Chapter 1293: 1293

Yu Lili heaved a sigh of relief at Ou Ming’s confession . She shot a hard glare at him and whined, “You scared me to death!”

Ou Ming’s lip lifted, and his smile deepened . In actual fact, his prior statement had been the truth . But, he didn’t say anything further .

He turned to look at her and said, “My mom likes to practice yoga in the afternoons . Don’t you do yoga too? You should join her . ”

Ou Ming wants me to join his mom in yoga?

Yu Lili was a little uneasy with the idea “Is that OK? Your mom hates me so much . If I were to join her in the afternoon, will I be scolded to no end?”

That was what Yu Lili was most afraid of and most worried about .

“That’s impossible . ” Ou Ming gazed into Yu Lili’s eyes with a smile on his lips . In a lowered voice, he said, “Don’t overthink it . You’re just scaring yourself silly . If you speak to my mom properly, she won’t make things difficult for you . ”

“If that’s the case, when I see you mom later, how should I address her?” Yu Lili asked .

Does he really expect me to call Jiao Ziqing “Mom?”

Yu Lili’s thoughts put a frown on her face . The thought of possibly getting scolded by Ou Ming’s mother made her ill at ease . Hesitantly, she asked in a small voice, “Will your mom feel that I’m overstepping my boundaries? What if she scolds me?”

“That won’t happen . My mom is not as terrifying as you imagine her to be . ” Ou Ming was torn between laughing and crying . “Just how severe a case of PTSD did my mom trigger in you? Don’t be afraid . Just pretend my mom is me . Actually, there are times when my words can be a little harsh too, no?”

“It’s not just ‘a little . ’ It’s extremely harsh…” Yu Lili pouted her lips and complained .

Ou Ming was at a loss of how to reply . Instead, he pinched her cheeks and cajoled, “Go on . The yoga room was where I took you just now . Remember not to be too cautious or too affected . My mom is really just all bark and no bite . ”

He couldn’t resist planting a kiss on her mouth . He lowered his voice and said, “My mom is your mom too . In the future, you’ll have to learn to change how you address her . When you see dad later, you should address him as ‘Dad’ too . Got it?”

Yu Lili found it hard to accept all at once . Everything was progressing a little too quickly .

Seeing Ou Ming’s expression, she could only nod her head and reply, “Got it . What are you going to do now?”

“I’m going out with Dad for a moment,” Ou Ming said . “I won’t be home in the afternoon . You should take the chance to spend some time with Mom alone at home . If she makes things difficult for you, just give me a call . I’ll come home straight away . ”

Yu Lili’s heart settled somewhat . She nodded her head . “Alright . Go on, then . ”

“OK . You go first . ” Ou Ming nudged her gently .

Yu Lili was still feeling a little apprehensive . After looking back a couple of times, she headed off . When she reached the yoga room, Jiao Ziqing was inside practicing her yoga .

A radio was positioned in front . It was broadcasting a music and storytelling session . The voice of the female singer was soothing and melodious, and the rhythm of the story was moving .

Yu Lili stood by the entrance of the yoga room and knocked gently on the door . “May I come in?” she asked .

Jiao Ziqing was facing a huge mirror . A yoga room didn’t have much furniture, except for mirrors, which it possessed in abundance .

Jiao Ziqing had noticed her way before . When she saw the hesitation in Yu Lili’s expression, she feigned ignorance . After hearing her voice, she replied offhandedly, “Just come in if you’re already intending to . ”
