Chapter 819 836: Visiting the An Family as a Guest
"Hey, girl, I'm right here!" Lin Mu opened the car door and stepped out, waving at An Qi'Er. To be able to pick up the school's top beauty goddess at the school gate was definitely a moment of pride and glory, it felt so impressive!"Brother Lin, when did you get here?" An Qi'Er seemed to be in a good mood, she asked with a smile.
"I just arrived too. So, how do I look? Going to meet the mother-in-law, my outfit for today looks pretty good, right?" Lin Mu straightened his back and gestured, saying. Today, Lin Mu had specially gone home to change into his Lomon Suit, reserved for matchmaking events; on the first visit, he naturally had to leave a good impression on the future in-laws!
Though Lin Mu usually dressed casually in ripped jeans, he made an exception today by wearing a suit, but indeed he looked quite dashing! At least Lin Mu felt good about himself!
"Hmm, not bad!" An Qi'Er replied softly, her face involuntarily turning red. He spoke unintentionally, but she took it to heart—Lin Mu just mentioned the word 'mother-in-law,' when she merely asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend, yet the term 'mother-in-law' rolled off his tongue so smoothly!
"Girl, why is your face red?" Lin Mu had a clueless expression.
"Uh... nothing," An Qi'Er touched her face, trying to hide it. Her face was as hot as a red apple hanging from a tree in autumn, so red it seemed fully ripe.
"Uh... okay then, let's get in the car first!" Lin Mu said.
"Okay," An Qi'Er nodded and got into the car.
Lin Mu didn't drive directly to An Qi'Er's house but headed to the mall instead!
"Brother Lin, what else do you want to buy?" An Qi'Er asked.
"Hmm, it's my first time visiting your home, I should buy something for your parents, otherwise I'd feel awkward going there!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
"Ah, there's no need for that. I'm already very grateful for your help, and my mom said you don't need to buy anything, just come over for a meal and get to know each other," An Qi'Er declined.
"Hehe, girl, don't stand on ceremony with me. Since I'm pretending to be your boyfriend, I might as well act more convincingly! No one complains about too much courtesy! I should bring something as a gesture even if I'm just a regular guest at your house! That's a matter of manners, or else people might think I'm impolite!" Lin Mu explained.
"Alright then, just buy a few things, a token will do," An Qi'Er said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Hey, girl, why be so polite with me? If you really feel bad, just become my real girlfriend!" Lin Mu joked.
An Qi'Er didn't refuse but her face turned red, looking a bit shy, her demeanor was extremely endearing. An Qi'Er has never had a real romantic relationship, perhaps due to family reasons; her family's circumstances didn't permit An Qi'Er to fall in love, she focused solely on her studies from middle school till graduation!
After starting work and coming to this school, under her mother's urging, An Qi'Er was encouraged to find a boyfriend. It's the old mindset, caring especially about daughters growing up and their romantic affairs!
So reluctantly, An Qi'Er accepted Jiang Shan's pursuit, and they became a couple. Jiang Shan was An Qi'Er's first boyfriend, but An Qi'Er, who had never been in a relationship, was always reserved in front of Jiang Shan, unlike other girls, so from start to break-up, Jiang Shan and An Qi'Er never got intimate!
This is why Jiang Shan, even though he had An Qi'Er, the angel, sought out affairs and paid girls elsewhere! Because An Qi'Er truly had an angelic nature, with no thoughts in that direction, any slightly excessive request from Jiang Shan would be firmly opposed by An Qi'Er!
In terms of romance, An Qi'Er remained untainted, pure to the point of amazement; she seemed like a real angel with wings, making people reluctant to harm her, needing careful protection like a crystal ball!
The two arrived at the mall, Lin Mu and An Qi'Er picked out some gifts together, and he specially bought some supplements for An Qi'Er's mom. An Qi'Er already felt bad asking Lin Mu to pretend to be her boyfriend, and now having him buy so many things made her feel even more embarrassed!
"Brother Lin, why did you buy so much and such expensive things? Just a few would have been enough!" An Qi'Er said looking at Lin Mu carrying bags.
"Hehe, it's not that much! Besides, this is just a token of my goodwill. These things aren't expensive, if needed, just buy them, they're not luxury items, just practical things. You're treating me as an outsider, Brother Lin isn't happy about that, you know my personality, it's not like others! Just one word, genuine!" Lin Mu laughed.
"Uh, okay!" An Qi'Er was speechless, luckily she's not a math teacher, so she didn't have to correct Lin Mu's "genuine" is actually two words, right? An Qi'Er could only gratefully smile, "Alright then, Brother Lin, I won't stand on ceremony with you!"
Actually, in her heart, An Qi'Er had already regarded Lin Mu as a close friend; otherwise, why would she pick Lin Mu, someone she just met a few days ago, as a stand-in for a boyfriend instead of so many seniors and teachers at school?
In her heart, An Qi'Er believed Lin Mu met her criteria for choosing a boyfriend, even for choosing a spouse, Lin Mu fit the bill...
Lin Mu carried the bags and got in the car with An Qi'Er, under her direction, Lin Mu drove towards her home. An Qi'Er was born in a regular family, her parents lived in an ordinary neighborhood; parking downstairs, Lin Mu carried the items and got out of the car with An Qi'Er!
"Brother Lin, let's go up!" An Qi'Er smiled and said.
"Hmm!" Lin Mu nodded and went upstairs with An Qi'Er.
An Qi'Er's parents live on the third floor; soon, they reached the third floor and An Qi'Er pressed the doorbell, inside came the voice of a middle-aged woman, "Coming!"
Quickly, the door was opened.
"Mom, I'm back!" An Qi'Er smiled at the woman who opened the door.
Lin Mu looked at the woman in front of him, her face full of wrinkles, skin somewhat weathered, an ordinary-looking mom, but her smiling face was very amiable, giving people a kind feeling!
"Hello, Auntie!" Lin Mu greeted with a smile.
Mrs. An looked at Lin Mu and smiled, "You must be Lin Mu, right?"
"Yes, Auntie, I am Lin Mu." Lin Mu nodded.
"Haha, quite a handsome young man, though a bit dark in complexion..."
Lin Mu instantly felt awkward, "How nice it would be if this lady's eyesight were a bit weaker..."
"Hmm, but you know, a darker complexion indicates good health, haha, come in quickly!"
