Seeing his own mother and father run over, Feng Yuan’s face darkened. His first reaction was to block in front of Gong Ze. His heart felt like it had fallen into an abyss. In a deep voice he said: “Mom, Dad, hiding it from you was my fault, but who I’m with is my freedom. It has nothing to do with Gong Ze’s s—”
Before he could finish, Mama Feng shoved him aside. “Who cares about you? Don’t block my view of my son-in-law and grandson.”
Papa Feng nodded while squeezing inward: “Exactly, exactly.”
Not a bit of situational awareness.
In the way.
Feng Yuan: …
W-what?
Feng Yuan’s eyes widened. He watched in shock as his parents surrounded the small cart, speaking to Panpan with faces full of loving kindness. His arm, still maintaining the posture of blocking in front of Gong Ze, froze. “What’s going on…”
His parents had not come for him and Gong Ze?
Gong Ze was behind Feng Yuan. Seeing the Feng couple carefully questioning Panpan, he narrowed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then said in disbelief: “They wouldn’t think Panpan is the child Feng Yuan secretly gave birth to, would they?”
System, you’re so big: [Is that even a question? They definitely misunderstood…]
Just as Gong Ze and Feng Yuan were stunned, Mama Feng and Papa Feng had already begun bonding with their ‘good eldest grandson.’
Mama Feng bent at the waist, her voice incomparably gentle. Looking at the thin, small cub, her heart ached.
How could this child be so thin? When Feng Yuan was little, he grew tall and strong. That stinky brat Feng Yuan! Did he even know how to raise a child? Look how hungry he had made her eldest grandson!
Papa Feng: You think our son knows how to raise a baby? Absolutely not!
Mama Feng’s heart ached: My good grandson, you’ve suffered.
“Baby, what’s your name? What are your daddy and mommy called?”
“Wife, don’t ask useless things. What’s important now is figuring out the child’s age… cough cough, little friend, do you know how old you are?”
Panpan kept shrinking back, staring at the two unfamiliar adults, his eyes wide and round with vigilance, while his small hand kept reaching backward to grab Daddy’s clothes.
Afraid the cub would be scared, Gong Ze reached out and picked him up.
“Daddy.”
“It’s fine, don’t be afraid.”
Patting the cub’s back, Gong Ze pretended not to know who they were and asked: “May I ask who you two are…”
The Feng couple’s gazes followed the child and landed on Gong Ze. Seeing the confusion on Gong Ze’s face, they finally came back to their senses from their joy. They gave a dry cough and straightened their postures.
Mama Feng showed a smile, elegantly took her husband’s arm, and said softly to Gong Ze: “Hello. I’m Feng Yuan’s mother. This is my husband, Feng Yuan’s father.”
Papa Feng put on a stern face, trying hard to act like a dignified family patriarch. “Hello.”
“You’re Feng Yuan’s parents…” The Alpha was stunned upon hearing this.
The Feng couple nodded: “That’s right.”
Gong Ze: …
His face paled slightly. The arm holding the child tightened.
They had been discovered.
He thought.
Why were Feng Yuan’s parents here?
Had they come specifically to see him?
The timid Alpha’s ears rang with buzzing, as if he had lost the ability to think, not knowing how to handle the awkwardness at this moment.
He opened his mouth, his mind blank, feeling the same constraint as when meeting the parents of a ‘beautiful rich girlfriend.’
But his thoughts were also like a tangled ball of yarn—unable to find the thread, messy and chaotic.
At the same time, a thought that made him afraid and fearful occupied all of Gong Ze, soaking his whole body in ice water until he lost warmth, his heart heavily plummeting downward.
With one hand holding the child and the other trembling as he grabbed Feng Yuan’s arm.
His pupils, filled with terror, fixed on him.
“Feng Yuan…”
Gong Ze had always known the gap between him and Feng Yuan. At the beginning, in order to gather medical fees for the child, he had muddleheadedly been kept by Feng Yuan. Later they argued and made up, separated and reunited.
Because he had sunk deeper into love, he could not leave more and more.
Even if the bones were broken and it hurt to death, the tendons and blood vessels still had to stay connected without breaking.
But Feng Yuan was different from him. He and Feng Yuan’s education level, the world in their eyes, family background, and such things simply could not compare.
Although Feng Yuan had a bad temper, apart from that, would such a cute Omega as Feng Yuan stay with him for life—an Alpha who was divorced and had a child?
Would Feng Yuan’s parents agree to them being together?
Afraid that this visit from Feng Yuan’s parents meant the end between him and Feng Yuan, Gong Ze only felt cold, as if his blood had congealed and drained away. He pressed his lips tightly together, breathing rapidly, clutching his lover’s hand, his eyes full of pleading for help.
Feng Yuan felt his arm being grabbed. The fair hand clutching him was clenched so hard it had gone white, trembling faintly. He looked toward Gong Ze.
When he saw the look in Gong Ze’s eyes, Feng Yuan’s heart felt like it would be crushed to pieces by this bewildered, reluctant, terrified gesture of Gong Ze’s.
He did not know whether back then, when Hua Mulan looked at her husband, she also felt her husband was like a glass beauty—fragile and pitiable, making one wish to surround him with a heart full of tender love.
Feng Yuan hugged Gong Ze, his feelings like the Hegemon King embracing his Yu Ji.
Anyway, at this very moment Feng Yuan felt that if his parents did not agree to him being with Gong Ze, then damn it, he would steal the household register and marry Gong Ze anyway!
For Gong Ze, Feng Yuan could shake heaven and earth.
The system cat clutched its head: Who exactly said gongs have no delicate, green-tea side!
“Don’t worry, I’m right here.”
Being gazed at by Gong Ze with that fragile look, Feng Yuan instantly felt strength all over his body.
What’s this? Mom.
Lift and toss away.
What’s this? Dad.
Lift and toss away.
Feng Yuan’s tone was incomparably gentle. After soothingly hugging Gong Ze’s shoulder and speaking with deep affection, he raised his head and frowned at his parents: “Mom, Dad, you should know my assets were all built independently these past few years. You stopping my cards and freezing my accounts can’t control me, right?”
Mama Feng rolled her eyes: “Your mom I wouldn’t use such a low-level trick, okay?”
She held her husband’s shoulder, craning her neck to peek behind her son.
Seeing the beautiful Alpha’s frightened appearance, she inwardly gave a little wow. What a cute, beautiful A~ Who wouldn’t have their protective instincts explode seeing him?
This male beauty.
Mama Feng’s little heart pounded just looking at him.
She was extremely satisfied with this beautiful son-in-law! As for why she did not like mighty, magnificent A’s as son-in-laws… Mama Feng smiled. Do you think my son isn’t mighty and magnificent enough???
Her son was so tough that in the future, even if he had a child and nursed, he would not get a single mouthful of soft milk.
Seeing his mother still looking behind him, Feng Yuan thought she was going to threaten Gong Ze. His face darkened in displeasure. Although he maintained respect for family, a hint of danger could be heard in his voice.
“Mom, being with Gong Ze is my decision. He’s a very timid, introverted person. Don’t target him.”
Target him?
I wouldn’t be that classless!
What nonsense is my stupid son saying?
Mama Feng looked speechlessly at her son, who had raised all his sharp defenses against her. “What are you talking about? Don’t slander our innocence in front of someone else’s child, okay? We’re not feudal-era family patriarchs.”
Papa Feng agreed: “Exactly.”
“…”
Feng Yuan and Gong Ze were stunned.
What did that mean?
Mama Feng continued with a smile: “Your dad and I didn’t come to beat the mandarin ducks apart. It’s just that you hide things all day long. Your dad and I thought you were having an OO romance and got scared, so we came to take a look. We didn’t expect… hehe, this young man is really not bad.”
Mama Feng’s cheeks held a blush as she looked at Gong Ze with fondness.
Gong Ze met her gaze and lowered his head, murmuring.
Feng Yuan noticed his mother showing a maiden-like fangirl expression toward Gong Ze. His mouth twitched slightly, and he jealously and unhappily low-roared: “…Mom, what are you looking at?!”
Being shouted at by him, Mama Feng was even more displeased than him. She put her hands on her hips and glared at him: “Stinky brat, what’s wrong with me looking at my son-in-law? They say a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and grows more satisfied the more she looks. I just like this child very much.”
Papa Feng, who had been busy secretly stealing glances at his grandson, turned his face over sourly upon hearing this: “Wife…”
That’s not fair.
You clearly said I was the most handsome person in your heart.
Mama Feng smiled: That was all when we were young. Now husband has gotten fat with a beer belly, an uncle now, no longer the jade-like handsome young man of those years. His ranking has naturally dropped greatly.
Papa Feng: …
And when Feng Yuan heard his mother’s words, he froze. He and Gong Ze exchanged a glance. Gong Ze said quietly behind Feng Yuan: “Satisfied with me… You really are willing to accept me…?”
Before Mama Feng could speak, Papa Feng gave a humph and said with a bit of moodiness: “What can we do if we’re not satisfied? You two already finished having the child. Even if we’re not satisfied, it’s useless.”
Papa Feng, whose words shocked everyone, glared at Gong Ze and accused: “You young man, you look good but your character is not good. You got him pregnant and hid it from the family. The child is already so old and you still haven’t married! Are you planning not to take responsibility for my son! Today you must give my family an explanation!”
After he said this, both Gong Ze and Feng Yuan were dumbfounded.
“Got pregnant?? Child?? Ha???”
Feng Yuan was stupefied.
“Mom, Dad, are you two crazy?”
Give birth my ass! Hearing the words “pregnant” about himself, Feng Yuan could not help shivering with disgust.
Gong Ze was also stunned by the scolding. The honest, dull A flushed red and waved his hands in panic, stammering: “I-I didn’t… Feng Yuan and I have only known each other a few months. I haven’t permanently mark-marked him yet. How could there be…” a child?
The Alpha’s voice grew quieter and quieter, until finally his head nearly shrank into his chest.
Papa Feng: …
Mama Feng: …
Seeing the two’s reaction, the couple was also dumbfounded.
“Wait,” Papa Feng pointed blankly at Gu Panpan in Gong Ze’s arms. “You two didn’t give birth, then this child…”
Child?
The two froze.
Only then did Gong Ze and Feng Yuan realize where the misunderstanding was.
They slowly lowered their heads to look at the innocent, nervous good cub in their arms. Then Feng Yuan reacted, and his expression instantly became a speechless dead-fish eye. Gong Ze was also caught between laughter and tears.
Feng Yuan glanced at his parents and complained: “This little brat is thin and small and a Beta. How does he look like me? This is Gong Ze’s—”
Seeing his parents staring, Feng Yuan instead found it hard to say this was the drag bottle Gong Ze’s ex-wife had dumped on him. He vaguely beautified it: “He, mm, is a child he’s raising. No blood relation. His name is Panpan.”
Hearing this, Gong Ze looked at him disapprovingly.
How could he lie?
In front of family, one should be even more honest. He wanted Feng Yuan’s parents to accept him, but not through lies.
Feng Yuan guiltily turned his head away.
How was this lying? He just… beautified it a tiny bit…
And besides…
Looking at the people coming and going, and several passersby staring at them curiously, Feng Yuan wrapped an arm around Gong Ze, who was glaring at him, and patted Panpan’s head along the way. He said to his parents:
“It’s messy here. Not a place for talking. What can be explained clearly here? Anyway, now you know about me and Gong Ze, so there’s nothing more to hide. Let’s go. We’ll find a quiet place to talk.”
“…”
