Chapter 141 Confessing to Dad
Chapter 141 Confessing to Dad
Ye Yan had never had the experience of sitting together as an ordinary father and son and talking about life and ideals since he was a child.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but Ye Youcheng was not a responsible father in the past. In addition, his family broke up just when he was entering puberty and needed to communicate with his parents.
Now that Ye Youcheng was sitting in front of him so seriously, Ye Yan felt a little uncomfortable.
But he was still very curious about whether Ye Youcheng had seen the rumors about him and Xu Qingran, and what his attitude was. Would he bless him?
"Dad, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Yan is not good at caring about others. Perhaps it is because Ye Youcheng's face is really gloomy today, and he can't pretend not to see it.
Ye Youcheng then smiled, and his initial seriousness was much less severe.
"I'm fine, I just felt uncomfortable when I saw people scolding you online."
Ye Youcheng explained, his tone much lighter than usual. Ye Yan didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that he was not as energetic today as the last time they met.
I thought to myself, maybe he was really angry about me and is only now learning to care about his own children. It would have been better if he had learned it earlier.
He admitted that some things would be his lifelong regrets, but if he could still make up for it now, he would still accept it generously.
"Oh, don't take those keyboard warriors' words to heart. I've seen a lot of this over the years and I'm used to it."
He said nonchalantly, took off his slippers, curled up on the sofa and started eating a banana.
He pretends to be indifferent, but in fact he hates being scolded the most, because he knows very well that he has done nothing wrong. Why should those black fans slander and abuse someone who has no grudge against them?
He cares too much, but he doesn't want others to know that he cares. That is not the mentality of a strong person. He doesn't want those black fans to see him being defeated, so he tries hard to portray himself as an arrogant person.
The Iceberg Movie King would actually hide in his bed and cry at night. Ye Yan sometimes really felt that he was so fucking amazing and that he deserved his success.
Ye Youcheng was comforted a little, but not much.
There was still some sadness on his face, but when he saw Ye Yan eating, his eyes were full of love.
"It's good that you don't care. Caring too much affects your mood. Xiaoyan, Dad wants to know, is it true who you are dating as reported online?"
He asked very tactfully, without mentioning Xu Qingran's name, nor did he explicitly ask whether you like men.
Ye Yan thought he might ask, and after swallowing the last bite of banana, he looked into Ye Youcheng's eyes unnaturally.
Dad shouldn’t object, Ye Yan thought. After all, if he objected, he wouldn’t be so calm. He was smiling at me just now, so there must be something going on.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt less nervous and nodded silently after hesitating for a moment.
"When did this happen?"
"When he was my assistant, he was a very nice person and we got along very well. Dad, you won't object to us, right?"
Ye Yan asked tentatively. He felt that the problem was not big. Even if there was opposition, it would not have much impact. He would stick to his own opinion anyway, and no one could do anything to him.
He thought so, but while waiting for Ye Youcheng's answer, he couldn't help but sneak a peek at Ye Youcheng's reaction, which was as expected not joyful.
"The person you like must be very good, but... maybe I'm too traditional. I haven't seen anyone like you around... Dad knows I have no right to oppose any of your choices, but Dad doesn't want you to regret it in the future. You should still think twice before making any important decisions in life. But as long as you are happy... If you want to listen to what I say, then listen. If you don't want to listen, just ignore me."
Ye Yan could hear that his father was not optimistic about his relationship with Xu Qingran and did not approve of it from the bottom of his heart, but because of the past debt, he could not oppose it too strongly.
He was trying his best to act like an open-minded father, so there shouldn't be any big problems. But seeing Ye Youcheng's hesitant look, Ye Yan suddenly felt very disappointed.
Love that is not blessed by loved ones is still a bit regrettable.
"But I just like him. I've thought it through very clearly. Even if I don't end up with him, I'll just end up alone. Dad, just live a good life with Aunt Qiu. I'll take care of my own business."
Ye Yan smiled and put his feet down from the sofa. He took a Sunshine Rose from the fruit bowl on the coffee table and put it in his mouth.
He was trying to hide the tense atmosphere. He had never expected that the first time in his life that he had a serious chat with his father would be because of his sexual orientation.
In fact, it was quite embarrassing. He would rather Ye Youcheng had a big fight with him like before, which was better than the current situation where he clearly did not support him but still said reluctant words with a sullen face.
Ye Yan suddenly felt that she was really greedy, wanting everything.
"You're an adult now, so you must have your own opinions on what you want to do. I was thinking that I didn't take good care of you when you were a child, so I will definitely treat him twice as well when I have a grandson. You are so beautiful, the child will definitely look like you. It seems that I can only rely on Xiaorui to give me a grandson in the future."
Ye Youcheng joked while looking at Xiao Rui who was helping Qiu Yuan in the kitchen. His smile was a little bitter. Ye Yan saw it, but what could he do? He pretended not to see it and acted cheerful to liven up the atmosphere.
"That's right. You still have Xiaorui. Let her give birth to two children. You and Aunt Qiu can each take care of one. I'll raise them. All my money will be left to Xiaorui's children."
Ye Yan said generously, and Xiao Rui, who was serving the dishes, blushed immediately after hearing it.
"What are you talking about, idol? I don't even have a boyfriend yet, and you're already thinking about my child. But considering your wealth, I will definitely have two more children. By the way, can Mr. Xu's money be left to us as well?"
Xiao Rui became more and more aggressive, and before Ye Yan could respond, Qiu Yuan slapped her from behind.
"Shameless, is that something you can even think about? Hurry up and grab your bowl and eat."
"Mom, please be gentle. I'm already so old and you're still hitting me. I was joking, and you took it seriously? Besides, my big boss is a love-brained man. He would give my brother the moon, let alone a mere 100 billion in assets."
"Okay, shut up. I'm hungry. I'm going to call Brother Zhuo and ask him where he is."
Ye Yan interrupted Xiao Rui's description of Xu Qingran in time. She felt embarrassed to talk about her boyfriend in front of her family.
He also took the opportunity to leave Ye Youcheng and went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes. He didn't see that after he left, Ye Youcheng looked at his back and sighed weakly, his eyes full of regret.
Qiu Yuan cooked a lot of dishes today, all of which were Ye Yan's favorites. It was a rare opportunity for Tan Zhuoxi to eat home-cooked meals. He was so moved that tears almost came to his eyes while he was feasting on the food.
Ye Yan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she took an empty bowl and poured a bowl of soup in front of him.
"Be careful not to choke. How long has it been since you tasted home? It's so exaggerated."
Ye Yan joked while drinking her drink, and the next second Tan Zhuoxi picked up the soup bowl and took a big gulp without any hesitation.
“Auntie’s cooking is so delicious, I can’t stop eating it.”
What a show of support, Ye Yan thought. However, he admitted that Qiu Yuan’s dishes were indeed delicious. It was a pity that he drank two extra bowls of grouper soup today and could not eat any more.
Qiu Yuan was very happy to be praised and enthusiastically picked up some food for Tan Zhuoxi. Everyone at the table was happy and there was nothing wrong, except Ye Youcheng.
He seemed to have no appetite. Although the dishes were delicious, his expression showed that he was in a state of distaste.
Thinking that he was still sad about his relationship problems, Ye Yan silently put down the cup and poured Ye Youcheng a bowl of soup.
"Dad, this soup is good."
Ye Yan brought the soup to Ye Youcheng. Just like before, he didn't know what to say, but he still tried his best to let Ye Youcheng know that he needed him as a father. He not only welcomed them to come, but also looked forward to the moment of reunion.
Ye Youcheng couldn't hide the surprise that flashed across his eyes as he looked at the soup in front of him. He immediately put down his chopsticks, picked up the soup spoon and took a sip.
I don’t know if it was because he was too happy, but he accidentally choked after taking a bite. He immediately turned his head, covered his mouth and coughed a few times.
Seeing this, Ye Yan quickly took out a few tissues and handed them to him, "Dad, are you okay?"
Ye Youcheng waved his hand, adjusted himself, and sat up straight again. However, his expression became even uglier after coughing.
"It's okay. I don't eat sea fish often, so maybe I'm a little uncomfortable..."
"Oh, Xiaoyan, um, his name is Xu Qingran, right? I want to meet him. Ask him if he's willing to meet us. Your mom doesn't have time to take care of your affairs. It's a good opportunity for us to come here and meet and get to know each other. Dad needs to see with his own eyes that he's as good as you say, then he can feel at ease."
He took the initiative to mention Xu Qingran, and the dinner table suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at Ye Yan cautiously.
Ye Yan was a little confused. He didn't expect Ye Youcheng to care about him to the end.
My dad was going to meet his boyfriend. When he finally brought up something he had been looking forward to, he was actually a little nervous, and the back of his ears unconsciously turned red.
But it is undeniable that he is very willing to let Xu Qingran meet his family, after all, that guy is so outstanding.
"He's back in City A. I'll call him later..."
