Under the moonlight

Huang Meng took a comfortable nap as soon as she got home, and didn't wake up until after 3 p.m.

"Mmm~ That feels so good!" She stretched and picked up her phone. Several WeChat messages appeared on the screen. Could it be that the company needed to contact her?

She quickly opened the message, quickly browsed through it, and thankfully it was just some information Liang Yuanyuan had sent her for her to understand, nothing important. Then she received a message from Xu Ao inviting her to dinner that evening.

"See you at 7 p.m., Liangchen."

The WeChat message was extremely brief, but Huang Meng read it over and over again. The more she read it, the more she felt that she could almost see Xu Ao's cold eyes through those few words, and even the corners of his eyes on his nose seemed to be flashing with a cold light.

Huang Meng couldn't help but shudder, but then she thought about it again. She had never mentioned Zhao Meng to anyone, and she had no relationship with him. It was all just her own obsession. Why was he angry? Could it be that he was upset that she hadn't greeted him? That shouldn't be the case. He was so meticulous and serious about his work. Was it wrong for her to be serious about her work?

Huang Meng collapsed onto the bed in anguish, clutching her head. She had a feeling she was going to have a terrible dinner tonight!

"Sigh, never mind, I won't think about it anymore." Huang Meng shook her head, got up to take a shower, and changed into a new outfit. After dawdling for a while, she finally finished curling her hair by the time Huang Guodong and Xiao Yun entered the house.

"Oh, the two elders are back~" Huang Meng said with a smile as she poked her head out of the bathroom.

"What, you're off work so early?" Huang Guodong looked at his daughter with a smile, but he didn't forget to ask about her work.

"Is that job of yours reliable? Although Li Shuo went to see it with you, that kid is young, so don't let him get scammed too!"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just finished work this morning. The company does business with foreign countries, and I'm their translator, which is a great help to them. I came back as soon as I finished and I don't do any other work."

"Then how do you calculate your attendance? And how do you calculate your benefits? What if you need translations on weekends? In the end, it's still not as stable as working every day with weekends off. You can do this for now, and Dad will keep an eye on things. We'll look for something better while we're at it, so we can do both without any problems!" Huang Guodong stood at the bathroom door, rolling up his sleeves to prepare a meal, while talking to Huang Meng.

"Oh dear, just let the child go out and explore on her own. Why worry so much? Come here, put this on." Xiao Yun, who had already changed into her pajamas, said with dissatisfaction upon hearing Huang Guodong's words, while handing him the apron.

"Oh dear, you two don't need to worry about me. Oh, by the way, I have plans tonight, so I won't be having dinner at home!" Huang Meng looked at her big, wavy hair in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. She had never done her own hair before, but her first attempt turned out pretty good!

"Who did you meet up with? Li Shuo? If it's that kid, why not just invite him to eat at home? Why spend the money? Can food outside ever be as good as home cooking?"

"Hey, can you stop worrying about me? I'm hungry, hurry up and cook." Xiao Yun watched Huang Meng admiring herself in the mirror, then quickly went to the kitchen and winked at Huang Guodong.

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll do it right away." Huang Guodong glanced quietly at Huang Meng, who was wearing a coat in the living room, and then looked at Xiao Yun with a silent grin.

Huang Meng was so focused on putting on her coat that she didn't notice her parents' little actions in the kitchen. She slung her backpack over her shoulder, glanced at her phone, and realized it was almost six o'clock. It would take nearly forty minutes to get there by taxi from home.

"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything." Huang Meng quickly changed her shoes and went out.

As the door closed, Huang Guodong finally asked the question that had been on his mind: "What, is this girl dating someone?"

"I'm not sure either, but this girl isn't usually one to dress up. Look at her just now, curling her hair and putting on makeup. My intuition tells me it's very likely," Xiao Yun said with a smile.

"Hmm, let's ask her when she gets back," Huang Guodong said, frowning.

"Hey, what are you doing? They might just be meeting up for a meal. Just ask, they'll tell you when the time comes. Don't worry about it!" Xiao Yun tapped Huang Guodong's forehead and walked out, annoyed.

Huang Guodong was busy with his work, but he didn't seem to take Xiao Yun's words to heart. After all, she was a flower he had nurtured since she was a child. Even if she were to be handed over to someone else, it had to be a gardener who was at least as good as him. Otherwise, he would not agree.
