Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

Chapter 59: Chapter 54 Following

That Saturday, Lin Yun left the house alone, dressed in casual attire.

On his day off from commuting, he rarely chose to drive, heading alone to the central business district of Luoming District.

He had hinted at the incident in the apartment building elevator to Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang, but whether they really didn't know or pretended to be clueless, they showed no reaction to his hints.

However, that evening, when he explained school knowledge to Lin Xiaolu as Emerald Sparrow, her absent-minded expression lingered in his mind.

Upon reflection, following the promise he made on the day he took Lin Xiaolu to school, it was time to have a serious talk with his daughter, to at least inform her about An Ya, instead of keeping her in the dark.

With these thoughts, Lin Yun silently turned the steering wheel. After driving past an intersection and moving along the road for some distance, his eyebrows suddenly twitched.

It was because he felt a magical reaction emanating from the Heart Flower he carried with him.

It was a sign that a spell technique he had set up had been triggered.

In the past, during the initial encounter with Moke, who was suspicious and enigmatic, Emerald Sparrow secretly placed a tracking spell technique on it to monitor its movements.

Later on, although Moke proved with its actions that it was a genuine fool within and without, considering it was generally accompanied by Lin Xiaolu, Emerald Sparrow did not remove the spell technique, to ensure they could be located in case of an emergency.

Gently touching the Heart Flower, Lin Yun's extended hand gradually surged with azure magic power, his hand which belonged to an adult male became ethereal, and within the illusion, a small hand mimicked his posture, resting on the gem-encrusted flower.

Instantly, a sense of connection emerged in his mind—the spell technique he had laid was right behind him.

Why would Moke be following him?

Feeling quite puzzled, Lin Yun did not show it, instead, he let go of the Heart Flower, allowing everything to return to normal. He pretended as if he had noticed nothing and continued to drive.

Soon after, as the car was forced to a stop at a red light at an intersection, he saw a pink head stick out from the side of his car window.

Without having to look closely, he knew that the head must belong to Moke; there was no need for guesses.

At that moment, Moke clung firmly to the car window with its paws, eyes wide, its face pressed flat against the window, looking rather comical.

Around its neck hung a mobile phone for some reason, which seemed very similar in style to Xia Liang's. It was lucky that fairies had an integrated cognitive disorder, otherwise the pedestrians on the road would have been scared half to death by a floating phone in mid-air.

Lin Yun continued to feign ignorance, glancing surreptitiously at Moke outside the car window, and after careful scrutiny, finally confirmed something: hanging around its neck was indeed Xia Liang's own mobile phone.

In other words, at least its current bizarre behavior was related to Xia Liang.

Considering what he saw in the elevator that went straight to his floor, he couldn't help but speculate: could it have been Xia Liang that day?

What exactly was she up to?

Xia Liang's smiling face came to mind, and Lin Yun could not fathom her thoughts at the moment, but what he was about to do was not something that needed hiding, so he was not concerned about their little acts.

After all, he had said before that as an adult, he should be tolerant of a child's small caprices.

Continuing to drive toward his destination, what Lin Yun didn't know was that there were two girls tailing him in a taxi hundreds of meters behind.

——"We've caught up with the target."

Staring at her mobile phone screen, Lin Xiaolu furrowed her brows, "Moke has confirmed through the car window, it's definitely him."

"I mean... is this really necessary?"

Xia Liang, who was dragged into this and had her mobile phone forcibly taken away, felt somewhat helpless, "Even if your dad is really going to meet another woman, that is his freedom, isn't it?"

"I'm not trying to interfere with that."

Lin Xiaolu mumbled quietly, "Besides, he was already so close with another woman at mom's funeral, now it's just a meeting, what difference does it make?"

"But you were saying before that his behavior is an affair..."

"Ah, really! I just misspoke, don't nitpick at a time like this!"

Pouting in denial, Lin Xiaolu hurriedly shifted the topic, "Anyway, what we're focusing on now isn't the fact that he's going out on a date, but who he's planning to meet!" Enjoy new tales from mvl

"Right, right, right." Watching Lin Xiaolu's reaction, Xia Liang chuckled teasingly, "So, it means if the person is someone you don't care about, then it wouldn't matter to you if their date were successful, right?"

"...It wouldn't matter." Lin Xiaolu said stubbornly.

"What if it's actually Hong Siyu, who came to our house a few days ago?"

"I would reveal to Emerald Sparrow her real intention for getting close to us, letting her know about that woman... huh, huh?" Lin Xiaolu, belatedly realizing something, raised her head, "What did you just say?"

"Hong Siyu?"

"I don't care how you refer to that woman, what I'm talking about is the word before that!" Lin Xiaolu corrected.

"A few days ago?" Xia Liang blinked innocently.

"Don't try to confuse me, you said 'our house,' right?" Lin Xiaolu then widened her eyes.

"Yeah, I said it."

"That's it, I've corrected you many times, I told you, that's my house, you're really pushing your luck too far!"

"Is that not allowed? I really wish we could be just like a family." Xia Liang said softly, teasing, "If that were the case, I could call you 'sister,' how about that, Sister Xiaolu?"

"Don't make it sound so cheesy."

Glancing at her with some disdain, Lin Xiaolu sighed, "Anyway, my house is my house, your house is your house. These concepts shouldn't be mixed up."

Having said that, she continued to stare intently at her phone, closely monitoring the movements of Magic Power and her own father.

Quiet settled in the car for a moment.

The driver sitting in front, who could actually overhear the conversation behind him, clearly found it inappropriate to chime in on such obvious familial issues. He reminded himself to stay out of others' family matters and maintained his silence as well.

"Xiaolu."

After watching the phone with Lin Xiaolu for a while, Xia Liang suddenly called out her name, "You said, if your dad's date isn't that sister, but just like you said, is..."

"It won't be."

Cutting her off mid-sentence, Lin Xiaolu stared at her phone without looking up, making it impossible for Xia Liang to see her expression, "I must believe in Emerald Sparrow, it won't be."

"But you were suspecting it yourself just a few days ago, weren't you?"

Lin Xiaolu didn't speak.

Because she didn't know how to answer that question.

In fact, the possibility she least hoped for had been hovering in her mind until she chased Lin Yun out of the house. However, at this moment, she surprisingly became a bit calm.

Emerald Sparrow's actions and speech from the past days resurfaced in her thoughts, slowly restoring her confidence: the Magical Girl she admired wasn't the type to recklessly interfere in someone else's family.

Even though, deep down, she also harbored a tiny bit of hope: if she really was going to have a stepmother, maybe...

So, this act of tailing was less about catching someone in the act and more about giving herself closure.

Staring at the red and blue dots on her phone, representing the two parties' locations, Lin Xiaolu was silent for a long time.

She knew, no matter what thoughts she harbored in her heart, the real answer lay ahead.
