The big star has a prince syndrome

Although Xu Qingran had told Ye Yan a long time ago that his parents did not approve of their relationship, the feeling of confirming it with his own ears for the first time was even worse than he had imagined.

He had always thought that he was so free and easy that he didn't care about the attitude of Xu Qingran's parents. But now that Lin Anyi's voice of disapproval was right in his ears, he was a little afraid to listen.

But it’s okay. Xu Qingran will fight with her family to the end for him, no matter whether his parents agree or not.

Thinking of this, Ye Yan closed her eyes confidently, ready to listen to how Xu Qingran would defend their love in front of Lin Anyi.

Xu Qingran thought he was far enough away from the car that no one would hear him arguing with his own mother, so he sneered impudently in response to Lin Anyi's questioning.

"Heh~ Then what do you want me to do so that I won't be mad to death and can still save your dignity?"

The way he and Lin Anyi communicated had remained the same for ten years. If one day he called her "Mom" politely and properly, Lin Anyi probably wouldn't dare to agree and would think something terrible had happened.

Lin Anyi really disliked his sarcastic attitude, and she disliked even more that he did not obey his mother as a son should.

"Xu Qingran, watch your tone. I'm your mother. Before your relationship becomes a joke for hundreds of millions of people, I want you to immediately draw a line between you and Ye Yan. If you don't do as I say, I don't mind speaking up for you."

"Threatening me? Aren't you afraid that if I reveal the fact that I like men, conceal my son's sexual orientation, and trick the parents of those rich girls into arranging marriages, you might get scolded and stabbed in the back?"

In the scene of loving mother and filial son, Xu Qingran was also the one who took the responsibility. Lin Anyi seemed to have anticipated that he would not agree so easily. This time, she actually controlled the urge to scold Xu Qingran. She just exhaled deeply, leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes.

Xu Qingran is really ruthless, Ye Yan thought. The garage was quiet and empty, and he could hear every word of their conversation.

Isn't it a bad thing because I caused a huge quarrel between the mother and son?

Ye Yan had some thoughts that were not in line with his character, and he actually blamed himself. He considered himself a selfish person, and most of the time he always put his own feelings first in everything.

Perhaps it was because the other person was Xu Qingran, and their complete and happy family was a regret that he didn't want to mention.

But now Xu Qingran has a happy family. He doesn't know how to evaluate himself because he disobeyed his parents for him. Should he enjoy it or feel guilty?

"Xu Qingran, you've gone too far! You're willing to gamble the reputation of your entire family and company just for your own selfish desires. Is that all you can do? You're willing to go against the entire world just for your so-called love, for a man. What great things can you possibly accomplish?"

"Your words are so harsh. What you call a big deal is not just the Xu family or the company. Instead of making me angry and leaving you without an heir, you should respect my wishes. After all, if I can't get what I want, I won't let you get it."

Xu Qingran did not back down at all. The more moved Ye Yan was by his words, the more heartbroken Lin Anyi was.

In fact, Ye Yan didn't know that the rift between Xu Qingran and his parents was not because of him. He only knew that Xu Qingran used to be a sports student, and he also roughly knew that he had to give up the opportunity to become a professional athlete due to family reasons.

But Xu Qingran never told him that what he gave up was the dream that he was most proud of in his life.

Hearing that their arguing attitude was deviating more and more from the harmony that family members should have, Ye Yan's heart rate, which had been normal for a long time, seemed to suddenly become disordered again. Her face suddenly became ugly and she raised her hand to cover her chest and took a deep breath.

"I know that I didn't let you do what you like back then, and you have a lot of complaints about me and your father. Do you think we want to hurt you? You're the only son of the Xu family, and you were born to inherit the family business. How about this, let's both take a step back and marry a woman who doesn't mind you liking men. Whether it's a verbal agreement or a signed contract, as long as you make the Xu family look good, I promise you that as long as you get married, I'll let you and Ye Yan have a lifelong secret relationship as long as your relationship isn't public. Your grandfather is in poor health, so just think of it as a way for him to spend his later years in good health and not worry him, okay?"

Lin Anyi made the biggest concession. It sounded simple. After all, a sham marriage was the most common solution in that circle. In order to make Xu Qingran compromise, she even brought up Xu Qingran's grandfather, the former chairman of Xu Group, the predecessor of ATIM Group.

Even more unsolvable than moral kidnapping is family kidnapping. This was the first time that Lin Anyi silenced Xu Qingran, because he knew that Ye Yan would never agree to let him be with someone else legitimately.

He was actually silent, and silence meant that he was thinking. Ye Yan looked at his back and felt more and more unwell, and his face instantly lost its color.

"Xu Qingran! What are you hesitating about?"

Ye Yan's cold and ruthless voice suddenly rose from the empty garage, and Xu Qingran's originally tangled thoughts suddenly sounded alarm bells, and he turned around in surprise.

The moment he met Ye Yan's gaze, Xu Qingran realized that he had heard their entire conversation.

"Don't use Grandpa to pressure me. He's an elder, not a tool for you to manipulate me. I still have things to do."

Xu Qingran immediately rejected Lin Anyi without thinking too much. After that, he hung up the phone and ran back to Ye Yan. If he had hesitated for another second, Ye Yan would have asked the driver to drive.

He didn't expect that after blaming himself for a long time, he was still so unreasonable. How hypocritical.

By the time he realized what he had done, Xu Qingran had already gotten into the car and sat next to him and began to explain to him.

"Don't think too much. I hesitated just now because my mother mentioned my grandfather. At that moment, I was thinking, what should I do if my grandfather really gets sick from anger because of me? I wasn't considering the conditions my mother proposed, really."

Xu Qingran still cared about his feelings as much as before, but the difference was that this time, when he was explaining, there was a subtle hint of helplessness on his face.

Ye Yan saw this and wondered if she had gone too far. He was someone's biological grandfather, it would be wrong not to hesitate.

So he immediately hugged Xu Qingran's arm and buried his face in Xu Qingran's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... Maybe I was just too sleepy and a little anxious. If you feel tired, please tell me and don't let me notice it myself."

"How could that be? If I lost you, how could I find another beauty who matched my aesthetic standards? So the things you worry about will never happen. My apology will always come before your temper. In front of you, I am a tyrant."

Xu Qingran said this jokingly, but he was not bragging, he was serious.

Ye Yan made his heart beat so fast that he felt that as long as this person could belong to him for life, it would not be a big deal to go against his selfish family.

In fact, in some ways, he and Ye Yan are the same type of people. Their own feelings always come first. Anyone who tries to stop them must be prepared to suffer losses and then be forced to compromise.

These words touched Ye Yan's heart, and his originally depressed mood instantly turned into a smile on his face.

He looked up and met Xu Qingran's eyes, and in the dim atmosphere of the garage, he brushed his fingertips across Xu Qingran's thin lips.

"It has to be you, otherwise we would have broken up several times already. But I made your mother angry today. If she takes a check for 1 billion and asks me to leave you, what should I do?"

Ye Yan asked half teasingly and half seriously.

This is a very realistic problem. Xu Qingran has actually thought about the 80% chance of it happening.

"Take it, and then we'll split it 40-60, you get 60 and I get 40. That way you don't have to worry about her suing you for blackmail."

Xu Qingran looked at him and raised his eyebrows proudly. He had even considered the possible chain reactions. After being stunned for a moment, Ye Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, let go of him and sat up straight.

"Unfilial son..."

"If you want to be accused of being unfilial, I only admit one thing."

"What?" Ye Yan turned to look at him curiously, and the next second Xu Qingran's hands slowly wrapped around his waist.

"I'm not able to let you give them a grandson..."

The familiar sound of skin touching skin was drowned out by the sound of the engine starting.
