Yun Mingyue supported herself on Zhou You's chest and separated from him. Perhaps it was because she had two more training partners, but lately she had become increasingly unable to perfectly suppress Zhou You.

No matter how talented the fairy was, she couldn't overcome his ability to make up for his lack of talent through hard work; the early bird catches the worm.

“There’s something even worse…”

"Alright, alright, your mother is still waiting for us to come upstairs."

Normally, Yun Mingyue might go crazy with Zhou You, or even seduce him and ask him if he wanted to be in the car with her, but now is not the time to be inseparable from Zhou You.

Upon hearing her say that, Zhou You also remembered the important matter, "I almost forgot about the important matter."

He let Yun Mingyue get out of the car first, then followed her out. He took out the gifts Yun Mingyue had prepared from the trunk, carrying several bags in his left hand and several in his right, and quickly followed Yun Mingyue, who had already turned and was walking home.

The two walked quickly and soon arrived at Zhou You's doorstep.

"Where's the key?" Yun Mingyue stopped at the door.

"The key is in my pocket." Zhou You held up the gift with both hands, gesturing for her to take it.

Left pocket or right pocket?

Yun Mingyue stepped over and gently patted Zhou You's pockets a few times, hearing a crisp clinking sound. "Here it is."

"The middle key." He had three keys hanging on his keychain.

"Okay." Yun Mingyue opened the door a crack and came back, reaching out to take the gifts Zhou You was carrying. "Give me a few."

"What are you doing? I can carry it." Zhou You, who didn't understand Yun Mingyue's meaning at all, dodged away. "Hurry up and go inside."

Yun Mingyue, however, reached out and forcibly snatched several bags, saying, "It's not good for me to go in empty-handed."

"Hmm...that makes sense." Zhou You blinked; Yun Mingyue's thinking was more thoughtful.

He carried the gifts and followed Yun Mingyue inside. Xiao Yan was tinkering in the bedroom when she heard the noise and ran out, immediately spotting Yun Mingyue.

"Mingyue, you've arrived! Why did you bring so many gifts? You're too kind." Xiao Yan hurriedly came forward to greet her and tried to take the gifts from Yun Mingyue's hands.

As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at her son, "How could you let your girlfriend carry such heavy things?"

"I'm fine, you don't need to trouble yourself."

Yun Mingyue stepped aside and placed the gifts on the coffee table. "It's from my younger brother... You said you two have been working hard lately and wanted to buy you some nice things to nourish you."

"Really?" Xiao Yan turned to look at Zhou You. Her son had become more and more filial since he went to university. Not bad, not bad.

Zhou You silently took the blame for this not-so-unfair situation.

After putting everything down, Xiao Yan cheerfully turned to go into the kitchen, saying, "You guys chat for a while, wait for his other girlfriends to arrive..."

She paused for a moment, glanced at Yun Mingyue who looked perfectly normal, and sighed inwardly, wondering how her son had managed to get them to be so harmonious.

If Zhou You knew what his mother was thinking, he would probably be rubbing his back and sighing.

You probably haven't seen how fierce these older women are when they're fighting over men. Several times, he almost lost his life.

"...I'll cook the rice first."

"You rest, I'll cook the meal." Yun Mingyue quickly followed Xiao Yan forward.

"That won't do! You can't do that." Xiao Yan naturally refused. "Listen to me, you guys go and have fun."

"I'm not an outsider, it's okay."

The two were exchanging pleasantries, and it seemed they were going to be polite for a while.

Knock knock knock~~

A knock came from the entrance hall.

"I'll go open the door." Zhou You, acting on his own initiative, happily ran to the door and opened it.

Ning Moxin, dressed exquisitely today, stood outside carrying a gift. Seeing him open the door, she smiled slightly at him and stepped across the threshold.

"Sister Mo."

Good afternoon, Xiaoyou.

Ning Moxin bent down, took off her shoes, put on the slippers Zhou You handed her, greeted him, and then quickly walked to Xiao Yan's side and took her hand.

Her smile was exceptionally sweet.

"You've become even more beautiful since I last saw you."

364. Your house is the most exciting!

"Oh, Mo Xin, you're too kind. I'm not as pretty as you guys," Xiao Yan quickly waved her hand.

“We’re no match for you, Mom, you’re too kind,” Ning Moxin said without batting an eye.

"What Mo Xin said is true."

As Xiao Yan said this, her smile suddenly brightened. What woman doesn't like being complimented on her beauty?

In particular, she praised that the person in question was not only a great beauty but also the principal of a prestigious school.

She was being polite, but she was secretly overjoyed.

Xiao Yan, who was originally exchanging feelings with Yun Mingyue, suddenly found her attention involuntarily shifting to Ning Moxin.

Just like in a large family, the child that parents like the most, besides the one with the best grades, is often the one who knows how to make them happy.

People who are sweet-talking are indeed more likable.

Yun Mingyue naturally noticed this as well. She narrowed her eyes slightly, not expecting Ning Moxin to play this trick on her.

But if you're suggesting she retaliate, with Xiao Yan here, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to engage in verbal sparring with Ning Moxin like before. The best approach would be for her to 'learn' from Ning Moxin how to say some nice things.

However, from childhood to adulthood, she has always been the one being flattered, never the one flattering others; praising people has truly been her weakness.

Yun Mingyue could only manage a forced smile as she stood to the side, occasionally offering a few words of agreement. This time, she had lost to Ning Moxin.

"Oh, right, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you." As they chatted, Ning Moxin seemed to remember something.

"Mo Xin, just say it." Xiao Yan, who was very happy with Ning Mo Xin's almost non-repeating praise, quickly agreed.

"It's like this..."

Ning Moxin glanced at Zhou You, then at Yun Mingyue, and said, "We've discussed buying a house and moving in together. Do you think this is a good idea for us?"

"Buy a house? Live together?" Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback.

Yun Mingyue frowned slightly, somewhat surprised that Ning Moxin would bring up this matter to Xiao Yan at this time.

Is Ning Moxin planning to use Xiao Yan's 'power' to pressure her, making it impossible for her to continue making excuses like this?

"Yes, you know our situation is complicated, so we want to move in together sooner to get used to life in a big family."

"Um……"

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, and said while thinking, "Mo Xin, what you said makes sense. I understand that if you have a good relationship, you will want to be together all the time, so I don't object to you living together."

She paused, then added, "But isn't this a bit unfair? My son has already taken such a good deal from you, and now you're making him buy a house? I know you probably don't care about the money, but..."

“Mom, who said we paid for Xiaoyou’s house?” Ning Moxin interrupted. “Xiaoyou is rich now. Buying a house is a piece of cake for him.”

Even if Zhou You didn't have the currently booming Douyin, buying a house wouldn't be difficult for him; it would just take a few more years.

"Rich?" Xiao Yan was even more surprised.

"Mom, don't you know?"

"Know what?"

"It's a long story, Xiao You..." Ning Moxin explained in detail to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan, as a mother, was naturally very concerned about her son's work situation.

As the two talked, they neglected Zhou You and Yun Mingyue.

Zhou You grasped Yun Mingyue's delicate, white hand, whose expression was constantly changing, and squeezed it.

He lowered his voice, "Sister Hua, if you really don't want to live with everyone, I'll help you refuse."

Yun Mingyue glanced at Zhou You sideways, "Little brother, are you using a feigned retreat as a tactic to advance?"

Zhou You quickly shook his head, "No, I absolutely did not mean that."

"uh-huh."

Yun Mingyue gave a noncommittal hum, but before she could respond, she did so.

On Xiao Yan's side, after listening to Ning Moxin talk a lot about Zhou You and gaining a general understanding of Zhou You's recent situation, she turned to look at her son.

"So you were the one who created that Douyin (TikTok)? And you didn't even tell your mother?"

"I just thought it wasn't a big deal."

“How can it not be a big deal?” Xiao Yan glared at him. “Your dad and I recently opened an account on Douyin to promote it. Since you’re the official account, you can give us a boost.”

"Well……"

"Is that not allowed?"

“Of course,” Yun Mingyue replied. “Just tell me your account number and I’ll arrange it when I get back.”

"Ah! Mingyue, you're the only one I can rely on." Xiao Yan's face lit up with joy instantly.

She looked at Ning Moxin on the left and Yun Mingyue on the right. She liked all her daughters-in-law no matter how she looked at them. No wonder her son couldn't bear to part with them.

If it were her, she wouldn't be able to bear it either.

Regarding the matter of 'living together', Xiao Yan concluded by saying, "It's fine for you to live together, but please be careful."

"Mom..."*2 The two older sisters spoke at the same time.

Ding-a-ling~~ Ding-a-ling~~

A cell phone suddenly rang in the master bedroom, interrupting their conversation.

"I'll go answer this phone first."

"Yes, you may go."

Xiao Yan hurriedly went into the bedroom, and after a while, she came out with her phone.

"My god-sister seems to have something urgent to discuss with me, so I have to go out for a bit. You three..."

"You're here with me, so don't worry," Yun Mingyue said.
