CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 123: YU TING AND SHI TIANYUN

Alcohol makes people relax their nerves, even the usually cautious Zhang He let down his guard, ignoring Yu Xiaozhe’s identity and forgetting that this car is frequently seen by Yu Xiaozhe’s fans.

Maybe Yu Xiaozhe did it on purpose?

Besides him, who would know?

Li Mu drove steadily, the road conditions were good at this time, with few vehicles passing by.

The people in the car had drunk some alcohol and were feeling drowsy under the blow of the warm air conditioning.

Just when Ruan Xingwen was about to doze off, the Yu Family’s old house arrived.

Unexpectedly, the Yu Family’s old house was not as luxurious as Ruan Xingwen had imagined, at least the exterior decoration and furnishings were quite quaint.

Only a corner could be glimpsed from outside the walls, but it could be sensed that although these decorations looked simple, they exuded a touch of ancient charm.

"Brother, aren’t you going in? Mom was just talking about you earlier."

Yu Yue asked Yu Xiaozhe before opening the car door.

"Let’s talk about it another day."

Yu Yue thought that was fair enough.

If his brother went back to the old house, their mom would definitely latch onto him, asking about this and that, and eventually nagging him about his lifelong matters.

But now, his brother already has someone he likes...

Maybe next time his brother comes home, he’ll surprise their mom.

"Then I’m going home, bye everyone~ Goodnight~"

After saying goodbye, Yu Yue opened the car door and got out.

As soon as the car door was opened a crack, a gust of cold wind blew into the car, startling everyone awake and making them much more alert.

Yu Xiaozhe’s previously gentle expression instantly turned stern, his gaze sharpened, looking towards the "culprit."

Yu Yue grinned with embarrassment, "Hehe," and slammed the car door shut with a "bang."

"Bye-bye~" He waved to them through the window and ran to the gate.

Upon hearing the sound of a vehicle outside, Yu Ting wrapped a wool shawl around her and slowly walked to the house door, peering towards the gateway.

"Did I just hear Xiao Yue’s voice? Honey, did you hear it?"

With a gentle and soft voice, she asked the man behind her.

An elegant man emerged behind her, holding a coat in his hand.

"I’ve told you, it’s cold outside now; why won’t you listen? At your age, you should take better care of your health."

The man’s grumbling was filled with a touch of helplessness and compromise, his eyes focused on the woman beside him, attentive and passionate.

The two of them have been together for over twenty years, and the way he looks at her hasn’t changed since they first started dating, unchanged for twenty years, just like their love.

The woman coyly covered her mouth and laughed, "That’s because I still have you, honey~"

The man gently stroked his wife’s soft hair, "You!"

"..."

Yu Yue stood at the gate, watching this scene, feeling like a bit of an intruder, and just as he was about to quietly bypass the couple and enter through the side door, the man at the house door noticed him.

"Why aren’t you coming in after getting home, sneaking around at the door, what are you up to!"

His tone was entirely different from when he was speaking to his wife, extremely stern.

"Oh, alright, alright, Xiao Yue is back now."

Yu Ting first gently comforted her husband, then called to her son:

"Xiao Yue, come on in, it’s cold outside."

Having said that, she wrapped her arms around her husband’s arm and went back inside.

Watching the loving couple, their consistent affection through the years, Yu Yue once again felt a bit out of place.

Oh, having parents that are too in love isn’t ideal either, always makes you feel like an extra!

But it really is cold, better get inside quickly.

Yu Yue ran a few steps and followed his parents into the old house.

Meanwhile, the chauffeur’s van had long left the old house, heading towards Ruan Xingwen’s old residence.

"Xiao Yue, come have some hot soup, warm yourself up."

Yu Ting waved cheerfully at her son from the dining table, smiling as she called out.

Yu Yue walked over and was just about to sit when Shi Tianyun, seated next to Yu Ting, lectured him:

"Wash your hands first."

So Yu Yue resignedly stood up to wash his hands first.

When he returned, the couple had already started eating.

"Mom, did you call me back for something? Also, why are you just starting dinner? Didn’t I tell you, I already ate at my brother’s place."

Yu Ting swallowed her food, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and then responded:

"Your dad and I haven’t been back long, and your dad insisted on cooking personally. We’d just set the table when we heard a noise at the door, so went out to take a look."

"It’s rare to have time, so I must personally cook for you; that was our agreement back in the day."

There they go again.

Yu Yue popped a peanut into his mouth, thinking helplessly.

Sure enough, after Shi Tianyun finished speaking, Yu Ting’s expression turned a bit shy.

Although they are already in their forties, time seems biased, leaving no trace on their faces.

The two are still as attractive as a man and woman in their early thirties, quite pleasing to the eye.

But having watched them for over twenty years, Yu Yue feels that no matter how good-looking, it’s tedious to watch for so long.

Truly, he wonders how his dad and mom manage it.

At this moment, Yu Yue was only focused on complaining, completely forgetting that when it came to Fang Wenkai, he was no less... maybe even worse than his parents.

"Mom, you still haven’t said why you called me..."

Yu Yue tossed another peanut into his mouth and had to interrupt their lovey-dovey moment.

"Oh, right. See, my memory is not what it used to be, getting older."

"Honey, you’re not old at all. In my mind, you’ve always been as young as eighteen."

Yu Ting blushed, lightly punching Shi Tianyun’s chest,

"Hey, the kids are here, don’t say such things."

Shi Tianyun remained serious, "I’m telling the truth, love."

Seeing the situation turning again, Yu Yue quickly spoke up, lest his parents started another round of affection.

"Mom... if you don’t tell me, I’m going back to my room to sleep."

Shi Tianyun glared at Yu Yue in disdain.

Yu Ting quickly composed herself, lightly coughed,

"Ahem, Xiao Yue, your mother has something to entrust to you."

Hmm?

"What is it, Mom?"

"It’s about your brother’s marriage!"

Yu Ting looked serious and solemn, making it clear she wasn’t joking.

"Huh? What?" Yu Yue was shocked.

Shi Tianyun said disdainfully, "So young, and you’re already hard of hearing! I’ve told you time and again, not to wear earphones so much, and stop listening to that strange, noisy music..."

When his beloved music was mentioned, Yu Yue couldn’t help but retract his shock and retort to his dad,

"Dad, that’s my favorite rock music... Stop, first, talk about what mom said."

"Mom, what exactly did you say you want me to do? My brother’s marriage?"

Yu Ting nodded softly, "Yes."

His mom’s affirmative answer left Yu Yue even more perplexed, what could he possibly do about his brother’s marriage?

"Well, I have an old classmate, and she has a son, who’s twenty-two this year. I’ve seen the person, he’s very pretty and well-behaved, graduated from Huake University, which makes him your brother’s junior."

"Ah, so..." and then what?

Yu Ting went on to elaborate how exceptionally good this boy was.

"And, it so happens, this young man is also a star chaser, he’s even a fan of your brother. Yesterday, while shopping with his mom, we just happened to talk about her son, and she said her son also likes boys but hasn’t met the right one yet, and she’s been worried."

So, what does this have to do with his brother? Could it be...

!!!

"So, I thought, since your brother doesn’t have a partner either, I figured they should meet; even if nothing comes of it, it’s good to make more friends!"

So, his mom actually wants to set up a...

"Blind date?!"
