Chapter 127: If you don’t marry, you break off the relationship between father and son.
Chapter 127
Xiao Chen took out his phone again and saw the message his dad had sent:
【Son, I wanted to tell you last time, don't just focus on your relationship, if you and Yu Na are getting along very well, you should start thinking about marriage.】
【Dad doesn't mean to rush you, just giving you a suggestion. If you two feel like you need more time together, I support that too.】
The corners of Xiao Chen's lips curved up slightly as he put away his phone.
Yu Na noticed his change of expression. "What are you smiling about?"
Xiao Chen came back to his senses and unhesitatingly sold out his dad, "My dad is forcing us to get married."
Yu Na: "What..."
Xiao Chen continued nonchalantly, "He said if we don't get married soon, he'll disown me."
"Really..." Yu Na said hesitantly.
Xiao Chen's tone and expression were nothing but sincere. "Yeah, you know they've been rushing me for a while, didn't they try to set me up all the time before?"
What he said made sense.
Xiao Chen was at the age to marry too, it was understandable his family wanted him to settle down.
As for Yu Na's parents, they wouldn't object either. Her father had always wanted Yu Na to marry into a prestigious family, he didn't care who, as long as it didn't lower their family's status.
That was why when Yuna's father first heard about Xiao Chen's background, he didn't try to stop them anymore or send people to keep an eye on her.
If both sides of parents agreed, but Yu Na had some hesitation. She stammered, "I'm...tutoring high school seniors right now, so...I'm pretty busy."
The subtext was obvious, she didn't want to get married now, since she was too busy with work to make time for it.
Surely Xiao Chen would understand.
But she had guessed wrong. As soon as she said it, Xiao Chen's expression changed.
The arrogant rich playboy from just now had turned into a destitute child abandoned on the streets that no one wanted.
"...Yu Na became a bit flustered, grabbed his hand, "Are you upset?"
"No." Xiao Chen nonchalantly pulled his hand back. "You're only 25, I understand."
"It's not because of that, mainly because I'm too busy now."
Age was not something she cared about. She had started dating various rich second generations since her early teens because her dad had forced her.
"I know." His expression was calm on the surface.
No, this was clearly something she was being reasonable about, why did she feel like she had really said something wrong!
There were only the two of them in the office now, no surveillance cameras or anything. Yu Na moved closer to him and said earnestly, "Xiao Chen, I do want to marry you, really."
Xiao Chen: "Okay."
"..."
Yu Na thought he was really upset now. She got up and stood between his legs, hugged him and gently stroked his hair. "Don't be upset, I just said senior year in high school is too—"
She was speaking when her arm was suddenly gripped by an irresistible force.
The next second, she fell onto Xiao Chen's lap.
Xiao Chen held her tightly in place on his lap so she couldn't move. He put his arms around her waist, buried his head in her softness, and nuzzled around like a puppy.
He was helpless and loved her so much at the same time. Holding her, he said, "My silly wife, how can it be so easy to trick you, hmm?"
"............"
Yu Na put on an act and said, "So that's basically Qiao Rui's situation, do you have any other questions?"
"I have one more question—" Xiao Chen sat next to Yu Na and asked deliberately, "Can I come to you anytime if I have questions?"
"..." Yu Na glared at him, then squeezed out a smile. "Yes you can."
"Don't think I'm being annoying," Xiao Chen cleared his throat with a cough. "It's mainly because my unfortunate little brother is really hard to manage. So I hope that in his last year of high school, you can join me in taking good care of him."
He deliberately emphasized the words "join me".
Yu Na said through gritted teeth, "No problem."
Xiao Chen decided to stop while he was ahead. "Then I'll get going first."
"Okay."
But Xiao Chen wouldn't let her off easy. He took the initiative to say, "Could you walk me out? I have some other questions."
"..."
Help!
Yu Na's eyes were murderous.
Without waiting for her refusal, Xiao Chen said, "Shall we?"
If looks could kill...
The elevator was under maintenance. Yu Na took Xiao Chen down the stairs.
This was the only time of day the high school seniors could openly take a break.
Students filled the entire campus—the corridors, garden, cafeteria, track field, and every road.
Xiao Chen was the last parent to leave.
Dressed in all black with impressive height and graceful posture, he stood out extraordinarily, naturally attracting a lot of looks, especially with Yu Na by his side.
Yet no one dared approach them...
After sending Xiao Chen off, Yu Na breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought to herself, Xiao Chen really can't keep coming to the school. He has zero awareness of his surroundings!
She went to the back door of the classroom without going in. From outside, she could see several students gathered inside the classroom. Gossip was written all over their faces. Sitting in the middle was none other than Hao Lei.
Hao Lei: "I was by the window and saw Qiao Rui's brother intentionally getting close to Teacher Yu!"
Hu Yue: "Ahhhhh! Why didn't you take pictures!"
Hao Lei: "You think I didn't want to? I didn't have my phone!"
Jiang Lin: "Damn! I had mine, should've lent it to you."
"Qiao Rui's brother is so handsome. Remember when we went hiking together last time? He looked like a college student. But today he had that CEO vibe."
"Yeah yeah, that abstinent CEO type. Oh my god I can't handle this!"
The corner of Yu Na's eye twitched as she involuntary recalled what had happened in the office just now.
The abstinent CEO, does he have anything to do with me please ask? Xiao Chen himself saw this appellation and had to say the word preposterous.
The Teddy bear CEO makes a little more sense.
Yu Na came into the classroom from the back door, walked over to them, patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder, and commanded without any emotion: "Cell phone, give it to me."
Jiang Lin: ?
