Mingshen turned back and smiled. "I have Mom's blessings now too."
Jia's gaze darkened.
"Do I look thrilled to you?"
"You will eventually be~"
She squinted her eyes. "Spit out the truth already. What are you plotting?"
Mingshen did say that he wanted to be close to her but he wasn't so sure in telling her the exact reason for wanting to gain her trust. He thought it would be counterproductive and Jia would become too hypervigilant.
"I want to be close to you."
"Why?"
"So that you can call me anytime you need me!" He chirped joyfully.
"...And why would I need to call you?"
He thought back to last evening for a moment and said, "So that you can hug me like a teddy bear! I will give you free service even in the middle of the night!"
"Huh?" She blinked rapidly, completely baffled.
She stomped towards him and put her hands on her waist. Her eyes shot him a deadly glare. "Be serious, Mingshen!"
