The steaming dumplings were served. Yu Qingtong didn't notice that her son specifically picked out the ugly ones to eat, but An Qingyan did notice. He silently lowered his head and ate his dumplings without saying a word.
He's the one who makes the ugliest ones.
"Yan Yan, eat more. It breaks my heart to see you so thin." Yu Qingtong warmly placed a large dumpling into the boy's bowl. "Eat more."
"Yes, thank you, Auntie."
The three of them finished eating dumplings in a harmonious atmosphere.
Yu Qingtong suddenly remembered this matter. She looked at Gu Fei with a smile and asked tentatively, "Son, you've been single for so long, don't you plan to find a partner?"
Mothers everywhere worry about their sons' love lives, especially since her son is so aloof and has never shown interest in any girl since he was a child.
If she doesn't urge him, Gu Fei might remain single for life. She doesn't necessarily want a grandson; she just wants her son to have a companion in the future so he won't be so lonely.
Gu Fei didn't speak, but glanced at An Qingyan beside him, seemingly unintentionally. His girlfriend was looking down, pretending to play with her phone, her long, drooping eyelashes concealing the emotions in her eyes.
The man pursed his lips, then looked away, his handsome face still bearing a calm expression. He said to Yu Qingtong indifferently, "You don't need to worry about this."
Yu Qingtong was unaware of the magnetic field between the two.
"We still need to be careful, Yan Yan, don't you agree?"
Suddenly cut off, An Qingyan raised his head blankly, feeling guilty and not daring to look Yu Qingtong in the eye. He could only stammer a reply: "Um... right."
"Yan Yan really understands me." With someone on her side, Yu Qingtong felt more confident. She took out her phone, opened the photo album, and handed it to Gu Fei. "Look, these girls are all pretty good."
Gu Fei: "..."
Even the renowned Master Gu has to face the troubles of being pressured to get married by his parents. Looking at the man's indescribable expression, An Qingyan couldn't help but secretly curl up her lips, revealing a gloating smile.
Gu Fei glanced casually at the screen, then looked at the smug boy beside him, and coldly uttered a sentence: "Not interested."
Gu Fei actually has very high standards. In his eyes, ordinary good-looking people are just average, very good-looking people are just okay, and An Qingyan is a celestial being in his eyes.
She is considered a celestial being because no one else can compare to her.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in his barren heart, only An Qingyan blossomed, and there was no room for anyone else.
Yu Qingtong's lips twitched, and she turned to An Qingyan for help, saying with a smile, "Yan Yan, didn't you also say that those girls are very nice, especially that one named Su Qianqian?"
With a thud, An Qingyan's smile froze, then turned bitter. He perfectly illustrated what it meant to dig a hole for yourself and then jump in happily.
Under the watchful eyes of Yu Qingtong, who seemed to have many relatives, and the meaningful look in Gu Fei's eyes, he forced a smile and said with difficulty, "Yes, Miss Su looks like a gentle and charming lady from a respectable family. She is really suitable for Brother Fei."
"Hmm...they're a good match," he added tremblingly.
Then, a deep male voice sounded in my ear: "Is that so? Yan Yan also wants me to meet that Miss Su?"
An Qingyan: "...Yes."
He almost bit his tongue as he spoke, and didn't even dare to look at the man's face.
"Since Yan Yan has said so, would you like to meet Miss Su? Her family is a scholarly family; her grandparents and parents are all university professors, and she has received a lot of education since childhood..."
Gu Fei: "Okay, I'll go."
Yu Qingtong: "???"
Gu Fei had already stood up, showing no intention of continuing the topic. His tone remained indifferent as he said, "I still have work to do, so I'll head back to my study." He glanced at An Qingyan with an ambiguous look before turning and leaving.
An Qingyan: "..." Oh no, oh no, oh no!
Is Gu Fei angry?
He swore that he didn't mean it from the bottom of his heart; he was forced to say it!
Yu Qingtong hadn't even reacted yet. He agreed already? That's it? When did her son become so easy to talk to?
"Yan Yan, it's all thanks to you! I never thought your words would be so effective!" Yu Qingtong gave An Qingyan a thumbs up without hesitation. "If Gu Fei gets a boyfriend, you'll be the biggest contributor. Auntie wants to thank you."
An Qingyan: "...You're welcome."
Gu Fei already has a girlfriend, so he offered himself up to Gu Fei as her girlfriend.
"I'll go tell Miss Su right now!" Yu Qingtong excitedly took her phone and walked out, but after taking a couple of steps, she turned back. "Yan Yan, when your brother Fei gets married, you'll be the best man!"
An Qingyan: "..."
Don't ask, the answer is I feel like dying.
It's impossible for a groomsman to be a groomsman.
Ugh, so frustrating. He slumped onto the sofa like a deflated balloon, his eyes drooping, his numb expression suggesting he had lost all hope for life.
Could it be that Gu Fei is really going to meet with that Miss Su?
An Qingyan immediately jumped up from the sofa, grabbed her phone, opened the browser, and typed rapidly in the search bar: How do I coax my boyfriend when he's angry?
He randomly clicked on a search result.
[Holding her arms around his neck, sitting on his lap, wrapping her legs around his waist, looking into his eyes, then hugging him tightly, whispering sweet nothings in his ear, and kissing him from his earlobe to his cheek, then down his Adam's apple...]
"..."
The imagery involuntarily flashed through the boy's mind, and his ears turned slightly red. He immediately exited the page. This... this was too embarrassing!
That's unreliable, absolutely unreliable!
After calming down for a moment and preparing himself mentally, An Qingyan went upstairs to the study and pressed his ear against the door to listen to what was happening inside, but he didn't hear anything.
Just then, with a click, the door was opened.
An Qingyan remained in the position of eavesdropping, then lost her balance and fell forward, landing right on the man's chest. She quietly raised her eyes and met those meaningful eyes.
Their eyes met.
"..."
He quickly steadied himself by the door frame, and before Gu Fei could speak, he preemptively said with great confidence, "I'm a little full after eating, so I thought I'd come and read to digest my food."
Gu Fei hummed in agreement. "Come in."
The study was large, with a bookshelf covering an entire wall, filled with all sorts of books, including world classics and children's books that had been specially sold to An Qingyan.
An Qingyan casually picked up a book and sat down at the desk next to the bookshelf, pretending to read it, but in reality, his gaze had already drifted to Gu Fei in front of him.
The man sat at his usual work desk, intently staring at the computer screen. From An Qingyan's perspective, all she could see was his broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted back.
He was mentally preparing what to say to break the deadlock.
After a moment, he tentatively asked, "Brother Fei, are you really going to meet that Miss Su?"
"Hmm." Gu Fei didn't turn around. His well-defined hands typed on the keyboard as he spoke in a calm tone, "Didn't Yan Yan want me to meet her?"
“No.” An Qingyan stood up excitedly, took two steps forward, paused, and then stepped back.
He lowered his head, absentmindedly picking at the table with his fingers, and muttered under his breath, "I only said this because I had no other choice. I don't want you to go on blind dates with other people."
Gu Fei: "You said we're a good match."
"..." Is this ever going to end?!
Does anyone else know that the famous Master Gu is so stingy?!
“You two are not a good match at all.” An Qingyan took another step, this time without turning back, and walked directly to the man’s side, taking his hand. “Brother Fei, we are the perfect match.”
The boy's voice softened, carrying a hint of goodwill.
It's all the same principle when it comes to coaxing people.
What goes around comes around. Gu Fei just coaxed him with desserts, now it's his turn to coax Gu Fei, but he doesn't have any desserts, so he'll have to find another way...
But the man didn't seem to be buying it. He just swallowed hard, maintaining his aloof and indifferent expression. He even pushed the boy's hand away and said with his thin lips, "Yan Yan, I need to work."
The meaning behind the words is simple: they're kicking people out.
This guy is arrogant, but much harder to appease than him.
An Qingyan sighed helplessly. His competitive spirit had also been ignited by Gu Fei. He wouldn't leave until he had appeased this man tonight. How had Gu Fei appeased him before?
After searching my mind for a moment, I quickly came to a conclusion.
He hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and ruffled Gu Fei's hair somewhat awkwardly. The short hair was still a little prickly. Meeting the man's eyes, which were filled with complex emotions, he said softly, "Fei Fei, be good, don't be angry."
Gu Fei: "..."
Cough... It seems this trick didn't work on Gu Fei.
An Qingyan smiled awkwardly and lowered his hand. It seemed he had to consider the actual situation. After all, he was already twenty-seven years old and couldn't be treated like a child.
But... something seems off?
Why could Gu Fei treat him like a child?
He's already nineteen!
"Is there anything else?" Gu Fei had no idea how rich the boy's inner thoughts were. He just wanted to see what other tricks the kid could use to coax him.
Master Gu wasn't angry at all, he was just very mean.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and sat on his lap...
An Qingyan tried hard to recall what she had just seen online, hesitated for a moment, and then began to perform the actual operation rather clumsily.
Before he could even make a move, the tips of his ears turned red. Under Gu Fei's probing gaze, An Qingyan reached out and wrapped his arms around the other's neck, then sat on the other's lap.
Next, um... wrap your legs around his waist?
An Qingyan kicked off her slippers and did as she was told.
"..." Gu Fei's tense face finally cracked a little.
