After I became a stand-in, I made the male protagonist cry[MTL]

Chapter 52

　　In the silent house, the simulated fireplace made the crackling sound of burning matches. Inside the warm white gauze tent, two people were sleeping soundly on the bed.

　　However, the cell phone lying on the bedside table made a buzzing sound at an inopportune time, and the man in his arms frowned. His dark eyes, which finally opened, were filled with confusion as if he had not yet woken up. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then he woke up.

　　"Hello?"

　　There was a hint of impatience in his voice, obviously he was in a bad mood because he was woken up.

　　The man on the other side seemed to be choked by his unusual emotions and spoke after a while.

　　"...Not up yet?"

　　The familiar voice made Qu Mubai raise his eyebrows. He took the phone away from his ear and checked the screen again. He was sure it was his father who would not call him for a year. The last trace of confusion in his dark eyes disappeared, and he was completely awake.

　　"Well, what's wrong? Do you want to talk to me about something?"

　　"..." The other party seemed to not know what to say, so he organized his words and was silent for a moment before speaking.

　　"Your mother told me..."

　　"..." The hand holding the phone suddenly tightened, like a threatened leopard, Qu Mubai's muscles tensed up. He said nothing, remaining silent, waiting for Qu's father's next words.

　　However, the image of the perpetrator he imagined did not appear. A sigh came from the other end of the phone, followed by Qu's father's slightly old voice.

　　"Bring him back with you so we can have a meal together."

　　"..." Qu Mubai was a little surprised that his father would have this attitude, but it was better than opposing him right away. Thinking of this, he nodded.

　　"Okay, let's wait until Monday night."

　　"Not today?"

　　"no."

　　The man on the other side thought he still had some concerns, so he rubbed his brows and explained, "We're just having a meal and getting to know each other. I won't say anything more to your little... kid."

　　"I know."

　　"Then why do we have to wait two days?"

　　"I'm overseas now and can't go back today."

　　Qu's father suddenly had a bad feeling, "Why are you going abroad?" The company has no overseas projects recently.

　　"marry."

　　...

　　Well, that's a hard-to-refute argument.

　　Father Qu rubbed his brows, which had never relaxed since the beginning. The matter was settled. He opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally compromised. His words came out like a sigh.

　　"Okay, then you guys come over on Monday."

　　"good."

　　After hanging up the phone, Qu Mubai stared at the phone screen for a long time until a warm embrace covered him from behind.

　　"What's wrong?"

　　Wen Heng was still sleepy. When he heard the sound of a phone call, he sat up, put his chin on Qu Mubai's shoulder, and asked with his eyes closed.
