Lu Weixi opened the bedroom door and found her mother standing right outside, her eyes filled with a touch of suspicion. Lu Weixi feigned calmness, "Mom, what's up?"
"What were you hiding in there for? Are you keeping something from me?" Lu's mother asked, while trying to peer into the room.
"How could that be?" Lu Weixi quickly shut the door, then, with a smile, took her mother's hand and led her away from the bedroom towards the kitchen. "Didn't I tell you? I was still working on the project, just chatting a bit more with the other designers. Mom, what's for dinner?"
Unexpectedly, Lu's mother led her straight to the living room. "I want to have hot pot. I've washed all the veggies, we have everything."
