Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Ye Yunshu blushed and buried her head in Chen Mo's neck without saying a word.

The two did everything they should and shouldn't have done on the plane, and all that was missing was taking it to the next level.

After tonight, she will be able to officially complete the task assigned to her by her family.

I felt a mix of anticipation and trepidation.

As night fell, the main room in the courtyard was brightly lit.

The wooden table was laden with steaming home-style dishes: braised pork, stir-fried cured pork with houttuynia cordata, cucumber salad, sour soup vegetables, and a pot of delicious free-range chicken soup. The whole table was piled high with food.

Zhang Xiuying bustled about, shuttling back and forth between the kitchen and the main room, wiping her hands and smiling broadly.

Chen Jianguo sat in the main seat, smoking a cigarette, while Chen Mo sat down next to his father.

On the two chairs opposite them sat Lu Xingyao on one side and Ye Yunshu on the other.

The sight of two girls with different personalities sitting together made the simple farmhouse seem much brighter.

Zhang Xiuying brought the soup to the table last, took off her apron and sat down. She looked the two girls up and down, becoming more and more satisfied with them, before turning to look at Chen Mo.

"Momo, why don't you introduce these two pretty girls to Mom..."

Chen Mo picked up a piece of cured meat, chewed it slowly and swallowed it, speaking casually.

"Oh. Dad, Mom, they're my girlfriends."

It made a snapping sound.

The chopsticks in the mother's hand fell to the ground.

His gaze swept back and forth between Lu Xingyao and Ye Yunshu, glancing to the left and then to the right, repeating this several times before finally settling on his own son.

"Two...two? Both your girlfriends?"

Lu Xingyao's cheeks were as red as the braised pork on the table. She buried her head and poked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks.

Ye Yunshu's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't lower her head to hide; instead, she secretly clenched her skirt under the table.

Chen Mo remained expressionless and picked up another piece of houttuynia cordata with his chopsticks.

"I told my dad last time I went home that I'd bring a few more next time I come back. I'm a man of my word, I always keep my promises."

Chen Jianguo's face stiffened.

Zhang Xiuying paused for a few seconds before picking up her chopsticks, wiping them clean with a paper towel, and forcing a smile.

"You child, how can you be so careless about such an important matter?"

Chen Jianguo remained silent throughout.

Chen Mo looked up at his father.

"Dad, just say what you have to say, don't hold it in."

Chen Jianguo then picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

"You little brat, looking for a beating?! I thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to actually do it!"

Zhang Xiuying immediately glared at her husband, then turned around and put on a warm smile, greeting the two girls repeatedly.

"Come on, Xingyao, Yunshu, don't be shy, eat your food, make yourself at home!"

Before they had finished eating, Lu Xingyao stood up first, took out two beautifully packaged high-end skincare products from her bag, and handed them to Zhang Xiuying with both hands.

"Auntie, since this is your first time visiting, I specially picked out two sets of skincare products for you. Please try them out, and if they work well, I'll bring you more next time."

Zhang Xiuying took it with both hands, her face beaming with joy.

"Oh dear, you child, you didn't even need to bring a gift. It must be very expensive."

Lu Xingyao smiled even more sweetly.

"It's not expensive, as long as you like it, Auntie."

Ye Yunshu, who was standing to the side, saw this and spoke softly.

"Auntie, I've also prepared a small gift for you and Uncle."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the main room. A short while later, he came back carrying two heavy, high-end gift boxes. The boxes were of high quality and looked very valuable.

She handed it to Zhang Xiuying with both hands.

"This contains bird's nest and calcium supplements. You and your uncle should eat more of this to nourish your bodies and boost your energy."

Zhang Xiuying took the gift box; it felt quite heavy in her hand.

"You're too kind, child! You brought so many things when you came to our house last time, and you've gone to so much trouble this time. You really don't need to bring so much."

"Of course."

Ye Yunshu responded softly, her demeanor dignified and poised.

Next, Lu Xingyao and Ye Yunshu kept serving food to Chen Mo's parents.

Zhang Xiuying watched this scene and sighed softly, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

"From now on, you can come to our house often. Just make yourself at home and don't feel uncomfortable."

Chen Jianguo, who had been focused on eating and maintained a calm demeanor throughout, also picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp.

After dinner, both girls rushed to clean up the dishes and wipe the table, showing exceptional diligence and thoughtfulness.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuying quietly pulled Chen Mo into the kitchen and closed the wooden door behind her.

The kitchen faucet was dripping, and the smell of cooking had not yet dissipated.

Zhang Xiuying stood in front of the stove, rubbing her hands back and forth on her apron. After hesitating for a long time, she slowly spoke.

"Mo Mo, Mom has something on her mind to say to you."

"Xingyao is a lively girl with a sweet tongue and a warm personality. Her eyes are full of affection for you. She's a good girl."

"Yun Shu is steady, sensible, knows her place, and is well-mannered. I could tell from her last visit to our home for medical treatment that she is a reliable and dependable girl."

Chen Mo smiled smugly.

"Mom, what do you think of the girlfriend I picked?"

The mother looked up at Chen Mo intently, her eyes filled with conflict.

"Both girls are good in every way, but Mom really doesn't know how to choose."

"Then I'll choose neither, I'll have both."

Chen Mo spread his hands.

Zhang Xiuying slapped Chen Mo on the back.

"You brat, how can you act like this?"

She paused, then softened her voice.

"Your dad didn't say a word at the dinner table, but don't think he didn't care. After dinner, I saw him sitting on the doorstep smoking for a long time without saying a word. He's just worried that you're young and naive, and that you'll end up hurting those two good girls."

"Don't worry, Mom. I treat them all very well."

Zhang Xiuying reached out and took Chen Mo's hand, gently patting the back of his hand.

"Son, you've grown up and become very capable. Mom doesn't understand the things you do outside, and I can't control you."

"The fact that you were able to bring two such outstanding girls home shows that you have the ability and your reasons. It's your life, you can make your own decisions."

"But Mom only has one request,"

She stared into Chen Mo's eyes and gave him her instructions, word by word.

"Don't let them down, don't let either of them down. People are all made of flesh and blood. These girls are sincerely following you and trusting you, you can't let them down."

Chen Mo listened quietly, without saying anything more, and simply nodded.

"I know."

Zhang Xiuying let go of his hand, turned around, and started washing the pot in the sink.

"Go on, your dad has been waiting for you outside for ages."

Chen Mo pushed open the kitchen door and went out, just taking out a cigarette and lighting it.

There was a loud slap on the back of my head.

Chen Jianguo exhaled a puff of smoke.

"You brat, come out with me."

Night enveloped the entire mountain village, and the country lanes were pitch black, with only a few streetlights at the village entrance casting a dim, yellowish glow to illuminate the cement road beneath our feet.

Chen Jianguo walked at the front with his hands behind his back, his steps slow, his back slightly hunched, looking particularly weathered.

Chen Mo stubbed out the cigarette he had just lit and silently followed behind him.

The father and son walked in silence for several dozen meters.

Chen Jianguo stopped, turned around, and looked at him with a deep gaze.

"Last time you said you were going to bring a few more girlfriends home, I thought you were just bragging or joking. I didn't expect you to be serious."

Chen Mo spoke calmly.

"I never joke about this kind of thing."

"What about after you get married?"

Chen Jianguo frowned.

"If both girls were to come with you, which one would you marry?"

Chen Mo did not answer immediately.

Chen Jianguo stopped asking questions, squatted on the curb by the roadside, skillfully took out the tobacco pouch from his pocket, and slowly rubbed the tobacco leaves with his head down.

Chen Mo also squatted down.

Under the dim streetlights, the father and son squatted side by side by the roadside, just like countless ordinary rural fathers and sons.

Chen Jianguo rubbed the tobacco leaves together, put them into the pipe, lit it, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke before speaking in a low voice.

"Now that you're successful and making a lot of money, I won't ask how much you've earned. But two girls who truly love you are with you, and you have to give them an explanation. You can't let anyone down."

Chen Mo looked at his father and spoke frankly.

"Dad, that's why I don't plan to get married."

Chen Jianguo paused in his work and looked at his son.

"Dating is fine, living together is fine, even having and raising children is no problem."

"Marriage is the only exception; it's impossible."

"To tell you the truth, I've made a lot of money outside."

"How many?"

"So much that our whole family could never spend it all in this lifetime, the next, and the life after that."

Chen Mo spoke frankly, without any attempt to conceal his true intentions.

"Think about it, once we get married, if we break up and divorce later, according to the law, the other party will directly take half of my money."

P.S.: Why did it go up after I sold all my shares at a loss?! Why?! Can anyone tell me?!
