After that day, Fan Wenfeng asked Ren Zhouyuan out a few more times. It was nothing more than trying to persuade Ren Zhouyuan to carefully consider his relationship with Leonid.

Although Fan Wenfeng said things that Ren Zhouyuan didn't like to hear, he knew that Fan Wenfeng was concerned about him. As long as he thought about it, he didn't resist his incessant chatter.

It wasn't easy for a good friend to accept his long-hidden sexual orientation, so every time Fan Wenfeng asked Ren Zhouyuan out, he would gladly accept, happily leave, and return home with a smile on his face.

Leonid felt that he had another enemy after An 'an to steal someone from him, and this person was someone he had always disliked. He had seen Fan Wenfeng send Ren Zhouyuan back once, and the two of them met at the door of the house. At that time, Leonid felt that Fan Wenfeng was hostile towards him.

Leonid increasingly felt that he should let Ren Zhouyuan have one more child. With a child, maybe he would be able to stay at home peacefully.

Last time, when the two of them talked about Leonid's parents, Ren Zhouyuan's questioning reminded Leonid that his family only knew about the existence of his son and his "son's mother," and didn't tell them that Ren Zhouyuan was a man. After that, he told Alexis about the fact that his partner was a man and that this man had given birth to his child. Surprisingly, his brother didn't stop him too much, so he told his parents about Ren Zhouyuan in a roundabout way, and as expected, he got a scolding.

However, what surprised him was that the reason they scolded him was not because Ren Zhouyuan was a man, but because he had abandoned the father and son outside for so many years. It was not until the child was almost five years old that he found out about it.

It seemed that Ren Zhouyuan's extraordinary physique had lightened a lot of the burden in their relationship. Although he later asked his mother, Anna, if she really didn't mind that his partner was a man, Anna just sighed and told him to live his own life.

His family's reaction made him even more convinced of the importance of the child. Whether it was to reduce his family's disgust or to tie Ren Zhouyuan to his side, this matter had to be put on the agenda.

But Ren Zhouyuan obviously had no interest in having a second child. Whether it was wearing a condom or taking a pill afterward, his safety measures were always done flawlessly, which made Leonid very distressed.

He didn't have many friends he could confide in, and even fewer people knew about their relationship. Ron wasn't reliable, so it was better to rely on himself than on him. In the end, the only people he could turn to was his family.

In this way, Ren Zhouyuan found that Leonid's frequency of calls had increased a lot. One time, he accidentally bumped into Leonid holding the phone and talking non-stop. This was a rare occurrence, and when he saw Ren Zhouyuan, Leonid looked nervous for a moment. Seeing Ren Zhouyuan frown, Leonid coughed and stiffly changed the topic, pulling Ren Zhouyuan back.

Ren Zhouyuan sat beside him and listened for a long time before he realized that it was Leonid's family on the other end of the phone.

At first, he was a little surprised and a little nervous. He didn't even know where to put his hands, but when he thought of how Leonid looked when he saw him, his mind filled with a lot of irrelevant thoughts, and his heart was suddenly filled with an indescribable loneliness.

He thought about it. It seemed that since the first time they talked about this, Leonid had never mentioned letting him meet his family again, and he rarely heard him talk about his family.

Ren Zhouyuan didn't ask if Leonid didn't say anything, but that didn't mean he didn't care.

He told Fan Wenfeng that he believed they could walk to the end, and he hoped to gain the approval of Leonid's family. No matter how much Fan Wenfeng poured cold water on him, he believed in this, almost like a demon.

But when he stood in front of the truth, he retreated.

He couldn't talk to Fan Wenfeng about these things. He didn't want to hear more words that would shake him, so he could only silently digest them and pretend that nothing had happened.

At this moment, listening to Leonid chatting with his family, Ren Zhouyuan felt as if there was a great distance between him and the person sitting next to him. There was only one thought in his mind — sure enough, what Leonid said before was just to make him happy. Well, that's true, I've never been fated to be with "family."

In order to promote the maker course, they began to deepen the relationship with various industries and the government. As the end of the year approached, all kinds of summary meetings and commendations were held like crazy. Vic didn't want to be outdone. He took advantage of the trend and held an annual summary meeting before the end of the year.

The scale of the conference this time was even greater than the previous one. Many big shots and related people in the industry were invited to attend. Of course, as an important guest of Vichy, An Yi was no exception. There were many people who came for the sake of An Yi's reputation.

Leonid had been busy with this matter recently. He didn't know how his family found out about this, but ever since he said he wanted a second child, everyone was very interested. Thinking about how he had spent five years to get the child, people on the other side of the continent started to get excited. Everyone said they wanted to see the father and son on the day of the meeting.

When Ren Zhouyuan went to Leonid's office to look for him, Ron was confirming this matter with him.

The moment he pushed the door open and entered, Ren Zhouyuan only heard Ron say, "So your 'female companion' is decided?"

Ren Zhouyuan paused and subconsciously retracted his foot that was about to step in. He secretly closed the door and wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

The two of them didn't notice Ren Zhouyuan's movements at all. Leonid glared at Ren Zhouyuan and said, "You handle this matter well. There will be a lot of people coming that day. Not only my parents, but even Alexis and Alexander will come. You have to be careful and don't make any mistakes."

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, got it."

Later, Ron and Leonid said a few more words about the meeting that day. Ren Zhouyuan didn't listen anymore. He closed the door and quietly returned to his seat.

It didn't take long for Ron to come out of the room. When he saw Ren Zhouyuan, his expression was a little teasing, but Ren Zhouyuan wasn't in the mood and didn't notice his teasing gaze at all. When he heard Ron say that Leonid called him in, he nodded blankly and walked stiffly into the room like a robot.

When he walked to the door of the office, Ren Zhouyuan forced himself to cheer up and silently adjusted his emotions in his heart before pushing the door open and walking in.

Leonid saw him come in and put down the documents in his hand. "This summary meeting requires you to use the identity of 'ease'. Do you think it's acceptable? If you still feel that it's too much, I'll ask Ron to cancel it. You can participate as an ordinary employee. "

When Ren Zhouyuan heard this, a little hope deep in his heart was pierced by his words. He pursed his lips and shook his head. "It's okay. I'm already mentally prepared."

Leonid nodded and said, "That's good. Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

Ren Zhouyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked a little eagerly, "What?"

Leonid said, "Bring An An along that day." He paused for a moment, afraid that it would scare Ren Zhouyuan, but he still didn't tell him that his parents were coming. "Let him attend more of these meetings to train his courage."

Leonid thought of the kid clinging to him nervously last time, but he always made fun of him by calling him king at home. He couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

But Ren Zhouyuan couldn't smile. Whether it was the so-called "female companion" or his family, Leonid didn't mention a single one of them. He wasn't anyone. He was just "comfortable." Without this identity, he would eventually just be an "ordinary employee."

Ren Zhouyuan knew that he shouldn't mind these trivial things, but he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

He took a deep breath and replied, "I understand."

Then he walked out of Leonid's sight with heavy steps.
