Me After Meeting You

At the very least, Ian had enough shame to cover himself up with the quilt when he realized that Amber’s mother was in the room. He was even obedient enough to apologize to her. “Sorry, I didn’t expect you to be here.”

This time, he really wasn’t wearing anything. Luckily for Amber’s mother, all she saw was his naked backside, but just that was shocking enough already.

Amber’s mother glanced at him, summarily ignored him, took a deep breath, and glared at Amber. “Come out here right now!”

Amber looked at Ian, causing the latter to say in a particularly serious tone, “I really do have rashes on my body.”

When Amber and her mother stepped out to the corridor outside, her mother immediately started questioning her. Amber responded, “He has rashes on his body, so he took off his clothes to see how serious it was.”

Her mother stared at her in annoyance. “Do you think that I’m an idiot? Even if he has rashes, would he have to strip naked for you to look at him?”

Amber blinked innocently. “We had to conduct a thorough inspection.”

Her mother was so angry she began to yell incoherently. “Thorough … are the two of you thoroughly crazy?!”

Somehow, she had hit the nail on its head. Amber nodded seriously. “Actually, he is, so please don’t mind what he does too much. He’s somewhat abnormal in the head.”

Amber was truly speaking her true thoughts, even if her mother didn’t believe her. But her mother pointed at her head and said, “I think that your head’s also abnormal! Make him leave! Make him leave quickly!” As her mother said this, she clutched her chest whenever she thought about that scene just now, she felt like her eyes were really going to go blind from shock.

Amber also wanted Ian to leave as quickly as possible, but the key problem was … “Erm, he doesn’t have any clothes to wear. Brother’s clothes are too short for him.”

In their family, both her father and her brother were shorter than Ian, so naturally, they didn’t have any clothes that would fit him.

At this point, Amber’s mother was so angry that she was about to burst out into laughter. “So there’s nothing you can do, is there?”

She ran inside the living room angrily, preparing to roll up her sleeves and chase Ian out of the house herself, dolts could only be dealt with by force! But when she entered the room, she heard Ian making a call, “Send me a set of clothes. Yes, right now. I’ll send you the address.”

Once Ian finished making the call and saw that Ian’s mother had entered the room, he lowered his body and said, “I’m sorry. I might need to bother you for a little while more.”

He was quite handsome, so when he said these courteous words with his eyes lowered, it could almost make one forget all the unreasonable things that he had done.

Amber mother’s anger was immediately halved, and her voice softened. “It’s not that I want to chase you out, but … do you realize that your actions have been highly inappropriate?”

“Yes.”

The feeling he gave to others was still very cold, but now, it was a charming coldness, like a white lotus blooming on a snowy mountaintop.

Last time, Amber’s mother had been angry and shocked that she hadn’t looked at him that carefully. This time, however, when she looked closely, she noticed that the fellow actually looked quite handsome, no wonder her normally obedient daughter would secretly defy her for him.

She gradually relaxed and then asked, “How long have you been dating my daughter for?”

Ian raised his head and vigorously shook it. “Sorry, we’re not dating.”

At this moment, Amber quickly interjected, “Mom, I already told you this. He’s not my boyfriend.”

“Yes,” Ian added on, still in a cool tone, but with an additional tinge of grievance.

Amber’s mother twisted her head around to glare at her daughter, the meaning in her eyes particularly obvious, step to the side and stop talking nonsense! She turned back around and kept talking to Ian. “If you’re not my daughter’s boyfriend, then what’s your relationship with her?”

When she entered the house, she had definitely heard him say that the two of them had even been in bed together. That wasn’t a hallucination, was it? Definitely not!

Ian remained silent, like he was reluctant to say anything.

Amber, who had been forbidden from ‘speaking nonsense,’ couldn’t bear it any further. She stepped in and said, “Mom, we’re just friends. Regular friends.”

This time, Ian responded, glancing at Amber as he did so. “Oh.”

‘My goodness. Is he really trying to paint himself as a white lotus on a tall mountain and me as the evil boss of a crime syndicate?’NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Amber huffed in anger-she didn’t know that Ian was this skilled at acting. She glowered at him as she threatened, “Hey, Mr. Axton, can you speak properly?”

Her mother stared at her. “You’re the one who should speak properly! Go to the side. I didn’t ask you anything!”

Looking back at Ian, she then straightforwardly said, “Do you like my daughter?”

“I don’t dislike her.”

Without a doubt, he was speaking the truth he indeed did not dislike Amber. As for like, well, he really just ‘liked’ her. Unfortunately, her mother thought that Ian was trying to be tactful as there were some things that he didn’t dare to say. She sighed, and comfortingly said, “Don’t worry. I’ll have Amber make it up to you.”

Amber made an ‘orz’ expression on her face [TL: ‘orz’ looks like a person kneeling down with his head on the ground], and finally felt that this misunderstanding couldn’t be allowed to deepen any further.

Amber stretched out her hand and pulled her mother towards her. “Mom, come here. I’ll explain everything to you.”

But Ian reacted quickly and smiled coolly as he said, “Mrs. Lauder, actually, nothing much happened. We’re truly not in a relationship, and she owed me nothing. The first time we met, something happened that shouldn’t have, but that was my fault.”

Amber was about to explode. “What do you mean something happened that shouldn’t have?! Nothing happened, alright?”

Ian glanced at her casually, nodding. “Oh.”

Amber’s mouth was open, but she had no response to give. “….”
