I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 402 An Intimate Encounter Caught by the Mother-in-Law

The second floor, which used to be Yifei's room.

The place was cleaned up in the afternoon, and Lin's mother stayed here temporarily.

Perhaps it's because I haven't adjusted to the time difference yet, or perhaps the room is too quiet.

Wearing her daughter's nightgown and an eye mask, Lin's mother lay on the bed for a while, but did not feel sleepy at all.

If you can't sleep, don't stay in bed.

Getting up to do some housework and exercising might help her fall asleep, a view that Lin's mother always agreed with.

Lin's mother lay down for a few more minutes, then got up, turned on the bedside lamp, and put on the slippers she had bought from the mall.

I'm going to go and have a chat with my daughter.

The apartment building, along with her daughter's good friends, left a pretty good impression on Lin's mother.

As for his daughter's boyfriend.

It's clear he's a pretty good guy, though perhaps not quite as outstanding as the prodigies Lin's mother has seen.

However, my daughter's happiness is more important than that.

Lin's mother was a victim of a traditional arranged marriage. Although she and her husband treated each other with respect, she had also experienced the feeling of resistance to marrying a stranger.

Therefore, Lin's mother was against her husband finding a blind date for their daughter.

But then again.

When Lin's mother learned that her daughter had a boyfriend in Shanghai, she was not very supportive.

On the one hand, my daughter is still too young and has an innocent and naive personality, making her easily deceived and misled.

On the other hand, although Lin's mother did not approve of the marriage alliance, there was a certain necessity to match social status.

I need to be able to help my daughter in at least some way.

As the sole heir to the Lin family's national bank, Lin Wanyu was destined to be coveted by many powerful forces.

But seeing her daughter's resolute attitude, Lin's mother didn't say anything more.

Moreover, judging from her husband's words, it seems that their daughter has good taste.

Lin's mother accompanied her daughter to Shanghai this time, intending to personally meet her daughter's boyfriend.
Based on today's schedule.

Lin's mother finally understood why her daughter had fallen so deeply in love with a man.

Gu Yifan's image, temperament, career, and the evaluations of his friends far exceeded Lin's mother's expectations.

Lin's mother felt a little relieved and decided not to interfere in her daughter's relationship.

However, since that's the case...

Lin's mother began to consider another matter.

It's about my daughter and her boyfriend's future.

If the two are to get married, it means that the man will become one of the future leaders of Lin's International Bank.

The daughter will also lose the support that a husband of equal social standing would bring, and the pressure will be even greater.

In that case, it would be better to persuade your daughter to take her boyfriend to New York as soon as possible and start cultivating their relationship early.

Lin's mother knew far more than her daughter.

Although her husband's Lin's International Bank seemed to have reached its peak, becoming one of the top banks in the United States and the largest investment bank founded by Chinese.

But a crisis is gradually emerging, and undercurrents are surging beneath the surface.

Although her husband didn't talk much about company matters.

However, Lin's mother also vaguely sensed that her husband was worried about the future of Lin's International Bank.

Therefore, it is very important to have someone by your side who can share your husband's burdens.
Thinking to herself, Lin's mother sat by the bedside for a while, then got up and walked towards the door.

downstairs.

On the sofa, Lin Wanyu was sitting intimately on Gu Yifan's lap, pressing her face against his shoulder and rubbing against him.

Of course, the two of them didn't do anything.

To be precise, it's that Miss Lin didn't have the guts.

But the longing for each other after so long made Lin Wanyu reluctant to get up from Gu Yifan's arms.

"Isn't that enough? Aren't you afraid your aunt will find out?"

Gu Yifan gently stroked Wan Yu's jet-black hair, feeling a slight itch as her hair brushed against his neck, and teased her.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Miss Lin raised her small face nonchalantly, examined Gu Yifan's cheek, and grinned at him. "My mom falls asleep very quickly, and besides, she must be exhausted. I'm exhausted too, Gu Yifan, don't you feel sorry for her?"

As Lin Wanyu spoke, she stared at Gu Yifan with a pitiful look, clearly seeking comfort.

"How could I not feel sorry for you?" Gu Yifan smiled and unexpectedly kissed Wan Yu's thin pink lips.

Miss Lin, however, would not be fooled so easily.

She proactively raised her fair arms and wrapped them around Gu Yifan's neck, her cicada-wing-like eyelashes fluttering slightly as she spoke in a very, very soft voice.

"Do you miss me?"

"Of course I want to," Gu Yifan replied without hesitation.

"You got it right." Lin Wanyu was very satisfied that Gu Yifan didn't hesitate. She gave Gu Yifan a light kiss on the lips, then whispered a request while pressing her forehead against his.

"To be more specific, how much do you want to?"

Gu Yifan blinked and didn't say anything, but his hand went down Wan Yu's leg to her slender waist.

Lin Wanyu's pretty face immediately turned slightly red, and she twisted her waist to shake off Gu Yifan's hand.

"You scoundrel, when someone asks you if you miss me, is all you think about is that kind of thing?"

Gu Yifan laughed, "With such beauty before me, it would be strange if I didn't want to."

"Pah, all they do is spout nonsense to fool and deceive me."

Although Lin Wanyu said that, her eyes gradually became hazy.

Miss Lin, inhaling the wonderful scent emanating from Gu Yifan that she could never get enough of, felt a surge of desire. After a moment, she said shyly in a low voice, "I...actually, I want to too."

As soon as she said that, Lin Wanyu's cheeks turned even redder.

The innocent and naive girl from before has grown into a young woman.

Lin Wanyu was starting to get hooked; she was moved and her heart was stirred.

Gu Yifan swallowed hard, hesitating slightly. "Auntie is still upstairs. Should we wait a little longer?"

Lin's mother had just asked the two of them during the day whether anything had happened. If Lin's mother found out...
Gu Yifan could wait.

But Lin Wanyu's eyes flashed with cunning. She deliberately twisted her body mischievously and said with a grin, "Wow, even a big bad guy can be scared?"

Gu Yifan's face hardened. "Don't play with fire, or you'll get burned."

Lin Wanyu disagreed, "People say playing with fire will cause bedwetting, so do chefs have to wear diapers to bed at night?"

Miss Lin's way of thinking is still so unique that Gu Yifan can't refute it.

But soon an idea struck him, and he was just about to speak.

"Don't say it!"

"Ok?"

Gu Yifan looked up, and Lin Wanyu's eyes also sparkled with shyness. Seeing his surprised expression, she pouted and warned him.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Tsk tsk tsk, everyone thought Lin Daiyu was innocent and naive, but it turns out she's already a seasoned pro.

Gu Yifan laughed, a wicked and arrogant laugh.

Lin Wanyu blushed and twisted his arm hard, but still feeling unsatisfied, she punched Gu Yifan in the chest several times with her fists.

"What's going on in your head?!"

No, how dare you say that to me?
Gu Yifan replied in a tone that was three parts teasing and seven parts serious, "Of course it's all you."

"Ugh~ That's so cheesy." Lin Wanyu made a disgusted face.

Gu Yifan was displeased. "Fine, I'm being cheesy?"

He seized the opportunity and gently tickled Lin Wanyu under her armpits with both hands.

Lin Wanyu, who was ticklish, immediately felt itchy all over and instinctively shivered, trying to struggle, "Ugh, Gu Yifan, don't tickle me, giggle giggle."

But the more Lin Wanyu did this, the more vigorously Gu Yifan scratched.

Miss Lin was practically writhing in pain, but she dared not laugh out loud, tears welling up in her eyes as she tried to hold it in.

at this time.

The slight sound of the door opening reached Gu Yifan's ears from upstairs.

Gu Yifan subconsciously looked up.

At the same time, he reacted quickly and pushed Miss Lin, who was still laughing, aside.

The next second, the door to Lin's mother's room on the second floor opened.

"Gu Yifan, what are you doing!"

Lin Wanyu was laughing so hard she was exhausted when Gu Yifan suddenly pushed her away, and she was a little annoyed.

at this time.

"Wanyu? Yifan, you guys aren't asleep yet?"

On the second floor, her mother's puzzled voice reached Lin Wanyu's ears.

Lin Wanyu was immediately shocked, her mind went blank, and she subconsciously looked up.

Lin's mother walked out of the room and was looking at the two people on the sofa with a slight frown.

Without a doubt, Miss Lin is now somewhat panicked.

Although she had been quite bold and dismissed Gu Yifan's warning, her heart still skipped a beat when she was almost caught by her mother.

Gu Yifan, however, remained calm and composed, displaying both skill and daring.

"Auntie, you haven't rested yet? Wanyu and I were planning to watch some TV before going to sleep."

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother, looking somewhat suspicious, turned and went downstairs after seeing that both her daughter and Gu Yifan were dressed perfectly.

Taking the opportunity, Lin Wanyu quickly calmed her pounding heart and her slightly disheveled clothes.

Gu Yifan subtly pulled up Lin Wanyu's skirt to cover her exposed legs.

At the same time, seeing Miss Lin's flustered appearance, I couldn't help but want to laugh.

Just now, someone confidently said that her mother must be exhausted and already asleep.

Gu Yifan stood up and walked to the stairs to buy Wanyu some time. "Auntie, please be careful."

"It's alright, but it would be best to install a handrail on the railing, just in case someone falls." Lin's mother did not refuse Gu Yifan's help and helped him down the stairs.

Gu Yifan scratched his head, glancing at the staircase that had been turned into a bookshelf; there were indeed some safety hazards.

"I'll have someone install the railings tomorrow."

Lin's mother was very satisfied with Gu Yifan's attitude and nodded. "I couldn't sleep. I was going to chat with Wanyu, but I didn't expect that you were all still awake."

As she spoke, Lin's mother looked past Gu Yifan and onto her daughter on the sofa. She glanced at her and smiled.

"With Wanyu here, she probably doesn't stay up late all the time."

Gu Yifan watched Lin's mother's expression and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she looked normal and had no special reaction.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to hear the noise from the second-floor room beforehand.

Otherwise, wouldn't Lin's mother catch them red-handed?

Imagine if Lin's mother saw her daughter and Gu Yifan acting so intimately, with those suggestive poses.

Even if Gu Yifan jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't clear his name.
No, he couldn't clear his name anyway.

"Wanyu goes to bed early and gets up late, she needs to sleep for twelve hours a day before getting up, so don't worry, Auntie," Gu Yifan said jokingly, feeling relieved.

At this moment, Lin Wanyu, having calmed her heartbeat, also came over and hugged her mother's arm, "Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I couldn't sleep and wanted to chat with you, Wanyu. Now it seems I've disturbed you both," Lin's mother replied.

Gu Yifan quickly shook his head, "No, no, I'm going to wash up now. Auntie, you and Wanyu can chat."

Lin Wanyu also said in a coquettish tone, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"

But Lin's mother had an "I understand" look on her face.

In reality, she didn't believe for a second that nothing had happened between Wan Yu and Gu Yifan. Living under the same roof, they had probably already done what they should and shouldn't have done. However, she still had to say what needed to be said.

Lin's mother noticed that Lin Wanyu's hair was still a little wet, so she asked, "Where is the hair dryer? Look, you came out with your hair still wet, and it's winter. What if you catch a cold?"

Lin Wanyu disagreed, "I was just about to have Gu Yifan blow it for me."

With that, Miss Lin gave Gu Yifan a command, "Gu Yifan, get me the hair dryer. Humph, I don't need your help!"

Gu Yifan shrugged. "Okay."

To be honest, although I appeared calm on the surface.

But it's still a bit awkward to be looked at like that by your mother-in-law.

It feels like stealing someone's precious daughter when they're not looking.

Gu Yifan went to the bathroom, brought back the hairdryer and handed it to Lin's mother, then turned around and went back to wash up.

When Lin's mother saw that her daughter was secretly looking at her, she slapped her side with a reproachful tone.

"Come and sit down."

"Hehe, I'm here, I'm here."

Lin Wanyu moved a small chair and sat down next to the sofa so that her mother wouldn't have to turn sideways to blow-dry her hair.

Lin's mother turned on the hairdryer and started drying her daughter's hair on the low setting.

Lin Wanyu acts like a child in front of her mother, constantly trying to snuggle into her mother's arms.

Reluctantly, Lin's mother turned off the hairdryer and gently patted her daughter's head. "Don't move, you'll burn yourself. When Yifan is drying your hair, are you this restless too?"

Lin Wanyu was about to subconsciously answer no, but then her face turned red, and she stammered, "Usually, I usually brag about it myself?"

Lin's mother rolled her eyes; she really was stupid.

"So, does Yifan usually blow-dry your hair like this?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from her mother any longer, Lin Wanyu simply stopped pretending and shook her head, "He was always standing up while he was blowing it for me."

Lin's mother continued to blow-dry her daughter's hair, and the two did not speak. Gradually, Lin Wanyu's slightly nervous mood eased.

At home, even though she was with her parents, with the help of a maid, Lin Wan could hardly remember the last time her mother had blow-dried her hair.

The manor house was too big, but the suites, though smaller, felt much cozier.

Girls' hair is long, so it's not easy to dry it.

When Gu Yifan took a quick shower, changed into a T-shirt and shorts, and came out, Lin's mother was still drying Wanyu's hair.

Gu Yifan smiled knowingly upon seeing this.

Not intending to disturb them, I prepared to go back to my room.

I probably won't have much of a chance to be alone with Miss Lin tonight.

Unexpectedly, upon seeing Gu Yifan come out, Lin's mother turned off the hairdryer and, taking care of him, said, "Yifan."

"What's wrong, Auntie?" Gu Yifan turned around. Could it be that Lin's mother was planning to have a heart-to-heart talk with him?
To everyone's surprise, Lin's mother stood up and smiled gently.

"Why don't you help Wanyu blow-dry her hair?"

Gu Yifan was a little stunned. "Huh?"

Lin's mother explained, "I'm going upstairs to sleep now, so I won't disturb your conversation."

Although Lin's mother originally intended to have a heart-to-heart talk with Wanyu, it was clear that the two young people hadn't seen each other for so long and needed some time alone.

Lin's mother didn't intend to get involved.

Lin Wanyu was a little drowsy and almost fell asleep. "Mom, you should go back to sleep now. Goodnight."

Lin's mother shook her head and gave Gu Yifan a helpless look.

Gu Yifan then quickly walked over and took the hair dryer, saying, "Auntie, please rest first."

"Well, you two should go to bed early too, and don't stay up too late watching TV," Lin's mother said with a hidden meaning.

Gu Yifan blushed and nodded repeatedly, "Okay."

Seeing that her mother had left, Lin Wanyu got up from the small stool and plopped down on the sofa.

Sitting on a small stool is a bit cramped, so this is much more comfortable.

"Gu Yifan, blow faster, I'm a little sleepy~"

Lin's mother walked up the stairs and saw Gu Yifan carefully blow-drying her daughter's hair. She shook her head with a sigh.

Only then did he return to his room.

Hearing the door close, Gu Yifan finally felt relieved.

Does this mean Lin's mother approves of him?

I guess so, otherwise why would he have been asked to blow-dry Wanyu's hair?

"Hey, what did your auntie just say to you?"

Lin Wanyu was enjoying the comforting sensation of Gu Yifan scratching her head, a sensation that seemed to touch her soul, and said with her eyes slightly narrowed.

"I didn't say anything, I just asked if you used to blow-dry my hair often."

They blew for about five or six more minutes.

Gu Yifan patted Wan Yu, who was almost asleep, and said, "Alright, go back to your room and sleep."

"Oh"

Lin Wanyu nodded groggily, stood up, yawned, and prepared to walk towards Gu Yifan's room.

"You went to the wrong room. Go back to your room to sleep."

Lin Wanyu then realized what was happening and stuck out her tongue, "People are used to it."

Lin Wanyu was a little unhappy at the thought of sleeping alone that night. "Gu Yifan, don't you want to hold me while we sleep?"

"Stop fooling around, go back to sleep."

"Okay." Lin Wanyu nodded. "Goodnight~"

Despite this, Lin Wanyu did not move, her eyes fixed on Gu Yifan.

Until Gu Yifan put his arm around her waist, Lin Wanyu tiptoed and offered her fragrant lips, and the two shared a light kiss.

"You must think of me even in your dreams," Lin Wanyu whispered.

"Mm." Gu Yifan nodded.

Lin Wanyu then gracefully went upstairs.

The living room lights went out shortly afterward.

The next morning.

Gu Yifan was woken up by his biological clock and glanced at his watch; it was exactly seven o'clock.

So I got ready, first going to the gym to work out, and then buying breakfast on the way back.

When Gu Yifan opened the door, he found that someone was already in the kitchen.

It was not Ms. Hu.

"Auntie? You're up so early?"

Hearing the voice, Lin's mother, who was frying eggs, turned her head, her expression somewhat surprised. "Yifan, you're awake?"

Speaking of which, Lin's mother, who was wearing Wanyu's pajamas, looked very much like her daughter from behind and in profile. However, Lin's mother exuded the charm of a mature woman.

"Yeah, I was about to go to the gym." Gu Yifan walked over.

"Have some breakfast first before you go," Lin's mother asked with a gentle smile. "Yifan, do you always get up this early in the morning?"

"It's alright, I sleep better." Gu Yifan did not refuse the invitation.

When I got to the restaurant, I found that there was only a glass of milk and some toast.

It seems that Lin's mother estimated that he and Wanyu wouldn't get up very early, so she made her own portion.

"Auntie, why didn't you get some more sleep? It's been such a long flight."

Lin's mother came over with a plate and placed it in front of Gu Yifan, also pushing her bread and milk towards her.

"Yifan, you eat first, don't be shy. I'm jet-lagged, I slept for a while and then woke up again, I don't sleep as well as you young people."

"Auntie, you're still very young," Gu Yifan said, offering a small compliment.

Not long after, Lin's mother fried another slice of bread and poured a glass of milk, which was breakfast.

She pulled out a chair, sat down opposite Gu Yifan, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Breakfasts in America are too sweet, so I don't usually eat much in the morning. Yifan, if you feel like you don't have enough to eat..."

"It's alright, this is enough," Gu Yifan quickly said.

"That's good." Lin's mother picked up her milk and took a sip, then asked casually, "Wanyu didn't stay up late last night, did she?"

"No, she fell asleep while she was drying her hair, she was probably tired too," Gu Yifan replied readily.

"Yes, I don't object to the two of you being together, but you need to take precautions," Lin's mother said calmly, taking a sip of her milk.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Yifan nodded, "Don't worry."

Lin's mother fell silent. Although it was just a simple breakfast, she ate it with the elegance of a high-end dinner.

It is evident that Lin's mother has her own standards for life, as elegant as bamboo, completely different from the somewhat boisterous Wanyu.

Gu Yifan didn't have much to say, so he finished his meal in a few bites and said, "Auntie, I'll be going now."

Lin's mother nodded, then noticed that Xiao Shiwan had also come with Gu Yifan. "By the way..."

Gu Yifan stopped and looked over, noticing that Lin's mother's gaze was fixed on Xiao Shiwan. He suddenly realized and said, "Oh, Wanyu will probably sleep until eleven or twelve o'clock. Why don't you let Xiao Shiwan keep you company?"

"Little Ten Thousand? That's an interesting name." Lin's mother nodded.

Lin's mother really liked the puppy.

"Little Shiwan, your task today is to keep Grandma company. Remember to listen to Grandma, understand?" Gu Yifan squatted down and said to Little Shiwan.

Little Ten Thousand, who was still wagging its tail, was a little disappointed, but it still stretched out its paw to shake hands with Gu Yifan, which was considered as an agreement.

When Lin's mother saw this scene, although she had heard her daughter mention many times that Xiao Shiwan was very smart, she was still somewhat surprised to see that it understood Gu Yifan's words as soon as he spoke.

As expected, Xiao Shiwan did not go out with Gu Yifan. Instead, he watched him leave before turning around and running to Lin's mother's side, where he squatted down in front of her.

A smile appeared on Lin's mother's calm face. "A little over 100,000?"

Little Ten Thousand wagged its tail in response, but didn't bark.

"How about you spend some time with Grandma today, sweetie? Are you hungry? Grandma will make you some breakfast."

Yes, that's why they say grandparents and grandchildren have a special bond.

Although she wasn't his granddaughter, but just his daughter's pet, Lin's mother still loved this handsome little dog very much.

Gu Yifan went to the gym in the commercial street for more than an hour and then bought Wanyu's favorite breakfast to take back with him.

When I got back to the apartment, it was only a little past 9:30.

To Gu Yifan's surprise, Miss Lin actually got up.

"I am back."

Hearing Gu Yifan open the door, and still yawning as if she hadn't had enough sleep, Miss Lin turned her head.

"Gu Yifan, you're back."

"Why are you up so early? Have you had breakfast?" Gu Yifan asked.

Lin Wanyu pouted and whispered, "It's all because my mom woke me up and told me to wait until noon to take a nap. How annoying!"

Lin Wanyu no longer wants her mother to stay in the apartment and keep an eye on her.

Gu Yifan chuckled, "I bought some soup dumplings, do you want some?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyu's eyes lit up and she quickly nodded, "Eat!"

Just as Gu Yifan put the things on the kitchen table.

Hu Yifei pushed open the door and walked in, yawning, "Good morning."

Good morning, Feifei!

"Wow, Wanyu, why are you up so early today?"

Everything felt like it was back to before the Lunar New Year.
