Look, she knew that boy had no romantic intentions; otherwise, why would he kindly tutor the girl and even have her act as a shield to sabotage the blind date she had arranged?
He clearly had feelings for her.
However, this was not something she could discuss with outsiders, not even her close friends.
After all, it involved her son’s reputation.
Not only could she not talk about it, but she also had to help cover it up.
Mother Xu smiled at her close friends, "I know that girl. She’s his colleague’s sister. Previously, Ranran even tutored her; they are not what you think."
The close friend looked in the direction of the two, somewhat regretfully, "Is that so? That’s really too bad. The young girl is quite pretty and seems well-matched with your Ranran."
Isn’t that the truth?
Mother Xu also felt that the two children simply sitting together were a pleasing sight. Unfortunately, the girl was just too young.
If only she were a couple of years older.
Making that stinky boy wait a couple of years wouldn’t be impossible either.
Perhaps their gazes were too intense because Ning An vaguely sensed something and couldn’t help but look up.
She saw two unfamiliar aunts looking in her and Xu Weiran’s direction.
One of them seemed increasingly familiar.
Meanwhile, Mother Xu, realizing they had been spotted, quickly pulled her friend away.
"What’s wrong?" Xu Weiran, seeing her constantly looking toward the door, couldn’t help but speak up.
Ning An withdrew her gaze, "Nothing much, just saw an auntie who looked familiar; I think I’ve seen her around the school before." Right, that aunt’s figure and the way she walked were a lot like the aunt from the milk tea shop, the only difference was she wasn’t wearing sunglasses.
But it could also be her overthinking.
How could such a coincidence happen.
And just now, she was sure she didn’t know either of the aunts.
Xu Weiran followed her gaze and vaguely saw two familiar figures.
One of them, why did she look so much like his mom?
Xu Weiran withdrew his gaze and didn’t bring it up in front of Ning An.
After parting with Ning An, Xu Weiran went straight home.
And Mother Xu, having seen him with Ning An, lost her appetite and casually found an excuse to leave her friend and go home.
"Did you go to Jiu Middle School earlier?" Xu Weiran, upon entering, glanced at his mother’s clothes. Sure enough, the person he had seen outside the restaurant was his mother.
A flicker of guilt passed through Mother Xu’s eyes, but feeling she couldn’t lose her composure in front of her son, and considering she had just gone to look and hadn’t done anything, she lightly coughed and said, "Yes, I did, what about it?"
Xu Weiran, "It should be me asking you. You already know, she and I are not in that kind of relationship. But you, running purposely to her school, what were you thinking?"
"Mom was just curious. Don’t worry, I just took a quick look from a distance. I didn’t do anything." Mother Xu said.
"I know you didn’t do anything, but think about it. Suddenly, someone appears around you, secretly watching you. Wouldn’t you find it strange? Didn’t you ever think, what if you frightened that young girl?"
Of course, with that girl’s temperament, the likelihood of being scared was not high.
But that didn’t stop him from exaggerating the seriousness of the matter a bit, just to keep his mom from getting any impulsive ideas and doing something unreliable next time.
Mother Xu couldn’t help feeling somewhat guilty, especially hearing him talk like that; was she discovered by that young girl?
Alright, she indeed hadn’t thought this through.
