Gu Wan’er’s heart sank. What’s going on? Had they been discovered this quickly?
Yu Taiduo was taken aback. “What do you mean, ‘come out’? Did we have a burglar?”
“Old Yu, no one would think you’re mute if you didn’t speak.” Tang Ling rolled her eyes. Even if it was a burglar, it would have to be a flower thief—no, wait, a fairy thief.
“Mom, what are you talking about? There’s no one else in our house.” Gu Wan’er forced herself to say. Yu Xiaoduo, didn’t you say your mom would be back very late? Now we can’t clear our names even if we jump into the Yellow River!
“Duoduo, this isn’t something shameful. It’s a good thing.”
“Mom, there’s really no one here.”
Just then, Tang Ling stood up. “Then let Mommy take a look.”
Gu Wan’er was about to lose her mind. Yu Xiaoduo, you menace! My innocence is being completely trampled by you, back and forth.
Then, they heard the bedroom door open. Yu Xiaoduo walked out with a smile. “Hello, Uncle and Auntie.”
Yu Xiaoduo had no idea what his mom was really like, but since he was about to be found out anyway, he figured he might as well keep some dignity and “surrender” proactively.
Seeing Yu Xiaoduo come out, Gu Wan’er felt like crying but had no tears left.
“Oh my, it really is you, young lady!” Tang Ling exclaimed with great joy. She’d had a slight suspicion earlier—could it be that girl from the car that day? She never thought it would actually be her. That rascal of hers had actually done something impressive, bringing a girl home.
Yu Taiduo was also dumbstruck. This girl was truly beautiful. He looked at his son, then wondered what on earth this girl saw in him.
“Uncle, Auntie, sorry for making a spectacle of yourselves. Xiaoduo was the one who told me to hide.”
Gu Wan’er: “??????”
Yu Xiaoduo! You’re setting me up again, aren’t you? Fine, let’s go down together then.
“Mom, Dad, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Gu Wan’er.”
Yu Xiaoduo was completely stunned, as if struck by a massive thunderbolt.
Gu Wan’er, are you sick? Who’s your boyfriend? Don’t just spout nonsense like that! How am I supposed to find a girlfriend in the future?
Watching Yu Xiaoduo’s dazed expression, Gu Wan’er felt incredibly satisfied. She’d finally found a way to deal with Yu Xiaoduo.
Yu Xiaoduo thought, You’re something else, really. This is like injuring the enemy eight thousand while sacrificing ten thousand of your own!
“Gu Wan’er?” Yu Taiduo murmured softly.
Tang Ling, however, was different. She quickly walked over and took the girl’s hand. “Wan’er, you lied to Auntie that day. But actually, Auntie saw through you two a long time ago.”
Yu Xiaoduo’s mind went numb. Mom, I’m your son, not your daughter-in-law!
Gu Wan’er, how dare you set me up like this? Just you wait.
“Auntie, it’s not what you think.” Yu Xiaoduo quickly tried to deny it.
But Gu Wan’er was determined to speak. “Wan’er, never mind. Since Mom’s already found out, let’s just admit it.”
Yu Xiaoduo’s heart was bleeding. I, the son of the ‘Big Shot Dad,’ have been turned into a daughter-in-law! Gu Wan’er, you’re so vicious, so vicious, so vicious, vicious, vicious!
Fine, if you want mutual destruction, then bring it on.
“Auntie, please don’t blame Xiaoduo. I came here on my own. Sorry for the trouble.” Yu Xiaoduo put on a shy little expression, as if to say, I came willingly to be with your son; I’m just head over heels for him.
Sure enough, when his parents heard this, they looked utterly incredulous. Their son had this kind of charm? To make a girl this proactive? They looked at their foolish son, who was already half out of his wits.
Gu Wan’er, on the other hand, was genuinely dumbfounded. She never expected Yu Xiaoduo to say something like that. She felt like a complete idiot, practically throwing herself at him.
Tang Ling didn’t care about any of that. Having such a beautiful daughter-in-law naturally made her very happy. She joked, “What trouble? If anything, we’re the ones interrupting you. Otherwise, I might be holding a grandchild in ten months.”
Yu Taiduo shook his head helplessly. His wife was just too eager for a grandchild.
Just then, Gu Wan’er said with the utmost seriousness, “Mom, I can make sure you hold a grandchild in ten months tonight, too.”
Yu Xiaoduo: “??????”
Gu Wan’er, I treat you as my boss, and you want to get with me? How are you even more twisted than I am? I seriously can’t with you, you sneaky traitor.
Gu Wan’er gave Yu Xiaoduo a provocative look. You dare? Huh?
Tang Ling hadn’t expected her son to say something like that. That was awfully impatient. “I’ll go cut some more fruit. Wan’er, you stay and play a bit longer.”
Yu Xiaoduo thought, Chief Gu, you’re something else. I’m not playing this game with you anymore. I’m going back to mess with your little sister.
“Auntie, it’s getting late. I really should go.” Yu Xiaoduo deliberately put on a cold expression, as if he were upset.
Seeing this, Tang Ling sensed trouble. That rascal really had no filter. “Duoduo, go walk her out.”
“Let’s go, Wan’er.” Gu Wan’er wrapped her arm around Yu Xiaoduo’s waist, which made Yu Xiaoduo grind his teeth in frustration.
Gu Wan’er had finally found the right way to deal with Yu Xiaoduo. Weren’t you so arrogant before? Well, I’m the man now.
After the two youngsters left, Tang Ling chuckled softly. “Finally got a girlfriend.”
Yu Taiduo, however, let out a sigh.
“Give me a smile!”
Yu Taiduo immediately broke into a nervous “hehe,” a complete henpecked husband.
Once they were outside the door, Yu Xiaoduo directly slapped Gu Wan’er’s hand away. “What are you groping?”
“I’m touching myself. What’s it to you?” Gu Wan’er shrugged, looking utterly smug. She’d finally gotten some revenge. It had been unbearable, always being suppressed by Yu Xiaoduo.
“You win this round.” Yu Xiaoduo never thought he’d see the day when he was the one being taken advantage of.
Gu Wan’er gave a cold snort. “Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re in my body. Honestly, I kind of want to experience a man’s happiness.”
Yu Xiaoduo nearly turned to stone. Did Gu Wan’er have some mastermind coaching her? How did she suddenly get so clever?
“Gu Wan’er, believe me, I’ll go experience a woman’s happiness too.”
Gu Wan’er scoffed disdainfully and said smugly, “Yu Xiaoduo, you don’t even believe that yourself. You are a man.”
I can’t believe Gu Wan’er looks so certain she’s got me figured out. How infuriating.
“Gu Wan’er, I sell my life for you, and this is how you treat me? Do you have any conscience left?”
“Who told you to keep messing with me? Don’t think I’m easy to bully.” Gu Wan’er gave a delicate hmph and walked back inside, slamming the door hard behind her.
Yu Xiaoduo spouted a stream of curses. This is my house! You’re acting like it’s yours.
But then Yu Xiaoduo suddenly chuckled. Gu Wan’er, oh Gu Wan’er, you’re still too young. You think that’s the end of it? Just wait until my parents start lecturing you.
Sure enough, as soon as she got inside, Gu Wan’er was standing in the middle of the living room getting scolded. How could you treat a girl like that? We were just joking, and you took it seriously. If word gets out, people will say our Yu family has no manners.
Gu Wan’er felt pretty gloomy. That damned rascal had put on an act, and now she was the one getting blamed.
Yu Xiaoduo, on the other hand, thought, If I actually cried, I guarantee you wouldn’t be getting a lecture. You’d be getting a double beating from both my parents.
Better go back and chat with Yun’er. Your sister is absolutely insane—she actually wants to ‘experience a man’s happiness.’
