The two felt awkward for a while before Li Chen spoke first, "Are you still living at that apartment? Be careful living alone."
Xiao Rou instinctively wanted to explain she wasn't living alone now, but the words stopped at the tip of her tongue, and she nodded, "Mm, I know."
She wasn't intentionally lying; it's just that explaining would be cumbersome, and she didn't want to mention Zhou Qi to others too much.
The older generation's birthday celebration was simple, after dinner, they ate a symbolic slice of cake, chatted for a while, and then Xiao Rou's family left.
Mr. Xiao drove there, and on the way back, Xiao Rou sat in the back seat with Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao held Xiao Rou's hand and smiled, "Rourou, I noticed you and Ah Chen were chatting quite well? Ah Chen is a good kid, young and successful, the key is he's..."
"Mom."
