Sparkles emerged in Xue Lan’s eyes, who was in a trance and was thinking of saying goodbye to Mr. Duan —
If Duan Wenzheng’s dad had a good impression of Wen Yan, then maybe he would approve and support their relationship in the future?
With this thought, he instantly forgot to hide his timidity in front of Mr. Duan. “Wind also took care of us really well when we were in the training camp!”
“Then I can relax when you join them.” Mr. Duan nodded his head after hearing that. He added, “When you’ve joined them, you have to get along with everyone. Calm that temper of yours! If it’s not important, don’t…”
“If there’s nothing important, you can rest up early. We’ll head out first.” Duan Wenzheng grasped the child toward the front door and casually urged, “Drink less, and stop paying attention to those boring news that reports just about anything to attract views.”
“You!” Mr. Duan was so angry his teeth itched but remembering Xue Lan who wanted to leave, he stood up. “You want to go now? It’s not easy for Lan Lan to come. Why not stay over for a few days?”
The flush had not disappeared from Xue Lan’s face. Thinking of the earlier predicament, how could he continue staying at Duan Wenzheng’s house? He waved his hand. “I won’t disturb you anymore. Thank you for your hospitality today. I’ll get going, Uncle Duan. Goodbye!!”
He then quickly walked out the door in embarrassment.
When Xue Lan was out, he realized Duan Wenzheng also followed him out.
“Why did you come out? Go back.” Xue Lan pushed him. “Once you join LGW, you won’t have a lot of time to come home.”
But Duan Wenzheng paid him no mind. “Did you forget that I was driven out? Isn’t it only thanks to you that I could come back?”
Xue Lan shook his head. He said in earnest, “Actually, I can tell that you care a lot for each other. After you join the team you won’t have time to come back, but why not accompany him while you still can?”
“Sometimes I really admire the old man.” Duan Wenzheng put away his lax expression and looked at the person in front of him with rapt attention. “Admire him to have such a sensible daughter-in-law.”
“…” Xue Lan looked at his earnest expression. He’d thought he would hear some respectable words, but in the end, he only had his hopes up.
But remembering what had happened in the kitchen, although the night wind had blown past his cheeks, now they were flushed red again.
He was really too much.
Even though in the original work, Duan Wenzheng also often used his loose tongue to attract Wen Yan’s attention, saying excessive things to the other, which formed a love-hate relationship between them and he walked on the path of pursuing the husband as the shou…
Xue Lan also paid no mind to his unwitting remarks.
But this time, he felt like he was being improper.
Although he and Duan Wenzheng were good buddies and he cooperated to act as his girlfriend, Xue Lan felt kissing the cheek was…
Xue Lan lowered his eyes for a while before looking up with a serious expression. “Reset, Uncle Duan is a really good individual. I want to help alleviate your relationship, but this doesn’t feel right. Lying is bad. Even if you have good intentions, the deceived person will end up getting hurt.
“So, this is my last time helping you lie to Uncle Duan.” Thinking about how he agreed to help Duan Wenzheng several more times, but now he was backing out, Xue Lan lowered his head with guilt and firmly said, “But I hope this time you can properly talk with Uncle Duan and untie the knot in your heart, is that okay?”
He nervously waited for Duan Wenzheng’s response and he started to become afraid that he would be soft-hearted if Duan Wenzheng asked for help again.
But unexpectedly, Duan Wenzheng stretched out his hand and lightly tousled his hair.
“Okay.”
Xue Lan looked up in surprise.
“I never wanted you to do things you’re unwilling to, so if there’s anything you don’t like, just tell me.”
The shocked expression of the child before him was cute, and Duan Wenzheng couldn’t help ruffling his head a couple more times.
Only then did Xue Lan return to his senses and protect his hair.
“Then next time don’t tease others as you like. This isn’t good. Even if you currently don’t have a… b-boyfriend, once you have one, he’ll be hurt.”
Xue Lan thought he was like a three-year-old child, teasing others to provoke Wen Yan. He wanted to knock his head to make him less childish.
But he also felt, with Duan Wenzheng’s manner, even if he had warned him with good intentions, he was afraid it would go in one ear and out the other.
So when Xue Lan saw that Duan Wenzheng didn’t give any response, he felt as if he had indeed said something unnecessary.
“You can think as if I didn’t say anything.” Xue Lan turned around. “I’m going home, you don’t have to follow.”
“I won’t do that.”
But just as he turned, the person behind him seized him again.
“You’re right, I won’t tease others as I please…”
The faint light in the night caught a gentleness in Duan Wenzheng’s eyes as they gazed at the child—
“You have to supervise me.”
