My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Mo looked helpless. "What kind of elder teases a junior like this?"

Lin Shu tilted her head back without a care, "What do I care what other people's elders are like? I am who I am, a different kind of flower."

Lin Mo spat out the water he had just drunk. "Mom, you've been blooming for quite a while now, haven't you?"

"go away!"

Lin Shu glared at her son, then her gaze fell on An Youyu. "How have you decided? Do you want to join the archaeological team?"

"want."

An Youyu ladled a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Lin Mo, a smile playing on her lips. "Auntie, Lin Mo and I have already discussed it. When are we leaving?"

"Ten o'clock in the morning."

"so fast?"

With only two hours left to spend with Lin Mo, An Youyu's face showed obvious reluctance.

Lin Shu joked, "It's not like you're not coming back, why are you looking so gloomy?"

"Oh, by the way, Fish, how did you convince Xiao Mo? Share the process and details with Auntie."

An Youyu's eyes flashed with reproach, "Auntie, if you continue like this, Youyu will really stop talking to you. I'm not kidding."

Lin Shu rubbed her hands together with a smile. "I don't have any bad intentions. I'm just curious. If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. It's okay."

Lin Mo, who was drinking porridge, glanced at her mother and said, "Say less."

Lin Shu looked quite innocent. "Xiao Mo, Mom was really just curious. Don't you even believe me?"

"Some things are okay to be curious about, some things are not."

Lin Mo gently shook her head. "You know Xiaoyuer is easily embarrassed, yet you, as her elder, always tease her like this. Mom, I must remind you, once this little one gets angry, she's very difficult to appease."

An Youyu kicked Lin Mo at the dining table and complained softly, "What little thing? How come I'm not even a person in your mouth?"

"That's called a nickname."

"It doesn't sound nice, you should just call me Little Fish."

"Okay, little gadget."

"..."

Chapter 807 When I was eight years old

"You must behave well at home and remember what you promised me."

At the entrance of the Lin family manor, after Lin Shu got into the car, An Youyu looked at Lin Mo with reluctance. After giving him a few words of advice, she tiptoed and quickly kissed Lin Mo on the cheek.

Her pretty face flushed slightly, she tugged at Lin Mo's sleeve, "Did you hear me?"

Lin Mo touched the spot where the girl had kissed him, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Little Fish, I'm not trying to be mean, but don't you trust me at all? With someone like you as my boyfriend, do you think I could possibly be interested in other girls?"

"Who can say for sure..."

"Don't worry, just go with my mom. Remember, you can doubt everything, but you can't doubt that I like you, understand?"

Lin Mo stroked the girl's smooth, jade-like face, then lowered his head to kiss her forehead. "Come back soon."

"...Yes, I will."

An Youyu's eyes showed reluctance, "Then I'm leaving?"

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."

An Youyu kept looking back as she took a few steps, and it took her several minutes to finally get on the bus.

After the car started moving, Lin Shu chuckled and looked at the girl slumped in the back seat, looking dejected. She couldn't help but tease her, "Yu'er, you look like a statue waiting for her husband. Are you really that reluctant to part with Xiao Mo?"

The mention of the "Waiting-for-Husband Stone" made An Youyu blush, but surprisingly, she didn't refute it. She nodded her head almost imperceptibly, "Yes, it's just that I can't bear to part with him..."

Lin Shu was puzzled by the girl's unexpected answer. "Fish, Auntie has a question. Can you help Auntie answer it?"

"Just tell me. I will not hide anything from you that I can answer."

"Can you tell me when you started liking Xiao Mo?"

Upon hearing Lin Shu's question, An Youyu fell silent, pondered for a long time, and finally shook her head uncertainly, "Auntie's question is beyond my ability to answer. I don't know when I fell in love with Lin Mo."

"Anyway, after spending so much time together, I just don't want to be apart from him, not even for a single day..."

As she spoke, her face flushed uncontrollably.

A knowing glint flashed in Lin Shu's eyes, and she pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, Auntie has a guess, but it's just a guess, and I can't guarantee whether it's right or wrong. Would you like to hear it?"

An Youyu's eyes gleamed with curiosity. "Listen."

She had no experience with relationships and was completely feeling her way across the river by touching the stones.

She didn't even know what it felt like to like someone or to be jealous at first.

Lin Shu recalled the past, "When you were eight years old, the time Xiao Mo saved you, that should have planted a seed in your heart, don't you think?"

Her words instantly brought An Youyu's thoughts back to the summer when she was eight years old.

She remembered that it was raining that day. She and Lin Mo went up the mountain to pick a rare herb. The two found the target herb on a cliff, but just as they reached the bottom of the cliff, the mountain collapsed due to the heavy rain.

At that time, the two of them were still children, and they should have been completely panicked and at a loss when faced with such a situation.

But eight-year-old Lin Mo remained calm. Faced with the mudslide that was about to engulf the two of them, Lin Mo quickly carried her to a large tree a few meters away and used the rope he carried with him to tie her to the tree trunk.

After only two swirls, Lin Mo was swept away by the mudslide. By the time the rescue team found him, he had been swept hundreds of meters down the mountain, his head hitting a large rock, and he was bleeding profusely...

"When I was eight years old... It's my fault, I was the one who dragged Lin Mo up the mountain..."

An Youyu kept this matter to herself, and guilt appeared in her lowered eyes. "But in the end, it was Lin Mo who saved me, while he almost lost his life."

Seeing the girl's sadness, Lin Shu gently patted her back and comforted her, "It's all in the past now, don't be sad, cheer up."

She said half-jokingly, "Besides, if Xiao Mo hadn't saved you back then, would you have fallen for him?"

"A person's fate is predetermined from birth; every bite and sip is preordained. This is the destiny between you and Xiao Mo."

Her voice paused, and the next second, she boldly declared: "Therefore, Yu'er must become Auntie's daughter-in-law from now on, and Auntie will only recognize you."

An Youyu looked up and stared at Lin Shu for a long time before nodding slightly. "Thank you, Auntie."

"Thank me for what?"

Lin Shu smiled and gently wiped away the tears welling up in An Youyu's eyes. "If I really want to say something, Auntie should thank Yu'er. It's my blessing that you took a liking to my son."

An Youyu was amused by Lin Shu's statement, "Auntie, shouldn't it be Lin Mo's good fortune? How come it's yours..."

Lin Shu proudly tilted her head back and said, "That kid is nothing. I am the best in the world."

An Youyu's sadness instantly overwhelmed her, and she giggled, "If Lin Mo heard you say that, he would definitely roll his eyes."

Lin Shu pursed her lips. "Yu'er, after you and Xiao Mo get engaged, you can just change how you address her."

"Change your tune?"

An Youyu was a little confused, "Change your address?"

"Of course it's a form of address."

Lin Shu had planned this all along. As soon as the girl finished speaking, she answered without hesitation, "After you get engaged, don't call me Auntie anymore. Call me Mom, okay?"

"what?"

An Youyu stared blankly with wide eyes.

Lin Shu nodded seriously and said, "Anyway, you'll have to change how you address someone sooner or later. It's not too much to call someone 'Mom' after you get engaged. Besides, you're a shy girl, so I'll definitely give you some time to adjust. I'm doing this for your own good."

"Otherwise, after you and Xiao Mo get married, you won't be used to calling me 'Mom,' and that will be awkward for you. What do you think?"

"I……"

An Youyu was speechless. After a long silence, she finally gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll listen to Auntie."

"Hahaha……"

Lin Shu laughed heartily.

At this moment, she was in a better mood than ever before.

Her fish are becoming bolder and bolder.

To be honest, she didn't have much hope before she told anyone, but the result gave her a big surprise.

...

Lin Mo stood at the entrance of the manor for a long time until the car disappeared from sight before slowly turning his gaze away.

The thought of being all alone for the next month made him anything but happy.

"Sigh, what am I supposed to do at home?"

Under Bi Yan's management, Moyu Technology is developing very well. The portable air conditioner project is just one opportunity away from being launched, so there is no need for him to do anything.

Suddenly, something came to his mind.

To be precise, it was something my mother said last night.

It seems that as long as the Senate approves the archaeological project my mother is in charge of, I can participate.

As for getting approval from the Senate, such a thing would be as difficult as climbing to the sky for ordinary people, but for Lin Mo, it seems not impossible.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo's dejected mood instantly turned into excitement, and he took out his phone to dial Bi Yan's number.

The call connected, and Bi Yan's puzzled voice came through.

"Boss, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Brother Bi, could you please make a trip and deliver the core data on MY battery technology to my home..."

Chapter 808 The First Ring Center

It's past eleven o'clock in the morning.

Lin Mo waited for nearly an hour before Bi Yan finally arrived.

Bi Yan parked the car, got out, took a high-end portable combination lock case from the trunk, and strode up to Lin Mo. "Boss, why do you suddenly need the core data of MY Battery Technology?"
