When Wen Yan was on the phone with Ye Ting, Wen Xueli happened to return home.
The man has always been busy, rarely leaving work early.
Wen Yan originally wanted to spend some quality time with him, but since that night, he didn’t know how to face the man, becoming increasingly silent in his presence.
Wen Xueli did not perceive his unease. Seeing him standing awkwardly on the stairs, he secretly thought that this young man was too shy.
He spoke, “Do you want to go to Disneyland?”
Wen Yan felt that the man was busy, and his suggestion was probably just to advise him to go out for a walk. He said, “Hmm, I’ll find time to go on my own.”
Wen Xueli fell silent for a few seconds before saying, “Then I’ll have someone accompany you.”
He agreed.
The uncle and nephew exchanged greetings like this, each returning to their rooms without much communication.
In the evening, when Wen Yan talked to Ye Ting on the phone, he mentioned the events of that night.
Ye Ting could hardly believe it.
He had pursued He Jing for so long, finally got together with him, and every time he tried to be intimate with He Jing, he was rejected. Meanwhile, Wen Yan walked in front of him1This means Wen Yan got to do ‘it’ before him HAHHAHAHHA?
Ye Ting pursed his lips, secretly determined to catch up with the speed of his friend. He asked his friend, “Do you like him?” Without waiting for Wen Yan to answer, he added, “If you do, go for it. If you don’t, just treat it as being bitten by a dog.”
That was his straightforward nature. Just like when he realized he had fallen for He Jing, he boldly and passionately pursued him for several years.
Wen Yan remained silent on the other end. After a long pause, he said, “I’m not sure.”
Ye Ting scratched his head, unable to find words to comfort his friend. He could only advise him not to overthink it.
Compared to Wen Yan’s dilemma, Ye Ting’s days were incredibly smooth.
After his identity was exposed, the people on the set became more enthusiastic and exceptionally friendly towards him, making his filming process very smooth.
The online issue with Hao Yunlong was quickly resolved.
Initially, there were reporters waiting at the set’s entrance for a chance to interview Ye Ting, but they were all blocked by Yang Xuanyang.
Interestingly, some star-struck girls, having seen Ye Ting’s photos and finding him exceptionally handsome, combined with his influential family background, gradually became his fans for his looks and career.
Unfortunately, Ye Ting’s social media account, apart from the initial posts, was not updated. He had no plans to use it again, as he hadn’t decided whether to continue acting and didn’t want to reveal too much information about himself for now.
On Saturday, after finishing the noon shoot, Ye Ting asked the director for a two-day break, claiming he needed to return to Haicheng.
The director naturally agreed.
Yang Xuanyang accompanied him back to Haicheng. He slept throughout the journey, having shot late into the night for several consecutive nights, and started working at 6 a.m. today. Despite being young, he was a bit exhausted.
When he woke up, he found that they had arrived in Haicheng, and the car was parked at the highway exit.
He rubbed his eyes and sat up, puzzled, “Why did we stop?”
No one answered him, and he noticed that Yang Xuanyang and the bodyguards were not in the car compartment.
Looking out of the car window, he realized that the door was pushed open, and his eyes met a familiar face.
It was He Jing.
Ye Ting widened his eyes in surprise.
He Jing smiled at him and, noticing the fatigue on his face, embraced him after getting into the car, saying, “It’s still an hour away from home; take a little nap.”
At this moment, the driver and Yang Xuanyang also returned to the car, sitting in the front row. The car started, heading towards the city.
He Jing lowered the partition.
Ye Ting had been staring at him in a daze.
He never expected He Jing to come to the highway exit to pick him up. Besides being pleasantly surprised, he couldn’t find any words to say.
He Jing scratched his chin, “What’s the matter? Still half-asleep?”
Ye Ting gradually came back to his senses, shook his head, nuzzled into He Jing’s palm, not hiding his emotions, and softly said, “I’m so happy you came to pick me up.”
He Jing smiled again, put Ye Ting’s head against his chest, and said, “Go to sleep.”
He then kissed the top of Ye Ting’s head.
Feeling sweet inside, Ye Ting whispered, “I’m already wide awake.”
In reality, he was still a bit tired, but the thought of meeting He Jing’s parents soon made him nervous.
He tugged at He Jing’s shirt, “Jing-ge, I bought some gifts and left them at home. I was planning to go back first…”
He Jing didn’t mind that he personally chose the gifts. It showed how considerate the young man was.
He gently said, “It’s okay. I’ve already bought them for you. You can bring them when we arrive.”
Ye Ting, feeling even more touched that He Jing had prepared the gifts for him, hugged He Jing’s arm and said, “I picked those things out myself. I want to give them to Uncle and Auntie.”
He Jing nodded, “Then have someone bring them over.”
It was the thoughtfulness of the young man, and He Jing naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Ye Ting knocked on his own head and said, “I forgot; we can have the servant send them over.”
Seeing him cutely knocking his own head in regret, He Jing chuckled, touched his face, and asked, “Can you sleep now?”
Ye Ting giggled, “I’m really not sleepy… Husband, let’s kiss.”
Without waiting for He Jing’s reaction, he leaned in and planted a kiss on He Jing’s rosy lips.
He Jing’s eyes darkened, holding the back of the young man’s head, his tongue exploring deeply, kissing Ye Ting until he felt limp all over.
When they arrived at He Jing’s parents’ house, Ye Ting’s lips were slightly swollen, and his legs felt weak.
Nevertheless, He Jing still smiled, embraced him, and lightly played with his lip, asking, “Do you want another kiss?”
Ye Ting: “…”
The man had picked up some bad habits and was no longer the cadre he once knew.
But Ye Ting liked it!
This time, it was an official meeting, and not only did Ye Ting pay attention, but Mr. and Mrs. He was also busy early on. Mrs. He prepared a table full of dishes and urged Mr. He to wear the most decent clothes.
Ye Ting entered with gifts, addressing them as Uncle and Auntie.
Initially, it was a bit awkward. Ye Ting was afraid the two elders might think he was too young to be with He Jing, while Mr. and Mrs. He were concerned that Ye Ting, being born into nobility, might look down on their lower status.
Fortunately, as Ye Ting often approached Mr. and Mrs. He in the past, he was very familiar with the two elderly people. Being the most likable child, he quickly made Mr. and Mrs. He smile.
He Jing smiled slightly on the side, looking at the young man affectionately as he clung to his parents’ arms.
Harmony between parents and loved ones is the greatest happiness.
After dinner, it was already nine o’clock at night, and He Jing accompanied Ye Ting back.
Ye Ting rarely came back to Haicheng, and of course, he wanted to spend the night with He Jing. However, he knew that He Jing would definitely not agree, so he obediently complied.
He was very happy today, getting the recognition of He Jing’s parents and receiving a substantial red envelope from the two elders.
Naturally, the red envelope was a meeting gift, indicating that the He family had approved him as He Jing’s partner.
He held onto the two red envelopes happily until he got into the car.
He Jing was in the driver’s seat, tilting his head to look at him, and a gentle smile played on his lips.
Ye Ting met the tender gaze of the man and blushed slightly as he put away the red envelopes. Then, he grabbed one of the man’s hands and placed it on his knee.
He Jing held the steering wheel with one hand, while the other hand toyed with something in his hand, not pulling it back.
“I’m really happy,” Ye Ting smiled and looked outside the car.
The neon lights along the road flickered, and as the car moved forward, the neon lights retreated frame by frame, creating a beautiful and enchanting scene.
After smiling for a while, Ye Ting turned to look at the handsome man beside him, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
He actually wanted to ask when the man planned to visit his parents at the Ye family.
But he was afraid of adding pressure to the man.
Sensing his gaze, He Jing asked gently, “What’s wrong?”
Ye Ting shook his head.
The current development had exceeded his expectations, and he shouldn’t be too greedy.
He absentmindedly played with the man’s fingers, suppressing the emotions in his heart.
But then he heard the man speak, “I’ve made an appointment with Uncle and Aunt. We’ll visit them tomorrow.”
He immediately widened his eyes and looked at the man.
The man’s face was calm, eyes fixed ahead, and he casually said, “I invited Auntie to come along.”
Ye Ting was dumbfounded.
After a moment, he suppressed the waves of surprise in his heart and jokingly said, “Are you afraid that my family won’t agree, so you brought Auntie along as a mediator? Don’t worry, my parents really like you. They can’t wait to pack me up for you.”
His plump and rosy lips moved, and the lip beads danced along with them.
He Jing looked at the tempting lip of the young man through the rearview mirror, as well as the excitement deliberately suppressed in the young man’s eyes. His gaze was unusually gentle.
He knew that Ye’s family had all agreed to their relationship, but visiting elders was a matter of courtesy. Inviting Auntie Ye along was also to have her as a witness, making the occasion more solemn.
Ye Ting was overjoyed and didn’t know how to express it. He gripped the man’s fingers tightly.
He Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, not reminding the young man that he was hurting his fingers.
After escorting Ye to the old Ye family residence, He Jing unfastened the seatbelt for the young man and said, “It’s too late. I won’t go in to visit the elders. You go back and rest early. See you tomorrow.”
Ye Ting nodded with a smile, “I’ll wait for you at home tomorrow.”
The night breeze was gentle, and the yard was lit with dim lights. Tree shadows scattered, and the young man stood in the dappled light, smiling sweetly at him.
Even in the faint light, the young man’s face looked so innocent and beautiful.
He Jing reached out and pulled him behind a tree, tightly holding the young man’s waist, biting the lip beads he had been wanting to lick in the car.
The young man loved kissing him the most. His arms immediately wrapped around He Jing’s neck, pressing tightly against him, responding to his kiss with the utmost passion.
The two bid each other a sweet farewell, looking forward to meeting again tomorrow.
The next day, He Jing arrived at the Ye family with numerous gifts as planned.
The Ye family also attached great importance to this meeting. Aside from some distant relatives, nearly all the immediate family members, numbering around fifty, were present.
Not to mention He Jing, even Ye Ting was a bit overwhelmed by this turnout. Holding He Jing’s hand, he jokingly suggested eloping, leaving He Jing not knowing where to cry or to laugh.
Usually, He Jing interacted with Ye’s family members in business settings, but this time, he came as Ye Ting’s boyfriend, making him a bit nervous.
Fortunately, he was usually composed, and others couldn’t tell whether he was nervous or calm.
During this meeting, both sides agreed that the Ye family would arrange for the two to get engaged as soon as possible, and they would marry after Ye Ting graduated in his senior year.
Ye Ting pouted on the side, “Wait four more years to get married? That’s too long, I don’t agree!”
He hadn’t forgotten that the man said they had to wait until marriage to consummate the relationship.
Four years. The man could endure it, but he couldn’t.
He glanced at the man with a grievance, accusing him of being cruel.
He Jing sat beside him, and seeing this, he found it somewhat amusing. His expression remained unchanged, but his hand, under the table, held the young man’s fingers, giving a gentle squeeze as a reassurance.
Ye Ting instantly lost his temper.
Since the man and his family had already agreed, he would just have to comply.
When He Jing left in the evening, Ye Ting accompanied him to the courtyard, holding his hand. He seemed reluctant and said, “Jing-ge, can I come to your place?”
Tomorrow, he had to return to the film and television city to continue filming, and they would be separated again.
He Jing intertwined his fingers with Ye Ting’s, lowering his head to kiss the tip of his nose. “I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”
Ye Ting quickly shook his head. “No need, no need.”
He had to leave at six in the morning, and the man already worked hard enough; he didn’t want to make him wake up early.
He Jing, however, spoke warmly, “Wait for me.”
As expected, he came to pick him up the next day, accompanying him to the highway entrance and bidding him farewell.
Ye Ting wasn’t particularly sentimental about it. After all, they had already met each other’s parents, the relationship was established, and the next time he returned, the engagement date would probably be set. He and He Jing would soon become engaged, and he was eagerly looking forward to it.
Unfortunately, he thought they would meet again soon. However, when he arrived at the film set, the production team informed him that they would be heading to the mountains for an outdoor shoot.
