Chapter 1572 - 1566: Wild Imaginings (Part 2)

Introverted?

Gu Xiaoxian didn’t think so.

But neither Gu Lan nor Lin Xi continued discussing this matter.

Well, it was Gu Lan who didn’t continue the discussion.

Lin Xi stayed silent.

Because everyone knows that if you point out something bad about the person involved, they definitely won’t admit it.

Especially in front of someone they like, there’s no way they’d admit it.

This is a known truth.

Just as Gu Xiaoxian was about to refute, Gu Lan said something astonishing.

Even Lin Xi was taken aback.

These days, the auntie’s tactics are scarier than the noise of the square dance.

No, no, no!

Lin Xi immediately rejected this idea.

Because Gu Lan’s maneuver this time was an extremely difficult opportunity for him.

Yes, an opportunity to win over Xiaoxian.

As Gu Lan said, Xiaoxian is just too shy.

Especially when she’s with him.

This makes it difficult for him to use many of his strategies.

Because if he did, he’d feel guilty inside.

Gu Lan’s words were, "I’ve bought tickets for the two of you to go to the Maldives!"

"Seven-day trip!"

"Non-refundable tickets!"

"Mom, where did you get the money?" Gu Xiaoxian, stunned for a long time, asked this.

Gu Lan smiled, "Business has been good lately!"

"Managed to save up some money!"

"So I thought, better buy you two a ticket, or who knows when you’ll really confirm your relationship."

Gu Xiaoxian’s face instantly turned crimson, completely avoiding Lin Xi’s gaze.

She felt utterly embarrassed at that moment.

How could her mom be like this?

Why hadn’t she noticed all this time?

Plus, this move was just too dazzlingly bold.

Besides.

Lin Xi doesn’t seem to know you that well.

And you assume he agreed.

Why have you decided everything?

And it’s non-refundable.

The Maldives.

That’s a tourist paradise, a place many long for.

Of course, the money needed, at least twenty thousand per person.

This money?

Mom actually has it!!!

The key point is she’s willing to spend it.

That’s simply incredible.

Considering mom has always been so thrifty.

With herself.

But not so much with her and Gu Chen, especially her.

But Lin Xi is an outsider.

Yet she treats outsiders so well?

Though, come to think of it, treating Lin Xi well is proper.

If it weren’t for Lin Xi, their family wouldn’t have what they have today.

Chances are, they’d be down to living on the street.

"Mom, are you sure it’s non-refundable?" Gu Xiaoxian weakly asked.

Gu Lan nodded firmly, "Non-refundable!"

"You wouldn’t trick me?"

"When have I ever tricked you!"

"Could you have been scammed?"

"Certainly not, it’s legit!"

"Mom, don’t be afraid, if it’s a scam, and you’re threatened, don’t worry, I will fight for justice for you. And in this age, there’s really nothing non-refundable. We haven’t spent any money, even accepting a slight loss is manageable!"

"No, not refundable at all!"

Lin Xi, at the side, "...."

Of course, he wants to go.

Besides, who knows, the old man might be there.

Just right for him to seek some advice.

To show him what mid-stage Innate strength looks like.

Even if he can’t win, he’ll make him drop his jaw in shock.

After all, it’s been less than a year.

He went from a top-level King of Soldiers to breaking through to mid-stage Innate.

This is definitely the fastest breakthrough ever.

But in terms of steadiness, from a good image perspective, he couldn’t help but say, "Auntie, if it really is a scammer, don’t worry."

"No matter who they are, I’ll make sure they refund!"

"And eradicate evil for the sake of justice!"

Once he said this, Lin Xi froze.

Seemed like this phrase wasn’t quite right.

Why does it still feel like he’s a bit like a thug?

Immediately, he corrected himself, "I know some people at the police station, while they can’t manage refunds, they are quite familiar with the law. I can ask them for help."

This way!

Seems much better.

But he noticed.

When he said these words, Gu Lan’s expression didn’t change at all.

Which means.

Not a scam!

And she doesn’t care how he said it.

Making Lin Xi have to sigh, truly an excellent mother-in-law.

And probably the most capable mother-in-law in history.

Absolutely deserves one hundred and twenty-six likes.

"Mom, we still have classes!!!" Gu Xiaoxian pouted, saying again.

Traveling just the two of them!

It’s really too frightening.

She had no idea how to speak to Lin Xi.

Or how to talk to him.

Would she just lower her head every time she sees him?

What fun would a trip be then?

Moreover, if she went.

It would be her first time traveling in her life, bordering on saying first time leaving Chuzhou City.

Could she end up making a fool of herself?

Even as a top student, almost understanding everything.

But understanding is understanding, there’s still a big gap from action.

"Classes?" Gu Lan chuckled, her hands, though wrinkled, held Gu Xiaoxian’s tender hand like curd, saying again, "Just a few days away from the National Day!"

"Seven days off!"

Lin Xi, "...."

Gu Xiaoxian, "......"

Honestly, neither of them realized that the National Day was just in a few days.

It’s really fast.

Plus, mom had her plans so detailed.

Thinking about it, makes sense.

She wouldn’t let the two skip classes.

This is, after all, a top domestic institute, the students’ future is most important.

As a regular mom, she wouldn’t let her kid skip classes.

Ultimately, no matter what Gu Xiaoxian says.

An irrefutable fact remains, which is the trip.

Yes, with Lin Xi, just the two of them.

Long journey, in a foreign land, two relying on each other....

What the heck!

Why think of relying on each other???

Gu Xiaoxian kept her head down as she and Lin Xi made their way back.

All sorts of crazy thoughts constantly surfaced in her mind.

Even as Lin Xi escorted her to the dormitory, she remained in a daze.

This maneuver!

Probably only her mom in all of Huaxia could do it.

Simply amazing!

She had no idea how to complain.

Because there are endless things to complain about.

It wasn’t till she reached the dormitory and Jiang Yi asked her what was up that she was still in a daze.

Startling her three dormmates.

Thinking she had encountered something terrifying.

Because, uhm, the world isn’t that safe.

Especially as a girl, a pretty one.

Outside, getting noticed by those with ulterior motives, stuff happening, it’s possible.

"Xiaoxian, are you okay? Don’t scare us!" Jiang Yi asked nervously, patting Gu Xiaoxian up and down, checking for injuries.
