Chapter 127: Mind-reading
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After reading it, Lin Bai couldn’t help but be secretly delighted.
“Huh? I didn’t expect it to be so human-like!”
If he only wanted to have a rough understanding of it, it would be as simple and straightforward as before.
If he wanted to have a deeper understanding or was curious about the other party’s life experience, he could use the enhanced function to read the other party’s life experience in detail.
The two modes could be freely switched according to needs, which was quite convenient!
Lin Bai instantly felt that he had blamed the system wrongly.
Since it was an upgrade, there was no such thing as the worse the upgrade was. It was definitely better than before!
Otherwise, how could it be called an enhanced version?
Lin Bai was now very satisfied with this enhanced version of the Divine-level Human Discernation Technique.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Ling Xuewei ask him, “Oh right, Mr. Lin, you haven’t eaten dinner yet, right?”
“If you don’t mind, why don’t you finish eating before you leave? I’ll call a nearby hotel to deliver food.” Wei Xinyue also chimed in.
“That’s right, Lin Bai, it’s already so late. Why don’t you eat first before you leave?”
The other party was too kind to decline, so Lin Bai could only nod and agree, “Alright, then I’ll disturb you.”
Wei Xinyue quickly said, “No, no, no. Little Xue and I are both cold and quiet. It’ll be livelier with you around.”
Ling Xuewei said, “Then I’ll go order a meal now. Mr. Lin, do you have any dietary restrictions?”
Lin Bai shook his head. “No.”
Ling Xuewei made a call. Wei Xinyue held Lin Bai’s hand and kept asking around.
For example, he asked about where she went to school, what major she studied, which year of college she was in, what kind of work her parents did, and so on.
She couldn’t wait to find out everything about Lin Bai and his family.
Lin Bai was a little overwhelmed. He could only find an opening and forcefully change the topic.
“Auntie, let me help you to the living room to watch TV, okay?” Lin Bai suggested.
Wei Xinyue nodded repeatedly and agreed.
Thus, Lin Bai quickly helped her over. When he saw that the living room was still in a mess, he immediately found some tools to sweep the floor.
It was not that Lin Bai was very hardworking. He just wanted to use his work to avoid Wei Xinyue checking his household register.
Very soon, Ling Xuewei came back. When she saw that Lin Bai was helping to tidy up the living room, she quickly grabbed a broom and asked Lin Bai to sit down to rest.
Lin Bai did not want to sit next to Wei Xinyue. If she continued to check his household register, he could only say, “Let’s clean up together. It’s faster when two people are working together.”
Ling Xuewei said, “I’m sorry.”
Lin Bai could only pretend to be friendly and said, “It’s just a small matter. There’s no need to be sorry.”
Thus, the two of them ended up cleaning up together, placing the cutlery together, and waiting for the food to be delivered.
Wei Xinyue sat on the sofa, beaming as she watched the two of them interact. The corners of her mouth were about to reach her ears.
The more she watched, the more she felt that Lin Bai and her daughter were a perfect match. They were simply a match made in heaven.
Thus, all of Ling Xuewei’s previous emphases were completely forgotten by Wei Xinyue.
She even felt that her precious daughter was probably shy and did not dare to admit the ambiguous relationship between her and Lin Bai.
Wei Xinyue decided that she had to seize this opportunity to set her daughter up with Lin Bai.
Her daughter was already twenty-eight years old. She would be considered an old lady in the countryside.
If she didn’t hurry up and settle her marriage, she would be left on the shelves!
Lin Bai looked reliable and good-looking.
If she could really set them up, Wei Xinyue felt that even if God told her to close her eyes immediately, she would feel at ease.
Lin Bai and Ling Xuewei had no idea what Wei Xinyue was thinking.
They were just looking for something to do to avoid the awkwardness of staring at each other.
Not long after, the hotel sent someone to deliver the food.
There were Australian steak, Boston Lobster, and a lot of other delicacies on the table.
Ling Xuewei wanted to use this meal to thank Lin Bai, so she ordered all the expensive and good things.
Although Wei Xinyue had never seen these, she knew from the looks of it that these dishes were definitely not cheap.
She felt a little sorry for the money, but then she thought that if she could use today’s opportunity to successfully bring her daughter and Lin Bai together and solve her daughter’s marriage, then this meal would be very valuable.
Therefore, she did not say anything about wasting money. Instead, with a face full of love, she kept putting food into Lin Bai’s bowl and told him to eat more.
She even asked Ling Xuewei, “Why didn’t you buy wine? Such a good dish should be accompanied with some wine.”
Ling Xuewei quickly said, “There’s red wine at home, I’ll open a bottle.”
After opening the bottle of wine, Wei Xinyue did not drink. She just kept urging Lin Bai and Ling Xuewei to clink glasses, as if she wanted to get them drunk.
Ling Xuewei sensed her mother’s intentions and tried to change the topic several times, trying to stop her mother.
However, Wei Xinyue did not care at all. She even took advantage of the time when Lin Bai was eating and glared at Ling Xuewei, blaming her for not knowing how to seize the opportunity.
Ling Xuewei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at her mother’s words, but there was nothing she could do.
After all, she could not say it out loud in front of Lin Bai. She could only exchange blows with her mother in secret.
When her mother told Lin Bai how good she was, Ling Xuewei would think of a way to change the topic.
Her mother advised Lin Bai to drink, wanting to get her drunk, but she also thought of a way to help Lin Bai block it.
In this way, they didn’t eat much food and wine, but the mother and daughter exchanged countless rounds of blows in secret.
Lin Bai wasn’t a fool, so he could naturally feel the subtle atmosphere at the dinner table.
However, he could not understand why Wei Xinyue was so persistent in setting him up with Ling Xuewei.
Lin Bai was worried that he might have misunderstood Wei Xinyue’s intentions.
Hence, he decided to use the mind-reading technique to read Wei Xinyue’s thoughts.
It just so happened that he had not used the mind reading technique ever since he obtained it. It would be good to take this opportunity to test the effect.
Anyway, the monthly quota for the number of times the mind-reading technique could be used would be refreshed each month.
It was already the end of the month. Even if he did not use it, the opportunity to use it this month would be wasted.
He might as well use it to see the effect. This way, when there was a real need next time, it would be more targeted.
With this thought in mind, Lin Bai secretly activated the mind-reading technique.
At this moment, Wei Xinyue thought that he was concentrating on eating, so she took the opportunity to wink at her daughter.
Lin Bai instantly heard her thoughts.
“You silly girl, why don’t you understand my painstaking efforts! I’m doing this for your own good. Lin Bai is a good lad in every aspect, why don’t you hurry up and grab him!?”
“Hurry up and drink more with him. Don’t let him leave when you’re drunk. Make him stay the night!”
“What are you waiting for? Quickly raise your wine glasses!”
