"Mom, are you paying?" He Qingyan asked.
"Funding my daughter to chase handsome guys is also one of a mom's duties," Mrs. Yan smiled.
"I also think he's really handsome, and mom..." He Qingyan's voice dropped to a whisper, "He's pretty impressive down there."
"...Really?" Mrs. Yan said.
"Just this morning, before leaving, I pressed him about how far things have gone with Su Qing. When he wouldn't tell, I grabbed that thing of his and threatened him. He wasn't scared at all, unphased, just straight up rejected me—that really frustrated me."
For a woman to go that far and still have a man keep his cool, it truly is a huge blow.
If not for Mrs. Yan's suggestion of 'ask thrice to clear the air,' He Qingyan would have taken the chance to find out Gu Ran had misused her photo, and he wasn't completely uninterested in her; otherwise, she might have struggled with her depressed feelings for quite some time.
