Chapter 149 - If You Kiss Me
“Do you know anything about this?” Hee Jingyan pressed him for answers.
Yet, following his inquiry, Hee Bingwei abruptly changed his demeanor and chuckled, “Where's my daughter-in-law? Is she around? Call her over.”
This abrupt shift in mood darkened Hee Jingyan's expression. His father's whimsical nature allowed him considerable freedom, which complicated matters when Loong Shen instructed him to seek information from Hee Bingwei, often leading to confrontations. Additionally, Loong Shen's peculiar reaction to the term ‘teacher' stemmed from Hee Bingwei's unpredictable behavior.
Despite his displeasure, Hee Jingyan felt unsettled upon hearing Hee Bingwei's question about his wife, Xu Yangyi, whom he had not yet introduced to his family.
Xu Yangyi, busy with his studies nearby, noticed Hee Jingyan's intense gaze but remained silent, trying to communicate something non-verbally.
Xu Yangyi kept quiet, knowing it was inappropriate to interject while Hee Jingyan was on the call, unaware that he was speaking with his father-in-law.
“Are you there?” Hee Bingwei repeated, seeking a response from Hee Jingyan.
Hee Jingyan, instead of responding directly, quickly interjected, “Have you been bothering my daughter-in-law? Put him on the phone,” to which Hee Bingwei responded with delight.
Hearing the mention of ‘daughter-in-law', Xu Yangyi froze, then grasped the situation, filling him with dread.
A daughter-in-law? Does that mean Hee Jingyan’s father is my father-in-law?
When Hee Jingyan referred to him as his father-in-law, Xu Yangyi was consistently coherent, though it’s unclear if he realized. Panicked, he gestured frantically to Hee Jingyan, urging him to deny his presence to avoid revealing his gender.
Though Hee Jingyan couldn't let Xu Yangyi take the call, seeing Xu Yangyi so unnerved was unfamiliar to him, prompting him not to disclose Xu's absence but instead say, “He's right here.”
Upon hearing Hee Jingyan’s claim, Xu Yangyi was momentarily paralyzed, but quickly regained his composure and kicked Hee Jingyan, signaling him to deny his presence.
“Damn it! Is something wrong with this man?” Xu Yangyi thought, fearing that answering the call would unveil his true identity.
Aware of Xu Yangyi’s anxiety, Hee Jingyan leaned in and provocatively whispered, “Darling, give me a kiss, and I'll retract my statement,” teasing Xu Yangyi wickedly.
Shocked by Hee Jingyan’s brazen request, Xu Yangyi grimaced and muttered threateningly, “Are you trying to get kicked to death, uncle?”
“A kiss? No way in hell.”
Xu Yangyi was resolute, but Hee Jingyan casually shrugged, as if to say, “Then you'll have to take the call.”
Realizing Hee Jingyan was serious, Xu Yangyi panicked. He could not bring himself to kiss Hee Jingyan under any circumstances, even if it risked blowing his cover again. What was he to do?
