Chapter 352, Part 352
Three five two:
Ye Qingxi didn't have to wait long before she saw Mu Shaoyan return.
"How did it go?" Ye Qingxi immediately went to greet him, asking curiously, "Did Grandpa agree?"
"He didn't say."
"ah?"
He told me to go out first.
Ye Qingxi: ...It seems the situation isn't very good.
"It's okay," Ye Qingxi comforted him. "Grandpa just asked you to go out first, he didn't say he disagreed, so you two still have a good chance."
Mu Shaoyan: ...I hope so.
The main reason is that this was really too sudden for his dad, so he wanted his dad to process it first.
"Let's wait a couple of days until he's processed it, then I'll ask him if he agrees."
Ye Qingxi: ...In a couple of days? Two days! Or maybe two weeks?!
I feel like two days might be too short.
"Then I'll go check on Grandpa's mood for you in a bit."
Mu Shaoyan nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you!"
"You're welcome." Ye Qingxi patted his shoulder.
He went to see Mu Feng before going to bed.
Mu Feng was having a headache over Mu Shaoyan's affairs and couldn't concentrate on reading. But if he didn't read, the thought of Mu Shaoyan only made him more upset.
Therefore, Mu Feng was about to go to sleep at this moment.
However, just as he closed the book, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Mu Feng asked.
If it were Mu Shaoyan, he wouldn't need to come in; he could just go back.
"It's me, Grandpa. Aunt Zhang made some iced glutinous rice balls. Do you want some?"
Mu Feng didn't want to eat.
Does he still eat glutinous rice balls?
He wished he could beat Mu Shaoyan into a little dumpling!
However, since Ye Qingxi came to see him, he wouldn't refuse, so he said, "Come in."
Ye Qingxi quickly pushed open the door and went inside.
He was carrying a tray with two bowls of small glutinous rice balls on it, one for Mu Feng and one for himself.
Mu Feng then stood up and moved to the small table.
Ye Qingxi put down the tray and handed him the small glutinous rice balls.
Then, he sat down opposite him.
He picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and deliberately said, "Delicious, icy cold, and sweet and sour."
Mu Feng then picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful.
Ye Qingxi ate while observing his expression.
"Stop looking. I haven't thought about doing anything to your uncle yet," Mu Feng said calmly.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"Your uncle cares about you a lot and is afraid you'll be angry."
Mu Feng snorted, "If he's really afraid of making me angry, he should find a girl to date, not a guy!"
“It’s just that feelings are uncontrollable,” Ye Qingxi said gently. “Besides, Brother Duan Yi is handsome, academically gifted, and successful in his career. He’s also good to her. Apart from not being a girl, there’s nothing to criticize.”
Mu Feng remained silent.
If Duan Yi hadn't actually done it, he would have already broken them up and expressed his disapproval.
"Besides, Uncle really likes Brother Duan Yi. It's rare for him to have someone he likes, and it's not easy for him," Ye Qingxi added.
"Grandpa, before you fell in love with Grandma, did you ever have feelings for anyone else?"
"Of course not." Mu Feng replied without hesitation.
He's very picky, and not just anyone can catch his eye.
"Right?" Ye Qingxi looked at him. "It's already very difficult for a person to meet someone they like, especially when that person also likes them back."
"Mutual affection is actually a very low probability event, and it is a very lucky thing."
Mu Feng: ...How can that be the same?!
He likes girls!
Mu Shaoyan prefers boys!
"Don't try to convince me that I was his friend back then. I'm not like him. If he could like a girl like your grandma, I'd be thanking my lucky stars and thanking him for recognizing her talent."
Ye Qingxi laughed, "Why are you praising yourself in such a roundabout way?"
Mu Feng snorted, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, not at all." Ye Qingxi looked at him. "Grandpa, you really have a discerning eye. You and Grandma are a perfect match."
Hearing him say that, Mu Feng's mood finally improved a bit.
"You're making such a good point. So, you have someone you like?"
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "I learned it from reading novels and watching TV."
Mu Feng: ...Then you really love watching.
"Let me tell you something," Mu Feng said, looking at him and admonishing him, "you are your grandfather's only bloodline, so you must not follow in your father's and your uncle's footsteps. You absolutely must have a girlfriend, understand?"
Ye Qingxi: ...Huh? But he's only thirteen years old.
Even after my birthday next month, I'll only be fourteen. It's too early to be saying these things now!
"Grandpa, I'm not planning on dating yet."
"Even if you start dating late, you still need to date a girl," Mu Feng emphasized.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi thought that might not be the case.
When you're in a relationship, you definitely have to date someone you like. But what if the person you like also likes a guy?
However, that's all for the future, so Ye Qingxi sweetly replied, "Mmm."
"I will try my best."
"You can't just try, you have to be determined."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
Mu Feng was relieved.
Ye Min only has one grandson. If his bloodline were to suddenly end with him, he would be guilty of a thousand deaths, especially since there are now two homosexuals in his family!
two!
One-half!
What exactly is wrong with the genes?
Mu Feng was completely baffled.
Fortunately, Mu Zheng is already married, and Mu Shaoting's partner has long been engaged to Li Jing; otherwise, he would have called them both over to give them a thorough lecture by now.
Mu Feng is almost seventy years old. His upbringing has led to a progressive side to his thinking, such as accepting that children should follow their mother's genes and that being single is a happy thing and one can choose not to get married. However, he also has a traditional side, such as believing that marriage should be between a man and a woman and that married people should have children.
Therefore, he was not really willing to accept homosexuality.
Mu Shaowu was alright; he came out of the closet early and had Ye Qingxi as a child. His later boyfriend was Feng Que, and the two were well-matched. Feng Que and his family not only treated Mu Shaowu well, but also treated Ye Qingxi like their own great-grandchild.
Mu Feng then gradually accepted Mu Shaowu's sexual orientation.
But now, Mu Shaoyan actually wants to be with a man too!
What will happen to their child?!
Mu Feng felt a headache just thinking about it.
He took two bites of the small glutinous rice balls, put down his spoon, and seemed unable to eat any more.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxi asked him, "Don't you like it?"
I'm not hungry.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Could it be that he can't eat?
Ye Qingxi instantly felt sorry for her grandfather.
But he couldn't do anything about dating and marriage. He couldn't very well tell his uncle to stop dating Duan Yi and to stop marrying him.
Ye Qingxi could only silently continue eating the small glutinous rice balls in her bowl.
After watching Ye Qingxi finish eating, Mu Feng said, "I'm going to sleep now, you should go to sleep too."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied. "Then Grandpa, you should rest well. Good night."
"Good night," Mu Feng said.
Ye Qingxi put the bowl back on the tray, picked up the tray, and left the study.
Mu Shaoyan was still waiting for Ye Qingxi's report. Seeing him return, he asked curiously, "How did it go?"
"That's fine," Ye Qingxi said. "She seems relatively calm, but she must be quite upset inside. She hasn't eaten much of the glutinous rice balls."
Mu Shaoyan sighed. Oh, his poor father.
The next day at noon, after lunch, Ye Qingxi was playing with Cotton Candy when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring at the courtyard gate.
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi hurriedly went out and was surprised to find that it was Duan Yi.
He walked over, then turned back to look at Aunt Zhang, who had heard the commotion, and said, "I'll go open it."
"Okay," Aunt Zhang replied.
Ye Qingxi walked to the courtyard gate, opened it, and asked in confusion, "Brother Duan Yi, did you come to see my uncle?"
Duan Yi shook his head.
"What is that?"
"I'm here to see your grandfather."
Ye Qingxi: !!
Startled, Ye Qingxi grabbed him. "What do you want with him?"
"Your uncle told you, right?" Duan Yi asked.
Ye Qingxi nodded.
“So I want to talk to your grandfather,” Duan Yi said gently. “Coming out or getting married are both big decisions that he should never have to bear alone.”
That's what they say, but...
“My grandfather didn’t even want to see my uncle last night because of this. Even if you come now, you might not be able to see him.”
“I’ve already made plans with him,” Duan Yi said.
Ye Qingxi: !!
Good heavens!
As expected of you!
Such a proactive person!
What else could Ye Qingxi say?
Ye Qingxi could only say, "Then you two should have a proper talk."
“Brother Duan Yi, my grandfather may have some traditional ideas, which is normal. He is already this age, so you have to be understanding of him.”
"Besides, he's my uncle's father, so naturally he'll think more about his own children. If he says something unkind, don't get angry. He's not targeting you. He's just very protective of his children and cares about them a lot, afraid that they'll get hurt."
Duan Yi nodded, "I know."
"Don't worry, I respect him very much, so no matter what he says, I won't get angry, let alone argue with him."
Ye Qingxi nodded, "That's good."
Otherwise, his grandfather would definitely be even angrier.
"But can you promise me one thing?" Duan Yi asked.
Ye Qingxi asked in confusion, "What?"
“I want to have a good talk with your grandfather, just the two of us. I don’t want your uncle to be there, so please don’t tell him I’m here.”
Ye Qingxi nodded, "Mm."
If Duan Yi wants to marry his uncle, he will inevitably have to get past his grandfather.
If his uncle were also there, there would be many things that he might not be able to say.
Therefore, it is indeed necessary to give them a chance to talk alone.
"I'll go inside and check for you. If my uncle is there, I'll send him away."
Duan Yi smiled and patted his head as usual. "Good boy."
Ye Qingxi: ...
"I'm too old for that kind of praise anymore."
“That’s really good,” Duan Yi said. “Besides, I’m almost your uncle, so I’m your elder. It’s not a problem for an elder to praise a junior for being good.”
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Uncle?
His uncle didn't say that.
"My uncle said that you are my aunt."
Duan Yi: ...
Duan Yi was silent for two seconds, then said to him, "Then let's listen to him."
Ye Qingxi: !!
You're true love!
And it's not even close to happening yet! My grandfather hasn't even agreed! You're just my uncle!
You're really impatient and can't wait!
Ye Qingxi leaned closer to him, "Brother Duan Yi, can I ask you a question?"
"What?"
"Did you actually want to marry my uncle when you graduated?"
Duan Yi: ...
Duan Yi remained silent.
Ye Qingxi knew it.
If it weren't for his uncle's family background, Duan Yi would probably have been his uncle's father for several years by now.
"Keep it up." He patted Duan Yi on the shoulder and turned to walk into the villa.
Mu Shaoyan was not in the living room.
Knowing that Mu Feng didn't want to see him right now, he was staying obediently in the bedroom.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingxi immediately sent a WeChat message to Duan Yi, telling him that he could come in.
Duan Yi then knocked on the villa door.
Aunt Zhang opened the door for him, knowing he was the guest Mu Feng had invited that day, and led him to Mu Feng's reception room.
She poured Duan Yi a glass of water. "Wait a moment, I'll go talk to Mr. Mu, he'll be here soon."
"Okay," Duan Yi replied.
Sure enough, Mu Feng appeared not long after.
Duan Yi stood up and greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Chairman Mu."
Mu Feng hummed in agreement and sat down opposite the small table.
The reception room they were in faced the courtyard, and the sunlight outside was wonderful, shining in at an angle, making the round glass coffee table in front of them look like a shimmering lake.
Mu Feng looked at Duan Yi, his expression calm.
"What do you want to say to me?" he asked bluntly.
Upon hearing this, Duan Yi was neither embarrassed nor annoyed by his cold and unfriendly opening remarks.
He picked up his briefcase, took out several documents, and placed them one by one on the bright coffee table in front of Mu Feng.
"This is my share transfer agreement with our game company. I have already signed it. I am willing to transfer all the shares I hold to Shao Yan."
"This is the gift contract for our wedding home, which I purchased with my previous savings and current funds."
"Shaoyan once said that we were destined not to have children together, but he didn't care because he has always liked Xiaoxi and has always treated her like his own child, even though he is just an uncle. I also like Xiaoxi very much, so I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Moreover, he has always had a very close relationship with his family, whether it's you or his older brother and sister. So when I heard that Mr. Huang wanted to sell his house here, I contacted him and bought the house he had here."
"In this way, Shao Yan won't be too far away from you, his older brother and sister, and Xiao Xi. Whenever you miss him, you can go see him, and he can come home anytime to continue living with you."
“I have already signed this gift agreement,” Duan Yi said gently.
"As for this, it is a gift contract for all my current savings. Like the previous two contracts, I have already signed it."
Mu Feng looked at him without saying a word.
Duan Yi sincerely said, "Except for the 35% stake in Chenxi Baozi, which belongs to my mother and not to me, and which I have no way to touch, everything else that belongs to me, I am willing to give to him."
"I know these things are insignificant to you, and being with Shao Yan is definitely an honor for me."
"But I still want to be with him. I promise I will always love him, support him, accompany him, and give him everything I can."
"I hope you will approve of our marriage."
"Of course, I understand if you disagree. But I hope you can tell me what it would take for you to agree?"
"No matter what it is, I will try my best to do it."
"I hope you can give me a chance."
