Chapter 227: Chapter 228: Selfie (3)_1
“Nanny Zhang, there is no need for so much fuss.” Liang Chen changes his shoes, looks around the living room, finds no one, then asks, “Where’s grandpa?”
“The old gentleman hasn’t been feeling well these past few days, so he’s been going to sleep early.”
Liang Chen then asks, “What about my mom?”
“It’s already past midnight. Mada Liang has been resting, but I did send Zhen to wake her up.”
Liang Chen nods and walks toward the stairs. He hadn’t even started to ascend when he spotted his mother descending from the second floor, dressed in pure silk pajamas with a look of weary relaxation.
Liang Chen stands there, grinning as he watches his mother enter. He finally speaks up, “Mada Liang, you’re still awake at this late hour?”
“Chen, it’s nearly one in the morning. You’re the one disrupting people’s dreams by coming over out of nowhere at this hour, and you have the nerve to ask if I’m still awake?” Mada Liang feigns irritation, shoots a glance at Liang Chen, and then tells the old nanny standing aside, “Get
a glass of water.”
Liang Chen steps forward, drapes his arm around Mada Liang’s shoulders, guides her to the couch and helps her to sit down. “Haven’t been around for a few days and Mada has turned young again.”
Upon hearing her son’s complints, Mada Liang can’t help but chuckle. Receiving the water from the nanny, she has a sip, then asks, “Alright, cut out the suck-up sweet talk. Co on, have you caused another trouble outside and need
to plead your case to your father?”
“Mom, listen to you, you make
sound like a constant troublemaker!” Liang Chen removes his arm from Mada Liang’s shoulder and says, “I ca to you today for a small thing. I need to ask for sothing.”
“What is it?”
“The ointnt you use for bruises.”
“Chen, did you get hurt sowhere?” Upon hearing this, Mada Liang instantly set down her water glass. She looks Liang Chen up and down, anxiously saying while doing so, “Why are your clothes all wet? It’s the dead of winter. You’ll catch a cold. Nanny Zhang, quickly, get Chen upstairs to change into so clean clothes.”
“Mom, I’m fine. Please don’t worry. I need the ointnt for a friend.”
Mada Liang’s eyes lit up at this, “Chen, did you get a girlfriend?”
Mada Liang had been hoping for her son to have a girlfriend for a good five years. In other families, people exhaust themselves worrying over their son’s philandering, but she’s now absolutely wishing her son had so juicy gossip to spread.
Liang Chen knew his mother’s thoughts all too well. Were he to admit to it today, beautiful Haohao would probably be subjected to the inquisitive eyes of every mber of the Liang family by tomorrow.
As that woman is a bit shy… After giving it so thought, Liang Chen decided to say, “No, Mom, you’re overthinking. One of my male friends got into a situation.”
Mada Liang nearly spit out the water she had in her mouth, shooting Liang Chen a piercing glance.
It wasn’t that Mada Liang had an overactive imagination, but her son was on the brink of turning 26, and he had not even held a girl’s hand yet, let alone experienced a kiss or a night together.
If it had been a girl, anybody would have raised an eyebrow at her advanced age, let alone a man at the sa age.
After what Liang Chen just stated, Mada Liang was suddenly anxious. Her mind filled with fear, she imdiately thought of her friend’s son who had started dating an Arican man. Could her own son be the sa way?
