After dinner, Xi Xiaye offered to do the dishes, so Mu Yuchen went upstairs in a relaxed manner .

Upon finishing the dishes, she went upstairs and saw a vase that had suddenly appeared . It was full of the blue roses, and they were actually arranged pretty delicately .

She was surprised as she did not expect him to know about flower arrangement .

She stared at the flowers for quite a while before entering the bedroom, holding the big bag of things she had gotten back from her apartment in her hands .

Only a dim lamp on the dressing table was switched on . Within the dark bedroom, the light from the bathroom seemed very bright and the sound of water flowing was heard .

She gently closed the door and turned on the bedroom light . Walking towards the wardrobe with her luggage, she then opened it and started to put her things into the wardrobe .

When she had just hung her first piece of garment up, she heard a ringtone . Looking around, she saw the phone on the bedside table ringing .

She ignored it and continued arranging her stuff . About ten seconds after the ringtone stopped, the phone rang again . It seemed urgent .

After a brief moment of silence, she raised her head and glanced over at the bathroom . The sound of the water stopped and she spoke loudly, "Mu Yuchen, your phone keeps on ringing!"

A brief reply came . "You answer it . "

Xi Xiaye frowned . She got up and started walking towards it as she was fiddling around with the golden rose Mu Yuchen had won the last time . Without seeing who the caller was she picked up the call .

The calm and quiet voice of a lady came through as soon as the call was connected . "Hello? Chen, my flight's been delayed . I'll probably reach the airport by 8 . 30 a . m . tomorrow . Please come and pick me up . It's more convenient from your place to the airport since it's connected through the highway . "

Xi Xiaye could not react quickly . Instead, she replied quietly, "Hello..."

There was a short pause on the other hand when Xi Xiaye spoke . "Hello, are you Xi Xiaye?"

There was a tad bit more warmth in her voice .

"Mmm, I'm Xi Xiaye . And you are...?"

Xi Xiaye somewhat guessed who she was when the lady was able to address her name accurately . "I'm Zhuang Shurong, Chen's mother . His grandmother told me about you . Please tell Chen to pick me up at the airport at 8 . 30 a . m . tomorrow . Alright, it's pretty late now . Rest earlier and don't forget to tell him . "

The call ended before Xi Xiaye could even reply,

Xi Xiaye's heart sank a little and her eyes darkened as the phone screen dimmed . Her expression seemed odd . When she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening, she turned around .

"What's wrong? Who called?" Mu Yuchen was drying his wet hair as he walked towards the bedside . He glanced at his phone in her hand when he noticed her odd expression .

Xi Xiaye handed his phone back to him and looked at him with a troubled expression . With a hand on her forehead, she informed him, "Your mother called . She said her flight's been delayed and that she'll only arrive at 8 . 30 a . m . She asked you to go and pick her up from the airport . "

"I see . " Mu Yuchen put his phone on the bedside table then went and sat down before the dressing table .

"Hey... From your mother's tone, she sounded... Would she not like me?" Xi Xiaye was looking at Mu Yuchen helplessly . Zhuang Shurong's tone seemed especially cold just now and it freaked her out . She felt oddly nervous .
