Chapter 267: I’d Rather You Call Me Daddy Than Husband

Gu Yifan was mortified!

How was he supposed to respond to what his mom just said?

“Mom~”

“Where are you even going with this?!”

“We didn’t do anything.”

“She just wasn’t used to sleeping there and was scared, so I stayed with her! That’s all!”

Gu Yifan said helplessly.

Chen Dongmei: “…”

‘Who would believe that?!’

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her son.

“Alright, let’s drop it. As long as you two know what you’re doing!”

After a moment’s thought, Chen Dongmei couldn’t resist reminding him again, “If you really can’t hold back… be sure to use protection!”

“…”

‘If you really can’t hold back…’ Gu Yifan was left speechless by her words.

But he didn’t dare say anything. After all, he really had done… some things!

Speaking of which, Su Qinghe had been thoroughly molded into his shape by now.

“Alright, I’m going to go check on that silly Su Hanhan!”

Gu Yifan said, rubbing the tip of his nose.

Without waiting for his mom to say another word, he hung up.

‘What else could I do?!’

‘If I’d stayed on the line, who knows what other shocking things my mom would’ve blurted out!’

But… to be fair, his mom really was progressive!

‘Maybe the reason she suggested I get engaged to my silly Hanhan right after graduation is that she already knew we’d been sleeping together!’

Gu Yifan shook his head. Since his mom already knew, there was no point in dwelling on it.

He went upstairs and back to the bedroom. Su Qinghe was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

She clearly hadn’t recovered from what had just happened.

Hearing a noise, she turned her head to look at the door. She froze for a second when she saw Gu Yifan walk in.

Then, her face turned red again!

‘She must be thinking about her slip of the tongue from before!’

Seeing this silly Hanhan’s bashful expression, Gu Yifan found it amusing!

So he walked over to Su Qinghe’s side.

“Oh, Su Hanhan~”

Gu Yifan said to her.

“Hm~?”

Su Qinghe nodded and hummed in response.

“Isn’t it about time you called me ‘husband’?”

Gu Yifan said, a teasing smirk on his face.

Su Qinghe: “…-_-||”

The moment Gu Yifan’s words fell.

WHOOSH~

Su Qinghe’s already flushed little face instantly turned beet red!

Even her neck flushed a shade of pink!

‘This… this Bully is teasing me again!’

Su Qinghe looked incredibly bashful!

For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer Gu Yifan.

She was at a complete loss!

“Hey, silly Hanhan!”

“We’re about to get engaged. It’s not too much to ask for you to call me ‘husband,’ is it?”

Gu Yifan pressed.

‘She’s definitely going to call me ‘husband’ today!’

‘Otherwise, there’s no way I’m letting her off the hook that easily!’

“I… I…”

Su Qinghe was stammering, unable to get the words out.

“‘I’ what?”

“If you don’t say it, I’m going to get mad!”

Gu Yifan frowned, pretending to be impatient.

Su Qinghe didn’t realize he was just pretending. She thought he was actually angry.

She started to panic.

“D-don’t be mean to me… I’ll say it… I’ll say it, okay?”

Su Qinghe said hurriedly.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Yifan knew the time was right!

So he decided to add a little more fuel to the fire!

“Then say it!”

Gu Yifan said, his expression blank.

“I… I…”

Su Qinghe stammered, finding it hard to spit out the word!

“Hmph??”

Gu Yifan’s brows knitted together as he grunted.

Seeing this, Su Qinghe panicked immediately!

She steeled herself, gritted her teeth, and spoke.

“H-Hubby…”

Su Qinghe whispered weakly, her face beet red with shyness.

Hearing her say it, Gu Yifan felt his entire body melt!

He was so happy he felt like he could fly!

The feeling, the mood, the sheer joy—it was simply beyond words!

“Heh~”

“Hello, wifey~”

Gu Yifan suppressed his soaring mood and replied nonchalantly.

‘Gotta keep up the cool act!’

‘That shameless guy!’

When Gu Yifan said that, Su Qinghe wanted to shrink her head into her neck!

‘That jerk called me his wife… This feels like a dream!’

Su Qinghe felt her head spinning!

SMOOCH (*￣3)(ε￣*)

Just then, seeing her adorably shy appearance, Gu Yifan couldn’t resist planting a kiss on her!

“Ah~”

Su Qinghe was startled by Gu Yifan’s action!

In the next second, a fine layer of goosebumps appeared all over her neck.

It was because he’d hit a sensitive spot!

Gu Yifan looked at Su Qinghe’s reaction and paused for a moment.

‘This Hanhan is a little too sensitive, isn’t she?’

‘No wonder she’s… like she’s made of water whenever we… you know!’

“Su Hanhan, actually, there’s another name I’d like you to call me even more than ‘husband’.”

Gu Yifan said.

“Hm?”

“What is it?”

Su Qinghe asked, confused.

Looking at Su Qinghe’s curious and confused expression, Gu Yifan said calmly:

“Call me ‘Daddy’!”

Su Qinghe: “…-_-||”

「The two-day weekend passed in a flash.」

Gu Yifan and Su Qinghe returned to their daily routine as university students, going to and from classes.

In the classroom, during the ten-minute break between classes, Gu Yifan was messaging Wang Shouren from Yihe Technology. The Madou app was about to officially launch, and Gu Yifan was planning to visit the company soon.

Just then, Wang Shouyi suddenly sidled up to him, a mysterious look on his face. “Brother Fan! I found an amazing treasure at the antique market yesterday, wanna see?”

Before Gu Yifan could even respond, he pulled a string of Buddhist Beads from his pocket.

“Here, Brother Fan, let me tell you, the seller said this treasure of mine was once worn by Master Sanzang himself—you know, Tang Sanzang, the one who journeyed west to get the scriptures! It’s super spiritual!”

Hearing this, Peng Shaoqiang and the others nearby also looked over at his hand, their faces full of curiosity.

Ugh…

Gu Yifan shook his head. With his Master-level Antique Appraisal skill, he could tell with a single glance that the thing couldn’t be more fake!

He looked at the so-called Master Sanzang’s Buddhist Beads in Young Master Bi’s—Wang Shouyi’s—hand, feeling utterly speechless.

The name was certainly impressive, but it was just a modern handicraft. Although it looked the part, it was actually crudely made and artificially aged with very poor workmanship.

Gu Yifan asked helplessly, “Young Master Bi, how much did you spend on these Buddhist Beads?”

“Hehe, Brother Fan, not much, just three thousand yuan!”

“I’m telling you, I used my silver tongue and talked myself hoarse! My mouth was practically dry!”

“It was only then that the stall owner finally agreed to sell it to me for three thousand yuan!”

Young Master Bi, Wang Shouyi, said with a proud expression.

Gu Yifan: “…”
