Xie Li had always kept Yu Rui a secret from his family.
Everyone in the Xie Family knew in the early years that the eldest grandson, who was ignored by everyone in the family, had found a boyfriend. Everyone’s psychology went from panic to outrage, to slow acceptance, and then to the stage of waiting for the introduction, but they could not meet the rumored boyfriend for several years.
Xie Li’s little cousin, in particular, pestered Xie Li to introduce her ‘sister-in-law’ a few times. But unfortunately, she ran into a hard-hearted man, and no matter what tricks she tried, she was always rejected.
The year Xie Li and Yu Rui graduated from college, they decided to go abroad for a formal wedding. With Xie Li’s help, Yu Rui had broken off his relationship with his unworthy father, Yu Congsheng for years, but the Xie Family was a big prestigious family and they had to explain themselves.
So the Xie Family eagerly awaited this mysterious ‘elder daughter-in-law’ of the family to come home and show his face for the first time.
The Xie Family was indeed big. Xie Li’s father’s generation, the four brothers were all leaders in all fields of life, but the Xie Family Elder was still alive, so the four of them dared not talk about family division. Except for their own business, most of the time they still met at the Elder’s house.
On the day Yu Rui arrived, Xie Li’s uncle and two aunts had free time, so they took their children to visit the Elder.
At first, having children and grandchildren at home was the top priority, but when Xie’s eldest grandson’s boyfriend, who had been hidden for several years came to the house for the first time, the rest had to be put on backstage. The Elder was so stubborn that he had declared before Yu Rui’s arrival that they could not go out to see him even once so as not to frighten the young man on his first visit.
Xie Li’s uncle was quite obeying, but the two aunts were not so happy.
And while Yu Rui and Xie Li were sitting in the back garden talking to the Elder, the two aunts leaned over the white jade railing on the second floor of the main building and began to gossip.

“How handsome.”

“Tsk tsk, such a good kid, how come he is being spoiled by Xiao Li?”
“Alas, who knows.”
“Aish.”
The two aunts were talking on the second floor, half-avoiding the Elder below.
Although the Elder was used to the way his two spoiled daughters acted, his expression seemed a bit embarrassed at the moment. He turned around to glare at his two daughters before turning back, “Xiao Rui, they say it as a joke, don’t take it seriously.”
Yu Rui also felt a little amused and helpless.
After making the two daughters leave, the Elder dragged Yu Rui to talk about family matters for a while before the housekeeper took him to physiotherapy.
When the Elder left, Yu Rui felt quite relieved.
Xie Li looked at him with a smile, “Why are you relieved, Class President? I didn’t even see you so nervous when I proposed to you earlier.”
The term ‘Class President’ had become Xie Li’s nickname for Yu Rui, and he usually calls him that except in bed.
“You have the nerve to mention that you proposed in bed.” Yu Rui has long been used to the man’s shamelessness, and raises his hand to pinch his forehead, “And I’m not nervous, I’m just… a little surprised.”
“Surprised for what?”
“…”
“Could it be that before you came you mentally prepared for my family’s Elder to throw a cup of tea at you?” Xie Li asked with a smile.
Yu Rui kept silent.
… Though not as exaggerated, he did expect something similar.
Seeing through Yu Rui’s mind, Xie Li’s gaze softened, “Since I decided to bring you along, of course, I wouldn’t let you face that kind of situation.”
Yu Rui returned his gaze, “You had prepared yourself beforehand?”
“Certainly. I’ve been preparing for this for years to welcome you home. I’m the one who made you come, so it’s my turn to protect you if you get a cup of hot tea thrown in your face, I’m responsible for you all the way, Class President.”
“…”
Seeing Xie Li ignoring the servants coming in and out of the garden, Yu Rui’s face blushed. He leaned over and whispered, “You can choose to be irresponsible, I can be responsible for myself.”
“… That won’t work.”
Xie Li smiled and leaned in, kissing Yu Rui, who didn’t resist at all.
“I will take this responsibility for the rest of my life.”
