My Villain Is Super Sweet (GL) - CHAPTER 61

As Gu Qingci and Lin Lang walked in together, appearing before her eyes, Gu Minglan felt a sharp pang in her heart.

If it weren’t for her personal motto—Stay calm in times of crisis—she would have flipped the table right then and there, grabbed her daughter, and given her a proper beating!

Seriously?!
Is this how you repay your dear mother?!

You take advantage of the fact that I’m old-fashioned, that I never even considered same-s3x relationships, and then you run wild right under my nose?!
Bringing your beloved over time and time again, parading her in front of me while I’m completely clueless?!

Moving in with her under the excuse of “being worried about me” and “wanting to spend more time together”?!

Pretending to take the high road while secretly making moves.

Unbelievable! What a “filial” daughter I have!

Meanwhile, Gu Qingci was completely unaware that, in her mother’s mind, she was already getting scolded and smacked around repeatedly. She ran up cheerfully, hugging her mother and acting cute.

“Mom, I missed you so much!”

Gu Minglan patted her head like petting a dog, smiling mysteriously. “Oh really? Then why don’t you come back to Rong City more often to keep me company?”

Gu Qingci replied sweetly, “Of course! Didn’t I just visit last month?”

“Then how about I come over to keep you company instead?”

Gu Qingci hesitated for a moment. Something felt off, but she forced herself to nod. “Sure! That sounds great!”

Gu Minglan smiled meaningfully, patting her again. “Sit properly. Don’t slouch like that.”

Yeah, right!
I don’t believe you for a second!
You, my dear unfilial daughter, are definitely up to no good!

At this moment, Lin Lang, slightly nervous, followed Gu Qingci’s lead and greeted politely, “Hello, Auntie Gu.”

Gu Minglan responded with mixed emotions. “Xiao Lang, you’re here too.”

She had to hold back. Rushing into battle unprepared was never a wise strategy.

No, I need to gather my forces first. Then I’ll deal with my daughter!

For now, she’d just pretend she didn’t know anything.

Gu Minglan carefully observed Lin Lang, smiling warmly. “Come, sit down. See if there’s anything you’d like to eat.”

Lin Lang sat beside Gu Qingci. The moment they sat down, they immediately started whispering to each other while choosing dishes.

Lin Lang pointed at something on the menu, but Gu Qingci lightly smacked her hand away. “No, you’re not eating that!”

Lin Lang exaggerated a pained reaction, dramatically rubbing her hand. “Alright, alright, I won’t eat it.”

Gu Minglan sighed internally as she watched them.

She looked at Gu Qingci—rosy cheeks, bright eyes, full of energy. Clearly, she was being very well taken care of.

Then she looked at Lin Lang—slightly reserved, perhaps because she was in front of her, even looking a bit… shy?

Even though she knew Lin Lang could single-handedly take down ten of her daughter, the contrast between them made Gu Minglan feel as if her daughter was the one taking advantage here.

Honestly, it kind of made sense. Lin Lang practically stole her daughter away, of course she’d feel guilty!

Meeting the in-laws for the first time—who wouldn’t be nervous?

At the thought of the word “in-laws,” Gu Minglan snapped out of it, shaking her head vigorously.

No, no, no!

Even if her daughter was the “bottom” in this relationship, she couldn’t start thinking of herself as a mother-in-law or Lin Lang as a son-in-law!

This dinner was an emotional rollercoaster for Gu Minglan.

Now that the truth was clear, she could see all the little details she had overlooked before.
Even though the two of them tried to keep some distance in front of her, their subtle intimacy gave them away.

Was Lin Lang a bad choice?

Not at all.

If she weren’t good enough, how could she have spoiled Gu Qingci so much in just a year?

Most girls, after getting into a relationship, would start adjusting, compromising, and worrying about responsibilities.

But Gu Qingci?

She only got more spoiled.

Clearly, Lin Lang had been taking really good care of her, never letting her worry about anything.

The only “problem” here was probably… the gender thing.

Gu Minglan’s eyes narrowed as a realization hit her.

Or maybe that’s exactly why they work so well together!

Otherwise, how could Lin Lang so easily break down Gu Qingci’s defenses, win over her heart, and completely steal her away?
They had been together for almost a year, and she—the mother—had known nothing.

And now that she did…

She found it surprisingly hard to be mad about it.

Thinking about it… who was really taking advantage of who here?

After all, as a healthy adult woman, if you could get a safe, zero-risk, all-around high-quality romantic partner, why wouldn’t you?

By that logic, Gu Qingci was probably getting the better end of the deal, right?

If Lin Lang were a guy, moving in with her daughter without any formal commitment—she’d have beaten him up already!

Gu Minglan’s face remained unreadable, but inside, she was seething.

Alright, you brats, let’s see how long this lasts!

Meanwhile, as Lin Lang took the subway back to the university, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of loneliness.

Even in straight couples, when one partner’s parents visited, things often felt like this.

But for some reason, it stung more for her.

Before, she had always thought: Just go for it first. Get together first. Everything else can come later.

But now, almost a year in, she realized she had to start facing reality.

She had no family ties—she could make her own decisions.

She was sure about Gu Qingci.

She wanted a long-term future with her.

But what about Gu Qingci?

Would she be willing to stand by Lin Lang’s side if her family disapproved?

The thought of Gu Qingci being torn between love and family hurt more than anything else.

No matter what she chose, she would lose something.

That realization alone made Lin Lang’s heart ache.

No.

She needed to level up.

She needed to make herself so irreplaceable that no one could object.
Lin Lang started counting her strengths.

Money?
Nope. Gu Qingci’s wealth was already 30 times hers, and soon it’d be 100 times more.

Looks?
Also not her strongest point. Gu Qingci had suitors lined up. Even that rich guy, Fang Baihui, was stiff competition.

Fighting skills?
Not useful. Gu Qingci could hire professional bodyguards if needed.

The more she thought, the more depressed she got.

D*mn.

So her only advantage was… her skills in bed?!

That night, when Gu Qingci video-called her and heard about her “self-evaluation,” her head nearly exploded!

Not from embarrassment—from pure rage!

“How could you not mention your unique and amazing personality?!”

Was wealth or beauty the only thing that mattered?

“I love you because of who you are!”

She had never even thought about liking women before meeting Lin Lang!

And now?

She was so hooked she couldn’t quit.

The more they were together, the more she wanted her.

If she didn’t love Lin Lang, why would she be this obsessed?

Why would she keep wanting more?

Meanwhile, Gu Minglan was plotting her next move.

Since she couldn’t stop them outright, she’d go for tactical separation.
