Chapter 392: Gu Yizhou: This... Who Is the Real Biological Child?

Gu Yizhou was at a loss for words as he looked at his mother’s suspicious expression, which clearly said, “You two are lying to me.”

‘What on earth is my mom thinking!’

‘Besides, it’s the middle of the day and my parents are home. Who would be so bold as to do anything in broad daylight!’

‘And!’

‘Even if I wanted to get up to something with Yan Luoxi, I’d at least close and lock the door!’

“Mom, it really was just a coincidence!”

Gu Yizhou said with a helpless, wry smile.

“Oh, is that so…”

Chen Dongmei glanced at him and said perfunctorily, “In that case, I suppose I really did misunderstand you.”

Gu Yizhou: “…”

‘This…’

‘Seriously!’

‘Mom, could you sound any less sincere?’

Gu Yizhou had nothing left to say.

But then Chen Dongmei noticed Yan Luoxi standing beside Gu Yizhou. Her head was bowed, and her face was so red she looked like she was about to burn up.

So she said, “Um… Xixi, I’m sorry. Auntie misunderstood you.”

“Ah… It’s okay, Auntie.”

Yan Luoxi hurriedly replied in a small voice.

“Hey… you little brat, go clear the dining table, then bring the food out from the kitchen.”

“It’s time to eat.”

Chen Dongmei ordered, looking at Gu Yizhou.

After she spoke, she turned to Yan Luoxi with a wide smile. “Xixi, let’s go sit at the table. We’re about to eat.”

Gu Yizhou: “…”

‘She’s making me do all the work while she and Yan Luoxi go sit down?’

‘This… Who’s the real child here?!’

A pained expression crossed Gu Yizhou’s face.

He didn’t say anything, though.

‘One of these women is my own mother, and the other is my future wife.’

‘What could I possibly do?’

‘Guess I’ll just roll up my sleeves and get to it!’

Gu Yizhou silently went to clear the table and get the bowls and chopsticks.

Meanwhile, Chen Dongmei, Gu Yizhou’s mother, had pulled Yan Luoxi over to the dining table and sat her down.

“Xixi, you’re such a beautiful girl. I took a liking to you the moment I saw you.”

Chen Dongmei looked at Yan Luoxi with a benevolent smile, her eyes filled with admiration and fondness.

Yan Luoxi felt a little shy under Chen Dongmei’s gaze, and the blush on her cheeks deepened. “You’re too kind, Auntie,” she said softly.

“It’s not flattery at all. I’m a very good judge of character.”

Chen Dongmei smiled and shook her head. She took Yan Luoxi’s hand, patted it gently, and said, “By the way, our Yizhou, that little brat, has had a rebellious streak since he was a kid. You’ll have to be a little patient with him in the future, okay?”

“Er…”

Yan Luoxi was taken aback by her words.

She glanced over at Gu Yizhou bustling about in the kitchen, then back at Chen Dongmei, momentarily at a loss for words.

In the end, however, she just nodded lightly and said, “Okay, Auntie.”

Seeing Yan Luoxi’s reaction, Chen Dongmei was even more pleased. ‘This girl seems so well-behaved and sensible,’ she thought to herself. ‘My brat really hit the jackpot this time!’

The two of them sat at the dining table, chatting idly, while Gu Yizhou was bustling about in the kitchen.

Soon, Gu Yizhou had brought all the dishes to the table.

Everyone then took their seats.

The lunch menu today consisted of crucian carp and tofu soup, braised pork ribs, oil-braised prawns, pan-fried tofu, Kung Pao chicken, and more.

Worried that Yan Luoxi might be too nervous to serve herself, Gu Yizhou sat down next to her.

“Xixi, it’s just some simple home cooking. I hope you don’t mind,”

Chen Dongmei said with a smile.

“Not at all. These dishes are wonderful,”

Yan Luoxi quickly said.

Looking at the huge spread of dishes covering the table, Yan Luoxi was actually quite surprised.

She hadn’t expected Gu Yizhou’s mother to be able to prepare such a feast in such a short amount of time.

‘And from the looks of it, it must taste amazing!’

“Heh heh…”

Chen Dongmei chuckled. “As long as you like it. Come on, try some and see what you think of my cooking.”

She then ladled a bowl of the crucian carp and tofu soup for Yan Luoxi.

“Th-thank you, Auntie~”

Yan Luoxi hurriedly accepted it with both hands, thanking her.

After that, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

Yan Luoxi’s eyes lit up after she took a small sip of the soup.

‘It’s incredibly savory!’

‘Paired with the smooth, tender tofu, the flavor is just divine!’

“So, Xixi, how’s the soup?”

Chen Dongmei asked with a smile.

“It’s delicious… I’ve never had crucian carp and tofu soup this savory before.”

Yan Luoxi replied with a smile, looking at Chen Dongmei.

She was telling the truth.

It was her first time trying a soup with this combination of ingredients.

“Hee hee hee~”

“What a sweet-talker!”

“If you like it, have some more. There’s plenty left in the pot!”

Chen Dongmei said, smiling happily.

“Okay… thank you, Auntie!”

Yan Luoxi nodded obediently and thanked her again.

“Oh, you dear child, you’re too polite. There’s no need for that!”

Chen Dongmei chided her gently. “Just make yourself at home!”

“Okay…”

Yan Luoxi nodded obediently once more.

The more Chen Dongmei looked at Yan Luoxi, the more she liked this beautiful, well-behaved, and sensible girl.

‘It couldn’t be helped!’

‘Who wouldn’t fall for a girl as gentle, pleasant, and beautiful as Yan Luoxi!’

In her heart, she had already approved of Yan Luoxi as her future daughter-in-law.

Watching the well-behaved Yan Luoxi from the side, Gu Jianguo also nodded in satisfaction.

After finishing their soup, everyone began the main course.

Gu Yizhou took the initiative to get up and serve everyone rice.

He knew Yan Luoxi’s appetite, so he gave her a modest portion to save her from any potential embarrassment later on.

That’s right!

Gu Yizhou was just that considerate!

‘What could he do?’

‘If I don’t dote on my own future wife, who will?!’

Afterward, because Chen Dongmei was so fond of the well-behaved and sensible Yan Luoxi, she worried the girl would be too shy to serve herself. So, she continuously placed more food into her bowl.

Before long, Yan Luoxi’s bowl was piled high with a small mountain of food.

Seeing Gu Yizhou’s mother about to add even more to her bowl, Yan Luoxi was startled and quickly said, “That’s enough… That’s enough, Auntie! There’s too much, I won’t be able to finish it all.”

Only then did Chen Dongmei notice the large amount of food still left in Yan Luoxi’s bowl. She gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

“Hah~”

“You’re at the age where you’re still growing!”

“Xixi, you’re too skinny. Eat some more meat, dear.”

Chen Dongmei said with concern.

Gu Yizhou: “…”

‘Still growing?????’

‘Oh, well.’

‘I guess it’s not impossible for someone in their twenties!’

‘But… skinny?’

‘You’re calling a D-class heavyweight skinny?’

Gu Yizhou glanced at Yan Luoxi, who was sitting beside him.

He was well acquainted with her figure.

‘Definitely a solid D-cup!’

Gu Yizhou would swear to it.

After all, he’d had a hands-on experience.
