Qiao Zhaoning was never a kind person to begin with, even though he knew that his childhood friend liked his older brother.

But since he was with him at that moment, it was true that he had some ulterior motives.

The entertainment industry is always rife with gossip, especially for newcomers like Lin Xiao, a rising star. Without a strong backing, the consequences are similar to those of established celebrities.

Meizi deliberately made the noise to see where Nan Lichuan's bottom line was, and also to make him realize that girls were more suitable for him.

Of course, these were all things that Nan Lichuan was unaware of; he was kept in the dark.

"You good-for-nothing, look what your son has done! Of all people, he has to like a boy."

"And you've caused such a huge uproar, let's see how you clean up this mess, Nanshan!"

Nan's mother was so angry at the intimate photos on the desktop that she couldn't speak. On the other hand, she was also surprised by her son's love, which was so humble and unlike him at all.

Nanshan closed his eyes, ignoring his wife's mutterings. He found it hard to believe that his youngest son was the one seducing her.

Besides, how could someone as good as his youngest son, who also has a girlfriend who likes him, possibly do such a thing?

"You may have misunderstood something. Our two precious sons are so outstanding, how could they be gay? Don't get agitated, just go and ask them."

Nan Lichuan returned home with a strange feeling. He looked around and found that the person he was looking for was not there, and even the house was not the house he wanted to go back to.

His parents were sitting in the living room waiting for him to come home. He knew that some things couldn't be kept secret forever, but what could he do? No one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do.

"Mother Nan sat gracefully in the living room, looking at her son with a serious expression. When she saw that he was about to leave, she spoke up to stop him."

"Stop! You see your mother and don't even greet her? Have you forgotten your manners?"

Nan Lichuan paused for a moment, then walked back to where his mother had been, and smiled as he spoke to her.

"I just got back and I have things to do. If Mother doesn't have anything important to say, I'll go upstairs now."

"Smack."

Seeing that the person was about to leave, Nan's mother threw a handful of photos on the table and said in a slightly serious tone.

"Look what you've done! I always thought you two were being too close when you were kids."

It felt really strange. Now I know, you've fallen for Lin Xiao, right?

Nan Lichuan frowned. He didn't like others calling the little guy by his name. Only he could call him by that name; it would make him jealous.

"Mother, I'm sorry I did what you expected. I apologize if I disappointed you."

"Oh, by the way, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I have a lot of things to do."

"Stop! Did I tell you to leave? Come back and explain yourself. You're already dating Xiaoqin, how could you do something like this?"

"If Xiaoqin finds out, how will you face her then!"

Nan Lichuan turned his head, his back slightly angry. What did he mean by how to face her? He had never agreed to be with that woman; it was always them causing trouble.

Just as she was about to say something, she was drawn to the sound of the door opening. The person who pushed open the door was none other than Lin Xiao, who had rarely been seen at home.

Seeing the situation, Nanshan quickly smoothed things over, winking at his son, "Oh dear, our Xiaoxiao is back. Have you been busy lately? Why don't you come home more often?"

Lin Xiao didn't respond to Nanshan's words; instead, he glanced at them.

"Dad, I'm a little tired today. Let's talk about it tomorrow, okay?"

As they approached Nanlichuan, an unfamiliar aura emanated from Lin Xiao, which bothered him, and he almost got into an argument with him without considering the situation.

"stop."

Lin Xiao found it rare to see Nan Lichuan and his mother speaking in unison, so he wasn't in a hurry and turned his head to wait for them to speak.

"Lin Xiao, what's that smell on you? It doesn't smell like you. Where did you come from today?"

Lin Xiao gave a light mocking laugh, "What do you mean, 'where did you go'? Brother is being a bit too nosy. Mother is right, you should listen to her and reflect on your own behavior."

Everyone was stunned. They hadn't expected Lin Xiao to call Nan Mu "Mom" so quickly, and he did so so sweetly and emotionally.

Nan's mother's performance was not very good either. She was startled, and although she was a little shaken by the boy's sudden shout, she was not entirely convinced.

The boy's voice was so beautiful; she had previously envied him for only calling her "mother."

She didn't call her that, but that feeling disappeared when she learned that he would be detrimental to her son.

"What did you call me, Mom? You never used to call me that before. Humph, so what if you did call me that!"

"Don't you know what you and your brother have been doing?"

Lin Xiao's originally gentle face changed upon hearing these seemingly nonsensical words. "What is it? I don't understand what you're saying."

Nan's mother snorted coldly: "Hmph, what is it? You seduced your brother and made him fall in love with you. How will he continue the family line in the future? How will he face Xiao Qin?"

Lin Xiaoxiao understood, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. So that's what it was about. He looked up at the silent boy beside him. His pale pink lips parted.

"Brother, did I do anything to make Mom angry?"

Nan Lichuan shook his head. Yes, he didn't. Everything he did was voluntary. He did these things willingly.

Even if he likes someone, it's his own choice. But if these external reasons prevent him from being with Lin Xiao, humph, never!

And is the little guy trying to change the subject? How could we let him escape so easily?

Nan Lichuan's face turned cold as he pulled the person away from his mother and prepared to push him outside.

Nanshan watched Nan Lichuan's actions, and a trace of anxiety remained in his heart. He was afraid that his son might do something bad.

"Xiao Chuan, what are you doing?"

Nan Lichuan looked up. He knew his father would ask that question. Now that he had come this far, he had no intention of turning back.

"My brother and I were just talking about something, Father, there's no need to be nervous."

Nanshan raised an eyebrow. "Father?" Xiao Chuan would never normally call him that. Could he be planning something to do to Xiao Xiao?

Nan Lichuan's anger was somewhat inexplicable, and this feeling of being forced made Lin Xiao feel very uncomfortable, as if he were being treated like a prisoner. What did they take him for?

The boy sitting in the car ignored everything the boy next to him did, until the boy next to him could no longer hold back and angrily pinched Lin Xiao's chin, forcing him to look at him.

"Xiao Xiao, did my dear brother ever tell you that if you mess with me, you have to take responsibility? So, I won't let this go so easily."
