"Young Master Jue, let's not tell your mother about us being together for now."
On the way back, Su Jiuyi heard Shi Aoju mention that his mother had returned to the country, and after thinking it over, she decided it would be best to keep this matter secret for the time being.
Firstly, because her current identity was rather awkward; a maid getting involved with her employer would certainly affect Shi Aoju's reputation if it got out.
Secondly, she was uncertain if his mother would accept her; appearing before his mother as Shi Aoju's girlfriend would be too abrupt.
Shi Aoju looked straight ahead at the road, asking coolly, "Why?"
"It's too sudden," Su Jiuyi said.
"Hmm."
Shi Aoju merely responded with a nonchalant 'hmm' and said nothing further.
Su Jiuyi turned her face to look at him, sunlight refracting through the car window onto his face. His already defined features appeared even more angular at that moment, lips thin, forming a frigid arc.
