Chapter 172: Chapter 172 Normal

"All indicators are normal." An Ying’s expression was light and carefree, as if this matter wasn’t worth her attention.

Hearing the other person’s response, An Yin finally felt at ease. She glanced at the table, her gaze landing on the only soup, "Then drink more soup." She said, reaching out to serve a bowl for the other person.

An Ying brushed her daughter’s hand aside, "I’ll do it myself."

Seeing An Ying’s firm attitude, An Yin gave in.

An Yin was focused on the delicious food and didn’t notice that An Ying’s eyes were constantly on her neck, where the jade she wore last night was now hanging at her collarbone.

An Yin wore a V-neck white sweater underneath, with a gray sports jacket over it, the jade on her neck was clearly visible.

After the meal, An Yin took the initiative to tidy up the dishes and wash them.

Seeing her daughter eagerly do chores, An Ying let her be.

Once the housework was done, An Ying took her daughter out.

As An Ying grabbed her wrist, An Yin squinted and asked, "Where are we going?" Although curious, An Yin didn’t slow her pace, closely following An Ying.

"Just follow me," An Ying smiled, "Am I going to sell you off?"

Hearing this, An Yin suddenly thought of Shi Qing’s situation, her face filled with gloom, "I have a roommate whose mom is already getting her to start dating."

Mentioning this incident, An Yin still felt some fear today, she was almost bullied by Shi Qing’s blind date, every time she thought about it, she felt a lingering fear, she didn’t dare tell An Ying!

"That’s a bit too early!" An Ying frowned, after all, it’s another family’s matter, An Ying didn’t comment, thinking that her daughter was about to turn twenty-one, and soon, if she met a boy she liked, she might walk into the halls of marriage, An Ying felt uneasy.

Her daughter had been her support all these years, once she spread her wings and flew away, far from her side, a sudden feeling of emptiness surged within!

"Her mom is a bit too desperate to get her married off." An Yin replied, then quickly reached out and held her hand back, solemnly declaring, "I don’t want to get married in the future, I want to stay with mom for life."

Her voice was soft and tender, making people feel extremely comfortable.

Hearing her daughter’s words, even though they were heartfelt, An Ying pretended to pat her arm lightly and gently scolded, "What kind of girl doesn’t get married? Mom still thinks about enjoying life freely after you get married, not wanting to stick with you, old maid!"

An Yin pouted, unhappiness written all over her face, "Hmph, I just want to cling to you."

An Ying’s clear water-like eyes filled with laughter to their depths, she also wanted to always be with her daughter, but she deeply knew the taste of such lonely single life, she didn’t want her daughter to follow in her footsteps.

An Ying let her daughter fool around, the two walked and laughed their way along, when they passed the bookstore An Ying owned, An Yin stopped wanting to take a look, but An Ying stopped her.

"Next time, we are in a hurry."

Since An Ying said that, An Yin didn’t think much of it, glancing at their bookstore sign, she felt something was off, when she looked away, turning her head to see her, "Mom, is the sign new?"

Hearing this, the smile on An Ying’s face froze for a moment, then with some perfunctory nonchalance, "Changed some old setups and signs a while back."

"Oh." An Yin nodded, "That must have cost quite a bit."

"Mom has some savings, don’t worry about money, just study well, and be safe and sound, mom will be very happy." An Ying spoke always calmly and gracefully, like a gentle stream, pleasing to the ear, giving one a sense of inner peace and joy.

"I’ll earn money to support mom when I graduate!" An Yin chimed in.

The two chatted all the way, crossed the road, and came to the opposite side, where tall buildings rose, among them some malls, though not as grand as the downtown shopping malls, they had the necessary daily essentials.

An Yin watched as An Ying led her straight to a down jacket store.

As soon as they walked in, a sales assistant inside saw An Ying and greeted her like an old acquaintance, "Ms. An, bringing your daughter with you?"

"Yes, she’s on holiday." An Ying smiled back at the sales assistant.

The next second, An Yin was pushed into a fitting room by An Ying, a sales assistant handed her a down jacket, "Try this first."

"Ah? Oh." An Yin was confused and was pushed to try on clothes.

Outside the door, An Yin overheard An Ying chatting with the sales assistant.

"Ms. An, your daughter really looks like you, as beautiful as a fairy." The sales assistant praised without reservation.

After hearing such remarks often, An Ying maintained her smile without being moved.

The sales assistant, with a welcoming demeanor, "Shall we try those two styles you picked last time?"

"Yes." An Ying nodded.

Previously, An Ying had told her daughter to buy a down jacket herself, but today, with the temperature dropping soon, and the absence of any traces of a down jacket, An Ying, feeling helpless, decided to handle it herself. She wandered around the nearby malls, eventually choosing this store, planning to come back with her daughter to buy, after all, clothes worn close to the body need to be tried on to see if they fit.

When they came out of the store, An Yin was carrying a bag with the new down jacket inside.

"Mom, I’m still a student, is it necessary to buy such expensive clothes?" An Yin looked at the bag in her hand, upset.

Such a piece of clothing, over three thousand, was a considerable expense for their not-so-well-off family, making An Yin feel like the clothing weighed a thousand pounds.

No matter how much An Yin resisted at checkout, An Ying remained firmly determined!

Actually, the mother and daughter’s tempers were practically cut from the same mold, once they get stubborn, not even ten cows could pull them back!

"I saw in the weather forecast a few days ago that this winter would be exceptionally cold, buying a good down jacket so you won’t be cold." An Ying turned to look at her daughter, her eyes filled with affection.

"Then why didn’t you choose one!" An Yin stopped walking, her bright eyes staring at her.

An Ying’s body stiffened, knowing her daughter was feeling for her, she reached out, tucking a strand of hair behind An Yin’s ear, "Last year’s one is still as good as new, why waste the money."

An Yin’s eyes reddened slightly, muttering, "Old is old."

"Mom will buy next time, don’t throw a tantrum, look, there are people coming and going, aren’t you embarrassed?" An Ying exaggerated on purpose, but it was early morning and the mall wasn’t crowded, with only the occasional pair strolling by.

"Hmph, treating me like I’m a three-year-old." An Yin pouted teasingly, adjusting her emotions, the tears welling in her eyes forced back.
