Chapter 1258: The Fool's Daughter (37)

Brother Shuo?

The moment he heard it, Yuan Shuo felt that it sounded far better than Brother Yuan. As for whatever game character she was referring to, he didn't care in the slightest. What mattered to him was simply the way she addressed him.

It was nice.

Brother Shuo sounded more unique.

He liked the title.

System: So easy to satisfy. I wonder if it's because Host always used to tell him not to be too greedy.

Still, the System was certain that after regaining his memories, this fellow had definitely placed restrictions on himself. Otherwise, how could he have gone through all these worlds without ever daring to do anything that would betray Host?

Every time he wanted to say something inappropriate after seeing Host, he immediately corrected himself.

After finishing another delicious meal, the two stepped out of the restaurant. Yuan Shuo asked softly, "Xiaoguo, is it really okay for you to treat me every day? How about I pay tomorrow? Have you already made a reservation?"

"I have, Brother Shuo. Actually, you don't need to worry. Although my parents love giving away everything they own, I'll keep my own things safe. But you have to help me keep this secret. You can't let them know that I'm not short of money."

"Of course."

Yuan Shuo's heart warmed instantly.

She had actually shared such an important secret with him.

That proved that, in her eyes, he was someone worthy of trust.

He certainly wouldn't betray that trust.

He would guard this secret carefully.

A secret known only to the two of them.

Tang Guo took out her phone and handed it over after unlocking the screen. Seeing the calendar packed full with reservations at various private restaurants, Yuan Shuo was astonished.

"How did you manage this?"

"Maybe I'm just lucky."

He didn't believe it.

But he didn't care either.

"Then tomorrow—and after that—it'll be my turn to treat you. These restaurants are booked months in advance. Thanks to you, I don't have to wait that long."

Tang Guo didn't refuse and agreed happily.

As usual, Yuan Shuo drove her home. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he always stopped in particularly discreet places.

Knowing her family's circumstances and vaguely understanding her plans, he naturally cooperated with her.

And so, every afternoon, the two of them would visit a different private restaurant.

Meanwhile, Song Jinghua and Tang Lide worried about money every single day and never noticed that after eating "vegetarian" for half a month, Tang Guo was still glowing with health and showed no signs of losing weight.

The two of them, however, had actually lost several pounds from eating vegetables every day.

"Xiao Shuo, tell me honestly, why have you been coming home so late lately? Are you dating some girl?"

The moment Yuan Shuo entered the house, his mother caught him and threw out that question.

The elegant and noble-looking rich lady stared at him expectantly.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Shuo nodded.

"Yes, Mom. It won't be long before you have a daughter-in-law."

"Really?"

Mother Yuan was overjoyed to hear him admit it personally.

"Son, you've finally come to your senses! You're already twenty-seven years old—a proper older youth. Good heavens, no one would believe it if I told them that my son has never dated anyone since childhood. You've never even held a girl's hand. Honestly, you've embarrassed me to death."

Yuan Shuo: "..."

"So? Have you won her over yet?"

Mother Yuan asked with great interest.

"If you've succeeded, hurry up and bring her home! I've already prepared a gift. One of your father's friends from South Africa recently brought me several diamonds. Son, come help your mother choose. What color diamond does your girlfriend like? Pick one for her as a welcoming gift."

"Young girls should wear things like that—sparkling, beautiful jewelry."
