Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 303

Jiahe swallowed and slowly followed Mrs. Lu into the adjoining bedroom.

Mrs. Lu paced to and fro agitatedly as if she had a great deal to say to her wayward daughter but did not know where to even begin. She finally spun around and pointed at Jiahe. "Go stand in the corner there!"

Jiahe obediently scuttled to the corner like a shrinking violet. Hunching her shoulders as if in surrender, she stammered, "Mother…earlier…I…just now we weren't up to anything…we weren't doing that..."

The corner of Mrs. Lu's eye twitched. "Excuse me? Both of you were actually in the middle of that?"

Even Jiahe's ears were red with embarrassment as she faltered, "N…no, no, we weren't…"

"Lu Jiahe! How dare you? What have I always told you since you were a child?"

"G…girls should be proper and restrained; they should guard their virtue and not fool around."

"They shouldn't fool around. I see your memory's still working. Well then, what was that just now?"

Jiahe stole a glance at her mother's furious face. She felt slightly aggrieved. "I wasn't the one who wanted to kiss him! He…"

"You kissed him, he kissed you, what difference is there, Jiahe? You tell me right now, have you ever messed around with him? Don't you dare lie to me!"

Jiahe began nodding instinctively, then recalled herself and frantically shook her head. "No! I haven't! Mother, I haven't done anything..."

Mrs. Lu strode in front of Jiahe and said in her most forbidding manner, "Listen to me, Lu Jiahe. I'm not objecting to you having a boyfriend. But you need to remember that even though we're not some fabulously wealthy family, we still have morals and standards. I have no problems with you and Chi having a relationship, but don't take it one step further and sleep with him! That must not happen! Do you hear me?"

Jiahe wondered what her mother would do if she found out she and Xinghe had spent the night together before. Would she come after her with a hatchet…or would she go after Xinghe instead?"

"Yes, Mother. I understand."

Mrs. Lu took hold of Jiahe's ear. "Don't just say yes, you'd better mean it! Earlier you were messing around here, in our very own house! What were you and Chi doing? How did you end up on the bed? If you were somewhere else, who knows if you two…"
