Was it not ordinary?

You Liangxing was on the verge of asking that question but Yao Miaomiao had already stopped the car and Bai Yao’s high heel came flying over in a spin. She said: “Get off the car!”

The entirety of Kang Shengzhe’s body shuddered, and like a chicken bastard he plunged himself into You Liangxing’s embrace. Bai Yao’s eyes grew red from watching and thus, she personally opened the car door to drag the person down.

Kang Shengzhe did not dare to rage and did not dare to speak, and You Liangxing… had never dared to throw a fuss.

Yao Miaomiao was only a designated driver for today and she left as soon as she dropped You Liangxing, Kang Shengzhe and Bai Yao off. After they crossed through the huge gates, the flower garden and its small pond, Kang Shengzhe leaned closer to You Liangxing’s ear and said: “Liang Liang, my legs are a little weak.”

You Liangxing gave him a one-over and it could be seen that his usual indifference was not present. Then, after he plastered on a calm and poised expression, he looked Kang Shengzhe in the eyes and said: “I’m weak too.”

Kang Shengzhe: “……”

Kang Shengzhe: “Liang Liang… truly, your methods for consoling people are very special.”

You Liangxing did not return his smile, only saying: “En.”

Subsequently after, he pulled Kang Shengzhe’s hand and said as an afterthought: “It’ll be fine.”

Although their fingers were interlaced together, Kang Shengzhe did not find any strength from the gesture because You Liangxing’s hand was shaking slightly and he was more nervous than he was.

The two exchanged gazes. Without exception, both persons resembled two skinny blades of grass that could be snapped off with a mere twist of fingers.

They were genuinely terrified.

Kang Shengzhe had never met You Liangxing’s parents, and worst still, he did not understand the information he had of his boyfriend’s parents in the slightest. Let alone stepping through the door, the fact that he had been deeply inflicted with the disparity of their wealth as an opening had already given him a formidable fright.

Thus, he did not dare to be presumptuous at all, and his character setting of a legendary giant bird was reduced to a chicken whelp who did not even dare to lift his feet off the ground by an inch to fly.

Before they could knock the door when they reached the entrance, the door was opened from the inside.

The person who opened the door was a gentle auntie in her forties. When she saw You Liangxing and Bai Yao, her face was full of smiles as she said cheerfully, “You’re home?”

Bai Yao said: “We’re back. I’m starving, is the food prepared?”

The auntie said: “It was prepared early on, we were merely waiting for you to come back.”

That auntie’s smile was rather hospitable and it had a very comforting effect on people. Without further ado, You Liangxing introduced: “My family’s auntie.”

Kang Shengzhe whispered, “There’s even an auntie?”

Of course, there was. You Liangxing was about to enter the door when a man clad in chef’s outfit walked out. Shocked, he moved aside and gave way, and a string of people wandered out of the door one after another. Meanwhile, Kang Shengzhe was counting and it numbered at twelve to thirteen.

Freezing on the spot, he said: “This…”

The auntie examined him with her eyes, wearing a smile on her face, “The chefs who prepared the food, they were just about to leave.”

Kang Shengzhe: “……” EMMMM.

Making a meal required twelve to thirteen chefs, were they making a Manchu Han imperial feast?

Kang Shengzhe’s features scrunched together and he shot a pleading gaze at You Liangxing. However, even You Liangxing’s complexion was subject to changes as he shook his head. He said: “We’re not like this usually, this is the first time I’ve seen it as well.”

After he said that, he looked at Bai Yao. “You told Dad and Mom about us?”

Bai Yao looked at him coldly. “What else?”

You Liangxing initially thought that Bai Yao had brought them back with the intention of making them come out of the closet, but he did not expect that before he had the chance to speak, he would be facing the consequences directly. Once he reached that point, he found the situation more worrying than before.

After hesitating thrice, You Liangxing got cold feet. He told Kang Shengzhe: “Let’s go back to City A, we’ll go back now.”

For You Liangxing, a person who had always acted independently and maintained the initiative like he was his own sky, to say such a thing was sufficient in showing how grim the situation was. Despite that, Kang Shengzhe furrowed his eyebrows time and time again before opening his mouth to say: “No, we can’t leave, Liang Liang, we can’t leave.”

Standing at the side, Bai Yao did not issue a single remark, watching as that panicky dog of a two-metre-tall hefty man remain staunch, while it was her own family’s little brother who was protecting him fiercely, deathly afraid of Kang Shengzhe suffering any grievances in this house.

… It has only been months since they last met, how did he manage to like a man to this extent.

It was truly the problem of a Mr. Perfect being blinded by their fascination which the world never managed to solve.

“Stop talking, we’re leaving now.” You Liangxing would never change his decision once it was made. Even though he was currently going back on his words at the last moment, he was still calm in his course. He pulled Kang Shengzhe and walked outwards but a male voice, neither light nor heavy but still downright imposing, spoke out from behind.

“Where are you going!”

You Liangxing came to a screeching halt before he turned around slowly. Kang Shengzhe was worse; his body quaked and he unconsciously straightened out his back to stand ramrod straight.

You Liangxing said: “…Dad.”

You Ming was not the only one standing at the door, for Bai Yan was present too. While their expression could not be considered as strict, it was definitely different from the casualness they exuded on a normal day and that was only emphasised by how they were smartly dressed, fit for receiving guests instead of their usual clothes for leisure.

… This was kind of bad.

You Ming said: “Where do you think you’re going, who agreed to let you leave? Do you know how much time your mom spent ordering dishes when she heard you were coming back? Do you think you’re respecting your mother by doing this? Is this how I have educated you?”

Rebuked, You Liangxing’s expression became ugly and he found himself speechless. However, it did not matter because neither You Ming nor Bai Yan were waiting for him to answer. Ever since they came to the door, the pair’s eyes had been glued on Kang Shengzhe’s person and they were scrutinising him in every possible manner.

As the Lord Father and Mother were scrutinising him, Kang Shengzhe met their eyes plainly although it was not an easy task. Sure enough, one look had him spiralling into an ice cellar and he felt like he was suffering from the entire world’s deception.

Indifferent and nothing mystical? Wants for nothing?

That did not exist.

Initially, Kang Shengzhe thought that he knew nothing about Liang Liang’s parents, but when he actually met them, he realised that he did not need You Liangxing to explain at all because he saw through their identities at a glance.

The lady before him was someone who his parents dedicated half a month out of every year to reminiscence and experience her new and old movies ever since he could remember. Even if she was not in light makeup or under bright lights, her beauty still represented an era of classics.

Bai Yan, the veteran Film Empress who enjoyed a great reputation in contemporary times, was Liang Liang’s Lord Mother.

And the other individual… even if Kang Shengzhe did not pay attention to the finance and economics profession, he could still say his name. Why? If he knew Ma Huateng, and he knew Wang Jianlin, how could he not know You Ming?

He had money and his appearance was extraordinary; he was top class in both his entrepreneurship and his looks, who wouldn’t know you were talking about him?

Therefore, how was this difficult mode……

This was suicide mode ah.

Kang Shengzhe was terrified to the extreme and he straightened his back further out of conditioned reflex. You Liangxing stood by his side and the reticent pair clasped their hands together in their silence, holding tight.
