Chapter 445 The Final Chapter (Part 1) The End (Part 1)

445:

Ye Qingxi was surprised that Mu Shaoyan would turn the tables and launch a surprise attack here, leaving her feeling both amused and exasperated.

But then again, he thought. His uncle had always wanted to be his father, and now his other uncle was his father too, but he wasn't. He had to mind.

But there's nothing we can do about it; a person can't have three fathers, right?

Then, to his surprise, he discovered that he actually seemed to be going to have three fathers.

this……

That person can't possibly have four fathers, can they?!

So his uncle should just stick to being a good uncle.

Mu Shaoyan: ...He hates it!

I hate that my father is the only one who isn't called "father"!

He's jealous!

Duan Yi smiled when he saw the childish dissatisfaction on his face.

Although he was surprised that Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng were together, he had no objection.

In matters of love, as long as it doesn't violate morality, in principle, it's fine as long as the other person likes you.

Ye Qingxi likes it, and Qin Cheng likes it too, so it's naturally none of their business to comment.

Moreover, when he was dating Mu Shaoyan back then, Ye Qingxi was surprised but didn't have any objections.

Even at such a young age, he was able to respect his uncle's wishes.

He's almost forty, does he really think he can disrespect Ye Qingxi's wishes?

"So, what you're telling your families now is that you're planning to get married?" Duan Yi asked.

Ye Qingxi quickly shook her head, "Of course not."

"We've been dating for a while now, and it doesn't seem right to keep it a secret from my family any longer, so I thought I'd tell everyone first."

"As for marriage..." Ye Qingxi said, "I'm not in a hurry right now."

Mu Shaoyan nodded, "That's right, your father wasn't in a hurry back then."

Ye Qingxi smiled and glanced at him. Back then, the person in the family who was most anxious was his uncle, who had married Duan Yi just a few years after graduating.

She went from being the youngest of the four children to being the second in the family to get married.

Feeling the mocking gaze, Mu Shaoyan said in shame and indignation, "Why are you looking at me? I wasn't in a hurry back then. It was him who was in a huge rush. If it weren't for the circumstances, he would have loved for us to get married right after graduation!"

He pointed at Duan Yi as he spoke.

Duan Yi: ...

Duan Yi did not deny it.

This is true.

If his family background were comparable to Mu Shaoyan's, the day they graduated would be the day he would visit Mu Feng.

Fortunately, over the years, their game company has become one of the top companies in the industry, and now he is finally worthy of Mu Shaoyan.

"Xiao Xi, are you staying for dinner later?" Duan Yi asked him.

Ye Qingxi shook her head, "No, I still have to see my aunt."

Mu Shaoyan: ? ? ?

Mu Shaoyan said sarcastically, "Fine, I'm not even my father anymore, and you don't even eat with me anymore~ In another two years, I don't think you'll need to come see me anymore. Let this uncle of mine, the only uncle who isn't my father, fend for himself~"

Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?

Ye Qingxi was once again left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

“How could that be?” he said.

"Then I'll eat with you until the end, and then I'll go find my aunt," Ye Qingxi said kindly.

"That's more like it." Mu Shaoyan pinched his cheek. "Is the food at her place as delicious as the food here?"

Ye Qingxi: ...That smells pretty good too. He and his aunt have similar tastes in some ways.

However, he didn't say this, for fear that his uncle would make sarcastic remarks again.

They had a meal at Mu Shaoyan and Duan Yi's house.

Ye Qingxi helped them throw away their trash and then strolled over to Mu Shaoting's house.

As soon as he entered, he saw Mu Ge playing with a remote-controlled race car. Upon seeing him, Mu Ge immediately ran over.

"Brother." Mu Ge hugged him affectionately and asked with concern, "Have you eaten? We're having a really big lobster today, it's huge! Do you want some?"

"I've already eaten at your uncle's house," Ye Qingxi said.

Mu Ge pouted, "Why are we eating at my uncle's house instead of my house?"

"Yes," Mu Shaoting also asked, "Why are you eating at your uncle's house and not at my house?"

"We arrived just in time for their mealtime," Ye Qingxi said.

Mu Shaoting looked at him and asked, "So you went to his house first, and then came to mine. What brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi felt that she truly understood her.

"There is something I need to take care of."

"What?" Mu Shaoting asked curiously.

"Don't be surprised when I tell you, Aunt."

Mu Shaoting laughed and said, "What's there to be surprised about?"

Li Jing, however, teased him rather leisurely, "Then surprise me~"

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi looked at them, then glanced at Xiao Muge, who was looking up at him with curiosity.

He then covered Xiao Muge's ears and said to Mu Shaoting and Li Jing, "I'm in a relationship, and my boyfriend is my brother!"

Mu Shaoting: !!!

Li Jing: !!!

That's really surprising!

"Your brother? Qin Cheng?!"

Ye Qingxi nodded.

Mu Ge struggled to look up at him, her face full of confusion, not understanding why he was covering his ears.

Ye Qingxi smiled. Actually, he didn't understand either, but he always felt that Mu Ge was too young to listen to such things, especially since he and Qin Cheng were always calling each other "brother" and "brother." What if they misled the child?

Ye Qingxi lowered her head and asked Mu Ge to go to his room and get her a picture book.

Mu Ge nodded and obediently ran towards his room.

Ye Qingxi then sat down next to Mu Shaoting and Li Jing and told them about the matter in detail.

Mu Shaoting was utterly dumbfounded!

Her brother is gay! Her younger brother is gay! Now her two nephews are all gay!

Ah, this...

Will Mu Ge also become gay in the future?!

Mu Shaoting: ...

Mu Shaoting felt that by then, she would probably be very calm. Once you've done it once, you'll get used to it the second time, and the third time you won't be surprised anymore, let alone the fourth time.

I just hope his dad can hold on then!

"What did your grandfather, father, and uncle say?"

“They all agreed,” Ye Qingxi said.

Mu Shaoting guessed that was right, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to walk into their house so easily.

"I never imagined that in the end your uncle and I would become the odd ones out in the family."

Ye Qingxi: It seems... that's really true.

"But how did you two get together?" Mu Shaoting asked, puzzled. "When did that happen?"

“Just last September,” Ye Qingxi said.

"Don't you... feel awkward?"

Ye Qingxi shook her head, "Of course not. We both knew from the moment we met that we weren't really brothers. So in a sense, we're similar to you and my uncle, childhood friends."

Upon hearing this, Mu Shaoting chuckled, "If that's the case, then your uncle used to have a crush on me? What, does Xiao Cheng have a crush on you too?"

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi felt a little embarrassed.

Looking at him like this, Mu Shaoting exclaimed in surprise, "He really has a crush on you?!"

“My uncle-in-law also has a crush on me,” Ye Qingxi immediately said. “It just goes to show that having a crush is a normal human experience!”

After saying that, he added, "My uncle also had a crush on her!"

Mu Shaoting: ...

Mu Shaoting propped his chin up. "That's really true."

"Looking at it this way, it's actually your dad who's the loner."

Ye Qingxi: "...Maybe it's because my daddy grew up abroad."

In foreign countries, it seems like the idea of ​​having a secret crush isn't popular.

Mu Shaoting looked at him and said, "In the blink of an eye, you've reached the age of dating. This really proves what I wrote in my childhood essay: Time flies like an arrow."

"That's right," Li Jing thought to himself. When he first met Ye Qingxi, she was just a little kid. Now, his own little kid is running all over the house.

"I'll take Coco back tomorrow. Let your grandfather see the hope of the Mu family and comfort him," Mu Shaoting said, feeling sorry for his elderly father.

Ye Qingxi nodded, "That would be perfect!"

"Wait a minute..." Mu Shaoting suddenly realized something, "You just came from your uncle's place, which means! Ye Qingxi, you told Mu Shaoyan before telling me, am I not as important to you as Mu Shaoyan?!"

Ye Qingxi: ? ? ? !!!

no!

He's grown so big!

Why do we need to bring water?

Ye Qingxi could only smile and say, "How could that be? I was just passing by on my way back, and I stopped by my uncle's house."

"Really?" Mu Shaoting teased him.

Ye Qingxi nodded, "Of course. Aunt, you know me, we're loyal dessert buddies!"

Li Jing listened, leaning back on the sofa, trying hard not to laugh.

On the other side, Mu Ge ran down the stairs with a "thump thump thump" in his hand, holding his favorite picture book.

"Here you go." He handed the picture book to Ye Qingxi. "Brother, take a look."

"Okay." Ye Qingxi felt as if she had been granted a pardon!

He truly is his good younger brother!

In crucial moments, we still have to rely on him!

He touched Mu Ge's hair, opened the picture book, and began to tell him the story in the book.

Everyone in the Mu family knows about this except for Old Master Feng, who used to live here but went back home for the New Year and hasn't returned yet.

When Ye Qingxi passed by Grandpa Feng's villa, she missed him quite a bit.

I wonder what his great-grandfather would think if he knew about his relationship?

To be honest, besides Mu Feng, Ye Qingxi was most worried about him.

After all, Old Master Feng is really old, and Ye Qingxi is genuinely afraid; this news is too shocking for him.

Therefore, Ye Qingxi was not very keen on calling or video chatting with Grandpa Feng.

But who knows when Grandpa Feng will return?

It can't be that everyone else knows, but he only finds out months later, can it?

Ye Qingxi pondered for a couple of minutes, and that very evening, after returning home, she discussed it with Mu Shaowu and Feng Que, saying, "I want to go to S City to see my great-grandfather."

"You want to tell your great-grandfather about you and Xiao Cheng, right?" Mu Shaowu knew exactly what he was thinking.

Ye Qingxi nodded, "No one knows a son better than his father!"

"Um."

“Go ahead,” Mu Shaowu said. “I’ll go with you.”

"No need," Ye Qingxi refused. "I'm not a child anymore, I can go by myself."

Moreover, his father is very busy.

Mu Shaowu thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so he didn't insist anymore.

Ye Qingxi bought a plane ticket for the next day overnight and arrived in S City on the afternoon of the following day.

When Grandpa Feng saw him arrive, he was pleasantly surprised and said, "What brings you here?"

"I missed you," Ye Qingxi said sweetly. "Since you never go back, I had no choice but to come here by myself."

Grandpa Feng smiled and said softly, "I also want to go back, but I have something to do and can't get away. However, I will be back by April or May at the latest."

Ye Qingxi replied, "That's true, it's warmer here. Great-Grandpa, you can come back in the spring."

"Would you like to stay here for a few more days?" Old Master Feng invited.

"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied without refusing.

He spent a week in S City, accompanying Grandpa Feng to visit his elder brother, sister, and younger brother, and also meeting some other members of the Feng family.

On the last day, Ye Qingxi supported him and took a walk with him while telling him about her and Qin Cheng.

Grandpa Feng unconsciously stopped in his tracks.

In that instant, he belatedly realized, "You came to see me mainly for this, right?"

Ye Qingxi smiled at him, "I didn't want everyone to know but you didn't, nor did I want you to find out from other people, and I certainly didn't want to just tell you with a phone call, so I flew here myself."

Grandpa Feng looked at him and thought to himself, "He really does have good intentions."

"Are you afraid that if I hear this, I won't be able to catch my breath and will just die?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi quickly spat three times, saying, "Great-grandfather, spit it out!"

When Old Master Feng heard his familiar words, he was momentarily stunned into a daze.

In his memory, Ye Qingxi had said this to him three times.

The first time was when they had just met.

At that time, they had just given him a jade leaf bracelet. Ye Qingxi said that when he grew up, she would give him a jade phoenix. He laughed and said that he would wait and see. He would not close his eyes until he got the jade phoenix. Young Ye Qingxi was so frightened that she quickly told him to spit it out.

The second time was when he learned that Mu Shaowu and Feng Que were not really a couple. Ye Qingxi returned the jade bracelet he had given him, and he went to see him, saying that with Feng Que's personality, he might die before he even saw his great-grandson.

Ye Qingxi was so anxious that she quickly told him to spit it out.

There was a third time when he grew up and became the top scorer in the college entrance examination. He came to visit him. That time, he stayed at the Feng family's house for a long time, almost half a month. He teased him and said: What, are you afraid that you won't be able to see your great-grandfather next time you come?

Ye Qingxi was so frightened that she quickly told him to spit it out.

And then, this time.

He has always been very reluctant to use these kinds of words, from childhood to adulthood.

It seems I'm really afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll be gone.

To be honest, living to his age is already a long life, and even if he were to leave this world one day, he wouldn't feel any regret.

But perhaps he was reluctant to leave, which is why he lived year after year, enduring one winter and seeing off another spring.

He himself never expected that he could live so long.

Surprisingly, she had watched Ye Qingxi grow up from childhood to now, and even find someone he liked.

Grandpa Feng looked at the familiar emerald green jade pendant on his wrist.

All these years later, the jade pendant is still on his wrist.

Once he put it on, it seemed like he was prepared to wear it for the rest of his life.

He has always been a sentimental person, so he never wants to be hurt in relationships.

“When I was young, I was quite unconventional in a way when I liked your great-grandmother, especially since I settled abroad for her sake.”

“But I don’t regret it,” said Grandpa Feng. “If I could do it all over again, I would probably still make the same choice and stay with her.”

"So, Xiaoxi, as long as you don't regret it, go ahead and like it."

"Even if I regret it someday, it's not a big deal. I can just leave him."

"In this life, your destiny is in your own hands, and so is your love. So, as long as you are true to yourself, that's enough."

"As long as you feel happy today, that's all that matters."

"Everything else is negotiable."
