Chapter 64: Mr. Chen is really brave to challenge himself.
Translator: DragonRider
Rong Yi’s parents were both Betas.

His mother was warm and outgoing, while his father was restrained and introverted. In terms of both their appearances and figures, they looked really ordinary. However, interestingly, when Rong Yi stood beside them, one glance would be enough to see he was their son. Since Rong Yi was a child, elders around him would make jokes about him, saying he was born especially smart because he only chose the best of their parents to inherit and then combined their strong points.

Only his height seemed to have mutated.

About their Omega son who was tall and handsome, but always unable to find a partner, his parents were actually more open-minded than Rong Yi himself.

Since his high school, his mother had privately hinted several times, suggesting that she wouldn’t mind if he took an Omega home in the future. She was open-minded, but she didn’t understand Rong Yi’s heart. Having grown up to match his own mate criteria was not what he chose initiatively.

After finding that Rong Yi was only interested in Alphas and was especially particular about appearance, his mother almost held no hope for him to find a partner.

Till now, other bachelors of the same age were forced by their families to participate in blind dates, but Rong Yi’s parents still didn’t take any action.

Rong Yi could have probably guessed the reason. They were only afraid of giving him too much pressure. They only hoped he could be happy. His parents’ considerateness made it difficult for Rong Yi to take the initiative to say, “No, mom, I am not happy. Hurry and introduce one or two mates to me, please.”

For many years, Rong Yi’s feelings about his parents’ open-mindedness had been complicated.

On the one hand, he was very touched, while on the other hand, he felt really sad.

However, before today, he had always been in acquiescence that his parents actually didn’t care much about his emotional status.

Until now, he pressed the phone’s answer button with tension and anxiety and found that the sound coming from the opposite side was several times more excited than he imagined.

“Oh dear, your cousin said she saw you on the Internet?”

Rong Yi swallowed very nervously: “Eh…”

“That young man holding your hand, what is your relationship?”

Rong Yi blushed and wanted to say, “That was my new boyfriend”. However, before he opened his mouth, he burst into laughing.

And his mother also began to laugh at the other end of the phone. “Oh, he looks pretty good. Do you have photos that show his face more clearly?”

Well, no.

In fact, Rong Yi felt somewhat rejoiced and lucky that in photos exposed on the Internet, Chen Keyao only showed his side face or half of his side face. The scar on his face was quite amazing, able to change instantly the temperament of his whole person. When it was not seen, Chen Keyao looked like a serious business elite. However, when it was displayed, the whole person of Chen Keyao seemed to be a bandit. Anyway, he was still handsome. Rong Yi didn’t mind at all. However, what the elders could accept was after all different. If the partner one found for himself looked like an underground boss, whose parents wouldn’t be worried? Fortunately, during this period, the scar had recovered in a gratifying speed. It was hoped that when Rong Yi brought Chen Keyao back home and formally introduced him to his parents, it would recover as if it hadn’t ever existed.

“Hey, you seem to be so happy that you look like a fool now.” His mother couldn’t be happier. “Oh, son. How old is your partner? What’s his job?”

Rong Yi honestly answered his mother’s enquiries one by one. Rong Yi hadn’t found it before, but now when he was asked carefully, he suddenly realized that when spoken out, all of Chen Keyao’s conditions were especially creditable.

Chen Keyao had a house and a car, a pretty good income and flexible working hours. The only disadvantage on the marriage and love market was that his parents were divorced. However, Rong Yi knew his family wouldn’t mind.

Now, he finally found out that his parents’ calmness had always been a pretension. In fact, they looked forward to marrying him out with more keenness than anyone else did. After investigating about Chen Keyao, both the mother and the son were pretty pleased.

“Oh, son. From what you said, little Chen is really outstanding.” As she was speaking, her tone suddenly became a little serious. “You tell me honestly. Have you already secretly got the marriage certificate?”

“No, I haven’t!” Rong Yi quickly denied.

His mother smiled at the other end.

“See how intoxicated you are. It is quite excusable if you got the certificate under impulse. As long as little Chen treats you well, I won’t be angry.” Unfortunately, most middle-aged women would rather believe in Internet rumors than their sons. “But ah, neither I nor your father has seen him so far, so we are still worried after all. See, when it is convenient…”

When Rong Yi was turning stiff, there came from his back the sound of the door opening.

Chen Keyao came out of his room with sleepy eyes, yawned exaggeratedly, and then asked, “On the phone again.”

Rong Yi mouthed to him, “My mother.”

Hearing this, Chen Keyao, who was sleepy, unkempt and sloppy, instantly stood straight and when he opened his mouth, his voice was really loud. “Hi. Good evening, Auntie!”

Rong Yi almost fainted on the spot.

This person must have overslept so as to be a little silly. Rong Yi was only talking on the phone. If Chen Keyao hadn’t made a sound, the other side would never have known there came another person. He was simply making unnecessary trouble.

“Oh. So little Chen is right next to you?”

Chen Keyao’s loud voice really passed over to Rong Yi’s mother. Rong Yi’s head ached.

“Mom, if you have nothing else to talk to me, I will hang up. Later, I will…”

“No, wait.” His mother was very anxious. “Come on. Give him the phone and let Mom talk to him.”

Rong Yi looked awkwardly at Chen Keyao, who was still highly nervous.

“Come on!” The other side urged again.

Rong Yi frowned and handed the phone to Chen Keyao.

Chen Keyao took it over as if scared. Before he spoke, he coughed twice unnaturally.

“Auntie, hello. Yes, yes, yes. It’s me. It’s ok. You can call me little Chen.”

As he spoke, his mandarin was much more standard than usual, and even his expression was particularly matching. Rong Yi thought if Chen Keyao hadn’t been so unkempt that his hair looked like a bird nest and there hadn’t been a scar on his face, he should help them make a video call and let his mother see how much this little Chen respected her.

“Oh, yes, we… Rong Yi rented my house before…. Yes, auntie, we actually met at that time. Auntie, you do remember very well. Yes, ah… together… It’s been a while.”

He began to lie, knowing well that they were together for less than ten hours.

“Ah? Oh… yes, that’s right. Ok, of course. Auntie, when it is convenient for you, I will buy tickets for you and my uncle. No trouble, no trouble at all. This is what I should do. Now it is especially convenient to buy tickets online… Ah, yes, of course, my dad is free, always free. When your schedule is made, I will tell him and ask him to contact you personally? Auntie, this is my mobile phone number…”

The more Rong Yi listened to their talk, the weirder he felt. He began to gesture crazily in front of Chen Keyao.

Chen Keyao ignored him, turned 360°away just to get Rong Yi out of his sight.

“Ok, ok, ok. When you and my uncle are ready, you can contact me directly. No trouble, really no trouble at all. Auntie, don’t put on any ceremony. Ah, so, then I will return the phone to Rong Yi? Oh… ok, ok, ok. No problem. Sure. Well, that’s all for now. If you have anything to talk to me, please call me at any time. Ok, ok, ok. Sure. Fine. Well. No problem. Of course.”

Rong Yi took back his phone, totally dazed. Before he spoke anything, he heard his mother’s concerned tone. “Son, so little Chen is your landlord. Didn’t you say there was something wrong with him at that time?”

“…” Rong Yi was so guilty, and looked at Chen Keyao in front of him. “…He recovered.”

Seeing Chen Keyao look perplexed, Rong Yi quickly yelled at the phone. “Well, that’s all. It is late. You should go to sleep early, good night!”

Just after Rong Yi hung up, Chen Keyao immediately grabbed his shoulder and shook badly: “What should I do! Your mom said they would come over and meet my dad! Too sudden! Oh, f**k. I am so nervous!”

Rong Yi felt dizzy because of his shaking. “Quickly let go of me. Otherwise, I will kiss you!”

So Chen Keyao did not shake anymore, but did not loosen his hand. He looked at Rong Yi nervously and licked his lips.

The two men looked at each other for a while, and Chen Keyao finally spoke again, “…Did you really mean it?”

Rong Yi finally realized that this threat was actually useless. This Mr. Chen in front of him was really brave to challenge himself.

Of course, Rong Yi didn’t mind cooperating with him to accomplish the challenge.

However, Rong Yi was worried that if Chen Keyao vomited again, it would hurt his stomach. Therefore, Rong Yi just quickly got close and touched Chen Keyao’s face shortly and then immediately retreated. Then, before Chen Keyao spoke and protested, Rong Yi pre-emptively said, “Now you are asking me what to do. Why didn’t you think about what to do just now when you answered yes, yes, yes like a lackey?”

“…really like a lackey?” Chen Keyao began to worry. “Did I try too hard and left a bad impression on her on the contrary?”

Rong Yi looked helplessly at him. “Aren’t you thinking too much?”

“What if she doesn’t like me?” Chen Keyao said.

“…What… does it matter?” Rong Yi whispered. “If she doesn’t like you, let her be.”

“It does matter. What if she is against you and me?”

Rong Yi looked up at him and said, “Even if she doesn’t like you, I still like you. What are you afraid of?”

“…”

Seeing Chen Keyao suddenly blushing, he couldn’t help but feel a little proud. He smiled widely at Chen Keyao. However, just when Rong Yi wanted to reach out, hug him and say some love prattles to make him reassured, he saw Chen Keyao suddenly stepped back and then squatted down.

“…What are you doing?” Rong Yi’s hands were still in the air.

Chen Keyao just covered his mouth, not saying a word, but only shaking his head.

Rong Yi couldn’t help but frown, and followed him to squat down.

“Why would you suddenly think about… that kind of thing at this time? What happened to you?”

Chen Keyao was focusing on forbearance and thus didn’t have time to answer.

This was so inopportune, such an atmosphere killer. Rong Yi sighed, then stood up, looked around the room and summoned up his courage to take from the cabinet a bottle of extremely expensive water and handed it to Chen Keyao.

Chen Keyao drank down almost eighty-yuan in one breath, and then he finally sighed with ease and teary eyes.

Then he looked up at Rong Yi. “When Auntie, uncle and my father are present, don’t seduce me, remember?”

Rong Yi thought, “Oh, bullshit! Just now, I wasn’t seducing you at all.”

.

From that evening to the next day, Rong Yi received greetings from at least a dozen of friends who had not been in contact with him for a long time.

Some of his information did appear on the Internet, and some of them vividly told about the love history between him and many Omegas when he was a student. Fortunately, all the private parts were quickly deleted, so he did not receive too much harassment from strangers.

However, the bombardment from acquaintances was already too difficult for him to cope with. Everyone was asking him: When did you get married? How could you hide so well?

Rong Yi simply edited a template, copying, pasting and sending it to everyone. He told them that there were some minor misunderstandings in the Internet rumors. It was indeed his boyfriend that was with him, but they were still not married. In addition, he was not familiar with Mo Yufei, so it was not convenient for him to ask for Mo Yufei’s signature.

Not only he, but also Chen Keyao, whose photos were put on the Internet together with Rong Yi’s, was bombarded.

Then Rong Yi made two discoveries.

This person did not seem to deny when facing the same questions.

And, that netizen of his replied shortly after Chen Keyao picked up his phone.

“LOL, thanks to your wish. I did succeed!”

Rong Yi was excited, and quickly sent a message.

“What about the love letter you wrote? Did you give it to him?”

Yaoyao: Dad, are you free recently? There is something… Rong Yi, do you remember him? The one who is living in my house… Don’t be nervous. It’s a good thing.
