MMH Chapter 39

These friends, who considered themselves children of prestigious families, maintained good manners when dealing with people, and appeared approachable. However, underneath the surface, they exuded an air of arrogance and aloofness.

Yet, they all accepted Wen Yan.

Therefore, the young man he had set his sights on turned out to be even more exceptional than he had imagined.

Wen Xueli smiled faintly, leading the person to sit in the living room, pinching the young man’s face and saying, “Yan Yan, why are you so likable?”

Wen Yan scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Wen Xueli chuckled and kissed the corner of his mouth, saying, “Impressive! I’ve only been away for a short time, and you’ve won two million.”

Wen Yan earnestly explained, “I just observed their habits, counted the cards… and they probably let me win…” Here, he nudged the man’s shoulder and added, “So, Uncle is the most impressive.”

If it weren’t for the man’s face, these people wouldn’t repeatedly let him win.

The smile at the corner of Wen Xueli’s lips deepened.

Even when praising someone, he did so with a serious demeanor. The young man in front of him was so cute that he couldn’t resist teasing him.

He lifted the young man’s chin and playfully bit down, teasing the young man harshly.

Wen Yan felt a bit shy. The door inside was not closed, and if those friends looked outside, they would see them kissing.

Wen Xueli sensed his distraction, kissed his ear, and chuckled, “They dare not look.”

“Oh…” Wen Yan’s cheeks flushed. He took the initiative to hug the man’s neck and returned the kiss.

This unrestrained passion caused the man’s breath to intensify.

The next moment, the man bit down on his lips.

After a good while, the two finally stopped, embracing each other to calm their emotions.

Wen Yan nestled in the man’s arms and spoke to him about the words Wen Xueyi had said.

Wen Xueli listened quietly and nonchalantly remarked, “It’s not a big deal; don’t worry about it.”

However, Wen Yan always felt uneasy about the man breaking ties with the family for him.

He looked up at the man, “Is it because of me?”

Wen Xueli lowered his head to meet his gaze, touched his face, and shook his head with a smile, “No.”

Wen Yan displayed a skeptical expression, indicating that he thought the man was lying.

The man chuckled lightly, kissing his forehead, “Even without you, I would still have conflicts with the elders in the family.”

Wen Yan was slightly stunned.

The man explained further, “There are many ideological differences between me and the family elders. They always question some significant decisions made by the company.”

So, that’s the case?

Therefore, the man and the family had long-standing differences, and he was just a breaking point?

Wen Xueli pinched his ear and said, “Just a game. If I win, I can do things without hesitation in the future. If I lose, I’ll step down from that position. Doing things for oneself is always easier.”

Wen Yan hesitated, “But you promised your grandfather…”

He was afraid that the man would feel guilty and regret later.

Wen Xueli smiled, “Grandfather won’t blame me.”

After a moment of contemplation, Wen Yan didn’t say anything more.

He believed that the man could handle these matters.

In his heart, the man was capable of anything, and regarding the conflicts with the family, the man seemed confident and his worries appeared somewhat unnecessary.

Nuzzling into the man’s neck, he said, “I just feel a bit guilty…”

After all, he was the catalyst.

Wen Xueli smiled, kissing his forehead, “Afraid others will call you a jinx?”

Wen Yan was slightly surprised. The man had guessed his thoughts in an instant…

He buried his face in the man’s chest, remaining silent.

Wen Xueli chuckled softly, “You’re not a jinx; you’re my little boyfriend.”

His voice was low and sexy, making Wen Yan’s heart tremble.

He couldn’t resist the man’s charm, feeling both sweet and shy. He changed the topic, saying, “Your cousin also mentioned the issue of children… Do you want children?”

The man didn’t answer him directly but spoke seriously, “He is also your cousin.”

Wen Yan was momentarily puzzled.

Wen Xueli pinched his face, “Remember to call him your cousin in the future. I told him that during family and friend gatherings, you can use your name, but in front of outsiders, you are still called the elder sister-in-law.”

Wasn’t this an effort to help him integrate into his circle?

Wen Yan naturally felt touched, hugging the man’s waist and gently agreeing.

Only then did the man respond to the previous question, “Having you is enough for me.”

The young man was more than ten years younger than him; wasn’t he like his child?

He smiled and glanced at the young man, “We also have a little rascal, did you forget?”

Wen Yan knew he was referring to the little puppy at home and couldn’t help but smile.

Wen Xueli touched his face and said softly, “In the future, if you want children, how about we adopt one?”

Wen Yan had never thought about the issue of children before. He was still young, and now that he was sure he liked Wen Xueli, who was a man, he assumed they wouldn’t have children in the future.

He hadn’t expected Wen Xueli to suggest adoption.

Adopting one wouldn’t be bad; he would give the child the utmost care. He believed Wen Xueli would be a good dad too.

He nodded, “Okay.”

The two reached a consensus on this matter.

Wen Xueli embraced him, his eyes deep and mysterious.

He, somewhat selfishly, deprived the young man of the right to leave behind descendants, yet the young man didn’t utter a single question.

How could he not love such an obedient child?

In reality, Wen Yan hadn’t thought that much about it. Growing up with his grandparents and never having met his parents, he didn’t attach much importance to the idea of having children.

For him, learning about his man’s hidden feelings was the focal point.

He had never expected that the man had concealed his emotions so deeply. If Wen Xueyi hadn’t revealed it to him, he might not have known that the man had long planned their future.

Yet, even after he found out, the man remained calm and composed.

The man’s attitude clearly indicated that he intended to live his life with him. It might not be grand and spectacular, but it assured him.

Feeling extremely happy, he was about to say something when he received a message from Ye Ting.

Ye Ting’s message: 【Xiao Yanzi, I heard you’re at Taosha. Come to room 1818, bring your man!】

Wen Yan: “…”

Even Xiao Ting was here?

He showed the message to Wen Xueli.

The man ruffled his hair and said, “Let’s go meet them.”

He called Wen Xueyi and Tang Ji over, instructing them to entertain the guests.

Later, the two of them headed to room 1818 at the other end of the corridor, where, besides Ye Ting and He Jing, a few more people were present.

Wen Yan hardly knew any of these people. On the other hand, Wen Xueli recognized them as scions of prominent families in Haicheng, such as Zhou Nianyuan and Gu Jingchen; their families were quite influential.

He hadn’t expected that a small gathering would bring together so many scions of Haicheng’s elite families.

Ye Ting ran over, grabbed Wen Yan’s hand, and said, “Come on, let me introduce you.”

As they went around, Wen Xueli noticed that besides He Jing and Ye Ting, Zhou Nianyuan and Guan Pan, the others seemed to be in pairs. Adding him and Wen Yan into the mix…

Was this a couples’ gathering?

After introductions, Ye Ting took Wen Yan aside to chat, leaving Wen Xueli to converse with He Jing and the others.

Ye Ting, with a sly smile, said, “Jing-ge asked me to invite you guys. He said Young Master Wen is a friend worth making, and you’re my good friend too. We should meet up more often and stay in touch.”

Wen Yan, not unfamiliar with social niceties, immediately grasped the underlying message: He Jing and Ye Ting were helping them integrate into the social circles of Haicheng.

Now that Wen’s family was involved in a project in Haicheng and becoming acquainted with local elite families was advantageous, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity.

He quickly expressed his gratitude to Ye Ting.

Ye Ting waved his hand grandly, saying, “If your man ever does something wrong, I can also pass on the news to you. Hmph, I have many informants.”

Wen Yan couldn’t help but smile wryly.

He had great faith in Wen Xueli. The man was a true gentleman, consistent in his actions; he couldn’t possibly do anything wrong.

But he appreciated the sentiments of his friend.

Pointing at Xu Zhou, who was conversing with Guan Pan on the side, Ye Ting said, “That’s Brother Xu Zhou. Today, we’re here at Brother Chen’s request to cheer him on. He’s planning to propose to Brother Xu Zhou.”

… A proposal?

How romantic.

Wen Yan suddenly remembered that Wen Xueli had mentioned getting engaged during the winter break.

Would Wen Xueli also propose to him when the time came?

He felt a sudden sense of anticipation.

Before long, the lights in the private room went off, and sure enough, Gu Jingchen began his proposal to Xu Zhou.

Unfortunately, Xu Zhou ultimately declined.

While others seemed unfazed, Wen Yan was genuinely shocked.

Was this a failure?

Observing Gu Jingchen’s expression, it didn’t seem like he was heartbroken.

As for Xu Zhou, his demeanor remained indifferent, revealing no joy or anger.

Wen Yan thought to himself that if Wen Xueli proposed to him, he would undoubtedly be thrilled and readily accept…

Just as he was contemplating this, Wen Xueli silently approached him, whispering in his ear, “What are you thinking about?”

Thinking it was Ye Ting, Wen Yan shared his thoughts, “I was thinking that if Uncle proposed to me, I would definitely be happy.”

“Is that so?” Wen Xueli nibbled on his earlobe. “Baby, so you’re eager to marry me?”

Wen Yan: “…”
