Chapter 247 The Second Four Seventh Young Phoenix Palace (Low Dawn Content)
247:
Mu Feng felt a headache as soon as he saw his second son.
"Why are you here again?"
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
"Judging from your tone, you're very disgusted?"
“It’s only been a month since you last knelt before me,” Mu Feng reminded him.
Mu Shaowu: ...It seems that's really true!
"Are you going to kneel down and say this this time?" Mu Feng asked him.
Mu Shaowu shook his head, "No need for this. It's nothing serious."
Since it doesn't involve his son, it's naturally not a big deal.
"Why would you come to me if it wasn't something serious?"
"I'm just giving you a heads-up so you don't misunderstand something later."
Mu Feng: ...That doesn't sound like something easy to handle.
"Speak," Mu Feng said helplessly.
“Feng Que asked me to be his fake boyfriend to appease his parents,” Mu Shaowu said succinctly. “So if his dad calls you about this in the future, just listen and don’t take it seriously.”
Mu Feng: ? ? ?
"You, are you going to be Feng Que's fake boyfriend?"
“Yes.” Mu Shaowu walked to the sofa not far away and sat down. “His parents are pressuring him to go on blind dates, and he’s annoyed. He wants to get rid of this problem once and for all, so he asked me to help him with this.”
"As for me, I naturally also gained some benefits, and now that he needs my help, I've done so. So when he's in charge in the future, if I discuss cooperation with him, he naturally won't be able to refuse."
“That makes sense, but aren’t you afraid you might turn this into a real drama?” Mu Feng asked.
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Mu Shaowu thought his father was overthinking it. "How could that be! I'm a professional actor! Don't question my professional skills."
Mu Feng: "...With your level of professional competence, do I need to question you?"
Mu Shaowu: ...
"Then I still won't like him!"
That's not necessarily true.
Mu Feng thought to himself, "Both of them are single, one is a film actor and the other is an actor. They have similar interests, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to fall in love."
However, Feng Que's conditions are indeed quite good, and he is a good match for Mu Shaowu.
Therefore, Mu Feng didn't worry about it.
Mu Shaowu is no longer a child. He can tell whether someone likes him or he likes them.
I would never wrong myself.
Mu Feng's only worry was, "How is he treating Xiao Xi?"
"That's great. They're willing to start filming half a month early for Xiaoxi, and even fly here specifically to give me professional training."
"What about Xiaoxi? Does Xiaoxi like him?"
"I think I quite liked them," Mu Shaowu recalled. "Anyway, I didn't dislike them. The two of them called each other 'Teacher Ye' and 'Teacher Feng' all the time. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were colleagues."
Mu Feng nodded. It seemed that Feng Que was quite gentle in front of Ye Qingxi, since he could address her in that way.
His grandson also enjoys playing with him.
I don't dislike him.
Does Xiaoxi know about this?
“I didn’t tell him. Anyway, it’s fake, and I’m not acting in front of him, so I didn’t think it was necessary.”
“Okay.” Mu Feng had no objection. “Then we shouldn’t let Xiao Xi meet his parents.”
"Of course! It's one thing for me to be his fake boyfriend, but it's another thing for Xiaoxi to be his fake son. I will never let Xiaoxi be his fake son!"
Mu Shaoyan is still eyeing this place covetously!
Another fake father is coming over there. His son has way too many fake fathers!
Mu Shaowu refused.
"Anyway, don't let your relationship affect Xiaoxi."
"Definitely not," Mu Shaowu assured him.
“However, there’s something I need to remind you.” Mu Feng looked at his son and said seriously, “This time, it’s fine if you and Feng Que are just having a fake relationship, but if you ever have a real relationship in the future, whether it’s dating or marriage, you need to consider Xiao Xi’s wishes first.”
“If Xiaoxi doesn’t like it, I definitely won’t agree.”
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Mu Shaowu felt that his father had really underestimated him!
"Do I need you to remind me? I'm his father, of course I care about him the most. If he doesn't like someone, I definitely won't like them either."
"Besides," Mu Shaowu said, "I'm not even sure if I'll get married yet. Right now, all I want to do is raise Xiaoxi and make him happy. As for things like dating and marriage, they're not in my plans at all."
"That works too." Mu Feng had no objections.
Anyway, he doesn't want to see his son with a man, so it's fine if he doesn't date or get married.
Not to mention that he now has Ye Qingxi, so he won't be lonely in the future.
Mu Feng is happy that he doesn't date or get married.
After giving his father a heads-up, Mu Shaowu prepared to leave.
"Go to sleep early." He looked at his father. "Don't forget the promise you made to your grandson."
Mu Feng: "..."
"They're gone."
Mu Shaowu stood up and left his father's study.
Meanwhile, Feng Que was also talking about this with his mother.
"That's the situation. I didn't tell you before because I wanted to wait until our relationship was more stable before telling you. But you said today that Lily is coming. When Lily sees us, you will definitely find out. So after thinking it over, I still think I should tell you sooner so that you can accept it more easily."
Phoenix's Mother: ...Do we look like we're easy to accept?!
"No, you like boys?!" Mother Feng exclaimed in surprise. "I've never seen you have this inclination before!"
"I didn't like girls before!"
"What do you like about him?" Feng's mother asked, exasperated. "You've only been back in the country for a short time!"
“I like that he is good-looking, has a good personality, is reliable as a father, and is responsible in things (related to his son).
Phoenix Mother: ...
"Are people like that so hard to find? Didn't you meet a single one in your first twenty-seven years?"
“It feels different,” Feng Que said. “Besides, none of them appeal to me.”
"So Mu Shaowu is to your liking?"
Feng Que nodded.
Feng's mother looked at his calm and composed demeanor.
I don't believe it.
She leaned back against the sofa. "You did this on purpose, deliberately using this as a pretext to fool me and your dad, didn't you? I know my son. You're not the kind of person who can fall in love quickly after returning to China for a month or two. Feng Que, you're acting like a director in front of your mother? You're too dedicated!"
"Really, I'm not lying to you." Feng Que said sincerely.
"Okay, if you're really with Mu Shaowu, then have him come over tomorrow at noon. We can have a video chat together, and let your dad and me meet our future daughter-in-law."
“I need to discuss this with him,” Feng Que said.
Madam Feng smiled, very gracefully, "Go and discuss it. Let's see how you two, one the director and the other the actor, can fool us. Go on~"
Phoenix Palace: ...
Feng Que quickly ended the video call and started a WeChat conversation with Mu Shaowu.
Feng Que: [My mom wants you to video chat with them tomorrow; they want to verify our authenticity.]
Mu Shaowu knew that.
Mu Shaowu: [Fine, I'm a professional actor, why would I be afraid of their audition?]
Feng Que: [Then I'll go reply to them.]
Mu Shaowu: [Go.]
A while later, Feng Que sent a document: "[This is my personal preference; you can take a look.]"
Mu Shaowu was too lazy to remember.
Mu Shaowu: [Director Feng, you don't understand, do you? Memorizing all this is useless. It only proves I love you, but that doesn't solve your fundamental problem. Don't your blind date partners love you? On the contrary, I don't remember anything, I know nothing, but you still like me. That's the only proof of your feelings for me.]
Feng Que: ...You're just too lazy to remember.
Feng Que: [Then send me yours, I'll make a note of it.]
Mu Shaowu: [There's no need for that. We've only known each other for a month, how could we possibly know so much? Being too deliberate would just seem fake. Let it happen naturally.]
Phoenix Palace: ...
Is this fake boyfriend of his really reliable?
Could it be that their attempt to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend was exposed on their very first day?!
Feng Que: [If my parents find out anything tomorrow, I won't pay for the next two movies~]
Mu Shaowu felt that he underestimated him too much. Come on, he was a professional at idol dramas.
Mu Shaowu: [Don't worry, the actor who's been the most popular male lead in both ancient and modern romance dramas, just like me, is worse than you in other genres, but in idol dramas, you're far inferior to me~]
Fengque: [Looking forward to your brilliant performance~]
Ye Qingxi was playing with cotton candy when she turned around and saw her father holding a phone, typing away with a smug smile on his face.
What...did he happen to be happy about?
"Dad, what are you laughing at?" Ye Qingxi asked.
Did I laugh?
Ye Qingxi nodded, "He's smiling smugly."
“That probably involves my area of expertise, and I’m ready to shine,” Mu Shaowu replied.
Ye Qingxi: Huh?
"Let's go." Mu Shaowu put away his phone. "It's almost time for you to go to bed. You should take a shower."
"Oh." Ye Qingxi nodded and put away the cat toy.
Mu Shaowu pulled him into the bathroom.
The next morning, Mu Shaowu took Ye Qingxi to school and then drove to Feng Que's house for class.
His schedule had been pretty much the same for the past few days, so Feng Que wasn't surprised to see him.
He pondered for a moment, "Should we rehearse first?"
"rehearse?"
"It's just a rehearsal of what we should say when I video chat with my parents at noon."
"No need." Mu Shaowu didn't want to waste any time on the fake boyfriend issue. "Let's continue with the scene I didn't perform well yesterday."
Phoenix Palace: ...
"Aren't you sure you won't give yourself away by doing this?"
"Just kidding. I already told you, the actor standing in front of you is a two-time winner of the Most Popular Male Lead in Ancient and Modern Romance Dramas. The reason I didn't win the third year is because I didn't film any idol dramas that year, not because my acting skills weren't up to par, understand?"
Phoenix Palace: ...
Feng Que could only nod with worry.
They finally rehearsed their lines until midnight, and just as they finished eating, Feng's mother called.
Feng Que glanced at Mu Shaowu beside him and saw that he looked confident. "Take it."
Phoenix Palace: ...
Won't it give you away?
He was really worried!
Nobody goes to war without even doing drills!
Is this really possible?!
But if I don't answer now, I'll obviously be more suspicious.
Feng Que had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer the call.
On the other end of the video, his parents were sitting casually behind the coffee table. When they saw Mu Shaowu, his mother's eyes clearly showed a hint of surprise.
Mu Shaowu actually came. Feng's mother was puzzled. Could it be that he really wasn't lying to her?
"Shaowu, it's been a long time," Feng's mother said.
"Auntie, do you know me?" Mu Shaowu was somewhat surprised.
"Look at what you're saying. Your father came when Xiao Que was a month old. Then you were born a year later, so we naturally went when you were a month old too. Auntie even gave you a longevity lock."
"Really?" Mu Shaowu smiled. "Then thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome. I heard from Xiao Que that you two are dating now?"
Mu Shaowu nodded, "The main reason is that he likes me. In order to pursue me, he flew all the way from S City to here, and even used the excuse of teaching me acting to get me to come to his place every day, just so that we could spend time together and develop feelings for each other. Auntie, you don't know how good he is. If he hadn't told me a few days ago when he confessed that he had been single all along and had never had a boyfriend or girlfriend, I would have thought he was a seasoned player in the dating game."
Phoenix Palace: ...
Feng Que glanced at him silently: Is that so?
Me? Chasing after you? Flying all the way from City S to here? And all under the guise of teaching you acting, just so we could spend every day together and develop feelings for each other?!
How come he didn't know about this?!
After Mu Shaowu finished speaking, he took the initiative and asked, "Auntie, is he telling the truth? He doesn't seem bad-looking to me, and your family is quite well-off. He also grew up abroad. In that kind of environment, how could he really not have a boyfriend or girlfriend?"
"Auntie, you're my dad's friend, you can't lie to me."
"Of course," Madam Feng quickly replied. "Of course I wouldn't lie to you, but Xiao Que has never been in a relationship. He has high standards and hasn't found anyone he likes. Otherwise, would your Uncle Feng and I be in such a hurry?"
Phoenix's father: ? ? ?
No, weren't you here with me to expose them?
How did she end up being led by the nose by Mu Shaowu and becoming his confidante mother-in-law?
Feng's father quickly kicked his wife under the table.
Phoenix's mother: What are you doing! Can't you see he's trying to clear their son's name?!
If Mu Shaowu misunderstands, then his son's hard-won boyfriend will be...
That's not right!
Feng's mother realized what was happening. Wasn't she here to expose these two little swindlers, one a director and the other an actor?!
Why do we have to act as security guards for their relationship now?!
We were so careless!
