TL: Hua
Ye Rongxu was only concerned with ending the strange conversation between him and Qin Chaoyan. As soon as he heard some movement outside, he turned his wheelchair and went out.
When he arrived in the living room and saw Ye Boxuan, who appeared a little fatigued, he remembered that his father must be very tired after working overtime all night. He regretted telling him to go to the Qin family to change the engagement at this time.
When the wheelchair arrived in front of Ye Boxuan, he raised his face and said with guilt and concern, “Dad, have you eaten? Did you not sleep all night? Why don’t you have some breakfast first and go to sleep for a while?”
When he heard this, Ye Boxuan smiled. He raised his hand to rub his head, saying, “I ate at the company.”
Then he asked again, “You just said Qin Chaoyan…”
“Ah, don’t worry about that, Dad; you should eat something and go to rest.” Ye Rongxu hurriedly changed his words and pulled his father’s hand, dragging him to the dining room.
Seeing him struggling in the wheelchair to pull him, Ye Boxuan was both amused and relieved. He handed the documents he took home to Lao Yang, held down Ye Rongxu with his free hand, and said, “Don’t move; I’ll push you.”
Then he looked in the direction of the dining room.
Qin Chaoyan stood up and walked from his seat to the entrance. Although he appeared restrained, he stood straight and respectfully called out, “Uncle Ye.”
Ye Boxuan smiled faintly in response, and looked at him for a few seconds before saying, “So you’re here too, Xiao Qin.”
He pushed Ye Rongxu back to the dining room and said to Qin Chaoyan, “Are you eating just now? Come in and eat together.”
Ye Rongxu interrupted, “We haven’t started eating yet.”
Then he also said to Qin Chaoyan, “Qin Chaoyan, come quickly.”
Qin Chaoyan took a deep breath and turned around, tightening his curled fingers.
The three of them sat down at the dining table, waiting for the servants to serve the meal. Ye Boxuan observed Qin Chaoyan again.
Qin Chaoyan obviously sat up a little straighter, his body stiff, and his sitting posture was like a standard measured with a ruler.
Ye Boxuan saw that he was more nervous than the last time they met in the hospital. Back then, Qin Chaoyan’s attitude was also respectful, but more of a humble, silent, and indifferent attitude, as if saying, “I know your status is extraordinary, but it has nothing to do with me.”
This time… he was obviously more nervous, but not deliberately currying favor.
Ye Boxuan was still somewhat satisfied in his heart. After all, if he doesn’t even get nervous when he sees his father-in-law, it means that the other party doesn’t care about his son.
Putting aside other things, Qin Chaoyan himself is actually very good, except for his status. But still, no amount of incompatibility can defeat the phrase “Xuxu likes him.”
Besides, the Ye family has money, so they won’t let Xu Xu suffer. As for the conditions of Xu Xu’s partner, it’s not that important, as long as he treats Xu Xu well.
Thinking of this, Ye Boxuan’s acceptance increased a little, and he raised his hand to signal Qin Chaoyan not to be so nervous.
But when his gaze fell on Qin Chaoyan’s pajamas, his eyes behind the lenses flashed another sharp light, and he asked, “Did Xiao Qin come to the villa to play last night?”
Did he spend the night here? Otherwise, why would he wear pajamas? Could it be with Xuxu…
Ye Boxuan became less and less calm the more he thought about it, and his eyes behind the lenses narrowed slightly.
Ye Rongxu was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he quickly explained: “Dad, Qin Chaoyan fainted near the First Hospital yesterday. I happened to be talking to him on the phone at that time, so I went with Uncle Chen to pick him up and bring him to the villa to rest.”
“So that’s how it is.” Ye Boxuan nodded, his eyebrows slightly relaxed. When he looked at Qin Chaoyan again, he was no longer as vigilant as before, but he asked again: “I just heard Xuxu say that you are willing to get engaged to him. Can I ask why…”
“Hiya, dad, eat quickly.” Ye Rongxu quickly forked a steamed dumpling and put it into Ye Boxuan’s mouth.
He was afraid that Ye Boxuan would ask too much and find out something fishy, and he was afraid that Qin Chaoyan would back down because of this.
Ye Boxuan’s mouth was stuffed with the love dumpling sent by his son, and his expression was helpless.
Qin Chaoyan understood at a glance that the fake engagement was Ye Rongxu’s idea alone, and Ye Boxuan was completely unaware of it.
It’s good this way. At least the Ye family will think they are really engaged.
Qin Chaoyan lowered his eyes, then raised his head again. With a smile in his eyes, he explained seriously: “Hello, uncle, I had a good impression of Xuxu when I was in the hospital last time, and he helped me a lot when we met several times later.”
“And Xuxu recently…maybe he was heartbroken by love—suddenly proposed to get engaged to me. I hesitated and struggled for a long time until he saved me last night. Finally, I confirmed my feelings and decided…”
After his explanation, the story of the two people became: he agreed to get engaged because he was interested in Ye Rongxu.
Ye Rongxu was stunned and almost dropped the fork in his hand.
What’s the matter, brother? Why are you adding drama?
Ye Boxuan also turned around and asked Ye Rongxu, “Is that so?”
Ye Rongxu: “…Ah, yes.”
He nodded quickly. No matter if it was true or not, at least this statement would make it easier for his dad to agree.
After hearing this, Ye Boxuan’s acceptance increased.
It turned out that Qin Chaoyan rejected his Xuxu last time, not because he didn’t like him, but because he liked him but didn’t dare to say it?
No matter if this is true or not, at least Qin Chaoyan has made his attitude clear. Even if he is pretending, he can pretend for a lifetime.
Ye Boxuan nodded and said to Ye Rongxu, “Then I will make a phone call tonight and talk to your grandparents…”
Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Qin Chaoyan, and continued: “I’ll also contact Qin Chaoyan’s grandmother, mention this matter to her first, and then arrange a time to discuss it in detail.”
He only mentioned Qin Chaoyan’s grandmother, the old lady of the Qin family, and didn’t mention Qin Qijiang, which meant that he wanted to bypass Qin Qijiang and directly discuss the matter of changing the marriage contract with the old lady Qin herself.
Ye Rongxu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be better to bypass Qin Qijiang, so that Qin Jingxu would not get the news in advance and bother him.
He hurriedly forked another steamed dumpling to Ye Boxuan, and said attentively, “Dad, eat quickly.”
Seeing him happy as if there was a little tail wagging behind him, Ye Boxuan helplessly lowered his head and bit away at that steamed dumpling.
Qin Chaoyan looked at this scene thoughtfully and recalled how those secretly dating young couples in school usually get along with each other. Suddenly, he also picked up a steamed dumpling and sent it to Ye Rongxu’s lips with a slightly stiff voice: “Xu Xu, you eat too.”
Ye Rongxu: “?”
He instantly widened his eyes and turned to look at Qin Chaoyan as if he had seen a ghost.
What is the big devil doing? Is he offering his courtesy?
Qin Chaoyan’s hand holding up the chopsticks stiffened, trying to recall the look and tone of the young lovers when they were getting along, then tried to relax his facial expression and asked in a gentle tone, “Why don’t you eat it?”
Just then, the maid in charge of serving the meal saw it and hesitantly reminded: “The young master usually eats medicinal food.”
Qin Chaoyan suddenly felt embarrassed when he heard it.
Ye Boxuan also looked up at them.
Seeing this, Ye Rongxu hurriedly opened his mouth and bit off the steamed dumplings, saying vaguely, “I’m tired of eating medicinal food every day. It’s not bad to eat something else occasionally.”
The key is to not let his dad see that he and Qin Chaoyan are putting on a show.
When Ye Boxuan saw this, he thought it was just a couple being affectionate. He laughed and shook his head.
After breakfast, Ye Rongxu hurriedly urged Ye Boxuan to rest, and he called the bodyguard Chen Jiang to send Qin Chaoyan back.
Ye Boxuan watched him leave excitedly with Qin Chaoyan, took off his glasses, pinched his eyebrows, and sighed: “You really can’t control your kids once they grow up.”
After saying that, he put on his glasses again and asked the Butler Lao Yang beside him: “They really didn’t…”
Lao Yang understood and hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, sir; nothing happened. Mr. Qin fainted outside in the rain last night. Chen Jiang carried him back. He and the doctor took care of him. The young master went to bed after ten o’clock.”
After listening to this, Ye Boxuan was completely relieved.
His son was still young and in poor health. Even if he was going to get engaged, he couldn’t be taken advantage of so early.
Alas, the pain of having children is something no one can understand.
He sighed deeply and turned back upstairs to rest.

Ye Rongxu was struggling to fasten his seatbelt after getting in the car.
Qin Chaoyan got in the car from the other side. Seeing him struggling with the seatbelt, his gaze paused for a moment on those thin white fingers, and he leaned over in the next second.
The cool breath suddenly enveloped Ye Rongxu, carrying a sense of oppression. He stiffened, and in the next moment, his fingers were suddenly pressed down.
He felt a warm touch, and his whole body suddenly got goosebumps. Those dream scenes flashed through his mind again, but a “click” sound quickly pulled his thoughts back.
“Okay. ” Qin Chaoyan helped him fasten his seatbelt, his crisp voice ringing in his ears.
Ye Rongxu looked up and was met with his dark eyes.
Qin Caoyan lowered his head, and his deep line of sight was also looking at him.
The frame seemed to be still for a few seconds, until Chen Jiang opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat.
Ye Rongxu suddenly came back to his senses, and Qin Chaoyan quickly sat back in his seat.
“Young Master, where are we going?” Chen Jiang’s voice came from the front seat.
“Ah? Oh.” Ye Rongxu coughed lightly, thought about it, and asked Qin Chaoyan, “Where are you going? Back to school or…”
Qin Chaoyan shook his head and said, “Go to my place.”
Then he reported a place name.
Ye Rongxu was a little surprised: “Not going back to school?”
Qin Chaoyan said in a light tone, “I can’t go back.”
Ye Rongxu was even more surprised and asked, “Why?”
Qin Chaoyan actually pulled up the corner of his mouth and smiled, but the smile was very cold. “I beat up Qin Jingxu yesterday; he won’t back down easily.”
Sure enough, just after he finished speaking, he received a message on his mobile phone, which was sent by the head teacher.
The other party said the school asked him to suspend classes for a week to reflect. There was supposed to be a disciplinary action, but his student record was not here, and it could not be put into the file.
The head teacher knew some of his situation and sympathized with him, but he could not do anything about the school’s decision and could only persuade him not to be discouraged.
“I will help you settle the matter at school. Just take these few days to solve the registration issue. You have good grades and are usually self-disciplined. I believe that you will not fall behind in your studies even if you don’t come to school for seven days. ”
After reading it, Qin Chaoyan had a sarcastic smile in his eyes.
Solve it? How do I solve it? Go to Qin Qijiang or Qin Jingxu?
Ye Rongxu then remembered this matter. He stole a glance at the cell phone, saw the suspension notice, frowned slightly again, and disliked Qin Jingxu one more point.
How about I ask my dad for help and go to school to talk about it?” He hesitated and suggested.
Qin Chaoyan shook his head, turned off the phone, and said, “No need.”
Ye Rongxu knew that the male protagonist had high self-esteem, and when the other party said no, he didn’t mention it again. But in his heart, he decided to go back and ask Ye Boxuan to see if there was any solution.
He turned his head and stole a glance at Qin Chaoyan, and he saw that the other party’s side profile was tense, his eyes were dark, and he looked straight ahead with an unknown thought.
Don’t turn evil.
Ye Rongxu thought secretly, coughed lightly, and decided to enlighten him.
“In fact, there is more to life than the college entrance examination. Academic qualifications are just a stepping stone. What is really useful is your experience and ability. And learning does not necessarily have to be in college. Some people spend four years eating, drinking, and playing in college, but ultimately learn nothing. Some people work hard and struggle in society, but they can also learn a lot.”
Qin Chaoyan turned his head to look at him, as if surprised that he could say such a thing.
Ye Rongxu blushed slightly and explained in a low voice, “My dad told me.”
It was mostly used to coax him, who couldn’t go to school all year round.
“Of course, if you can, it’s better to go to college. But I think you’re already excellent. Even if you can’t go to college, relying on self-study, you’re definitely not worse than those who went to college.” Ye Rongxu added.
Qin Chaoyan was slightly stunned, and murmured after a while, “Am I that excellent?”
Ye Rongxu: “…” You will torment me to death in the future; how can you not be excellent…Ah, no, I mean that you will be able to call the wind and rain in Jiangcheng in the future. How can you not be excellent?
Qin Chaoyan didn’t know his true thoughts. Hearing this, he pursed his lips, his eyes moved slightly, and he whispered after a long time, “Thank you.”
No one has ever affirmed him in such an amazed tone.
Seeing that he seemed to have recovered from the blow, Ye Rongxu’s eyes turned, and he suddenly hooked his finger towards him again.
Qin Chaoyan hesitated and moved sideways.
Ye Rongxu approached his ear and whispered, “You didn’t agree to the engagement before, so I didn’t tell you that the marriage contract between the two families was actually accompanied by an equity agreement. After the marriage contract is established, my father will give 5% of the Ye family’s equity to me, and the Qin family will also take out 5% of the Qin family’s equity to the Qin family’s betrothed. After the marriage is actually finalized, the equity will be gifted to each other at a rate of 2.5% to ensure that the two families are truly united.”
Of course, Ye Rongxu owns far more than 5% of the Ye family’s shares, but only this 5% will be mentioned in the contract and half will be given to his partner after the marriage.
“So after my fiancée changes to you, the 5% shares that the Qin family gave to Qin Jingxu before must also be transferred to you. This is written in the agreement. My father will definitely talk to the Qin family about this matter.
“You have the right to participate in decision-making when you have equity. Didn’t Qin Jingxu not want you to take the college entrance exam and go to college? You can just go straight to the Qin company and “learn.” After two years, you may even be able to control the Qin Company, while Qin Jingxu has only graduated from college.”
Qin Chaoyan was surprised when he heard this.
Ye Rongxu blinked at him: “That’s why I said you would not suffer any loss if you got engaged to me.”
