154: Extra (1) Parallel World 02

Yan Qinghe wiped his face with a tissue, his expression dark.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

"Stop faking! I won't hold it against you!"

Yan Jinming instantly stopped coughing and sat up straight.

"I'm not lying to you, I really like him. I have to get him!"

"Son, our family can't have people who take others by force; we'd have to invoke the family rules." Yan Jinming tried to persuade him with earnest words not to play the overbearing CEO and canary trope.

"What do you know? You have to strike now to get a well-behaved and obedient wife. Otherwise, when he grows up, what if he turns around and commits domestic violence against me?" Looking at the version of himself in the other world, although he was greatly indulged by Yan Zhuohua, didn't he still have to find excuses to do some exciting and happy things? And didn't he still get beaten by his wife occasionally?

Yan Qinghe's heart was full of joyful anticipation. He wanted to strike while Ning Zhuohua was at his most helpless, to cultivate habits in him early on and set rules so that he would be completely obedient in the future.

By then, hehehehe...

"Come back to reality. You look filthy with that drooling expression." Yan Jinming impatiently pushed his son, who was lost in infinite imagination. "You still haven't explained it clearly to me. What exactly do you want to do?"

Yan Qinghe was pulled out of his imagination and swallowed hard.

"I've drawn up a contract..."

...

Early Monday morning was the customary flag-raising ceremony.

After finishing this week's speech under the national flag, Ning Zhuohua was called to the office by his homeroom teacher. As soon as he entered, he saw a dignified middle-aged man with an air of nobility.

"Chairman Yan, this is the Ning Zhuohua you are looking for."

Yan Jinming stood up slowly and walked a circle around Ning Zhuohua.

Not bad, that brat had some vision, picking an outstanding and beautiful future pearl at a glance. If it weren't for his family background, Qinghe might not even be as good as him.

Tsk tsk, such a clever and formidable wife, could he keep him under control? Yan Jinming recalled his son's confident plan and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If he ended up being pinned down by the other person instead, that would be a huge embarrassment.

He was waiting to see him make a fool of himself! To see if he'd still dare to mock him for being henpecked in the future!

"Chairman Yan?" Ning Zhuohua imitated the title the homeroom teacher had just used, trying to call out to Yan Jinming, who was clearly spacing out.

"Oh, sorry, I got distracted." Yan Jinming instantly returned to the main topic. "Teacher Li, can I take him out of school to talk privately?"

"Of course." Teacher Li answered Yan Jinming respectfully, then introduced him to Ning Zhuohua, "This is the Chairman of Xingfeng Group, Yan Jinming. You should have heard of him. So don't be afraid, just go with him."

Ning Zhuohua had naturally heard of the great Xingfeng Group. This company was backed by the number one family in City A and acted uprightly; there were indeed no bad rumors about them.

"Then my morning self-study..."

"It's fine, you really won't miss much in this short time. Go ahead." Teacher Li pulled him forward and whispered an instruction, "I've looked into it; Chairman Yan is a very upright person. Perform well, and perhaps he can solve your family matters so you can continue your studies."

Thus, a bewildered Ning Zhuohua was taken to a top-tier private room in a hotel near the school.

He kept his head down and followed Yan Jinming inside, until he heard someone inside call Yan Jinming "Dad."

Yan Qinghe had waited all morning and finally saw the person he had been longing for.

He was much thinner than in the dream, and his face looked small and youthful. But his features were indeed those of the Yan Zhuohua he had seen countless times in his dreams.

"Restrain your gaze!" Yan Jinming gave Yan Qinghe a shove. "You're about to set the boy on fire with that look."

Only then did Yan Qinghe snap out of it and hurriedly invited him to sit down.

Under their direction, Ning Zhuohua sat stiffly on the chair, finally unable to resist asking a question.

"I'm not sure why you've come looking for me?"

"There is indeed something." Yan Jinming painfully tossed his conscience aside for the moment. "This is my younger son, Yan Qinghe. We've come to find you today because we want to discuss the matter of you two getting married."

Ning Zhuohua's mind had never held so many question marks in his life. He was dazed for a full minute before speaking under their expectant gazes.

"I don't think I've ever met you... and I'm a guy!"

Yan Jinming waved his hand nonchalantly. "It doesn't matter if you haven't met; haven't we met now? As for being a guy, don't worry, our whole family is very open-minded and won't mind in the slightest."

...But I mind.
