My Villain Is Super Sweet (GL) - CHAPTER 24

Forced to become customer service, dealing with a mountain of inquiries from schoolmates, having to painstakingly unify the script, and the roommates’ angry shouts as they all try to fool everyone—Gu Qingci was destined not to hear any of it.

Back at the Yu Garden, it was already nearly six-thirty. Lin Lang took Gu Qingci back to the top floor. Gu Qingci went to take a shower and change clothes first, while she organized Gu Qingci’s luggage one by one.

Cosmetics and skincare products are neatly arranged on the vanity, clean clothes are put into the wardrobe, clothes that need dry cleaning are packed up and an order is placed online for someone to pick them up, and clothes that can be machine washed are stuffed into the washing machine and started…

Busy with work, Gu Minglan opened the door and walked in.
Seeing Lin Lang organizing Gu Qingci’s things, Gu Minglan was startled, his eyelids twitching: “Xiao Lang, stop busying yourself, hurry back and wash up, we’ll eat together later.” “Xiao Lang, stop what you’re doing and go wash up quickly. We’ll have dinner together soon.”

Lin Lang was not at all flustered, calmly greeted Gu Minglan, and wrapped up the task at hand: “Aunt Gu, it’s nothing, just a little something, I’ll be done in a moment.” “Gu Aunty, it’s nothing, just a little task, I’ll be done in a moment.”

Gu Minglan was very worried; how did her daughter become like this? Seizing every opportunity, she makes people work hard for her.
Lin Lang is her assistant, not a housekeeper at home!

Moreover, how could they treat her like this after Lin Lang had helped them so much?

She was over here reflecting on whether her family education had failed, while over there, Lin Lang was already quickly tidying everything up, even wiping the suitcase until it was spotless.

Rationally, she knew it was time to take her leave, but emotionally, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

At least wait for Gu Qingci to finish her bath and come out to say something; otherwise, the young lady might not be happy.

The two, each with their own thoughts, unexpectedly agreed to wait for Gu Qingci to come out.

Just at that moment, Gu Qingci finished his shower, wrapped in a bathrobe, drying his hair. Without even looking, he poked his head out from the bathroom in the master bedroom and called out, “Lin Lang, come help me…”

Before she could finish her sentence, her dear mother interrupted her, asking very gently, “What do you need Lin Lang’s help with? Mom will help you!”

Gu Qingci: ……

She not only swallowed the words “blow-dry” that were on the tip of her tongue but also shrank back with a guilty conscience!
Oh no! Why is Mom here now?!

No wonder they said to have dinner together in the evening. It turns out that Mom has been living here for a while, so naturally, the aunt who takes care of the house and cooks is also here.

She had just pulled back when she immediately realized something was off. Cautiously and stealthily, she peeked out again, giving her mother a fawning smile and softly calling, “Mom.”

The sugar content is extremely high!

Lin Lang found it amusing and subtly came to her rescue: “Aunt Gu, Qingci, I’ll head back first.”

Gu Minglan gave her daughter a “I’ll deal with you later” look.

Turning her face, she said kindly and affectionately, “Thank you for taking care of Qingci during this time. Remember to come up for dinner later.”

“Not at all, it was Qingci who took care of me and showed me a lot.” Lin Lang naturally wanted to give some credit to Gu Qingci and flatter Gu Minglan: “Qingci is really amazing. She managed to handle projects worth over a hundred million all on her own. Aunt Gu, you taught her so well.”

This wave of rainbow P made Gu Minglan feel relaxed both physically and mentally. Looking at Lin Lang on the left was pleasing to the eye, and looking at Lin Lang on the right was heartwarming. She felt so happy that even the thought of sternly criticizing Gu Qingci faded away.

It may have faded, but after Lin Lang picked up her backpack and went downstairs, Gu Minglan first dried her daughter’s hair and then poked her forehead: “You, how can you treat Lin Lang like this?”

Gu Qingci opened her mouth, wanting to say that she would love for me to give her more tasks.

However, this can’t be said!

Her eyes flickered, she nervously tugged at her hair, mumbling, “She won’t mind anyway.”

Gu Minglan found it amusing and rubbed her head: “She doesn’t mind; that’s her good temper. But you can’t just take advantage of her good nature and bully her.”

Gu Qingci thought to herself, if Lin Lang wanted to pursue her, how could he not be extra attentive? How could this be considered bullying? Clearly, it was just flirtation!

But she couldn’t really explain the true reason. At a loss for words, she pouted her lips and, like a child, squeezed tightly into Gu Minglan’s arms, using her best pouty face to act like a spoiled child: “No, no, that’s not true. I’ve been good to her!”

Allowing her to get close, tacitly permitting her to pursue him, even hugging her back and forth—whoever is at a disadvantage, it’s not Lin Lang!

Hmm, thinking about it this way, why does it seem like I’m the one at a disadvantage?

Gu Minglan scolded her daughter as she should, but when her daughter clung to her and acted cute, she couldn’t bear to say anything harsh and could only helplessly chide, “You.”

Gu Qingci gave her mother a sweet smile.

Mom don’t blame me, Lin Lang can be even more attentive, really!

After being clingy with her mother for a while, Gu Qingci felt cold and went back to her room to change out of her bathrobe and into her loungewear. While changing clothes, a thought kept swirling in her mind.

Let her uncontrollably spread her wings and wildly test the limits at the edge of danger.

“Mom, you like Lin Lang so much, do you want her to be your daughter?”

Gu Minglan was taken aback, scrutinizing his daughter as if in a trance, lost in thought.

Is it because you often praise Lin Lang in front of your daughter, and now you’re feeling jealous?

But with my daughter acting like this, looking obedient and seemingly unfazed, yet nervously fidgeting with her fingers, it really makes me want to tease her a bit.

She put on a serious expression and pondered, “Hmm, well, Lin Lang is indeed quite good. Anything you assign to her. She can handle it perfectly. She’s also very considerate…”

Gu Minglan recounted Lin Lang’s merits one by one. Gu Qingci was secretly pleased in her heart; since her mother liked Lin Lang so much, she probably wouldn’t strongly oppose if they ended up together in the future, right?

Just listening to it, this joy, it just turned sour.

What do you mean, you really want Lin Lang to be your daughter? Are you that satisfied? What about me?

Seeing that Gu Qingci was about to throw a little tantrum, Gu Minglan stopped her frenzied praise of Lin Lang.

If you keep praising her, our daughter is going to start causing a scene!

She sighed, holding back a laugh: “But no matter how good Lin Lang is, he can’t compare to our girl.”

“Of course, Mom loves you the most, and you’re her only daughter.”
Gu Qingci was instantly flattered. She nodded proudly, yes! No matter how good Lin Lang is, he can’t surpass her in her mother’s heart!

I haven’t seen my mom for almost a year, and Gu Qingci is particularly clingy to her.

By the time evening came, after Gu Minglan went to sleep in the opposite room, Gu Qingci suddenly realized, “Hey, Lin Lang isn’t here!”

Habits are truly a terrifying thing. When she was alone, without Lin Lang by her side, she felt empty.

She tossed and turned in bed, turned on her phone screen several times, but in the end, she still gave up.

Mom lives right across the hall, which is one reason.
If Mom comes over the next morning and finds Lin Lang there too, it would be a major social disaster. Even trying to make up an excuse would be impossible.

Another reason is that it was fine before, but now if we still call her up, it always feels like there’s too much implication.
What if Lin Lang misunderstands…

Forget it.

Just as I was thinking this, I received a message from Lin Lang.

“Are you asleep?”

“Miss me?”

“I really miss you.”

Gu Qingci: ……

Shut up, shut up, shut up! If you keep tempting her like this, she won’t be able to resist!

This guy really doesn’t play fair. We clearly agreed to treat each other the same as before, so why does he keep throwing straight pitches at her?

She replied angrily.

“Sleeping.”

“I don’t want to.”

Lin Lang replied very quickly.

“Can we do a video call?”

“Let me take a look at you.”

“I always feel like we’ve been apart for a long time.”

The young lady seemed to reluctantly agree. As soon as the video call connected, she complained in a soft, delicate voice, “You’re so annoying, weren’t we just having dinner together?”
Where have we been apart for so long!

“One day apart feels like three autumns. Just count, we’ve been apart for almost four hours. By that calculation, it feels like we’ve been apart for a month and a half.”

The young lady was pleased and happily talked to Lin Lang.

Little did they know, Lin Lang had been regretting it in her heart all along.

Who would have thought that the lovesick Gu Minglan would directly move in right across from her daughter, bringing even the aunt along?

Otherwise, the young lady will summon her to come and serve her in the middle of the night, just like last year.

Thinking about it, it’s really such a pity.

After all, in ten days, the young lady will be returning to school to continue her studies. If we don’t take advantage of her being in the country to get closer to her, making her accustomed to our physical intimacy, how can we quickly and effectively influence her, corrupt her, and lead her astray?

During the three-day New Year’s holiday, Lin Lang and Gu Qingci, right under Gu Minglan’s nose, felt like they were having an affair, sneaking in some intimate little gestures whenever they could.

The only exception was probably the evening of the 31st, when Lin Lang and Gu Qingci used the excuse of celebrating New Year’s Eve with friends to finally go out on a proper date.

By the time the holiday was over, and it was time to go back to work, Gu Qingci was even more dumbfounded.

Her mom went to work, so Lin Lang naturally went to work too.

Her mother canceled many social engagements to spend more time at home with her daughter. But if she doesn’t go, someone else must be arranged to go in her place, right?

As one of the assistants, Lin Lang naturally became one of the candidates to replace her in social engagements.

Gu Qingci: ……

I’m so angry!

She wants both the fish and the bear’s paw!

She pondered for a few days and came up with a super awesome solution.

Just in time, Mr. Luo finally couldn’t hold out any longer and relented. He agreed to her terms, exchanging the EF8 independent laboratory, including all the current achievements and content of the project research, as well as the laboratory team members, for the equity she holds.

Gu Qingci was overjoyed, “Ah, isn’t this a great opportunity!”

Bouncing over to her mom, she said, “Mom, can we talk about something?”

Gu Minglan put down the book in her hands: “What are we discussing?”

Gu Qingci leaned on her: “I secured that project in Jing City. You see, I haven’t graduated yet, so I really need someone reliable and capable to keep an eye on things for me.”

Gu Minglan: ……

Just give Lin Lang’s ID number directly!

She straightened up and said, “You want Lin Lang?”
Clearly, her words were as serious as ever, asking if Gu Qingci wanted to poach Lin Lang to temporarily manage the projects in the capital for her.

Unfortunately, Gu Qingci had a guilty conscience. Upon hearing this, he couldn’t control his thoughts and rushed down the wrong path.

Suddenly, my mind started to wander.

She swallowed hard, her face flushed, her ears burning, and nodded vigorously, “I want it!”
