My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Mo got up and went to open the door. When he saw An Youyu outside the door, his eyes widened in amazement.

Wearing a long cyan dress, she looked like a princess from a fairy tale. Her stunning beauty, combined with her beautiful figure, made her a picture of loveliness, purity, sexiness, and ethereal charm.

An Youyu noticed Lin Mo's fixed gaze, her jade lips pursed slightly, and she waved her jade hand in front of his eyes, "Looking at people like that again?"

The slight reproach softened Lin Mo's heart, and he smiled awkwardly, "There's nothing I can do. My partner is so beautiful. You're already stunningly beautiful, and with a little bit of makeup, even a fairy would pale in comparison."

Such praise made An Youyu's cheeks flush red. "You... how come you're getting more and more glib?"

She took Lin Mo's left arm and said, "Grandma told us to go downstairs to the living room and wait for the guests to arrive soon."

Lin Mo instinctively wanted to ruffle the girl's hair, but as soon as he raised his right hand, An Youyu reminded him, "Don't ruffle my hair. This hairstyle is the result of several older sisters' hard work."

Lin Mo reluctantly withdrew his hand. "Who said I was going to ruffle your hair? You're so presumptuous."

"cut……"

As she went downstairs, An Youyu asked the question that had been bothering her, "Lin Mo, who's coming? It's so late, even if they're visiting, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"A big shot."

Lin Mo didn't hide anything, "If nothing unexpected happens, the other party is here to see me."

An Youyu was surprised, "Looking for you? What do you want? Lin Mo, have you been doing something bad behind my back?"

"..."

Lin Mo flicked her forehead in an annoyed tone, "You really don't trust me?"

An Youyu turned her head away guiltily, "It's not that I don't believe you, I just... I just wanted to ask, yes, I just wanted to ask."

Lin Mo smiled and simply said, "The other party is probably after MY's battery technology. Now you should understand, right?"

"MY Battery Technology?"

An Youyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, but quickly a look of curiosity appeared on her face, "So what do you plan to do? Hand over the MY battery technology?"

Lin Mo smiled mysteriously, "Guess."

An Youyu pouted coquettishly, "How could I possibly guess that? I can't fathom your thoughts."

"Sigh, you still don't understand me."

Lin Mo sighed with disappointment, "Little Fish, are we still a couple?"

"Yes."

"Then why don't you understand me? Is it because you don't care about me? Is it because you don't like me? Is it because..."

"stop!"

An Youyu pleaded with a pained expression, "Lin Mo, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you just now. I apologize. Please don't ask anymore, okay?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, "You know you were wrong?"

An Youyu breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had been granted a pardon, and nodded quickly with her chin, "Okay, I understand."

Lin Mo pointed to his face, "Aren't you going to do something about it?"

An Youyu shook her head frantically, "No way."

"why not?"

Meeting Lin Mo's puzzled gaze, An Youyu pointed to her lips, "I'm wearing lipstick, it'll leave a mark, can we...can we wait until after we meet the guests?"

Lin Mo looked down at the girl's delicate red lips and couldn't help but swallow. "Little Fish, there is an interest charge for delays."

"Interest?"

An Youyu was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses. A blush rose on her pretty face, and she muttered softly, "Paying interest is paying interest, as if no one can afford it."

Such a assertive statement made Lin Mo grin mischievously. "Do you know what I mean by interest?"

"What else could it be?"

An Youyu lowered her burning cheeks, her soft voice filled with shyness, "Didn't you want to be naughty? After we meet the guests... I'll let you be naughty, okay?"

"That's what you said."

"…Um."

"Hahaha!"

Lin Mo's laughter echoed into the living room on the first floor. Xu Yanshu, Lin Shu, and Lin Xue exchanged glances, and finally Xu Yanshu broke the silence, "Xiao Mo is laughing so loudly, did he eat something?"

One sentence amused Lin Shu and Lin Xue.

Lin Shu stopped laughing. "Mom, you've learned to joke now?"

Lin Xue chimed in, "That's right, Mom, you weren't like this before!"

Xu Yanshu's gaze swept around, finally settling on her eldest daughter, Lin Shu. "In the end, isn't it all because of you? If you had come home sooner, I could have resolved my inner conflict sooner. Because of you, I've been depressed for twenty years. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would never have given birth to you. You've made me so angry!"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Lin Shu didn't dare to speak, only offering a forced smile.

Lin Xue spoke up to help her out, "Mom, everything has already happened, so please stop talking about Sister Shu. At least everything is fine now, isn't it?"

Xu Yanshu nodded at first, then looked somewhat surprised, "Xiaoxue, don't you usually like to kick Xiaoshu when she's down? Shouldn't you have taken the opportunity to criticize Xiaoshu just now?"

Lin Xue explained confidently, "Mom, I don't like hearing you say that. What do you mean by kicking someone when they're down? I was just telling the truth!"

“We may bicker, but Sister Shu is my sister, so naturally I hope our family can be harmonious and happy.”

Xu Yanshu's smile revealed a look of relief.

Lin Shu cupped Lin Xue's face and rubbed it, saying, "At least you have a conscience!"

Lin Xue slapped Lin Shu's hand away and said angrily, "Sister Shu, I just spoke up for you, and this is how you treat me? I have a conscience, but you don't!"

After finishing her rant, she took out her makeup kit and started touching up her makeup, complaining as she did so, "You're a woman too, don't you know you can't just touch a girl's face after she's put on makeup? It's so annoying!"

Lin Shu chuckled inwardly and nudged Lin Xue's shoulder. "Who said that? I often touch Yu'er's face, and she hasn't said anything."

"Can it be the same?"

Lin Xue rolled her eyes. "Don't you know Yu'er's skin condition? Does she need makeup? Do you know that when I went to Yu'er's room just now, the makeup artist told me personally that Yu'er only needs to apply some lipstick, and her skin is more beautiful than any makeup. If I had Yu'er's skin condition, I could let you rub my face without any problem."

As they spoke, Lin Mo and An Youyu walked down the stairs.

"Mom, Xuejie is right, Xiaoyuer's skin really doesn't need makeup."

As soon as Lin Mo spoke, the three people on the sofa all looked towards the stairwell.

The moment Lin Shu saw An Youyu, her heart melted. "Yu'er, come here and let Auntie see you. What a gentle and beautiful outfit you are!"

An Youyu walked lightly to Lin Shu and affectionately hugged her arm, saying, "Auntie is also very beautiful and gentle."

Xu Yanshu and Lin Xue both spoke up.

"And me?"

An Youyu smiled shyly, "Grandma and Sister Xue are the same, they are both very beautiful."

Xu Yanshu wanted to tease her, "Yu'er, does what you're saying mean that Xiaoxue and I aren't gentle anymore?"

"No."

An Youyu has high, plump lips.

Xu Yanshu burst into laughter at her youngest daughter's gesture. "Alright, I was just teasing you."

She looked at Lin Mo and said, "Xiao Mo is also very handsome. The two of you standing together are indeed a sight to behold. Just looking at you makes one feel happy."

Lin Mo sat on the single sofa on one side, "Grandma, I finally heard you praise me, it's really not easy!"

Xu Yanshu found it amusing. "You're my own grandson, why would I praise you every day? Besides, your mother specifically told me to praise you less, saying that you get cocky when she praises you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo looked at his mother with resentment, "Mom, can't you say something nice about me?"

Lin Shu spread her hands. "Xiao Mo, am I wrong?"

Lin Mo facepalmed. "Of course that's wrong. What do you mean I get cocky when you praise me? That's not right at all! It's utter nonsense, no, it's slander! Do you believe I'll sue you for slander?"

Lin Shu's smile held a hint of threat. "Oh ho, you've gotten quite bold, haven't you?"

"cough--"

Lin Mo forced a smile and explained, "Mom, you can't keep threatening people like this. We're just discussing the matter at hand and we need to be reasonable."

Lin Shu scoffed, "Reasoning? Don't you find it ironic that you're trying to reason with a woman?"

She glanced at her son with disdain. "Let me tell you the truth, I'm just unreasonable, so what?"

"..."

Having chatted for this long, what else could Lin Mo say?

He waved his hand weakly, "Fine, fine, you're my mom, okay? I won't say anything."

Lin Shu smiled, as if he were a victor.

Suddenly, An Youyu's voice rang out, "Auntie, you can't be unreasonable. You still have to be reasonable."

Lin Shu's smile froze instantly. She coughed lightly, "Well... Yu'er, it's not that Auntie is unreasonable. Auntie is only unreasonable to Xiao Mo. I certainly won't be unreasonable to you."

An Youyu shook her head slightly, "Auntie, you can't be unreasonable with Lin Mo, even if he's your son."

Lin Shu coughed, "Yes, Yu'er is right, Auntie will definitely pay attention in the future."

An Youyu blinked. "Then why don't you apologize to Lin Mo? He seems really upset."

Lin Shu: "..."

One second you've made a tough statement, and the next you're going to contradict yourself?

That's so embarrassing!

Can……

The future daughter-in-law has spoken; there's no ignoring her!

"Xiao Mo, I was wrong just now. Don't look so down, like someone owes you a million bucks. Cheer up."

Lin Mo's lips twitched. "I'm happy that you didn't look down."

"Smile."
