Chapter 20: A Stunning Beauty, Captivating and Charming
Night, lying in bed.
With his right hand petting the little bulldog next to him, Xiao Yu held his phone in his left hand, debating whether to call Mu Qingwu.
The bulldog is Cara, an eight-year-old dog.
People have emotions, especially since Xiao Yu found Cara as a stray.
Gotta admit, dogs can be loyal creatures.
Mom treats Cara like her own child, but Cara sticks closest to Xiao Yu.
Even at night, Cara insists on sleeping by his side.
After dialing the number, it connected.
“What’s up?”
Mu Qingwu’s voice came through, filled with curiosity.
“Come to my house tomorrow.”
Xiao Yu didn’t waste words, “My parents want to meet you!”
“…” Mu Qingwu was silent.
Hey, hey, hey, are you planning to burn the bridge after crossing it?
Xiao Yu started to panic, thinking: I just helped you, you can’t do this to me!
“Okay, I’ll prepare. What time?”
Mu Qingwu finally responded.
“Why you hesitated for so long, not willing?” Xiao Yu frowned.
“No.”
Mu Qingwu laughed, “I have a client tomorrow, so I’ll have to reschedule.”
“…”
Now it was Xiao Yu’s turn to be silent, “Thank you!”
“Thank me for what? You helped me.”
Mu Qingwu chuckled, “And you’re my newly adopted little brother.”
Xiao Yu was puzzled.
When did I agree to be your little brother? Did you get my consent?
“Also, don’t dress too… extravagantly.”
Xiao Yu suggested, “Don’t want to scare my parents.”
Although he didn’t know exactly what Mu Qingwu did.
The luxury car and villa, along with her noble and elegant demeanor, said a lot.
His parents were just ordinary people; if Mu Qingwu came ‘dressed to impress,’ it would probably make them uncomfortable.
“Got it.”
Mu Qingwu was quite agreeable, “Anything else?”
“Nope.”
The call ended.
Xiao Yu stared at his phone for a while, lost in thought.
Big sis?
Little brother?
Shaking his head, he drifted into a hazy sleep…
***
The next day at noon.
Xiao Yu stood outside the community, seeing Mu Qingwu get out of a taxi.
She was indeed dressed plainly, bare-faced.
Wearing very ordinary jeans and a down jacket.
But on her, it exuded an elegant and grand feeling.
Is this what they call changing the substance with aura?
Xiao Yu liked this big sister a bit more.
Because she was sensible.
As long as your request was reasonable, she wouldn’t refuse and was very compliant.
Seeing the two gift boxes in Mu Qingwu’s hand, Xiao Yu blushed.
Thinking about meeting her mother, he had brought nothing.
Reaching out to take the gift boxes, Xiao Yu’s eyes were different, “Sis, thanks.”
That “Sis” sounded so natural.
“Mm.”
Mu Qingwu’s originally cold face instantly brightened, her eyes seemed to sparkle, her lips rosy, transforming from an ice queen to a charming beauty. She placed her hand into Xiao Yu’s outstretched hand and whispered, “Are Uncle and Aunt watching?”
Such a smart woman.
But this is what makes her feminine.
Always being cold and noble, holding the air of an mature woman, isn’t cute at all.
“Yeah.”
Xiao Yu explained with a smile, “My house faces the entrance directly. If they weren’t watching, that would be strange.”
“Ahaha…”
Mu Qingwu laughed softly, “Let’s go.”
Xiao Yu held Mu Qingwu’s hand, carrying the gifts, and walked home…
At home, the couple standing by the floor-to-ceiling window were stunned.
Is that really our son’s girlfriend?
Why… is she so beautiful!
They had mentally prepared themselves.
What can you expect from a 28-year-old woman?
But the reality was completely different.
Their son’s girlfriend looked like an ancient noble lady.
Is this an illusion?!
***
“Dad, Mom, I’m home.”
Opening the door, Xiao Yu led Mu Qingwu inside.
No need to call out, the couple had been waiting by the door.
“Hello, Uncle and Aunt.”
Seeing Xiao Yu’s parents, a shy blush appeared on Mu Qingwu’s fair and beautiful face, making her charming.
Seeing the girl who looked like a jade figure, Liu Yunqing and Xiao Shengguo were stunned.
A question popped into their minds: What kind of luck did our son have?
“Come in, come in!”
Liu Yunqing was overjoyed, holding Mu Qingwu’s hand, glaring at her son, “Why are you standing there, get the slippers.”
“I…” Xiao Yu almost spat blood.
Obediently, he squatted down to get Mu Qingwu slippers.
Liu Yunqing took Mu Qingwu’s hand and walked off, leaving the father and son aside.
“Impressive, son!”
Xiao Shengguo looked at Xiao Yu with a chuckle, “You’ve got a bit of your old man’s style. Nice eye.”
“Heh!”
Xiao Yu sneered, “Dad, quit bragging. Don’t you know what Mom’s like? Your taste… no comment!”
“Uh…” Xiao Shengguo gave an awkward laugh.
Thinking: Do you think I wanted it this way? If not for your mom back then… sigh, the past is too painful to recall!
When the family sat in the living room, the father and son became invisible.
Liu Yunqing chatted happily with Mu Qingwu, holding her hand.
Mu Qingwu lost her cold demeanor, appearing quiet and obedient.
“Perfect!”
Xiao Shengguo whispered to his son, “First time seeing your mom this happy in years.”
“…” Xiao Yu was speechless.
Perfect?
If Mom finds out that Mu Qingwu and I are fake dating…
His rear clenched, scalp tingling.
Analyzing the situation, he concluded.
It’s gonna be bad!
