She finally understood that her mother had been worrying about her all this time, just without showing it.
Chen Zhi secretly made up her mind to negotiate with Si Ye after returning.
She hoped that in public, they would be a couple, but in private, he could do whatever he wanted.
Perhaps after her mother's surgery was over, she could bring Si Ye to meet her mother, and that would put her mother even more at ease.
After all, she didn't know when Si Ye would let her go.
What if it were several years? She definitely couldn't fool her mother's eyes during that time, so it might be better to be 'honest' with her from the start.

Upstairs in the study, Si Ye was on the phone.
