Miss Tang turned her head and glanced at Su Weiyi, a knowing look flashed in her eyes: "Xiao Yi, are you in love?"

Having her secret revealed, it was inevitable to feel a bit embarrassed, Su Weiyi’s cheeks blushed, she lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"Our Xiao Yi has grown up, it’s time to fall in love. Love is a joyful thing, you don’t need to feel any burden. Our family doesn’t have that many rules, as long as you like it, that’s fine."

Su Weiyi bit her lip, gathered her courage and spoke: "Mom, as long as I like the person, does it matter who they are?"

"Of course."

Su Weiyi naturally wouldn’t mention Sheng Yanxiao’s name right now. Even if they were to go public with this matter, it would be a decision for the two of them to make together. She wasn’t going to bring it up now.

However, Miss Tang’s next words almost scared her into jumping straight out of bed.

"Even if you like a girl, we can accept it, so you don’t need to worry about it at all."

Su Weiyi’s eyes widened. Liking a girl?

Su Weiyi’s mouth twitched, do they have to be this open-minded?

In that moment, Su Weiyi suddenly had a feeling, if they could even accept a girl, perhaps they could accept her and Sheng Yanxiao too?

——

According to Si Nian, Sheng Yanxiao would be away for at most a month, but in a blink of an eye, two months had passed. The temperature in B City had dropped across the board, the year-end was approaching, and Sheng Yanxiao still hadn’t returned.

He didn’t come back during Christmas. Su Weiyi sent him a message wishing him a Merry Christmas, and he replied with just a calm message. He still hadn’t returned by New Year’s.

Now, with the year-end imminent, Su Weiyi’s heart, which had been quietly waiting, began to feel restless. Although she knew he should be back for the New Year, she couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.

At the same time, the collaboration with Sheng Yanxiao’s company was in its final stages. While Su Weiyi was busy with work being piled up, that sense of anxiety in her heart still didn’t fade away.

Si Xia was going back to S City to celebrate the New Year. After finishing up the work, she let everyone have a holiday, and when the sudden leisure hit, Su Weiyi’s feeling of anxiety became even worse.

She had always been calm and steady, this feeling of waiting with anxiety was truly a first for her.

And she couldn’t talk about it with outsiders.

Even though it was a holiday, Su Weiyi didn’t go back to Lake Bay Villa, she stayed in her little apartment instead. She didn’t know why, but she just wanted to wait for him there.

These days, to keep herself busy, Su Weiyi had gathered lots of little trinkets, filling her already well-decorated apartment to the brim. A small plant here, a giraffe there, she even bought some soft and comfy cushions to put on the sofa, changed the tablecloths and sofa cushions to new ones in European style.

She even painted some simple watercolors herself, framed them, and hung them on the wall to make a photo wall.

All these were just decorative touches, but they made the whole house feel instantly more alive.

Su Weiyi even went online to get a bunch of recipes, learning to tinker in the kitchen herself.

During her three years in the United Kingdom, she had learned to cook for herself but only simple dishes. Now, with nothing else to do, she might as well take her time to study.

Mrs. Zhang gave her a soup recipe, and Su Weiyi tried making it several times. At first, it was just drinkable, but over time, it gradually had a hint of Mrs. Zhang’s flavor.

This day, standing in front of the stove, she ladled out the soup she’d made, took a gentle sip, and it tasted fantastic, almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Su Weiyi sent Xie Xiaoran a message asking if she wanted to try some, she’d bring it over to her.
