1293 My Mom Is Your Mom (1/2)

Yu Lili heaved a sigh of relief at Ou Ming's confession. She shot a hard glare at him and whined, ”You scared me to death!”

Ou Ming's lip lifted, and his smile deepened. In actual fact, his prior statement had been the truth. But, he didn't say anything further.

He turned to look at her and said, ”My mom likes to practice yoga in the afternoons. Don't you do yoga too? You should join her.”

Ou Ming wants me to join his mom in yoga?

Yu Lili was a little uneasy with the idea ”Is that OK? Your mom hates me so much. If I were to join her in the afternoon, will I be scolded to no end?”

That was what Yu Lili was most afraid of and most worried about.

”That's impossible.” Ou Ming gazed into Yu Lili's eyes with a smile on his lips. In a lowered voice, he said, ”Don't overthink it. You're just scaring yourself silly. If you speak to my mom properly, she won't make things difficult for you.”

”If that's the case, when I see you mom later, how should I address her?” Yu Lili asked.

Does he really expect me to call Jiao Ziqing ”Mom?”

Yu Lili's thoughts put a frown on her face. The thought of possibly getting scolded by Ou Ming's mother made her ill at ease. Hesitantly, she asked in a small voice, ”Will your mom feel that I'm overstepping my boundaries? What if she scolds me?”

”That won't happen. My mom is not as terrifying as you imagine her to be.” Ou Ming was torn between laughing and crying. ”Just how severe a case of PTSD did my mom trigger in you? Don't be afraid. Just pretend my mom is me. Actually, there are times when my words can be a little harsh too, no?”

”It's not just 'a little.' It's extremely harsh…” Yu Lili pouted her lips and complained.

Ou Ming was at a loss of how to reply. Instead, he pinched her cheeks and cajoled, ”Go on. The yoga room was where I took you just now. Remember not to be too cautious or too affected. My mom is really just all bark and no bite.”
