Chapter 466: Chapter 465: Drama King and Queen Parents
Lu Mian didn’t understand and glared back at him, “What’s the use of talking to Xiao Qimo?
You are the real big boss.”
Ye Jinwen’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
Yes, he was the real big boss, a puppet big boss, a big boss who only took the blame.
Could there be anyone more miserable than him?
Meanwhile, Xiao Qimo quickly returned home.
The butler had called him, saying that his mother was not doing well, so he drove straight back.
However, upon his return, he found that the house was as harmonious as ever, without any tense atmosphere.
Some of the servants even looked at him with a hint of mockery.
Xiao Qimo then realized that he had been duped.
Grinding his teeth, he found his mother, Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen was indeed half-reclining on the bed.
Xiao Huazun was taking care of her by her side.
When Xiao Qimo returned, Qi Zhen hung her head in a pitiable manner, and Xiao Huazun immediately came over to comfort her, “Alright, alright, wife, calm down.
Everything will be okay.”
“It won’t be okay this time.
It won’t, what are we going to do?
Old Xiao, I’m sorry, I failed to raise our son properly, it’s all my fault.”
“Wife, don’t you ever say that.
You haven’t let me down; it’s my fault.
I shouldn’t have let you have him, and now I’ve even caused you harm.”
Xiao Huazun stood by the bed, holding Qi Zhen tenderly as she sobbed softly in his embrace.
Xiao Qimo looked on impassively at this scene and leisurely pushed his glasses up his nose, remaining remarkably composed.
He cracked a slight smile.
“Can we cut now?” This couple might be very good at displaying affection, but when it came to dealing with him, they really could pull out all the stops, acting like drama queens day after day.
He wondered what issue had sparked this performance this time; his eyes had seen through too much, and this was not his first or second time experiencing such an act.
Although he was experienced, he had no choice; every time his mother used her health to force him home, he never dared to ignore it.
This tactic really never failed.
The couple, who had been in tears just a moment before, almost instantly reverted to their normal expressions upon hearing his words, their emotional management flawless, especially Qi Zhen, who even summoned a gentle and virtuous smile, “Son, you’re back.”
“Mom, what is it this time?
Tell me,” Xiao Qimo was somewhat helpless.
Qi Zhen got out of bed nimbly, showing no sign of trouble at all.
She eagerly approached Xiao Qimo.
“Son, I’ve even cooked for you, fulfilled all your requests, but you must communicate with us at home about anything, okay?
I know you’ve always had your own ideas, but these matters aren’t yours alone.
Your father and I are your parents, and we have the right to know about your love life.”
Xiao Qimo pinched the bridge of his nose.
“If it’s about this, then I have even less to say.
I’ve already told you, I’ll bring someone home during the New Year, and, sorry, I’ve already accompanied her to meet her uncle.” His tone carried a hint of bragging.
The moment Qi Zhen heard this, the smile on her face vanished, leaving her looking stiff.
He’d already met the parents?
How could it have happened so fast?
She knew Yun Sang had an uncle, a man with a childlike temperament, so perhaps this was something he would do.
Yet…
she wanted to say something but found herself unable to speak.
She feared hurting her son’s pride, and damaging their mother-son relationship.
She certainly couldn’t be the evil mother-in-law who breaks up her son’s relationship.
But she did very much yearn for grandchildren.
Xiao Qimo was unaware of the turmoil in her mind, the corners of his mouth lifted as he said with a smile, “Just during the New Year, you rest assured, I won’t disappoint you this year.”
You certainly won’t disappoint, but you’ve plunged your mother into despair!
Qi Zhen silently added in his heart and nodded with difficulty, “Fine, fine.”
Xiao Qimo felt her behavior was a bit strange, but considering Lu Mian was still waiting for him at the hotel and he had to return home for the New Year anyway, he didn’t feel like staying any longer.
“Don’t overthink it, I’m leaving; she’s waiting for me.”
Xiao Qimo drove away, and Qi Zhen escorted him to the front gate, watching his car disappear into the distance, holding her chest.
Xiao Huazun patted her shoulder, “Our son is grown up and has his own ideas.
If all else fails, we might as well try for a second child.”
The man’s lips curled into a mischievous smile, to which Qi Zhen responded with a chuckle and a playful punch, “Don’t talk such nonsense.”
Xiao Huazun nodded, okay, no talking, but doing was another matter.
Xiao Qimo drove all the way back to Yangfan Hotel, feeling increasingly uneasy along the journey but unable to pinpoint the reason.
He really wanted to bring Lu Mian home now, but knowing Little Mianmian’s character and her eagerness to acknowledge her new godmother, he felt that this matter required careful consideration.
He wondered when she would come around.
Lu Mian had told Ye Jinwen that she was moving out of Zitan Pavilion.
She really didn’t have many possessions; after casually slipping her charger into her pocket, she left, light as a feather.
As she passed the downstairs, several teammates saw her and heard Ye Jinwen continuously trying to persuade her, “Little Mianmian, don’t go.
You’re living so well here.
Why go back to that cold place?
Qi Mo isn’t there, and I’m not there either.”
Lu Mian turned and smiled at him, a smile laden with meaning.
Ye Jinwen didn’t understand and just stood there, watching her walk away until her figure was out of sight.
Cheng Feng, driven by curiosity, approached, “Boss Daddy, what’s wrong with Lu Mian?
Is she not staying here anymore?”
“Oh man,” Ye Jinwen slapped his forehead, “It’s complicated.”

Cheng Feng, scratching his head, saw a serious expression appear on that baby face, which didn’t quite suit him, and asked, “Is Lu Mian angry?”
“Yes…
and she’s incredibly hard to appease.”
“Then you should have Ning Xiang talk to her.
They’re both girls; it might be easier to communicate.”
Ye Jinwen realized that made sense, as the room Lu Mian was staying in was in the female dormitory, where the males weren’t convenient to visit.
If Ning Xiang would go, it would be much easier.
He needed to take care of this swiftly, to cheer up Little Mianmian before Qi Mo returned.
Just then, Ning Xiang walked in from outside, holding a white T-shirt signed with autographs.
Ye Jinwen greeted her, and Cheng Feng walked over too.
“Ning Xiang, the big boss has a favor to ask of you.”
“Oh, what is it?”
While Ye Jinwen was still pondering how to explain, Cheng Feng cut in, “It’s about Lu Mian.
She seems a little upset and has gone back to the hotel where they’re training.
Could you go on our behalf to talk to her?
It’s inconvenient for us to go there.”
