Chapter 380 Spirits and Monsters
Lu Huailin saw that his wife had a cold face, as if she was going to make him suffer if he didn't get a satisfactory answer.
He couldn't help but smile and reached out to pinch her delicate little nose.
He smiled and said, "Honey, don't worry, I won't bring Mom over early."
Gu Yihan glanced at Lu Huailin, turned her head away and snorted: "You want to outsource your filial piety and make me take care of your mother? No way."
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin was stunned for a moment, not understanding what "filial piety outsourcing" meant.
However, he understood what was said next.
He shook his head with a smile and said, "Wife, my mother never raised you, so you don't need to take care of you."
After saying that, he hugged Gu Yihan and kissed her pouty cheek.
He smiled and said, "When it's Mom's turn to live in our house, let her stay on the first floor with the nanny."
“We live on the second floor. She doesn’t come out to eat; we have the people taking care of her bring the food into the bedroom to feed her.”
"That way, the two of you won't see each other on weekdays, so there won't be any conflicts or you'll get angry."
Gu Yihan glanced at Lu Huailin and nodded, saying, "That's more like it."
Then, remembering that he hadn't mentioned finding someone to take care of Lu's mother for so long, he asked in confusion, "You've found someone to take care of Mom?"
Lu Huailin nodded: "The woman who helped Mom tidy up her room today seemed quite efficient, so I asked her about it."
"She said she would be very happy to come to the family compound to take care of her mother closely."
Gu Yihan nodded, without asking how much it cost to hire someone.
As long as she doesn't have to serve me, nothing else matters.
"Mom, I'm home."
When Gu Yihan heard Hao Hao's voice, she suddenly remembered that he had said he would treat Xiao Yang to dinner before going to the research institute today.
She quickly stood up and walked out of the living room, just in time to see Hao Hao holding Xiao Yang's hand and eagerly pulling him inside.
He kept muttering, "I promised you yesterday I'd treat you to dinner."
Xiao Yang looked up at Gu Yihan with an embarrassed expression: "Comrade Gu, the dinner thing was just a joke with Hao Hao."
He came empty-handed; how could he possibly have the nerve to eat at someone else's house?
Hao Hao pouted in dissatisfaction, looking at Gu Yihan with pleading eyes. He didn't want to be a child who didn't keep his word.
Seeing this, Gu Yihan walked up to Hao Hao and touched his soft hair.
Looking up at Xiao Yang, he said, "Xiao Yang, Hao Hao said you helped him a lot at the research institute and he'd like to treat you to a meal as a way of thanking you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang opened his mouth, about to say that what he helped was simply his duty.
It was Tang Laoqian who repeatedly emphasized this.
At this moment, Lu Huailin walked out with a smile, warmly put his arm around Xiao Yang's shoulder and said, "Come on, I have something to ask you."
And so, Xiao Yang was warmly invited to stay by Gu Yihan's family.
Seeing Lu Huailin chatting and talking with Xiao Yang and Hao Hao, who were two adults and one child, in a very professional manner, Gu Yihan's lips curled up slightly.
He turned and went into the kitchen, closing the door behind him.
I quickly took out the sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, and boiled fish that she had prepared in advance.
Half an hour later
Lu Huailin smelled the rich aroma, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He saw Hao Hao talking to Xiao Yang.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up, walked to the kitchen door, and called out, "Honey, do you need any help?"
Gu Yihan quickly turned off the stove and replied, "The dishes are all cooked. Come and bring them to the table."
Lu Huailin took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and saw his wife serving soup while saying, "Luckily, Hao Hao told me in advance, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to eat dinner for more than an hour."
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin glanced at the vegetables on the cutting board, his lowered eyes flickering.
He'll do whatever his wife says, even if she's a spirit who has transformed into a human, as long as she doesn't leave him and his son.
Lu Huailin pretended not to see it.
During meals
Xiao Yang was flattered by the many elaborate dishes Gu Yihan had prepared, and thought he would pay extra attention to Hao Hao in the research institute in the future.
Otherwise, it would be a disservice to the Gu family for their hospitality.
At that moment, Hao Hao was gnawing on a chicken wing while carelessly saying, "Mom."
"Today I overheard Grandpa Li telling Grandma Li that he wanted to introduce Aunt Li to Uncle Yang."
"Cough...cough..."
Xiao Yang was so startled by the sudden big melon that he choked, his cheeks turned red, and he couldn't stop coughing.
Seeing this, Lu Huailin quickly handed him a glass of water and then stood up to pat Xiao Yang on the back.
He said softly, "The child is just talking nonsense because he doesn't know any better."
Hao Hao was about to say that he wasn't making things up.
He looked up angrily, only to see Gu Yihan making a "shh" gesture to him, and the words he was about to say stopped abruptly.
Xiao Yang took a few sips of water, looked up at Gu Yihan, and said, "Comrade Gu, my family has already arranged a marriage for me."
Gu Yihan nodded and said "Oh," wondering why he had told her about his engagement.
Xiao Yang's heart was pounding.
He ate his meal with trepidation, not daring to lift his head, for fear that Gu Yihan would take out another bottle of medicine for the Li family.
In that case, he would definitely be forced by Old Tang to sell himself to the Li family.
After dinner
Lu Huailin smiled and invited Xiao Yang to sit at his home for a while.
Startled, Xiao Yang waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Comrade Lu, I have things to do at home, so I won't sit down."
After saying that, he didn't wait for a reply, turned around and ran away as if a ghost was chasing him.
Gu Yihan glanced at Hao Hao, who was sweeping the floor with a broom, and asked in confusion, "Is your Uncle Yang so shy?"
He was so embarrassed during the meal that he didn't dare to lift his head. Lu Huailin used serving chopsticks to put the food into his bowl.
Hao Hao shook his head vigorously, pouting, and said, "No, Uncle Yang is amazing, he's not shy at all!"
While clearing away the dishes, Lu Huailin said with a smile, "He must have been frightened by Hao Hao's words."
Gu Yihan suddenly remembered the matter of Li's parents and frowned.
Hao Hao puffed out his cheeks; he still remembered how Lu Huailin didn't trust him!
He mumbled, "That's what Grandpa Li and Grandma Li said. Hao Hao wasn't lying."
Lu Huailin glanced at Hao Hao's chubby cheeks and said with a smile, "Okay, it's Dad's fault. I shouldn't have distrusted Hao Hao."
Hao Hao grinned when he heard Lu Huailin apologize.
Before going to bed
Nestled in Lu Huailin's arms, Gu Yihan asked疑惑地问道, "Why do I feel like Mr. and Mrs. Li deliberately said in front of Hao Hao that they wanted to introduce Sister Yajing to Xiao Yang?"
It wasn't that she was a conspiracy theorist, but rather that she thought it was too much of a coincidence.
The research institute was so big, and Li's parents worked in logistics.
Hao Hao's activities are limited, and he's always been by Tang Lao's side, so how come he's so lucky?
Hao Hao happened to overhear their conversation.
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin patted his wife's bottom and said with a smile, "Don't think too much about it, it has nothing to do with us."
"No matter how much scheming you do, it won't work if you don't want to be a matchmaker."
Gu Yihan glanced at Lu Huailin but didn't say anything.
I was thinking of telling Hao Hao to stay away from Li's parents when he goes to the research institute next week.
Suddenly a dark shadow loomed over her head, Lu Huailin bit her lip, and sparks flew from his rough hands onto her body.
"Wife, how about some marital bliss?"
They were an old married couple, and seeing how hard he was working, Gu Yihan half-heartedly played the zither and sang along.
