Night fell quietly, and the atmosphere in the Chao family was as shrouded in dark clouds, dull and oppressive. In the study, the lights seemed particularly glaring, as if every beam of light was silently asking something.
Chao Nanxing sat on a sofa in the study with a serious expression, his eyes revealing unspoken worry and expectation.
There was a subtle tension in the air, like a string about to break, which could burst out with unpredictable notes at any time.
Chao Youye stood at the door, his hand tightly gripping the door handle, as if that was his only support at the moment.
His heartbeat quickened, and his chest felt like thousands of troops were galloping, making every breath extremely difficult.
He knew very well that the next moment would determine the future direction of his relationship with Mu Xinrong, and might also completely change his relationship with his father.
"Come in, let's talk."
Chao Nanxing's voice was low and powerful, breaking the silence but also making the tense atmosphere even more intense.
Chao Youye walked in, and Chao Nanxing threw the intimate photo of the two of them in front of him.
"Explain what's going on?"
Although I was asking a question, I already knew the answer in my heart.
When he saw the photo clearly, Chao Youye's eyes widened slightly, which was rare, and his face was full of disbelief.
The sudden amount of information hit his heart like a bombshell, causing him to panic instantly.
His heart beat faster and his breathing became rapid, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.
However, this was only a brief moment. Chao Youye took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Literally."
These four simple words contain enormous destructive power.
"Do you know what you are doing? Chao Youye."
The arm pointing south was like a spring ready to explode, swung out quickly and forcefully, bringing with it a strong gust of wind and hitting the desk hard.
At that moment, there seemed to be a thunder explosion in the air, and the loud "bang" made Chao Youye's heart tremble.
He had never seen such a southbound journey...
The desk vibrated extremely violently, as if it couldn't withstand the force of the blow. The pen holder on it jumped suddenly, and several pens scattered to the ground. Papers also fluttered down like leaves caught in the wind.
Even the table legs trembled slightly because of the blow, making a slight "squeaking" sound.
However, right after this blow, Chao Nanxing suddenly stopped all his movements, as if nothing had happened. He slowly loosened his clenched fists, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed himself down.
Chao Nanxing had been abroad for many years and had seen this kind of relationship before, but he never expected that it would happen to his own son one day.
It seemed like he couldn't see through this son who was taller than him from the very beginning...even though he never cared about him...
"I won't agree to you two being together."
"We don't need your consent for what's going on between us."
"Have you ever taken care of me since I was a child? Why do you have the right to take care of me now?"
"I don't care what happens to you in the future, but don't forget your identity. Don't have thoughts that shouldn't be moved. What if you can distinguish between liking and loving someone? Can you be together for the rest of your life?"
"Love has no gender, only the bond of the heart."
"True love knows no gender; it only depends on the harmony of hearts."
"Love is free. It is not bound by gender but guided by the heart."
"Shut up!! Put away your thoughts, I won't agree to you two being together!"
Chao Youye suppressed all the emotions in his heart and raised his foot to prepare to leave.
"If you dare to step out of this door today, there will be no place for you in the Chao family."
Naked majesty and warning, but honestly speaking, is there really a place for him, Chao Youye, in this family?
A hypocritical father, a mistress who has entered the house, and a troublesome stepbrother...
Chao Youye acted as if she didn't hear anything and left Chao Nanxing's study without looking back.
In the corner of the corridor on the second floor, Wu Zeyu was watching Chao Youye's gradually leaving figure, and he was extremely happy.
It was him... who placed the photo on the desk facing south.
