Chapter 13：Little Aunt

In the kitchen, the kettle was gurgling as it boiled water.

After Lin Wu took out the teapot and the precious tea leaves his father stashed in the cabinet, he glanced again at the living room. He had no idea what his mother and Li Luyao was talking about.

If he didn't remember wrongly, the household register should be placed in the living room's cupboard. It was impossible to steal it now.

However, later on when his mother was making lunch, he would have a chance to take the household register.

"Wu…"

Lin Wu stood before the kettle, waiting for the water to boil. He couldn't help but stretch as he yawned.

Yesterday, he had spent a night on the sofa. Not only had he not slept well, but his entire body was also aching now. Also, he went shopping for so long in the morning. That was why he felt a little sleepy the moment he returned home.

"Brat, why do you look so dead early in the morning?"

At this moment, Mother Lin walked into the kitchen.

Lin Wu wiped away the tears that appeared from his yawn and listlessly spoke, "I didn't sleep well last night."

"I already told you not to stay up late, but you must have done so." Mother Lin glared at her son. She then walked to his side and asked in a low voice, "You and Luyao, is your relationship confirmed?"

"Not yet, it's too quick," Lin Wu casually spoke.

Mother Lin had a strange look on her face as she surveyed her son. She felt as though he wasn't someone given birth by her. She involuntarily clicked her tongue. "Brat, you are pretty awesome. Luyao is so pretty, and she actually takes a fancy to you?"

Lin Wu snorted unhappily. "What's wrong with me? Why can't she fall for me?"

"Isn't it too quick? You only know her for less than a day, and you already brought her back to our home…"

She suddenly stared at Lin Wu in suspicion. "Oh ya, you didn't return last night. What were you doing?"

"I had something on, so I spent the night at a hotel." Lin Wu yawned again.

"What are you doing there for no reason at all? Do you have too much money to burn?" Mother Lin angrily took a wok spatula and knocked Lin Wu on his head.

"Ai, I didn't pay anything. Li Luyao brought me there, so she was the one who paid." Lin Wu hurriedly covered his head.

"You went to a hotel with her?"

Mother Lin was stunned. She then just sighed silently. In the blink of an eye, her son had grown up.

She then knocked the wok spatula on her son's head again and scolded, "You still have the face to say such a thing? Even when going to a hotel, you made a girl pay?"

"Don't hit me, don't hit me."

Lin Wu hurriedly defended. "Actually, my relationship with her is already pretty close. Also, she caused me to be unable to sleep well last night, leading to my entire body aching now. So what if she paid for the hotel room?"

Mother Lin was stunned. She suddenly felt there was a large word on her son's forehead, 'LUST'.

"Brat, I don't need to know all the details." Mother Lin knocked his head again. "You are so young, but you don't know how to control your urges? It's fine if you are a hooligan, but you are even blaming things on a lady like her?"

"What?"

Lin Wu hurriedly evaded while crying out innocently, "Why am I a hooligan? What were you thinking? I didn't do anything to her. Last night, she slept on the bed while I slept on the sofa. This is why I didn't have a good sleep."

"Ah?" Mother Lin started and stopped. "You guys didn't do anything?"

"Yup." Lin Wu helplessly rubbed his head.

Lin Mu was stunned. The spatula in her hand rapped frenziedly on his head again and even more forcefully now. "Are you made of wood? She was already willing to go to a hotel with you, but you still slept on the sofa? If you act like this, how long do I have to wait before I can hug my grandchildren?"

Lin Wu was crying miserably due to getting hit. He then grieved, "I'm not her boyfriend, what can I do?"

Only now did Mother Lin stop. She nodded. "That's right too. Seems like this lady knows how to be restrained."

Lin Wu finally heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he took down the hand covering his head, Mother Lin whacked him again.

"Ai, ai, ai...why are you still hitting me?!" Lin Wu covered his head and scampered off.

Mother Lin mumbled, "If I don't hit you a few more times now, I won't be able to hit after you have a family."

"..." Lin Wu was speechless.

…

…

Very soon, it was already noon, while Mother Lin chatted with this fake daughter-in-law, Li Luyao.

Li Luyao was trembling with fear and trepidation as she handled the questions. Luckily, she had always been well educated. Although she was nervous, she didn't reveal any flaws.

"It's already 11 a.m.." Mother Lin glanced at the time and stood up from the sofa. "Old Lin will be back from school very soon. It's about time to make lunch."

Lin Wu's eyes involuntarily shone.

(The chance is here.)

As long as his mother went into the kitchen, he would have the chance to take the household register.

Just as Mother Lin walked to the kitchen's entrance, she suddenly turned and spoke to Lin Wu, "Oh ya, can you go to the supermarket nearby to purchase some cooked food, as well as one kg worth of mushroom and bamboo shoots. I want to boil them in a soup."

"Me?" Lin Wu was astonished. He laughed dryly. "There's no need for so much trouble, right?"

"I'm not asking you to make lunch, and you are already complaining so much just by asking you to buy some stuff. Stop arguing, quickly go." Mother Lin unhappily glared at her son. Her gaze held a feeling of threat, 'if you still don't go, be prepared to receive some spatula knockings'.

"Oh…"

Usually, Lin Wu who was fierce and shameless was now like an obedient little lamb before his mother. He could only weakly agree.

"Aunty, how about I go to buy the items instead?" Li Luyao knew that Lin Wu needed to find the household register; hence, she took the initiative to stand up.

"No need, you are the guest today. How can we let you help?" Mother Lin smiled and shook her head. She cast another glare at Lin Wu. "Why are you still lazing about on the sofa? Go quickly."

"Alright~"

Lin Wu could only stand up. He shot a glance at Li Luyao and secretly shook the phone in his hand, indicating that he would be texting her later. After that, he walked to the door and wore his shoes.

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Lin Wu glanced through the peephole and involuntarily rolled his eyes. He then opened the door and intentionally called out in a loud voice, "Mom, your younger sister is here to freeload some food!"

Outside the door, there was a woman clad in a fashionable dress. She had a headful of dyed red hair and a pair of shades that most celebrities loved. She was also wearing a pair of high-heels so scary that it was like she hated how tall the heavens were.

"How rude, don't you know how to respect your elders? I just introduced a good partner for you yesterday, so why can't I freeload a meal?" The red-haired woman walked into the house. After taking off her shades, she stared at Lin Wu in an unsatisfactory manner.

"Yes, yes, yes. Hello to little aunt, is your old body still healthy recently?" Lin Wu lazily replied.

"Don't use the word 'old', you are the one who's old. I'm still a teenager." The red-haired woman involuntarily stomped on one of Lin Wu's feet.

"Clang!"

Mother Lin used the spatula and knocked on the kitchen's door as she berated, "The two of you, can't you see there's a guest today? Why are you two arguing? Biting each other the moment you met, don't you two feel that it's embarrassing?"

The two of them didn't say anything after that.

Since the ages of Lin Wu and his little aunt weren't that far apart, the two of them would often bicker ever since they were young. They had also fought several times. But the moment Mother Lin, this tyrannical family matriarch, said something, the fight would instantly cease to exist.

Li Luyao also walked out of the living room. After she saw Lin Wu's little aunt, she smiled. "Sis He Bi."

She had long since known that Lin Wu's little aunt 'He Bi' was a dentist. This was why she purposely had gone to He Bi's clinic to check her teeth. After spending a lot of money and becoming a big client, she would then be able to become friends with He Bi easily.

It was also precisely because of this that she had managed to get a blind date with Lin Wu yesterday.

"Ah, Luyao. Earlier, when I heard my sister saying this, I still didn't dare to believe." Lin Wu's little aunt, He Bi, didn't even remove her shoes and quickly walked towards Li Luyao. She intentionally acted very shocked, "Don't tell me you really fell for this brat?"

Li Luyao forcefully smiled, "We just got acquainted. We are merely friends…"

"In that case, I have to properly tell you more things about the brat so you can have a deeper understanding of him." Little aunt He Bi quickly pulled Li Luyao's arm and led her back to the living room.

Lin Wu didn't really care, he couldn't be bothered with whatever bad things about him his little aunt was telling Li Luyao. In any case, his relationship with Li Luyao wasn't that of an ordinary couple. He wasn't afraid that their relationship would be destroyed.

"Mom, I'm going out to buy the ingredients."

Lin Wu called out and exited his house. He then walked to the side to wait for the lift.

Very soon, the lift came up.

After the door opened, he entered quickly and directly pressed the button for the first floor.

However, the lift's doors trembled slightly as though there was something blocking it. They didn't close.

"Mn?"

Lin Wei started slightly. He pressed the close button again. Only then did the lift's doors slowly closed.

"There's a problem with this lift…"

Lin Wu shook his head. He also didn't think too much and took out his phone as he quickly texted Li Luyao. "The household register is at the second-layer of the cabinet next to the television in the living room. Find a chance and take it out."
