Lu Qi's unreasonable behavior made Leng Ziyue, who was already irritated, all the more annoyed.
As a result, when Lu Qi ran out of the concert hall in tears, Leng Ziyue didn't chase after her. He merely sat quietly in his seat and watched the woman sing on the stage.
The more he watched, the more he couldn't help but agitatedly ruffle his hair.
Finally, he laughed bitterly and shook his head. This was really ridiculous. Now he finally understood that he had long let Tang Guo into his heart.
When the concert ended, Leng Ziyue could no longer control himself and went to look for Tang Guo.
"What are you doing here?" The one who asked this question was Leng Rui.
Leng Ziyue was always fearful when facing Leng Rui.
From the day Leng Rui had picked him up from the doorstep of the orphanage, he had always been deeply fearful of him.
"Father."
Not daring to lay eyes on Tang Guo, Leng Ziyue said, "I… I just came to take a look." He sneaked a glance at Tang Guo, who was removing her makeup. From where he stood, he could only see the fair skin of the nape of her neck.
"You came at the right time."
Seeming to remember something, Leng Rui smiled. He brought Tang Guo, who was done removing her makeup, over and pulled her to stand right in front of Leng Ziyue.
"She will be your mother from now on."
She will be your mother from now on?!!
Will be your mother from now on!
Be your mother from now on!
Be your mother!
Your mother!
...
Leng Ziyue felt thunderstruck. His eyes widened, and his body grew limp, causing him to almost fall flat onto the floor.
Leng Rui saw Leng Ziyue's frozen look and took a drag from his cigarette. Then he asked, "What, you have something to say?"
"No… Nothing…"
He had something major to say.
As he watched Leng Rui embrace Tang Guo, Leng Ziyue finally broke down. This woman should have been his.
Getting him to call her "mother" was definitely something he would not agree to.
Leng Ziyue seemed to have come to a decision, as he said loudly, "I don't agree."
"Not bad. You know how to retort and dare to show your temper more openly now." Leng Ziyue stubbed out his cigarette and comfortably leaned to one side, seemingly at ease, then said, "However, your objection is overruled."
Leng Ziyue looked at Tang Guo. There was so much he wanted to tell her, but on second thought, he held himself back. Tang Guo's eyes were curved, as though they were smiling as well. Then in a sweet voice, she said, "If Ziyue doesn't want to call me Mother, he can call me Auntie Guo."
System: [Pfft…]
Leng Rui heard what Tang Guo said and was very happy. Nodding his head, he said, "Hmm, you can call her Auntie Guo then. After all, we're not married yet. Calling her Mother does make her seem kind of old."
Leng Ziyue stared at the adulterous couple in front of him and almost pounced on them to bite their heads off.
Impossible!
There was no way he would call Tang Guo his mother, let alone Auntie Guo.
She was supposed to be his woman!
Perhaps it was because he had been subjected to too many shocks that day that Leng Ziyue suddenly laughed out loud. Then, he gave Tang Guo a long, deep look.
"Father, there is one thing that Tang Guo hasn't told you, right?" At this moment, Leng Ziyue was entertaining a crazy thought in his mind. Since he couldn't have her, no one else could have her either.
Not even if this person was his father, the one who had helped him break free from the abyss of the orphanage.
But he didn't feel like the other party was pitying him. Instead, Leng Rui was looking at him as if he were a pitiful little puppy.
Leng Ziyue's mouth curled into a triumphant smile as he said, "Has she ever told you about our past relationship?"
After saying this, Leng Ziyue saw that Leng Rui's eyes had turned cold. It was just as he had expected, and he was very pleased by it.
"We used to be boyfriend and girlfriend," said Leng Ziyue. He laughed, even happier than before, and said, "Father, this is something that you would have never thought of, right? She used to be my woman, and now you want to be with her, and even want me to call her mother. If word of this gets out, don't you think it'll sound completely absurd?
"The most important thing, Father, is that you're a major germophobe, aren't you? Would you want a woman that your son once used?"
System: [The male lead has also fallen apart. Host, are you satisfied?]
