Yating loosened and adjusted his tie as he breathed in and breathed out. He checked himself in the mirror and exhaled once again.
"Why do I feel that you are going out for a war?" Chyou blinked.
She was seated beside him in his car that was parked outside the Zhu villa.
"How can I not feel nervous? I will be facing Mr. and Mrs. Zhu as your boyfriend now. Just thinking about that gives the chills…"
"Mom and Dad are really cool! They won't eat you alive," she chirped and then murmured, "Hopefully…"
"I heard that," his brow twitched.
She grinned and locked her arm in his. "You are stressing out for no reason. I am sure they will welco you with open arms!"
However, Xiaosi's hands were in his pockets as he stood eye to eye with Yating, narrowing them now and then.
"Broooooooo!!"
Xiang was the first one to drop a tight bear hug as he dashed towards him with lightning speed. "So of my secret sources leaked the good news to ~ You will be my future brother-in-law from now on!"
He sparkled enthusiastically, enveloping the whole villa in his golden might.
"I finally got sobody on my team!"
Chyou frowned. "What do you an by your team? Yating is on my team!"
"No way! Brother-in-laws always form the strongest bonds! Naturally, he is with ," he nodded thoughtfully.
"Hey, Xiang," Yating smiled, ruffling his head. "It's great to see you hopping energetically as always."
"Hehe~"
"By the way, what are the secret sources you were talking about earlier?"
Xiang smirked. "Well it's supposed to be a secret because they are secret sources. But you will be my brother-in-law, so no secrets will be kept! The secret source is none other than Grandpa Liu!"
"..."
Why didn't I think of this earlier?
"Ohhhh," Chyou laughed. "Well, we did et at the mall."
"So he spilled out everything," Yating coughed.
"Grandpa Liu can only keep food in his stomach, not secrets," Xiang rolled his eyes.
Caihong cleared her throat and pulled her son's ears to drag him away. "Will you make so space for your parents?"
"I won't!"
Caihong forcefully dragged him out anyway and alongwith Xiaosi, faced Yating with a grin. "Nice to see you here~"
Yating straightened up and then bowed. "It's a pleasure to et you too, Mrs. Zhu. I am glad to see you all doing well."
"Chyou and Xiang keep things lively here, haha."
He nodded.
Then ca the heart of the matter and the ti to introduce himself though Xiang had already done the part. He took a deep breath.
"Mr. Zhu. Mrs. Zhu. I ca here tonight to officially introduce myself as Chyou's boyfriend. I took Chyou on a date tonight and we confessed."
He withdrew his bow and looked straight at them, his heart palpitating at full speed.
"I love Chyou a lot and I promise that I will take good care of her. I will never betray her and never leave her alone. I won't let anybody hurt her," his eyes glinted with a steely determination. "We hope you give your blessings to us."
Chyou slightly hid behind Xiang to hide her flushed face that also left a tinge of mistiness in her eyes.
Xiang looked back and gasped. "You blush too? Aren't you always in your monster mode?" He whispered in shock.
"Ouch!"
Chyou stomped on his foot with her heel, pinching his cheek hard. "Did you say sothing?"
Her warning glare made tears plopped in his eyes. "I am sorry sis. This humble servant was just joking!"
She harrumphed.
On the other side, a beat of silence stretched for soti after Yating's declaration.
Why isn't Uncle saying anything…? He sweated internally. Is he against our relationship?
Amidst his chaotic thoughts, Caihong rolled her eyes and dropped a light smack on her husband.
"You can drop the act, Xiaosi. You are scaring my poor son-in-law for no reason!"
Xiaosi scrunched up his brows in dissatisfaction. "Why did you have to expose ?"
Hm? Yating blinked, confused.
"The tension was heightening."
"That was the whole point. I wanted to say at least once 'You cannot have my daughter unless you cross a sea of fire for her.' But then again, Yating had already saved Chyou's life by jumping into the fire himself."
"So why make things difficult?" she asked.
Xiaosi sighed and unlocked his phone. He smiled at Yating. "I am sorry for the tension buildup but I couldn't help but tease you a bit as revenge."
"Revenge?" Yating looked puzzled.
"Do you know how many tis Gu Rong has hamred down on my phone with his continuous ssages?" Xiaosi grimaced.
"Huh? Dad?"
"See for yourself."
Zhu Xiaosi. I heard the good news! My son finally confessed to Chyou and so I imagine that he will definitely co to visit you first after their date. I know that you are Chyou's father but don't make things difficult for Yating, okay?
Yating will keep Chyou very happy. So don't bully him!
I am telling you if you will make things unnecessarily difficult for my son just because you have a daughter complex, then you will face my wrath!
I have secretly watched many dramas and the girl's father always acts strict and hard towards her boyfriend. Don't be like that towards my son, okay?
Zhu Xiaosi? Helloooooo? Why aren't you replying to ? You have definitely seen my ssages, haven't you!
You are not going to bully my son, right? He is a good man!
Yating - "..."
He pressed his lips inward, not having the courage to break the awkward silence.
Dad!!!!!!! Why would you drop such ssages to Uncle Xiaosi!? I am not a kid!
Xiaosi smiled. "First of all, I wasn't going to bully you or make things difficult for you. Second of all, he calls a father with a daughter complex but doesn't he have a son complex as well? A big one at that. Pot calling the kettle black?"
Yating wiped his forehead. "Well…"
Chyou looked through the ssages too and burst out into laughter. "Hahaha, Uncle Rong is so cute!"
Caihong helplessly chuckled too.
Ugh, Dad! I won't forgive you for this! Yating lacked tears to shed.
Sowhere inside the Gu villa, Gu Rong sneezed. "Is this a sign? Is Zhu Xiaosi bullying my son? I should be going-"
Butler Mo forced the duvet upon him. "Just go to sleep, Master."
"..."
