Throughout this process, it was briefly discussed in a question-and-answer manner about what had happened all these years.
And when the atmosphere was good and the conversation reached its climax, his mother again took up the matter.
His eyes slowly wandered over Yun and Nanren first. Then he shifted to the clothes they were wearing.
A woman's intuition should not be underestimated.
He asked slowly, "How are you two?"
Nanren was instantly taken aback, even as his wife looked at him in amazement and stood with an expression of disbelief on her face. As she winced and tensed, Yun slowly took her hand and comforted her. He turned his head and looked at Yun, his eyes trembling as he relaxed a bit.
Seeing every detail of the present little movements in her eyes, the woman was absolutely certain.
With such a thin atmosphere, it would be a problem if the two were not together. It would either be in the future or this issue would definitely be on the agenda.
A suspicious light flashed in his father's eyes.
"I-we-" squeezing the cold hand he was holding, he relaxed and boldly admitted in one go, "We are together," he closed his eyes tightly as he confessed in one fell swoop. Moreover, Yun narrowed his eyes, looking at his appearance. Of course, if they weren't here, she'd definitely be messing around with this cutie look.
The gentle smile on his father's face seemed to petrify in an instant. It was more sculptural than sculpture. Naraf took a deep breath, his mother lowered her head, exhaling, hinting that even her mother knew.
However, at least this confession was a good thing, right? They might not even have news.
Again.
The idea that their son liked a man was not something to be dismissed for a while, even if it wasn't overly conventional.
Thus, the next moment, the gentle man's sharp eyes fell on Yun. With a slight hint of disapproval, as if he'd deceived an innocent person. Yun suddenly felt guilty. Really. She swallowed lightly and wanted to avert her gaze, but then she heard the man's sigh.
The man thought it was a simple interest. Until his gaze fell into his son's eyes. The bright yellow eyes were more determined than ever, reminding him of the time he married his wife. Even if he opened his mouth like this, he couldn't speak for a while, and eventually it turned into a sigh.
Leaning her back on the sofa, she clenched her staff and closed her eyes. "Well-"
What else could he say?
One look was enough, there was no need to put his feelings into words and trample them. All he saw was that bright glow. And maybe... that's why it's grown so well out there. He couldn't bear to argue like this. As if it was about to shatter all hope.
In a moment of hard acceptance, her eyes made her look even brighter. Nanren smiled more sincerely than ever before.
Others were stunned by this smile. In particular, this pure smile that had no impurities shook Yun's heart.
The kind of smile in his eyes like a kid who stole candy, sly but still without any malice.
"So... how far have you come-" the man coughed before he could ask, and finished with great hesitation. What he really wants to ask is how serious they are in this relationship. Wasn't that really just a whim?
But no, the unconcealable trust and dependence in his son's eyes was what kept him completely speechless.
Nanren blushed at once, Yun averted her gaze.
"Not long," Yun replied in a calm tone. He was stubborn even in front of his own family, so where was his courage back then? Yun had never felt so tense before.
Hearing the answer, the man frowned slightly that they were really fast. He was helpless as to what to do with this frivolous mind of the youth.
Only with Yun's candid and son's serious look could he at least at some point understand how things had come to this.
What could they do in this situation?
Other than support?
"Your family?" Yet another thought was enough to break his limit. Could a family like the Ji family, more glorious than in the world, accept their only son to be with a man?
Yun showed a comforting smile about this and said, "My family has known for a while and they have not expressed any objections about it."
Hearing this, the man seemed relieved for some reason. Maybe it was because he subconsciously didn't want his son to suffer.
