"Uncle?"
Li Xuan is held tightly in Su Xingchuan's arms.
"Xuanxuan , you don't need to prove anything to my mom."
Li Xuan choked back a sob and said, "To be."
"Why? Can't we be together without my mom's approval?"
Li Xuan froze, isn ...... t it?
Su Xingchuan cupped his face and gently wiped his tears with his fingertips, "No, whether she agrees or not, we have to be together, because, I can't wait."
Li Xuan looked at him tearfully.
Su Xingchuan says, "What happened seven years ago was my fault, I should have told my parents in advance and done their job. If Xuanxuan is at fault, Xuanxuan's only fault is that he didn't tell me about it."
The corners of Li Xuan's mouth turned downward, and his sobbing intensified.
"I don't want you to go to my mother, this was supposed to be something I was supposed to fix, Xuanxuan was supposed to be good," Su Xingchuan whispered in Li Xuan's ear, "a Good Baby, no need to prove it."
Li Xuan buried his face in Su Xingchuan's shoulder and mumbled, "Don't talk like that."
His little temper tantrums are making their first appearance again after seven years.
Su Xingchuan couldn't help but rub her cheek against his forehead like before, "You haven't eaten dinner yet, right? Go back and eat first, then sleep, I'll come pick you up from work in the morning, okay?"
"What about your mom?"
"I'll take care of it."
Li Xuan wrapped his arms tightly around Su Xingchuan's shoulders and pressed his whole body against his.
With Su Xingchuan by his side, Li Xuan was always at ease.
After Su Xingchuan went back, she and He Ning had another fight. He Ning could not understand Su Xingchuan's feelings for Li Xuan, and she put all the blame and complaints on Li Xuan, and then left angrily, telling Su Xingchuan before she left: "I will never agree. Before leaving, she tells Su Xingchuan: "I will never agree."
Su Xingchuan is also firm: "Mom, I have my life."
He Ning clutched the doorknob, both heartbroken and puzzled, "Xingchuan, how, how did you become like this? You've always been obedient, mom and dad are proud of you-"
"Just because I like men, do I not deserve to be your pride?"
He Ning was stunned.
"I haven't changed, if I had to say I've changed, it would probably be, he came back to me, and I feel like every day from now on is worth looking forward to, and I'm really happy."
He Ning surveyed him incredulously, as if looking at a stranger, and after a few moments, slammed the door.
Day two.
Su Xingchuan parked the car in front of Li Xuan's house on time.
I don't know if Li Xuan had greeted the property in advance, but Su Xingchuan's car was able to come in unimpeded and drove all the way to the entrance of Li Xuan's yard.
Li Xuan opened the door and saw him.
Su Xingchuan lowered the window.
Li Xuan's eyes lit up, and shallow dimples appeared on his cheeks.
He immediately ran over to me, and then halfway there he suddenly slowed down into a slow walk, as if somewhat reluctantly.
Su Xingchuan, somewhat puzzled, watched as he walked over to the car, opened the passenger door, and sat in without saying a word.
Su Xingchuan spent a few seconds thinking about it and suddenly got it, "So petty, still thinking about yesterday's humiliation in the restaurant."
Dr. Li boasts that seven years have already made him transformed and mature and brave, but yesterday he cried miserably, but also all by his ex-boyfriend in the eyes, and woke up feeling very humiliated, face can not pass, so he is ready to stay high for the time being.
Li Xuan turned his face, Su Xingchuan leaned over to help him fasten his seatbelt, and the distance between the two was instantly narrowed. A faint scent of toner lingers in his nose, the baby fat on Li Xuan's cheeks is gone, but his skin is still very good, fair and delicate, Su Xingchuan pretends to think that the seatbelt is not long enough and leans over again.
The meaning is self-explanatory.
Li Xuan's eyelashes fluttered and she lowered her eyes slightly.
Obviously two people seven years ago like glue, and yesterday told each other, originally thought that the next day to meet must be dry fire.
Whoever thought that was actually a little uncomfortable.
The atmosphere was inexplicably subtle.
It seems to be back to the very beginning when the windowpane would be broken.
Su Xingchuan was originally quite articulate, but now that he was so close, he didn't know what to say.
The two of them from the beginning of the relationship has not experienced a pure ambiguous period, Li Xuan with childish means of seduction, Su Xingchuan dimwitted like hold, from the first meeting to bed, adding up to no more than forty days, the back of the shameless to play all over the pattern.
Now that they had met again after a long time, the two men were restrained.
Su Xingchuan's chin was already touching Li Xuan's collar when the company's phone call came again.
It was a colleague from the company, "Manager Su, Mr. Yan asked you to come back to the company for a meeting at 10:30 in the morning about the previous Sheng An Group."
"Okay."
Su Xingchuan put down his cell phone, and Li Xuan turned around to look at him.
Li Xuan's eyes are always clear and bright.
Su Xingchuan touched his cheek with his fingertips and asked, "Are you on duty today?"
Li Xuan shook his head.
"I'm not working late today either, I'd like to invite Xie Liang and his girlfriend to dinner, can you join me?"
Li Xuan nods.
"Don't worry, they didn't blame you."
Li Xuan acted calmly, but the tips of his ears began to redden.
Su Xingchuan stifled his laughter, did not expose him, and asked softly, "Then after dinner ...... can you go home with me?"
Li Xuan looked at him, and both of them saw in each other's eyes something other than "going home".
He said, "Good."
Su Xingchuan's smile was hard to contain.
The car started slowly.
As Su Xingchuan's car disappeared around the corner, Li Xuan's mother, Xu Nianzhi, came out of the doorway and said to her husband, who was beside her, as she closed her coat, "I'm going to go talk to Su Xingchuan's mother."
Li Xuan's father took a sip of his coffee and was indifferent: "Let the children get over their own hurdles."
Xu Nianzhi, however, said, "The conceptual problems of the previous generation can't be considered a hurdle for the children, who are already having a hard time. It would be a shame if a good relationship is tossed away by the parents."
.
.
Su Xingchuan took Li Xuan to the door of the hospital.
I was about to release my seatbelt and kiss him when Li Xuan suddenly remembered, "You're coming in for a follow-up appointment next week."
What a pot calling the kettle black.
Both eyes went down at the same time.
Su Xingchuan: "......"
Su Xingchuan had forgotten that he had just had surgery in the past few days, and he didn't care about the occasional pain.
With a man's dignity at stake, Su Xingchuan pinched Li Xuan's hand, "Why don't you just take a look for me at home?"
Li Xuan seriously said, "No, to see if the stones have been completely discharged, we need to take a picture."
After saying that he felt his tone was too hard, so he changed it to, "I'll be gentle when I check."
"...... really have to wait a month after surgery?"
Li Xuan understood at once and gave a vague "hmm".
Su Xingchuan thought sadly, even if he brought Li Xuan home tonight, he couldn't do anything, was he going to cover the quilt and chat purely? What would Li Xuan think of him? What would Li Xuan think of him?
Li Xuan looked at Su Xingchuan steadily, not understanding why he suddenly turned pale and looked unhappy. He was waiting for Su Xingchuan to kiss him, but Su Xingchuan made no move for half a day.
Li Xuan was angry and got out of the car in a huff.
"Baby!"
Su Xingchuan shouted several times without stopping him.
And what are you mad about?
Because the company called for a meeting, Su Xingchuan and Xu Zhengdong's secretary took a leave of absence to go back to the company first.
Yan Tao now treats him very well, changing his previous strict requirements and speaking very politely, probably because he thinks Su Xingchuan has already climbed up Xu Zhengdong's hierarchy and does not dare to treat him badly.
Yan Tao came over, "Back, busy over there?"
Su Xingchuan smiled and said, "It's okay."
Yan Tao walked into the conference room, and let Su Xingchuan sit on the side seat closest to him. His attitude of holding Su Xingchuan up was obvious, and Zhou Jing, who was sitting at the other end of the room, instantly blackened his face.
Su Xingchuan doesn't care about him.
During the meeting, Su Xingchuan's cell phone vibrated frequently.
He looked down and the caller was his dad.
His dad kept calling him, and it didn't take much to figure out what it was about. Su Xingchuan replied on WeChat [in a meeting], but it didn't help that his dad's call just ended, and his aunt's call was busy again.
Su Xingchuan can only put his cell phone into silent mode.
The meeting ended, Su Xingchuan walked to the stairwell, called his father back, Su's father split his head and said, "What do you really want? Do you want to make your mom and dad mad?"
Su Xingchuan felt tired as he held on to his last bit of patience, "I don't want to, your two elder's emotions are not agitated for now."
"Your mom has been crying since she got back."
Su Xingchuan is silent.
"The neighbor Auntie Qian's son gave birth to a little girl in June this year, a family of three and beautiful, I look envious, can't you be like him?"
Su Xingchuan leaned against the wall and pressed his temples.
It's really pissed off.
"In the past, Auntie Qian always said that she envied our family, saying that her son was no good, couldn't read a book, the job was still looking for through connections, and the mortgage to buy a house was all borne by his parents....... At that time, you and mom both said that I was filial and understanding, and now it's all changed?"
Su's father was dumbfounded.
He saw that he could not say Su Xingchuan, and asked his aunt to come, Su Xingchuan did not want to answer, and had no choice but to hang up his aunt's phone.
Xu Zhengdong's secretary called and asked him to look at the material.
Su Xingchuan could only drive back to Zhongjin first.
Busy work made him forget about his parents' pestering for a while, and when it was almost time for lunch, he suddenly remembered what he had said at the western restaurant yesterday and called Xie Liang.
"Busy?"
"It's not bad," Xie Liang just got out of Party A's company and got into the car, "Eh-oh, listen to this voice, spring is in the air."
Su Xingchuan smiled, "Thanks to you."
"How dare you mention this to me!" Xie Liang feinted and snickered, "Drag that little doctor of yours out of your house, call me brother to my face, and apologize before this is over, you hear me?"
"Called just to ask you to dinner, but the fault is mine and I apologize for the little doctor."
Xie Liang is not convinced, "show love to my head, my wife and I have received a red book, how about you two?"
Su Xingchuan was just about to speak when he received another message from his aunt and was silent for a moment, Xie Liang noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My parents disagreed, the old two were like crazy, kept calling and messaging me, and had my aunt come over to persuade me as well, it felt like homosexuality was similar to an incurable disease in their eyes, and that I would be hopeless once I caught it."
"The older generation."
"It's all we can do to stalemate with them now."
Xie Liang flirted with him, "It's rare that you have a moment when you don't have an idea."
"Why don't you come and be a bit of a shield for me, haven't you met my mom? You go tell her that you're gay too."
"You're damn right it's not over, are you!"
Su Xingchuan laughed and said, "You tell her, you've had a crush on me for years, I'm going to be either with you or with Li Xuan, you let my mom choose, my mom must think, anyway, it's already ruined, so it might as well be Li Xuan."
"........." Xie Liang drawled, "It's hard to imagine that the person I'm talking to on the phone is a human being."
Su Xingchuan laughed out loud.
The depression abruptly soothed a bit.
"Let's see if I don't kill your Dr. Li tonight - hey? Isn't that Xu Zhengdong?" Xie Liang said, startled.
Su Xingchuan froze, "What?"
"I drove past this men's hospital, hiss, Xu Zhengdong's car is a Cullinan, right, a black Cullinan with a license plate number of five eights, why is he here? Wait a minute! Isn't that your boyfriend?" Xie Liang suddenly raised his voice, "Chuan ah, it's really your boyfriend! Wearing a long white down jacket, it's him, isn't it."
Su Xingchuan shot straight up, "Where did they go?"
"I... I'll keep up."
Xie Liang immediately reversed direction, his mouth grinning non-stop: "Your family Dr. Li also came to catch my adultery, today let me catch the opportunity to catch his adultery, but brother, don't feel bad!"
Su Xingchuan said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense! Li Xuan is not that kind of person."
Li Xuan must have gone to showdown with Xu Zhengdong.
He trusts Li Xuan.
"OK, OK, OK, I'm following them, they're coming out of Wenxuan Street, heading to Nancheng Avenue, where does Nancheng Avenue lead to?" Xie Liang muttered while driving, causing Su Xingchuan's heart to burn. Xie Liang while driving while muttering, causing Su Xingchuan heart burning, Xie Liang see Xu Zhengdong's Cullinan right turn, also immediately hit the turn signal, "Nancheng Avenue West, this is where to go...... "
Su Xingchuan was already sitting on the edge of his seat.
Of course he trusts Li Xuan 100%, but he doesn't trust Xu Zhengdong in case Xu Zhengdong doesn't agree to break up and hurt Li Xuan.
What to do?
He immediately sent a message to Li Xuan, who did not reply.
Xie Liang muttered, "Why does this route look so familiar? It feels like they've reached their destination, turned the corner and headed in-"
Xie Liang suddenly got stuck.
Su Xingchuan was shocked, "Where did it go? Say something!"
"Enter the Zhongjin Group."
Su Xingchuan froze again, "What?"
"Into Zhongjin." Xie Liang said doubtfully.
Su Xingchuan reacted, could it be that ...... Xu Zhengdong had come to settle accounts with him?
He got up immediately.
He knows very well that he is not in a position to argue with Xu Zhengdong, but he has to, even if Xu Zhengdong takes away his project, targets him, and leaves him with no foothold in the investment bank, he has to fight.
He couldn't wait another seven years.
Xu Zhengdong is a regular at the club, and has a reputation for being a womanizer with numerous affairs. For this reason, Su Xingchuan does not feel comfortable leaving Li Xuan in the hands of Xu Zhengdong, and Li Xuan can only be taken care of by him.
He rushed downstairs without his jacket.
Blocked Xu Zhengdong at the elevator entrance on the second basement level.
Xu Zhengdong was leading Li Xuan into the elevator, and said, "You still have to go to his office to give him a surprise, uncle is so nice to you, why don't you ever see you give uncle a surprise?"
Li Xuan said, "When I was nine years old, you cheated me out of all my New Year's money in order to buy a car for your then-boyfriend, and you haven't paid me back to this day."
"...... There's still this?" Xu Zhengdong tsked twice, "Really holding a grudge."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the elevator doors opened.
Xu Zhengdong just walked out with Li Xuan.
Before he could even look up, Su Xingchuan walked over quickly and yanked Li Xuan directly behind him.
"Mr. Xu, I have something to say to you."
Li Xuan was dumbfounded, he hadn't sent any message to Su Xingchuan, how did Su Xingchuan know that he was looking for him?
Su Xingchuan said solemnly, "Mr. Xu, you appointed me to be in charge of the listing project, and you know me well, and I'm very grateful, but when it comes to Li Xuan, I can't back down by half a step, he and I are bound to be together, and I said before that if you were not good to him, I'd definitely snatch him back, but I've changed my mind now, and I'm going to snatch him back, even if you're good to him. back--"
"Because you two just don't fit!"
Xu Zhengdong narrowed his eyes slightly.
Su Xingchuan continued with righteous indignation, "Only I understand him, only I can take care of him, even if you withdraw my project today, I still say, Mr. Xu, I hope you break up with him!"
There was a sudden silence all around.
It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Xu Zhengdong looked at him and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Li Xuan then poked his head out from behind Su Xingchuan and called out with a puzzled voice, "Uncle?"
"........."
Xu Zhengdong raised his eyebrows at Su Xingchuan.
Su Xingchuan shivered and followed suit, "Uncle."
