Chapter 105 The Cunning Old Dog Gu
By the time they returned from the old city district, it was almost six o’clock in the evening. To thank Gu Fei for taking care of their youngest son, Mr. and Mrs. An enthusiastically invited Gu Fei to dinner.
It was hard to refuse such kindness, so Gu Fei naturally agreed.
After all, they were his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
An Yu watched Gu Fei chatting with his parents, Lin Qingyan always by his side, then glanced at his older brother walking behind. If looks could kill, Gu Fei would be dead.
He leaned over to An Jing and whispered, “Once Mom and Dad know the truth, they’ll probably be just like you. They’ll probably want to kill Gu Fei.”
An Jing coldly snorted, “I think Mom and Dad actually like him quite a bit.” He could see that Gu Fei was deliberately trying to get close to his parents; he hadn’t seen Gu Fei get along with his parents this well before.
Tsk… he hadn’t noticed Gu Fei’s scheming nature before.
An Yu looked at the backs of Gu Fei and his younger brother, also clicking his tongue. “Brother, look how well-matched they are together.”
He gently stroked his chin, saying earnestly, “Seriously, Gu Fei is really good to YanYan. If it weren’t for him, YanYan would still be suffering in the Lin family.”
“You little brat, you’re siding with him.” An Jing’s mouth twitched. He muttered softly, “…Do you think I don’t understand that?”
Dinner was at a famous five-star hotel in Nancheng. The private room was upscale and elegant, and the dishes were so exquisite that it was hard to bring oneself to touch them with chopsticks.
Of course, Lin Qingyan, with his injured right hand, couldn’t use chopsticks. At home, Gu Fei would feed him. Mr. Gu’s daily pleasure was feeding Lin Qingyan.
Of course, there was also bathing Lin Qingyan every night, then taking the opportunity to do some “bad things.” However, Mr. Gu’s intentions were seen through by Lin Qingyan, who strictly forbade Gu Fei from setting foot in the bathroom while he was showering.
Seeing the pitiful sight of the boy, blushing and almost crying, Mr. Gu could only nod in agreement.
“Gu Fei, eat more. Don’t be polite.”
“Come, Uncle will toast you.” An Lingkang happily poured red wine into Gu Fei’s glass. He had always admired this young man, whose achievements in the business world were remarkable at such a young age.
Gu Fei raised his glass, politely nodding slightly to An Lingkang. “Thank you, Uncle. I’ll drink first.” He then tilted his head and drank the wine in one gulp, his posture calm and noble.
An Lingkang was even happier. He patted Gu Fei’s shoulder, laughing heartily. “Well done! It’s a pity I don’t have a daughter; otherwise, you’d be my son-in-law.”
As soon as he said this, Lin Qingyan, who was drinking orange juice, almost choked. An Jing and An Yu paused their eating, exchanging knowing glances.
Dad, even if you don’t have a daughter, you’re going to be my father-in-law anyway.
An Yu thought.
Gu Fei remained calm, glancing at the young man beside him, whose expression was slightly unnatural. A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. He refilled An Lingkang’s glass, saying, “There will be opportunities.”
An Lingkang didn’t think much of it, laughing even harder. “Come, let’s continue drinking!”
Song Shuman glared at her husband. “You should drink less.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll listen to my wife.”
Gu Fei wasn’t insane enough to feed Lin Qingyan in front of everyone, but he picked up the public chopsticks, picked some of the dishes Lin Qingyan liked, and put them in his bowl, saying softly, “Eat more.”
The young man obediently replied, “Mm, thank you, Ge Fei.”
Their interaction wasn’t intimate; it was more like an elder caring for a younger person. People who didn’t know the truth wouldn’t think anything of it; after all, they were both male.
But those who knew the truth…
Every glance, every action, every word, was filled with intimacy and love, almost blinding.
An Jing held his chopsticks and forcefully poked a piece of meat in his bowl, as if it were Gu Fei, then smiled pleasantly, picking a piece of fish and putting it in his younger brother’s bowl. “YanYan, eat more.”
Lin Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then politely smiled, “Mm, thank you, Big Brother.”
An Jing proudly raised an eyebrow at Gu Fei, who maintained his expressionless, cold face, suddenly saying to Lin QingYan, “YanYan, even if you don’t like fish, you can’t be a picky eater.”
His voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough for An Jing to hear.
An Jing: “…”
Damn it!
That cunning old dog Gu was definitely doing it on purpose!
He could only smile awkwardly, “YanYan, Big Brother didn’t know your preferences. If you don’t like it, then don’t eat it. Tell me what you like, and I’ll get it for you.”
Lin QingYan: “…”
What were these two suddenly doing?
“No, I like fish,” Lin QingYan squeezed out a smile and ate the fish in his bowl.
The dishes here were expensive for a reason; they were delicious. Although Lin QingYan didn’t like fish, this fish wasn’t inedible. “Mm, it’s delicious.”
He could tell that the atmosphere between Gu Fei and An Jing was very unfriendly, and he was the cause.
He put down his spoon, secretly holding the man’s hand under the table, giving him a look, signaling him to stop.
Unexpectedly, the man took the initiative, holding his hand and refusing to let go. His family was here, and Lin QingYan became anxious, giving him a pleading look. Gu Fei smirked before finally letting go.
Tsk… what a drama.
An Yu watched the show with great interest.
“What are you all staring at? Eat your food.” It was An Lingkang, completely oblivious, smiling at Lin QingYan. “YanYan, eat more. If you like something, tell Dad, and Dad will get it for you.”
Song Shuman added, “Yes, YanYan, eat more. This poached chicken is very tender. Mom will get it for you.”
“…” Lin QingYan: “Mm, thank you, Mom.”
The overwhelming love was too much for him to bear. His bowl was almost full. He could only eat in silence. It was indeed delicious.
After a while, An Jing stood up with the wine bottle, across from Lin QingYan. He poured wine for Gu Fei, his face filled with sincere affection. “Good brother, thank you for helping us take care of YanYan. I’ll toast you.”
“It’s my pleasure.” Gu Fei didn’t refuse, directly raising his glass and drinking it down.
An Jing wasn’t to be outdone, pouring more wine for Gu Fei after finishing his drink. “Okay, let’s do it again!”
Gu Fei: “Okay.”
Like that, one glass after another, red and white mixed, they were secretly competing, for reasons no one seemed to understand.
The others present: “…”
In the end, both of them got drunk.
Gu Fei, even when drunk, remained silent as usual, but his handsome face was flushed, his eyes a little hazy. He drunkenly propped his head up and raised his glass to his mouth.
“Ge Fei, don’t drink anymore.” Lin QingYan couldn’t bear to watch. He took the glass from his hand. An Jing, on the other side, was slurring, “Drink, keep drinking!”
“…” Lin QingYan twitched his mouth, turning to take the glass from An Jing’s hand, helplessly looking at his older brother, who was already leaning on the table. “Big Brother, you shouldn’t drink anymore either.”
Clearly, An Jing was even more drunk.
Gu Fei glanced at his friend and silently curled his lips. He had won.
…
When everyone came out of the hotel, it was already dark outside. The sky was dyed a deep blue, and the neon lights of the night were more lively and boisterous than during the day.
An Lingkang supported An Jing, and An Yu helped Gu Fei into the car, panting slightly. “FeiFei, this is the first time I’ve seen you so childish. Why are you competing with my brother?”
Gu Fei leaned against the seat back, closing his eyes uncomfortably. Hearing this, he half-opened his eyelids and glanced at An Yu, cold light flashing in his eyes. His lips slightly parted, his tone heavy, “What did you call me?”
Even when drunk, Mr. Gu’s aura was undiminished. An Yu put his hand to his mouth and made a zipping motion. “Mr. Gu, you’re my great uncle. Please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against me.”
Gu Fei condescendingly hummed in agreement.
An Yu: “…”
If this continued, he would switch sides and stand with his brother. Is this how you treat your future brother-in-law?! FeiFei!
After saying goodbye to everyone, Lin Qingyan got into the car, sitting next to Gu Fei. The driver drove, the street scenes outside flashing by. He turned his gaze to the man’s face.
Gu Fei had closed his eyes, his deep brows slightly furrowed, his lips pursed. He must have been feeling unwell from drinking too much.
Seeing the man like this, Lin Qingyan couldn’t help but poke his cheek with his index finger, tentatively calling out, “FeiFei?” He had heard Second Brother call him that, FeiFei? It was too contrasting when used for Gu Fei.
“Mm.” Unexpectedly, Gu Fei actually responded, taking the young man’s finger, which was about to retract, and pressing it to his lips, kissing it. His deep black eyes were open, a little hazy, his voice hoarse. “What?”
If An Yu were here, he would definitely scold him for being a double-standard dog. Apparently, it’s okay to call him FeiFei, just depending on who’s calling!
“No…” The young man’s face was a little shy. He quickly withdrew his hand, then anxiously reminded, “Ge Fei, you can’t drink that much alcohol in the future; it’s bad for your health.”
Gu Fei nodded. “Mm, I’ll listen to YanYan.”
Lin QingYan: “Then close your eyes and rest for a while.”
“Mm.” Gu Fei rested his head on the young man’s shoulder and closed his eyes.
“…” Lin QingYan’s body stiffened for a moment. He looked down at the head resting on his shoulder, his beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with a gentle and joyful smile.
The night outside was soft and hazy, the neon lights reflected in the young man’s eyes, exceptionally bright and radiant. There was one thing he hadn’t told Gu Fei.
While he was still drunk, Lin QingYan lowered his head, his soft lips almost touching the man’s face. He whispered,
“Gu Fei, I love you too.”
So cute :3 😍😍😭
