Pei Yi and Bo Yueming finally planned to hold a wedding. As mutual friends of both parties, Li Yu'an and Yan Cen naturally dressed up to attend this happy and lively event.

Although the Bo family is the top wealthy family in the imperial circle, this wedding was unexpectedly not a grand one -

the guests invited to attend were all relatives, friends and some business partners who knew each other well, such as Gu Jianshen who came from Hai City.

The other party was originally the copyright director of a major game manufacturer. In the past six months, he became friends with Pei Yi and Li Yu'an. After a little prying from the two, the other party finally had the idea of ​​working in YWY.

A rest area built in the open air.

Li Yu'an brought champagne from the waiter and gestured, "Brother Gu, have you made up your mind?"

Gu Yanshen raised his glass in response and joked, "Please pay me more in the future, Mr. Li."

Li Yu'an couldn't help laughing, "That depends on your own efforts, Brother Gu."

Yan Cen, who arrived a step late, saw his lover's rare bright smile from a distance, then looked at the relatively unfamiliar faces beside him and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"Yu'an!"

Li Yu'an turned to look, his eyes slightly bright, "What took you so long to deal with? Is everything ok?"

"No problem."

Yan Cen said as he hugged Li Yu'an, but his eyes looked at Gu Jianshen on the side, "Who is this?"

Gu Jianshen met Yan Cen's gaze and nodded calmly, "Hello."

Li Yu'an, as a middleman, hurried to help introduce, "Yan Cen, this is Brother Gu who I often mentioned to you. He will come to our YWY to work after the new year."

He paused and glanced at Yan Cen.

Yan Cen received the gaze of his lover and stretched out his hand first, "Hello, Mr. Gu, Yan Cen, I am Yu'an's...lover."

It is lover, not the usual word "lover".

Li Yu'an's eyes showed surprise, but Gu Jianshen saw it clearly, "It turns out to be Mr. Yan from GM Commercial Investment? I've heard of your name for a long time."

"I only knew that Pei Yi and Mr. Bo were a couple, but I didn't expect that Yu'an also had such an excellent partner like you, that's great."

In Gu Jianshen's view, Pei Yi and Li Yu'an are not only future partners, but also younger brothers than himself in private.

These words were said with a smile, without any other meaning.

Yan Cen's hand on Li Yu'an's waist tightened a little, "President Gu, thank you for the award. I have something here and I want to ask Yu'an to go out. Excuse me?"

"Please."

Li Yu'an listened to the conversation between the two silently, and before he could react, he was taken out of the wedding lounge by Yan Cen.

The wedding has not officially started yet, Pei Yi and Bo Yueming are still entertaining the guests.

Yan Cen led Li Yu'an out of the lawn where the wedding was planned, and then he felt a little bit of subtle jealousy, "I saw you talking and laughing with that Mr. Gu from a distance, but you didn't care when I would come back?"

"..."

Li Yu'an was stunned for two seconds, and then laughed, "How could I? Besides, Brother Gu treats me and Pei Yi as his younger brothers."

Yan Cen knew that he was unnecessarily jealous, after all, he didn't feel the threat of a "rival" from Gu Jianshen.

But even so, he still cared a little, "You haven't told anyone about our relationship?"

Facing the sudden question, Li Yu'an was stunned for a moment, and spoke in a lower voice, "Well, only Pei Yi and Sister Yang know about it."

Yan Cen frowned and relaxed his eyebrows.

Li Yu'an was quick to catch his fleeting emotion and held his hand, "Yan Cen, I'm afraid too many people will know about it, so as not to cause trouble."

The Yan family is also one of the most famous families in the imperial capital. It is estimated that the elders of the Yan family don't know about his relationship with Yan Cen yet. What if the other party objects after knowing it?

Li Yu'an added, "For me, Pei Yi, my eldest brother and a few others are the most important. It's good for them to know, so I didn't think of telling anyone."

He just wanted to let nature take its course and not publicize the relationship, but he wouldn't deliberately hide it either.

Li Yu'an shook Yan Cen's hand gently, "Are you angry?"

"How could I be angry with you?"

Yan Cen held his fingers tightly, knowing very well in his heart, "Yu'an, even if you don't say it, I know what you are thinking about. I told you a long time ago-"

"Didn't you say you had something to talk to me about?" Li Yu'an interrupted Yan Cen and changed the subject, "If you don't hurry up, Pei Yi and the others' wedding will start soon."

Yan Cen was not unhappy about being interrupted, and a hint of deep meaning appeared in the depths of his pupils, "Yes, there is something, come with me."

"Okay."

Li Yu'an let Yan Cen lead the way, and only felt strange when they entered a villa in the manor, "Yan Cen, why did you bring me here?"

The Bo family manor covers a large area, with dozens of independent houses and villas. Today's wedding will be held on the lawn in the back area, and people will gather there.

"I'll take you to meet some people."

Yan Cen didn't hide it anymore and opened the door directly.

Li Yu'an's doubts did not have time to surface. When his eyes touched the four figures on the sofa, he was stunned on the spot.

Yan Cen met the eyes of the four people in the house, gently pushed his glasses and smiled, "Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, I've brought people to you."

"..."

Li Yu'an confirmed the identities of the four people in front of him from the address of his lover, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Until he was brought to the four elders by Yan Cen, his mind was still blank -

the Yan family was originally engaged in logistics business, and it was built to the largest scale in the hands of old man Yan. Later, after Yan Cen's father took over the business, the industry under its umbrella underwent a wave of transformation.

As for Mrs. Yan and Yan Cen's mother, the former was a professor of pediatrics before retirement, and the latter was a university teacher. They were both outstanding and elegant people.

And Yan Cen grew up in such a family atmosphere.

Li Yu'an reluctantly dug out the superficial understanding of Yu Yancen's family background from the depths of his mind, and then heard Mrs. Yan say with a smile, "This is Yu An, right?" The

elderly old lady also had a kind face and praised, "This child is so good-looking, no wonder Xiao Cen always hides it from us."

"..."

Li Yu'an reacted suddenly and pulled away his and Yan Cen's tightly clasped hands.

He met the gazes of the four people in front of him and used all his strength to hide his nervousness, "Hello, Mr. Yan, Madam, and President Yan, Mrs. Yan, I'm Li Yu'an."

Li Yu'an took a quick breath, still a little confused, "It's our first time meeting, it's really..."

Before he could finish his words, Yan Cen, who was "let go", pulled him back again and explained on the spot, "Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, Yu'an and I like each other, and we've been dating for a while."

"I couldn't bring him home to see you before because I was too busy with work. Now that you've seen him this time, can you rest assured?"

Li Yu'an turned his head to look at Yan Cen, who seemed to have expected it, and immediately gave him a firm and affectionate look, as if to say -

"Don't be afraid."

"..."

Li Yu'an didn't say anything, but his heart, which was so nervous that it was about to explode, calmed down at this moment.

The elders of the Yan family looked at each other for a few times, and it was Yan Xing, the head of the family, who spoke, "Hmm."

Mrs. Yan glanced at her husband, and then moved her eyes back to Li Yu'an's face.

She saw Li Yu'an's restraint and uneasiness, and smiled and stepped forward to explain the situation, "Yu'an, don't be nervous. Yan Cen confessed your relationship half a year ago, and we don't object."

Half a year ago? So early?

Li Yu'an didn't expect Yan Cen to confess their relationship to his family so early, and he felt a subtle and indescribable touch.

Mrs. Yan continued to express her attitude, "Yan Cen said that you are a very good and excellent candidate. We have always wanted to meet you, but he treats you like a treasure and always refuses to take you home."

"This time, we finally took the opportunity of Yue Ming and his marriage to let him take you out to see us alone."

"So sudden, are you scared?"

Mrs. Yan was more gentle and elegant than expected. She eased Li Yu'an's doubts and emotions with just a few words.

Li Yu'an took a breath without a trace, "No, it was my first meeting, and I almost lost my manners."

It's all Yan Cen's fault!

Why didn't he say hello in advance! He had no preparation at all!

Li Yu'an was fair-skinned, and his usually cold eyebrows and eyes were now tinged with a little red in the rendering of emotions, which made him look particularly likable.

Moreover, from his response at this moment, it was obvious that he was a sensible person.

The old lady came up and pulled Li Yu'an's other hand affectionately, "Child, let grandma take a closer look."

Facing the kindness and closeness that came to him, Li Yu'an, who was born not knowing how to please the elders, was a little at a loss.

Yan Cen helped, "Grandma, don't fall in love with Yu'an and not look at me straight in the eye."

The old lady smiled and looked over, "If you are willing to take Yu'an home to live, grandma will not do anything else all day long, just look left and right for a while."

Yan Cen took the opportunity to continue, "Then wait until New Year's Eve? I will take Yu'an home for a New Year's Eve dinner?"

Mr. Yan, who was silent on the side, nodded, "It just so happens that today is Yue Ming's child's wedding. When we go home for the New Year, we can sit down and have a good chat as a family." Go home for the

New Year? As a family?

Li Yu'an unconsciously looked at Mr. Yan, and his heart was moved by waves of recognition.

Yan Cen smiled and replied, "Yeah."

"Dad, Mom, it's almost time for the wedding, let's go first?" Yan Xing stepped forward.

Although he didn't communicate much with Li Yu'an, he didn't object or express any dissatisfaction, "We'll get together with the children again when we have a chance."

Mr. and Mrs. Yan nodded.

Yan Cen simply agreed, "Mom and Dad, you take grandpa and grandma over first, I have something to say to Yu'an alone."

The elders present were all experienced people, and they knew it well and didn't raise any objections.

After all, this sudden "meeting the parents" would need to be digested by everyone.

The door of the vacant villa opened and closed.

After Li Yu'an confirmed that the elders of the Yan family had gone far away, he changed his reserved and even obedient attitude and punched Yan Cen hard on the shoulder -

"Yan Cen! You bastard!"

"Hmm..."

Yan Cen groaned after being hit by his lover. He quickly grabbed Li Yuan'an's wrist and pulled him into his arms. "Little Mr. Li, calm down. I was wrong, I was wrong."

Li Yuan took two breaths, and it was hard to tell whether he was angry or depressed. "How could you hide something like meeting the elders from me! What if they can't speak or don't perform well when they meet your parents, and they don't like me?"

Li Yuan felt annoyed when he thought of his silly look at the beginning, and the more "angry" he was at Yan Cen's concealment, "I, I must not have performed well just now, you..."

Yan Cen coaxed, "Who said that? Didn't you see that my parents, grandpa and grandma like you very much?"

Li Yuan was still unhappy, "But I don't like this." He

was not mentally prepared at all.

Yan Cen apologized, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have taken you to meet the parents without any preparation."

Li Yu'an was wrapped in tenderness and kept silent.

Yan Cen kissed the tip of his nose, "Yu'an, I know what you are worried about. I wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you before, but you always avoided it in your heart."

Avoiding the disparity in their family backgrounds, avoiding the possible opposition from the elders of the Yan family, and avoiding the end of their relationship.

Yan Cen saw it, but he was also doing practical things. No matter

how open-minded the elders of the Yan family were, they also had subtle emotions when they heard about this for the first time.

It was Yan Cen's efforts again and again that made them feel good about Li Yu'an before they officially met.

"You are my lover and my beloved. I have long been prepared to spend my whole life with you. Whatever you are afraid of, I will deal with it before you do."

"Of course, I didn't do well enough today. You can be angry, hit me, or scold me, but if I didn't do that and told you in advance that I was going to meet the parents, would you come with me?"

"..."

Li Yu'an's annoyance was only temporary, and it had almost dissipated by now.

Facing the second half of Yan Cen's question, Li Yu'an used silence instead of answering.

During the time they were together, the two already knew each other's deep temperament.

Yan Cen's "guess" was right -

in this relationship, the only thing Li Yu'an was still worried about was the attitude of the elders.

Even if Yan Cen told him in advance that he would meet his parents, he would find various reasons to "refuse" and "postpone", which was far worse than meeting them suddenly like now. He

couldn't hide anymore, so he would naturally force himself to deal with it.

"What my mother said just now is true. They have accepted our relationship and have wanted to meet you for a long time.

"I know you are not ready yet, so you keep putting it off, but I don't want to see you like this--"

Li Yu'an was confused in his heart, and no matter how he gave her enough sense of security, he still had the

anxiety and fear of failure. "Yu'an, from the first day of our relationship, I didn't ask you to be a perfect lover. You can have a bad temper and shortcomings, and I don't need you to be successful in your career to have the confidence to love me."

Love is a deeper bond than falling in love.

"I know you have always lacked confidence in 'family' and 'family members', but I have really confirmed that my family likes you, recognizes you, and respects you."

"You know what? I want to give you all the beauty and happiness I have ever had. ”

“…”

Li Yuan did not speak, but his eyes were a little moist.

His lover had long seen through the anxiety and inferiority hidden in the deepest part of his heart, and had worked silently for him for a long time.

“Li Yuan.”

Yan Cen called him by his full name, his tone gentle but serious.

Li Yuan looked at the person in front of him, “Hmm?”

Yan Cen kissed the corner of his eyes, “I hope that in the future you can openly announce our relationship to anyone——”

“We are lovers, and we will be husband and wife in the future, and the kind that the elders in the family like and support. Do you understand?”

Li Yuan nodded while holding back his tears, “I see.”

Yan Cen kissed him lightly on the lips, “Are you still angry?”

Li Yuan returned to their daily mode of getting along, with a little arrogant and proud smile, “Next time you do something like this, you must discuss it with me in advance. You can’t do this anymore. "

As he spoke, he started to act a little coquettishly.

Yan Cen accepted it all, "I promise, just this once, I will discuss everything with you in the future, except in bed."

"..."

Li Yuan was aroused by the second half of the sentence, "Yan Cen!"

Yan Cen let go of him and took his hand back, "Let's go, Mr. Li, go to Yue Ming and Pei Yi to ask for good luck."

Li Yuan was taken out by Yan Cen, and he was filled with happiness belatedly, with a bigger smile on his face, "Yan Cen!"

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

The low voice of love that came out of his mouth, and the shyness that suddenly rose.

Li Yuan quickened his pace and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Yan Cen, "What did you just say? Say it again."

Li Yuan denied it flatly, "No, did you hear it wrong?"

Yan Cen rarely disagreed with him, "Say it again. "

Li Yu'an changed the subject, "The wedding is about to start, hurry up, didn't you say you were going to ask for good luck?"

Yan Cen retorted, "What good luck? It's more important to ask you to speak, say that sentence again, hurry up, will you say it?"

Li Yu'an smiled, knowing that Yan Cen couldn't do anything to him, "If you don't say it, it's your own fault for not hearing it clearly."
