An Youyu handed Lin Mo's phone to him and pressed the answer button on her own phone, "Hello, Qi Yue, yes, Lin Mo and I are together, don't worry about me..."

Lin Mo sighed helplessly and glanced at the caller ID.

It was a call from my mother, Lin Shu.

He raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing in his eyes. He got up and sat down at the square table. After answering the phone, his mother's voice came from the other end.

"Xiao Mo, do you never call Mom when you need my help?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

"You... fine, you just wait. When I see you, I'll beat you up and that'll be the end of it!"

"Cough-cough-"

Lin Mo never took other people's threats to heart, but there was one person whose threats he had to take to heart.

That's right, this person is his mother, Lin Shu!

When his mother said she would beat him, she never meant it. She never failed to do it!

"Mom, I was just joking. Did you need something?"

"Why don't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"

"Yes, of course."

Lin Mo chuckled dryly, saying without batting an eye, "My son has missed you terribly these past few days. I was even thinking of calling you tonight."

"Ha! Do you think Mom's stupid? Not even a dog would believe such nonsense!"

Lin Mo chuckled awkwardly, "Mom, didn't you say you were coming to the capital a while ago? When are you coming?"

"I am in the capital right now."

"what?"

Lin Mo was very surprised. "When did you arrive in the capital? Why didn't you tell our son beforehand so I could pick you up?"

"You don't need to pick me up, someone else will."

After replying, Lin Shu revealed her purpose, "Xiao Mo, are you and Yu'er free tonight? How about we have dinner together?"

"can."

"Okay, that's settled then. I've sent two sets of clothes to Xia Bei. You and Yu'er should remember to change into them, as tonight's occasion is quite formal."

"formal?"

Hearing his mother's words, Lin Mo's thoughts raced, and he tentatively asked, "Mom, what occasion is it?"

"you guess."

"Just tell me directly. You know our son. He was raised in poverty by you since he was little and has never seen anything like it. If you tell me in advance, I can prepare accordingly. That way, I won't embarrass myself and lose face for you, right?"

"cut--"

Hearing her son's reason, Lin Shu secretly rolled her eyes and retorted irritably, "You're going to show weakness? Even if a sow could climb a tree, you wouldn't show weakness. So, as your mother, do you think I don't know your tendency to stir up trouble?"

Lin Mo clicked his tongue. "Fine, don't tell me then. Anyway, you'll be the one who loses face."

"Family dinner".

"Beep...beep beep..."

"You hung up on me again?"

Lin Mo shook his head, put away his phone, and turned around to find An Youyu eavesdropping. Her furtive appearance amused him. He raised his phone and explained, "It was my mom calling."

"Did your aunt need something?"

"It's nothing serious. She came to the capital and said she wanted me to take you out for dinner tonight, a family dinner."

Upon hearing this, An Youyu's eyes widened immediately.

Family dinner?

Take her with you?

This……

Compared to Lin Mo, she knew more. Last time, Lin Shu took her to meet Lin Mo's maternal grandfather, and she gained some understanding of Lin Mo from their conversation.

An absolute behemoth!

This kind of family banquet...

hiss--

She's not just a little weak, she's extremely weak!

"Um... is it okay if I don't go?"

An Youyu frowned and rubbed her temples. "I stayed up too late last night, and I'm not feeling well right now. I feel uncomfortable all over. I want to go back to my dorm to sleep."

Lin Mo looked at the girl's clumsy acting and said calmly, "I've already promised my mom. Anyway, you have her number. If you don't want to go, just call her and tell her."

"it is good!"

An Youyu nodded quickly and hurriedly dialed Lin Shu's number. The moment the call connected, she said her purpose, "Auntie, I heard from Lin Mo that you came to the capital and asked Lin Mo to take me out for dinner tonight. I stayed up late last night and am not feeling well, so is it okay if I don't go?"

Listening to the girl's fluent words, Lin Mo felt a surge of emotion.

There was a time when this girl would stammer and stutter when she lied, but now she can do it with ease. Tsk, she's really been corrupted by him!

"Not feeling well?"

Lin Shu's words were full of concern, "It's alright, it's alright. If you're not feeling well, just rest. Tonight's family dinner can be canceled. You can have the meal when you've recovered."

An Youyu: "..."

Will I not eat this meal without her?

Lin Mo's ears twitched slightly. Even without speakerphone, he could still hear what his mother was saying. A smile welled up in his eyes as he leisurely crossed his legs, adopting a posture of watching a good show.

The next second, An Youyu coughed lightly, "Auntie, what I mean is, why don't you and Lin Mo eat? You don't need to take me..."

"That definitely won't work. You and Xiao Mo are both main characters; it won't work if either of you is missing."

"..."

An Youyu hung her head, hesitated for a few seconds, and then had no choice but to accept her fate. "Auntie, I suddenly feel much better. It seems like I'm fine now. I'll be having dinner with Lin Mo tonight, so please don't cancel."

Since there's no way to avoid it, we'll just have to face it head-on!

Lin Shu guessed the girl's little thoughts from her attitude and teased her with a smile, "The fish is not very well-behaved."

"Auntie, the baby fish misses you so much."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Chapter 621: The Secret Was Let Tear Off

After hanging up the phone, An Youyu pursed her lips slightly, slumped weakly onto the table, and didn't say a word, just kept sighing.

This situation amused Lin Mo, who gently stroked her hair and comforted her, "It's just a meal, why are you looking so gloomy?"

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

She turned her head and winked at Lin Mo, "Is there any way I can avoid going?"

"Have."

"any solution?"

"The world is destroyed."

"..."

An Youyu realized that Lin Mo was deliberately teasing her, so she grabbed his arm and bit him, but it ended before she could exert any force.

Lin Mo looked down at the spot where the girl had bitten him, where a row of neat, faint teeth marks remained. "Little Fish, it doesn't hurt when you bite like that. Use a little more force next time."

"you……"

An Youyu stood with her hands on her hips, feeling extremely depressed.

We shouldn't have been so gentle with this bad guy; we should have bitten him to death!

Forget it, I can't bring myself to bite him to death.

Lin Mo rubbed her head. "Alright, it's just a meal. Besides, my mom and I are both here. Even if it's a family dinner, you don't need to be too nervous. Just eat and drink as usual when you get there, and don't take anything to heart, understand?"

"Eat and drink as you please, don't take anything to heart."

An Youyu murmured Lin Mo's words, and soon her eyes regained their sparkle. "That makes sense. Anyway, besides you and Auntie, I only know your grandfather..."

"Ok?"

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and frowned.

An Youyu stopped abruptly, realizing she had let something slip, and looked up at Lin Mo pitifully.

Lin Mo looked at her without saying a word.

The two stared at each other silently for about half a minute before An Youyu, feeling guilty, weakly broke the silence with a voice.

"Can you listen to my excuses?"

"Let me hear your excuses?"

Lin Mo's lips twitched. "Little Fish, are you always this direct now?"

"oh oh!"

An Youyu belatedly widened her eyes, "No, no, what I meant was... could you let me explain?"

Such an adorable sight made Lin Mo unable to stay angry at all. He sighed wearily and said, "Tell me quickly, when did you meet my grandfather?"

"My aunt took me there when I was in Jingchuan."

This time, An Youyu did not choose to hide it.

Lin Mo pressed on, "What did you hear at the time? You must tell me every single word."

"I?"
