Chapter 912: Important Announcement
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone sat around the dining table. They were all one big family, so there were no small talks.
The Old Madam picked up her chopsticks. She was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, she reminded Fu Tingyan, “Yan, eat more. It’s been a long time since you’ve eaten the food cooked by the chef in the old house.”
“Grandma, I know. You eat your food. I’m not an outsider.” Fu Tingyan picked up his chopsticks and looked at the food in front of him. He saw what Bo ye liked to eat, so he put some into her bowl. “Eat more. You need to put on more weight.”
The Old Madam liked Bo Ye quite a lot. She also knew that her grandson was very good to his friends, so she didn’t mind.
Fu Tingyu and Qin Shu, who were sitting opposite each other, couldn’t turn a blind eye even if they wanted to. Fu Tingyan’s words sounded a little too ambiguous to them.
You need to put on more weight?
How did he know of it if he hadn’t seen it?
How did he know of it if he hadn’t touched Bo Ye’s body?
Bo Ye felt the gazes from the two people opposite her. No matter how calm and composed she was, she couldn’t help but turn her head and say to Fu Tingyan, “Don’t worry about me. Eat your own food.”
Fu Tingyan ignored her words. “You just eat whatever I give you.”
Then, he continued to put food into Bo Ye’s bowl.
Xiao Jiu knew that Fu Tingyan had returned from learning martial arts. He took a small bite of his rice and said, “Uncle, can you teach me martial arts after dinner?”
Fu Tingyan smiled and said, “Yes. After dinner, we’ll go to the backyard.”
Halfway through dinner, Fu Tingyan felt that it was necessary to say something at this time. He raised his head to look at the Old Madam and Fu Tingyu. “Oh right, Grandma, and big bro, I have something to say today.”
Qin Shu stopped chewing and raised her leg to kick her husband’s foot.
“Look, Fu Tingyan is going to make the announcement,” said Qin Shu inwardly.
Fu Tingyu looked at his younger brother opposite him and waited for him to continue.
The Old Madam said, “Yan if there’s anything, we can talk after lunch. There’s no rush.”
In order to make the Old Madam and his brother pay attention to this matter, Fu Tingyan deliberately emphasized his tone, “Grandma, this matter is very important, so I want to say it now so that you can be prepared.”
In the end, he didn’t forget to give the Old Madam a prior warning.
It was the first time the Old Madam had seen her grandson so serious, and she wanted her to be mentally prepared. She was a little curious about what her grandson wanted to say.
In order to respect her grandson, she put down the chopsticks in her hands. “Yan has grown up and has something important to say. Go ahead, your brother and I are listening.”
Before saying anything, Fu Tingyan glanced at Fu Tingyu across from him and realized that he had been looking at him. He couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. After all, coming out of the closet was not a small matter.
For this reason, he even went to the internet to look up some things about coming out of the closet. It could be said that there was only a 5% chance that a family that could accept coming out of the closet. Even though it was a free world and people didn’t care about coming out of the closet as much, but some families were still bothered by it.
Some people were kicked out of their homes and their bank cards were frozen because they came out of the closet. While others were accepted by their families.
Fu Tingyan had been preparing a whole year for this moment.
He wanted to let Bo Ye know that he could come out of the closet or not care about other people’s thoughts.
This was also the reason why he wanted Bo Ye to come home with him.
Seeing that Fu Tingyu didn’t show any other expressions, he retracted his gaze and said, “Grandma, I like Bo Ye.”
The Old Madam didn’t think too much about it. “I know that you have a good relationship with Bo Ye. I also like Bo Ye.”
Qin Shu also stopped eating and looked at Fu Tingyan’s confession in front of everyone. Although it was within her expectations, she was still a little surprised.
Fu Tingyu frowned and still didn’t say anything.
Bo Ye had just eaten a mouthful of rice when he heard Fu Tingyan’s words. She didn’t know whether to swallow or spit the rice in his mouth. She was left in an awkward position.
Fu Tingyan explained again, “Grandma, when I say I like Bo Ye, I meant that I want to be with him for the rest of my life, just like big brother and sister-in-law.”
“Oh.” The Old Madam was old and her reaction was a little slow. She seemed to have suddenly thought of something and stared at Fu Tingyan with widened eyes. “What did you say? You and Bo Ye, you’re both men. How can you be together?”
Bo Ye did not expect Fu Tingyan to suddenly come out of the closet. He did not even discuss it with her.
It was also at this time that she understood what he meant when he said that she should be mentally prepared.
She grabbed Fu Tingyan’s hand and explained to the Old Madam, “Grandma, he was joking, you don’t have to believe him.”
“Oh, I knew it, how can two men be right? So it was a joke, it scared me to death.” The Old Madam was really shocked and only then did she relax.
Fu Tingyan turned his head to look at Bo Ye. He didn’t know whether he was disappointed or not by her reaction. In any case, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He ignored Bo Ye because no matter what Bo Ye thought, he had already made up his mind.
“Grandma, I’m not joking. I’m making it official today.”
The Old Madam was stunned for a long time before she asked, “What do you mean?”
Fu Tingyan held Bo Ye’s hand tightly and repeated, “Because I like Bo Ye. I want to be with him for the rest of my life, which means that we will get married.”
“But, you are also a man. How can a man and a man … be married?” The Old Madam didn’t know what to say. She turned her head to look at Fu Tingyu, “Little Yu, tell him that men and men can not be together.”
Fu Tingyu tried to comfort the Old Madam. “Grandma, let’s eat first. I’ll talk to Yan later.”
The Old Madam was slightly relieved when her eldest grandson spoke. However, she had lost her appet.i.te.
Fu Tingyan looked at his brother, Fu Tingyu. His expression was not good either. This was all within his expectations, so he was mentally prepared.
Bo Ye looked down at the rice bowl in front of her. She too had lost her appet.i.te.
After lunch, Xiao Jiu originally wanted to practice martial arts with his uncle. Seeing that the Old Madam was unhappy, he held her hand and walked into the courtyard. “Grandma, after lunch, you have to walk to digest your food. It’s good for your health.”
“Xiao Jiu is so sensible. Let’s take a walk with Grandma.” The Old Madam’s heart softened when she saw Xiao Jiu. The grandma and grandson held hands and walked to the backyard.
At this time, only Fu Tingyu, Qin Shu, Fu Tingyan, and Bo Ye were left in the living room.
Fu Tingyu and Qin Shu sat at the head seat and looked at them without saying a word.
Fu Tingyan and Bo Ye stood in the middle of the living room with their backs straight.
In the living room, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The atmosphere was a little tense because of Fu Tingyu’s aura.
After a moment of silence, Fu Tingyu’s voice was a little cold. “Say what you said at the dinner table again.”
Fu Tingyan straightened his back and said one sentence after another, “I like Bo Ye just like how you like my sister-in-law. I want to be with him for the rest of my life.”
Fu Tingyu asked again, “When did you start liking men?”
He had watched his younger brother grow up. If he really liked men, he should be able to tell a little.
Fu Tingyan explained, “I only like Bo Ye. It just so happens that he’s a man. I’m not interested in other men at all.”
Bo Ye turned his head to look at Fu Tingyan.. She pursed her lips, and complicated emotions welled up in his eyes.
