"Another one?" Qu Feng stood up suddenly. "Could it be that my brother or sister-in-law are also alive?"

Yan Changge: “…”

Qu Feng quickly calmed down: "No, this is unlikely. They are different from Xiao Hui. I collected their bodies with my own hands back then..."

"Ahem," Ning Buzhe saw Yan Changge's mysterious expression and knew that he was in a bad mood and would most likely release murderous intent soon. Even if it was for his uncle whom he had just met, he couldn't let the atmosphere continue to be awkward. "Mr. Qu... No, uncle, I think Yan Changge might be talking about himself."

"Impossible!" Qu Feng shook his head violently and said to Ning Buzhe, "Your parents have a very good relationship, and Qu Yan is also an upright person. There is absolutely no such thing as a prostitute out there! The Qu family cannot have an illegitimate child. There must be only you two children!"

Ning Buzhan Qu Lian: "..."

Even Qu Rui could see that Yan Changge looked unhappy. He reached out and tugged at his father's sleeve, whispering, "Dad, there is another way to recognize relatives, called marriage."

Yan Changge's momentum slowed down a bit, and he glanced at Qu Rui with a look that said "You are very sensible".

As a newcomer in the business world, Qu Rui is very courageous, but now he gets goosebumps all over his body after being swept by Yan Changge's eyes. He felt that Yan Changge had some intentions towards the Qu family since the first time he met him, and now it seems that his initial hunch was right! Compared to money, the Qu family values ​​family more. In their eyes, Qu Lian is the biggest treasure in the family.

Qu Feng was from the older generation. When he got married and had children, same-sex marriage was not legal in China. Even after it was legalized, the older generation never thought that their children and nephews would have same-sex marriages. So at first he didn't think Yan Changge was talking about him and Qu Lian. Now that he finally understood, his expression was very bad. He actually looked at Yan Changge with anger.

Seeing that his uncle was so angry, Qu Lian quickly stood up and said, "Uncle, it's all my fault. You all know that Yan Changge is a gentleman, a kind man who would pick up a cat or a dog if he saw one on the street. Look, my family has so many cats and dogs now. I used to be cynical and didn't care about men or women, but when I saw Yan Changge, I fell in love with him at first sight. I first offered to be his bodyguard to lure him, then offered him the position of a worshiper in the Qu family to lure him, and finally I got this guy. I was planning to just play with him and then get rid of him, but he was so nice that I fell in love with him and wanted to spend my life with him. I was worried that there would be no one to help my parents pass on the family line, but now that I have my elder brother, I can be with Yan Changge even more!"

Ning Buzhe: "..."

Suddenly I felt that all the joy I had just felt when I met my biological parents was gone, and I felt a lot more pressured for no apparent reason.

Although Qu Feng had lived many years and had a lot of experience, this was the first time he had seen someone come out of the closet so confidently, and he was immediately speechless. It wasn't that he didn't know how to refute Qu Lian, but he didn't know where to start. There were too many things to say, and he needed to organize his words.

However, Qu Lian did not give Qu Feng a chance to speak. He took a breath and continued, "And you don't know, I have encountered five disasters. I implicated my family when I was five and fifteen years old. When I was twenty-five, Yan Changge was struck by lightning for saving me. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been killed long ago, but Yan Changge not only survived, but also protected me. People like me will face death disasters when I am thirty-five or forty-five years old. Will I implicate my uncle, aunt and cousin? Will I implicate my wife and children? But it's different with Yan Changge. He can protect me. In fact, I am the one who dragged him down."

Before everyone could digest the fact of the death, Yan Changge immediately held Qu Lian's hand, kissed the back of her hand affectionately, and said softly: "How can you be a burden? Meeting you is my greatest happiness, and protecting you is the greatest value of my existence. Only when I have someone to share life and death with, my life will be complete. Don't say anything about being a burden again, and don't deny my happiness."

"Yan Changge..." Qu Lian's eyes were red with emotion. In full view of everyone, he threw himself into Yan Changge's arms and rubbed his face against his strong chest.

Everyone: “…”

"Ahem," Ning Buzhe coughed twice and said, "It's actually nothing. Same-sex marriage is now legal. It's something the country recognizes, so we can't go against the law, right? As for the child... I will find someone I love as soon as possible."

"Brother!" Qu Lian instantly moved from Yan Changge's arms to Ning Buzhe's arms, and said with emotion, "I knew it was best to have a brother!"

Ning Buzhe: "..."

Qu Feng finally came back to his senses from the pile of information and said seriously: "No matter what you say, I won't..."

Yan Changge glanced at Qu Feng calmly, and released a murderous aura. He had never released a murderous aura directly in front of the Qu family, and he had been suppressing it. This made Qu Feng feel that he was not a good person at first glance, but he never thought that this person was very scary. However, now, Qu Feng felt as if he had the cold blade of death against his throat. If he said one more word, he would bleed on the spot!

Yan Changge's eyes swept from Qu Feng to Qu Rui. He said softly, "Brother has already expressed his position. What are your plans, cousin?"

As he spoke, he walked towards Qu Rui and gently raised his hand to put on Qu Rui's shoulder. In an instant, Qu Rui felt as if he was being pressed down by a thousand pounds. His back bent instantly, and his breathing was controlled. Only very little air flowed into his lungs. The feeling of suffocation made him want to push Yan Changge's arm away and jump out of the window to escape from this house. But he could not do anything. He could only say with difficulty under Yan Changge's sight: "Of course I agree......"

Qu Rui tried to say "no", but before his mouth shape changed and before he could make a sound, it felt like a big hand was tightly strangling his throat, making him unable to utter a single word. But when he said the word "agree", his breathing became smoother.

Qu Rui looked at Yan Changge in shock. This man only allowed him to say what he wanted to hear.

"My cousin also agreed, that's great." Yan Changge smiled slightly and took his hand off Qu Rui's shoulder. Qu Rui instantly felt his whole body lighten, and fresh air rushed into his lungs, pulling him back from the brink of death.

"Aunt..." Yan Changge was about to walk towards his great aunt when Qu Lian ran out of her arms, grabbed Yan Changge's hand, and said to his great aunt, "Aunt, I grew up with you since I was a child. Can I get your blessing?"

The eldest aunt had been thinking and digesting Qu Lian's words, and had never felt the terrible murderous aura. Now seeing Qu Lian asking her expectantly, she pondered for a moment and said, "Although same-sex marriage is now legal, this group has always been weak, and many traditional Chinese people will still discriminate against you. As a mother, of course I hope my children can take a smoother path, after all, this road is not easy. And if a family does not have children, the two people will have conflicts after being together for a long time. But even though same-sex marriage has so many hidden dangers and difficulties, as long as you choose it and you feel happy, I will support you."

Yan Changge was slightly stunned, then he put away his terrifying murderous aura and looked seriously into his aunt's eyes.

The aunt turned to Yan Changge and said, "Don't look at my age. I'm no worse than the young people when it comes to surfing the Internet. In the past six months, the Internet in Lincheng has been full of news about you, such as 'The Strongest Motorcycle Policeman', 'The Flying Man on the Racecourse', 'The Nightmare of the Underground Boxing Ring', and disaster relief. I've seen them all. I also follow your Weibo and know that you are just as Xiaolian described, an upright, capable and compassionate young man. I believe in your character. As for your feelings, although we haven't had a deep contact, from what I can see today, you love Xiaolian very much and you have a good relationship."

"Even so, I still want to ask you, are you determined to spend your life with Xiaolian? You have to know that marriage is not just a matter between two people, but also between two families. I know you love him, but are you willing to love this family for him? If you don't have a good relationship with us, Xiaolian will not be happy either."

"My parents died a long time ago," Yan Changge said, "I can say that I am a rootless person. Coming to the Qu family and seeing the affection between the Qu family members, I was very moved and envious. If you are willing to accept me, I would be honored to be a member of this family."

The eldest aunt smiled with satisfaction and was about to say something when Qu Feng interrupted her: "Then marry in and take your husband's surname in the family tree."

Unable to embarrass his wife and unable to even utter the words of refusal due to the killing rage, Qu Feng could only ignore his wife's look and say these words to embarrass her.

"Very good," Yan Changge said with a happy face, "Speaking of which, I didn't know my last name at first. I chose the last name 'Yan' because I have an ancient jade from the Yan Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. If I can be included in the family tree and change my last name to 'Qu', then I will truly have a family! Thank you, uncle!"

Qu Feng: “…”

If Shen Yifei or Director Xu were here, they would say "you deserve it" to Qu Feng. Who is Yan Changge? He can be on the news broadcast anytime and anywhere. If you want to embarrass him with words, he will just block you with words.

"This... Qu Changge..." Qu Lian frowned and thought for a long time, and said in embarrassment, "It doesn't sound very nice... Qu Yan Changge... sounds even worse. I think it's okay to put it in the family tree, but it's better to keep the original surname. Just put it in the Qu family tree with a different surname, and don't write "married into" or anything like that. It's best to write Qu Lian's partner, right, uncle?"

Qu Feng: “…”

"I think it's okay," the aunt nodded seriously, "After the new year when we start working officially, we'll get the marriage certificate, change our household registration, and choose a good day to get married."

Qu Feng: “…”

"Thank you, auntie!" Yan Changge bowed to her and said, "I have one more thing I want to report to you. This is something that Qu Lian and I have discussed privately, but without the consent of the elders, I feel it is not serious enough."

"We are a family from now on. If you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to be so polite. It will make us feel distant." The aunt said cheerfully.

Yan Changge said calmly, "It's like this. Although Qu Lian and I have decided to spend our lives together privately, we will never do anything without the consent of our families. It's too unfair to Qu Lian. But Qu Lian and I have an agreement, that is, every year when the old year turns to the new year, we must do it from the old year to the new year, which means that we will be so happy every year. Now the elders have agreed to let us be together, and the wedding will be next year. In order to make us happier next year, we choose tonight as our wedding night. Although we haven't gotten married yet, modern people don't have to be as restrained as in the past. Since our families have approved, we can rest assured to be together.

When the New Year bell rings in a while, the two of us will spend the night alone in Qu Lian's room. I hope my aunt can understand."

Qu Lian: “…”

Ning Buzhe: "..."

Aunt: “…”

Qu Rui: “…”

Qu Feng took advantage of Yan Changge's moment to gather his breath and finally shouted out what was in his heart: "I. Don't. Agree!"
