Chapter 340, Part 2
340:
Ye Qingxi looked at Mu Shaowu staring at her without saying a word and asked in confusion, "Is it so hard to talk about?"
What, he doesn't like the person his father likes?
That's impossible.
Given how much his father values him, this guy is probably still stuck on his father's blacklist, let alone dating him!
Why is that?
The other party isn't offering anything decent?
No way, what does his dad like about her?
"Dad, is it ready yet?" Ye Qingxi asked softly.
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu wasn't without options, he was just too embarrassed to say anything.
Feng Que and Ye Qingxi were so close that he was a little embarrassed to say it now that he was suddenly told he might be dating Feng Que.
"What do you think of... your Uncle Feng?" Mu Shaowu looked at him and finally asked the question.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi: !!
No, aren't you friends?!
Wasn't the so-called relationship before just a lie?
How did things turn out so real?!
Friends can turn into lovers!
Ye Qingxi: ...
He figured it out.
In their family, friends are the biggest lie these adults tell!
His uncle's good friend, Duan Yi, is now going to be his aunt or uncle.
His aunt's childhood friend, Li Jing, had long been eager to become his aunt's husband.
Now!
Even his father's friend, his Uncle Feng!
Not wanting to be left behind, they all want to become his future dads!
Friend! In their family, it's practically an identity that can undergo a fundamental qualitative change at any moment due to the quantitative changes over time!
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mu Shaowu suddenly became a little nervous, "You...don't want to?"
"Of course not," Ye Qingxi said. "I just didn't expect that."
He said, "Weren't you two just pretending before? But didn't you become good friends later?"
"Dad, did you two take your 'fake' relationship for real?"
"It's mainly him," Mu Shaowu said. "I'm a professional actor, very professional, and I would never take things too seriously. But your Uncle Feng, he's a director, he's never acted before, and this isn't his first time acting. He's acting opposite me, and your father is so handsome, witty, humorous, and has both substance and good looks, so it's normal that your Uncle Feng is completely captivated and only wants me to be his real boyfriend, right?"
Ye Qingxi laughed, finding her father indeed witty, humorous, and quite adorable.
He nodded. "That's true."
"So he wanted to pursue me before, but I never agreed. It's not until recently that I felt he was quite sincere, and after spending more time together, I think I'm slowly developing feelings for him too. So I thought, why don't I let him pursue me and give it a try?" Mu Shaowu's tone was soft.
As Ye Qingxi listened, she sensed that her father seemed somewhat embarrassed and shy.
“Okay,” he said cheerfully.
"So you're willing?"
Ye Qingxi looked at him and suddenly remembered his answer when Mu Shaoyan asked her if he would be willing to have Duan Yi as his aunt that day.
What did he say back then?
He said, "Of course I'm willing. As long as you're happy, Uncle, and the person you like makes you happy and joyful, then I'm willing."
"Besides, I really like Brother Duan Yi."
Now, he looked at Mu Shaowu and said very seriously, "Yes."
“I’m so happy that you can date, Dad. Although I don’t know what dating is yet, I see on TV that everyone seems to really enjoy dating, so dating must be a wonderful thing. Dad, you are the best dad in the world, so I hope you can have many, more, and the most wonderful things.”
"If dating makes you happy, Dad, then I'm willing to."
"If one day, being in a relationship doesn't make you happy, then I won't want to be in it anymore."
“But I don’t think Uncle Fengque would,” Ye Qingxi said. “If Uncle Fengque dares to make you unhappy, I will tell Great-Grandpa and let him teach him a lesson.”
Mu Shaowu chuckled and patted his little head.
Although he had previously thought that Ye Qingxi would most likely accept it, now that she had actually accepted it, Mu Shaowu finally felt truly relieved.
He sent Feng Que a message before going to bed, asking him to have dinner together the next day.
Feng Que was surprised by such a good thing and readily agreed.
Ye Qingxi, taking advantage of Feng Que's matter, stayed in his room once again and slept in the same bed with him. After he turned eight, he gradually started sleeping in separate beds from Mu Shaowu. However, sometimes when Mu Shaowu came home, Ye Qingxi would want to stay with him a little longer and would sleep in the bed he used to sleep in.
Mu Shaowu has always doted on him, so he naturally wouldn't let him leave, just like tonight.
"Dad, when did Uncle Feng realize that he was actually taking your fake relationship seriously?" Ye Qingxi asked curiously.
"It was after you caught us in the act, and then I told him I wanted to end the fake boyfriend thing," Mu Shaowu said.
"Huh?!" Ye Qingxi exclaimed in surprise, "Then it's been three years already!"
Mu Shaowu nodded.
Ye Qingxi: "So he waited three years before he could pursue you?"
Mu Shaowu: "...Hmm."
"Dad, when are you planning to get married?"
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ? !!!
Mu Shaowu said, embarrassed and annoyed, "I only agreed to let him pursue me, it doesn't necessarily mean we'll get married!"
Ye Qingxi: ...
That's true; there's still a long way to go between pursuing someone and getting married.
Uncle Feng waited three years just to pursue her.
If they are lucky enough to get married, who knows how old he will be by then?
But it doesn't matter, Ye Qingxi thought, as long as his father is happy.
All he cares about is making his dad happy.
The next day, Ye Qingxi went to school as usual, while Mu Shaowu and Feng Que went to a barbecue restaurant together.
He ordered the meat and started grilling and eating it with Feng Que.
"Why did you suddenly ask me out today?" Feng Que asked him.
"Of course, I want to eat barbecue, so I need someone to barbecue with," Mu Shaowu said.
Feng Que smiled and placed the grilled meat onto his plate. "Then I am honored."
Mu Shaowu listened to his words and watched him deftly flip the roasted meat on the plate.
The meat smelled delicious, and when it was fried in oil, it made a sizzling sound.
Feng Que quickly flipped it over, and after grilling the other side, she handed it to him.
"Let's bake some tofu with a crispy skin," Mu Shaowu suggested.
Feng Que nodded, switched chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu with a crispy skin, and started grilling it for him.
He grilled the tofu very carefully, and as soon as each piece of tofu puffed up, he would immediately pick it up and place it on Mu Shaowu's plate.
Mu Shaowu took a bite; it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very delicious.
"Feng Que, if I told you that dating me would be a long process, would you still be willing to pursue me?" he asked quietly.
Feng Que was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the clip stopped.
He looked at Mu Shaowu and heard the meat on the plate sizzling.
Another piece of meat was cooked, but he no longer cared about it.
“Of course.” Feng Que replied without hesitation.
"Even if I have to wait until Xiaoxi goes to college before I consider marriage, are you still willing?"
Feng Que laughed.
He said, "Mu Shaowu, have you forgotten that you are a top star? Let alone a top star, it's common for ordinary celebrities to get married in their thirties or forties, let alone a big star like you. Even if you get married at fifty, it's nothing."
“As long as you marry me, that’s fine,” Feng Que said. “We’re not going to live forever. We have a long life ahead of us. You can get married whenever you want, as long as the other name on your marriage certificate is mine.”
Hearing his words, Mu Shaowu finally felt completely at ease.
He rarely explained to the person in front of him, "I didn't mean to make you wait for me."
“You know, Xiaoxi and my dad have a very good relationship. My dad cares about her and loves her very much, and so does Xiaoxi. If I get married and let you move into our house, it won't be suitable for you. But if you move out, Xiaoxi will have to face the choice of staying with me or staying at home.”
“He is my son, and he should naturally be with me, but he is very attached to my father. He was brought home by my father from Uncle Ye. He was the first person to bring him here and the one who first established his position in the Mu family, making everyone afraid to underestimate him. So although he is my son, he is more attached to the grandfather who gave him the first sense of security.”
"But he loves me very much, and he wouldn't want me to leave home alone, so he will definitely come with me."
“My dad also considered that I am his father and the one who will be with him longer, so he let me leave with him.”
“But this would make both him and my father very sad.”
“If possible, my dad would love to raise him until the day he closes his eyes. Taking Xiaoxi out of his life too early would be too cruel to him and too cruel to Xiaoxi. I can’t bear it.”
"That's why I told you we have to wait until Xiaoxi goes to university. Once Xiaoxi goes to university, he'll live on campus. After graduation, he'll get married and have his own little home. He'll gradually move out of his parents' house and into his own little home."
“At that time, he will no longer be sad because of leaving his grandfather, and my father will accept that the child has grown up and will naturally have to settle down and start a family.”
"That's right, you'll have to keep waiting for me."
“I’m not wronged,” Feng Que said softly. “Mu Shaowu, you don’t need to feel embarrassed or sorry for me.”
“You’ve never made me wait. You’ve asked me, and it was my choice, my initiative, and my idea.”
"If you want a flower to bloom, you have to spend time and patience to wait for it, giving it sunlight, air, and water. It's not that you want the flower to bloom. It's already a rare thing that the flower is willing to bloom in front of you, even if it's not yours. As for when it will bloom and how long it will take, that's not something you can control. When it's time to bloom, it will naturally bloom. All you need to do is wait patiently."
"If you can't wait, you can leave."
"Because he never asked you to wait."
Feng Que looked at the person in front of him. He had thought that Mu Shaowu just wanted their relationship to last longer and be more stable, but he didn't expect it was because of his father and Ye Qingxi.
He was gentler than he thought.
From the moment he met him, he had always been thinking about his child.
He loves his children very much and always puts them first.
Therefore, Feng Que also wanted to put him as her top priority.
There should always be someone who loves him more, someone who loves him the most.
And that person, naturally, should be his lover.
"So, Mu Shaowu, starting today, can I pursue you?"
Feng Que smiled, his eyes filled with tender love.
