My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"Come here, let me hug you."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiming's face turned as black as coal, and his eyes glared with murderous intent.

An Youyu, standing beside Lin Mo, had her eyebrows downturned.

Lin Mo coughed lightly, "Master's wife is joking, I was just kidding."

"I take it seriously."

Xia Lingrou smiled, "Come here, give me a hug."

Lin Mo: "..."

In his view, Xia Lingrou and her mother shared a common attribute.

It's hard to describe, but if I had to pick a word, it would be "unconventional".

They don't play by the rules at all!

Lin Mo smiled sheepishly, "Never mind, never mind."

Xia Lingrou snorted, "You little brat, you're still too green to play with me."

Yan Shiming gave his wife a resentful look, "Xiaorou, what if this kid really dares to hug you?"

Xia Lingrou smiled and spoke the fiercest words in the gentlest tone.

"If he dares to hug me, I'll kill him!"

Chapter 518 Praise Service

"Kill him?"

Upon hearing his wife's words, Yan Shiming's gloomy mood instantly vanished. He nodded vigorously, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it. I've been wanting to get rid of this kid for a long time. Let's kill him so he can be reincarnated sooner."

Lin Mo: "..."

What deep-seated hatred or grudge could there be?

We were teacher and student after all. Even if things don't work out, we can at least part ways amicably!

Xia Lingrou's shoulders trembled incessantly as her gaze drifted to An Youyu beside Lin Mo. "Hello, little fish."

An Youyu smiled politely and said, "Hello, teacher's wife."

Hearing the girl's clear, crisp voice, Xia Lingrou smiled and asked, "Did you miss your teacher's wife?"

"No."

"..."

This way of chatting made Xia Lingrou's smile freeze on her face instantly.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't think of a response.

For a moment, it was incredibly awkward.

Yan Shiming suppressed a laugh, "Xiao Rou, why do you have to ask such a humiliating question?"

"What do you mean?"

"This girl is very honest; she usually says whatever she thinks."

"I don't know..."

Xia Lingrou was extremely annoyed, and a hint of reproach appeared in her eyes as she looked at An Youyu, "Little Yu'er, can't you just lie to your master's wife?"

An Youyu blinked, "Is that so... I've thought about it."

"..."

Xia Lingrou slapped her forehead in frustration.

This scam is incredibly perfunctory.

Lin Mo smiled and spoke up to defuse the situation, "Teacher's wife, that's just her personality, please forgive her."

Xia Lingrou smiled wryly, "It's alright, you learn from your mistakes."

As she spoke, she winked at An Youyu, "Little Yu'er, you've hurt your teacher's feelings. Now, can you praise your teacher's wife?"

An Youyu asked in confusion, "How do I praise her?"

Xia Lingrou stared wide-eyed. "Don't you know how to compliment someone?"

"How about you teach me, madam?"

"..."

Xia Lingrou suppressed her speechless frustration and asked Lin Mo, "Doesn't she know how to compliment people?"

Lin Mo smiled strangely, "Yes, but it will require some external force."

"What external force?"

Lin Mo took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to An Youyu, "Here, praise your teacher's wife for a minute."

An Youyu's eyes lit up as she took the money and immediately launched into a praise session, "The teacher's wife is very beautiful, has a cheerful personality, and is a teacher at Tsinghua University. She's both beautiful and talented, she..."

Even Lin Mo had to admit that An Youyu was very talented at praising people.

She never repeated any of her compliments, and eventually she started quoting classical Chinese poems.

Xia Lingrou: "..."

Yan Shiming: "..."

Is this what is meant by external force?

Lin Mo chuckled and said, "If the teacher and his wife are ever in a bad mood, they can just drop in a coin. Little Fish is really good at praising people."

"wrong."

An Youyu put the money in her pocket, raised her chin, and said, "This is called getting paid to do things."

"And it's not just one set, I have many sets. If you don't believe me, place another hundred yuan for praise."

Lin Mo: "..."

What a convenient way to get things done for money!

What a compliment!

This little thing's scheme was completely out of her depth; her little motives were quite obvious—she just wanted to earn another hundred yuan.

Yan Shiming pulled a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to An Youyu. "Girl, here's a hundred yuan. You haven't praised me yet."

"okay."

An Youyu's eyes formed crescent moons, and after receiving the money, she immediately switched back to her praise mode.

Yan Shiming was overjoyed to hear this, saying, "This money was well spent."

"Of course!"

An Youyu nodded vigorously. "Youyu's praise service is officially launched. If you or your teacher need it in the future, remember to place an order with me. I can give you a 9.99% discount."

Lin Mo rubbed his forehead and gently tapped her head. "You're addicted to it, aren't you?"

"I……"

Just as An Youyu was about to explain, Xia Lingrou's voice rang out, "Little Yu'er, what if other boys also place orders for you?"

"A gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it in a proper way; the same applies to young fish."

An Youyu clapped her hands and said, "Teacher's wife, I don't earn money from just anyone, and I can't talk too much with other boys."

Xia Lingrou asked, puzzled, "Why?"

An Youyu answered without hesitation, "Because that would violate the squid's rules, so it won't work."

Xia Lingrou's lips twitched. "The Cuttlefish Rule?"

Just by hearing the name, you know that this "Cuttlefish Rules" is definitely related to Lin Mo.

Yan Shiming rolled his eyes inwardly, strode up to Lin Mo, and patted him hard on the shoulder. "Kid, you're pretty cunning, aren't you?"

"cough--"

Lin Mo said without changing his expression, "Teacher, you are mistaken. This is not called insidious, this is called clever."

Yan Shiming chuckled, "To be honest, I quite admire you."

"is it?"

Lin Mo looked surprised. "I didn't expect Teacher Yan to say something like that. It seems I'm quite excellent after all."

"Oh, by the way, teacher, what do you admire about me?"

"I admire your shamelessness."

"..."

It's better not to talk about this.

Lin Mo changed the subject: "Teacher, it's so late, why did you and your wife come all the way to Xia Bei to see me and Xiao Yu'er? Is there something important?"

"I do not know either."

As he said this, Yan Shiming's expression was extremely strange. "You should ask your teacher's wife about this. She wants to see you and An Yatou."

In fact, he knew very well why his wife had come here.

He understood perfectly well, but was too embarrassed to say it aloud, so he had no choice but to pass the buck to his wife.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's attention fell on Xia Lingrou. "Master's wife, did you want to see me and Xiaoyuer about something?"

Xia Lingrou shook her head, "I'm not looking for Xiaoyuer, I'm looking for you."

"Find me?"

Lin Mo looked puzzled. "What do you want with me?"

Xia Lingrou came to her husband's side, reached out and took off the hat on his head, pointed at his bald head and questioned, "Who told you to make my old man Yan bald?"

"This...this was just an accident."
