Chapter 821 838: Staying Overnight at the An Family
An Qi'Er nodded, feeling that being with Lin Mu always had a different kind of feel. Whether it was Lin Mu's style of doing things or the way he spoke, it made An Qi'Er look at this man in a new light. This was actually the first time An Qi'Er had an emotional connection with a guy, a feeling she never had when she was with Jiang Shan!"Alright then, Brother Lin." An Qi'Er said with a smile. After Lin Mu said this, her mood visibly improved a lot. She believed Lin Mu had the ability because, from beginning to end, Lin Mu had surprised her too many times!
After chatting for a while, Mrs. An walked out of the room, but her face didn't look good. It was imaginable that this phone call was certainly a waste!
Thinking about An Qi'Er's dad, he was really something. Even though it's the first time his son-in-law came to visit, by logic, he should come back to greet him! But he refused! This indirectly showed that Mr. An was already addicted to gambling!
"Mom, will Dad come back?" An Qi'Er sat beside Lin Mu and asked.
"Sigh, he's not coming back. I called him just now, he said it's drizzling outside, he can't come back, and he won't come back tonight." Mrs. An shook her head and said helplessly.
"My dad is really something, can't come back because of a drizzle? I think he's just addicted to gambling." An Qi'Er pouted helplessly, giving Lin Mu an apologetic look.
"Hehe, Auntie, it's okay, the three of us can have dinner. If Uncle finds it inconvenient to come back, then let him be!" Lin Mu smiled and said. He really didn't mind whether An Qi'Er's dad was coming back or not.
With such a good atmosphere, if Mr. An came back, it would definitely be ruined. Lin Mu understood them; for these hardcore gamblers, besides money, they still wanted money. So him not coming back made the dinner more cheerful!
Suddenly, there was a roar outside, a flash of lightning streaked across the black night sky, followed by a burst of thunder!
"Seeing that it's going to rain, An Qi'Er, Lin Mu, if it's inconvenient for you to go back tonight, why not stay here for the night? I often clean An Qi'Er's room, so it's ready to stay in!" Mrs. An said.
"Uh..." Lin Mu was taken aback by Mrs. An's words, "What? I can stay in the same room with An Qi'Er tonight? Wow, can my luck really be this good?"
An Qi'Er heard Mrs. An's words and her face blushed like a red apple, "Mom, what are you saying?"
"Haha, you little girl, still embarrassed. Young people today are open-minded, don't feel shy, don't be like our older generation with old-fashioned thoughts. I can see Lin Mu is a nice kid, he's good to you, genuinely sincere. So you don't need to hide it from me, I understand you. I used to be rigid, not open-minded. Now, for your sake, I don't object. I'm also adapting to your young people's ways and lifestyles, I get it all..." Mrs. An chuckled, seemingly very satisfied with Lin Mu.
But Lin Mu felt that Mrs. An seemed to have... misunderstood!
Sure, young people today are open, they might rent a room after dating for a day, but An Qi'Er and he hadn't reached that stage yet!
"Mom, what are you talking about?" An Qi'Er said shyly, feeling even more misunderstood. But this wasn't easy to explain; she couldn't directly say Lin Mu wasn't her boyfriend, could she?
"Alright, I understand young people's matters, anyway, I don't object!" Mrs. An smiled, seemingly as An Qi'Er had described before. It seemed Mrs. An's only wish now was to find a good family for her daughter to marry into so there would be one less concern for the elderly.
Now, Mrs. An was pushing An Qi'Er toward another man! Of course, Mrs. An didn't know that Lin Mu's identity was actually just a façade!
However, Lin Mu was quite pleased with Mrs. An's trust; it showed they had accepted him. If he could win over An Qi'Er, at least her family wouldn't be an obstacle, they might even become a catalyst!
"Alright, Mom, let's eat first!" An Qi'Er said shyly, obviously embarrassed by Mrs. An's bluntness in front of Lin Mu.
Lin Mu, An Qi'Er, and Mrs. An sat down at the dining table, and the family started their dinner in harmony. Mrs. An had prepared quite a lot of home-cooked dishes in advance!
"Come, Lin Mu, eat more, try Auntie's cooking!" Mrs. An laughed as she picked up a piece of braised ribs for Lin Mu.
Lin Mu felt flattered, and to be honest, he felt like Mrs. An was treating him like family, giving him a warm feeling.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Lin Mu smiled and picked up a chicken leg for Mrs. An, "Auntie, you eat too!"
"Hmph, you two are getting so close, where does that leave me?" An Qi'Er pouted as she sat beside Lin Mu, pretending to be upset about the fuss Mrs. An and Lin Mu were making over each other. They seemed more like family, leaving her out as if she were an outsider, how annoying!
Lin Mu chuckled, "Hehe, here, An Qi'Er, let me get some for you!"
"That's more like it. Come on, Mom, your daughter is filial to you, here's a big red shrimp for you. Brother Lin, I'm good to you too, here's some tofu!" An Qi'Er laughed and gave Mrs. An a chicken leg, then picked up some tofu for Lin Mu.
"Uh, sister, how did you know I like others' tofu..." Lin Mu said deliberately, making An Qi'Er's face turn red.
"Stop passing dishes around, everyone knows each other here, just eat while it's hot!" Mrs. An laughed.
"Hmm, I have to try Auntie's cooking!" Lin Mu said as he picked up a piece of braised pork, savoring it, he ate with pleasure, nodding as he ate, giving Mrs. An a thumbs-up, "Mrs. An, your cooking is truly excellent, this braised pork is succulent but not greasy, comparable to top chefs! Just perfect for my taste!"
Mrs. An was visibly pleased by Lin Mu's flattery, obviously happy, "Good to hear you like it, have more. It's rare for someone to recognize my cooking!"
"I definitely need to eat more, I can't miss out on such a delicious meal! Auntie's cooking is the best I've had!" Lin Mu grinned.
"Haha, you're quite the talker, visit often with An Qi'Er when you have time, I'll cook for you every day. I'll teach An Qi'Er, so when she marries you, she can cook for you every day!" Mrs. An said happily with a smile.
Lin Mu looked at An Qi'Er beside him and smiled, "That would be wonderful, just thinking about it makes me happy!"
"Mom, why do you have to involve me in everything?" An Qi'Er tutted at her mother, pouting.
