You rejected my confession, so I proposed to the mature and sophisticated professor.

Chapter 76 Hush, I loved!

"Young lady, I still don't know how to address you?" Jiang Ma put down the porridge and, this time, didn't rush to leave. Instead, she sat down in the chair next to Shen Youqing and asked.

Shen Youqing said politely, "Auntie, my name is Shen Youqing."

"Okay, then I'll call you Xiao Shen. You guys enjoy your meal. Auntie has to get back to work soon."

Jiang's mother tactfully gave a heads-up, indicating that she would be leaving soon so as not to burden the young people.

Then, quite naturally, he reached out and picked up Shen Youqing's bowl, and poured her some porridge.

Shen Youqing wanted to say something, but seeing how natural Jiang Ma was and how she didn't say anything polite, she simply kept quiet. After the porridge was ready, she said softly, "Thank you, Auntie."

Jiang's mother then raised her head and looked at Jiang Cheng, "If you want to eat, get it yourself."

That's how parents are; they always have their own ways of preventing outsiders from feeling awkward.

Jiang Cheng had already eaten and wasn't hungry, but he still pouted and picked up a bowl to get some porridge.

Before Jiang's mother could say anything more, someone at the next table called for the owner. Jiang's mother stood up and said, "Xiao Shen, please enjoy your meal. Auntie will go and get back to work."

After saying that, Jiang's mother left.

Shen Youqing glanced at Jiang Cheng with a sly smile.

Jiang Cheng was rebuffed and remained silent.

A taxi stopped by the roadside, and Li Minghao got out of the car.

Seeing Jiang Cheng and Shen Youqing... they were indeed here.

Li Minghao walked over and sat down in a seat next to Jiang Cheng, one stool away. Without saying a word, he picked up his bowl and started tearing open the food.

Jiangcheng: ......

Well... they've followed.

Shen Youqing glanced around and sensed that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Why did Li Minghao's usually carefree personality suddenly seem off?

And he just came over and sat down without saying a word.

Shen Youqing asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Li Minghao didn't even look up, tearing open the dishwashing cloth, and said, "It's nothing, just a little bit of weathering."

Shen Youqing:...

He looked at Jiang Cheng with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Cheng said, "Never mind him, your uncle is here."

Shen Youqing pursed her lips, sensing that something was definitely wrong.

Just then, Jiang's mother returned after finishing her work.

She walked over to her son and asked, "By the way, your aunt said she saw you on TV, what happened?"

Jiang's mother remembered that when Jiang Cheng's aunt called him, she was very excited and said that she saw a beautiful woman next to Jiang Cheng, a woman even more beautiful than those in calendars.

Jiang's mother remained calm, having met the woman in person.

Absolutely! She's even prettier than a big star.

She was still curious about her son appearing on television and wanted to know if something had gone wrong, but she didn't know.

Jiang Cheng said, "Oh, I set up a stall at Yonghui Mall, and the TV crew happened to be there and filmed me."

Jiang Cheng had been thinking about how to gradually let his parents know that he was making money.

This is an opportunity; I can say a few words.

That's all right... After all, he's making money too fast, which is hard for parents to accept these days.

Jiang's mother raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "Didn't you say that after you got your driver's license, you were going to hang out with that kid Li Minghao at internet cafes? Instead of learning bad habits from that bad boy, you're setting up a street stall."

Li Minghao: .....

“Auntie, I’m here…” Li Minghao said softly and aggrievedly as he sat down next to her.

Jiang's mother turned her head and looked at Li Minghao with surprise.

She even reached out and patted Li Minghao's head, saying, "You're much better behaved now."

She hadn't really noticed Li Minghao, which was a bit awkward, but kids are easy to fool.

Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Cheng again and asked, "Why did you go to set up a stall?"

Jiang Cheng nodded to Shen Youqing beside him and said, "Yonghui Mall belongs to her family. She said she could give me a stall, so I went to set up a stall. The location is good, the business is good, and I can make money."

Jiang's mother looked at Shen Youqing in surprise. Was Yonghui Mall hers?

That's a nationwide chain, right?

Then look at Shen Youqing's demeanor, and then look at your own son.

Wow, no wonder I haven't seen her around for days. She came back with her older sister.

Is this a good meal?

"Auntie, the stalls in Jiangcheng are doing very well."

When Shen Youqing saw Jiang Cheng's mother looking at her, she offered an explanation.

Jiang Cheng said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I can earn back my tuition and living expenses myself, and even earn a lot more."

Seeing that Shen Youqing was involved, Jiang's mother didn't want to get too involved in her son's love life, so she didn't ask any more questions and just nodded and said, "Okay, setting up a stall is good, it can help him get some experience."

Jiang's mother knew all too well that her son would not have a good ending if his mother interfered in his daughter-in-law's relationship.

So, although she had doubts about this issue, Jiang's mother chose not to ask anything.

Jiang Cheng said, "Mom, do you have time tomorrow? Come with me to get the license for the internet cafe. We can make money from it."

Jiang's mother frowned, "How can you make money selling this stuff?"

She always felt it was strange for her son to say the word "making money"; he should be focusing on his studies.

Jiang Cheng said, "A classmate's father helped us set this up so we could make money, because his son is also running a stall with me."

"Alright," Jiang's mother said.

It's just another street stall, so I won't ask anymore.

Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally gotten his mother to accept the fact that he was making money by setting up a stall. It wouldn't be so abrupt if he took out his own money later, right?

And with Shen Youqing, the daughter of Yonghui boss, taking the blame for him, it's even less surprising, right?

……

After finishing his meal at the store, it was almost midnight. Li Minghao was exhausted after a long day, so he didn't ask Jiang Cheng and the others to take him home. Instead, he took a taxi home himself.

Jiang Cheng was with Shen Youqing.

"I'll take you home first."

Sitting in the car, Shen Youqing said.

Jiang Cheng said, "Let's go to your place instead."

Shen Youqing pursed her lips and remained silent... Her words were easily misunderstood.

But Shen Youqing chose to hold back, determined not to misunderstand, having already learned her lesson from Jiang Cheng!

Several seconds passed before Shen Youqing finally said, "I was driving..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Cheng said, "I'll take you back, then I'll take a taxi."

"All right...."

Shen Youqing thought that even if it was nighttime, a boy wouldn't get lost if he took a taxi home by himself.

I can't just be dragged away by some young woman on the street, can I?

Will not.

So they drove to their apartment first, parked in the parking lot, and then walked together toward the apartment entrance.

The clattering of high heels was unusually crisp in the dead of night, and no one spoke.

We arrived at the open space in front of the apartment.

Shen Youqing stopped and said, "Then take care of yourself. I'm going up now."

“Okay, go ahead,” Jiang Cheng said.

Shen Youqing walked into the apartment.

A sudden tension gripped my heart, wondering if Jiang Cheng would do something again, just like last time.

She walked step by step until she was almost inside the apartment building, and Jiang Cheng didn't do anything.

Shen Youqing stopped and turned around. "Little brother, can I ask you a question?"

Jiang Cheng: "Shh, we loved."
