I failed again

Was Yun Yao's nervousness and fear when they met at noon just because he didn't like meeting strangers?

Even if you don't like it, you shouldn't behave like this, right?

Qin Muxiu felt that there must be other reasons, but Qin Fang just didn't find them.

Thinking of Yun Yao, Qin Muxiu looked at the chat box again, and found that Yun Yao had not replied to him yet, so he exited with some disappointment.

What is he busy with? Why hasn't he replied to me for so long?

Qin Muxiu recalled the scent of Clivia lingering in his nose when he hugged Yun Yao in the car, and his heart was filled with joy.

Tsk, how come there is still more than a month before the wedding, Qin Muxiu thought unhappily, isn't it too long? Also, why hasn't Yaoyao replied to him yet?

Qin Muxiu waited boredly for nearly three hours. Seeing that Yun Yao still didn't reply to him, he thought that Yun Yao should be asleep at this late hour, so he didn't wait any longer. He took a shower and went straight to bed.

The next day, Qin Muxiu got up very early, picked up the communicator and saw that Yun Yao had replied to his message at around three in the morning.

"I was just drawing and didn't check the message. What's the matter?"

Qin Muxiu frowned. Painting until three in the morning? What kind of hellish schedule is this?

"Don't paint too late next time. It's not good for your health." Qin Muxiu thought for a moment and sent another message, "I'll be free in a couple of days. How about we go out on a date?"

After sending the message, Qin Muxiu did not wait for Yun Yao to reply. He went to bed so late last night, so he was probably still asleep now.

After washing up, Qin Muxiu went downstairs to the restaurant to eat. As soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Ruoyuan already sitting at the dining table eating, with a suitcase not far away.

"Are you going to leave after dinner?" Qin Muxiu asked.

"Yes." Jiang Ruoyuan swallowed what he had in his mouth and said, "I have to go to the Bai family first, and then take Bai Ci's private spaceship to Blue Star, so I will go there earlier."

Jiang Ruoyuan wiped his mouth with a tissue as he spoke, then said to Qin Muxiu, "I'm done, brother, take your time eating, I'll be leaving first, please tell grandpa when the time comes."

After saying that, he went out with his suitcase.

Qin Muxiu looked at Jiang Ruoyuan's back and realized for the first time that his brother was so active.

Qin Muxiu sighed as he sat down to eat. Halfway through his meal, Old Man Qin came over and saw that he was alone. He muttered, "Xiaoyuan, this guy, is sleeping in again..."

Qin Muxiu glanced at him and said, "He has finished eating and left."

"Running so fast?" Old Master Qin asked in shock.

Qin Muxiu didn't reply. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, reached out to take a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said, "I'm going to the military headquarters."

Near noon, Qin Muxiu received a reply from Yun Yao, a simple "OK".

Qin Muxiu typed, "Awake? Have you had lunch?"

"Not yet." Yun Yao replied.

"It just so happens that I haven't eaten either. I'll come pick you up now and we'll go out to eat together." Qin Muxiu said.

Yun Yao looked at the words above and was hesitant. His reason told him that he should agree and spend more time with Qin Muxiu; but he didn't want to agree. He had gone out yesterday, and today he just wanted to stay at home quietly and didn't want to go out.

Finally, Yun Yao sent the chat screenshot to Si Heng and asked him for any suggestions.

Si Heng automatically ignored Yun Yao's question for his advice and replied, "I've already sent a message to the nanny who's cooking so she doesn't need to come over. Go out and eat without worry."

Yun Yao: ………………

Yun Yao could only helplessly reply to Qin Muxiu with a "good" word.

Then he got up, tidied himself, and sat in the living room, waiting for Qin Muxiu to come.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Yun Yao got up to open the door and wondered curiously, why was it so fast?

As soon as the door opened, the person standing at the door was not Qin Muxiu, but a couple. Yun Yao recognized them immediately. They were his nominal parents.

Seeing them, Yun Yao couldn't help but recall the memory of being abused and beaten when he was in the Yun family. He took a step back with a trembling body and tried to close the door, but his father's hand held the door shut.

"Yun Yao, you are really becoming more and more unruly." Father Yun shouted in a deep voice, "Before, I sent Secretary Wang to pick you up. You were rude to Secretary Wang, but now you want to lock your parents out?"

Yun Yao took a step back, loosened the strength on his hands, and pushed the door open to his father.

Father Yun and Mother Yun went straight in.

Father Yun looked around the house and then said with some disdain, "You live in such a shabby place?"

Yun Yao lowered his head and said nothing.

Father Yun looked at him with disdain and said, "You are becoming more and more petty. Although our Yun family is not a big family, it is also well-known. How could we raise someone like you who is not worthy of being on the stage?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Father Yun said kindly, "We are here to take you back to the Yun family today, so hurry up and pack... Forget it, you don't have to pack your things, just come with us."

When Yun Yao heard about returning to the Yun family, he was so excited that he said loudly, "I'm not going back!"

"You're not going back? Have you grown wings now and learned to resist? You think you're so great just because you're engaged to Marshal Qin?" Father Yun wanted to continue scolding, but was pulled back by Mother Yun. He remembered what Grandpa Yun had told him when he came here, and shut up reluctantly.

He thought angrily, wondering what kind of luck he had that he could have a 99% pheromone compatibility with Marshal Qin.

He must be extremely proud now. No wonder a usually cowardly person now dares to speak loudly to him.

"Xiao Yao, it was your grandfather who insisted on having his own way back then, and mom and dad had no choice but to let your grandfather kick you out. Now mom and dad have finally persuaded your grandfather to take you home, so just go home with mom and dad obediently." When Yun's mother saw that Yun's father had calmed down and stopped talking, she looked at Yun Yao and persuaded him softly.

She didn't want to come either. After all, she had never raised Yun Yao for a single day since he was born, and he was not close to her. Even though she knew that Yun Yao and Qin Muxiu had remarried, and she could get a lot of benefits by recognizing Yun Yao as her husband, she was not as thick-skinned as the people in the Yun family to recognize Yun Yao as her husband.

In the past, Yun Yao was abused by the servants in the Yun family, but she did nothing about it. Now that Yun Yao's status has risen, she can't force herself to get close to him. If she has the time, she might as well go to the club and hire a few puppies to stick with her.

But there was no way out. Old Master Yun had spoken, asking her to come with Yun's father to take Yun Yao home, otherwise he would take action against her daughter.

I don’t know where this old guy got such a thick skin. He was the one who kicked Yun Yao out of the house, and now he is the one who is eager to take Yun Yao back. He is really shameless.

And Father Yun, he has inherited the old man's thick skin perfectly, and he even has the nerve to act like a father in front of Yun Yao? Doesn't he feel guilty?

Moreover, they came together today to persuade Yun Yao to return to the Yun family. Who is he putting on airs for?

"We have severed our relationship." Yun Yao clenched the corner of his clothes tightly and tried to keep his voice calm, "I won't go back."

"That was just a joke from your grandfather, don't take it seriously." Yunmu said with a smile, "Xiaoyao, I know you still have a grudge about what happened back then. Now your grandfather has dealt with Wang Ma who abused you, you can go home without worry."

Yun Yao smiled sarcastically. Was it only Wang Ma who abused him? All the servants in the Yun family had beaten him. Wang Ma was just one of them, and she wasn't the one who beat him the worst.

Now that I'm useful to them, they push all the blame onto Wang Ma and ask for my return on the condition that she's dealt with?

It's impossible. After I broke off relations with them, I never thought about going back.

Yun Yao shook his head firmly and said, "I won't go back. You guys go and don't waste your time here."

Yunmu wanted to say something when she heard a male voice coming from outside the door, "Yaoyao."

Yun Yao listened to the familiar voice and wondered why Qin Muxiu suddenly called him Yaoyao so intimately. Even Brother Si Heng had never called him that.

Before he could turn around, he saw Father Yun walking around him and towards the door with an enthusiastic look on his face, "Marshal Qin, why are you here?"

Qin Muxiu ignored Yun's father and walked towards Yun Yao. He put his arm around his shoulders and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that you had a guest? If you had told me, I wouldn't have come."

Before Yun Yao could say anything, his father interrupted and said, "We are not guests. We are Xiao Yao's parents. We are here to take Xiao Yao back to the Yun family. Marshal Qin, how about accompanying Xiao Yao back to the Yun family?"

Yun Yao clenched his fist unhappily and said, "I just said that I will not go back with you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are your parents. Don't you want your parents anymore?" Yun's father scolded angrily.

Qin Muxiu held Yun Yao's clenched fist and said to Yun's father, "Since Yao Yao doesn't want to go back with you now, then Mr. Yun should go back first."

Seeing that Yun's father wanted to say something, Qin Muxiu winked at his adjutant, who immediately stepped forward and escorted Yun's father out in a tough manner. Yun's mother was very tactful and followed him out.

After seeing Father Yun and Mother Yun leave, Qin Muxiu looked at Yun Yao and asked, "Why did you open the door and let them in?"

"I thought it was you." Yun Yao said with his head down. If he knew it was them, he would never open the door even if he was beaten to death.

"Oh, it's my fault. I didn't tell you clearly what time I would arrive." Qin Muxiu sighed, "Alright, forget about them. You haven't had breakfast and lunch yet, go eat first."

Qin Muxiu took Yun Yao to the restaurant they had booked long ago. While waiting for the food, Qin Muxiu looked at Yun Yao and asked, "Have you always had such an irregular schedule?"

Yun Yao looked at Qin Muxiu and whispered, "I think it's quite regular..."

Taking a break after finishing a painting, what's irregular about that?

"...Do you think this is regular? You go to bed at three in the morning and sleep until noon. You even skip breakfast. How can your body be healthy if you keep doing this for a long time?" Qin Muxiu said, "Look at how thin you have become."

Well, it is indeed a little irregular. Yun Yao thought so, lowered his head and pretended to be dead without saying anything. He had the illusion that the person sitting in front of him was Brother Si Heng.

Qin Muxiu talked a lot again, like an old woman.

Yun Yao kept his head down and listened obediently to Qin Muxiu's lecture the whole time. This was indeed his problem.

"I will call you at a certain time next time to remind you to rest." Qin Muxiu sighed as he looked at Yun Yao's honest appearance.

He was most familiar with Yun Yao's expression. Qin Yuan was like this when he was scolded at home. He seemed honest on the surface, but in fact he didn't hear a word.

Yun Yao politely declined, "You are so busy, I won't bother you."

Now at mealtime, Brother Si Heng would call to urge him to eat. If Qin Muxiu were to join in, he didn't know how many times he would be disturbed in a day.

"It's a small matter, no trouble." Qin Muxiu said.

Yun Yao twisted his fingers and said nothing.

Qin Muxiu looked at his action and thought it was very cute. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I remember you were working with a friend. Where is your friend?"

"There is a piano competition, and Brother Si Heng is serving as a judge." Yun Yao said.

"When will you come back?" Qin Muxiu continued to ask.

"About a month later." Yun Yao said.

Qin Muxiu nodded and asked, "Can I meet him then?"

He wanted to meet Si Heng and get a more comprehensive understanding of Yun Yao from Si Heng.

"Sure." Yun Yao said. Even if Qin Muxiu didn't mention it, Brother Si Heng would have taken the initiative to bring it up.

After the two of them finished their meal, Qin Muxiu looked at Yun Yao and suddenly said, "Do you want to go to the military headquarters with me?"

"Ah? Don't you need a pass to get in?" Yun Yao asked in surprise. He didn't have a pass, so how could he get in?

"Family members can come in." Qin Muxiu looked at Yun Yao with a smile.

Yun Yao lowered his head with red ears and said, "We are not married yet, so we are not considered family members."

"Okay, let's go after the wedding." Qin Muxiu leaned close to Yun Yao's ear and said, "You will be family members after the wedding, right?"

After saying that, without waiting for Yun Yao's response, he quickly sat down and changed the subject, "So shall I take you home now?"

"Let's go home." Yun Yao said, touching the tip of his ear.

"Okay, let's go." Qin Muxiu stood up and said, "I'll take you back now."

After Yun Yao was sent back, he wanted to go to the studio to paint, but he just couldn't concentrate on painting.

I wanted to call Si Heng, but I was worried about disturbing him, so I could only sit on the sofa and stare blankly.

It took a long time before he returned to the studio.

In the following days, Qin Muxiu would find various excuses to ask Yun Yao out whenever he was free. The relationship between the two improved a lot, and Yun Yao was slowly accepting Qin Muxiu.

On this day, Qin Muxiu wanted to ask Yun Yao to go out to see a movie together, but was rejected by Yun Yao.

Yun Yao had a painting that he hadn't finished yet, so he told Qin Muxiu about it. Qin Muxiu was very happy and said that he could go to his house and watch him paint.

So, Qin Muxiu came to Yun Yao's house. Yun Yao asked him to stay in the living room and went to the kitchen to cut some fruit for him.

Qin Muxiu sat on the sofa waiting for Yun Yao. Yun Yao hadn't come out yet, but the door was opened from the outside.
