TCBHIWAF Chapter 93

Chapter 93: When to Confess Our Relationship?

Bai Shiya seemed like she wanted to persuade him further, but Lin Yu quickly interrupted.

“Mom, it’s rare for you to come, have some breakfast first. Aunt Zhang makes it pretty good. Let’s eat and chat, don’t just focus on talking about this.”

Bai Shiya looked at Shen Qianqian, whose eyes were red-rimmed, feeling a pang of sympathy. She turned her gaze to Lin Yu again, continuing to urge, “Yu, look at Qianqian. Her heart is completely devoted to you. Can’t you consider it?”

“Mom, I’ve already made myself very clear.”

Seeing that Lin Yu was still unmoved, Bai Shiya sighed helplessly and turned to Ye Xingchen.

“Xingchen, you’ve grown up with Yu since you were little. You two have a relationship as good as real brothers. You also know that his dad’s health hasn’t been very good. He’s hoping to see him settle down and start a family soon, but he’s just so careless about his own life events. Please help Auntie persuade him.”

Hearing these words, Ye Xingchen felt a mix of emotions in his heart, like a tangled mess.

He put on a calm front, but his heart was already in turmoil.

He deeply loved Lin Yu, so how could he persuade Lin Yu to accept someone else?

But faced with Auntie Bai’s request, he couldn’t directly refuse.

Seeing this, Lin Yu’s heart clenched. He quickly said, “Mom, what are you saying? I’ve already made it very clear that I really don’t want to think about these things right now.”

As he spoke, he gently touched Ye Xingchen’s leg under the table, trying to soothe him.

Lin Yu knew Ye Xingchen too well, knowing that his love for him carried a bit of obsession, and was afraid that he would suddenly lose control of his emotions because of these words.

Ye Xingchen felt Lin Yu’s touch, slightly startled. He turned his head to look at Lin Yu, and from Lin Yu’s anxious eyes, he understood the other’s worry.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm the emotions in his heart, and slowly said, “Auntie, it’s really not good for outsiders to interfere in matters of the heart. Since Yu has his own ideas, it’s better to respect his decision.

His career is at a critical stage right now. Let him focus on work first, and then consider his life events later. Maybe he’ll meet someone more suitable.”

Hearing Ye Xingchen’s words, Lin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a grateful look.

Bai Shiya’s face showed a trace of helplessness when she heard Ye Xingchen say this.

“Sigh, I really understand less and less what you young people are thinking. Forget it, forget it, let’s eat first.”

The atmosphere at the dining table was still a bit heavy. Shen Qianqian lowered her head and silently drank her porridge, occasionally secretly glancing at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu, on the other hand, secretly observed Ye Xingchen’s expression from time to time, planning how to explain things clearly to Ye Xingchen later, so as to avoid any misunderstandings.

And Ye Xingchen, on the surface, focused on eating, but his thoughts had already drifted far away. His mind was full of Lin Yu and Shen Qianqian’s affairs, as well as Bai Shiya’s words just now, and his mood was extremely complicated.

After finishing breakfast, Bai Shiya suggested with a smile, “Today is Saturday, everyone is free, let’s go to the manor in the suburbs together.”

Shen Qianqian immediately nodded in agreement, “Okay, it’s been a long time since we went, it will definitely be fun.”

Lin Yu frowned tightly, his attitude resolute: “Mom, I have other arrangements today, I can’t go.”

Bai Shiya was stunned, the smile on her face disappeared, and she questioned, “What arrangement is more important than accompanying Qianqian? Tell me, what are you thinking? You haven’t been in a relationship for so many years, how long are you going to drag this on?”

Lin Yu took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm: “Mom, dating isn’t something you can just do casually, I don’t want to settle.”

At this moment, Bai Shiya glanced at Ye Xingchen, her face full of envy.

“Look at Xingchen, he’s only one year older than you, and he already has a fiancee. You’re already 26, not young anymore, and you haven’t even been in one relationship. How long do you want us elders to worry?”

Ye Xingchen was named, his heart tightened, but he didn’t know how to respond.

Bai Shiya turned her head again, staring at Lin Yu.

“You said you don’t like Qianqian, then who do you like? Give me a reason, as long as what you say makes sense, I won’t force you in the future.”

Lin Yu opened his mouth, almost blurting out his feelings for Ye Xingchen, but the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back.

He looked at Ye Xingchen, his eyes full of tangled feelings and helplessness, and ultimately said nothing.

Seeing that Lin Yu was silent, Bai Shiya assumed that he was in the wrong and became even more aggressive.

“Take a look at Qianqian, what is she not good enough for? If you don’t know how to cherish her, don’t regret it later.”

Lin Yu gritted his teeth, still insisting, “Mom, feelings can’t be forced, I don’t want to go.”

Bai Shiya was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and shouted loudly, “Why is this child so stubborn! You have to go today, and give me and Qianqian an explanation.”

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and Shen Qianqian stood aside, her face turning red and white, extremely embarrassed.

Ye Xingchen looked at the stalemate, his heart filled with mixed feelings, both worried about Lin Yu and annoyed by Bai Shiya’s words.

Just when the situation was at an impasse, Ye Xingchen saw Lin Yu’s tangled expression, and realizing that it was obviously not a good time to reveal his feelings, he took the initiative to break the deadlock: “Yu, let’s go have some fun.”

Hearing this, Lin Yu was both surprised and worried, afraid that Ye Xingchen would feel unhappy, and quickly said, “Then you come with me.”

Seeing that Lin Yu finally agreed, Bai Shiya immediately beamed with joy.

“Let’s go, let’s all go together.”

Two cars slowly drove away from the villa.

Leading the way was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, followed closely by a Maybach Pullman.

Ye Xingchen sat in the driver’s seat of the Maybach Pullman, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, his eyes focused but faintly showing annoyance.

Lin Yu sat in the passenger seat, his heart pounding like a rabbit, uneasy.

He secretly glanced at Ye Xingchen, saw the other’s gloomy face, and quickly opened his mouth to break the silence:

“Xingchen, don’t be angry, I really didn’t expect my mom to pull such a stunt today, and even brought Qianqian along. I definitely don’t have any other thoughts about her.”

Ye Xingchen bit his lip, his lips tightly pursed into a line, the hand holding the steering wheel so forceful that his knuckles turned white, but he still didn’t say a word.

Lin Yu became even more anxious, his voice tinged with a sob: “Xingchen, don’t ignore me, you know that from beginning to end, there’s only you in my heart.”

Ye Xingchen then slowly turned his head to look at Lin Yu, his red-rimmed eyes filled with pain and helplessness.

“Then when exactly do you plan to confess our relationship to Uncle and Auntie? If we keep hiding like this, how long can we hide it? Do we have to deal with this kind of suddenly popping up blind date every time?”

Lin Yu’s expression dimmed, he lowered his head, and after a long silence, slowly said, “I also want to make it clear, but… I’m afraid my parents won’t be able to accept it for a while.”

“But I swear, I will definitely find an appropriate time to make things clear, and won’t let us continue to be in this ambiguous state.”

Ye Xingchen sighed softly, his gaze returning to the rear of the Rolls-Royce Phantom in front of them.

He slowly increased the throttle, and the car steadily followed forward, but the oppressive atmosphere between the two of them hung over them like a haze, lingering for a long time.
