My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Mo put down his water glass, smiled and nodded, "Teacher Yan, I wasn't planning on leaving anyway. If you're still drunk, go and get some sleep. I'll talk to you about something important when we have dinner tonight."

Upon hearing the words "serious business," An Youyu already guessed what it was, and blushes appeared on her cheeks.

Yan Shiming and Xia Lingrou exchanged a glance. At Xia Lingrou's prompting, Yan Shiming began to subtly probe, "You have something important to say, kid? Don't be ridiculous."

Lin Mo pursed his thin lips. "Teacher Yan, if you want to ask, just ask directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Yan Shiming coughed. "Alright, what's the important matter?"

"It will be kept secret for now."

"..."

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Yan Shiming rolled up his sleeves and said, "Wife, don't stop me! I'm going to beat this kid up today, he's too annoying!"

Sitting across from her husband, Xia Lingrou remained motionless, smiling as she looked at him. "I didn't stop you. Go ahead and beat him up. I don't like him either, so you might as well beat me up too."

Yan Shiming stood there awkwardly, "Why...why didn't you stop me? You should have stopped me at that moment!"

"If you don't stop me, do you think I'd actually beat this kid up?"

Xia Lingrou rolled her eyes in despair, reluctantly got up, walked around the coffee table, pinched her husband's left sleeve with two fingers, and said weakly, "Honey, calm down. Although Lin Mo deserves a beating, he is a guest after all, so we can't lay a hand on him."

Yan Shiming nodded in satisfaction and gave Lin Mo a look that said, "You're lucky, kid. If your master's wife hadn't stopped you today, I would have given you a good beating. Please watch your manner of speaking in the future."

Lin Mo: "..."

I wipe!

You can still play like this, right?

An Youyu was already laughing so hard she could barely breathe, clutching her stomach and curling up in the corner of the sofa. "I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts so much! Please stop making Youyu laugh, okay?"

Xia Lingrou laughed along, "Fish, is it that funny?"

An Youyu nodded vigorously, "Teacher's wife, it's really funny. In my impression, Teacher Yan is a conservative and rigorous person. I didn't expect him to be so funny in private. And you are willing to be funny with him. It's so interesting."

Xia Lingrou shrugged helplessly, "Yu'er, your teacher's wife only has one husband, so of course she has to spoil him."

An Youyu nodded thoughtfully, tilting her head to glance at Lin Mo.

They said nothing, yet they said everything.

Xia Lingrou noticed the girl's little actions and hurriedly advised, "Yu'er, people are different. I am different from you, and Lao Yan and Lin Mo are different too. There are some things you can learn, and some things you can't."

An Youyu earnestly asked, "Teacher's wife, what things can I learn, and what things can't I learn?"

"for example……"

Xia Lingrou pointed at Lin Mo's nose and said without hesitation, "You can't spoil this kid. He's not like Lao Yan. This kid is very shrewd. If you follow my example, you'll probably be fooled by him."

Lin Mo couldn't stand it anymore. "Teacher's wife, I haven't done anything to you, I haven't provoked you; why are you trying to sow discord in front of me?"

Xia Lingrou and Lin Mo exchanged a glance. "The truth is hard to hear."

Lin Mo smirked, "If it doesn't sound good, can you just shut up?"

"No."

Xia Lingrou said matter-of-factly, "Yu'er is now considered my daughter, so of course I have to think about her. I will speak up about anything that is not good for her."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to the bedroom. When she returned to the living room, she had two thick red envelopes in her hands. She handed one to her husband and then stuffed the other red envelope into An Youyu's hand.

An Youyu blinked blankly, "Teacher's wife, what does this mean?"

"A change of address fee."

Xia Lingrou smiled and said, "From now on, you can no longer call me 'Teacher's Wife,' you should call me... Aunt Xia."

When Yan Shiming saw that his wife had brought up this topic, he also stuffed a red envelope into An Youyu's hand, saying, "Girl, I don't care about how you address me, just call me whatever you're comfortable with."

An Youyu looked down at the two red envelopes in her hands, "These red envelopes... are too thick."

The two bulging red envelopes, judging by their thickness alone, contained more than ten thousand yuan.

One is enough, the key is two...

Xia Lingrou tapped the coffee table. "Yu'er, shouldn't your priority at this time be changing how you address someone? Why are you concerned about the thickness of the red envelope?"

An Youyu waved the red envelope in her hand and said weakly, "But these two red envelopes... are really thick."

“Young fish don’t lack money, there’s no need to give such a thick red envelope.”

Xia Lingrou tapped the girl's pert nose. "This is not too much. To tell you the truth, if Lin Mo hadn't notified us so suddenly, Lao Yan and I would have given you two even bigger red envelopes. This morning I went to several supermarkets to choose this one, and even this is still too small for me."

"Can a daughter be adopted for nothing?"

As she spoke, she gave her husband a look.

Yan Shiming immediately understood and slapped his forehead, "Oh right, there are still gifts, I'll go get them."

A minute later, An Youyu looked at the crystal-clear jade bracelet in the box in front of her, her jade lips slightly pouting.

Seeing this, Xia Lingrou's face showed a hint of nervousness. "Yu'er, don't you like this gift?"

It's not that I don't like it.

An Youyu sighed softly, "It's not that I like you spending money, a meal is enough, there's no need to prepare red envelopes or gifts, Aunt Xia."

The last soft "Mother Xia" made Xia Lingrou's heart flutter with joy. "Oh...oh, Yu'er, call me again."

“Mother Xia”.

"Hey...hehe..."

Seeing his wife's expression, Yan Shiming nudged Lin Mo's shoulder and whispered, "Look at your teacher's wife. She said my smile is worthless, but her smile is worth a lot?"

Lin Mo squinted, "Zhang San shouldn't talk about Li Si, Wang Er shouldn't talk about Ma Zi, Teacher Yan, in my opinion, you and your wife are about the same, equally matched, so neither of you should say anything about the other."

"Screw you!"

Yan Shiming chuckled and then interjected, "Girl, I'll say it again, call me whatever makes you comfortable."

After thinking for a moment, An Youyu nodded her chin. "Then I'll still call you Teacher Yan. I've always called you Teacher, and it feels a little strange to suddenly change it. Is that alright?"

Yan Shiming smiled and said, "Of course."

"OK!"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Now that the relationship is confirmed, I don't think we need to wait until dinner tonight to talk about serious matters. We can start now."

Xia Lingrou's eyes gleamed with curiosity. "Lin Mo, what exactly is this important matter?"

"Yes."

Yan Shiming muttered to himself, "Why are you being so mysterious? Just say what you want to say directly."

Lin Mo took An Youyu's hand, stood up from the sofa, and said with a very serious expression, "Teacher Yan, Teacher's wife, Yu'er and I are planning to get engaged soon, so we would like to ask you to represent Yu'er's elders and meet with my family to discuss the final engagement date. Do you have any opinions?"

"got engaged?"

Xia Lingrou's eyes lit up instantly. "No objection. What objection could we possibly have? When are we planning to discuss this?"

“My mother is not home for the time being, probably until near the end of the year, but it’s hard to say.”

Lin Mo explained with a smile, "Anyway, if there are no objections here, I will inform my mother. She is also very concerned about this matter, and I estimate that she will be back in a few days."

Yan Shiming was initially pleasantly surprised, but then his brows gradually furrowed. "Lin Mo, you and An Ya are still young. You'll only be nineteen after the New Year. Isn't it a bit too early to get engaged?"

"Where is it early?"

Xia Lingrou glared at her husband, "Lin Mo and Yu'er have been together for so long, and their relationship is very good. Although Lin Mo is a bit glib at times, he is still a very good person and treats Yu'er very well. Since they have met the right person, what does it matter if it's too early or not?"

Yan Shiming looked annoyed. "Wife, I was just saying it casually. Why are you acting like you've taken a bullet? Besides, I didn't say I disagreed."

Lin Mo smiled politely, "Teacher Yan, the engagement is a joint decision between Xiaoyuer and me. If everything goes smoothly, the engagement will be held after the New Year, and we will get married a year later. At that time, Xiaoyuer and I will be exactly twenty years old."

“We were both born in very early months, so we can get our marriage certificate soon. We’ll have to get it sooner or later anyway, so it’s better to get it sooner rather than later. We’ll feel more at ease once we get it.”

Xia Lingrou was amused by Lin Mo's words, and then nodded in agreement, saying, "It's true that the sooner you marry her, the sooner you'll feel at ease. Putting everything else aside, just Yu'er's face alone has captivated countless men. The sooner you marry Yu'er, the less you'll have to worry about her in the future."

Lin Mo coughed dryly, "Teacher's wife is joking. I am quite confident in myself."

"Oh~~~~"

Xia Lingrou drawled out the last syllable before saying, "In that case, let's postpone the engagement for a while longer. You're confident, aren't you? You're not afraid of anyone taking Yu'er away from you, are you?"

Lin Mo coughed again, "Master's wife must have been hallucinating. What I just said was that I lack self-confidence, which is why I'm thinking of marrying Xiaoyuer as soon as possible."

Xia Lingrou: "..."

Yan Shiming: "..."

When this kid is shameless... he really is shameless!

Chapter 845 You little thing, you're the one who's finished!

In the end, Yan Shiming and Xia Lingrou each rolled their eyes at Lin Mo, and the matter was finally over.

After dinner, Lin Mo didn't stay long and got up to say goodbye.

The gate of the community.

Xia Lingrou said to Lin Mo, "After your mother comes back, remember to contact me as soon as possible and set a date to meet. This way, your engagement with Yu'er can be settled quickly. Don't forget about it. Nothing is more important than this. You must keep it in mind."

Lin Mo smiled and nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Madam. Just as you said, nothing is more important than the engagement. How could I possibly forget something so important?"

With Lin Mo's assurance, Xia Lingrou finally felt relieved and pulled An Youyu aside to whisper to each other.

Seeing this, Lin Mo winked at Yan Shiming, "Teacher, what does your wife mean by this? Why are they whispering to Yu'er? Is she talking badly about me?"

Yan Shiming glanced at his wife and An Youyu not far away, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

Lin Mo: "..."

Noticing the speechless look on Lin Mo's face, Yan Shiming couldn't help but laugh. "Kid, although I don't know what your master's wife and An girl said, I can confirm one thing."

"what's up?"

“Your teacher’s wife is definitely not saying anything bad about you.”

"Oh?"

Seeing Yan Shiming's certainty, Lin Mo looked surprised and asked, "Why are you so sure, teacher?"

"nonsense!"
