Chapter 90 I am the only son, not the prince
When Zhou Yan came back carrying the ribs, he saw the backs of his mother and Lin Xu in the kitchen and almost thought he was hallucinating.
When did mom come?
Why are these two people so inexplicably harmonious?
When he called Lin Xu just now, Lin Xu didn't mention this matter. She just said that she wanted to eat ribs and asked him to bring them back.
The old man and the young man were talking about something and didn't even notice he came in.
"I'm back." Zhou Yan reminded while leaning against the kitchen door.
Lin Xu quickly turned around and took the ribs from his hand: "Hey, Auntie is here."
Zhou Yan nodded: "I see. Mom, don't you want to explain to me what's going on?"
Jin Xiuting glanced at him calmly: "There's nothing to explain. I came to see you. You're back just in time. Take him out quickly. I don't need anyone disturbing me while I'm cooking."
"I, I--" Lin Xu looked at Mother Zhou in disbelief and was speechless for a moment. The two of them were chatting happily just now, so how come he became the troublemaker?
Zhou Yan smiled and pulled Lin Xu over: "My mother is just like me. She likes to cook alone. You don't need to help her."
After successfully leading Lin Xu out of the kitchen, Zhou Yan locked her in his room and began to question her, "Why didn't you tell me my mom was here? What did she say to you? Did she say anything to upset you?"
"No, Auntie is a very nice person. But you, why didn't you tell me that you had a showdown with your family? It's such a big thing, aren't you afraid that they will be upset?"
Zhou Yan pulled Lin Xu into his arms: "There's nothing I can do. I can't care less. Lin Xu, I think like a businessman. Profits come first. But when Chen Xinji asked me to choose between profit and you, I didn't have a second option in my mind. I can't leave you. This is something I can be sure of. So sooner or later they will know and have to accept it. It's better for me to tell them earlier so that they can digest it slowly."
Lin Xu was moved and hugged Zhou Yan's waist even tighter: "I was thinking that when we have to face it in the future, I will go and tell you together."
"No, I should handle my family affairs myself. If I let you suffer because of this, I would have lived in vain."
"I never thought your family would agree to us being together so easily. You're the only son in the family, so I thought the burden on you would be heavier."
Zhou Yan smiled: "I am an only son, not a prince. What burden do I have to bear?"
Lin Xu also burst out laughing: "But do we really not need to help? It would be awkward for us to leave Auntie alone in the kitchen."
"Yeah, that makes sense." Zhou Yan lifted Lin Xu's chin and held his lips.
"Well—you didn't say it was bad, you still—"
"Well, she'll overthink it anyway. Wouldn't it be a loss if I don't make it real?"
Lin Xu struggled twice before giving up and kissed back passionately.
It was like surviving a disaster, letting go of all grudges and worries.
Zhou Yan kissed Lin Xu until his legs went limp, then he let him go reluctantly.
"I'm going to talk to my mom. You can go out later." Zhou Yan looked down at a part of Lin Xu's body that was out of control, and smiled with ill intentions.
Lin Xu blushed: "You did it on purpose!"
"Well, I did it on purpose, but who asked you to cooperate with me like this?"
Lin Xu's body is very sensitive. Zhou Yan had discovered this a long time ago and loved it.
From Zhou Yan's perspective, this was Lin Xu's response to his touch, warmly telling him that Lin Xu liked him very much.
Lin Xu was so angry that she pushed him away angrily: "I'm so annoyed, get out now."
Zhou Yan stopped teasing him, rubbed his head and went to the kitchen to find his mother.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Zhou Yan handed his mother a plate.
"I just wanted to make a surprise attack to see if your life is as good as you say, so that you won't fool us." Jin Xiuting didn't hide it and said whatever she thought.
"So you've seen it, and are you relieved?"
It is unlikely that Jin Xiuting will fully accept it, but she does feel more at ease than before she came.
But it still feels a bit awkward and requires time to digest.
"What's the use of me worrying about you? You have to live your life on your own."
Zhou Yan knew that this was his mother's way of saying that she had no objection to the matter.
It is indeed difficult for them to say words of support for him. Zhou Yan is already very content with the current situation.
He raised his hands and placed them on his mother's shoulders, squeezing them gently. "Thank you, Mom."
Jin Xiuting's eyes were sore, she blinked quickly and shrugged her shoulders: "Go away, don't make trouble for me here."
"If I don't help you, do you know where all your things are?" Zhou Yan found an excuse to stay and accompany his mother for a while.
He stayed in Beijing after graduation and had fewer and fewer opportunities to spend time with his family throughout the year. Zhou Yan felt guilty about suddenly going back and asking them to accept things beyond their concepts.
At the same time, he was also full of gratitude. His mother's understanding and tolerance made him feel closer to his family.
"You smoke less now than before." Jin Xiuting has always been worried that her son is under a lot of pressure and has a strong smoking addiction, which will cause health problems.
Zhou Yan nodded: "Yeah, he's looking at me."
"He not only watches me smoking, but also watches me drinking. Last time the doctor told me to take care of my liver, and he has always kept it in mind." Zhou Yan shows his affection subtly.
Jin Xiuting rolled her eyes at him. "We didn't take it to heart. How many times have we advised you? Did you listen? And little—that guy, did you ever listen to any of us who advised you? Now he sees you as so beautiful."
Zhou Yan smiled: "That's right."
Jin Xiuting was so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to him.
Lin Xu secretly looked towards the kitchen from the living room. Although he couldn't hear what the mother and son were saying through the door, he could tell from Zhou Yan's expression that he was very happy.
Lin Xu also felt very happy.
Being able to get the understanding of Zhou Yan's family is like removing the biggest stone from my heart, and the road ahead is bright.
It turns out that Zhou Yan's cooking skills were learned from his mother. His mother's cooking was even more delicious. Lin Xu was in for a treat and ate while praising the food with a smile on his face.
Jin Xiuting couldn't just go back that night after finally coming here, so accommodation became a problem.
She meant to find a hotel nearby.
Zhou Yan felt a little bit reluctant.
Lin Xu also felt it was inappropriate.
He whispered to Zhou Yan, "Otherwise, I'll stay at the hotel. You can sleep in my room, and you and your son can have a chat."
Zhou Yan nodded, walked over to his mother and said, "Mom, Lin Xu asked you to stay at home. The sheets in the master bedroom have been changed today. You can stay in this room, and the two of us can stay in the guest bedroom."
Lin Xu was stunned with his mouth open. Was that what he just said?? ! !
