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!

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
