The next day, Yu Lili awoke at 6 a.m. She had just changed into her gym clothes when she heard a knock on the door.
Jiao Ziqing was already in a casual and beautiful sportswear. She looked very healthy and sporty.
As Yu Lili saw Jiao Ziqing in this manner, she was inwardly relieved that early morning exercises were part of her routine. Otherwise, it would have made for an awkward interaction.
"Good morning, Mom," Yu Lili smiled naturally. Her greeting carried no hint of unease whatsoever.
Jiao Ziqing gave her a onceover and acknowledged it. She turned and said, "Hurry. You still need to come back and prepare breakfast. It's Nanny Zhang's off day today, so we're depending on you for all three meals."
Yu Lili's smile widened. There was not an ounce of resentment. In fact, happiness radiated from the bottom of her heart as she nodded her head. "OK!"
