It startled Ming Lan. She didn't expect this reply from her mother-n-law. Seeing her confused, her mother-in-law offered a light smile, "I mean it's your work and we all know you always stay away from home. As long as you and Zac are fine with it, we have no say in it. It's both of your life and you two have to decide what to do. Now you are back, he is away for his work so I can not question my son even because it's his work. So you don't need to be apologetic. All I want is for both of you to be happy whether you stay together all the time and spend time away from each other. We don't expect you to be an idealistic daughter-in-law. We don't follow that in our family. Just live the way you feel comfortable."
Ming Lan understood what her mother-in-law said, "Thank you, mother."
"If you are tired due to a long journey, you can rest or you can spend your time with Liwei or as you feel right. I am taking my mother to the hospital."
