Chapter 1091 ALL THAT MATTERED
IT'S weekend once again, and team Yunyue was doing their usual Arcadia 'travelogue'. The only difference right now was that two more people came with them - He Yu Lan and Wu Xiang Ye.
Since they started this travelling, they were now close to covering almost half of Arcadia. With how this was only the first week of April, they might be able to finish after a month from now. Then they could solely focus on training.
"If I had known flying on the back of a dragon was this liberating, I would have joined you last week," Wu Xiang Ye said.
The other was travelling with Luo Yan, Shen Ji Yun, and Eclipse on the back of Dusk. While He Yu Lan was with Su Yuqi, Luo Jin, and Bai Ze on Rowan's back.
"Brother Xiang Ye can just join us from now on," Luo Yan suggested.
Wu Xiang Ye sighed. "As much as I want to do that, Lan-er and I still have a lot of things to do. We have to do them before we leave the country by the end of the month."
Actually, most of the things he and Yu Lan had to do included things related to their families. Both sides still didn't know that they had gotten married. No, it's more accurate to say that they didn't even know that he and Yu Lan were in a romantic relationship.
That probably should be the first thing they should have done upon returning, but Wu Xiang Ye kept on dragging it. Because he wanted to at least spend days enjoying everything before absolute mayhem ensued. But Yu Lan finally had enough of his procrastination and decided they would tell their families about their relationship tomorrow.
So, today was like a respite before the storm.
What their families knew was that the two of them were best friends who were both interested in Western culture. Which was far from the truth. They just used that reasoning to explain why they chose to study abroad. When theyr graduated and their family asked when would they go back home, they both said that they preferred to work abroad.
It's good that their jobs fit more in the lifestyle abroad than it would ever be in this country. Both of them were working freelance while travelling all over the world. They were also doing volunteer work for NGOs, traveling to remote regions to help those in need. Something that they would not be able to do if they went back and stayed here.
They would probably be stuck in jobs that their family chose for them. Being put in a position in their family's company, even if the major they studied didn't fit the job description. All because they were a member of the family that owned the company. You know, nepotism at its finest.
Anyway, since both of their families were pretty conservative, there could only be two outcomes after they told them the truth. Either they would force them to separate or they would just outright disowned them.
Wu Xiang Ye felt like it would be the latter. After all, both he and Yu Lan were not the only son in their respective family. They still had brothers who would continue the family line. So, to cut off the 'stain' in the family, disowning them would be the quickest and cleanest way to do it. That possibility would actually be a lot better than them resorting to underhanded means to separate him and Yu Lan.
He glanced at Shen Ji Yun and Luo Yan, who were huddled together and seemed to be talking about some kind of 'English tutoring'. He had been observing the two for the past three weeks since he and Yu Lan came back. Of course, only in the game and whenever all of them were online. Which wasn't really that often.
But it was still clear that the two had genuine feelings for each other. And he was very glad about that.
While looking at the two, he thought that, as a senior in life and in love, he should give them some advice.
"You two, have you already told your family about your relationship?" he asked first.
Both Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun turned to him and then looked at each other.
Luo Yan was the first to answer. "Well, there's only four people in my family who know about it. There's Ah Jin and Brother Ze, as well as my older brother."
Wu Xiang Ye nodded. It's understandable if only the younger members of the family would know about it. If he were close to his siblings, he would have also done the same.
"Only my uncle knows."
Shen Ji Yun's answer completely shocked Wu Xiang Ye. He knew that Uncle Yi Mu was more than just an uncle to Shen Ji Yun. The other was more like a real parent. So, hearing Shen Ji Yun say that he had told Uncle Yi Mu about his relationship with Luo Yan was nothing short of surprising.
"What's Uncle Yi Mu's reaction?" he couldn't help but asked.
"He cheered me on and was very supportive."
Wu Xiang Ye blinked and then a bitter smile crossed his lips. He planned to give the two advice, but he ended up feeling envious instead.
"You're lucky. Lan-er and I still don't know if we would be disowned tomorrow," he said with a deprecating tone.
"Disowned? Is that like parents cutting off their relationship with their children?" Eclipse suddenly asked.
Wu Xiang Ye looked at the boy and answered, "More or less."
"Why would your parents do that?" Eclipse asked once more, tilting his head as if he couldn't understand.
"Well, because they don't approve of my love for your Brother Verdigris," Wu Xiang Ye gave a simple answer.
Eclipse furrowed his brows, seemingly not liking the answer. "Does love need approval from anyone?"
Wu Xiang Ye was stunned for a second when he heard that. Then he laughed out loud. That's right. He didn't need anyone's approval. The love he and Yu Lan had for each other was all that mattered.
