Chapter 249: Another One Who Needs Help?

Xu Mo feels numb.

Earlier he was only thinking about helping An Youyi fool her mother.

But he didn't expect that his performance was so good that he overdid it!

As a result, this fake son‑in‑law completely won his real mother‑in‑law's favor…

Huan Qinxue is already anxious to arrange things for the two of them!

Xu Mo isn't the only one who is bewildered.

An Youyi is, too.

She is even more confused!

When the two were chatting earlier, she sat beside them and couldn't get a word in.

She could only watch helplessly as Xu Mo and her mother chatted more and more merrily.

Even when they got to the embarrassing stories from her childhood, she still couldn't interject.

All the time it was Xu Mo talking with her mother, which made it look like the mother‑in‑law was becoming increasingly fond of her son‑in‑law.

At that moment she thought, Xu Mo is really impressive.

He wrapped it up so quickly.

She thought, now Mom won't force her into a blind date for no reason.

However, An Youyi didn't anticipate that…

In just the short time just now.

Xu Mo actually passed her mother's test completely.

He even thought about settling everything for them today!?

Is Xu Mo that aggressive??

Just as Xu Mo and An Youyi were bewildered,

Huan Qinxue beside them was beaming.

She even started pondering the matter of holding a grandchild.

"Let me do the math: you two are now getting your certificate and holding the wedding; if you start trying tonight, with a bit of effort you should be pregnant by the end of the month, ten months… that means by early next year I can be holding a grandchild!"

The thought of holding a grandchild made Huan Qinxue even happier.

Her smile was radiant.

"Give birth to two, a grandson and a granddaughter. But don't worry, I know you young people are busy with careers; the kids don't need you to raise them, I'll take care of them!"

"If this grandson turns out to be outstanding, maybe I'll even see a great‑grandchild… Wait, I'll call Youyi's dad right now to tell him about this!"

Xu Mo: "???"

Not even a single stroke has been written yet!

A great‑grandchild??

He felt a bit regretful.

He wishes he had held back earlier!

But this served as a wake‑up call for Xu Mo.

Next time, he should stop at a reasonable point.

He mustn't overdo it again.

This damn thing is terrifying!

He watched as Huan Qinxue already picked up the phone, ready to call An Youyi's dad about this.

Xu Mo quickly kicked An Youyi's leg from under the table, signaling her to say a few words to stop it.

An Youyi instantly understood.

Without a word, she stood up immediately.

She walked to Huan Qinxue's side and pressed her hand on the phone.

"Oh… Mom, this kind of thing can't be rushed; we don't have any intention to marry right now."

Huan Qinxue instantly became unhappy upon hearing that.

Can't be rushed?

How can it not be rushed?

Good men aren't many; if you don't seize the chance, they'll end up with someone else!

Later, regret will be too late.

"No, how can it not be rushed? This must follow my decision!" Huan Qinxue said resolutely.

"Mom, if you can decide for me, can you also decide for Xu Mo? Before you decide, shouldn't you hear their opinions?" she said, winking at Xu Mo.

Hearing this, Huan Qinxue also looked at Xu Mo.

"Little Xu, what do you think? Tell aunt."

Xu Mo glanced at An Youyi, then turned to Huan Qinxue and said.

"Aunt, my view is the same as Youyi's; marriage isn't urgent, let's wait a bit longer."

Huan Qinxue fell silent.

She looked at Xu Mo, then at her underperforming daughter.

Then she sighed.

Since neither of them currently wants to marry, her anxiety is useless.

"Fine, I won't meddle any more; you two sort it out yourselves."

Hearing this, An Youyi felt relieved, got up and returned to sit beside Xu Mo.

However, as An Youyi walked back to sit beside Xu Mo, Huan Qinxue seemed to have thought of something.

She suddenly asked.

"Little Xu, Youyi, you two… what stage have you reached now?"

The sudden question left both An Youyi and Xu Mo bewildered.

To know, from the beginning until now, the two have been improvising.

Because they never had time to prearrange their lines.

Getting asked out of the blue about what stage they're at… doesn't that just leave them stunned!

The two exchanged a glance.

For a moment, neither knew how to answer the question.

Yet it was in that instant of hesitation…

Huan Qinxue spoke again.

"Little Xu, sit for a while; I'll say something to Youyi. Youyi, come over with Mom."

As she said, she rose from the table and walked straight to the sofa on the other side of the private room and sat down.

An Youyi let out an "oh", stood up, and followed.

On the sofa.

Huan Qinxue lowered her voice and asked.

"Tell me honestly, what stage have you actually reached? Is there…"

An Youyi flinched.

"What should I… what stage am I at?"

Seeing the woman react that way, Huan Qinxue roughly understood.

They've never done anything at all!

Then how could it work?

To know, Huan Qinxue is now very pleased with Xu Mo as her prospective son‑in‑law.

She can't wait for An Youyi and Xu Mo to marry soon.

But the two clearly have no plans to marry in the near future.

As a mother, Huan Qinxue was naturally anxious.

She thought of a way to force them to marry—a marriage due to pregnancy!

The next second, Huan Qinxue, with earnest words, grabbed An Youyi's hand.

"Youyi, you're not a kid anymore; some things don't have to be known only when the boy takes the initiative, you can be proactive too…"

An Youyi: "???"

What kind of wolfish talk is that!

As a result, An Youyi's face instantly flushed red.

At this moment, she even wondered if she was a free bonus for topping up phone credit.

Is this my own mother!?

Who would teach their own daughter like this!

"Mom, this… isn't that wrong!"

"How is it not good?" Huan Qinxue glared, reached out and tapped An Youyi's forehead: "You're not a kid anymore, tighten up, be more careful, understand? If you can't keep an eye on my precious son‑in‑law, see how I'll deal with you!"

An Youyi: "???"

They've only just met for the first time.

And already calling him a precious son‑in‑law!

Is he more precious than her own beloved daughter?

At that moment, Xu Mo's phone rang again.

This time, it was Zhou Qiaoqiao calling.

Seeing An Youyi and her mother still whispering, Xu Mo stepped out of the private room and answered the call.

"Hello, Xu Mo, um… could you do me a favor?"

Xu Mo: "???"

This line…

Sounds so familiar!
