Disclaimer: I decided to do a rough trans to share with you guys. I am working on this alone so it may not be 100% and there may be a better version out there. Nevertheless, enjoy!

The moment Shou-ma exited the station, she saw her good son being hugged by a tall and handsome man, standing out prominently in the crowd.

The man had a warm smile as he took initiative to carry her luggage and even called her politely, “Ma.”

Shou-ma had never had anyone else call her ‘ma' before so she wasn't used to it as she politely said, “Ai, ai, Xiao Yang h.e.l.lo ah.”

The moment Shou heard this, he felt panicked. Yang was the surname of the cannon fodder. He had mentioned it to Shou-ma before, but he did not expect her to have remembered it.

Shou was at a loss on what to do as he glanced at Gong. But Gong was calm, keeping in mind the rule of being loving, “Yang was my previous surname. But I went to a fortune teller and he said that Yang and Cheng were not compatible. So, I changed my surname to Fu. Ma can just call me Fu from now on.”

Shou, “…..”

(T/N: I died laughing at this but Gong is sooo sweet.)

Shou-ma was not very convinced. On the way back to Gong's house, she was sceptical.

On the way to the station, Shou had said he would bring his mom back to his own apartment. But Gong did not agree to it. He said that by doing so, they were not appearing as a loving couple. Shou had no choice but to agree.

Gong helped Shou-ma to tidy up the guestroom. Shou-ma quietly pulled Shou aside to a corner to question. “Who does the housework?”

Shou honestly answered, “It's him.” Because it was his house.

“Then who is in charge of cooking?”

Shou continued to answer honestly, “It's him.” Shou was working overtime daily and did not have the time to cook.

Shou-ma asked again. “And…. The both of you, who is the top?”

Shou's face turned red. “It's me.”

Shou called the other party's project manager and told him that his mother had come to visit him and he would like a few days off.

The project manager was very understanding and said, “You should spend more time with family.” And he approved the leave without another word.

In the afternoon, the project manager received the director's call. The director said his wife's mother came to visit and he would be taking a few days off.

The project manager repeatedly a.s.sured, “Director, don't worry. I will keep track of the project's progress.” The director was very satisfied.

The project manager sat in the office and drank a sip of his coffee, thinking, “In such a day and age, it is hard to see such filial children. These two mothers are so fortunate.”

(T/N: BAHAHAHAHA.)

With the couple, Shou-ma stayed in S City for three days. Gong could talk really well and cooked tasty dishes. He managed to win Shou-ma over and the more she saw this son-in-law, the more she liked him.

Shou-ma was happy, so was Shou.

But there was one downside. As Shou-ma was sleeping in the next room, they could not do their usual exercise before bedtime in full swing, which became subdued.

On the fourth day, Shou went back to the office to cancel his leave and started to make up for some of the work that was left behind. Gong went back to the office too.

At night, Shou stayed behind for overtime and rushed his work. Gong stayed behind as well.

Seeing that his boss had not left, the project manager did not dare to leave first.

The project manager sat at his desk and did his work seriously. At that time, the director shouted for the small programmer to come to his personal office. It was only after one hour that the programmer came out.

The director's face had a contented smile while the little programmer looked very drained.

Once again, the project manager drank his coffee, thinking, “Now not only does the other party has a heavy workload, the leader has to teach them personally. Definitely not an easy job.”

(T/N: The MVP for this chap is the project manager hahahahaha)

Shou-ma stayed in S City for a week. On the weekend, Shou and Gong sent her to the train station.

Before leaving, Shou-ma tugged Shou's hand and said to him, “Son, actually Xiao Fu is not that previous boyfriend you mentioned right?”

Shou was astonished but honestly nodded his head to admit.

Shou-ma said, “Even though Ma is unsure why you broke up with the other guy, but if you are suffering, you must tell me and not keep it inside okay? Ma has not seen this world before. I have no idea how the relations.h.i.+p between two guys are and I am always worried you would get tricked or bullied. But this time after seeing Xiao Fu, I find that he is quite a good person, mature and stable, and a person that can be relied on. The two of you have to get along well okay.”

Shou's eyes were red and he could only nod.

After sending Shou-ma off, the two returned to the car. Gong asked, “What did your mom whisper to you?”

Shou tugged the corner of his clothes and replied, “Just….said the both of us are quite compatible.”

Gong's expression was calm as he stared at Shou and asked again, “What do you think?”

“Think about?”

“Are we compatible?”

Shou turned his gaze away, not daring to look at Gong anymore and asked back with a question, “What about you?”

“I think we can give it a try.”
