Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Having helped Tang Cuifang, Yang Mei was very happy.

The two chatted and laughed all the way until Luo Fei arrived home.

"Yang Mei, I'll head back first."

After getting out of the driver's seat, Luo Fei vigorously stretched his stiff neck.

He had been driving the whole trip to and from Cloudy City.

Yang Mei knew he must be very tired now.

"Mm, go up quickly, remember to rest early after dinner, and it's best to take a hot bath before bed, it will make you feel a bit better."

As she spoke, she took the key handed to her by him, just about to open the driver's seat door.

Just then, an electric scooter suddenly approached from the distance and stopped in front of them.

"Luo Fei, you're back from your trip? And this girl is..."

On the scooter, Wu Yan looked at her son, then with a smile and curiosity, scrutinized Yang Mei.

Just a moment ago, she'd seen her son chatting and laughing with this girl from afar, so she had already guessed that this must be her son's girlfriend.

"Mom, are you off work? Let me introduce you, this is Yang Mei, whom I mentioned before."

Luo Fei hurriedly made the introduction.

As for Yang Mei, it goes without saying, she was visibly flustered by the surprise meeting.

Blushing, she shyly and nervously greeted, "Hello, Auntie."

The last time, due to a delay, she didn't manage to visit Luo Fei's home, and afterwards, she was constantly too busy.

But she never expected to meet her future mother-in-law under such circumstances today, she was completely unprepared...

"Ah, hello, girl!"

Wu Yan responded eagerly, her face beaming with smiles.

Ever since she heard that her son had a girlfriend, she had been curious.

Now seeing that the girl was so pretty and well-mannered, she was thoroughly pleased.

Under Wu Yan's scrutiny, Yang Mei felt even more uneasy and kept tugging at Luo Fei's sleeve.

Receiving her distress signal, Luo Fei promptly said, "Yang Mei, didn't you say you were tired? Hurry back then."

Yang Mei looked at him with gratitude, as if granted amnesty.

"Okay, then Auntie, I think I'll get going."

Just as she was about to slip away, Wu Yan had already spoken.

First, she glared at Luo Fei with displeasure, then smiled warmly at Yang Mei, "Why leave, dear? Since you're finally here, at least have a meal before you go."

"No need, Auntie, I..."

"Need, need. Luo Fei, quickly take Yang Mei upstairs, I need to go buy some more groceries."

Wu Yan hadn't considered that Yang Mei was here, so she had only bought a couple of vegetables at the market.

Though there was definitely enough for another person, she felt it was too stingy to greet her future daughter-in-law with such scant offerings.

So she immediately intended to go back to the market, but Luo Fei quickly stopped her.

"Mom, Yang Mei just got back with me from the trip and is indeed tired, so let her go back for now."

Seeing that Yang Mei was not yet ready, he didn't want to pressure her.

Wu Yan also noticed their tired faces and resigned to the idea, "Alright then, if Luo Fei says so, I won't insist. But next time, you must come for a meal with us."

"Definitely, I'll definitely come next time."

Yang Mei promised repeatedly before driving away.

Wu Yan parked the scooter, then went upstairs with Luo Fei carrying the groceries.

On the way, she casually asked a few questions and learned that Luo Fei took Yang Mei's car every day after work. She complained annoyedly, "You silly kid, how could you not think of bringing her home for a meal sooner?"

"Mom, it's just that the right time never came up, besides, I couldn't just bring her home casually, it wouldn't show enough respect."

"True... In any case, I don't care, find a time to invite her, discuss it with her, and then let me know."

"Alright, alright, I'll ask her when I'm back at work tomorrow."

As Luo Fei said this, they had already arrived at their floor.

He took out the key to unlock the door, and they both entered the house.

Wu Yan was still fretting over the matter, "Luo Fei, last time the girl gave me such a heavy gift, what do you think I should give back that's appropriate?"

Thinking of the large gold bracelet from last time, Wu Yan felt that the return gift couldn't be anything insignificant.

Otherwise, the girl might look down on their family.

"Mom, just do what you think is right, it doesn't need to be too extravagant, it's the thought that counts."

Luo Fei knew that with Yang Mei's family, she didn't lack anything.

Even if they gave her everything they had, it wouldn't mean much to her, so what's important is sincerity.

"That won't do, it might make the girl think I'm not taking her seriously."

Wu Yan shook her head repeatedly, then asked, "What does Yang Mei like usually?"

This question really stumped Luo Fei.

After pondering seriously for a while, he really couldn't think of anything Yang Mei particularly liked.

Though they usually went out to have fun together, it was just strolling around and grabbing street snacks before heading back.

He had genuinely never noticed Yang Mei having a preference for anything special.

She was not like other girls who have a fondness for luxury items either.

Perhaps because she was a police officer, her everyday attire was very simple...

Seeing his silence, Wu Yan knew he simply didn't know.

"How can you be a boyfriend and not even know what the girl likes? That's so irresponsible!"

"Mom, I'm not dating just to learn about these things..."

"Enough, go find out quickly."

Clearly, Wu Yan didn't want to hear Luo Fei's excuses and cut him off directly without room for rebuttal.
