Lu Jinyan and Gu Yuan were both wearing just shirts, without any sweaters or jackets, and their clothes were somewhat disheveled.

Upon seeing Yan Xue, Lu Jinyan’s face showed apparent panic: "Mom, why are you here? You could have asked the housekeeper to bring it directly."

As he spoke, he immediately tidied up the corners of his shirt.

Yan Xue stared at him, dumbfounded, and shockingly discovered—

Her son’s neck had red marks, two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, and the hem was creased, as if it had been pulled...

Looking at Gu Yuan, his hair was slightly messy, his lips were red, there were tiny beads of sweat on his forehead, and his clothes were as wrinkled as Lu Jinyan’s.

Even more than Lu Jinyan, his trouser belt was loosened, with the belt hanging halfway out.

Upon seeing Yan Xue, Gu Yuan was equally flustered: "Aunt, Auntie, why, why are you here? Um, I, I and Jinyan, we..."

Boom—

As if struck by lightning, Yan Xue felt utterly devastated.

Her heart pounded in her chest, her hand slipped, and with a clattering sound, two coffee cups fell to the ground and shattered...

Yan Xue’s eyes widened, her face turned pale in an instant.

She looked at Gu Yuan in shock, then at her own son, back at Gu Yuan, then at her son again...

Several times, she still couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

She raised her hand, pointing at Lu Jinyan, "You, you, you...what are you doing?!"

Gu Yuan appeared very flustered, quickly waving his hands: "No, no, Auntie, it’s really not what you think..."

"Gu Yuan, you should go back first!"

Suddenly, Lu Jinyan sternly interrupted, preventing Gu Yuan, saying, "Let me talk to my mom alone."

Gu Yuan pursed his lips, looking apologetically and wistfully at Lu Jinyan, leaving behind, "Dear, I’m sorry."

The way he said ’Dear, I’m sorry’ was absolutely enchanting.

Boom—

Yan Xue felt her head fill with blood, buzzing, her mind went blank, and the next second her vision went dark, her legs growing weak, almost unable to stand.

Lu Jinyan hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Mom, don’t be angry, Mom, wake up, Mom, hang in there..."

The buzzing in her ears was deafening, Yan Xue was so angry that her chest was churning with fury, ultimately she couldn’t hold on and fainted.

...

When she woke up again, Yan Xue was lying in her bedroom, Lu Jinyan was pinching her acupuncture point, the housekeeper had a servant bring a basin of hot water.

The memory of her last moment before fainting was still vivid.

So, the first thing she did upon waking was look for Gu Yuan.

But Gu Yuan was nowhere to be seen, she frowned, moved her lips, wanting to speak.

Seeing her awake, Lu Jinyan quickly wrung a hot towel, wiped her face, and asked the housekeeper to bring warm water.

After washing her face and drinking water, Yan Xue’s complexion slightly returned.

"Mom, are you feeling better?"

"No!"

Yan Xue glared angrily at her son, grabbed his wrist, urgently asking, "Jinyan, you be honest with me, are, are you...are you..."

She was truly too embarrassed to say that word out loud.

Unexpectedly, her son said it for her. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Mom, you want to ask if your son is gay?" Lu Jinyan squinted his eyes, asking in return.

The housekeeper and servants behind were so shocked they gasped.

Afraid this ’scandal’ would spread, Yan Xue quickly scolded the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, take them all out!"

"Yes."

The housekeeper led the servants away.

Only then did Yan Xue look directly at her son, putting on a serious face, her expression unprecedentedly stern.
