A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Huang Lei was secretly pleased.

This uncle, with such a tense expression and such fervent eyes, is clearly a long-time, die-hard fan.

I guess she bumped into her idol on the plane and was so excited that she lost the ability to organize her thoughts.

Huang Lei smiled kindly.

He nodded to Song's father, giving him a very approachable, celebrity-standard smile.

it is more than words.

I understand everything I understand.

After nodding, Huang Lei walked towards the bathroom with his pregnant belly, completely satisfied.

Song's father was left sitting there.

As Song's father watched his retreating figure, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Is this celebrity crazy?!

He was worried about how to set rules for the wild boar that was trying to rob his cabbage.

Why is that fat guy winking and grinning at me like that?!

Is this kind of overly familiar greeting now the norm in the entertainment industry?

Inside the villa.

The restaurant's enormous crystal chandelier cast a warm yellow light.

A table laden with large pieces of fish and meat, its aroma filling the air.

Teacher He, Deng Chao, and the others were chatting animatedly, their chopsticks flying as they ate with great relish.

Chen Ye was preparing to kill the steamed sea bass.

The phone beside me suddenly started vibrating wildly.

Two words appeared on the screen: Song Yuqi.

Holy crap!

Chen Ye flicked his wrist, and the chopsticks almost flew into Deng Chao's bowl.

"Keep your voice down, Yuqi's checking up on us!"

Chen Ye lowered his voice and immediately jumped up from his chair.

The entire dining table fell silent instantly.

Deng Chao had just bitten into a rib when it fell back into the bowl.

Everyone immediately shut their mouths, even slowing their breathing.

Chen Ye grabbed his phone and dashed towards a guest room on the first floor.

Push the door open, close the door, and lock it from the inside.

With a "smack," the ceiling light on the wall was extinguished.

Chen Ye flopped onto the soft bed and cleared his throat.

The originally clear voice instantly dropped eight octaves, becoming hoarse and tired.

Slide to answer.

"Hey, wife." Chen Ye's voice sounded like he had just carried three hundred bricks at a construction site.

On the other end of the video call, Song Yuqi had just finished taking a shower.

She was wearing fluffy pajamas, and her hair was still half-dry.

"Honey, are you busy?" Song Yuqi looked at the dark screen, her face full of confusion. "Why didn't you turn on the light?"

"No, I just dozed off in the car for a bit."

Chen Ye turned over, his voice weak. "I just got to the hotel, I felt dizzy, so I lay down without turning on the light."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing much, I just missed you."

Song Yuqi smiled sweetly.

Then she looked at Chen Ye's tired face, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Honey, are you very tired?"

"It's alright." Chen Ye rubbed his temples and immediately shifted the blame to Wang Zhengyu. "It's just that old bastard Wang is really inhuman."

"We've been recording since yesterday. The schedule is so packed that even the donkeys in the production team would have to buy standing tickets and run away overnight."

"This is really torturous," Chen Ye sighed.

Song Yuqi burst out laughing when she heard Chen Ye's complaint.

"That's just how Director Wang is, he wouldn't be him if he didn't torment you."

She leaned closer to the screen and carefully examined Chen Ye.

"Eat something good today to nourish yourself! We're coming to L Prefecture to find you tomorrow!"

"Okay." Chen Ye's lips curled up, but his tone remained listless. "Call me when you arrive tomorrow."

"Then you should get some rest, honey!"

Song Yuqi is very sensible. "Brother Chen and the others are calling me downstairs to go get some late-night snacks, I'm going now, love you!"

"I love you too."

The call ended. The screen went dark.

Chen Ye suddenly sat up in the darkness.

Tired? Not at all.

Now he can run five kilometers without even getting out of breath.

He pushed open the door and walked back to the dining room.

The people at the table had almost finished eating.

After all, everyone was saving their appetites, because they would have to have another welcome dinner with Chen Ye's tough father-in-law when he landed around nine o'clock.

Chen Ye pulled out a chair and sat down, just as he picked up his bowl.

Across from them, Mr. and Mrs. Chen put down their chopsticks.

The elderly couple exchanged a knowing glance.

"Xiao Ye." Chen Ma wiped her hands and stood up. "Come here with me and your uncle for a moment."

With that, Chen Ma turned and walked directly towards the study next to the living room.

I also took her handbag.

Chen Ye was stunned for a moment.

He bit his chopsticks and looked at Deng Chao and Teacher He.

Everyone was completely baffled.

But Deng Chao reacted very quickly. He immediately stood up and snatched the rice bowl from Chen He's hand.

"Come on, everyone's finished eating, right? Everyone, help clear the table, don't let the uncles and aunties do it!" Deng Chao began to direct the whole group.

Sun Li also stood up with a smile.

"Ono, you go quickly, leave this to us."

Chen Ye was full of questions, so he put down his chopsticks and followed.

I entered the study.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen were already seated on the sofa.

Chen Ye closed the door behind him and sat down on the single sofa opposite him.

"What's wrong, Aunt? Uncle?" Chen Ye touched his nose. "Has something happened to Yuqi's parents?"

Could it be that the father-in-law had already threatened to kill him at the airport before he even got off the plane?

Chen's mother looked at Chen Ye.

The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes concealed an extreme tenderness.

She and Mr. Chen exchanged another glance.

"Yuqi's parents are doing well, you don't need to worry about them," Chen's mother said calmly.

She took a thick file folder out of her bag and placed it on the coffee table.

"Your uncle and I recently picked out a large penthouse for you in Tomson Riviera in Shanghai."

Chen's mother pushed the file bag towards Chen Ye.

"Over 400 square meters, paid in full, and the property certificate is in your name."

A single, casual remark.

Chen Ye's mind went blank.

Shanghai? Tomson Riviera? 400 square meters?

This must be worth hundreds of millions!

"No, Aunt, this..." Chen Ye jumped up and waved his hands repeatedly.

"This is too valuable, I can't accept it!" Chen Ye exclaimed anxiously. "I have enough money to live on now! I don't need a house!"

Chen Ye really didn't dare to accept it. Although his parents weren't short of more than 100 million yuan, he couldn't take it.

"Sit down!" Aunt Chen frowned, exuding an imposing aura.

Chen Ye, like a primary school student being called on by his homeroom teacher, obediently tucked his butt back into the sofa.

"Don't be so quick to refuse." Chen's mother looked at Chen Ye, her tone softening. "You've been with our family since you were little. Your uncle and I have truly treated you like our own son."

"We have never shown the slightest favoritism towards you or towards that fat bastard Chen He."

Outside the study.

Chen He, who was carrying a stack of plates toward the kitchen, suddenly sneezed loudly without warning.

"I know you're successful now, you have money, and you lack nothing." Chen's mother's eyes reddened slightly. "But this house, your uncle and I already reserved it for you last year."

Chen Ma sniffed.

"You know, when your brother got married, we bought him a house."

"They're both sons I raised. What your brother has, you can't lack!"

Chen Ma's voice carried an undeniable firmness.

Chen Ye sat on the sofa.

My throat felt tight. My eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Chen's father, who hadn't said a word until now, also sighed.

"Xiao Ye," Chen's father's voice was deep and resonant. "You're twenty-six now, the age to settle down and start a family."

Chen's father looked at his nephew, whom he had watched grow up since he was a child.

"You've always been stubborn and strong-willed since you were little, and you've never wanted to cause us any trouble."

"After I became an adult, I never asked my family for a single penny. I focused on writing songs and earning money on my own."

Mr. Chen pointed outside. "Now they're buying a villa and a car for the family."

"You're almost ready to propose now." Mr. Chen smiled, deep wrinkles appearing at the corners of his eyes. "Your aunt and I have no regrets in this life."

"When we close our eyes and go down to the afterlife, it will be a perfect ending for your biological parents who passed away early."

Chen Ye lowered his head.

Tears fell uncontrollably onto the back of my hand, large drops falling in each one.

He bit his lip, suppressing the sob in his throat.

"Alright." Seeing Chen Ye's tears, Chen's mother wiped her own eyes. "When you got married, your uncle and I prepared some special gifts for you and Yuqi, but we won't tell you about them now."

Chen Ye raised his head and nodded vigorously.

"You're twenty-six years old, about to become someone's husband, and you're still crying and whining like this!" Aunt Chen pretended to be angry.

"After you get married, you must treat Yuqi well. It's your blessing that her daughter is willing to be with you. Don't do anything foolish, understand?"

"I understand!" Chen Ye wiped his face and dried his tears.

"Alright, alright, stop explaining this to Ono." Chen's father stood up and patted his trouser leg. "This kid knows what he's doing; he's not that blockhead Chen He."

Chen's mother nodded, stood up, and followed Chen's father out the door.

"Keep this property certificate safe. When you pick up Yuqi's parents tonight, behave well," Chen's mother reminded her before leaving.

The door closed.

Chen Ye was left alone in the study.

He slumped onto the sofa, staring at the thick file folder on the coffee table.

It feels so good to be loved without reservation.

He closed his eyes and paused for a full five minutes.

Suppress the overwhelming emotion surging in my heart completely.

When Chen Ye opened his eyes again, his gaze became incredibly determined.

tomorrow.

He was determined to give Song Yuqi the perfect proposal, and absolutely could not afford any mistakes.

Grabbing the file folder, Chen Ye opened the door and went out.

In the living room, everyone had already cleaned the dining table spotlessly.

Everyone was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

Hearing the door open, everyone turned to look.

Seeing Chen Ye's obviously red and swollen eyes and the file bag in his hand, everyone in the industry was shrewd and no one asked a single question.

Sun Li handed her a tissue.

Teacher He patted the sofa next to him, gesturing for him to sit down.

Chen Ye twitched the corner of his mouth and stuffed the file bag into his bag.

He took out his phone and glanced at the time.

8:20.

"Go wash your face." Chen's mother came out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of freshly washed cherries. "After you wash your face, hurry to the garage, drive the car, and pick up your parents-in-law from the airport."

"It's almost time, don't keep the elderly couple waiting for us after they get off the plane."

Chen Ye nodded. He immediately turned and went to the first-floor restroom.

I splashed my face hard with cold water.

My eyes were still a little red in the mirror, but it didn't look too bad anymore.

After drying himself off, Chen Ye quickly walked to the entrance, picked up his car keys, and changed his shoes.

Just as he was about to push the door open and leave.

Chen He, who was sprawled on the sofa picking his teeth, suddenly jumped up like a spring.

"Brother!" Chen He rushed over with an air of utter indifference. "Wait for me!"

Chen Ye gripped the doorknob, looking at the fat man warily.

What are you doing?

"What for?" Chen He snatched the car keys from Chen Ye's hand with a matter-of-fact air. "I'm going with you!"

"What are you going to do?" Chen Ye asked with disdain.

"Nonsense!" Chen He patted his chest. "You're going to pick up that iron-faced devil—no, your father-in-law—by yourself. What if you're so embarrassed in the car that you've dug out a three-bedroom apartment?"

Chen He pushed open the door and swaggered out.

"With your brother here, the atmosphere is guaranteed to be lively! I'm your strongest shield!"

Chen Ye watched Chen He's plump back.

..........

P.S.: I'm not trying to keep you guys in suspense. I had a terrible headache yesterday and was also having writer's block. I was thinking about how to make the proposal more romantic!

Thank you to my brothers and sisters for the gifts, I am so grateful!
