Edited by Qiuxue and Noks

When Madam Yang arrived at the door of Yang Hengtian's room, she saw that all three of her sons were inside.

Then she smiled, “Oh? What a rare sight, to see the three of you here this early.”

Yang Hengxi said, “We just came over to talk with Eldest Brother. When did Bai Ning arrive?”

'Bai Ning' was the young man who had been talking with Madam Yang as they had walked upstairs. This young man, who was in his early twenties, had short chestnut-coloured hair, a melon seed-shaped face and white and clean skin—he was like the quintessential little-brother-next-door.

Before the Yang Family had moved to their current residence, the Yang and Bai families had been neighbors, because they had lived in the same community.

“I heard that Brother Hengtian was back. So I came to see him.” Bai Ning smiled, “Brother Hengxi, Hengyu, how are you?”

“We're fine.” Yang Hengxi nodded and then looked at his eldest brother.

“Then why don’t you two come downstairs? It’s rare for Bai Ning to come here. I’ll ask Yu Ma to make you some snacks later.” Madam Yang said this as she winked at her two sons and hinted at them to go downstairs together.

She really wanted to let Bai Ning and her eldest son have some time to talk alone. But the truth was that she knew her eldest son didn’t really pay any attention to Bai Ning. Otherwise, their two families would have already become in-laws by now. But, who knows what can happen, right?

The person had already arrived, and she couldn't just brush him away.

Unexpectedly, her eldest son replied, with slight alienation in his tone, “Mom, let Hengxi and Hengyu go down to talk with Bai Ning. There's someone else in my room, so I won't be going down for the time being.”

The wind was clear and the clouds were light, but it struck Madam Yang and Bai Ning like daylight thunder.

Madam Yang was startled, “There's someone else in your room? How could I not know?”

Yang Hengtian then smiled, “If you knew, you would end up asking that person too many questions. We already haven't met for several days, so I let him rest first in my room.”

Yan Jie couldn’t be seen by outsiders. So, Yang Hengtian took advantage of the short period before Madam Yang had arrived at his room, to show Yan Jie into his bedroom. That person was no longer in the living room at the current moment and there were no other movements either.

It was natural for Madam Yang and Bai Ning to assume that there was no sixth person inside. Nonetheless, after hearing this information, the former was a little confused, and the latter seemed to be about to cry.

Yang Hengtian glanced in the direction of his bedroom and said with an apologetic smile. “He may have been a little tired just now, so he is still sleeping. I’ll bring him downstairs when he wakes up later.”

After he finished his words, he turned his head and once again resumed showing a gentle but indifferent face. “I'm guessing that he might sleep for a few hours. Mom, don’t blame him for not meeting you. I want to monopolize him for a little longer.”

Madam Yang: “…”

Bai Ning: “…”

Yan Jie, who was in the bedroom with his ear against the door, rolled his eyes.

Bai Ning was not stupid. Of course he could sense that Yang Hengtian was still indifferent towards him. He couldn’t help biting his lips before saying, “Brother Hengtian, you-you wouldn’t be lying to me because you want me to leave, right?”

Yang Hengtian shouted towards the bedroom without thinking, “Xiao Jie, we need to eat in a while. Have you slept enough?”

At that moment, Yan Jie’s heart was full of curse words, which shouldn't be described at present. However, he still moved to the bedside in cooperation, buried his head in the pillow, pretended that he had not slept enough and said vaguely, “No, I want to lie down a little longer, can I?”

Yang Hengtian said, “Yes, I’ll wake you up later.”

Yang Hengxi and Yang Hengyu looked at Bai Ning with sympathy.

Originally, they were very worried about the things that Bai Ning might say which could make Yan Jie misunderstand the relationship between him and Yang Hengtian; maybe even make him feel jealous or spark the suspicion of being cheated on. What they didn’t expect was for their eldest brother to be so straightforward and frank with the other even before marriage, it was to the extent that they…!

Yang Hengxi’s eyes seemed to say: Eldest Brother, you're so coquettish!

As expected, Bai Ning stopped asking. He hurriedly bowed his head and said, “Aunt Su, I just remembered that I have something else to do. I’ll go back first.”

Madam Yang quickly returned to her senses and hummed in affirmation. She then winked at her little Omega son.

Yang Hengyu caught this hint and left with Bai Ning.

Madam Yang sat down on the sofa with a trace of blame in her gentle eyes.

“You really didn't give him any face, hah.” She pointed her chin in the direction of the bedroom. Her voice was not loud, but very harsh. She intuitively thought that this was just a trick by Yang Hengtian, he brushed off Bai Ning using his AI to voice out a reply.

She said, “I don’t understand you anymore, who exactly do you like? We have a good relationship with the Bai Family, and Bai Ning is a good Omega. He's loved you wholeheartedly since he was young, but you've always kept a distance from him, making it seem like you're a thousand miles.”

“I don’t like him, so I won't give him any hope. It's better to let him know early. Besides…” Yang Hengtian smiled, and his indifferent expression clearly receded. “Besides, if I really give him hope, what should I do if the person in my bed becomes angry?”

“What person are you talking about? Sweeping robots? Bed-making robots? Or a bunch of communication devices that you collected since childhood?! If there's really someone in your room, I’ll perform a handstand and drink water at the same time for you!”

Madam Yang glared at him and continued, “I should be a grandmother at my age. My son hasn’t even let me see a single person that he likes. Can I still live happily?”

She slapped her eldest son on the leg. “When on earth do you intend to let me meet the person you spoke about? Didn’t you say you already have someone you like? Don’t lie to me again.”

“Mom, Big Brother didn’t lie to you this time.” Yang Hengxi raised his hand like a good student and said, “I swear.”

Madam Yang looked at her two sons with suspicion. At this time, Yang Hengtian silently sent a text message to Yan Jie.

—Do you want to come out and meet my mother? Don’t worry, she won’t ask anything.

Yan Jie received the message, hesitated for a moment, and replied: Okay.

Yang Hengtian then raised his head and said, “Mom, can you really drink water upside down?”

Madam Yang exclaimed without hesitation, “If you bring my daughter-in-law to me at this very moment, I will perform it for you right here, right now!”

Yang Hengtian got up, opened the bedroom door and smiled. “You can come out.”

Yan Jie looked at Yang Hengtian uneasily, and then came out while biting his lips.

“Hello, Auntie.”

“Are you… Yan Jie?”

Yan Jie nodded. “It’s me, Aunt Yang.”

Yang Hengtian accompanied Yan Jie in sitting down on the sofa, never letting his hand leave his grasp. “Mom, he just arrived from Huaxia, and I still haven’t seen enough of him myself, so you’d better make your long story short.”

Madam Yang: “…”

She glared at her eldest son fiercely before smiling at Yan Jie. “So, the one Hengtian likes is you?”

Yan Jie felt embarrassed, but still nodded.

When Yan Jie had first exited the bedroom, Madam Yang still felt a bit skeptical. After all, her eldest son could make up all kinds of reasons to drag out the matter of looking for a partner. But when she smelt her son's pheromone on Yan Jie, she knew that it must be true. Although the three children in her family sometimes made a fool of themselves, they were very principled in business matters.

It was just that, Yan Jie was a Beta…

Madam Yang didn’t show any reluctance on her face, but she still had some considerations in mind. The number of Betas was higher than that of Alphas and Omegas, and correspondingly, their fertility was also very strong. But that was only when two Betas were in a relationship.

If a Beta partnered with an Alpha, not only would their fertility be greatly reduced, but the possibility of producing an Alpha or Omega would also be near impossible. Let alone the fact that Yan Jie was a male Beta.

Although her eldest son was not the only Alpha in the family, there was no denying that the eldest was one of the best Alphas.

“Yan Jie, wasn't the last time you came here many years ago? I remember that Hengtian always wanted you to come join the Yang Company. I didn’t expect that although there was no success in lobbying you at that time, fate has now changed and you are both together.”

“Well, I didn’t expect him to visit Huaxia.” Yan Jie said, “And stay for so long.”

“That just means you and my brother are meant to be together. How far is the distance between the two planets?” Yang Hengxi continued, “There are so many people who can’t meet even on the same planet. You met him for the second time and it was across an interstellar distance. So—“

“Who said it was the second time?” Yang Hengtian said, “I also met him in the 12th Army's Headquarters, when he came back.”

“Well, then three times. In a word, it’s very predestined.” Yang Hengxi continued, “Although I doubt that the time required for inspection time is really that long?”

Yang Hengtian smiled and didn’t speak.

With a glance, Madam Yang understood what was going on and asked Yan Jie, “How long can you stay in Tarot this time? Uncle Yang will be back in two days. You should be able to see him if you stay longer.”

Before Yan Jie could speak, Yang Hengtian intervened, “He can only stay here for one night. Why else would I say that I don't have enough time to see him myself? Originally, there were many tasks to do in his division. It’s only due to his good work performance and special approval from the leaders that he can visit me this time. So don’t tell outsiders about this. No one can.”

Although Madam Yang didn’t work in the army, she was no stranger to the Flying Wolf Division because her second son would mention it from time to time. She knew that all the people who were chosen to serve there were people with good military characteristics, so she nodded at this news.

“Alright, I won’t say anything more. Then, Yan Jie can stay here. Tell Hengtian if you need anything. I won’t disturb you.”

Yan Jie sighed in relief, “Thank you, Aunt Yang.”

“Thank you for what? No need to be so polite with me.” She smiled and took hold of her second son, who was not willing to move, and left together.

Hearing the door close, Yan Jie glanced at Yang Hengtian. “This… is it over? Just like that?”

Yang Hengtian smiled. “Otherwise?”

“I thought that I would have to answer one hundred and eighty questions from your mother,” Yan Jie said.

“If my grandma was here, maybe she would do something like that. But, my mother won't. She knows my character, once resolved on a matter, my stance doesn't change easily.”

Yan Jie nodded. He still had some questions to ask Yang Hengtian, but he didn’t ask any of them even after spending a long time pondering on them.

In fact, he could tell that Madam Yang should like the person named Bai Ning very much. If the other knew that Yang Hengtian was being stolen by him, would he feel wronged? After all, he was just a Beta…

Before he had met the other members of the Yang Family, Yan Jie hadn’t felt such obvious pressure. But after seeing them, he found that certain things were actually quite hard to ignore.

Yang Hengtian really was a very outstanding person, who stood out even amongst a crowd of Alphas. He had a cutting-edge figure, which embodied the best features of an Alpha. This man was superior to him in appearance, family background and ability.

Seeing Yan Jie’s silence, Yang Hengtian reached his hand out and carefully took the other person into his arms. “Don't think about anything. It doesn’t matter what other people say. Just look at me. Do you understand? As for Bai Ning, he is just our former neighbor. He’s not an important person. Don’t worry about it.”

Yan Jie said, “So he's just a neighbor. But he looks pretty. Don’t you like him?”

Yang Hengtian frowned. “He looks good?”

“En.”

Yang Hengtian smirked, “Are you sure?”

Catching sight of the sly smile, it seemed that an alarm suddenly sounded in Yan Jie's mind. He hurriedly changed his words. “I’m not too sure. After thinking about it, he's quite ordinary. If it’s about who's good-looking, of course, it’s still my Yang who's the best!”

His desire to survive was quite strong.

Who knew that Yang Hengtian would then ask, “Do you really think I look good?”

“Of course.”

Yang Hengtian smiled. “Since I am so good-looking, when will you marry me?”

Yan Jie was dumbfounded.

“Ah?”

…
