Qin Hanyu: Remember to Bring Your Mom to the Parent Meeting

Lin Luo immediately put down his teacup and rushed out, leaping onto the carriage in a few quick movements, lifting the curtain, and slipping inside.

Inside the carriage, Qian Renxue, dressed as a woman, was expressionless, her emotions unknown.

Upon seeing Lin Luo, she slowly raised her head, her expression frozen for two or three seconds, before suddenly smiling and opening her arms wide, "I succeeded!"

Okay, okay, you've learned how to surprise people now, haven't you?

Qian Renxue happily hugged her son and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "This matter is finally settled."

Lin Luo asked curiously, "What process?"

Qian Renxue then released her son, raised her eyes with a strange expression, and said awkwardly, "Ye Lingling... has long suspected that I am a woman."

"Ah????"

Lin Luo truly hadn't expected this result.

He was shocked.

Seeing her son's surprised reaction, Qian Renxue was somewhat satisfied and less embarrassed. She continued, "I had the same expression back then."

Lin Luo frowned. "No... when did you start to suspect it?"

Qian Renxue placed her hands on her knees and said shyly, "After the first time I took her shopping, she said she'd thought I was effeminate ever since..."

"Puff!"

Lin Luo couldn't help but say that.

"Don't laugh." Qian Renxue her eyes at her son, explaining, "I couldn't help it. It's all your fault. I've almost forgotten what it felt like to be a man. Besides, the atmosphere with Ye Lingling was quite relaxed, so I didn't pay attention to the details."

Lin Luo twitched his lips and said, "So, for the next few days when you two were so close, she treated you like a woman?"

At this point, Qian Renxue's expression became even more awkward, as if she was somewhat unwilling to speak.

Lin Luo's curiosity was completely piqued, and he immediately pushed her knees, saying, "Tell me!"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes and said, "She said I have a motherly feel to me, and it's very comfortable to be around me..."

"Puff!"

Lin Luo couldn't hold back for the second time.

"I told you not to laugh!" Qian Renxue said sternly.

Lin Luo immediately pursed her lips.

Was this maternal love overflowing? Even Ye Lingling could feel it.

Qian Renxue continued, "After I admitted it to her, I also explained the cooperation plan. She said she needed time to consider it and would give me an answer tomorrow."

Lin Luo narrowed his eyes. "Will she expose you?"

Qian Renxue shook her head. "No."

"Are you so sure?"

Qian Renxue nodded. "She had no reason to refuse the benefits I promised, and she said that the moment I took the initiative to admit my gender, she genuinely considered me a true friend."

Lin Luo: "The premise of friendship is mutual honesty, and she feels you've achieved that."

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "That's right."

Therefore, Ye Lingling's decision to reply tomorrow is probably just a matter of needing some buffer time, but the final result will be the same.

The next day.

Lin Luo was eating with her classmates in the cafeteria when Ye Lingling arrived. She looked perfectly normal and simply waved to Lin Luo, indicating that they should speak alone.

After Lin Luo left, Xue Ke immediately lost her appetite.

She said, utterly dejectedly, "Now we even have to talk to each other in private..."

Xue Qian picked up a piece of meat for her and comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry about it."

After saying that, Xue Ke noticed that Xue Qian was constantly stealing food from Lin Luo's plate, which his sister had just put on Lin Luo's plate.

Xue Ke scoffed, "Xue Qian himself hasn't come to terms with it, yet you're telling her to?"

Lin Luo sat down opposite Ye Lingling, who asked earnestly, "You should know about our situation, right? I mean, our cooperation."

Lin Luo nodded.

Ye Lingling then spoke with relief, "That's good. I came here to tell you that I promised His Highness the Crown Prince... she should be considered your mother?"

It seems Ye Lingling doesn't know that I'm actually Qian Renxue's biological daughter, and still thinks I'm adopted.

Lin Luo: "Okay, I'll tell her."

Ye Lingling nodded, looked Lin Luo up and down, then suddenly laughed and asked a lighthearted question, "By the way, do you know what she really looks like? If this question is offensive, just pretend I didn't ask."

"I know."

Ye Lingling smiled, resting her chin on her hands. "Let me guess, she must be a very gentle-looking, comfortable older sister, right?"

Lin Luo asked curiously, "So what are your feelings for her now?"

Ye Lingling's face stiffened.

She was indeed captivated by the Crown Prince's demeanor and appearance before, but now... she just sees him as a very comfortable older sister to be around.

Ye Lingling pondered, "I don't know... but she must be a good mother, right?"

Lin Luo smiled without saying a word.

After leaving the cafeteria, Lin Luo noticed that Xue Ke was staring at him Youyou. Clearly, she wanted to know what they had just talked about, but dared not ask because of his intimidating presence.

Give up, silly princess! Your crown prince brother is a woman, and a girl just broke up with her because of it. Do you want to follow in her footsteps?

However, Ye Lingling is smart and managed to have a peaceful breakup, while you would probably just become withdrawn.

The five members of the group returned to their seats in Class One, and soon after, Qin Hanyu walked in.

She slammed her books on the podium and said coldly, "Students, the rules for entering the junior academy are the same old traditions. In three days, it will be the day for etiquette education. Remember to bring your mothers so you can go to the Moonlight Pavilion to learn basic etiquette and manners for children. After all, this is Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, not some rough and tumble class."

At this point, the entire class erupted in an uproar, with a deafening murmur of discussion.

School has only been in session for a short while, and they're already asking parents to come in?

Lin Luo's first reaction was to ask her mother to come over. Which mother?

Is my newly adopted stepmother or my biological mother?

"Director!"

Xue Qian suddenly raised his hand seriously.

Qin Hanyu: "Speak."

Xue Qian stood up, looking troubled. "My sister and I have the same mother. What can we do? We can't separate our mothers."

Qin Hanyu was speechless.

"Your situation is special, so both of you should bring the same mother. Both mother and child need to learn etiquette; nothing can be neglected."

Xiong Chumo also raised her hand. "Director, my mother is dead."

"Ah, your mother is dead, your mother, your mother..." Qin Hanyu was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond to this question.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any female relatives? Could you bring one along for convenience?"

Xiong Chumo racked her brains, thinking that the only thing she could do was to ask Bi Ji or Zi JI to come over.

At this point, Qin Hanyu seemed to remember something, looked at Lin Luo, and said, "Oh right, Lin Luo, you don't seem to have a mother either, right?"

Lin Luo immediately glared at him. "You're the one who doesn't have a mother."

"..." Qin Hanyu was taken aback and dared not retort, thinking that this might have touched a sore spot for her master.

She explained, "If it's inconvenient for you, you can find a palace maid to substitute. There will be some parent-child interactive activities, so you'll need at least two people..."

Thinking about this, she thought to herself, "What a nuisance."

Six-year-olds are always making a fuss, junior high school is always making a fuss. These kids probably know more than she does, so why bother learning any enlightenment etiquette?
