Pippi pouted, "No."

"You are a man, and He Sheng is also a man. How can I guess what you think?"

Zhou Muqing explained, "That's because He Sheng also knows that she is a good girl and knows that we can't be together, so letting her go is the least harm to her."

Pippi seemed to understand a little bit of this statement, but not all of it.

"Don't mention it, I'm sleepy, let's talk about it in the afternoon."

After Pippi finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep within a few minutes while lying in Zhou Muqing's arms.

Zhou Muqing gently touched Pippi's cheek, it was so smooth that he couldn't put it down.

While enjoying their time together, Pippi's cell phone rang.

Zhou Muqing was afraid of disturbing Pippi's rest, so he hung up the phone without seeing the caller.

It was only when Pippi woke up after lunch break that she realized that the caller was her mother. She knew Zhou Muqing's kindness, and she didn't blame him, so she called back as soon as possible.

"Mom, I didn't mean to come out to play, what are you calling me for?"

Pippi's mother said with a serious tone, "When are you coming back?"

Hearing this was wrong, Pippi hurriedly asked, "Is something wrong, why do you feel that you are in a hurry to ask me to go back?"

"Oh, no, no."

Pippi's mother paused for a few seconds, and then asked her about Zhou Muqing.

"Mom wants to contact Zhou Muqing recently, but I can't get in touch no matter what."

"Oh, his mobile phone is broken, and no one has prepared a new one yet."

Pippi's mother hesitated when she spoke, "Mom, what are you looking for with Zhou Muqing? He's right beside me. I'll give him the phone."

"Okay, Mom, tell him a few words."

"Mom actually just wants to hear him talk about the situation of the two of you, nothing else."

Pippi didn't ask her mother what she wanted to tell Zhou Muqing, but she explained it in advance, which was not like what Pippi's mother would do.

It is natural for a mother to care about her daughter's affairs, and there is no need to greet her daughter in advance.

"Mom, don't say a few words, we are still playing in the afternoon."

Before handing Zhou Muqing the phone, Pippi rushed to say a word, afraid that her mother would ask too many questions and waste time.

Zhou Muqing answered the phone and spoke politely.

"Auntie, I'm the one answering the phone now, what can you do for me?"

Pippi's mother lowered her voice, "Auntie needs your help here, but I don't want Pippi to know, okay?"

Zhou Muqing unconsciously looked in Pippi's direction. She was arranging her hair at this moment, and she didn't pay attention to him.

"Okay, tell me."

Pippi's mother hurriedly said a few words, Zhou Muqing was actually very embarrassed about this matter, but he still agreed.

"Auntie, I will notify the secretary to contact you later and handle this matter for you."

He lowered his voice when he answered, so that Pippi could not hear him.

Pippi's mother said gratefully, "Thank you, please don't let Pippi know about this, have fun and take good care of her."

"do not worry."

After Zhou Muqing finished speaking, Pippi's mother hung up the phone.

...

Pippi caught a glimpse of Zhou Muqing hanging up the phone in front of the mirror, and immediately rushed over and hugged his waist.

"My mother asked you something, did she ask you about me?"

Zhou Muqing played sloppy on purpose, and followed Pippi's words.

"Yes, your mother asked if you were obedient, if you were good, and if you played around."

Pippi leaned her head against Zhou Muqing's chin, "Then tell me how you answered."
