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

"Then, Uncle and Aunt, Wanyu and I will be leaving now."

"Goodbye, Mom and Dad. We'll come see you again tonight~ Hehe."

Looking at Gu Yifan and Lin Wanyu, who looked quite well-matched standing together, Lin's father smiled and shook his head, "I probably won't be free tonight. The city leaders want to invite me to dinner, and your mother and I will be flying to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow."

Lin Wanyu blinked, "Why so soon? Stay for two more days before you leave. I haven't had a chance to talk to my mom much yet."

"If all else fails, Dad, you can go to Hong Kong first and let Mom stay with me."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lin was about to speak but choked up, his expression slightly helpless. Could this really be the words of his precious daughter?
It is often said that a daughter is her father's warm little cotton-padded jacket.

My own daughter is quite something; she only wants her mother and doesn't want her father anymore.

Seeing her elderly father's hurt expression, Lin Wanyu chuckled and stepped forward to take her parents' arms.

"Oh, I was just joking."

"Mom and Dad, you should come to Shanghai to visit often!"

When she said this, there was a hint of reluctance in Lin Wanyu's voice.

Although Miss Lin already knew her father's itinerary, seeing her parents again brought back memories of her longing, and she wanted to stay with them for a few more days.

"Alright, your mother and I will come back when you two have settled down." As he spoke, Lin's father looked at Gu Yifan, who was standing to the side, giving the family of three space to talk.

"Yifan, I'm entrusting Wanyu to your care."

Gu Yifan quickly agreed, "Don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely take good care of Wanyu for you."

Mr. Lin nodded, "Go ahead, we won't see you off."

Gu Yifan led Wan Yu into the elevator.

Mr. Lin was somewhat emotional. He was getting old and no longer young, especially when he saw his daughter and future son-in-law standing together.

Mr. Lin turned around, just about to speak to his wife, when he noticed that she was secretly wiping away tears, her eyes red and swollen.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Mr. Lin was quite surprised.

Lin's mother rolled her eyes at her husband. "What? I just want to cry, is that not allowed?"

“If you cry now, you’ll be crying your eyes out when your daughter actually gets married,” Lin’s father shook his head.

Lin's mother's voice was tinged with emotion, "When I saw Wanyu and Xiaofan standing together, it reminded me of the two of us back then. More than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"By the way, after they get married, why don't we just have them move back in together? It'll be more lively that way."

Lin's father neither confirmed nor denied this.

If he were just a typical son-in-law who moved into his wife's family, that would be one thing, but this son-in-law is quite different.

"Let's talk about this later."

"Go back and pack your things. The driver will be here to pick you up soon."

We left the large hotel where Lin's father was staying.

Gu Yifan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but remained silent, lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, Lin Wanyu's slender hand appeared before him.

“…” Gu Yifan turned his head to look.

They discovered that Lin Wanyu, who had looked like she was about to cry just moments ago, was now acting as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, why aren't you in school anymore?" Gu Yifan asked in surprise.

“Sad? What’s there to be sad about?” Lin Wanyu blinked and asked.

"?"

"Oh dear, if I hadn't said that, my mom would definitely have grumbled about it, so the more reluctant I seemed, the more reassured they would be," Lin Wanyu explained with a sly smile.

Gu Yifan: "."

How come he didn't notice before that Miss Lin was so cunning?
However, it's true that once a daughter grows up, she's no longer under her mother's control, and the saying "the elbow will turn to the outsider" is quite accurate.

"Why are you looking at me!" Lin Wanyu could tell what Gu Yifan was thinking just by looking at his eyes. Her face flushed red, and she pouted angrily at Gu Yifan, saying, "I'm doing all this for you!"

"Yes, yes, I didn't say anything." Gu Yifan smiled.

This laugh only made Miss Lin angrier, and she chased after him, her little pink fists raining down on him.

"Hmph, you filthy scoundrel!"

Seeing Lin Wanyu ignoring him in anger and turning to leave, Gu Yifan quickly reached out and grabbed her.

"Don't leave."

"Hmm?" Lin Wanyu deliberately avoided looking at Gu Yifan, waiting for him to coax her, but then she heard...

"Speaking of which, what's your opinion on Mom's suggestion to get engaged this month, honey?" Gu Yifan said seriously, then quietly took a few steps back.

as expected
Lin Wanyu stood there blankly for a few seconds.

Subsequently
"what!!!"

A loud scream rang out, drawing curious glances from passersby.

Lin Wanyu's face was no longer just slightly red, but a deep, vibrant red that reached all the way to her ears.

"Gu Yifan!!! You haven't proposed to me yet, and I haven't said yes to you. Don't talk nonsense about who your wife is!"

On the way back to the apartment, Lin Wanyu barely spoke to Gu Yifan.

It's normal to be shy.

It wasn't until they reached the apartment building that Lin Wanyu regained her composure, nudged Gu Yifan's arm, and asked, "Hey, what did you two talk about in my dad's office?"

Gu Yifan thought for a moment, "I didn't say anything, we just talked about the economic situation and stuff."

Lin Wanyu asked with some suspicion, "Just this?"

Why bother discussing these things in the office? Why not just say them face-to-face?

Gu Yifan shrugged. "Otherwise what? Oh, your dad also told me to treat you better, so I don't end up penniless."

"Pfft." Lin Wanyu laughed. "I don't believe my dad would say that."

Gu Yifan didn't say anything.

Just now, Mr. Lin did say more than just these things; at the beginning, the two of them did have a brief chat about the economic situation.

Then Lin's father asked Gu Yifan to massage his shoulders, as he was feeling tired from work lately and not as young as he used to be.

Gu Yifan then massaged the acupoints on Lin's father's shoulders and head. After all, he was her future father-in-law, and Gu Yifan, being family, knew his situation.

To say he has exceptional business acumen wouldn't be accurate.

Lin's father was a true self-made tycoon, and the business skills Gu Yifan learned from him alone were incredibly useful.

As a result, Lin's father suddenly started joking around.

He said that after Wanyu left, he would often have a strange dream.

Gu Yifan didn't think much of it at the time, but then Lin's father mentioned that in his dream, he seemed to have become the Lin family's Saint King in another world.

Gu Yifan was immediately surprised.

No, you dreamed about it too?

Gu Yifan could understand that Lin Wanyu and the others had dreams about it, but he was still surprised that Lin's father also had a dream about it, even though it seemed to be intermittent and not continuous.

Fortunately, Mr. Lin only mentioned it casually and did not intend to delve into it. Perhaps he felt that it was a bit unserious to talk about such bizarre things with his future son-in-law.

Immediately afterwards, Lin's father asked about Gu Yifan's roommates.

And so things remained peaceful until Gu Yifan finished massaging Lin's father and prepared to leave. Then, Lin's father suddenly said, with a meaningful tone, "Good friends are indeed important, but the most important thing is family, wife, and future children."

I hope Gu Yifan can understand this.

The apartment elevator doors opened.

Lin Wanyu went in first, then turned around and saw Gu Yifan still standing there, looking thoughtful.

"Hey Gu Yifan, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go."

"Oh."

Gu Yifan woke up with a start and went to Wanyu's side.

"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"

"I was thinking about proposing," Gu Yifan said casually, causing Lin Wanyu to blush immediately.

"Pah! Don't say that anymore. And don't tell Fei Fei and the others about this, okay?" Lin Wanyu's face showed a hint of worry when she mentioned Yi Fei and the others.

Gu Yifan nodded silently.

Indeed, if he were to propose to Wanyu, what would happen to Yifei and the others, not to mention Xinling, Su Huli, and Nuolan?

Can they accept it?

Gu Yifan wasn't sure either, but at least Nuolan would make him suffer a terrible death and be angry.

The fact that Mr. and Mrs. Lin brought up this matter so suddenly caught everyone off guard.

Gu Yifan originally thought that he would have to wait until he and Wan Yu dated for a few more years, until they were twenty-five or twenty-six years old, before he would bring up marriage.

Lin Wanyu secretly glanced at Gu Yifan, who had a worried look on his face, and also curled her lips, thinking, "What a womanizer."

Regardless of the circumstances, she is Gu Yifan's rightful wife!

Thinking of this, Lin Wanyu felt much better.

Suite 3601.

As soon as Gu Yifan pushed open the door, he heard Guan Gu's surprised voice.

"Youyou, you're back?"

"It's us." Gu Yifan pushed open the door and smiled at Guan Gu, whose face was full of disappointment. "What's wrong, Guan Gu? You only care about Youyou and don't welcome me?"

"No, no, no." Guan Gu's face flushed slightly. "I'm just worried about Youyou's interview."

"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Lin Wanyu said with a smile as she followed her in and closed the door behind her.

Ms. Hu, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, greeted Ms. Qin, "Wanyu, didn't you go to see your aunt and uncle? Why are you back so early?"

"Yes, I just had a meal and came back. I told you my dad is very busy."

Gu Yifan noticed the Häagen-Dazs in Zhang Wei's hand. "Hey, Wei-ge, when did you start buying such good ice cream?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei's smile vanished instantly, replaced by frustration. "Don't mention it."

"I originally just wanted to buy a little prodigy to eat, but I ended up running into a beautiful woman."

Lin Wanyu clapped her hands and laughed, "I know, Zhang Wei, you're just trying to save face, so you took Häagen-Dazs, right?"

Zhang Wei shook his head. "No, she was selling ice cream, and she immediately recognized me as someone who wasn't ordinary—a lawyer. So I bought a few extra for you guys."

"No, I won't eat anymore, I'm already full." Lin Wanyu quickly waved her hand. "Zhang Wei, you can share it with the others."

Zhang Wei said somewhat awkwardly, "What I mean is, how about I sell it to you at a lower price?"

Gu Yifan: "."

Lin Wanyu: "."

Zhang Wei seemed to realize he had acted in a very inhumane way, and added with a pained expression, "I was just joking, I'll send you two boxes later!"

Gu Yifan rolled his eyes and ignored Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei would definitely refuse if it was just a request to buy ice cream, but if it was a beautiful woman who praised him, Zhang Wei would easily get carried away.

"Tch, Zhang Wei, you're dressed in a suit and carrying a fanny pack. You're either a real estate agent or a salesperson. People can easily guess who you are." Ms. Hu was disgusted by Zhang Wei's stubbornness and willingness to suffer for his pride.

At this moment, the door to the kit was pushed open again.

Guan Gu, who hadn't participated in the conversation and was pacing back and forth in the apartment with a constipated expression, immediately rushed over again, "Youyou, you're back?"

"Wrong, it's me."

"Ziqiao."

Guan Gu looked at the nonchalant Zi Qiao, turned around and left, his face full of disappointment.

Ziqiao was very dissatisfied. "Guan Gu, you need to know that my relationship with my aunt is much closer than yours. If you want to win over my aunt, you'll have to please me first!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Gu glanced at Zi Qiao from head to toe and muttered with dissatisfaction, "This isn't the old society anymore. Even if there's something between Youyou and me, we don't need your permission, do we?"

Ziqiao shook his head as he listened, "Guan Gu, do you know that I have twelve aunts? Don't you think it's important to find out about my future relatives in advance and have an informant who knows the inside story?"

Lin Wanyu asked curiously, "But didn't Youyou say that your family has thirteen daughters?"

"Please, one of them is my mom." Ziqiao rolled his eyes.

Lin Wanyu blushed and said, "Oh, I see."

Gu Yifan rubbed Lin Wanyu's head.

Upon hearing this, Guan Gu felt there was some truth to it. "Zi Qiao, you'll help me?"

"Well, that depends on your sincerity, Guangu~" Ziqiao chuckled, rubbing his fingers together, "Lend me some money to spend."

Guan Gu: "."

"No." Gu Yifan didn't understand. "Ziqiao, haven't you made a lot of money? Why do you still need to borrow money?"

Upon hearing this, Ziqiao shrugged and said, "Of course it's all been spent."

"It's all gone?!" Ms. Hu knew that Ziqiao had earned at least six figures recently. "Ziqiao, you're such a spendthrift!"

"What? My friend is planning to open a foot massage parlor and insisted that I invest. I had no choice but to invest," Ziqiao said.

"That doesn't mean we have to invest everything. What foot massage parlor? Ziqiao, you should be careful, don't get scammed," Miss Qin said.

"Don't worry, I'm the one lying, not the other way around!" Ziqiao said confidently.

Seeing this, everyone felt that it was unlikely that Ziqiao had been scammed. Guangu took out his wallet from his pocket and said, "My comic book royalties for this month haven't come in yet, and there's not much left. Ziqiao, be careful with your money."

"Don't worry! My future uncle-in-law~" Ziqiao quickly grabbed the money.

Just then, Youyou quietly pushed open the door and came in.

"What little clothes?"

Upon hearing the sound, Guan Gu's body stiffened, and he looked towards the doorway before quickly speaking.

"Youyou, you're back! How did the interview go?"

"It's alright~ I just heard you were wearing small clothes, Ziqiao, are your clothes too small?" Youyou didn't think of anything else at all.

"Yeah, I've gained weight recently and I'm planning to buy new clothes. Okay, you guys chat~" Ziqiao made up an excuse and slipped away.

Ms. Hu greeted Youyou, "How did the interview go?"

“An interview,” Youyou said, looking somewhat dejected. Guan Gu’s heart jumped into his throat.

"Could it be that it didn't work out, you bastard! There must be some shady dealings behind this. What's going on with this director?! I'll go find him for you, Youyou!"

Seeing Guan Gu's excited expression, Youyou quickly pulled him back and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Alright! The interview was a complete success. Standing before you now is Tang Youyou, the female lead of the wildly popular TV series 'Reversal Hero'!" (End of Chapter)
