Su Yicheng took Lin Xiao back to his ancestral home. On the way, Lin Xiao was a little worried, afraid that her aunt would be angry with Su Yicheng.

After all, logically speaking, it was he who turned his son gay. He must have been furious to the point of being angry that his perfectly good son was turned gay by him.

Lin Xiao was so nervous that he didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere in the car became somewhat tense.

Su Yicheng noticed this and comforted him, saying, "Don't worry about it too much. My mom isn't like that. She's very easy to talk to. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

The journey to the main family home wasn't far, and they arrived quickly. Lin Xiao, with his sharp eyes, spotted Su Yicheng's mother's car—it was red—and couldn't help but frown.

You've arrived so early, are you trying to explain some serious problem?

When the two arrived, they bought some of the things that Su Yicheng's mother liked to eat for her, and the young man greeted her with a sincere expression.

"Auntie, this is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Su's mother simply kept a straight face, her eyes, lightly made up, scrutinizing Lin Xiao from head to toe.

He only uttered a soft "hmm" through his nose, nothing more.

The atmosphere became a little awkward. Su Yicheng was afraid that his mother would be angry with Lin Xiao because of this, so he laughed it off.

"Mother, this is fruit that Lin Xiao bought for you because he said that eating fruit makes your already beautiful skin even more beautiful."

Su's mother was taken aback. Although the words came from her son's mouth, she could still feel the boy's sincerity.

Perhaps their feelings are acceptable, but they are just too harsh?

"Really? You've got a sweet tongue, but don't think that just because of that you can wash your hands of all the scum you two have done."

The words were so clear that everyone knew Su's mother was referring to the relationship between him and Su Yicheng. What else could possibly make her angry?

"Why are you so quiet now? Weren't you just talking so much? Look at the relationship between you two, I really don't know how I'm supposed to hold my head up in front of everyone!"

"Do you really have to say that my son is gay, and that the young master of the Su family likes a man? Don't be ridiculous, son, we can't handle this kind of commotion!"

Comparing this matter to the upheaval of Su's mother is quite apt; it implies that you yourself are unaware of the seriousness of this situation.

Lin Xiao was anxious, his handsome face scrunched up. He wanted to defend Su Yicheng, but Su Yicheng interrupted him.

"Mother, this has nothing to do with Lin Xiao. It's because I've fallen for him. If you have to blame someone, blame me!"

Su's mother sighed, feeling helpless, because her son was just like her husband back then—so stubborn, once he made up his mind, he wouldn't let go.

Seeing that mild threats had no effect, Su's mother deliberately made the situation more serious, so that Su Yicheng would know what was going on.

"Really? Let's not talk about that for now. There are still many people in society who don't agree with homosexuality."

Just the two of you, do you think you can handle it? Don't be ridiculous!

Although it was a bit much to say that, Su's mother was doing it for their own good, to help them see the truth of the world sooner!

“I know all of this. I made that decision when I decided to be with Lin Xiao.”

When Su Yicheng finished speaking, he touched his mother's soft, tousled hair in front of her, his expression extremely gentle.

Even his mother was a little jealous when she saw it. What was that? How could he be so infatuated with a boy?

Although she didn't really hate Lin Xiao, she wanted to see where his sincerity lay. Surely he couldn't even pass her test.

“Auntie, although I really want to be with Yicheng forever, I won’t make things difficult for him. If you really don’t like us being together, I will back out.”

Su Yicheng felt heartbroken listening to the boy's aggrieved voice, but the words he heard the next second made his heart ache.

He grabbed his hand and roared at him.

"Lin Xiao, I've told you, I won't allow you to leave me. Didn't you hear me? Why did you say such things!"

He dislikes young people getting angry over these things, it's really awful. These little rascals sometimes need to be 'educated', otherwise they won't listen!

Lin Xiao blushed as she was being talked about like that, because there were other people around, and Su Yicheng always did that.

"Do you still dare to say you're leaving me? Say it."

Su Yicheng stared straight at Lin Xiao with his bloodshot eyes, asking the boy beside him regardless of whether his mother was present.

Lin Xiao swallowed hard, and an idea popped into his head.

She'd rather offend Su Yicheng's mother than offend Su Yicheng himself—he's just too dictatorial.

"Idiot, I like you. Why are you misunderstanding me? I never said I don't like you."

Finally, having received a satisfactory answer from the boy, Su Yicheng was relieved.

But then he faced another problem: his mother was too mean, and she kept using these tricks to scare him.

It seems her husband needs to keep an eye on her, otherwise she'll keep causing trouble.

“Mother, please don’t say sad things anymore. They’re actually quite frightening, and most people wouldn’t be able to handle them.”

Seeing her son's frenzied behavior towards that boy, Su's mother knew that he was already deeply involved, and there was no point in forcing him to come out of it.

But this wicked boy actually used her husband to threaten her again. He's really wicked. I wonder where he learned that from.

"Alright, alright, I'll let you off the hook. I was just testing you out, but you little rascal, you actually tried to scare me with your father! Humph!"

Su Yicheng shook his head helplessly, attributing his mother's willfulness entirely to his great father.

"That's settled then. Don't bring up this kind of thing again next time, it'll scare people."

Su Yicheng was driven mad just thinking about the possibility of Lin Xiao leaving him.

"Okay, okay, Mom won't mention it anymore. Lin Xiao, I'm sorry, Auntie didn't mean it, please don't blame me."

Lin Xiao was also helpless. This kind of woman was actually quite cute. She was just a source of joy for the Su family. How could he bear to blame her?

"It's okay, Auntie is just doing it for our own good, I know."

"Lin Xiao, what kind of food do you like to eat? How about Auntie cooks it for you? This kid probably can't cook, right? I don't want you to starve such a handsome boy."
