It was as if mustering great courage, Yan Xue took a deep breath and said:

"Jinyan, I’ll ask you once more, you must tell mom honestly, are you really... gay?"

Yan Xue tightly grabbed Lu Jinyan’s arm with both hands, her originally charming eyes anxiously fixed on his handsome face, without a moment’s glance away.

Lu Jinyan pressed his lips, sighed lightly, shook his head, and said: "Mom, I’m worried you can’t handle it, I, I can’t say..."

Hearing his tone, Yan Xue’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose.

Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

But she held onto a fierce determination, as if she couldn’t breathe a sigh of relief without hearing the truth from her son. She tightly grasped his arm and pressed him: "Oh come on, I’ve already seen it, why won’t you just tell the truth?!"

Lu Jinyan lowered his head, his eyes evasive, seemingly hesitating for a long time, and only then slowly lifted his head, giving a slight nod.

Yan Xue’s heart trembled, and the strength in her grip on his hands vanished.

She seemed lost in a daze for a long time.

Not knowing how much time passed, she only snapped back to reality and suddenly burst into loud sobs.

"Oh heavens, Jinyan is the only heir of mine and Zheng Ting’s, how could he... how could he like men? Oh, it’s such a sin, it’s all my fault, I, Yan Xue, have let down the ancestors of the Lu Family, I failed them, how could I have raised my son to be like this... I never should have agreed to let him study piano performance abroad, that’s what led him to get mixed up with that Gu Yuan... it’s all my fault, boo hoo hoo..."

As she bawled, she pounded Lu Jinyan’s chest hysteria, her face full of despairing tears, crying so hard she couldn’t stop sobbing.

Seeing his mother in tears, Lu Jinyan could hardly suppress his laughter, feeling a bit heartbroken at the same time.

Nonetheless, he must endure it.

He hurriedly held Yan Xue back, advising: "Mom, Mom, please don’t be angry, don’t get upset, even if there’s fault, it’s mine. I don’t know why I started liking men either..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xue cried even harder.

"Oh dear, what kind of situation is this, a grown man like you falling for men?"

As she wept, she suddenly wiped her eyes and looked at Lu Jinyan again.

"Right, we should quickly go to the hospital, this kind of condition must be treatable. We’ll go to the Ji Family’s hospital, your Auntie Ji’s hospital must have many excellent psychologists, we’ll get a doctor to hypnotize you and make you like women again... yes, that’s what we’ll do, this will surely work!"

While speaking, Yan Xue lifted the quilt, eager to take Lu Jinyan to see a doctor.

Of course, seeing a doctor would expose the truth, so he couldn’t let it happen.

Lu Jinyan hurriedly seized Yan Xue: "Mom, don’t go look for Auntie Ji, I’ve already seen a doctor, the doctor said there’s no use. Unless—"

Mid-sentence, he deliberately paused.

Seeing him stop short, Yan Xue urgently inquired, "Unless what, hurry and tell me!"

"The doctor said, unless I meet a woman I feel really strongly about, maybe I might still have hope."

"A woman you feel really strongly about?" Yan Xue blinked, hope reigniting in her eyes, "So have you met her?"

He nodded: "Seems like I have."

"Who? Who is she? Tell mom quickly!"

Lu Jinyan frowned and said three words: "My assistant, Wen Duoduo."

What, Wen Duoduo?!

Yan Xue widened her eyes in shock.
