Male Lead 2 and Male Lead 3 Happy Ending!

Chapter 103 - Upon the Moon and Willow Shoots

Over the past few months, Duan Sheng Ye has been paying attention to the Spring and Autumn Hall's progress. Since his son made achievements in pharmaceuticals, then he'll stop pushing for his son to become a manager or something like that.

Duan Sheng Ye was secretly very proud. Both his daughter and his son were so talented and capable. His peers often spoke to him in an envious tone when they talked about their children. His children was nothing like the troublesome children of Yalan and the Li family.

Thinking of these two, Duan Sheng Ye suddenly said solemnly: "You must not be like that kid from Yalan, or that kid from the Li family, or else your ancestors would be rolling over in their graves."

Duan Shu Tong knew about the incident with Xu Ya Ze, but what happened with Li Xiao?

"What happened to Li Xiao?" Duan Shu Tong asked in surprise.

Dong Han Yue explained to him: "He had a falling out with the Lin family over a girl. The Lin family's son avenged his younger sister. He drove the company that Li Xiao was managing to bankruptcy. The Li family was also affected by it. It looks like the Lin family and Li family are going to start a feud."

"Bankrupt?" Duan Shu Tong was even more shocked upon hearing the news. He didn't know about this at all. Moreover, Li Xiao was one of the male leads, so how could he go bankrupt so easily?

He thought about it carefully and finally figured out why.

In the original book, Li Xiao really didn't have the confidence to compete with the Lin family at first, so he never broke the engagement. During the few years when Pei Ruo Wei ran away with her child, he worked hard and devoted all his attention to his work. He slowly gained control of the Li family and expanded their business and strength. Because of that, he became a domineering CEO upon reuniting with the female lead.

But right now Li Xiao was still too inexperience, so Lin Huan was able to suppressed him to this degree.

Dong Han Yue continued: "But this kid is still considered a tough one. After going bankrupt, he immediately resigned and left the Li family. I heard that he went to Hai City and is working alone. It's quite hard to make a living alone outside."

Duan Shu Tong nodded. Sure enough, only going through hardships could he grow as a person.

He gratefully accepted his family's good intentions. Holding the ownership documents to the Spring and Autumn Hall, he returned to his bedroom. He lay down on the bed and pondered.

The words that he said to Xi Duan when they parted ways were not just a joke. It was because he was serious about this that he was in a dilemma.

How should he broach the topic that he was homosexual to his family? If he just wanted to have an affair with Xi Duan, then he would not be so troubled right now.

Just as he buried his head in a pillow, his WeChat notification alarm sounded.

Xi Duan: The moon is very round.

The corners of Duan Shu Tong's lips couldn't help rising. He got out of bed, went over to the window, and pulled open the window curtains. The moon was indeed hanging bright and round up in the sky.

Upon the moon and willow shoots, a meeting after dusk.*

[*T/N: A very rough translation from the lines of a poem. This line of poetry paints a hazy, quiet, and artistic image of two people meeting after dusk. The moon and willow shoots are their witnesses of love.]

He suddenly understood through his own experience the romance and emotions of this line of poetry. His heart was filled to the brim with delight. It wanted to rush out like a wave and break the fetters on his person.

With trembling fingertips, he typed a reply: Do you watch movies?

Xi Duan: I'll come pick you up.

Duan Shu Tong immediately put down his phone, changed into a new set of clothes, and ran downstairs.

When Dong Han Yue saw him in the living room, she asked worriedly, "Going out to play at night?" She still remembered the days when her son would change girlfriends frequently and she was worried that he would return to his old ways.

Duan Shu Tong said hesitantly, "I'm going out with Xi Duan."

"Then go. Don't make him wait too long. Come back early." Dong Han Yue immediately changed her attitude.

With a guilty conscience, Duan Shu Tong left the villa district and walked out to the expansive main street. Standing off to one side of the crossroad, he sent Xi Duan a WeChat message: I'm on the roadside outside the villa district.

Soon, a familiar car slowly drove over.

The car stopped next to Duan Shu Tong. Xi Duan's handsome face could be seen through the car window, and the man's eyes were brimming with warmth.

Duan Shu Tong's heart skipped half a beat and he absent-mindedly got into the car.

He glanced over at Xi Duan. At first he didn't notice, but after thinking about it, he realized that Xi Duan had also changed his clothes.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds and then laughed at the same time.

Their hearts were aligned. Both of them changed their clothes for this meeting.

It was such an insignificant thing, but it was also so heartwarming.

The author has something to say:

Xu Ya Ze: You guys don't understand my CP*. [Crying Emoji]

[*T/N: CP means "couple," as in this is the couple that you ship or the couple that you want to be together.]
