Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 106 - 107: Online Romance is Risky

[This is so awkward I’m getting goosebumps.]

[I’m getting second-hand embarrassment, hahaha, so awkward.]

Su Nian, who was eating a peach, burst out laughing.

"So now you know the truth," she said. "She wasn’t lying to you. She said she couldn’t meet you because she’s much older than you."

Yu Ze was filled with bitterness and regret. He desperately wanted to talk to someone, but then he glanced at Wang An, who was gleefully crossing his legs, having just extorted some money from his mom. A wave of misery and remorse washed over Yu Ze.

"I’m worried this is going to ruin my friendship with my bro."

[Hahahaha, maybe you should work on the father-son relationship instead.]

[How could it be this awkward?]

[Looking at your bro right now, he looks like a total idiot, HAHAHAHA!!!!]

Yu Ze gave a bitter laugh, finding it hard to even speak. He ran a frustrated hand through his hair. "I even married her in the game. I used to call her ’wifey.’ But she never told me she was married and had a kid this old!"

"I just thought she was an older woman, like a big sister. Every time I brought up our ages, she’d get evasive. But how could it end up like this?!"

Su Nian was laughing so hard she couldn’t even eat her peach. "Well, didn’t you just skip a few steps and get straight to the end?"

Yu Ze was furious and angry, but he had no idea what to do.

Meanwhile, the person on the other end of the phone, not getting a reply from Yu Ze, decided to call him directly.

The two words "My Babe" flashed on the screen. Yu Ze’s face turned ashen as he stared at it, not knowing whether to answer.

Su Nian said, "Calm down. Just explain things clearly."

Yu Ze gave another bitter laugh. "How am I supposed to explain this?!"

Su Nian blinked, then dropped another bombshell.

"She’s developed real feelings for you. If you don’t say something now, she’ll come to the school to find you."

Her slender fingers covered her gloating face as Su Nian struggled to keep her voice steady.

’If she comes to the school looking for me,’ he thought, ’and calls me her husband, her babe?’

The thought made Yu Ze want to die. The gentle, beautiful, wealthy older woman had turned into his roommate’s terrifying mom. He’d seen his roommate get chewed out by her more times than he could count.

Just imagining her coming to find him... The mental image was too cringe-worthy to even consider!

Yu Ze’s face twisted again, turning shades of purple and green.

"Streamer, what do I do?!"

He’d gone from being overjoyed at the thought of meeting her to being terrified. Was this a blessing or a curse, and for whom?

[From "babe" to "aunty," what has Yu Ze been through?]

[One sentence is all it takes to make a man steer clear of me!]

[I think this aunty has some serious nerve, really. Yu Ze never hid anything about himself. She knew he was so much younger than her own son, but she still went for it.]

"Streamer, what on earth do I do?!" This was going to be a dark Chapter in his life story.

Yu Ze wailed and clutched his head. He felt like his life had been dealt a devastating blow.

He... he’d actually been a "couple" in a game with his roommate’s mom for half a year, dating online for months, and calling her "babe" or "wifey" every day.

Most importantly, he’d actually been obsessed with an older woman he’d never even met, unable to get her out of his head?

He’d been so in love he couldn’t pull himself away, thinking only of going to meet her, holding her hand, and being in a real relationship. He even told her not to worry about age and that they should ignore the gap between them. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Thinking about all this now, he was so embarrassed he could have performed a full 24-form Tai Chi routine right there in his chair.

’Idiot! I’m such an idiot! How could I ever believe in online dating?!’

He thought of all the sweet, sappy things they’d said, and those cringey voice messages he’d sent in the middle of the night, deliberately lowering his voice to sound magnetic.

"Streamer, what do I do?! I just want to die! My life is hopeless! SOB SOB SOB!"

[You gotta look forward, kid!]

[Roommate: I thought you were joking when you said you wanted to be my godfather. Turns out you were serious.]

[Actually, if you look at it from another angle, the roommate is the one who has it worst.]

[A monk never lies. When he says he’ll be your daddy, he’ll be your daddy.]

Seeing how distraught he was, Su Nian spoke up. "She was genuinely looking for a relationship, you know. You were the one who said age isn’t an issue."

"But this gap is way too big! She could be my mother!"

Su Nian studied his face and nodded slightly. "That’s also true!"

"Then just send her a message and break up with her!"

Yu Ze sat in his chair, tugging at his hair. "What if she comes looking for me?"

The live stream’s bullet comments were all grabbing their popcorn.

[Now you’re scared!]

[Just think about it, what a massive dramatic showdown. ’My roommate’s girlfriend is actually my mom?’]

Su Nian said, "You should just be direct. Things are awkward enough between you two, don’t drag your roommate into it."

[Yeah, just being sincere is better.]

[I definitely couldn’t accept it. If it were me, I probably would have started cussing her out.]

[I just want to see what she’ll reply now.]

Yu Ze nodded, taking Su Nian’s words to heart.

His fingers tapped on the keyboard, and he finally managed to type out a few sentences.

[Ma’am, hello. I just found out that you’re my roommate’s mother. My limit for an age gap is about ten years. I really thought you weren’t that much older than me, which is why I said all those things.]

[I really can’t accept the fact that you’re my roommate’s mother. Wang An and I have a good relationship, and I don’t want him to know about this. Let’s just pretend everything we said in the past was nonsense.]

After typing it all out, Yu Ze cautiously asked Su Nian.

"Streamer, is this okay?"

"Mhm, that’s fine!"

Su Nian nodded. Yu Ze quickly sent the message, then squeezed his eyes shut in suspense.

[Damn, now I’m nervous too, hahaha!]

[Me too. I wonder what she’ll say. I really hope she doesn’t keep pestering him.]

[I’m just thinking, what if she replies with something like, "Thank you for teaching me to bravely pursue love." What would Yu Ze do then?]

[If she really says that, there’s nothing he can do. He’ll just have to get her son to talk some sense into her.]

[Even though you could say Yu Ze initiated it, she wasn’t clear about her situation and was evasive the whole time. That’s a problem too, right?]

The woman on the other end was oblivious to the heated discussion among the netizens.

Yu Ze watched the "typing..." indicator, his heart leaping into his throat.

Until a single word appeared from her side: "Okay."

Yu Ze’s heart instantly dropped back into his stomach. He was about to type something else but discovered she had already deleted and blocked him.

"This is good. This is the best possible outcome!"

Su Nian added, "Next time, you should be direct about things from the start. Based on my reading, if you hadn’t come to me for a divination today, you would have accidentally discovered the truth in a few days anyway. If you had chosen to end things by ghosting her, she wouldn’t have accepted it and would have come to the school to find you, leading to an even more awkward outcome."

[It was awkward, but at least it’s resolved!]

[Based on my prediction, from now on, Yu Ze will be allergic to the word "daddy," hahahahaha!]

[True, hahahaha!]

[Thank goodness. She was probably super embarrassed too.]

Su Nian leisurely took another bite of her peach. "Alright, this matter ends here. Their ill-fated connection is over. The two of them will have nothing to do with each other from now on."

"But I’d advise everyone against online dating. The person you’re dating could very well be some gross dude picking his feet, or someone who just wants to harvest your kidneys. It could even be a middle schooler, for all you know."
