Chapter 1295: 1295

The instant that thought popped up in Yu Lili’s head, denial told her that she was overthinking the situation . She put that hopeful thought aside . With a word of agreement, she followed Jiao Ziqing out .

Yu Lili didn’t dare walk too fast or too slowly . She kept pace just a step behind Jiao Ziqing, making it evident that she was still ill at ease . After she heard the question, she gave it some thought before answering . “At work, I guess . I’m usually at work for half the day . ”

“What about the weekends?” Jiao Ziqing asked .

“During the weekends, I’m usually at home drawing,” Yu Lili replied .

“Drawing?” Jiao Ziqing seemed surprised . It took a second before realization set in . “Oh, right! You draw comics, don’t you?”

“Yeah…” Yu Lili replied .

“How can you spend all your time at home? You can’t do yoga, and you don’t exercise on the weekends . How are you different from a piece of salted fish?” Jiao Ziqing remarked in disdain before walking off to change her clothes .

Yu Lili was a little embarrassed and tried to explain herself, “Actually, I do jog every morning . ”

“Oh,” Jiao Ziqing replied . She didn’t say another word .

Yu Lili felt awkward . She didn’t know how to fill the silence .

Jiao Ziqing walked into her room to change, but she cast a glance at Yu Lili before doing so and said, “Change your clothes . Let’s go out together . ”

Yu Lili was caught by surprise . Her heartbeat began to quicken .

Go out together? Alone with Jiao Ziqing?

“Why are you still dawdling? Are you going or not?” Jiao Ziqing asked with furrowed brows and a wave of her hand .

Yu Lili quickly nodded her head . “Right away . Give me a moment . ” Just as she turned to go to the room, she suddenly remembered something . “I didn’t bring a change of clothes . ”

Jiao Ziqing turned to look at Yu Lili oddly . “You didn’t enter the walk-in closet?”

This question made Yu Lili blink . She hurried to the closet . Her room was naturally Ou Ming’s room .

Indeed, she hadn’t stepped into the walk-in closet . She had only browsed through the wardrobe by the door and retrieved one of Ou Ming’s shirts to temporarily wear .

The walk-in closet was by the bathroom . The moment Yu Lili entered, she saw Ou Ming’s wardrobe . She opened it and saw an array of men’s suits hanging inside .

There was another compartment in the wardrobe . Yu Lili opened that too, only to see a whole collection of beautiful clothes hanging inside . There were many colors, but the majority were red . She looked through the clothing and realized they were all tailored to her measurements . There weren’t many pieces, but seven or eight wasn’t a small number either .

Had Ou Ming prepared this?

She had originally assumed that the pink dress she was wearing had been what Jiao Ziqing prepared for Shen Manting . On second thought, Shen Manting was a Northerner, and hence much taller than she was . Therefore, that possibility was unlikely . Just like that, the conflict in Yu Lili’s heart disappeared like a cloud of smoke .

She changed her clothes . Just as she opened the door, she saw Jiao Ziqing walk out .

Jiao Ziqing looked at the red skirt Yu Lili was wearing . In a tone that Yu Lili couldn’t tell if it was sarcastic or not, she remarked, “It doesn’t look too bad . ”

Yu Lili smoothed her hair awkwardly and looked down, not saying a word .

“Let’s go . ” Jiao Ziqing slung her handbag over her shoulder . With the bearing of a rich madam, she announced, “I made an appointment with a few of my good friends to have tea together . They heard that my son brought a woman back, and they are itching to meet you . Don’t you embarrass me . ”

Yu Lili’s heart skipped a beat . Jiao Ziqing is taking me to a gathering of her friends?
