Lin Mo held her on his lap and earnestly advised, "Little Fish, you don't have to measure everything in terms of money. You can't earn all the money in a lifetime. Besides, if you free up your time to do other things, you can create even greater value. How about you change your mindset?"

"Oh."

An Youyu pouted slightly, "I know, but don't hit my head next time, or I'll become stupid."

Lin Mo laughed, "Being clumsy is so cute."

"No."

"No kiss."

"No."

"Alright, since you want to kiss me so badly, I'll reluctantly grant your wish."

"..."

"Shameless!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Time flew by, and two days passed. During these two days, An Youyu really didn't leave the house once. She stayed in her bedroom all day, hunched over her desk, working on the FTSD conjecture. There must have been at least several hundred sheets of draft paper on the desk, not including the previous ones.

Lin Mo was also busy, spending most of his day at Moyu Technology and only returning in the evening. At his insistence, he slept in An Youyu's bedroom for the past two days.

On the morning of January 30th, a sudden ringing of a cell phone woke up Lin Mo and An Youyu, who were still sleeping.

An Youyu sat up groggily. "Brother, whose phone rang?"

"mine."

Lin Mo looked at the caller ID on his phone screen, his expression full of helplessness. "Hello, Mom."

"Xiao Mo, I've arrived at the Capital Airport. I should have arrived last night, but I encountered heavy snow while transferring in Lingxi, which delayed me for several hours."

Upon hearing Lin Shu's voice, An Youyu's lingering sleepiness vanished instantly, and she sweetly asked, "Auntie, shall we come pick you up?"

Hearing the girl's voice, Lin Shu was clearly surprised. "Huh? It's not even seven in the morning yet. Yu'er, why are you with Xiao Mo? You two... you wouldn't be sleeping in the same room, would you?"

An Youyu's smile froze instantly, turning red in a flash. "Auntie, I...I sleepwalked last night, and somehow...I came to Lin Mo's room. No, it was Lin Mo who sleepwalked and came to my room. Yes, that's it."

Her hesitant tone, coupled with her flawed explanation, made it seem as if she was simply admitting that she was lying.

Lin Mo on the left chuckled to himself. Although this little thing had learned to lie, its lying skills were as poor as ever. This kind of lie would probably not even fool an elementary school student, let alone a mother.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Lin Shu on the other end of the phone kept laughing, "Yu'er, why are you so nervous? It's okay to sleep together. You and Xiao Mo are not new to dating. You're about to get engaged. It's fine if you sleep together. Just be careful in that area. If you're not planning to have children anytime soon, you should still take precautions."

An Youyu: "..."

Lin Mo noticed her face flushed red and quickly coughed twice. "Mom, wait for me at the airport. I'll drive to pick you up right away."

"No need to answer. I've notified Xu Huang. You guys go to sleep. Okay, that's all."

"Beep...beep beep..."

Hearing the phone ring and then hang up, Lin Mo's lips twitched a few times. Wait, what's the meaning of calling him so early?

With his mind racing, he quickly deduced the purpose of his mother's call. If he wasn't mistaken, she probably wanted him to arrange a meeting and dinner with Yan Shiming and Xia Lingrou to discuss his engagement date with An Youyu.

most……

Let's arrange it today!

After Lin Mo figured this out, he looked up and saw that An Youyu was still too shy to look up because of what her mother had just said. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Little Yu'er, my mom was just joking. Just pretend you didn't hear it."

"dare you laugh?"

An Youyu reached out and pinched Lin Mo's waist, complaining, "It's all your fault for insisting on sleeping together. Now look what happened, Auntie has misunderstood."

Lin Mo looked innocent. "If you hadn't said anything, none of this would have happened. In the end, I do bear some responsibility for this, but it's not entirely my fault. You also bear some responsibility."

An Youyu: "..."

What does it mean to turn the tables and blame someone else?

Here it is, how infuriating!

After staring at each other for a few minutes, An Youyu was the first to give in. She threw off the covers, got out of bed, and pointed to the door, saying, "Auntie will be home soon. I need to change my clothes. You go back to your room."

Upon hearing the words "change clothes," Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "Little Fish, I don't want to go back to my room. You change, okay? I won't peek."

"no!"

An Youyu firmly refused. She knew Lin Mo too well; she couldn't trust this bad man's words at all. If she didn't peek, then she was looking openly and honestly. She absolutely couldn't give him any opportunity to take advantage of her.

Helpless, Lin Mo returned to his room, changed his clothes, and went to the girl's bedroom door. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. "Little Fish, are you ready?"

"Wait a moment."

After waiting for about five minutes, the bedroom door opened, and An Youyu walked out, her forehead still damp with water droplets. "I'm all ready."

Lin Mo used a tissue to wipe the water droplets from her forehead, and sighed inwardly.

This girl's skin is ridiculously good. She's completely bare-faced, without any makeup. Her natural look, combined with the pure and innocent look in her eyes, is simply irresistible. She's practically every man's dream girl.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Lin Mo's lips.

However, he held this beam of moonlight in his hand...

…………

"Fish, Auntie misses you so much."

At nearly 7:30 in the morning, in the living room on the first floor of the main building, Lin Shu saw An Youyu on the sofa, walked over quickly, and hugged her.

An Youyu smiled softly, "Auntie, Youyu missed you too."

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Lin Mo's smile deepened, and he couldn't help but tease her, "Mom, you and Yu'er have only been separated for a few days? Is it really that big of a deal?"

“One day without seeing you is like three autumns apart.”

As soon as Lin Shu finished speaking, Lin Mo and An Youyu both looked a little strange. These words were exactly the same as what Lin Xue had said two days ago.

Lin Shu pulled An Youyu to sit down, glancing at her son across from her. "Xiao Mo, I'm back now. How about we set a time for dinner with Teacher Yan and Teacher Xia?"

"This afternoon."

"Oh?"

Lin Shu was overjoyed. Meeting her eldest son's wise gaze, she sincerely praised him, "Not bad, you're getting better and better at handling things."

Lin Mo smiled without saying a word.

An Youyu kept her head down the whole time, not daring to interrupt.

She knew very well why her aunt was in such a hurry; it was simply because she wanted to confirm the date of her engagement to Lin Mo as soon as possible.

Lin Shu took the water glass from An Youyu, took a sip, and then took out his phone to dial Lin Xue's number under their watchful eyes.

As soon as the call connected, she immediately asked, "Aren't you home?"

Lin Xue, clearly still half asleep, asked groggily, "Who are you?"

"Your sister!"

"oh oh!"

Lin Xue instantly snapped out of her daze. "Sis, you're back in the capital?"

"Yes, I'm at the manor. Come back now, I need to talk to you."

"But……"

"Come back now, quickly."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shu noticed her son was chuckling and couldn't help but laugh along. "What are you laughing at, kid?"

Lin Mo chuckled and said, "Mom, Sister Xue isn't like this in front of me. There's an old saying that goes, 'Even the wicked have to be dealt with by the wicked.'"

Lin Shu rolled up his sleeves. "You little brat, you're asking for a beating, aren't you? So, I'm a bad guy too?"

Lin Mo chuckled awkwardly, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

Lin Shu was in a good mood and too lazy to argue with her son about such trivial matters. Her mind was now focused on the engagement. "Xiao Mo, have you decided on a place for lunch?"

"Yanyu Tower".

Chapter 853 Why am I having such a hard time with the child today?

"Sis, why are you in such a hurry to call me home?"

Less than half an hour after receiving Lin Shu's call, Lin Xue rushed home from the company. As soon as she entered the main building, she saw the three people on the sofa. She quickly went over and complained as she did so.

In response to Lin Xue's question, Lin Shu rolled her eyes at her, "If I called you back in such a hurry, it must be something important."

Seeing Lin Shu's gaze, Lin Xue instinctively shrank back, her attitude instantly changing 180 degrees. She sat down beside Lin Shu with a smile, taking her hand, and asked, "Sister, what's the big deal?"

Lin Shu didn't beat around the bush, "Go prepare some gifts, make them substantial, and have lunch with me."

"Who are you having dinner with?"

Before Lin Shu could answer, An Youyu spoke up to explain, "Sister Xue, the person I was having dinner with is our senior year homeroom teacher, Mr. Yan Shiming, and his wife, Xia Lingrou."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing the terms "godfather" and "godmother," Lin Xue's eyes flashed with surprise. Then, realizing something, her eyes widened involuntarily. "Sister, does this... mean that the two sets of parents have officially met?"

"Correct."

Lin Shu nodded, "The main purpose of this meal is to confirm the engagement date of Xiao Mo and Yu'er."

Hearing this, Lin Xue's eyes lit up, and she nodded sincerely, saying, "It is indeed a big deal. Okay, I'll go and prepare right away."

After saying that, he got up and left without hesitation.

Lin Mo couldn't help but praise, "Sister Xue's efficient and decisive nature is truly rare."

Lin Shu nodded with a smile, "Your grandparents are much better at raising children than I am, they're definitely better than me."

"That's not quite right."

Lin Mo shook his head and patted his chest. "Mom, the son you raised isn't bad either, okay? Be confident."
