Tianlu Lake Manor.
Mother Bo was checking the guest list when her son suddenly received a phone call. A familiar voice came from the other end of the line, and before she could make sense of it, he hung up, sparking her curiosity, "Who was that?"
"Telemarketer."
"Oh."
Bo Tingshen...
The man’s fingertips gently caressed his phone, a flicker of indistinct sentiment crossing his eyes.
"In a few days, Xiao Li and your aunt will come to our place to stay for a while. Make sure you’re not too engrossed in your work. Spend some time at home with mom. I don’t want others to say I have a workaholic husband and a workaholic son, neither of whom ever come home. That would really be a failure on my part," she said.
"Understood."
"That’s right!" Mother Bo seemed to remember something and looked at him expectantly, "Have you thought about what I mentioned last time? When can you invite Ye Xian over? I’ve grown to like him more and more recently."
At her words, Tingshen’s demeanor suddenly grew somber. "I don’t have time."
"No time?" Mother Bo assumed that Ye Xian was the busy one. "Looks like his schedule is really packed. That makes sense, given his recent rise to fame. But he’s only eighteen; still so young. What if he overworks himself? Why don’t you give him some time off and let him come over? I’ll cook him something delicious."
The more she spoke, the colder Tingshen’s expression became, until he left without responding to her last remark.
Mother Bo: "Hey, you child..."
She tried to discuss it nicely with him, but it seemed to touch a nerve, given how upset he looked.
Ye Xian was livid, clutching his phone. Just as he turned around, he saw... Pang Kai?
Pang Kai, carrying a briefcase, was walking into the company when he looked up and saw her, equally bewildered.
The two faced each other as if they were enemies meeting on a narrow road.
