I was dumbfounded and got married to a rich man after school.

Not long after Bai Zihan was born, Bai Ruiting, the head of the Bai family, passed away due to illness. Therefore, Ye Qing raised his son alone and naturally had a very close relationship with his only son.

Why did the son who had been kissed and coaxed from childhood suddenly start to refuse this kind of intimate contact?

Regardless of the loss, Ye Qing quickly realized the change in his son's mentality - Could it be that his son had someone he liked?

Her son had been indifferent to relationships before. She knew that many girls in the school were thinking about her son, but her son had never planned to consider it before graduation.

Why did you suddenly change your attitude?

Could it be that... you really have a crush on that Shen Sa?

Thinking of this, Ye Qing couldn't help but feel nervous. She just wanted her son to find more ways to manipulate her, but she didn't let him take any serious action!

Realizing that his overreaction might arouse his mother's suspicion, Bai Zihan stood up quickly and said, "I'm hungry, Mom, go and cook."

Ye Qing was not going to let her son go just like this. She said half-jokingly and half-exploringly: "Why, now that my son has grown up, he still has a sweetheart? Why is he suddenly disgusted with being intimate with his mother?"

Bai Zihan panicked in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and said: "Of course it's because I'm older. I'm 18 years old. It's always like this. It's weird."

"Sorry, sorry, it's mom's fault. Mom still thinks you are the good son who hasn't grown up." Ye Qing pretended not to see through anything, touched his son's head and said, "Mom will go cook for you right now. ,What to eat?"

"I want to eat egg noodles."

"Eggs alone are not enough, my son is growing up." Ye Qing walked towards the door, "Mom will make egg lobster noodles for you, it will be ready soon."

Ye Qing has a resident aunt at home, but the aunt is usually only responsible for cleaning the room. Occasionally, she takes care of Bai Zihan's food and daily life when Ye Qing is on a business trip. At other times, Ye Qing usually does it by herself, fulfilling her duties as a mother and making it easier for her to spend time with her son. produce closer connections.

Seeing his mother busy in the kitchen non-stop as soon as she came back, Bai Zihan felt very uncomfortable. He knew that his mother worked so hard to better train him, and therefore, he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. This heavy maternal love made him He was moved and even more suffocated.

Can my feelings for Shen Sa... help my mother?

But in this case, Shen Sa would hate herself, right?

"Zihan, it's time for dinner!" Within half an hour, Ye Qing brought the lobster and egg noodles to the table. Bai Zihan responded, put away his chaotic thoughts, and sat down at the table as if nothing happened.

"Is it delicious?" Ye Qing looked at his son expectantly.

"Of course it's delicious." Bai Zihan nodded.

In fact, his mother is not good at cooking, but Zihan always says it is delicious, and he does not want to live up to his mother's expectations.

He lowered his head to eat the noodles silently. Ye Qing glanced at his phone and suddenly said: "By the way, son, your birthday is coming soon. How do you plan to spend it this year?"

Bai Zihan was startled. He didn't care much about birthdays. His mother went to great lengths to fulfill his birthday wishes every year, giving him expensive clothes and luxury cars, and taking him to travel around, but he really didn't need it. He just wanted to spend this time quietly.

"Do you want to invite friends to play at home this year?" Ye Qing asked.

"At home?" Bai Zihan frowned, "Don't you like having classmates come to our house to play?"

Bai Zihan has not been so dull since he was a child. When he was a child, he also liked to be with his friends, but every time his friends came to see him, his mother would refuse them entry. Over time, he gradually became unsociable and developed the habit of being as withdrawn as he is now. character.

"Because I just realized that my precious son has grown up and needs to socialize, and of course he needs to get close to his classmates!" Ye Qing said with a smile.

Bai Zihan silently picked up a piece of lobster meat and suddenly said, "You want me to invite Shen Sa to your house, right?"

"If you have a good relationship, it's okay to date her." Ye Qingqing admitted his intention.

Bai Zihan was silent, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart, but Ye Qing could see that after she proposed to make an appointment with Shen Sa, his son's expression was obviously hesitant.

What are you worried about?

Ye Qing had finished eating, and elegantly picked up a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth, and suddenly said: "It happens to be your 18th birthday. In addition to holding an unforgettable birthday party for you, my mother also wants to do some things. Told you."

"What's going on?" Bai Zihan asked suspiciously.

"Of course you can't talk about it now, silly son." Ye Qing smiled and quickly changed the subject, "Then, let's make a deal. Next weekend, we will have a party at our house, and I will ask the chef from our hotel to come to your door. As for the service, if you play too late, you can still sleep at home for one night."

Bai Zihan silently glanced at his mother. He felt that these words meant something.

"Okay." He nodded, finished the last bite of noodles, and was about to get up and clear away the dishes.

"No need to clean it up, just leave it here. Go and do your work, dear son, leave everything to mom!" Ye Qing hurriedly came up to dissuade her.

Bai Zihan sighed in his heart and silently put down the bowls and chopsticks again. He had become accustomed to not rejecting any of his mother's arrangements, otherwise his mother would feel aggrieved that he was disobedient.

Just like this, he has not done any housework so far, and has not even had the chance to feel the effort of a finger. He is also eager to take care of others, but now he is just a standard young master with good clothes and good food.

"How many friends can I invite?" he asked suddenly before going back to his room.

"Any number will do. Our family is so big, we can accommodate as many as we want."

"Okay." Bai Zihan agreed briefly and went back to his room.

Inviting a classmate to celebrate his birthday... This is really a difficult thing to do. He actually has quite few friends, Tianlin is one of them, but if Tianlin comes, he will have to invite Shi Yulan and Shen Sa.

Will Shen Sa come?

She was so independent-minded that Bai Zihan was not confident about inviting her, but secretly, he hoped that she could come to his birthday party.

He actually had no idea why his mother suddenly made this suggestion, but his intuition told him that this matter must be related to Shen Sa, and it could be regarded as part of his mother's scheme to plot against the Qi family.

A good birthday party is actually full of conspiracy theories. Bai Zihan is helpless but doesn't know how to resist. He is not even sure what his mother is going to do. If everything is just his own overthinking, if his mother really just wants to see Shen Sa...

Should she tell her mother that the person she thought was Shen Sa's guardian was actually her partner... or that the relationship was even more shady?

Will this affect her mother's view of Shen Sa's character? Will she suddenly not want to have further interactions with Shen Sa?

Wait, Bai Zihan, what are you thinking about? Why did you suddenly jump to the matter of dating? You obviously don't like Shen Sa yourself, right?You've just been paying too much attention to her lately!

Worried that he was getting deeper into trouble, Bai Zihan quickly turned to think about what secret his mother was hiding, and why he had to wait until he was 18 before telling him about it.

Is it the grudges between the Qi family and their family?

Or...there was actually another hidden reason behind his father's death that year?
