Hearing the words "my mom," Chu Ge couldn't help but freeze for a moment, his eyelids twitched, and his heart was filled with a tangle of emotions.

But thankfully, it was just him and Shu Lulu here right now, which was much better than facing her and her mother together. This was a good opportunity to hear what she had to say.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Chu Ge scratched his nose and pretended to be speechless, "Why bring her up? You didn't actually tell her everything about us, did you?"

Changing her shoes and coming into the house, Shu Lulu sat beside Chu Ge and said as a matter of course under his speechless gaze, "Of course, you helped me a great deal, so I obviously had to tell my mom. I talked to her after dinner last night."

Seeing Shu Lulu's sly smile, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, "What did you tell her? That you wanted to be my mistress?"

Shu Lulu giggled, "Uncle, you're underestimating my intelligence, aren't you? I'm not that silly. If I really said that, wouldn't I be asking for trouble and causing you issues? I just told her how we met and how you helped me at school."

Chu Ge nodded with a conflicted feeling, and then asked, "And then? What did your mom say?"

"She wanted to thank you in person, but it was a bit late at the time, so she planned to come today. Unfortunately, there was an emergency at her workplace, and she had to go to another province for training. It was all very rushed, so she couldn't come. She's on the plane right now and should be arriving soon."

Hearing Shu Lulu say this, Chu Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least for now, he didn't have to worry and stress over this matter.

"Uncle, why do I feel like you're acting weird today, like you're particularly happy not to meet my mom?"

While Chu Ge was thinking, Shu Lulu suddenly asked curiously. Even though Chu Ge's reaction didn't change significantly, she just had this intuition.

Chu Ge broke into a sweat, thinking why he hadn't noticed Shu Lulu was so sharp before.

Women are indeed mysterious.

After tapping Shu Lulu on the forehead, Chu Ge said with some annoyance, "Nonsense, when I helped you, I never intended for your family to thank me. If I really met your mom, it would be so tedious with all the formalities. You've known me long enough, am I the type who likes hearing polite words?"

Of course, Shu Lulu didn't know the real reason Chu Ge didn't want to meet Luo Suyun, and hearing him say this, she believed him, feeling even more touched and admiring Chu Ge even more.

"Uncle, you're really nice. It would be even better if you let me stay here for a meal, accompany me shopping tomorrow, get my hair done, buy a computer, and then visit the amusement park or something."

As she spoke, Shu Lulu grabbed Chu Ge's hand and started shaking it, acting spoiled.

Chu Ge, having long developed a strong immunity to Shu Lulu's cuteness tactics, shook his head speechlessly, "You've got quite the list there, but do you really think I'm that free? You might be on holiday with nothing to do, but I still need to work."

"Uncle, but tomorrow is Saturday. I remember you have weekends off. I've been studying hard for so long, could you please relax with me a little, okay?"

Chu Ge was taken aback, "Tomorrow is Saturday?"

Shu Lulu quickly nodded, "Yeah, yeah."

Over the past few days of running around, Chu Ge completely lost track of his days and hadn't realized that tomorrow was Saturday. Thinking it over, he said, "Let me see, if I have the time, I'll accompany you, but I'm not sure at this moment."

Even though Chu Ge hadn't explicitly agreed, just this promise made Shu Lulu overjoyed. She suddenly leaned close to him, moving towards his face swiftly.

Shu Lulu was quick, but Chu Ge was quicker, immediately raising his hand to shield his cheek.

Seeing the raised hand, Shu Lulu looked at Chu Ge speechlessly, "Uncle, I just want to thank you, was that really necessary?"

Lowering the right hand that successfully defended against Lulu's "sneak attack," Chu Ge poked her forehead, "If you keep being handsy with me, the shopping and stuff are completely off the table."

Though he spoke sternly, Chu Ge really couldn't get angry with Shu Lulu.

He knew that this optimistic little girl had it rough; her mother Luo Suyun had to work hard to support the family, while her father was still in prison. Most of the time, she was on her own, and perhaps Luo Suyun hadn't taken her out to play for a long time.

No matter what, Shu Lulu is still a child, one who should be enjoying a blooming and carefree youth, fully embracing the beauty of her adolescence every day.

Shu Lulu raised both hands with a smile, making a surrender gesture, "Alright, sir, I promise to behave and not get handsy with you. But if you want to get handsy with me, I don't mind at all."

After speaking, Shu Lulu seemed to remember something suddenly. She opened her fringed bag and pulled out a stack of bills, saying, "Oh, right, sir, my mom left me 10,000 yuan when she left. You can keep it."

Looking at the stack of bright red bills, Chu Ge frowned, "What do you mean by this?"

Seeing Chu Ge's displeasure, Shu Lulu quickly explained, "Sir, don't get me wrong. My mom went out, and this money is for me to buy a computer and for living expenses while she's away. You know I'm careless; I'm afraid I'll lose it, so I'm asking you to hold onto it for me."

After hearing Shu Lulu's explanation, Chu Ge finally relaxed his frown, but he still didn't take the 10,000 yuan.

"You're grown up now, you have to leave your mom eventually. If you have to overthink such small matters, what will you do in the future? Don't give it to me, keep it yourself."

Just as Shu Lulu was about to speak, the phone rang first. She dug it out from her bag and saw that it was showing 'The Queen.'

Seeing those four characters, Chu Ge broke into a sweat. If he guessed right, this call should be from Luo Suyun. This little girl is quite funny; who knows what her mom would think if she saw this?

At the same time, he was also a bit curious about how Shu Lulu stored his contact name.

"Mom, have you arrived? Hehe, if you meet a handsome guy who matches you, bring him back for me to check out. I'll help you screen him. Uh-huh, I'm at the sir's house. Huh? You want to speak to him? Okay, hold on a second."

Saying that Shu Lulu handed the phone over to Chu Ge.

Looking at the phone in Shu Lulu's hand, Chu Ge was once again at a loss, but at this moment, he couldn't refuse to answer, so he reluctantly took the phone.

"Ahem, hello?" Chu Ge pretended to clear his throat twice as if his throat had suddenly become a bit uncomfortable, then spoke in a fake voice.

"Hello, is this Mr. Chu, Chu Ge? Let me introduce myself. I am Shu Lulu's mother, my name is Luo Suyun. I heard about you and my Lulu yesterday, really thank you, I don't even know how to express my gratitude."

Upon hearing Luo Suyun's voice again, Chu Ge couldn't help but recall the situation when Luo Suyun called Shu Lulu that day. He really didn't expect that when he was alone with Shu Lulu, he would again have to talk to Luo Suyun right in front of her. Although he hadn't done anything with Shu Lulu, he still felt guilty as if he'd done something wrong.

"Ms. Luo, you're too kind. In fact, I didn't do much, just helped a little. You're Lulu's mother, you must know, she likes to exaggerate things when she talks; you really don't have to thank me or anything."

"Mr. Chu, I heard from my daughter yesterday that you're really nice. Now hearing you say this, I find that she's not lying at all. Really, my daughter is lucky to have met you; it's her good fortune and luck. Actually, I planned to visit you today, but something suddenly came up at work. When I get back to Lidu, I will surely thank you properly in person. You mustn't refuse."

"No need, no need, really no need."

"Mr. Chu, let's not play with formalities here. I'll say it face-to-face when I get back to Lidu. While I'm away, I'd have to trouble you to look after that girl of mine. The signal here isn't that good, so let's leave it at that, okay?"

With a bitter smile in his heart, Chu Ge agreed, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then returned the phone to Shu Lulu. His feelings inside were very complicated; he narrowly escaped the first ordeal, but who knows if he could avoid the next one when Luo Suyun returns?

Also, what kind of mom is this? How can she be so trusting of him, even asking him to look after Shu Lulu?

He's a healthy man after all, doesn't he also react to beautiful women? Although Shu Lulu isn't very old, her figure is already quite good.

On the other side, after speaking a few more words with her daughter, Luo Suyun hung up the phone, but felt puzzled. Why did she feel like this Chu Ge's voice sounded somewhat familiar?

Yet, she couldn't recall where she had heard it before.

Once Shu Lulu and Luo Suyun finished their call, Chu Ge got up from the couch and went to the kitchen to make dinner. Shu Lulu wasn't idle either; she was helping out in a somewhat clumsy but serious manner.

When the meal was almost ready, Shu Lulu went downstairs and bought some cans of beer, under the pretext of celebrating the end of the high school days, but secretly with her own little scheme in mind.

Whether in movies, TV shows, or novels, she's seen too many examples of revealing true feelings after drinking. She knew that when Chu Ge was sober, he definitely wouldn't do anything to her; but if she got Chu Ge drunk, maybe she could deepen their relationship.

Even if she couldn't become Chu Ge's girlfriend afterward, at the very least, she could...ah forget it, let's deal with things as they come.

Holding a bag of beer, Shu Lulu stood in the elevator smiling to herself, thinking, "If something really happens between her and Chu Ge, maybe in the future he wouldn't see her as just a little girl, but as a real woman."
