The big star has a prince syndrome

"Listen to me, it's not what you think. It's..."

Xu Qingran had not originally intended to tell Ye Yan about those things, thinking that Ye Yan was already tired from filming, and Xu Qingran did not want him to have any wild thoughts during the short break time.

But if we continue to keep this situation a secret, the consequences seem to be even more serious.

He took a breath and took another step forward before continuing his explanation.

"My mom found out about your relationship, and I admitted it, but she kept it a secret from me and told Bai Wenwen about our relationship. Bai Wenwen said she wouldn't rush into becoming a gay wife, so she would cooperate with me to deal with my parents."

"I just went over to take a photo because He Yaran's boyfriend is our partner. I wanted to build a good relationship with her so that I can have my own network of contacts in S City. There's really no other reason. Calm down. Getting angry is not good for your health."

Xu Qingran told everything. He said that the first two times he appeared only after Ye Yan was injured, and he did not see Ye Yan lose control of his emotions with his own eyes.

He saw Ye Yan today. She looked very unfamiliar to him, but not completely unfamiliar.

He knew that Ye Yan was a straightforward person, but how serious would the matter have to be to make him so angry?

He felt that if it was because of what happened at the birthday party, it wouldn't be the case at all, because although Ye Yan was sensitive, he was not a person without vision, unless his heart was no longer controlled by reason.

So that's how it is. Lin Anyi already knows that he is dating Xu Qingran. This is really shocking news.

Ye Yan's chaotic mind finally cleared up a little. He stared at Xu Qingran for a few seconds, then said in disbelief, "You said your mother knows about our relationship? What's her attitude?"

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to burst through his chest.

He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force.

At the same time, those eyes were full of expectations for Xu Qingran, as bright and firm as the starry sky.

He seemed to be praying silently, hoping that his lover's relatives would recognize his existence.

Unfortunately, the answer was destined not to be what he wanted. He should have known it long ago, but he was still holding on to hope.

In the end, all he got was Xu Qingran shaking her head darkly: "She disagrees and says she will keep on finding a woman who doesn't mind me liking men. So I really need Bai Wenwen's help to stop my mother from bothering us."

It sounds reasonable. Their love needs a shield to be safer.

Ye Yan understood, but she wasn't happy at all.

"So what you're saying is that you and Bai Wenwen pretended to agree to a marriage to deal with your parents, and privately you just went about your own business and didn't interfere with each other?"

Ye Yan asked tentatively. He felt that there should be no problem with his understanding. Although Xu Qingran did not say it explicitly, that was what he meant.

Xu Qingran hesitated because he was not sure whether Ye Yan could accept his approach. Things became complicated because he did not ask for his opinion in advance.

"Yes, I don't want anyone to disturb us, and I don't want my mother to bother you because of this matter. So before I take charge of the company, we need a shield to protect our relationship. Bai Wenwen happens to be willing, and I can't miss this opportunity. Do you understand?"

The light in the entrance was dim, and the hazy light and shadow were projected on the glass fragments on the ground, reflecting some colorful colors, which formed a sharp contrast with the gloom in Ye Yan's eyes at this time.

Xu Qingran felt that this was a win-win solution, and Ye Yan had no reason to object.

Just when he thought he had explained everything clearly, he stepped forward to pull Ye Yan's hand, but before he could touch it, Ye Yan coldly slapped it away with a snap.

His eyes were red and he looked at Xu Qingran with disappointment.

"Is this what you were thinking? You want me to give up my position as the queen to Bai Wenwen and become your shameful concubine? I'm telling you I don't agree. Call her right now and tell her that you don't need her help. Tell her to go back to where she came from. Call now!"

"What about the queen or concubine? Don't let me fool around. I just want us to be together better. We can't get married anyway. So what if we can't be together in public? Isn't it enough to be together? Why do this..."

Xu Qingran was trying to persuade Ye Yan to accept his decision when a loud slap landed on his face, cutting off his unfinished words.

This was not the first slap Xu Qingran received from Ye Yan. The previous slap was out of flirting, but this time it was out of resentment.

Since they couldn't get married anyway, Ye Yan never thought that one day he would hear such asshole words from Xu Qingran.

It turns out that in his heart, illegal love is still abnormal. Ye Yan's eyes were instantly filled with disappointment.

At this moment, he thought he probably understood what it meant to cherish something only when you can't get it. Last year, Xu Qingran couldn't say such a jerkish thing.

The person standing before him now was the heir of ATIM Group, who had nothing to do with the young assistant he loved so much.

"Xu Qingran, you've been the CEO for a few days and you're already acting like a pushover in front of me. You think only relationships that lead to marriage are normal, right? Then why the hell did you mess with me in the first place? You want to be with other women legitimately, but you're still a fucking green tea, making me sneak around in secret. I'm telling you, I don't have that habit. There's no way I'm going to let you have a legitimate relationship with someone else. I, Ye Yan, can't stand this injustice. There's no room for negotiation."

When he found himself being treated unfairly, he would always speak directly and harshly, even if the person in question was someone he liked.

He didn't even give Xu Qingran room to negotiate, he just turned around and walked away with his hands held up. Xu Qingran's subconscious reaction was to pull him, but he was pushed away again.

"Ye Yan, can you calm down? I'm doing this for you and for us. Without Bai Wenwen as a defense, we'll be in a lot more trouble. My parents won't let this go."

He didn't tell Ye Yan that he had just received a call from his father in the hotel.

The father who seemed to be more open-minded than Lin Anyi also lost the filter of his family after knowing that he was dating a man.

"I'm warning you, I allow you to fall in love freely, but I don't allow you to fall in love with a man! I don't care whether you want to arrange a marriage or marry a Cinderella, but the other party must be a woman! Do you understand?"

"I'm not deaf, how could I not understand? I'm just wondering, there are so many children in the world who need help, do they have to have one more child like me?"

"Don't try to change my mind! Even if you never get married or have children, you can't find a man! How will people in the circle view our Xu family? If they say my son, Xu Rong, is gay, how will I even maintain my dignity?"

Xu Rong's attitude was as tough as when he disagreed with him becoming a professional athlete.

It was also at this time that Xu Qingran realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something. It turned out that his father was not easier to talk to than his mother, but was just too lazy to care about him in trivial matters.

When Ye Yan heard him calling her full name, she knew that he was impatient. Her heart suddenly felt sore and her eyes hurt a little.

"If you're so afraid of trouble, then don't like me. If you had told me earlier that you were the son of a wealthy family, I might have really reconsidered dating you. I wouldn't have accepted your endorsement. I'm just an orphan with living parents, and they won't interfere in my private affairs. So I hope your parents won't bother me either. It's your responsibility to convince them. I want you to clearly tell your parents that you only want me, okay?"

He felt that his request was not excessive at all. He was obviously the wife, and he couldn't bear to watch outsiders wish his boyfriend happiness with another woman.

He thought Xu Qingran's love for him was so passionate and pure that she would definitely agree to him.

As long as he agreed, she would forgive his unintentional behavior tonight and forgive him for his blindness in not seeing Bai Wenwen's intentions, but what he waited for was Xu Qingran's silence.

Xu Qingran’s current goal is to inherit the company as soon as possible. Only after officially taking over the company will he have the confidence to confront his parents.

He also has a secret, which is that to this day, he has not yet resolved the knot in his heart that caused him to be forced to give up his dream.

Because the Xu family must have a qualified heir to shoulder this responsibility and mission, and as an only child, he is destined to be unable to break free from this established trajectory throughout his life.

He knew very well that the only way to escape this passive predicament was to become the real person in power in advance. By then, the company would be inseparable from him, and he would be his bargaining chip with his family.

This was a plan he had made long ago, and Ye Yan was an unexpected surprise that came out of nowhere in his plan.

"If you really mind, I can think of another way. I'm sorry, I should have discussed it with you before making a decision. Yan, believe me, I really want to protect you. Since you don't agree, I will not meet with Bai Wenwen again."

His hesitation chilled Ye Yan's heart, but after hesitation he still chose to follow his heart. He would feel distressed when he saw the person he loved sad.

Ye Yan's nerves, which had been tense, finally relaxed a little after hearing his apology. It was like he was trapped on the battlefield and suddenly found a way to escape. He was saved.

You're smart, Ye Yan thought, I'll give you another chance.

He threw himself into Xu Qingran's arms and bit his lips as if to vent his anger, causing Xu Qingran to gasp in pain.

"What? Corporal punishment?"

"I'll leave you a mark so they don't miss my people."

This was the truth, so he bit her extra hard, and the teeth marks on Xu Qingran's lower lip slowly oozed blood.
