Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Chapter 840 - 346 I Can!

Zhou Yuwen didn't let Su Qing's butterfly spread its wings when they were on the rooftop.

After all, with this cold weather, being on the rooftop meant taking off pants, leaving legs freezing red from the cold.

Zhou Yuwen waited until they got home to let Su Qing's butterfly spread its wings.

Now, Pan Min no longer opposed Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing being together. After all, a car and a house had been provided—unless Pan Min refused outright acceptance, how could she have the nerve to object anymore?

When Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing got home, Pan Min was tidying up the dining table.

Not to mention, at thirty-eight, Pan Min still exuded charm. Today, she wore a round-neck sweater like Su Qing, paired with black tights and white cotton socks.

She was busy at the dining table, wearing slippers.

A long period of single life gave Pan Min ample time to cultivate her interests, such as yoga and flower arranging. As a result, her appearance hadn't been worn down by age; her skin remained tight and smooth. The only mark time seemed to have left on her was a serene and detached aura that could only come with experience.

Her figure was curvaceous and full-bodied.

She stood there wearing an apron.

As soon as Zhou Yuwen came in, without hesitation, he said, "Aunt Pan, just leave the things here. Qingqing and I will tidy up. It's the New Year, take a good rest."

After speaking, Zhou Yuwen actively went to help.

Pan Min said it was no trouble, and they should just enjoy themselves.

"I'm just putting the dishes into the fridge. It's not a bother."

"Mom, didn't I tell you it's unhealthy to eat leftovers?" Su Qing frowned slightly at these words, determined to throw out the leftovers.

Pan Min, however, said there was still plenty of uneaten food, and throwing it away would be wasteful.

"You two enjoy yourselves."

"No, we have to throw it away," Su Qing insisted with a furrowed brow.

As the mother and daughter argued, Zhou Yuwen stepped in and said, "Better to listen to Aunt Pan. Let's store it for now; wasting so much really doesn't feel right."

Su Qing was instantly displeased upon hearing this.

Zhou Yuwen gave her an understanding look, signaling that there was no need to argue over something so trivial. His plan was to store it for now and discreetly throw it out when leaving, claiming he was taking it home to eat.

Though reluctant, Su Qing usually listened to Zhou Yuwen. In the end, she agreed to his approach.

It wasn't even midnight yet, so after helping Pan Min tidy up, everyone could sit together to watch the Spring Festival Gala and chat.

They could also discuss Zhou Yuwen's plans for the future.

Su Qing casually mentioned her belief that Zhou Yuwen could help change her mother's current life.

Zhou Yuwen was happy to oblige and asked Pan Min for her thoughts.

To be honest, when Su Qing brought up the topic earlier, Pan Min hadn't taken it seriously.

But when Zhou Yuwen personally asked if Aunt Pan wanted to work in Jinling...

"I…" Pan Min hesitated, her lipstick glossed lips curling upward slightly without her realizing it. She said, "This… I'm not sure how to respond right now. Let me think about it."

Zhou Yuwen nodded, saying, "There's no rush, Aunt Pan, but if you have any thoughts, feel free to share them with me. To me, you and Su Qing are both family. The money I earn is to make you both happy!"

At that moment, Pan Min finally understood why her daughter was so devoted to Zhou Yuwen—this young man truly knew how to speak.

Sometimes, even when you know the other person's words might not be entirely truthful, hearing them makes you genuinely happy.

And once she was happy, Pan Min wouldn't feel comfortable showing Zhou Yuwen any displeasure, no matter what he did with Su Qing in her house.

For example, the three of them watched TV together for a bit.

Su Qing placed her slender legs onto Zhou Yuwen's lap—clearly not sitting properly.

Pan Min, being a teacher, initially wanted to say something to Su Qing.

But after considering it, she decided to let it go—during the holidays, everyone's happiness mattered most.

Still, Su Qing and Zhou Yuwen's public displays of affection were undeniably distracting.

Though Pan Min was Su Qing's mother...

She was also a woman who hadn't felt the touch of romantic love for over a decade. Watching her daughter lean on Zhou Yuwen's shoulder while giggling and whispering sweet nothings...

Who could tolerate that?

Pan Min couldn't help but feel out of place.

Indeed, she was out of place.

No longer interested in watching TV, Pan Min thought of leaving some space for the young couple.

She feigned a stretch and said she was feeling sleepy.

She claimed that she was getting older and couldn't stay up late.

"I'm heading to my room first."

With that, Pan Min stood and departed.

Once Pan Min left, Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing restrained themselves at first. But noticing no movement from the bedroom, they assumed Pan Min was really asleep, so they cuddled and kissed for a while.

Honestly, Zhou Yuwen didn't plan to do anything with Su Qing that night.

After all, Su Qing's home was an old, shabby apartment with poor sound insulation.

Zhou Yuwen truly regarded Pan Min as his mother-in-law; he remembered the kindness she showed him in his past life. How could he possibly act frivolously in her presence?

But tonight, Su Qing wanted to take an initiative with Zhou Yuwen.

Because Su Qing hadn't expected Zhou Yuwen to come looking for her late at night, and that deeply moved her. From the moment they watched fireworks on the rooftop earlier, Su Qing had already been emotionally stirred.

Now, after a while of sweet kisses and intimate touches, her emotions became even stronger.
