My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Shu chuckled, "Your success today has little to do with me. It's mainly because you're outstanding. I can brag about you as my son all the time, but we have to face the facts. I'm really not good at raising children."

Upon hearing this, An Youyu covered her mouth, lowered her head, and secretly chuckled.

Lin Shu couldn't help but laugh along. "Yu'er, can you at least consider my feelings? It's okay to giggle, but can you not make it so obvious?"

It would have been better if she hadn't said that, because as soon as she did, An Youyu smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. "Auntie, Youyu isn't laughing at you, but I think the way you and Lin Mo get along is really nice. Although you're a bit eccentric sometimes, this way of getting along is really warm and friendly. You don't act like an elder at all, it's just like..."

"Like what?"

"They seem more like siblings than mother and son, and their occasional bickering and pranks are very heartwarming."

Hearing the girl's description, Lin Shu's smile deepened, and she clicked her tongue and said, "It seems to be true. However, this is also based on personal character. I am a bit unconventional. I've been like this since I was a child, and it's hard to change when I grow up."

"This is fine, no need to change it."

An Youyu shook her head slightly, "By the way, Auntie, should we inform Grandma about lunch? Lin Mo and I haven't told her about it yet."

Lin Shu laughed and pinched the girl's cheek. "I knew you and Xiao Mo hadn't told her. I called her on the way home from the airport. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be in the fitting room picking out clothes right now."

"Let me tell you, the biggest obstacle for your grandma every time she goes out is choosing what to wear. What's more, today's occasion is so important. It's only a little past eight in the morning, not even ten o'clock yet, so she can't decide which outfit to wear at all. Don't let her age fool you, she's still very vain."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice came from the stairwell.

"Who said that?"

Xu Yanshu glared at her eldest daughter and walked over slowly. "Xiao Shu, you think you're all grown up now? You dare to slander me in front of Xiao Mo and Yu'er. Do you really think your mother won't dare to beat you up?"

Lin Shu chuckled awkwardly, "Mom, I was just joking, why did you take it so seriously? The children are here, don't keep threatening to beat me. I'm still a mother myself, can't you give me some face?"

"face?"

Xu Yanshu laughed in anger, "You brat, how dare you say such a thing? Did you even give me any face? What do you mean by 'vain'? This is called being mindful of your image. If you can't speak properly, you can just stay silent!"

An Youyu stood up and stepped forward to support Xu Yanshu's arm, gently saying, "Grandma, Auntie didn't mean it that way, please don't be angry."

As soon as she spoke, Xu Yanshu's expression softened immediately. She smiled and patted her hand, "Alright, since Yu'er has pleaded for her, then Grandma won't hold it against you."

After saying that, she glanced at her eldest daughter and said, "I'll let you off this time for the sake of Yu'er, but if I ever hear you secretly slandering me again, I won't let you off the hook."

Lin Shu secretly pursed her lips, moved aside to make room for her mother, and only after her mother sat down did she look at her mother's outfit today, a hint of surprise in her eyes, "Mom, is this all you're wearing? Isn't it a bit too casual?"

"No hurries?"

Xu Yanshu stroked An Youyu's hand and said, "I started preparing clothes when Xiao Mo first brought Yu'er home. We're not leaving yet, so I'll change before we go, otherwise they'll get wrinkled."

These words fully demonstrate how much she values ​​An Youyu.

An Youyu felt a warmth in her heart. "Grandma, there's no need to be too formal. It's just a regular meal."

"Sigh, we have to be formal."

Xu Yanshu smiled and shook her head, "Yu'er, Grandma only has Xiao Mo as her grandson, you marry him..."

An Youyu blushed and reminded her, "Grandma, it's an engagement, not a wedding."

"cough--"

Xu Yanshu smiled broadly, "Pretty much, pretty much the same, right? After the engagement, we'll get married, won't we?"

An Youyu lowered her head shyly and didn't say anything more.

Xu Yanshu looked at her eldest daughter on the left and took out a folded red paper from her pocket. "Prepare the gifts according to Plan One. We'll use them today. Plans Two and Three also need to be prepared. Plan Two is for the engagement, and Plan Three is for the wedding. Some gifts need time to be crafted, so prepare them in advance, understand?"

Lin Shu took the paper, glanced at it, and secretly clicked her tongue. The red paper was covered with densely packed gift names. The first gift list was alright, but the second and third gift lists had so many gifts that it was dazzling. "Mom, thank you for your hard work. You are so thoughtful. I've been too busy lately and didn't think that far ahead."

"What's so hard about it? This old woman is overjoyed!"

Xu Yanshu's smile was full of affection. "You're not familiar with many of the etiquette rules, so it's more appropriate for me to handle this. This kind of thing can't be taken lightly. It has to show the Lin family's sincerity and our respect and love for Yu'er. We must prepare it carefully, understand?"

"Mom, you can rest assured that I will handle things well."

Lin Shu smiled and got up. After responding, she walked outside to find Lin Xue.

Xu Yanshu looked at her grandson, then at her future granddaughter-in-law beside her, and smiled from ear to ear. "It's so nice to see you two. I'm really looking forward to it."

Seeing her grandmother so happy, Lin Mo smiled and asked, "What is Grandma looking forward to?"

"Looking forward to your children."

Xu Yanshu praised, "You and Yu'er are so good-looking, your child will definitely be beautiful. Tsk, you are both highly intelligent people, which directly maxed out the bloodline level of our Lin family. God has been kind to me. In my old age, he still gave me such a great gift."

As the conversation drifted to the topic of children, An Youyu's already flushed face turned even redder, and she weakly said, "Grandma, this is just about discussing the engagement date, having children... isn't that a bit too far off?"

"Not far, not far."

Xu Yanshu laughed, "After the engagement, is marriage far away? Marriage is not far away, and neither is having a child. Yu'er, to tell you the truth, I've already picked out a name for the child. Now it's just a matter of when you and Xiao Mo will have the baby."

Hearing these words made An Youyu's face burn with embarrassment, so much so that even her toes curled up inside her snow-white socks.

Making children...

Today was supposed to be a formal meeting with both sets of parents, and to set the engagement date, so why are you making things difficult for the child?

Lin Mo knew very well how thin-skinned An Youyu was, so she quickly spoke up to defuse the situation, "Grandma, when will Grandpa be back?"

"Your maternal grandfather probably won't be back for a while. He needs to take charge of the Ancient Martial Arts Competition."

At this point, Xu Yanshu smiled apologetically at An Youyu, "Yu'er, Grandma wants to apologize to you. It's not that your grandfather doesn't care about you because he can't come back. The Ancient Martial Arts Competition is very important. On a large scale, it concerns the subsequent resource competition among the nations. On a smaller scale, it determines the subsequent power division within the country. The Elder Council is keeping a close eye on the Ancient Martial Arts Competition. Your grandfather really can't get away."

"Grandma doesn't need an explanation."

An Youyu smiled sweetly, "It's not a big deal, it's just an engagement, there's no need to make a big deal out of it."

Xu Yanshu shook her head and corrected, "How can it not be a big deal? This is a huge deal for our Lin family. I called your grandfather before I went downstairs. He asked me to apologize to you on his behalf. He said that after he finishes the Ancient Martial Arts Competition, he will definitely prepare a gift for you as an apology for his absence."

"It's really not necessary..."

"Don't say no."

An Youyu parted her lips slightly, "Well... okay, thank you Grandma, and thank you Grandpa too. Youyu isn't really suited for this, I'm really flattered."

Xu Yanshu smiled broadly, "That's right, Yu'er. You need to be more confident. You are excellent. It's Xiao Mo's good fortune to find a girl like you. You deserve the best. Grandma is worried that she won't do enough."

Lin Mo didn't interrupt, sitting quietly to the side as a listener. This moment was truly wonderful and blissful for him.

Time flew by, and it was past 11 a.m.

Outside the Misty Rain Pavilion.

Li Qingqing stood outside the door, flanked by a row of attractive female waitresses. When she saw the car approaching in the distance, her eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward after the car stopped.

"Li Qingqing greets Madam Lin."

Xu Yanshu smiled and looked Li Qingqing up and down. "Li family girl, I've heard so much about you."

Li Qingqing's expression became even more respectful. "Madam Lin, you flatter me. I am merely a figurehead."

"A hollow title? The only seventh-rank Grand Scholar in the Literary Hall, is this also a hollow title?"

Xu Yanshu smiled and said, "It is indeed a good thing for young people to be humble, but they should not be too humble. You are like this, and so are Xiao Mo and Yu'er. Young people should be more spirited. It is not good to be more composed than us old people all the time."

Lin Mo and An Youyu, who were standing behind Xu Yanshu, exchanged a glance.

An Youyu pointed to her nose and used lip reading to indicate to Lin Mo that it had nothing to do with her.

This action made Lin Mo secretly roll her eyes. This little thing always says that she is very ordinary, but how is she ordinary from head to toe?

It has nothing to do with her now...

Li Qingqing smiled politely without offering any explanation, "Madam Lin, please."

Xu Yanshu smiled and shook her head, "No, let's stand at the door for a while and wait for Yu'er's godparents to arrive before going in together."

Li Qingqing nodded with a smile, then greeted Lin Shu and Lin Xue one after the other before finally walking up to Lin Mo and An Youyu. Young people don't have so many formalities when they get along, so she changed her previous demeanor and winked at the two of them.

"You two are getting better and better looking! You're both so good-looking, your kids will be so adorable! How about you ask me to be your godmother when you have children?"

An Youyu: "..."

Why am I having such a hard time with my child today?

Chapter 854 Everyone is trash compared to me

"can."

Lin Mo readily agreed, his smile exceptionally warm.

Li Qingqing was, after all, the only seventh-rank Grand Scholar in the Xia Kingdom. Who wouldn't have any reason to refuse having such a powerful godmother for their child?

The words had barely left his mouth when Lin Mo felt his foot being stepped on. The next second, he heard An Youyu's low, reproachful voice, "What do you mean, 'can't'? We haven't even finalized our engagement yet, and you've already promised to have a child?"

Her tone was full of resentment and shame.

Lin Mo grinned and leaned down to whisper in An Youyu's ear, "Little Yu'er, we're not at a disadvantage in this matter. Others would love to have a godmother like Sister Qing. Since she's so enthusiastic, why should we refuse? Although we don't have children yet, we'll have them sooner or later."

"Furthermore, Sister Qing announced that Yanyu Tower would be closed today just for this lunch. I guess she won't charge us for the meal. We owe her such a big favor, so we can't refuse her request. Of course, if you disagree, you can refuse Sister Qing directly. Anyway, I can't refuse."

"you……"

Hearing Lin Mo's explanation, An Youyu was dumbfounded.

If Lin Mo couldn't refuse, then she could?

If she and Lin Mo really have a child in the future, it would be a good thing to recognize Li Qingqing as the godmother. But the key is that she and Lin Mo have only just met each other's parents. It's really too early to talk about having a child. In addition, she is shy, which is why she is like this.

But she simply couldn't bring herself to refuse Li Qingqing...

Although the two spoke softly, Li Qingqing was close enough that after hearing Lin Mo's words, her gaze fell on An Youyu's face. "Little sister, you can't be so heartless. Just give your older sister a godmother position. Don't worry, after the baby is born, I will definitely prepare a big gift for the child. I will definitely not be a godmother for nothing."

An Youyu: "..."

Having said all that, what else could she say?

Under Li Qingqing's expectant gaze, An Youyu blushed and nodded gently.

Seeing this, Li Qingqing smiled and said, "OK! It's settled then, no backing out."

Xu Yanshu, who was not far away, watched this scene. Seeing the three chatting and laughing, she turned her head and glanced at her youngest daughter, Lin Xue, behind her.

Noticing her mother's gaze, Lin Xue tensed up instantly, straightened her posture, and asked cautiously, "Mom, I haven't done anything wrong, have I?"

"He committed the offense."

"..."

Lin Xue's expression was extremely interesting, and she blinked rapidly at Lin Shu.
