Chapter 93 - 92: I Just Want to Give Them a Home

Chapter 93: Chapter 92: I Just Want to Give Them a Home

The three of them left.

Gao Yuan drove the Brabus G900 straight into the city.

Luckily, it wasn’t rush hour yet. Not only was there no traffic, but it was also relatively easy to find parking in front of the breakfast shop.

Otherwise, with the size of the Brabus G900, it would have been a real hassle.

Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing had never tried spicy pepper soup before. It was their first time having this kind of breakfast, and the aroma made their mouths water.

Spicy pepper soup, fried bread rolls, pan-fried buns, and a small dish of shredded pickled mustard greens.

The two women savored the simple but delicious breakfast.

Back at the hotel, Lin Wanyu showed Gao Yuan a video.

In the video, an influencer was recommending a hot spring in Xudu City.

"Hey, you know, we both brought our swimsuits~"

"Want a chance to treat us to a hot spring?"

Gao Yuan’s eyes lit up at the suggestion.

"On a cold day like this, a hot spring is the perfect idea."

"Then what are we waiting for! Let’s go!"

Lin Wanyu excitedly started packing her luggage.

Since they were going to a hot spring, they definitely wouldn’t be coming back tonight. After all, what was the point of just going for a quick dip?

As Lin Wanyu was packing, Gao Yuan noticed that aside from one or two thick pieces of clothing, her suitcase was filled with nothing but swimsuits.

And there was a complete range of styles and patterns. Gao Yuan especially noticed quite a few bikinis.

’Gao Yuan’s mind began to quietly run wild with fantasies.’

After she finished packing, Lin Wanyu urged Gao Yuan to leave, but he told her about his father’s invitation.

So, they would have to wait until the afternoon to go to the hot spring.

Lin Wanyu naturally understood the importance of the lunch; this was her formally meeting his parents.

So she didn’t press the issue of the hot spring, and the three of them continued to play Fight the Landlord in their room.

Around eleven o’clock, Gao Yuan took them to his home to pick up Gao Jianmin and Huang Xiuxia.

During the meal, the old couple once again showed how much they liked Lin Wanyu, constantly putting more food on her plate.

Even though she couldn’t finish it all, she happily held up her plate to accept it every time.

It was then that Huang Xiuxia noticed Li Mengqing, who was sitting next to Gao Yuan, was constantly putting food on his plate.

Every time Gao Yuan finished what was on his plate, she would pick out a different dish for him.

That, combined with the way Li Mengqing looked at Gao Yuan, left Huang Xiuxia feeling very conflicted. She thought for a long time, hesitating over whether to ask.

As the meal was ending, Gao Yuan stood up to go pay the bill. Huang Xiuxia immediately followed him out, stopped him, and couldn’t help but ask:

"Son, are you what they call a ’scumbag’ online?"

His mom’s words struck Gao Yuan like a bolt from the blue.

If anyone else had asked that question, he could have just told them he was a scumbag, but with his own mother asking, he really didn’t know how to answer.

’Is he a scumbag?’

’If you define a scumbag as a man who’s with several women at once, then yes, he’s a scumbag.’

’But he was genuinely invested in both Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing; he wasn’t just playing around with them.’

[Ding! Charming Uncle - Scumbag Quest 1.0 has begun!]

[Quest: Become a new-age scumbag with principles, love, and warmth.]

[Quest Reward 1: Low-Tier Flirt Card x1 (Single Use).]

[Quest Reward 2: 3 EXP.]

"Whoa!"

Gao Yuan hadn’t even come to a conclusion about himself, and the System had already slapped him with the "scumbag" label.

Now that a quest had appeared, Gao Yuan stopped agonizing over it and said directly to Huang Xiuxia, "Mom, in the past, transportation was slow, so a lifetime was only long enough to love one person."

"Now, in the 5G era, information travels fast. I just have a strong sense of responsibility and want to give them both a home."

Huang Xiuxia was nodding along to Gao Yuan’s first sentence, but when she heard the second part, she was so angry she wanted to hit him.

"Well, your heart must be huge to be able to fit two wonderful girls like them!"

Huang Xiuxia retorted irritably at her son.

"Of course it is!"

"The more capable one is, the more one should do!"

"Besides, my heart can be divided into many pieces, and every piece I give them is genuine!"

Hearing Gao Yuan’s twisted logic, Huang Xiuxia laughed in exasperation.

But Gao Yuan was her own son, after all. No one else in her life was more important.

Thinking about how her son was now a rich man, she couldn’t help but sigh.

"Forget it. I won’t meddle. The younger generation will find their own way!"

"Those two girls are fortunate to be with you!"

Now it was Gao Yuan’s turn to stare at his mother in astonishment.

He originally thought his mother was going to condemn him, but he never expected such a wild plot twist from her!

’Indeed,’

’the term ’double standard’ really depends on who’s using it, where, and how.’

’Coming from his mom, Gao Yuan felt that ’double standard’ was a term of praise.’

...

Back in the restaurant.

Gao Yuan sat down next to Lin Wanyu and continued eating with them.

But now, his mind was completely captivated by the System’s quest reward.

The System could even generate a quest from such a mundane get-together.

Especially this Low-Tier Flirt Card; the System’s explanation for it was quite interesting.

Originally, Gao Yuan understood "flirt" to mean simply enhancing the atmosphere, but after reading the description, he realized he was wrong.

Low-Tier Flirt Card: After use on a member of the opposite sex, will produce an unexpected effect, ignoring environmental factors.

Seeing the description, Gao Yuan completely understood.

’This isn’t a Flirt Card!’

’This is basically a ’head-rush’ card. As they say, when emotions run deep, nature takes its course.’

’That’s actually pretty useful. A little catalyst at the right moment, and everything will just happen naturally.’

...

「Huadu Hot Spring Resort, Xudu City.」

On the way there, he had listened to Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing discussing which swimsuits to wear, which made him burn with excitement. He nearly floored the accelerator.

Gao Yuan had booked a private courtyard built over Swan Lake, which came with its own exclusive, private hot spring pool.

Selfish as he was, Gao Yuan wasn’t about to let anyone else see the two women’s swimsuit show.

’If they went to a public place, they had to dress modestly and conservatively. Their sexiness was for his eyes only!’

The weather in Xudu City had been getting colder and colder lately. Soaking in a hot spring at a time like this was sheer bliss.

What’s more, he was with two stunningly beautiful women!

After getting to his room, Gao Yuan quickly changed into his swim trunks, threw on a bathrobe, and went outside.

’If he wasn’t proactive at a time like this, he’d be a real idiot.’

After he left the room, Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing started to change, a process that took them over twenty minutes.

The reason the two women were taking so long was that they had both brought several swimsuits and were now trying to pick which ones to wear.

This was especially true for Li Mengqing, whose swimsuits were all conservative. She tried on several, but Lin Wanyu was not satisfied with any of them.

In the end, Lin Wanyu just handed Li Mengqing her own most conservative swimsuit.

But even Lin Wanyu’s most conservative swimsuit seemed too revealing to Li Mengqing.

However, seeing Lin Wanyu with her hands on her hips, glaring like a foreman, she could only obediently change into it.

By the outdoor hot spring pool.

Gao Yuan didn’t rush them. He was content to brew tea and slice fruit by the side of the pool.

He was lying in the hot spring, just finishing his first steep of Maojian tea, when a burst of bright laughter came from the doorway of the room.
