At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"Okay, no problem! Let's go first then!"

Just as everyone was shocked, Mrs. Lin suddenly received a phone call.

From the other end of the call, a middle-aged man's voice could be heard, obviously Mr. Lin.

"Everyone, Mu Qing still has some business at the company, so he wants us to go ahead to the restaurant and wait for him."

"This afternoon, we discussed holding Dad's birthday ceremony at Chaohai Pavilion, but Wangjiang Pavilion is too far away, and Mu Qing can't make it. How about we switch to a different restaurant?"

"Dad, what do you think?"

Mrs. Lin hesitated for a moment, explained the current situation, and then turned her head to look at Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin didn't have any objections. He wasn't concerned with what they ate or drank for his birthday; he just wanted to use the occasion to gather the family.

"Okay then, since Dad, you have no objections, shall we switch to another one?" Mrs. Lin nodded and looked at everyone again.

Gu Yu subconsciously wanted to suggest going to Linlang Restaurant. After all, it had a nice setting, it was close by, and he had a VIP card, so they wouldn't need to wait in line.

But he opened his mouth and said nothing.

After all, he still hadn't been formally recognized by the Lin Family, and the celebration of Mr. Lin's significant birthday wasn't something an outsider like him could decide.

Even though Mr. Lin seemed quite satisfied with him.

Still, Gu Yu knew he had to understand his limits.

But coincidentally, Lin Dong proposed, "Why don't we go to Linlang Restaurant then? The environment there is good, and my department often goes there for team building."

Lin Dong recommended the restaurant that Gu Yu had wanted to recommend.

Mrs. Lin hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Mr. Lin's expression and after contemplating internally for a few seconds, she nodded.

"Great! Dong's suggestion is pretty good! Linlang Restaurant is also close to our home, convenient for Mu Qing to get there."

Although she hadn't been to Linlang Restaurant, Mrs. Lin knew that it was a famous Black Pearl restaurant in Modu.

It was definitely up to standard for celebrating Mr. Lin's birthday.

Thus, the family made up their mind and then headed downstairs.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The elevator stopped firmly on the first basement level.

"Yu, are you going to ride in Yue'er's uncle's car? It might be a bit cramped."

Mrs. Lin, leading the way, was pushing Mr. Lin's wheelchair, then she pressed the car key, and the headlights of a white BMW M8 Competition Coupé automatically lit up.

It was a four-seated car, but because Mr. Lin's legs weren't convenient, only he could sit in the backseat.

She assumed that Gu Yu had come by subway.

After all, not many young people his age had their own cars.

"No need, I drove here myself."

Gu Yu took out his Audi key, pressed it too, and the headlights of the Audi A8L parked in another corner lit up one by one.

He quickly got into the car, sat in the driver's seat, and drove out.

He didn't want to squeeze into a car with Lin Xinyue's uncle's family, who were known to be somewhat haughty and troublesome.

If he shared a ride with them, they might spend the trip making sarcastic comments about him.

Mrs. Lin looked at Gu Yu's car, somewhat surprised.

"Yu! That's pretty good, owning your own car at such a young age."

Although she didn't understand the models, she could tell at a glance that this was no ordinary car.

She was impressed that Gu Yu, still so young, already had his own car.

Overall, she was becoming more and more satisfied with Gu Yu.

Just as Mrs. Lin was expressing her admiration, Lin Dong's discordant voice rang out again.

"The car is fine, but it's a bit old, a 2013 model that might not last many more years before it has to be scrapped. But it still runs, I guess." Lin Dong said disdainfully.

His family's car was a 2017 Cadillac SUV Escalade, purchased for over 1.4 million, although it couldn't match the A8L's release price.

But at least, it was a new car.

In his eyes, Gu Yu's car was probably a hand-me-down from his family members or possibly a second-hand purchase just to keep up appearances.

Gu Yu rolled up the window and ignored him.

This guy always wants to show off at every moment; it's truly hard to figure out his thought process.

Is this what they call relative rivalry?

Thankfully, thankfully, he doesn't have many aunts...

Lin Dong was somewhat displeased as he didn't get a response from Gu Yu; he had actually wanted to take this opportunity to put Gu Yu down!

But Gu Yu didn't even look at him.

He could only sulk and get into the car.

Gu Yu started the car to leave the underground garage, and just then, someone knocked twice on the passenger door.

He turned his head and immediately smiled when he saw who it was.

It was Lin Xinyue.

Lin Xinyue opened the door and without hesitation sat in the passenger seat beside Gu Yu, then flashed him a giggling smile.

"Why aren't you riding in your mom's car?" Gu Yu asked while checking the rearview mirror.

Lin Xinyue leaned on the dashboard, puffed her cheeks, and acted cute as she said, "I was afraid you'd be bored driving alone~"

A smile appeared on Gu Yu's face, but he said nothing.

Seeing that he was focused on driving, Lin Xinyue didn't disturb him so he wouldn't get distracted, instead she started rummaging through her handbag.

Gu Yu glanced sideways and saw her pulling out a small bunch of papers from her bag, not knowing what they were for.

Looking at the papers in her hands, Lin Xinyue's eyes shaped into crescents.

She tore a paper and then slapped it onto the dashboard in front of her.

It turned out to be a sticker!

It read: Girlfriend's Exclusive Seat. Find adventures at empire

"Hehe! The passenger seat is now my exclusive seat! I won't let any other girls sit here!" she said as she firmly stuck the sticker, then spoke to Gu Yu with a semi-warning tone.

Gu Yu pursed his lips and helplessly said, "You know very well that I don't have any close female friends around."

He felt Lin Xinyue was being overly cautious.

As a straight man with hardly any female friends he could converse with, how could there possibly be any girl in his car?

But Lin Xinyue didn't see it that way, she glared at Gu Yu and said, "There might be none now, but with you being so outstanding, there will definitely be many girls interested in you in the future!"

"I'm just preventing problems before they arise!"

"Hmph! Nobody's taking my boyfriend away!"

Lin Xinyue said, pouting with her arms crossed.

Seeing her a bit angry, Gu Yu quickly changed his tone to reassure her, "That's right! Nobody's taking my girlfriend away either!"

His tone was affirmative, and Lin Xinyue chuckled.

But still playing coy, she said:

"That's not necessarily true~ If you do something behind my back that you shouldn't, I'll definitely run as fast as I can! No matter how you chase, you won't catch me!"

Her eyebrows twitched, waiting to hear what Gu Yu would say in response.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yu once again displayed his clueless prowess.

"No worries! I won't need to run after you; I'll chase you in the car~ No matter how fast you run, you can't outrun a car~" Gu Yu chuckled.

Lin Xinyue was dumbfounded. What kind of a straightforward response was that!

Had her time spent training him been a waste?

She looked at Gu Yu with a mournful expression, wanting to pinch him twice, but seeing that he was driving, she didn't dare to move.

She just propped her chin with her hands and sulked.

Gu Yu sneakily glanced at her and quietly added, "Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will keep chasing you."

His voice was soft, but Lin Xinyue heard him loud and clear.

Her face immediately blushed to her ears.

She whispered softly, "I'll stand still and wait for you to catch up to me."
