Special Effects Pheromone - Chap 29
After leaving Qu Jing’s house, Yu Zhao returned to his own home, feeling unexpectedly uneasy.
He had just “come home”…
Upon returning home, Yu Zhao felt confined — he never realized how much he disliked coming home. Going to the company or returning home made no difference to him; neither was relaxing nor enjoyable, but neither was it tense nor exciting.
Now, there was an inexplicable sense of fatigue.
As soon as he got home, he went straight to his room, feeling a bit more secure once inside. His room was a suite with a private bathroom. When he was younger, he could stay in his room all day. As he got older, he could choose to work overtime at the company or attend social events, and the suite became a place for Yu Zhao to wash up and rest.
He had always been satisfied with this place.
However, now, after taking a shower and lying on his own bed, he found himself missing Qu Jing’s pillow.
Unprovoked nostalgia.
Closing his eyes, he forced himself to sleep early; after all, he had to go to work the next day.
Early the next morning, Yu Zhao got up as usual, went downstairs after freshening up, and joined the daily required breakfast — this breakfast was like a morning meeting for Yu Zhao. He felt uncomfortable and thought it was meaningless, but he had to participate.
Fortunately, today he had something to announce.
He said to Yu Hai, “father, speaking of which, I mentioned to you before—”
“Hmm?” Yu Hai frowned, trying to remember. Looking at his eldest son’s face, he couldn’t recall what significant event he had mentioned, so he asked, “Is it about signing the contract with Fenglong Group?”
“Oh, no, not that,” Yu Zhao quickly said, “It’s about finding time to meet Qu’s parents.”
Yu Hai’s face showed a hint of uneasiness and apologized, “Oh, right… there was such a thing. Look, I completely forgot.”
Duan Keyi and Yu Yong, sitting at the dining table, both had subtle changes in their expressions.
Duan Keyi smiled and said, “Your dad was busy! I’ve already met your future mother-in-law last time. Hehe.”
Yu Zhao said, “In that case, next time, let father go meet them.”
Duan Keyi hurriedly said, “How can that be allowed? It would make me seem indifferent. I think, next time we meet, it should be a family gathering, and we should bring Yong along.”
Thinking about such a scene gave Yu Zhao a headache, but he still nodded and said, “It depends on whether Yong has the time.”
Yu Yong smiled, “Of course, I’ll make time. After all, you’re my big brother!”
“Good.” Yu Zhao said, “Let’s settle it this way. Let’s see when father has time.”
Yu Hai did recall that Yu Zhao had mentioned meeting parents before, but at that time, he was about to go on a business trip, and after returning, he forgot about it. Putting aside other matters, this was, after all, his son’s lifelong event, and he felt a bit sorry. Now, he became a bit nervous and picked up his planner to check, saying, “Let’s see… next Wednesday! How about next Wednesday night? You can go and ask their parents.”
“Okay,” Yu Zhao nodded, “Let’s tentatively set it for then.”
Duan Keyi’s attitude towards Yu Zhao’s marriage was complex. He neither liked the idea of Yu Zhao, the “bastard,” flaunting in front of him nor liked the thought of him finding an excellent husband and leaving the family in glory. In his imagination, the best scenario was for Yu Zhao to be kicked out of the house, the more miserable, the better.
After learning about the blind date between Qu Jing and Yu Zhao, Duan Keyi looked up a lot of information about Qu Jing. The more he looked, the more he felt that Qu Jing’s conditions were excellent. He feared that the person Yu Yong would find as a partner would be inferior, and in the future, when both brothers were married, Yu Yong might be compared unfavorably in terms of the partner, making Yu Zhao seem superior. Therefore, Duan Keyi’s thoughts were increasingly unpleasant.
On Wednesday night, Duan Keyi still warmly greeted Qu’s parents, appearing happy. However, when he saw Qu Jing dressed up, his eyes lit up for a moment, but soon, a shadow fell over his heart: Why does such a good person end up with Yu Zhao?
Yu Hai, upon seeing Qu Jing, was also impressed and said to Yu Yong, “You, as an ALPHA, should learn from him.”
Yu Yong disliked being compared by his father, and he smiled while maintaining politeness, “Hehe, Mr. Qu’s level is not something that can be easily learned!”
Duan Keyi joked, “Well, we’re all family now, getting close to each other. You’ll have more opportunities to learn.”
Yu Yong said, “Are we family already? Our You family is not that casual!”
With these words, everyone’s faces changed subtly. Yu Hai coughed twice and said, “Watch your words!” Then, looking at Qu Jing’s family, he smiled and said, “Our youngest son, who has been spoiled since childhood, is too rude.”
Jiang Huixi also put on a smile, “It’s okay, kids will be kids.”
But Qu Dad sneered, “Almost thirty and still a kid, isn’t that because the brain hasn’t fully developed?”
Now the faces of the Yu family looked unpleasant.
Yu Zhao’s forehead couldn’t help but sweat: Could they really finish this meal peacefully?
