Chapter 84 Meeting the Parents
During the rest of the trip, Huo Yan did not speak to Ye Leyao again. He held his phone and kept tapping away while sitting opposite Ye Leyao.
Ye Leyao did not care because he was chatting with Qin Yao the whole time.
Huo Yan knew that Ye Leyao was chatting with Qin Yao, but he did not hear Ye Leyao's thoughts during the rest of the trip. It was not
until the plane was about to take off that Ye Leyao sent the last message to Qin Yao and turned on the flight mode. Looking at the chat history between the two, Ye Leyao sighed:
[Hey, I just separated from President Qin not long ago, why do I suddenly miss him? ]
Huo Yan, who was sitting in another seat in the business class: "..."
I can't stand it!
I really can't stand it!
How long have we been together?
Just three days, and you miss Qin Yao after such a short separation?
Ye Leyao is even more love-minded than him!
Huo Yan continued to write furiously in the family group, but before he finished sending this long string of messages, the flight attendant came over to remind him to turn off his phone.
There was no other way, Huo Yan could only turn off his phone angrily.
Tomorrow, no, he would hold a family meeting when he returned home tonight!
Ye Leyao and Qin Yao could not be together any longer.
Ye Leyao, who was sitting in the front seat, had no idea what Huo Yan was thinking. He had been recording a program all day and was taken to the plane by Huo Yan in the middle of the night. Not long after the plane took off, Ye Leyao fell asleep.
In the short two hours, he had a dream that he would remember for a long time... No, maybe this was not a dream.
He appeared on the familiar balcony again. This time, Ye Leyao was very excited. He didn't even look at the oat milk that had been placed there. He walked towards the bedroom excitedly.
The man had just finished taking a shower and was standing in the cloakroom, naked, preparing to put on his clothes.
Hearing the sound, he turned around with a little shock and met Ye Leyao's confused eyes.
The man's cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He then turned around quickly, put on his bathrobe, and his voice seemed to tremble slightly: "Why did you come in suddenly?"
Ye Leyao tilted his head: "You suddenly barged in... So you think I shouldn't have come in directly now, then should I apologize to you?"
The man was slightly startled when he heard this, and then a trace of helplessness flashed across his eyes. He reached out to cover his hot face, and calmed down for several seconds before saying: "It's okay, it's not your fault, I didn't tell you before. Before you come in to see me in the future, remember to knock "Go to the door."
Ye Leyao said, "Then remember to knock next time I come in."
The man hummed, and was about to say that the milk was ready, when he suddenly heard Ye Leyao continue to ask, "I have a question."
The man asked, "What?"
Ye Leyao's eyes were clear, and his tone was sincere and very straightforward: "Can you take off your bathrobe? I found that you have a good figure, can you show it to me again?"
Man: "..."
The man maintained the posture just now, his whole body was stiff, standing there motionless, and even his neck was covered with a beautiful blush.
Ye Leyao smiled suddenly, and the gentle voice of the flight attendant happened to sound, awakening him from the fragmented memory.
Huo Yan had already stood up, his eyes fell on Ye Leyao's raised mouth, he casually asked: "What's wrong?"
Ye Leyao stood up and shook his head.
After a few seconds, he smiled and said: "I just thought of something interesting."
Huo Yan asked: "What?"
Ye Leyao did not answer.
This dream was very short, without cause and effect, but Ye Leyao unexpectedly connected this memory with other fragments.
The man seemed to stand there in silence for a long time, so long that Ye Leyao could clearly see the blush on his face slowly fade away, so long that Ye Leyao was a little impatient. When he was hesitating whether to go out to drink milk first, the man whispered: "Have you seen other people's figures?"
Ye Leyao said without thinking: "Yes."
The man didn't blush this time. His eyes were deep and he looked at Ye Leyao without blinking. There were complex emotions in them that Ye Leyao couldn't understand at that time.
Until the end, the man didn't agree to take off his clothes and let Ye Leyao see his figure again.
But fortunately, Ye Leyao now understands that the emotion in the man's eyes at that time was dissatisfaction, jealousy, and a strong sense of helplessness.
…
It was already 12:30 in the morning when he got home. The housekeeper opened the door, and Ye Leyao looked at the people in the living room in surprise.
[Is today a big day? It's fine if the third brother is at home, but why is the eldest brother here too? ]
[Also, it's so late, why haven't Mr. and Mrs. Huo gone to bed yet? ]
"Dad and Mom, are you waiting for us to come back?" Ye Leyao asked with a smile.
Hearing this, the whole family looked at Huo Yan behind Ye Leyao.
Dad and Mom Huo were indeed waiting for Ye Leyao to come back, but Huo Jing and Huo Ze were not. They came back specifically because of the family meeting that was about to take place tonight.
Mother Huo stood up and said, "They came back for other things. Xiaoyao, are you hungry? I made soup for you guys."
The filming had lasted all day, and they didn't rest for long at night. Ye Leyao was brought back by Huo Yan. He was hungry and sleepy at this time. Hearing what Mother Huo said, he hugged Mother Huo with emotion: "Hungry! Mother Huo is still good to me!" Mother Huo
smiled: "Let's go, drink soup."
After eating and drinking, Ye Leyao felt even more sleepy. He said hello to the others and went upstairs first.
Half an hour later, Ye Leyao's inner voice came from upstairs——
[Ah, it's too late, too late, send a message to President Qin first, and then I'll go to sleep...]
This voice was silent as it spoke.
Only then did the Huo family's family meeting officially begin.
Huo Yan was the first to speak: "Whether you agree or not, I absolutely disagree!"
Huo Ze followed closely: "I don't agree either. How old is Ye Leyao? He is even younger than me. What's the point of talking about love at such a young age? Big brother, don't you agree?"
The eyes of the whole family fell on Huo Jing. Huo Jing pondered for a moment and nodded gently: "Although Qin Yao is indeed excellent and treats Xiaoyao very well. But the affairs of their group are too complicated. Yu Bai, who was exposed some time ago, is also Gu Song's man. I think if Xiaoyao is with Qin Yao at this time, he will inevitably be involved in their family disputes in the future."
Huo Jing's words were well-reasoned and instantly won the praise of Huo Yan and Huo Ze.
"Yes, Ye Leyao is such a simple person, why does he have to get involved in the affairs of the Qin family?" Huo Ze snorted.
Huo's father and mother looked at each other and never said a word.
Huo Jing did not speak again after he finished speaking his opinion. Instead, Huo Ze and Huo Yan began to list the reasons why they disagreed.
The more Huo's father and mother listened, the more sleepy they became. When Huo Yan was about to start making excuses again, Huo's mother finally couldn't help but interrupt him: "Okay, since you don't agree, then you can go and talk to Xiaoyao yourself."
Huo's father also said: "Dating is originally a matter between two people. I think Xiaoyao just needs to be happy. But since you have such a strong opinion, why don't you go and talk to Xiaoyao yourself and listen to his ideas?"
Huo Yan and Huo Ze looked at each other, and Huo Ze was the first to say: "Okay!"
Huo Yan thought for a while and said: "But every time I talk to Ye Leyao, he always..."
The others looked up at him instantly.
What would happen?
Huo Ze suddenly realized: "Will I use Su Rui's matter to stab you?"
Huo Yan: "...Can you shut up if you can't speak!"
Huo Ze chuckled.
Not to mention that Ye Leyao likes to use this matter to stab Huo Yan, who in their family doesn't like to use this matter to stab him?
Even Huo Yan's fans like to bring this matter up every now and then and repeatedly smear the corpse.
Huo's father and mother couldn't help laughing happily. It was not
until he received Huo Yan's death stare that Huo's father slightly restrained his smile: "You have to go and talk about this matter by yourselves. After all, your mother and I don't object."
"That's right," Huo's mother said, "You figure it out by yourselves. It's very late. Your father and I are going to rest first."
After throwing down this sentence, Huo's father and mother went upstairs.
Huo Ze was also about to go back to rest, but Huo Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm. Huo
Ze was in a daze: "Huh?"
Huo Yan called out to Huo Jing, who was about to get up: "Brother, you have to take care of this matter, right?"
He couldn't just let him and Huo Ze persuade Ye Leyao, right?
Huo Jing paused, stood there thinking for a moment and said: "Okay, I'll talk to Xiaoyao tomorrow morning."
Huo Yan and Huo Ze smiled instantly.
Good! Very good!
With the addition of Huo Jing, a shopping mall negotiation expert, how can they lose? They
won't lose at all!
The three brothers, it's rare that they have reached a high degree of unity in their opinions on this matter.
Ye Leyao, who was sleeping soundly, had no idea that his three brothers had formed a "split" team, ready to "persuade" him at any time.
Ye Leyao slept soundly this time, and in this dream, he found another small piece of memory fragment.
However, the other character in this dream was not Qin Yao, but the whole family of the Huo family.
Ye Leyao in the memory was not tall, but the heights of Huo Jing, Huo Yan and Huo Ze were about the same as now.
Ye Leyao hid alone in the swimming pool yard of the Huo family villa. This distance was very safe, not too close to the swimming pool he was afraid of, and he could also observe the whole family of the Huo family very well.
It snowed tonight, and a vast expanse of white fell on the grass, gradually piling up into a thick layer. On such a snowy day, their family sat together for a barbecue.
Huo's father and mother were close together, eating barbecue and chatting.
Huo Jing sat upright, with a computer in front of him.
Huo Yan seemed tired from eating, and was lying on a recliner with a heavy blanket covering him.
Huo Ze sat at the edge, talking to Huo Yan while playing games.
Ye Leyao must have been able to hear something from this distance, but for some reason, he couldn't hear a word they said.
Even as he listened, his eyelids became heavy, until he could no longer understand what was happening, and heard the surprised voice of Mr. Huo: "When did a child come to our garden?"
Mrs. Huo was surprised: "A child? Didn't it snow all night last night?"
Mr. Huo picked up Ye Leyao, brushed off all the snow that had accumulated on him, reached out and touched his forehead, and rushed into the villa quickly: "Quick! Call a doctor! He's still alive--"
Ye Leyao vaguely heard that the Huo family was in chaos, but his eyelids could not be closed. He was held in Mr. Huo's arms, and he felt that this embrace was unusually warm-a warmth he had never experienced before.
The morning sun penetrated through the gap in the curtains and gradually climbed onto Ye Leyao's face.
The crow-feather-like eyelashes seemed to be wet by something, and they drooped together wetly. Until the eyelids of the owner of the eyelashes moved slightly, the eyelashes stuck together by tears gradually opened.
Ye Leyao opened his eyes and finally realized that he seemed to be dreaming all the time recently.
But every time he woke up, he always put these dreams behind his mind.
The subconscious seemed to remind him that these were not important.
Why was it not important?
Ye Leyao didn't even think about it deeply, and the subconscious blocked this question before he thought.
Ye Leyao blinked slowly, then sat up suddenly:
[Mr. Qin! Did Mr. Qin send me a message? ! ]
At the same time in the restaurant downstairs.
Huo Yan slammed the table: "See, he just woke up and started talking about Qin Yao again! You still say Ye Leyao is not a love-brained person?"
Huo's father drank a mouthful of porridge: "It's okay, I was like this when your mother and I were in love."
Huo's mother smiled gently: "If you don't think about Qin Yao after waking up, that would be a big problem."
Huo Yan snorted and turned to look at Huo Jing: "Brother, don't forget it later."
Huo Jing nodded after finishing a document.
Mother Huo looked at Huo Yan and suddenly thought of a question: "By the way, second brother, why do you not want Xiaoyao and Qin Yao to be together?"
Huo Yan was stunned: "Huh?"
"Why do you ask that?" Huo Ze was puzzled, "Don't my eldest brother and I also not want Ye Leyao and Qin Yao to be together?"
"It's different," said Mother Huo, "In our family, the only one who least wants Xiaoyao and Qin Yao to be together is your second brother."
Father Huo nodded after hearing this: "Yes."
Although Huo Jing and Huo Ze also opposed it, their expressions were obviously not as strong as Huo Yan's.
Mother Huo suddenly said: "You are not really jealous, are you?"
Because of your own failure, you don't allow others to succeed?
Huo Yan's face darkened in an instant: "How is it possible! I am..."
In fact, Huo Yan had thought about this question, but the result of deep thinking made Huo Yan feel very incredible.
He didn't want Ye Leyao and Qin Yao to be together because he felt that it would be dangerous for Ye Leyao and Qin Yao to be together.
But what danger could Ye Leyao be in?
Being involved in the Qin family's mess?
What kind of mess could the Qin family have?
Besides, everyone in their family is here, who can touch Ye Leyao?
Huo Yan couldn't figure it out, so he didn't say what he was thinking, and only said: "Anyway, I just don't want them to be together."
"Then aren't you being unreasonable?" Huo's mother glared at Huo Yan.
Ye Leyao just happened to hear: "Who is making trouble?"
Mother Huo turned around and smiled: "Xiaoyao is awake? Come and have breakfast!"
Ye Leyao walked over with a smile:
[I'm so happy today! ]
Huo Yan's eyelids jumped.
Huo Jing glanced at Huo Ze.
Huo Ze cleared his throat and was about to ask Ye Leyao if he was happy about being in love, when he heard Ye Leyao say:
[It feels like our family hasn't gathered together for breakfast for a long time! ]
[So happy! ]
Huo Ze: "..."
Huo Ze covered his face with his hands.
Some time ago, Huo Jing and Huo Yan would go home for dinner every now and then. Wasn't he the only one who was absent?
But he just wanted to tease Ye Leyao, asking if he was happy because he was in love...
How could he think of Ye Leyao like that? !
Huo Ze felt extremely guilty, and couldn't say the words he had just prepared. He could only give Huo Jing and Huo Yan a look of encouragement.
Huo Yan: "..."
Ye Leyao hadn't even opened his mouth to speak, and Huo Ze actually backed out? !
Looking at Huo Jing again, Huo Jing was still using his tablet to handle company affairs. After hearing what Ye Leyao said, he hesitated for a moment, but still put down the tablet and said to Ye Leyao: "Hurry up and sit down, let's eat together."
Huo Yan: "..."
No way, my eldest brother is also going to back out?
Ye Leyao responded and sat down next to Huo Ze.
The Huo family's breakfast caters to everyone's taste. Ye Leyao likes to drink milk in the morning, so Huo's mother specially made a cup of oat milk for Ye Leyao this morning, which he mentioned before.
The oat milk made by each person tastes different. The milk made by Huo's mother is not as sweet as Qin Yao's, but it is also very delicious.
Ye Leyao finished a glass of milk, then picked up a bun and ate it slowly.
Huo Yan drank a mouthful of porridge and winked at Huo Jing.
Can you speak now?
If you don't speak, what if he says he wants to see Qin Yao after breakfast?
Huo Jing is more patient than Huo Yan. He waited quietly for Ye Leyao to finish a bun and two steamed dumplings before clearing his throat: "Xiaoyao..."
At this moment, Huo Jing's mobile phone, which was placed aside, rang.
Huo Yan instantly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Ye Leyao raised his head at the right time and said, "Huh?"
[What did Big Brother call me for? ]
The phone rang for three seconds, and Huo Jing said, "I'll take a call first."
This call was very important.
Huo Yan secretly clenched his fists.
Didn't he just want to talk to Ye Leyao?
Why do accidents keep happening?
Huo Yan was angry and drank up the remaining porridge in his bowl in one gulp.
Huo Jing was already chatting with the person opposite him.
His voice was low, but very pleasant to the ear, but Ye Leyao didn't listen to any of his questions. After listening for a while, Ye Leyao felt dizzy.
Ye Leyao couldn't help but sigh: [Don't mention it, Big Brother is pretty awesome. Huo
Ze glanced at Huo Yan, and then quickly looked at Huo Jing.
Huo Jing obviously didn't expect Ye Leyao to suddenly praise him, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face.
The assistant on the other end of the phone proposed two route analyses. Huo Jing thought for a moment: "Let's take the first one. The route here is more familiar and will be safer."
Ye Leyao's head was originally dizzy, but when he heard this, his eyes suddenly opened up.
[Route? Um——]
Ye Leyao's tone was drawn out, and the whole family's eyes looked over in an instant.
During this time, Ye Leyao frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he muttered in his heart:
[Why do I feel that this part of the plot seems to be quite important?]
Huo Jing paused.
The assistant's voice on the other end of the phone continued, but after a long time, Huo Jing didn't say the next sentence. The assistant couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Huo?"
Huo Jing stood up with his phone, walked to the backyard and whispered, "Wait a moment."
At this time, Ye Leyao had already taken out his phone at the dining table and opened the memo skillfully.
[Found it! ]
[Ah, there is really something wrong with the route chosen by my brother! ]
[It's just that the description here is not very comprehensive. It just says that a few days later, a typhoon will turn and pass through this route. Not only will there be problems with this batch of goods, but even many good crew members on the transport ship are missing...]
Hearing this, the whole family's heart suddenly rose.
Huo's father stood up and walked towards Huo Jing: "Is it the batch of goods ordered some time ago?"
Huo Jing hung up the phone and nodded: "Yes."
Originally, they had agreed with the factory to deliver the goods half a month ago, but due to a little accident at the factory, the delivery time was delayed, so they were so anxious to ship this batch of goods back.
But now after hearing what Ye Leyao said, Huo Jing hesitated for a moment.
If something happens to the cargo, there is insurance, and you can re-order it.
But if the crew is missing, that means their lives are in danger.
Although Huo Jing is not sure whether the incident mentioned by Ye Leyao will actually happen, for the sake of insurance -
Huo Jing said: "I'll let them take it easy first."
Huo's father nodded when he heard this: "This is the safest way. It will only be about a week late. We can still afford this loss!"
Huo Jing nodded.
The father and son quickly discussed it.
At this time, Ye Leyao was still struggling:
[So how should I remind my eldest brother tactfully! If this route is really taken...]
"Have you finished the call?" At this moment, Huo's mother's voice rang.
Ye Leyao looked up and saw Huo's father and Huo Jing walking back together.
Huo Jing said, "Well, we talked about the transportation of goods." He glanced at Ye Leyao and continued, "Originally, we planned to ship the goods back tomorrow, but I suddenly remembered that a batch of materials I purchased was about to reach the delivery date. I thought about it and decided to wait until then to ship them back together."
Ye Leyao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
[I was shocked. Fortunately, my brother changed his mind. Now I don't have to worry. That's great! ]
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Ye Leyao.
Ye Leyao had finished his breakfast and poured himself a glass of milk. He took a big sip and his eyes were bent with laughter.
Huo Jing stared at Ye Leyao for a few seconds, and his heart suddenly softened.
Although Ye Leyao had just turned eighteen, he was indeed an adult.
When the younger brother grows up, he will always fall in love.
Even if Qin Yao is not around, Ye Leyao will bring back a stranger one day in the future and introduce him to them as his partner.
Rather than betting on a dog man of unknown character, it is better to agree to let Ye Leyao and Qin Yao be together.
After all, they know Qin Yao inside and out. If Ye Leyao is really bullied by Qin Yao in the future, they can go together as a family to ask for an explanation!
Thinking of this, Huo Jing retracted his gaze.
So be it.
As soon as Huo Jing retracted his gaze, Huo Yan suddenly became anxious.
No, just let it go?
Brother!
How can you just let it go?
Huo Yan frequently glanced at Huo Jing, but Huo Jing always ignored his gaze.
Huo Jing didn't say a word until Ye Leyao had finished eating and went upstairs to change clothes. As
soon as Ye Leyao left, Huo
Yan couldn't help it: "Brother! Why don't you say anything!" Huo Jing cleared his throat: "What?"
Huo Yan: "..."
Okay, he saw that Huo Jing was just going to play dumb!
Huo Yan went to see Huo Ze again.
Huo Ze coughed twice: "Second brother, you know, if it weren't for Ye Leyao, my team would definitely be a mess..."
He just thought about it seriously. Although Qin Yao is indeed a little older than Ye Leyao, men are more caring!
And when Huo Ze wanted to start a team, Ye Leyao was the first person in the family to support him.
Why should he oppose Ye Leyao's turn to fall in love?
If Ye Leyao knew about this, he would definitely be sad!
Huo Yan: "..."
"You are really unreliable!" Huo Yan was angry.
Seeing this, Huo's mother had a headache: "So why are you so persistent?"
Now their whole family, except Huo Yan, agrees with this marriage!
Of course, Huo Yan couldn't say what he really thought. Suddenly, a ridiculous and bold guess flashed through his mind.
Huo Yan looked at Huo's mother and pursed his lips: "I... When recording this episode of the variety show, I found a problem."
The eyes of the whole family looked over at the same time.
Huo's father asked: "What's the problem?"
Huo Yan thought for two seconds and decided to express his guess: "I suspect that Qin Yao can also hear Ye Leyao's thoughts."
At this moment, Ye Leyao's excited voice came from upstairs:
[Huh? Invite me to attend his mother's birthday party? Doesn't that mean I'll be meeting his parents soon? 】
Huo Yan gritted his teeth: "Look! How can this be allowed!"
