Seeing her mother's worried expression, Jing Sitian asked puzzled, "Mom, why do you say that?"
Mother Jing hesitated but eventually admitted, fearing that her angry words to Lin Lei's Mom might cause trouble for Jing Sitian and Baili Mu, "I got angry with Lin Lei's Mom and spoke without thinking, saying you had a new boyfriend, and he was far above Lin Lei's level. Then Lin Lei's Mom loudly quarreled, and now everyone in the neighborhood knows."
Mother Jing was at a loss with worry, "I regret terribly now. You and Prince Mu just started your relationship and I'm afraid this will cause trouble for you two. I'm even more afraid my actions will ruin your new romance just as it's beginning."
Jing Sitian hadn't planned on revealing Baili Mu, especially since he had unexpectedly confessed to her today and they had just established their relationship. She herself wasn't mentally prepared and had little confidence that this relationship would go very far.
