matter how hard Mao Nana tried to find out what was hidden in Ji Ziming’s eyes, she could not find it.
It was like an undetectable piece of jewelry, and the most beautiful piece was hidden in it.
“Hello, Miss Mao.”
Ji Ziming was very polite. Since she was Pei Ge’s friend, she was naturally his friend as well. Since they had only known each other for five years after Pei Ge left him, this Mao Nana must know something that he did not.
When it came to loving someone, one had to understand her good and bad. The clearer the better.
“Hello, CEO Ji.”
Mao Nana held Pei Ge’s hand and smiled at Ji Ziming. Instead, she gave the cold shoulder to Qu Xiujie who was standing at the side. He stood at the same spot awkwardly and said softly, “You guys can meet when you’re done. Follow me upstairs when you’re done.”
“What for?”
Mao Nana did not understand what Qu Xiujie and Pei Ge wanted to do and only held Pei Ge’s hand tightly as she said, “Ge Ge, don’t go with him. Lunch will be ready soon. I cooked today too, so you have to try it later.”
Pei Ge was pleasantly surprised. Back when she met Mao Nana in America, she did not know how to cook. She was just a girl who knew how to make simple instant noodles. Now, under her mother’s guidance, she could actually make such delicious food.
“Since you’re so amazing, I’ll definitely have a taste of it. I’ll definitely eat whatever you make.”
She glanced at him and said, “Ziming, follow uncle upstairs. I’ll help out in the kitchen and call you guys for dinner later.”
“Okay.”
Ji Ziming looked at Pei Ge and Qu Xiujie. “Ge Ge, uncle and I will go upstairs now. Be careful not to burn yourself.”
“I understand. Don’t worry.”
She smiled and looked at him. “Ziming, I’m not a child, so don’t worry.”
When Ji Ziming and Qu Xiujie went upstairs, Mao Nana said enviously, “Ge Ge, I’m so envious of you for having such a good husband. You only went to the kitchen to help, yet he’s already so worried.”
It would be a lie to say that she was not envious. After coming to the house for so many days, Qu Xiujie either disliked Mao Nana or reprimanded her. He did not even show her any simple concern, let alone help her with her housework. The two seemed to have endless things to talk about and endless matters to quarrel over.
As he asked Mao Nana to leave the house, he was worried that she could not lead a better life outside. After all, in Qu Xiujie’s eyes, Mao Nana was a stupid girl who was so stupid that she did not even realize that she was being targeted by a thief.
But so what? Mao Nana had never cared about what Qu Xiujie thought of her.
She only cared about staying in this house and whether she could continue living with Qu Xiujie. She cared about whether Zhang Manhua would find her staying here a hindrance and whether Qu Xiujie really did not want to see her.
However, she realized that in Qu Xiujie’s eyes and heart, her position was becoming more important. It was this change that allowed Mao Nana to persevere until now.
