Chapter 1814: Chapter 63: Confession, Crazy, He’s My Boyfriend_2

In the end, the very thing they’d been afraid of showed up: Zeyan just nodded.

"I already have a girlfriend."

One table of people, three kinds of reactions:

Jiang Ruan and Fu Chen, the married couple, naturally weren’t that shocked, just a little nervous deep down;

Jiang Mutang and Qi Lie were about to pass out; Qi Lie was still gnawing on a salt-and-pepper spare rib, and all of a sudden it didn’t taste good anymore. Was the guy crazy? Where’d he get that kind of guts?

As for Jiang Chengsi and the others, they were just here to eat melon and watch the show; people are mostly interested in this kind of thing, always wanting to gossip a bit.

Right now, Jiang Chengsi had no idea that this little melon-eating session was going to end with his own house collapsing.

He was even joking around with a grin:

"Where’s the girl from? Who would’ve thought, you already have a girlfriend."

"She’s from Beijing." Zeyan said it straight.

"Beijing?" Jiang Chengsi suddenly understood. "No wonder it’s almost year-end and instead of staying at HQ you keep running off to Beijing. So it’s not to visit your sister, it’s to see your girlfriend, huh?"

"Mm."

"What does the girl do?"

"She’s still a student."

"Then if she hasn’t graduated, she should be on winter break now, and it’s still up in the air where she’ll work in the future. You two really need to talk this through; so many couples break up at graduation because they end up working in different places." Jiang Chengsi was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart that Zeyan had someone.

"I’ll be careful."

"But if you meet someone you like, you’ve got to hold on tight."

...

The more Zeyan talked, the more nervous Jiang Ruan became, while Jiang Mutang and Qi Lie were almost scared to death.

Zeyan had to be out of his mind, what the hell was he doing—and right after that came something even more jaw-dropping for the two of them.

"How long have you two been together? Do her family know?" Si Yushan pressed.

"My parents have both met her."

Jiang Mutang and Qi Lie turned to look at Jiang Ruan in unison:

She’d already met the Yan Family?

Then Zeyan’s sister and brother-in-law...

The two of them checked the expressions on Fu Chen and Jiang Ruan’s faces again; they didn’t seem all that shocked by what Zeyan was saying.

The pair of them instantly thought, this is bad.

Qi Lie put down his chopsticks, picked up his drink, and took a couple sips:

His heart kept pounding all over the place, eyelids twitching like crazy; he had a really bad feeling.

"This really deserves a toast." Jiang Chengsi said as he filled his own glass to the brim. "Let’s all drink together."

Even Jiang Ruan hadn’t expected her dad to be this happy; her headache was getting worse.

Jiang Mutang’s head started hurting again. You could tell Fourth Uncle was sincerely congratulating Zeyan—wasn’t this about to blow up into something huge? And he wanted everyone to raise a glass together?

Total insanity.

No wonder Father and the other uncles were always saying, sometimes Fourth Uncle...

Just doesn’t use his brain!

"Thanks." Zeyan also raised his glass. After everyone downed a drink, the conversation circled back to his girlfriend.

Those who didn’t know anything were obviously curious, especially the Si Family twins, who even started whispering privately:

"Who could be that blind, actually getting together with him."

"Is that big sis just thirsty for his body, thirsty for his face, totally bewitched by him."

"I still haven’t forgotten him handing me those test papers. Living with such a boring person, wouldn’t that drive you insane?"

"Let’s have three seconds of silence for that big sis."

...

**

Lots of people don’t like talking about their other half, especially young people.

When parents ask, they feel like their parents are meddling too much, so they dodge and deflect, refusing to reveal even half a sentence, unwilling to tell them anything. So with Zeyan being this blunt, naturally everyone wanted to know more.

"Xiaochi, since you already brought that girl home, what did your parents say?" Si Yushan asked again.

Zeyan: "My parents both like her a lot."

"Even your dad likes her? That means the girl’s really something." Jiang Chengsi laughed. He’d interacted with Zeyan’s father before, so he knew very well what a difficult person that was—if even he liked the girl, that really said something.

"Mm." Zeyan nodded, glanced at Jiang Ruan across the table. "She really is great."

Jiang Ruan lowered her head and stayed silent.

Seeing this, Jiang Mutang and Qi Lie honestly wanted to bolt.

In the middle of dinner, with everyone staring, what was this?

A live public confession?

Jiang Chengsi chuckled. "What a pity. I’d originally thought, since you’re so outstanding, I have plenty of little girl cousins around me, maybe I could introduce you to one. Looks like there’s no chance now."

Jiang Chengsi was just talking offhand. Even if there were girls the right age, their parents probably wouldn’t want them marrying far away to Nanjiang.

"Fourth Master, you really think highly of Zeyan?" Fu Chen coughed lightly.

He picked up his hoe and quietly started digging a pit.

"Of course. His excellence is obvious to everyone. Even though he’s based in Nanjiang year-round, I’ve heard plenty of people praise him. His looks and ability are both top-notch; a child raised by Mr. Yan wouldn’t be anything but good. And besides, with you as his brother-in-law backing him up, his future’s limitless..."

Jiang Chengsi genuinely thought Zeyan was impressive; he was telling the truth, though adding some flattery.

When it’s someone else’s kid, you mostly focus on praise.

On this kind of topic, who’s going to start criticizing Zeyan in front of his family?

Fu Chen smiled. "Sounds like you really are fond of Zeyan."

"Obviously. Otherwise when I saw him, I wouldn’t have pulled him over to eat at my place. If my two sons could be half as outstanding as he is in the future, I’d be thrilled. Too bad I don’t have that kind of son; my two boys are just a headache."

There was definitely a lot of social nicety mixed into what Jiang Chengsi said.

But Fu Chen followed up with a line that froze him:

"Everyone’s different. Your two young masters will definitely choose their own paths in the future; they don’t have to be like Zeyan. But..."

"If you want a son like Zeyan, it’s not impossible."

Jiang Mutang and Qi Lie both sucked in a breath.

This brother-in-law was even scarier than Zeyan when he opened his mouth!

Jiang Chengsi paused for a second, then laughed. "Third Master, you really know how to joke. I can’t exactly go and make Zeyan my godson, can I? Even if I’m willing, Zeyan might not be. Wouldn’t I be taking a huge advantage? Plus, he calls me Fourth Brother right now—if I suddenly become his godfather, wouldn’t that mess everything up?"

He thought Fu Chen was just joking, but Fu Chen set his chopsticks down and said seriously:

"If you want to make him your son, being his godfather isn’t the only route."

Everyone: "..."

Pretty much everyone present was sharp as a tack. If Qi Zeyan said this kind of thing, you could brush it off as a joke. But Third Master Fu was absolutely not the type to run his mouth, nor to make random jokes like that.

There’s nothing funny about that kind of joke; handle it poorly and it just gets awkward. Fu Chen was not someone who’d be that rude.

Everyone looked at each other, as if they could all smell something off in the air.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad—"

Jiang Ruan, who’d been silent this whole time, suddenly spoke up, making everyone’s hearts lurch.

A faint sense of doom swept through them, especially Jiang Chengsi...

Zeyan’s girlfriend:

From Beijing. A student... Everything he’d let slip so far matched his own daughter completely.

The two of them had taken the same flight, returning to Beijing together.

In that instant, almost everyone guessed what was going on; now they just needed confirmation.

"There’s something I’ve wanted to tell you all for a while now..." Jiang Ruan had been feeling a bit nervous, but once she started talking, her courage actually grew—might as well rip off the band-aid. "I’m dating someone at school."

"We’ll talk about your situation later." Jiang Chengsi tried to stop her.

He was terrified of hearing the one thing he dreaded the most, afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself and would just kick Zeyan out on the spot.

"Dad—" Jiang Ruan bit her lip.

"Let her talk." Si Yushan was sitting straight, face equally serious. "You’re dating someone, and then?"

"Zeyan is my boyfriend."

Jiang Ruan’s voice was light as a feather—but she dropped a deep-water bomb right in the middle of the dinner table.

It instantly scorched everyone, outside and in, leaving them all at a loss.

Jiang Mutang and Qi Lie sighed in unison; only two words echoed in their hearts:

We’re doomed!

There was no way the two of them could dodge this. Qi Lie took a sip of his drink and honestly wanted to burst into song:

I want to cry, but the tears won’t come—
