419 In a Pickle (2/2)
Everyone on the table choked. Father Ye, who had been composing himself, and Little Brother Ye, who was pretending, aside, even Ye Shuang could not help but spit her food out. ”Mom!”
Mother Ye looked awkward and concerned. ”It's not that I'm prying here. It's just that…”
Just that what?
It was just that Brother Ye looked handsome and gentle while Han Chu sitting next to him was quiet and composed. They did not look like a couple no matter what. They looked more like good gay friends.
Moreover, Ye Shuang's charisma was definitely… It was truly a sad story.
Han Chu felt gravely fortunate that there was no food in his mouth at the moment. He composed himself forcefully and put down the bowl and chopsticks. ”Xiao Shuang is a girl, isn't she? Although something happened to her, she will recover sooner or later.”
What he said was just purely on the surface. In reality, Han Chu had no solution for stabilizing her gender. He felt helpless that the Ye family knew about Ye Shuang's gender switch. Not only that, they thought that Han Chu would definitely know the further details since he knew about Ye Shuang's gender switching.
Mother Ye had a complicated feeling at the moment. At the same time of relief, she was troubled. ”So, are you guys planning to… solve Ye Shuang's problem soon?”
”Hmm?” Han Chu, who had no idea about the situation, composed himself. ”Hmm, yes. We're planning to solve it as soon as possible.”
Why was he being so confident despite the fact that he had no idea of the situation?
…
After the rather odd meal, the Ye family had finally approved of Han Chu as the future son-in-law.
Han Chu was satisfied after the conversation that came out of courtesy to make the parents happy and got the guarantee that Ye Shuang would still work under him.
Ye Shuang was watching the TV quietly throughout the whole thing, pretending that she was furniture. She did not want to participate in that strange conversation… mainly because people felt strange by just looking at her. Although they were testing the son-in-law for their daughter, Ye Shuang held the identity of Brother Shuang at the moment. Her ridiculously handsome, manly face had made the whole thing weird.
As long as nobody was looking at her face, they could still hypnotize themselves with Sister Shuang's face in their minds.
Great, they could continue the conversation by imagining that.
Naturally, the Ye family allowed Ye Shuang out of the house willingly since the family meal had ended, and they had gotten the promise from Han Chu, who only knew half the story. Since there was nothing to hide from their future son-in-law, it would be perfect for their daughter to spend more time with him. Perhaps her gender would be stabilized when it was dark and the atmosphere was right.
”I think there's something off with what your parents brought up.”
After they had gotten into the car, Han Chu sorted out what he had heard earlier and felt that something was off. ”It sounds like you guys know the solution to your gender issue, but you need me to do it.”
Moreover, after getting his promise rather unwillingly, the Ye family seemed to be relieved and anticipating, but at the same time, they seemed unwilling. Han Chu thought hard about it while frowning. What exactly was the solution that put the family in such a pickle?
Ye Shuang knew that Han Chu was intelligent. It was only a matter of time for him to figure it out, so she changed the subject as soon as she thought of one. ”Let's not talk about that. How are things with your mom?”
