Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

Ever since Kong Haoyu said he already had a girlfriend, his parents stopped mentioning blind dates on the surface, but the atmosphere at home was a bit subtle.

At the dinner table, my mother's hand would always hover in the air as she picked up food: "Haohao, what do you think that girl does for a living? Can you at least tell us a rough idea?"

My father silently put down the newspaper, his eyes behind his glasses scrutinizing him: "You won't even give me a photo, do you think we're old and confused?"

Kong Haoyu could only give a vague answer: "She is busy with work and doesn't like to show up in public."

Instead of dispelling their doubts, these words made the two elders' curiosity grow like weeds.

When he returned home late at night after working overtime, he discovered that there were many photos of young girls in his mother's mobile phone album, with the note saying "Sister Wang from the neighboring community recommended my colleague's niece."

My father began to frequently go in and out of his study, using the excuse of sorting out old things but actually looking for clues.

Once he even found a crumpled shopping receipt in his suit pocket, which recorded the purchase record at a convenience store near the suburban motorcycle club - that was the trace left by his father when he was secretly following him.

One weekend morning, Kong Haoyu was awakened by the sound of quarreling coming from the kitchen.

"Lao Kong, please don't hide it from me!"

The mother's voice was filled with dissatisfaction. "You said you went to his company building and walked around for three days. What did you see?"

His father lowered his voice and said, "I see him running to the outskirts of the city every day with a tool bag in his hand. It doesn't look like a date at all!" The moment he opened the door, he saw his mother holding his express delivery slip in her hand. The eye-catching "Motorcycle Club" address on it made his eyes hurt.

“What are you doing?”

Kong Haoyu's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

The mother's eyes were red: "We just want to know if you are really in love!"

The father turned his face away and said stubbornly: "I raised you to this age, but you don't even have the right to meet your future daughter-in-law?"

After the quarrel, the parents seemed to have calmed down on the surface, but they took more secretive actions in private.

The mother knew that Kong Haoyu had a good brother named Lu Wei, who was a member of the "Five Handsome Group". He loved to chat and gossip and was outspoken.

To get close to Lü Wei, his mother researched young people's preferences, downloaded short video apps, and learned how to shoot funny clips. A week later, she finally ran into him at the gym he frequented.

"Xiao Wei, can you do Auntie a favor?" Mother said with an embarrassed look on her face, holding her phone. "I want to make a birthday video for Haoyu, but I don't know how to edit. I heard you're very good at it."

Seeing that it was Kong Haoyu's mother, Lu Wei readily agreed.

While helping his mother edit videos, the two gradually became close. His mother would occasionally bring Lu Wei some freshly made snacks, listen to him talk about interesting things in the office, and skillfully guide the conversation.

On this day, the mother went to the old-fashioned pastry shop to buy a box of signature dim sum, and "ran into" it by chance on the way that Lu Wei had to take after get off work.

"Xiao Wei, thanks to your help, auntie doesn't know how to thank you." Mother's face was full of smiles as she handed over the snacks enthusiastically.

"Xiao Wei, I heard from my son Haoyu that he has a girlfriend. Can you tell me what kind of person Haoyu's girlfriend is?"

Lu Wei looked at the amiable Kong Ma in front of him, then at the exquisite gift in his hand, and his guard was immediately lost.

"Auntie, you finally asked the right person!"

He patted his chest and said, "Haoyu's girlfriend is Xiao Fangfei, she's a super awesome person! She's a professional motorcycle athlete, has won many national championships, and is preparing to go to Milan to participate in an international competition!"

After hearing this, the smile on his mother's face had not yet disappeared, and Lu Wei continued, "But Auntie, I have to be honest with you. Sister Xiao is a person who has devoted all her attention to her career. She often says that marriage is a shackle and she has no plans to get married in the short term. She said that now is the golden period for developing her career and she doesn't want to enter the marriage fortress so early. She just wants to pursue her dreams freely." Lu Wei spoke excitedly and imitated Xiao Fangfei's tone and expression.

"Besides, she's very busy, either training or competing, so it's sometimes difficult for Haoyu to even date her.

Last time, Haoyu prepared a candlelight dinner, but she received a call from the team at the last minute and left in a hurry. Haoyu sat alone in the restaurant for a long time.

The smile on my mother's face froze instantly, and her hand holding the snack box trembled slightly.

"Not getting married? Then what's the point of her dating Haoyu? Isn't a relationship without the purpose of getting married a waste of time?"

Lu Wei was completely unaware of the change in atmosphere and continued to talk.

"Auntie, isn't that what young people are like nowadays? Sister Xiao also said that things like love should just be left to nature, and there's no need to tie each other down with marriage."

When she got home, the mother told Kong's father everything that had happened.

Kong's father was so angry that his face turned blue, and he slammed the teacup heavily on the coffee table: "What kind of thing is this! If you don't want to get married, why are you provoking our Haoyu?"

The mother was also outraged: "How could the son we raised with so much effort be subjected to such injustice in his relationship?"

The father took out his cell phone and contacted his old friends, who were well-known figures in various industries, and asked them to help investigate Xiao Fangfei's detailed background.

After that, the parents' investigation became more intense.

Through his connections over the years, my father got hold of Xiao Fangfei's personal information.

He also secretly contacted a private detective to check Xiao Fangfei's family background and love history.

The information sent back by the private detective showed that Xiao Fangfei's mother was a worker and her father ran a small business.

Xiao Fangfei started participating in motorcycle races during her college years, and made a name for herself in the circle with her fighting spirit.

Instead of reassuring the father, these messages made him even more worried. He felt that the girl, without family support, was too strong-willed and not suitable for his son.

The mother said in the family group that her son was delayed by an "unreliable" girl, which prompted all the aunts and uncles to offer suggestions.

Some said they wanted to introduce a new partner to Kong Haoyu, while others said they wanted to come and talk to Xiao Fangfei.

The mother even began to organize Kong Haoyu's childhood photos and awards, thinking of "showing" them to Xiao Fangfei one day to let her know how outstanding her son is.

She also joined a forum for motorcycle enthusiasts and registered a secondary account to inquire about Xiao Fangfei's character. As a result, she saw that the forum was full of praise for Xiao Fangfei, saying that she had superb skills and was a righteous person, which made her mother feel even more uncomfortable.

Once, his mother even secretly followed Kong Haoyu to the vicinity of the motorcycle club.

She wore a wide-brimmed hat and a scarf, hiding in the coffee shop on the corner like a thief.

When she saw Xiao Fangfei whizzing out on her roaring motorcycle and ignoring Kong Haoyu, his mother was worried about his emotional future.

When she saw Xiao Fangfei and a group of young people walking into the club, chatting and laughing, her heart ached.

It was not until it was getting dark that she saw Kong Haoyu walking out of the club with a tired smile on his face and a tool kit in his hand. It was obvious that he had been working with Xiao Fangfei for a long time.

This scene brought tears to the mother's eyes. She felt sorry for her son's efforts and was angry at Xiao Fangfei's "indifference".

At this time, Kong Haoyu was completely unaware of his parents' investigation.

He still carefully maintains a balance, dealing with his parents' indirect nagging and Xiao Fangfei's career enthusiasm every day.

Until one night, he accidentally saw his mother's mobile phone screen light up and a message from Lu Wei popped up.

"Auntie, if Sister Xiao really only wants to date and not consider marriage, then it will really delay Brother Haoyu."

Looking at this message, Kong Haoyu felt powerless - this investigation caused by love seemed to be heading out of control, and he was caught in the middle, not knowing what to do.
