“Granny, you shocked Momo with your remark earlier,” Wei Zhiqian stated helplessly.

Why did Old Madam Wei suddenly ask such a question?

After the urge to cough passed, Tan Mo turned to gape at Wei Zhiqian in astonishment. “Uncle, do you swing that way?”

If that were the case, it’d be pointless no matter how much she was crushing on him.

“What are you talking about?” Wei Zhiqian replied while throwing her a glance. He asked Old Madam Wei, “Granny, how did you even come to this conclusion?”

Since when did he become homosexual-oriented?

“No more question about how I arrived at this conclusion.” Old Madam Wei would not sell Wen Nuanxin out.

The latter was being courteous as she only mildly hinted at it.

Otherwise, the former would be kept in the dark.

Wen Nuanxin did not reveal it to anyone other than Old Madam Wei.

The sole purpose of informing the latter was to help her be mentally prepared.

If Wei Zhiqian knew that Wen Nuanxin told on him, he would likely settle a score with her.

“Look. You didn’t have a successful blind date after so many attempts. Moreover, you were finicky about your ideal partner. And there was an endless list of complaints from you—too extraverted, too introverted, too narcissistic, too pretentious. In short, you always find fault with them. There would always be something that you could criticize.

“Come clean with me. Are you homosexual?” Old Madam Wei asked. “If you are, I’ll stop arranging blind dates for you so you don’t waste the time of single women looking for a serious relationship. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. We don’t condone a sham marriage in our family, so you’d better not set them up to entrust a lifetime of happiness to you.

“If you really swing that way… It’s fine even if you don’t carry on the family line,” Old Madam Wei added. “You’d better spill your guts now. That way, I can still ask your parents to get you a younger sibling—a little brother or sister. After your younger sibling grows up, they can get married if they are heterosexual. In that case, your family’s genealogy won’t end at your generation.”

Wei Zhiqian was at a loss for words upon hearing that.

Who would have thought that it would be his parents’ turn not long after he urged Wei Zhijian and his spouse to get themselves a second child?

As the saying went, what goes around comes around.

“If it’s a boy, we may put our hope in him. He may have the chance to awaken the patriarch ability.” Old Mister Wei’s words indicated that he had contemplated long before he spoke.

“We thought that we could count on you, but no such luck. Although you swing that way, we don’t stop you. But there’s no way you can ever bear a child with your future partner. So, there’s no hope of getting a descendant of Ke generation from your lineage anymore,” Old Mister Wei continued.

At that, Wei Zhiqian was inarticulate.

Why did they surmise that he was homosexual with such an unwavering emphasis? Why were they so fixated on the conclusion they had arrived at?

Feeling dumbstruck, Wei Zhiqian suddenly felt a gaze on him from the person next to him.

After turning his head in the direction, his stare met with Tan Mo’s, who was brimming with bewilderment.

Wei Zhiqian was rendered speechless at the sight of it.

He heaved a resigned sigh inwardly.

“Momo, do you not trust me either?” Wei Zhiqian asked.

“I trust you. I’ll believe in everything you say,” Tan Mo immediately responded.

The happening before the elders’ eyes reminded them of the typical dialogue between a kidnapper and an innocent child.

“Granny, how did you come to this conclusion?” Wei Zhiqian queried helplessly. “While it’s true that I didn’t find a single person from the blind dates that were to my liking, I don’t swing that way. I’m heterosexual.”

After Wei Zhiqian spoke, he shot Tan Mo a quick look.

He felt rather uncomfortable to be asked such a question in Tan Mo’s presence.

Having said that, Old Mister Wei remarked in disbelief, “Let’s put it aside for now. It’s a trivial matter. I’ll ask your parents to plan for a second child.”

Wei Zhiqian was dumbfounded after hearing his grandfather’s statement.

Just then, Old Madam Wei shook her head and heaved a deep sigh. “We didn’t mean to discriminate, but we need you to understand that it wasn’t easy for us to raise your father. Although he has begotten you, our grandson, we… We can no longer expect a great-grandchild from you.”

At that moment, Wei Zhiqian had a strong urge to comment that Wei Keli was their great-grandson.

But he did not say it as it would be equivalent to admitting that he was indeed homosexual.

In reality, he was not.

“I’ll definitely beget great-grandchildren for you—both male and female! So don’t worry!” Wei Zhiqian declared while gritting his teeth.

After speaking, he glanced at Tan Mo with the corners of his eyes.

At that, Old Madam Wei slammed the table. “Are you suggesting surrogacy? I’m telling you that it’s against the law!”

Wei Zhiqian was bereft of speech.

“I’ll have the child with your granddaughter-in-law .” What did you mean by surrogacy?

“I believe we’ve made it clear that we’re against same-sex marriage!” Old Madam Wei chided.

Wei Zhiqian did not know how to respond to that.

“Grandpa, granny, I’m really heterosexual. I’ll neither look for a surrogate mother nor engage in same-sex marriage. I assure you that I’ll fall in love with a woman, date her, and marry her as my wife, your granddaughter-in-law.” Wei Zhiqian gave his all into the explanation, ensuring not to omit any detail.

Old Madam Wei responded, “Alright. It’d be best if you could make yourself straight. But I’ve got to stop your blind dates for now. They’re better off without you wasting their time before you’re done with your self-discovery.”

Wei Zhiqian was thunderstruck by his grandmother’s utterance.

How could they not believe in him after everything he said?

“Please excuse me for a while,” Wei Zhiqian said in resignation.

He needed to be alone in the restroom to pull himself together.

Otherwise, he would be driven mad by his grandparents before he got to marry a woman.

Right after Wei Zhiqian left, Old Madam Wei whispered in Tan Mo’s ear, “Momo, please keep a watch on him whenever you’re with him. See if it’s really a misunderstanding.”

Tan Mo nodded without hesitation as she wished to know the answer herself.

“Looking back on the events in the past, I don’t remember a single moment where he expressed his interest in men before,” Tan Mo recollected. “Besides, he doesn’t tell lies. Since he has clarified that he doesn’t swing that way, it must be true. I believe in him.”

Wei Zhiqian activated his ability in the restroom. Therefore, he could hear their conversation in the dining room.

Needless to say, he felt comforted after listening to Tan Mo’s response.

“However, you may rest assured, great-grandpa and great-grandma, I’ll be sure to observe him and update you again,” Tan Mo promised.

“We’re looking forward to your reports!” Old Madam Wei flashed Tan Mo a trustful smile.

Wei Zhiqian was at a loss for words.

He wondered how his abstinence lifestyle led them to such a misunderstanding.

At that, he was at his wit’s end as to what to do.

About a little over two in the afternoon, they left the manor together.

Upon the recollection of Tan Mo’s skepticism toward his sexual orientation earlier, he said, “I’m free for the rest of the day. Do you have any place you wanna go?”

“Are you gonna be my company?” Tan Mo questioned in amazement.

Wei Zhiqian nodded. “It was my fault to neglect you for so long, so I’ll spend the entire day with you.”

She was surprised he told her that he was all hers for the rest of that day.

After hearing that, her heart instantly pounded like a drum in anticipation.

“Let’s go to the escape room together!”

Tan Mo had been yearning to participate in the escape game, but her brothers would not allow her to go.

It was not a groundless prohibition as most of the escape games lately were horror-themed.

They were afraid that she might launch herself into some random man’s embrace after being startled.

Hence, they would only allow her to go with them.

But her brothers were busy with their lives.

On top of that, their schedules would often clash with each other. There would at least be one of them that was unavailable while the others were free.

Qin Muye swore to never get near those places as she was a scaredy-cat. She claimed to cry her eyes out if she was forced to participate in any of the games.

Naturally, Ming Yeqing would not go if Qin Muye was not joining.

In the end, Tan Mo could only read the reviews of the escape rooms in B City on different websites and pick her favorite ones, but she had no chance to participate in any of them.
