Chapter 186: I Will Do My Best

After finishing dinner, Mu Youyu stayed in the living room for not long before returning to her room.

After she finished tidying up, the person marked as 【Yu Ling】 sent a message: 【Great god, great god, are you really coming tomorrow morning?】

They had added each other back at the Lin Tingsong forum the last time.

Mu Youyu typed back: 【I already told you, how could it be fake?】

Moreover, Yu Ling's uncle, that is, Professor Yu's side, had everything ready.

As soon as the message was sent, Yu Ling's reply popped up immediately, full of excitement: 【Ahhhhh, that's great! I'll come to your school early tomorrow to pick you up, and we'll go together!】

Mu Youyu thought about the route and replied: 【No need, I'll just go directly from home.】

The distance from the Mu family to C University isn't far; driving normally takes about half an hour.

But if Yu Ling were to come to Lan Lin, the route would be completely opposite to that of C University, and taking a detour to pick her up would cost at least fifty minutes.

Yu Ling's side seemed still somewhat reluctant, replying with a hint of regret: 【Alright then, great god decides!!!! We'll meet at C University tomorrow, thanks for the trouble, great god～】

Mu Youyu chatted briefly with Yu Ling a few more times, then closed the topic, opened the small game interface shared with Jiang Liangjin, and the two teamed up to start playing, familiar with each other.

They had been playing this small game continuously for nearly four months, gradually clearing stages, and now they had finally reached level 29!

This level was specially designed by Mu Xi according to their progress in clearing stages.

Jiang Family.

Jiang Liangjin hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he stayed on the living room sofa playing the game, with game sounds coming through his headphones, occasionally speaking.

Shen Ningmu heard her son's gentle voice from afar and came downstairs.

She poked her head to look at Jiang Liangjin's phone screen, smiling as she said: "Son, are you playing with A You?"

Upon hearing that, Jiang Liangjin's motion paused; he raised his hand to take off the headset on his head and, incidentally, turned off the Bluetooth.

From the phone came Mu Youyu's clear, sweet voice, with a touch of obedience: "Aunt Shen, hello!"

Upon hearing Mu Youyu's voice, Shen Ningmu instantly burst into a smile: "Eh, it's A You, so obedient! Has A You eaten dinner yet?"

"I've eaten, I've eaten, finished long ago; Aunt Shen, have you eaten?" Mu Youyu's voice came through the phone, soft and especially pleasant.

Shen Ningmu walked to the sofa and replied with a smile: "Not yet; your Uncle Jiang is still busy at the office, will be back later, and we'll eat together when he returns."

The two still wanted to chat a bit more, but Jiang Liangjin lifted his eyes to Shen Ningmu, giving her a look to indicate she shouldn't talk too long, lest it delay his time with Youbao.

Shen Ningmu immediately understood her son's meaning, her eyes lighting up: "A You, Auntie hasn't had a good chat with you in ages; when are you free to come to the Jiang family for a visit?"

Jiang Liangjin originally wanted Shen Ningmu not to disturb their game so he could play on his own.

But he didn't say anything more, merely lowering the phone volume silently.

In the game just now, Mu Youyu's controlled character failed to notice the trap, and the screen flashed to show the character had been taken out.

She exclaimed "Eh!" and replied into the phone: "Aunt Shen, we just saw each other these past two days, didn't we?"

Shen Ningmu laughed as she sat down beside Jiang Liangjin: "That's different; those two days were those two days, not today nor tomorrow!"

Jiang Liangjin turned his head to glance at Shen Ningmu, said nothing, and merely controlled his game character to stop in front of Mu Youyu's.

Waiting for her to respawn, he then slowly continued to move forward.

Listening to Shen Ningmu's words, Mu Youyu replied gently: "Then I'll come over after school the day after tomorrow; I also really want to see Aunt Shen!"

Upon hearing that, Shen Ningmu became even happier, turned her head to look at Jiang Liangjin beside her, and asked into the phone: "Eh, that's great; why not tomorrow? It would be wonderful if you came tomorrow, Auntie could even keep you for dinner!"

Mu Youyu patiently explained: "Tomorrow I have to go to C University with A Jin; in the evening my brothers will all be coming home, we need to eat together, I can't spare the time, but the day after tomorrow I'll be free."

Shen Ningmu replied softly with a few words.

Not long after, Jiang Su returned; Jiang Liangjin and Mu Youyu said something, then put down their phones and went to eat.

Shen Ningmu watched the two end their conversation, sighing repeatedly, her face full of disappointment.

Jiang Su changed his shoes and walked over; seeing this, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, wife? Why are you sighing for no reason?"

Shen Ningmu let out another "eh," her gaze sweeping over the empty living room, her tone tinged with regret: "Look at our family, how desolate!"

If A You came often, it would surely be livelier.

Jiang Su raised his eyebrows in disbelief, glanced at the silent Jiang Liangjin, then at Shen Ningmu, and exclaimed: "What?! Isn't this family quite nice? How did it become so desolate?"

Shen Ningmu pointed at the house, her tone earnest: "One, two, three! There are just the three of us in this house, utterly lonely—where isn't it lonely?"

The butler, maid, and other servants nearby, who had been working silently, all stopped their movements upon hearing this, looking at each other.

For a moment, not knowing what to say, they could only remain silent.

Oh well, whatever the mistress says goes.

Jiang Liangjin sat aside silently, clearly understanding Shen Ningmu's thoughts.

Shen Ningmu then turned to him, her tone urging: "A Jin, act a little faster; we don't care about early romance or not—if you like her, just seize the opportunity!"

Although Song LuXiao's side has stopped speaking ill of Jiang Liangjin, that doesn't mean the other brothers approve of him!

Nor can we be certain whether A You has him in her heart.

Jiang Liangjin glanced at her and said slowly: "I'll do my best."

Shen Ningmu looked at his unhurried demeanor, feeling somewhat helpless: "Can you actually do it?"

Jiang Liangjin met her gaze: "I can."

He had confidence that the Mu and Song family people later on, out of respect for Youbao's face, would not make things too difficult for him.

In the future he will also make sure everyone is satisfied and will properly protect her.

Jiang Su glanced at his wife and child, couldn't help but chuckle, and tugged at Shen Ningmu's arm: "It's fine, wife; let A Jin take his time—feelings can't be rushed, just let things take their natural course."

Shen Ningmu gave him a glare: "I want him to come quickly; I've long wanted to see A You every day."

Jiang Su had nothing to say.

Jiang Liangjin nodded, indicating he understood.
