"Actually, it's nothing major!"

"It's just that tomorrow is my mom's birthday, and it so happens that I'm not too busy with work right now, so I'm planning to go home to celebrate with her."

Liang Xiaoqiao spoke slowly, her cute little brows tightly knit together, as if there was something troubling her.

"Ah, okay, that's important, then you can just go back by yourself."

Zhao Tienan heard this and still felt a bit confused, unable to understand why Liang Xiaoqiao suddenly asked for leave.

Could it be that...

"Nan, I don't want to go back alone."

"Because my mom has set up a blind date for me, and if I don't go, she'll definitely be really upset."

"So, I want to ask you to come with me and put on an act, let my mom know we're in a relationship now. This way, she won't force me to go on weird blind dates anymore."

Liang Xiaoqiao said timidly, her big watery eyes staring intently at Zhao Tienan, full of hope that was hard to refuse.

"Oh, I get it. You want to use me as a shield, so your mom won't meddle in your personal life anymore, right?"

"Sure, I agree!"

Zhao Tienan patted his chest, confidently making a promise.

He thought this was definitely a good thing, after all, he had always been thinking about how to bring Liang Xiaoqiao's mother down, but had never found a good opportunity.

But today was different!

Liang Xiaoqiao actually invited Zhao Tienan to her home as a guest, which allowed him to get close to the woman who had once wrecked his family.

This was undoubtedly a heaven-sent opportunity!

"Really?"

"Thank you, Nan, you're so good to me."

"However, I have to remind you, my mom is not an easy woman to fool. She has a sharp eye, and if you're not prepared, she might see through our act."

Liang Xiaoqiao was particularly happy now, actually taking Zhao Tienan's hand and shaking it happily.

"Alright, no problem."

"Just putting on a show in front of your mom, saying I'm your boyfriend so she stops matchmaking for you."

"This kind of thing is a piece of cake for me, so you can rest assured. I guarantee your mom won't find any flaws."

Zhao Tienan said confidently, though his mind suddenly recalled the enchanting seductress from the past.

He wondered if, after all these years, she was still so dazzlingly beautiful, captivating at first sight.

"Okay, I trust you, Nan."

"However, since we're going to celebrate my mom's birthday, we shouldn't go empty-handed. If you have the time, let's go to town together and buy some birthday gifts..."

Liang Xiaoqiao looked eagerly at Zhao Tienan, and it was this kind of innocent yet alluring gaze that made it impossible for men to resist, easily making them fall for her.

"Alright, celebrating a senior's birthday does require a gift to show my sincerity, especially since it's my first visit to your home. I'll definitely be polite."

"Just not today, because I have other important things to take care of, maybe tomorrow."

Zhao Tienan said softly, then brushed past Liang Xiaoqiao.
