Ning Xiyu's steady and powerful footsteps gradually disappeared around the corner of the stairs, and in the living room, a nuclear bomb was unexpectedly dropped by Ning Xiyu, leaving an eerie silence!

  Even these two people, one a female strongman who has been in business for many years and the other an official with a smooth career, who have seen big waves, were still shocked by their son's explosive declaration and became speechless!

  Zhuang Yufei suddenly remembered that she had just received a call from Mrs. Li, and the voice on the other end of the phone was filled with grievances, with some indignation and fear of speaking out.

  "Director Zhuang! I know that our Li family is not a match for your Ning family, but this little girl of mine is also a treasure at home. The blind date was also voluntary between the two children. But just now, my little girl came back crying like a tearful person. Is it because my old man Li did something he didn't understand? Director Zhuang, you might as well say it clearly! There's no need to make things difficult for this child of mine!"

  Once a person has power and influence, the things they do, which are simply simple matters, will be misunderstood by others as having ulterior motives. Now this simple blind date matter, in Li's view, has become a means of counterattack.

  "Mrs. Li, how could this be? My family's Xi Wei seems to have taken a liking to your daughter, what exactly happened? Is there some kind of misunderstanding here?"

  Zhuang Yufei was a bit stunned. Although she couldn't say that she understood her son, but after he suddenly changed his mind last night, his mood was clearly cheerful.

  "Director Zhuang, just now your son's girlfriend made a big scene and left in a huff. My precious daughter slunk away like a mistress, looking so downcast. You tell me, after all this, are you still going to go on blind dates? Are you kidding me?"

  Zhuang Yufei apologized repeatedly, although the Ning family was much higher in status than the Li family, this was clearly a case of being in the wrong. Zhuang Yufei couldn't use her power to bully others, so she could only vent her anger at the culprit.

  But she had a lot of teachings for her son, and he was blocked by his sentence: "I don't like women!"

  "Lao Ning, it seems now that Xiao Wei's girlfriend is probably fake! What should we do about this situation?"

  The majestic Zhao Jing Group's boss, who was used to being in command of the situation, was pacing back and forth in the living room, completely at a loss for what to do due to his son's sudden declaration.

  Ning Pei Yi sat on the sofa, suddenly pulling out a pack of cigarettes from somewhere, taking one out and lighting it. The faint light flickered with his strong suction, sometimes bright, sometimes dim. He puffed on the cigarette for a while, his long fingers holding the cigarette, tapping off the ash into the ashtray with a decisive motion. His gaze at the cigarette was sharp, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "What can be done? This matter is not for him to decide!"

  He often goes out to socialize and has heard that some people are good at flirting with men, but it seems that most of these people can be either male or female. So, his idea is that his son not loving women and finding a woman to carry on the family line are two different things.

  But Zhuang Yufei is a woman after all, and her thinking has always been more delicate.

  "Lao Ning, 'not willing' and 'cannot' are two completely different concepts! If he's not willing, we'll think of ways to persuade him until he agrees. But now the son says he cannot, what can be done? I've heard that this kind of thing is innate and can't be treated."

  "This is just your guess, that kid said so, could it be just a smoke bomb to cover up his and his girlfriend's affair?"

  Ning Pei Yi remained calm and continued to analyze the situation.

  "Xiao Wei doesn't seem like that kind of person! If he really had a girlfriend, no matter if we agreed or not, he would have brought her home directly and wouldn't use such an absurd reason to brush us off."

  Zhuang Yufei didn't understand her son, but his stubbornness, because of the military school thing, still made her deeply empathize.

  She tried hard to recall, wanting to search for some images of her son's childhood from her brain, hoping to find some clues about "not liking women", but found that she was basically ignorant of her son's daily life. What he likes, what he dislikes, as a mother, she doesn't know at all!

  Zhuang Yufei picked up the phone: "Old Huang, come over!"

  Huang Guoxing rushed over as soon as he received the phone call and had just sat down when Zhuang Yufei asked.

  "Old Huang, has Young Master ever brought a girl home before? Or, have the bodyguards seen him go on dates?"

  Compared to the two parents, Huang Guoxing was more like the father of the two children. He was a bit curious, after so many years had passed, the young master and miss had grown up, why bring up the past again?

  He couldn't guess what she meant by asking about these past events. Although he was full of doubts, he still tilted his head and thought back carefully.

  "Ma'am, the young master has never brought a girl home before. On the contrary, there have been female classmates who called him at home, but he always responded with a few cold words and sent them away. As for dating, I've only seen the young master accompany Miss to play, but I've never seen him date other girls."

  Zhuang Yufei's heart sank halfway upon hearing this. She stopped pacing and walked over to Ning Pei's side, sitting down next to him.

  "Lao Ning, look at this, it's probably 80-90% certain. We have to think of a way!"

  "What can we do about it? That kid's temper, is it something we can persuade him out of? If he could be persuaded, he wouldn't have run away for eight years." Ning Peiwei couldn't help but feel a burning fire in his heart whenever he mentioned this.

  Zhuang Yufei, after all, was not an ordinary person and quickly regained her composure. Having accepted reality, she looked at her husband's furious appearance and knew that for the time being, it would be pointless to discuss anything with him. Given her aloof nature towards their children, it seemed she couldn't play the role of mediator either.

  "Lao Ning, Xiao Wei has been listening to her sister since she was a child. I think about this matter, can't we let Yun'er understand it first?"

  Zhuang Yufei has been a mother for 26 years, and this is the first time she's so concerned about her son. If Ning Xiyu were sitting in front of the computer researching data at home right now, he might feel a little surprised by his mom's behavior.

  "Dad, Mom! I'm back!" Just as the two were discussing their daughter's idea, Ning Zhiyuan appeared, wearing a new T-shirt and jeans.

  Although her heart was racing with worry about the state of their home after the storm, she took a sneak peek around and found that her parents' faces were as calm as usual, still with their poker faces, while Uncle Xing was sitting on the side, but her brother was nowhere to be seen.

  Was it really settled so easily by brother?

  "Ah, Yun'er you're back! Come sit with mom for a bit."

  Zhuang Yufei patted the sofa beside her, indicating for her daughter to sit down.

  "Old Huang, take a look at the kitchen and see if there's anything suitable, tell the chef to prepare some midnight snacks for us." Zhuang Yufei pushed away Huang Guoxing.

  Ning Zhiyun sat down beside her, her eyes scanning her parents' faces to see if they were going to scold her severely.

  "Yuner, does your brother have a girlfriend?" Zhuang Yufei didn't know that Ning Zhiyun had an ulterior motive and thought she was just finding an opportunity to ask her daughter some questions.

  Ning Zhiyun's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily lowered his head to pretend to be thinking, lowering his eyelids to conceal the panic in his heart. After calming himself down, he finally looked up to meet his mother's piercing gaze.

  "Mom! Haven't brother been living in a fully enclosed military school and air force base for the past eight years? How did he get a girlfriend?"

  Ning Zhīyǔn tried to deny it as much as possible, and Zhuāng Yǔfēi didn't suspect anything either. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly let out a sigh. Just when Ning Zhīyǔn thought he had misheard, he heard his mom say again.

  "Yuner, your brother says he doesn't like women!"

  Ning Zhiyun's pair of phoenix eyes widened greatly as he suddenly stood up.

  "What? My brother is gay?"
