Although Luo XiaoLou was somewhat taken aback at first glance by Yuan Xi’s father, His Majesty, the beloved King — it was inevitable, otherwise he wouldn’t have fallen for Yuan Xi.

But when the dark-haired, dark-eyed man spoke, Luo XiaoLou immediately noticed that even though the man was just sitting there quietly, there was an air of calm elegance around him that was impossible to ignore, something incredibly mysterious and powerful. And those charming black eyes carried something that deeply attracted his soul, making people unable to look away and willing to sink in.

Only when two unpleasant coughs came from the side did Luo XiaoLou suddenly wake up. He had actually stared at a man for half a day, and even if the man’s appearance was outstanding, it was still a bit rude.

Yuan Xi was still in the middle of worrying whether Luo XiaoLou had heard the confession he had just made, but he tensed up, pulled Luo XiaoLou to his side, and introduced him with a slightly stiff tone, “These two are my father and mother.” Then he brought Luo XiaoLou to his side again and said, “This is the person I have chosen, Luo XiaoLou.”

Luo XiaoLou looked incredulously at the two people sitting on the throne. Well, the fact that the man with the dark face was Yuan Xi’s father, he could understand, after all, the two people were so similar that no one would believe it if they said there was no blood relation.

But why was Yuan Xi’s mother a man? Was he nervous enough to be hallucinating?

The dark-haired and dark-eyed man looked at Luo XiaoLou as if he knew Luo XiaoLou’s confusion, shrugged and said, “I was away from Yuan Xi for three years when he was a kid, and by the time I came back, he had learned to call me mother in a serious way and couldn’t change it any more than I could. You know he’s stubborn and will never change what he’s decided, so I didn’t bother to correct him later.”

Your Majesty the Queen, it, it doesn’t really matter! How exactly did you and His Majesty, the King, give birth to Yuan Xi!?

Even though he was shocked, Luo XiaoLou greeted decently, “Good evening, Your Majesties, it is a pleasure to meet you.”

It was only when Luo XiaoLou sat down at the table across from Yuan Xi that he became nervous again. He really had no experience with a Queen or King and he also had an unusual relationship with their son. He felt that if he were Yuan Xi’s parents, he would probably have the intention of strangling Yuan Xi.

While Luo XiaoLou was deliberating on how to speak, Yuan Xi had looked up to the two on the throne and said, “You have seen him. Next, I am going to pick a time, preferably before school starts —”

Yuan Xi’s father put down his spoon and finally managed to interrupt him, “The engagement aside, this was your decision alone, we didn’t take a stand.”

Yuan Xi immediately narrowed his eyes, expressing surprise and asked, “What are you and mother unhappy about?”

Luo XiaoLou also looked apprehensively at Yuan Xi’s father. 125 whispered in his ear, “Yo, here we go. The in-laws are always giving the daughter-in-law a hard time. Don’t be nervous, just take it as a routine. Next thing you know, Yuan Xi will have a falling out with his strict parents over your sincere love and run off with you, no matter what! Oh — what a beautiful sentiment!”

Even if real life does resemble a dog-and-pony show to some degree, what’s up with that excited tone of yours?

His Majesty, the King, glared at Yuan Xi and said slowly, “Any grievances aside, you two should at least see if it’s appropriate first, and on that point, what does the young Mr. Luo think?”

Luo XiaoLou was in the midst of a nervous breakdown, tragically realizing that he had no idea how to impress a King or Queen, and even if he were to give a gift, he wouldn’t know what to give.

In the midst of his nerves and distractions, Luo XiaoLou heard Yuan Xi’s father’s question and immediately said what was on his mind, quickly and nervously, “Yes, besides me, there is no other suitable person for Yuan Xi. But it’s hard to tell if Yuan Xi is right for me or not. But what can I do? I like him.”

With that said, there was a weird moment of silence in the gorgeous and huge room.

Yuan Xi and His Majesty, the King’s faces became quite wonderful, but it was his ‘mother’ who laughed softly. As for the butler, who was serving the queen’s soup nearby, he was so shocked that he dropped his spoon in the silver basin, and Luo XiaoLou, in hindsight, wanted to find a crack in the ground after realizing what he had said.

125 exclaims on the side, “Wow! I never even imagined that you’re that brave!”

Yuan Xi stared back at Luo XiaoLou, his face flushed red, and shouted, “Tell me clearly, who did you hook up with behind my back? Hell, who are you going to say is better for you than me?”

“No… there’s no such person at the moment, I promise, no… me, I’m already planning to spend the rest of my life with you.” Luo XiaoLou was busy whispering explanations to reassure Yuan Xi. God, he actually said something bad about their son in front of Yuan Xi’s parents, could there be anything more tragic than that?

Yuan Xi glared angrily at Luo XiaoLou. Luo XiaoLou quietly and lightly kicked Yuan Xi’s leg under the table with a pleading look in his eyes. Yuan Xi still looked ugly but in the end didn’t question further.

“Maybe it’s not as bad as you think, at least he’s brave isn’t he?” His Majesty, the dark-haired and dark-eyed ‘Queen,’ Feng JiaLing said with a smile.

His Majesty, the King finally recovered from his shock and looked sarcastically at his son. Does this bastard also admit that he can’t find anyone else but Luo XiaoLou? How dare he boast that Luo XiaoLou loves him so much that he is powerless to help himself?

His Majesty, the King, and Yuan Xi were still sulking, having already made up their minds to go back and interrogate Luo XiaoLou.

His Majesty, Feng JiaLing asked Luo XiaoLou a few questions about his studies, and Luo XiaoLou’s nerves relaxed with the familiar conversation.

When the meal was over, Yuan Xi once again mentioned the marriage of the two of them.

His Majesty, the King, who apparently hadn’t yet relented, snorted, “Even if we agree to your marriage, don’t you think it’s too early for you to be engaged? You haven’t even graduated from college yet.”

Yuan Xi got upset and retorted unconvincingly, “You seemed to have been at my age when you got engaged to Mother. Besides, I’m an adult, I can take responsibility for my own affairs.”

His Majesty, the King’s face immediately drooped. This jerk, could they compare to him and Feng JiaLing? How can it be comparable? What the hell is that look in his eyes?

“If you’re in such a hurry, why don’t you just get married?” His Majesty, the King said sarcastically.

Yuan Xi smiled smugly and received, “Oh, that’s exactly what I meant. Father, it would be great if you agree. I didn’t think you would push for us to get married as soon as possible, in fact I was thinking of telling you what I had in mind.”

Ah! You’ve definitely misunderstood your father! He definitely didn’t mean to rush you — but, in a sarcastic remark that anyone could hear, Yuan Xi just had the ability to rightfully understand in his preferred direction.

Luo XiaoLou heard it though and decided not to remind Yuan Xi.

His Majesty, the King tossed his cup on the table, and the dedicated butler, aside from a few jumps at the corners of his mouth, didn’t look alarmed this time, fully displaying the professional qualities of a butler.

“Although I am impressed by your fidelity to your feelings as well as your impulsiveness, do you think you’ve finished the adult-trial?” His Majesty, the King, having discovered that he had made a mistake, no longer politely objected and simply got to the point.

“Of course, I was going to tell you about it, that I’ll start the adult-trial next holiday, and when we come back, we’ll have the wedding.” Yuan Xi said with great certainty.

“Wait, what does adult-trial mean? Is it dangerous?” Luo XiaoLou asked in a small voice.

Yuan Xi turned his face and glanced at him and said, “Nothing for you, just wait for me to return.”

His Majesty, Feng JiaLing looked at the bewildered Luo XiaoLou, curled his lips and said, “I don’t think so, you should take him with you.”

Yuan Xi hesitated for a few seconds before finally nodding. Although his mother’s meaning made it a bit difficult for him, it also meant that he agreed to what they were doing.

His Majesty, the King and the butler, who was standing behind the King, were stunned that the conversation had skipped over whether they agreed on the wedding and ran off in the other direction with glee. His Majesty, the King hesitated, and leaned in to whisper in Feng JiaLing’s ear.

Feng JiaLing’s face remained unchanged, “Why do you object? Since they’re daring to challenge, they should be given a chance.” He said with a smile and glanced at the King.

The butler closed his eyes and said in his mind that it was over.

Sure enough, His Majesty, the King sat upright and said with a sinking face, “Alright then, but I have one condition. Your coming-of-age trial will certainly be extremely thrilling, and you must bring Yue Shang with you. I am more comfortable with him than with your — lover.”

Yuan Xi muttered something unnecessary, but came down honestly, after all, they had achieved their goal.

“Besides, even if you complete the adult-trial, that only means that I have agreed to your marriage. And your wedding ceremony will take place after you graduate.” His Majesty, the King in the end offered a small hindrance to the not-so-satisfying proposal.

Yuan Xi glared at him and shouted, “Father, how could you do that? You’re not jealous of someone willingly making food for me all because mother doesn’t always cook soup for you, are you?”

Luo XiaoLou barely swallowed the soup that was about to spew out of his mouth, and coughed, his face flushed red.

His Majesty, the King’s face was completely black, and the butler carefully stood aside. Even though it was the truth, there was no need for Yuan Xi to have told the truth.

Luo XiaoLou took a few gulps of water from the glass and calmed down, then said to Yuan Xi, “Hey, what do you mean by ‘willingly’? Would I object if you did this for me?”

His Majesty, the King, who had been preparing to explode, looked at his son’s shocked face, suddenly felt better, and said happily as he got up, “Well, dear son, if you finish the trial, I will agree to your wedding.”

That night, His Majesty, the King walked into the room where Feng JiaLing was resting comfortably on the couch. Then without moving a muscle, he said, “Time flies, Yuan Xi is already of marriageable age.”

Feng JiaLing looked up from the file in his hand, frowned and said, “You want Yue Shang to go with them. Do you still have the intention to set them up?”

His Majesty, the King reached for Feng JiaLing’s waist and whispered, “Mn, he likes Yuan Xi, and this is the last chance I can give him.”

Feng JiaLing snorted, “Yuan Lie, I don’t care if you feel sorry for Yue Shang’s father, but my son doesn’t.”

His Majesty, the King froze for two seconds and whispered his assurance, “This is the last time.”

 

On the other side of the corridor, Luo XiaoLou tugged at the clothes of Yuan Xi, who was walking in front of him with a dark face, and couldn’t help but whisper, “How is your mother a man, and how were you born to your father?” Was he a result of His Majesty, the King’s cheating record?

Yuan Xi looked back at Luo XiaoLou like he was an idiot and yelled in a low voice, “Shut up, do you know who my mother is? Doesn’t his name sound familiar to you?”

“When you put it that way, it does seem a little…”

“Idiot, he’s the Federation’s first mecha warrior, Phoenix Feng JiaLing, and even if we rule that out, my father only loves him and would never go looking for anyone else!”

Luo XiaoLou looked at Yuan Xi dumbfounded, so how the hell were you born?!

 

The author has something to say:

 

This novel is not m-preg. I only consider m-preg to be if the male carries the baby to term. Genetic test tube babies are different.
