Chapter 85 Chapter 085 "Mom, I want to talk...
Yan Nanxing's words were like a bolt of thunder that struck the two of them. Before Nan Fei could react, her eyes filled with disbelief. She stood up and walked over to him, lowering her voice and asking, "Why are you saying that at this time..."
Wasn't it obvious that he was planning to keep it secret from the beginning?
Yan Nanxing simply smiled at him, giving him a reassuring look. He then took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully to Nan Hongyu. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Nan. It's indeed my fault for keeping this secret from you for so long. I simply didn't anticipate that we'd meet so soon, and it's really impolite to introduce myself so hastily without being fully prepared. I hope you'll forgive me for that."
This speech was truly comprehensive, but Nan Hongyu didn't react with a positive expression. He simply sat up straight, turned his head, and looked directly at him: "Do you think that the impoliteness lies in not coming up to inform me?"
He was a handsome man, and his speech was very eloquent. Nan Hongyu even began to doubt whether the child he was raising was actually a boy.
He snorted coldly and continued, "It wouldn't be right to confess now. Tell me what you think."
Yan Nanxing smiled slightly. "Since you already have suspicions in your heart, it wouldn't be nice to continue hiding them. Rather than passively waiting for you to confirm it, why not just speak out directly? That would save some time, wouldn't it?"
"I don't know. Would you be willing to give me a chance to show me what I can do?"
As he spoke, Nan Fei also reacted and took a step forward, standing side by side with Yan Nanxing. Both of them were dressed simply, but their faces were really good-looking, so they looked a good match.
Nan Hongyu's gaze slid from one person to another. Yan Nanxing took a shower after coming back. Her long, well-groomed hair was softly draped over her shoulders, glistening in the moonlight. Her every frown and smile was breathtakingly beautiful.
If it's a girl...
"Good boy, you have a powerful mouth." Nan Hongyu sighed, "Not bad, I am not wrong, I am indeed a responsible person."
"Since you're willing to be honest about this, I won't make things difficult for you." He smiled faintly, and the serious atmosphere just now dissipated. "It's just that the current situation isn't suitable for you to appear. Please give us father and son some space to talk."
Having said this, it was inappropriate for Yan Nanxing to say anything more. He nodded goodbye, turned around and smiled at Nan Fei, and patted Nan Fei's back in the blind spot of his vision to comfort her.
The courage that Nan Fei had mustered up because of Yan Nanxing's appearance gradually faded away, and the uneasiness that he had just felt when he left came back again. Nan Fei was a little confused. Yan Nanxing had told him everything frankly, so why did he have to end it all?
Nan Fei sat back down feeling somewhat guilty, not daring to face his father's gaze, nor to open his mouth to start a conversation.
At this time, I began to regret that I had not practiced my eloquence well, and for a while I couldn't say anything.
"Are you scared now?" Nan Hongyu brought it up again, his tone full of accusation. "When you came the day before, didn't you really want me to know? Why don't you have anything to say now?"
Nan Hongyu is a smart man after all. Once he understands the relationship between the two, he can figure out the meaning of all the push and pull between them.
It was Yan Nanxing's idea not to tell anyone, so he tried his best to conceal it. However, Nan Fei was showing his true colors everywhere, so he only showed a little cooperative attitude in the past two days.
Nan Fei turned her face away slightly, and replied with a bit of hesitation: "It's not very warm today, please stop making sarcastic remarks."
"Humph, you're such a joker." Nan Hongyu shook his head and sighed, "Yan Nanxing is actually more open-minded than you. He's flattering me so much that I can't really scold him."
Hearing Nan Hongyu praising him, Nan Fei couldn't help but curl his lips: "Right, in fact, he is not only good at speaking, but also very good in other aspects."
"I haven't even said a few words yet and you're already protecting me." Nan Hongyu was very dissatisfied with his attitude. The most important thing was that he couldn't understand why Nan Fei fell for such a person.
"Why didn't I realize that you like men?" Nan Hongyu was puzzled. "Didn't you say when you were a child that you liked girls like your mother? How come you suddenly, just..."
Nan Fei: "Bent."
"Yeah, that's what it means."
After all, he is an educated person with a broad vision. It's just that when it suddenly happens to his own child, he still can't accept it in a short time.
Nan Hongyu couldn't help but start to reflect on himself: "What's wrong with the way your mother and I raised you..."
"Sexual orientation is inherently fluid, and there's nothing wrong with being a sexual minority. There's no problem with it, is there?" Nan Fei suddenly lost her temper upon hearing this. "Besides, have you and Mom ever been involved in my upbringing?"
Nan Hongyu remained silent.
This statement could not be refuted. Nan Fei had been too sensible and worry-free since he was young. He had always made plans for himself, and his parents had not been able to interfere too much. Most of the time, they were the ones who discussed everything, including his choice of further studies, activities to participate in, learning interests, and career choices. Because they could give very reasonable reasons, they had never refused.
At this time, trying to play the role of the head of the family seems to have no effect.
The relationship between Nan Hongyu and Nan Fei is not like the father-son relationship that the public knows, but more like friends who can get along with each other on an equal footing.
As a tolerant parent, Nan Hongyu always believed that he could treat Nan Fei's love life naturally, talk with him with a smile and share some of his own experiences. Or maybe Nan Fei, with his indifferent personality, did not intend to fall in love, and they could also accept it with tolerance and believe that he would plan everything for the future.
But it was too sudden. He was only 25 years old and hadn't even celebrated his first birthday yet. He had mentioned dating not long ago, but Nan Fei himself said he felt it was too early. Now he suddenly said he had a boyfriend. Nan Hongyu felt that no matter how cheerful a parent was, they would not be able to face this result rationally.
Perhaps realizing that her words were a bit harsh, Nan Fei slowed down before continuing, "Actually, it's reasonable for you and Mom to disagree."
"But you can't interfere with my decision." Finally, Nan Fei looked over and met her father's gaze with an extremely firm look. "You all understand this, don't you?"
Nan Hongyu remained silent, completely unsure of how to respond.
Or it would be a mistake to have this conversation with the intention of "finding someone guilty" from the beginning.
"You...give us some time." The child's strong opinions were one of his shortcomings. Nan Hongyu was a little tired and could only change the subject. "Does your mother know about this? When do you plan to tell her?"
Nan Fei has a much closer relationship with Ms. Lou Jing. In addition, since it is a field that Nan Fei is familiar with, he has always been more familiar with Nan Fei's work.
If I didn't tell him, then he must not know.
Sure enough, Nan Fei responded: "Mom doesn't know yet."
"But I think she will accept it much better than you." After hesitating for a while, Nan Fei said cruelly, "Because she is supporting the couple of Nan Xing and me."
Nan Hongyu: ...
What a mess, I don't understand.
After all, there is still a generation gap with young people...
"But now that you know, I think you can tell Mom." After saying that, Nan Fei suddenly smiled and stood up to say goodbye. "You should think about it carefully. I won't bother you anymore. I still have some time tonight, so I'd like to call Mom."
Nan Hongyu was about to speak out to stop him, but he saw the boy running away very nimbly.
Back in the room, Yan Nanxing was handling work.
"You came back so soon. I thought you were going to talk for a long time."
Yan Nanxing put down the tablet, propped up his chin with one hand, and raised an eyebrow: "How was your conversation?"
"Not really. He's definitely unhappy anyway, but he can't control me."
It was unknown what good thing had happened, but Nan Fei was clearly in high spirits, with a smile on his face. Yan Nan simply held his hand and pulled him towards him: "Aren't you angry that I left you alone to clean up the mess?"
"I can't get angry even if I want to." Nan Fei sighed softly, "My dad's sour face is really scary, but if you behave well, he won't want to continue to be sour on you."
After all, when two grown men are in love, it is hard to say who is at a disadvantage. If it is a mutual consent, then rashly interfering will make you look like the villain who is breaking up the couple.
He had only been probing into some doubts, but ended up revealing them all at once. Even Nan Hongyu was not prepared to talk directly to Yan Nanxing.
Yan Nanxing gently patted the back of Nan Fei's hand with his fingertips, and the warm palm covering it made people feel at ease.
Nan Fei's tone gradually softened: "Besides, I am confident. You are so outstanding, you will definitely not disappoint me."
"You're getting better and better at coaxing people." Yan Nanxing chuckled, "Then I have to make you proud."
After the communication, Yan Nanxing went back to read the meeting report, while Nan Fei went to take a shower. After cleaning up, he thought about it and decided to call his mother to report.
In order not to disturb Yan Nanxing, he went to the balcony, closed the door, and stared at his phone in a daze.
There is no need to be so restrained when talking to your mother. I just have to think about how to express my sincerity with the greatest sincerity.
After all, Yan Nanxing has performed well with his father, so the first impression he makes on his mother's side as a love interest must not be bad.
After much thought, he decided to make a video call to chat face to face. At this point, Ms. Lou should still be dealing with work, but in order to be with her family first, the work she left in the evening was not too heavy, so there was definitely time for a chat.
Sure enough, the video call was connected within less than three seconds.
"What's up, honey? Are you getting along well with your dad?"
Ms. Lou Jing's laughter came through the screen, and the familiar tone warmed people's hearts.
Nan Fei unconsciously smiled faintly and prepared to get straight to the point: "Mom, there is something I want to report to you."
"Hmm?" There was a hint of doubt on the beautiful face opposite.
The familiar tone and words probably meant that the child had made another important life decision, so she was formally notified.
"I'm in love."
His slightly furrowed brows suddenly lifted, as if he had heard some great news. The surprise on Lou Jing's face was fully revealed, and then he turned to joking and gossiping: "Ah, is it the one behind you?"
Nan Fei was stunned and looked back. The balcony door had been opened at some point, and Yan Nanxing, who had quietly approached him at some point, was leaning against the wall, looking at him with a smile in her eyes.
