Just as Huang Yu said, when he went back home, Lu Jiangyu was cooking. Huang Qishan tried acting as an assistant earlier, but after displaying his skills in heat control, he was chased out with “Don’t cause more trouble”, so was right now sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.
“Dad, I’m back.” Huang Yu put down his bag, then went to the kitchen and saw Lu Jiangyu hard at work. “Daddy is cooking today! Smells great.”
Lu Jiangyu turned and smiled at him. “Go wash your hands. We’re going to eat soon.”
“Okay!” Huang Yu happily ran off to wash his hands, then went to sit on the sofa to wait for the food. He looked at the newly decorated house. Huang Yu spun three hundred sixty degrees. Simple but emotional! His daddy was wonderful!
“Dad, I have something to tell you.” Huang Yu leaned close to Huang Qishan and said fawningly.
“Hm. Say it.” Huang Qishan put down his newspaper.
“I found a way to make money. Don’t ask me what it is! I’ll tell you once I succeed, but I don’t have time to go to the company this summer.” Huang Yu waited for his dad’s reply.
“So?”
“Hm?”
“You want to ‘act first, report afterwards?’”
“How am I doing that! Dad!” Huang Yu started acting cute to Huang Qishan. “This is something I want to do.”
“Okay got it. You get out of school on a Friday. Everyday you can learn from your Uncle Yuan in the morning, and in the afternoon you can do what you want.” Huang Qishan stood up and sniffed. The food seemed to be done cooking. These past few years, Lu Jiangyu’s skills had improved. He still remembered when he was that person who couldn’t even tell apart any seasonings. Now, his cooking skills were even better then his.
“Dad dad dad dad dad…” Huang Yu flopped on the sofa and shouted. “I can’t wake up in the morning.”

“Huang Yu, you have to remember you are the successor of the Huang group. And you are already old enough. You can’t just act before you think. You have to consider things more carefully. If you can’t do it, then learn. RIght now, you know what you want to do, so Dad is very happy, but you should also know what you have to do, and your responsibilities.” Huang Qishan lectured his son severely.

“Dad…” Huang Yu called out to Huang Qishan sadly.
“What?”
“You really won’t have another kid?”
Enough! He was just wasting his breath! Huang Qishan angrily pinched Huang Yu’s face. “You brat, flip your brain around for me! Ungrateful!”
“Ow, ow, ow…” Huang Yu shouted in pain. Huang Qishan refused to let go. “That’s right it hurts! I have to use a different tactic so that you’ll learn from your mistakes!” Huang Qishan was disappointed in him for not meeting his expectations. If he had known earlier he should’ve given a few beatings!
“Qishan, what are you two doing. It’s time to eat.” Lu Jiangyu called from the dining room.
“Okay,” Huang Qishan replied. He let go of Huang Yu’s face and stood up. “Good son, you should give up on that idea!”
Huang Yu waited for Huang Qishan to let go then immediately got up and ran away to put a distance between them. Then while listening to Huang Qishan’s snickers, he said, “Dad if you won’t have another kid, I’ll do it!” After this he immediately ran to the dining room to seek Lu Jiangyu’s shelter.
Huang Qishan angrily gnashed his teeth together. Looks like he had to give this brat a good talking to!
The next day, Huang Yu woke up early. Actually, he knew what his dad was saying yesterday and he accepted it. Therefore, from today on he would work hard! He checked his watch. It was almost nine… Huang Yu looked at his own alarm clock, then checked the alarm on his phone. He obviously set it for eight… Never mind, it was fine as long as he didn’t go back to sleep. Huang Yu logged back into Taobao to check his order form. It was still on the way. How come it was slower this time. No matter. Huang Yu logged onto his weibo, then sent his first weibo of the year. His OCD acted up again, so of course he had to add a picture. He searched for one for a while, before he finally self-satisfiedly sent the photo of his self-made phone case, with the accompanying text, “Yuyu’s Shengsheng.”
Huang Yu did not feel the slightest shame, because a person in love did not know what was disgusting. Huang Yu washed up then went into the living room. He found that his two dads had not woken up yet. He didn’t want to eat a meal on his own, so he went to the fridge to get something to tide him over. “Yogurt, milk, cheese, more cheese… There’s no snacks here.” Huang Yu was about to take the yogurt with him when he suddenly remembered the “pregnant” thing! Unhappily he picked up the carton of milk and took a sip. “It’s really gross.” Huang Yu drank one mouthful before putting it away. He checked his watch and saw that it was past nine. Shengsheng should be awake, so he excitedly went to grab his phone to send him a message. No one responded. “He couldn’t still be sleeping, could he? He really is the god of sleep.”
However, Huang Yu’s guess was wrong. Liu Shenghao was right now staring at the useless pregnancy test kits he had bought several days ago. It wasn’t because he wanted to look, but rather someone made him. “Will you tell Mom what is going on?” Zhao Wanyun was sitting in front of Liu Shenghao and interrogated, “Do you have a child?”
Liu Shenghao continued shaking his head and didn’t say anything, but his mom kept pestering him.
“It’s really not what you think! Mom, The one I like is a man.”
“Then what is this? Dan Ni told it all to me.” Zhao Wanyun said boldly. If no one was pregnant, her son would not just randomly buy these things. When Dan Ni told her she didn’t believe it. Could it be that her son had been lying to her? She couldn’t sit still, so she seized the morning to go run over to her son’s place. Without much effort, she found one with the seal still on. Zhao Wanyun sighed. Good, good. Looks like Dan Ni was telling the truth. And her guess was not wrong, he was just playing, just playing, she continued reminding herself. Then she sat down on the sofa waiting for her son to wake up and question him.
“How did she know?” Liu Shenghao felt weird. He didn’t tell anyone else!
“It doesn’t matter how she knows. I just want you to tell the truth to your mom. Do you have a child?”
“I don’t, Mom! I told you so many times. I really don’t have one.” Liu Shenghao was going a little crazy.
“Then why would this be in your house?” persisted Zhao Wanyun.
Liu Shenghao couldn’t say it was for Huang Yu. That would contradict his purpose. However, if he didn’t say anything, his mom definitely would not give up. She would definitely go investigate herself. In order to end this situation, Liu Shenghao could only drag his good brother into the water. “A’bai’s girlfriend bought it.”
“A’bai?” Zhao Wanyun recalled who it was and immediately got angrier. “Didn’t I tell you not to be friends with that kind of person! You actually let him into your house! How could you be friends with such a low-end person?” Zhao Wanyun got angrier as she spoke. “I see, you liking men is what brought them out!”
“Mom! What are you saying!” Liu Shenghao got angry too. “They are not that kind of person. And I was born liking men. Even if you try to investigate, it’s Mom and Dad’s responsibility,” Liu Shenghao was annoyed.
“Shenghao! How can you say that to your mom!” Zhao Wanyun looked at her son in surprise, and immediately the flames roared higher. “I see you are playing around with that little boy! Break up with him right away. I won’t agree to that kind of person. Our Liu Family won’t have it!”
While Zhao Wanyun and Liu Shenghao were arguing, the door was pushed open. “Shengsheng I’m back!” Huang Yu’s voice was full of cheer. The express delivery these days was really express. It was on the way in the morning, and now it just arrived.
When Zhao Wanyun heard the voice, she walked straight for the entrance hall. Liu Shenghao did not know but his mom was right now very agitated. Liu Shenghao immediately went after her, but he never thought–
“Slap!”
Huang Yu held his left cheek in surprise, the stuff in his hand fell out. “Auntie?!”
Zhao Wanyun’s hand was still up, as if the one Huang Yu wasn’t the only one one struck dumb. Liu Shenghao immediately reacted and walked over to Huang Yu. “Are you hurt?”
Huang Yu didn’t say anything. He only looked at LIu Shenghao blankly, not knowing the reason why. However, his eyes were slightly red. Liu Shenghao’s heart broke, and he gathered him into his arms. However, he was shoved forcefully by Zhao Wanyun. “Get away from my son!” Then she actually sat on the ground and started crying. It seemed like she only had enough strength to cry.
“Mom, that’s enough! He is a child.” Liu Shenghao immediately escorted Huang Yu towards the door. “You go home first. Go home. Wait for me to go find you. Be good and go home.” Liu Shenghao pried Huang Yu’s fingers from his clothes. Huang Yu still was not willing to, and leaned against Liu Shegnaho’s chest.
“I won’t go.”
“You got beat up and still won’t go!” Liu SHenghao opened the door and pulled Huang Yu out. “You go home first. Wait for me to come find you.”
“Shouldn’t you explain now?”
“Huang Yu, she’s my mom. I know her better then you. You just got hurt unnecessarily. Listen to me and go home,” Liu Shenghao urged.
“But I’ll have to experience it sooner or later,” Huang Yu still didn’t want to go.
“Huang Yu, you’ll only get hurt. If you say anything right now, my mom won’t listen. If you don’t want to go, got to the cafe downstairs and wait for me.”
“But I…”
Thank you very much for your hard work!
I really enjoy reading this story!
translator-nim thank you so much for picking up this novel again
I’m sorry but I would slap her back. Slap your don why are you slapping someone else’s precious child? This is a part of Asian culture that I can’t understand. Just because you’re an elder shouldn’t mean being unreasonable and violent on top of it.
