Xu Mo was stunned.
Earlier, he had only been thinking about helping An Youyi deceive her mother.
He hadn't expected that he would play the role too well, overdoing it!
As a result, he, the fake son-in-law, had completely won over the heart of his real mother-in-law...
Huan Qinxue was already eager to start making arrangements for their wedding!
Xu Mo wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded.
An Youyi was even more bewildered.
When the two were chatting earlier, she sat on the side, unable to get a word in.
She could only watch helplessly as Xu Mo and her mother chatted more and more happily.
Even when they talked about her childhood embarrassments, she couldn't interject.
The whole time, it was Xu Mo chatting with her mother, giving off the impression of a mother-in-law growing fonder of her son-in-law by the minute.
At the time, she was thinking how impressive Xu Mo was.
He had succeeded so quickly.
She thought her mother would finally stop pressuring her to go on blind dates.
However, what An Youyi hadn't anticipated was that in just that short time,
Xu Mo had completely passed her mother's test.
To the extent that she wanted to help them get married today!?
Was Xu Mo really that amazing??
While Xu Mo and An Youyi were dumbfounded,
Huan Qinxue was beaming with joy beside them.
She had already started pondering about having grandchildren.
"Let me calculate... If you two get your marriage certificate and have the wedding now, and start trying for a baby tonight, with some effort you should be able to conceive by the end of the month. Ten months later... I could be holding my grandchild by early next year!"
The thought of holding her grandchild made Huan Qinxue even happier.
Her smile was absolutely radiant.
"Have two kids, a grandson and a granddaughter. But don't worry, I know you young people are busy with your careers. You don't need to take care of the children, I'll help you raise them!"
"If this grandchild is promising, I might even get to see my great-grandchild... Hold on, let me call Youyi's father and tell him about this!"
Xu Mo: "???"
Nothing was set in stone yet!
And now great-grandchildren??
He felt a bit regretful.
If he had known earlier, he should have held back a little!
But this also served as a reminder for Xu Mo.
Next time he encountered such a situation, he should know when to stop.
He shouldn't overdo it.
This was way too terrifying!
Seeing that Huan Qinxue had already picked up the phone and was about to call An Youyi's father to discuss this matter,
Xu Mo quickly kicked An Youyi under the table, signaling her to say something to stop it.
An Youyi immediately understood.
Without hesitation, she stood up.
Walking to Huan Qinxue's side, she reached out and pressed down on the phone.
"Oh... Mom, these things can't be rushed. We don't have any plans to get married at the moment."
Hearing this, Huan Qinxue immediately became unhappy.
Can't be rushed?
How could it not be rushed?
Good men are hard to find. If you don't seize the opportunity, he'll become someone else's!
By then, it would be too late for regrets.
"No, how can it not be rushed? You must listen to me on this!" Huan Qinxue said firmly.
"But Mom, you can make decisions for me, but can you make decisions for Xu Mo? Before you decide, shouldn't you at least hear what he has to say?" As she spoke, An Youyi winked at Xu Mo.
Hearing this, Huan Qinxue looked at Xu Mo.
"Xiao Xu, what do you think? Tell Auntie."
Xu Mo glanced at An Youyi, then turned to Huan Qinxue and said,
"Auntie, my thoughts are the same as Youyi's. There's no rush to get married, let's wait a while longer."
Huan Qinxue fell silent.
She looked at Xu Mo, then at her disappointing daughter.
Then she sighed.
If neither of them wanted to get married now, there was no use in her worrying about it.
"Alright then, I won't meddle anymore. You two can discuss this yourselves."
Hearing this, An Youyi felt relieved and returned to sit beside Xu Mo.
However, as An Youyi was walking back to sit down next to Xu Mo, Huan Qinxue seemed to think of something.
She suddenly asked,
"Xiao Xu, Youyi, how far have you two... progressed in your relationship?"
This unexpected question caught both An Youyi and Xu Mo off guard.
It's worth noting that from the beginning until now, they had both been improvising.
Because they never had time to coordinate their stories beforehand.
Suddenly being asked how far they've progressed... of course they were stunned!
The two exchanged a glance.
For a moment, neither knew how to answer this question.
However, in that instant of their hesitation,
Huan Qinxue spoke again.
"Xiao Xu, you sit here for a moment. I need to speak with Youyi about something. Youyi, come with me."
As she spoke, she stood up from the table and walked directly to the sofa on the other side of the private room.
An Youyi let out an "Oh" and followed her.
On the sofa,
Huan Qinxue lowered her voice and asked,
"Tell me the truth, how far have you really gone? Have you..."
An Youyi ducked her head.
"How far... should I have gone?"
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Huan Qinxue pretty much understood.
They hadn't done anything at all!
How could that be acceptable?
It's worth noting that Huan Qinxue was very satisfied with Xu Mo as her future son-in-law.
She couldn't wait for An Youyi and Xu Mo to get married soon.
But clearly, the two had no plans to marry in the near future.
Of course, Huan Qinxue, as a mother, was anxious.
She thought of a way to force them to marry - shotgun wedding!
The next second, Huan Qinxue held An Youyi's hand earnestly.
"Youyi, you're not getting any younger. You know, for some things, you don't have to wait for the boy to take the initiative. You can be proactive too..."
An Youyi: "???"
What kind of scandalous talk was this!
An Youyi's face immediately turned red.
At this moment, she even doubted if she was her mother's real daughter.
Is this how a real mother would teach her daughter!?
"Mom, this... this isn't right!"
"How is it not right?" Huan Qinxue glared, tapping An Youyi's forehead: "You're not getting any younger, hurry up and put some effort into it, understand? If you can't keep my precious son-in-law, see how I'll deal with you!"
An Youyi: "???"
They had just met for the first time!
And he's already a precious son-in-law!
Is he more precious than her, the precious daughter?
At this moment, Xu Mo's phone rang again.
This time, it was Zhou Qiaoqiao calling.
Seeing that An Youyi and her mother were still whispering, Xu Mo walked out of the private room and answered the phone.
"Hello, Xu Mo, um... can you help me with something?"
Xu Mo: "???"
These words...
They sound so familiar!

Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.

However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary.

But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
