He Yishu subconsciously straightened his spine, then he saw Arman walk out from behind the door, who spoke with a soft smile, “Since you’re already here, why don’t you go in? Adrian, your mother is waiting inside.”
Adrian took He Yishu’s hand and gently squeezed it; at the same time, he said to Arman, “Father, Xiao Shu personally prepared a lot of gifts for mother and you; can you ask the robots at home to come out and carry them?”
“To come home and even prepare gifts, Xiao Yishu is too polite, but it makes me very happy,” Arman amiably waved his hand towards He Yishu. “Come in quickly; leave the carrying of the gifts to the robot.”
He Yishu nodded and was led inside by Adrian. As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw the woman who was sitting on the sofa; that should be Adrian’s mother.
Seeing them walk in, Winnie had also slowly stood up from the sofa; to be honest, even though she was Adrian’s mother and the elder of these two people, she was still a little apprehensive.
Although she had already learned about Elisa’s true colors through a certain incident before and had also no longer intended to let her son have anything to do with her, at that time, Winnie also didn’t approve of the feelings between Adrian and He Yishu.
Out of concern for her son, she had also investigated He Yishu’s information, and after seeing the other party’s mental energy level, as well as the fact that he had already severed his relationship with his family, Winnie’s feelings towards He Yishu were not good.
But after experiencing the matter of Elisa, she didn’t think it’d be good to interfere too much in Adrian’s personal feelings. It was for this reason that although she didn’t agree with this matter, she also didn’t raise any objections.
Winnie’s original intention was, on one hand, to let Adrian gradually realize that He Yishu wasn’t suitable for him through a period of time spent together.
On the other hand, she also wanted to wait for Elisa’s situation to cool down before she communicated with Adrian to let him know her attitude and opinion.
However, what Winnie never expected was that in just a few short months, He Yishu had already made a splash at this session of the Mecha Competition and had even become a famous figure in the Rune Card world and even in the entire Interstellar Empire.
At first, Winnie was completely incredulous about the huge transformation that had happened to He Yishu. She didn’t expect this child to be so outstanding and suddenly felt that Adrian was not worthy of him. What could she do?
In addition, the social status of He Yishu had indeed undergone earthshattering changes in this short period of time, which made Winnie very worried that he may really lose his respect for her son.
The huge reversal in her thoughts fundamentally changed Winnie’s view on the relationship between Adrian and He Yishu. She began to seriously consider how to help her son when he was clearly not worthy of the other.
With this idea in mind, Winnie hinted several times to Adrian that she wanted to meet He Yishu, but Adrian directly evaded her.
Although Winnie was helpless, she was also very clear that Adrian’s attitude was entirely because she had indeed done something wrong before, so Winnie did not dare to force it.
Until recently, she learned from her husband’s mouth that He Yishu had actually created a kind of Rune card that could heal a human’s mental domain, which made Winnie completely unable to sit still.
According to the current trend, He Yishu’s fame and reputation would soon break through the universe; if she didn’t work harder, would her son still be able to keep him?
With this thought in mind, after seeing He Yishu standing in front of her, Winnie stood up and said in an exceptionally kind voice, “Xiao Yishu, you’re here; quickly sit down. This is your first time coming home; don’t be polite.”
He Yishu was a bit confused, feeling that the reality was completely inconsistent with the script he had thought of and could even be said to be the complete opposite. “Thank you, Auntie.”
After sitting down, Winnie pulled He Yishu to ask about some of his problems, and from the beginning to the end, her attitude was extraordinarily amiable, as if he were Winnie’s own son, while Adrian was pitifully thrown to the side.
In this regard, Adrian was a little surprised; he had been worried that his mother would do something to make things difficult for Xiao Yishu; now it seemed that he had been overly concerned.
But… why did he remember that usually when him and his mother got along, she wasn’t that gentle?
Due to the heavenly difference in the way he was treated, He Yishu was initially a bit squirmy but slowly relaxed.
After the four of them chatted very happily for nearly an hour, Winnie suddenly slapped her hand on the chair and said as if she suddenly remembered something: “I was just focusing on chatting with Xiao Shu; I forgot about dinner, Adrian. Go tell the robots to bring out the meals from the kitchen.”
After saying that, Winnie turned her head to look at He Yishu: “It’s a dish I just learned recently; I might not do it well; don’t mind, Xiao Shu.”
Arman smiled at the side and said, “Knowing that you’re coming, Winnie has been thinking about what to prepare for lunch since early morning, and she seldom cooks herself.”
“Thank you, Auntie; as long as it’s cooked by Auntie, it must be very delicious; it’s just that this is really too much trouble for Auntie.” He Yishu’s eyebrows couldn’t help but jump a little; he didn’t expect that Adrian’s mother would personally cook for him; after all, in the interstellar era, robots that could cook had long been created, and the meals made by robots tasted pretty good, so there were already very few people who would choose to cook in their own kitchen.
Adrian helplessly got up and went to the kitchen. Taking advantage of this gap, Winnie suddenly pulled up. He held Yishu’s hand and solemnly said, “Xiao Shu, Adrian’s personality is the same as his father’s; he doesn’t know how to be romantic at all; it’s really hard for you to be with him.”
This kind of tone, as if entrusting her son to him, startled He Yishu: “No, Adrian is very good; he treats me very well too.”
“Auntie is happy that you are willing to tolerate him like this, but if Adrian dares to bully you in the future, you must tell me and see how I will teach him a lesson.” Winnie said this with her mouth, but in her heart, she thought, Son, mom can only help you so far.
Adrian walked out from the kitchen just in time to hear these words and couldn’t help but open his mouth to defend himself: “Mother, you’ve wronged me; when I’m with Xiao Yishu, I listen to him in almost everything.”
“That’s what you should do; Xiao Shu is so knowledgeable. The choices he makes must all be right. Do you still want to object?” Winnie glanced at Adrian without any sense of guilt, then enthusiastically pulled He Yishu onto the dining table. “Xiao Shu quickly taste Auntie’s cooking.”
He Yishu swept a glance at the table full of food, nodded with a smile, and then took a piece of crispy bamboo shoots from the plate closest to him and put it into his mouth. After chewing it twice, he praised: “It’s very tasty; Auntie’s craftsmanship is really good.”
Winnie immediately smiled, “If you think it’s good, eat more, and Auntie can make it for you more often in the future.”
He Yishu could only lower his head and continue to eat the food. Adrian and Arman, who were sitting beside him, exchanged a glance, and both of them read a hint of helplessness in each other’s eyes. Today’s mother (wife) seemed to be too abnormal.
However, this was considered a good thing, so neither father nor son pointed this out; instead, they happily watched from the sidelines.
After finishing lunch, Winnie didn’t directly let He Yishu leave. Instead, she started to open the huge pile of gifts he brought in front of him.
“Xiao Shu, you’re just too thoughtful. I’ve always loved coffee, and this brand you bought is exactly my favorite.” Winnie would sincerely praise him with a few words for every gift she unwrapped. “This dress also looks very nice; I like it a lot. If I wear it to work, my coworkers will definitely be very envious of me. And this set of cosmetics, I’ve wanted to buy them for a long time.”
Although all these praises were for him, He Yishu felt a bit embarrassed because he also felt that Adrian’s mother was acting a bit too enthusiastic, which was completely inconsistent with his first impression of her, okay?
But it was better than her just kicking him out, He Yishu was able to act more naturally by reassuring himself like this.
By the time Winnie finally unwrapped all the gifts and praised them seriously, it was already more than an hour later.
Then, He Yishu was finally able to leave with Adrian under Winnie’s eager escort, and after getting on the airship, He Yishu let out a long sigh of relief: “Adrian, your mother was too enthusiastic; although it’s a good thing, I really couldn’t handle it.”
“She’s not usually like this; maybe she’s just too happy to see you,” Adrian smiled and rubbed He Yishu’s head, flirtatiously saying, “Moreover, mother just said that she hopes you’ll visit her home more often in the future, and it’s best if you go over to try her cooking every weekend. Such words, mother has never said that to me before.”
He Yishu stuck out his tongue and was about to say something else when the light device suddenly rang, and he looked down to see that he had received a letter.
Clicking on the letter, He Yishu’s expression instantly became serious as he once again received a strange letter.
[I’ve been paying attention to you for a long time, and now I’m getting more and more interested in you. You’re such a mesmerizing little cutie, so… let’s make a game out of it, shall we?]
