IRDFPFCIW Chapter 68

“Tang Tang! It’s really you, Tang Tang! Wuwu! I really… really like you, wuwu!”

Watching the boy in front of him crying uncontrollably, who even let out a loud sob, Jiang Tang sat behind the table and felt speechless.

He exchanged an awkward glance with Chen Jiesen, while Gu Chen beside them adjusted his glasses.

Jiang Tang handed the boy a tissue and said, “It’s really me. Wipe your face first. Do you need some time to calm down?”

The boy grabbed the tissue and wiped his face randomly, then gave his nose a big blow.

Jiang Tang: “…”

He patiently waited for the boy in front of him to settle down a bit.

After a few more hiccups, the boy finally asked, “Tang Tang, can I take a picture with you? I’m your big fan.”

Jiang Tang said, “… Sure. Are you ready now?”

“Sigh!” After coming out of the bathroom, Jiang Tang let out a long sigh and flopped down on the bed.

Seeing Jiang Tang looking exhausted, Wen Renyuan couldn’t help but feel a little distressed. He patted his thigh, signaling Jiang Tang to lie down.

Jiang Tang rested his head on Wen Renyuan’s thigh, facing Wen Renyuan and looking at his chiseled jaw and attractive Adam’s apple. He was nearly mesmerized. What did this man eat to grow up? How could someone be so handsome from every angle!

Oh, it’s because he grew up on nutrient solutions. Poor kid.

Jiang Tang couldn’t help but poke Wen Renyuan’s Adam’s apple with his finger. When he saw it move, he withdrew his hand with a bad intention. As a result, he was kissed on the lips by Wen Renyuan who lowered his head.

“Mm!” With his mouth covered, Jiang Tang let out a muffled sound, and soon he was also addicted to this kiss. It wasn’t until Wen Renyuan let him go that he gasped for air.

The corners of Jiang Tang’s eyes turned slightly red as he shot a glare at Wen Renyuan.

Wen Renyuan gently massaged Jiang Tang’s temple and asked softly, “How was today’s interview? Wasn’t it smooth?”

Jiang Tang was very comfortable with the massage, and his eyes were slightly narrowed. He opened his eyes at Wen Renyuan’s question.

“Oh! Don’t mention it.” Jiang Tang sighed again when he thought of this. He felt a bit drained. “It’s so hard to find the right person.”

A few days ago, he announced to his audience and fans that he was looking to select a batch of food enthusiasts with cooking talent to learn cooking from him.

The announcement caused a stir when it was released. Fans and viewers were in disbelief, with some even messaging Jiang Tang to confirm if it was real.

However, many signed up.

But after interviewing all day with Chen Jiesen and Gu Chen, Jiang Tang didn’t find any suitable candidates.

He specially set up several little tests, but hardly anyone could complete them. Jiang Tang wondered if he had made the difficulty too high and thought about lowering the standards.

Not only that, but today he also encountered all sorts of weird applicants… from those who cried about their overwhelming love for Jiang Tang to others who tried to steal natural food and sneakily stuff raw potatoes in their mouths, and even people who went to the wrong place and asked if they were auditioning for a certain role in a film role or TV series…

“It’s just the first day. There will definitely be suitable candidates later.” Wen Renyuan tucked a loose strand of hair behind Jiang Tang’s ear and comforted him.

Jiang Tang naturally knew this, but perhaps his expectations was too high, which caused a big gap. Now with Wen Renyuan’s comfort, he felt much better.

Still, he wanted to act a bit spoiled. Jiang Tang hummed, “I want my boyfriend to kiss and hug me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Renyuan kissed him as he wished.

Jiang Tang thought about how busy he had been lately, and today was a rare chance to be close with Wen Renyuan. Remembering how his boyfriend often looked at him with a hint of longing, he couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.

Once he finished with the recruitment of apprentices and all these things, he should give Wen Renyuan some compensation.

With that thought, Jiang Tang couldn’t help but glance to the side and his face turned red.

But his face was already slightly red, so Wen Renyuan didn’t notice anything unusual.

Wen Renyuan continued to look at Jiang Tang affectionately while Jiang Tang held his hand.

He looked down into Jiang Tang’s eyes.

“I’m sorry I haven’t been able to pay attention to you these past few days.” Jiang Tang squeezed Wen Renyuan’s hand and made an effort to lean up and kiss the corner of his mouth.

Wen Renyuan: “Huh?”

“In a few days, I will compensate you.” Jiang Tang’s last few words were barely audible due to shyness, but Wen Renyuan caught them.

Wen Renyuan: “…?”

There is such a good thing?

“It’s okay, your work is the most important.” Wen Renyuan gently kissed Jiang Tang’s lips and put on an expression of ‘understanding’, then said, “As your boyfriend, I fully support your career.”

Hearing this, Jiang Tang felt deeply moved. Before he could say anything, Wen Renyuan continued, “I’ll select a team from the military to try out.”

Jiang Tang’s eyes lit up. Yes! Maybe he could find suitable candidates in the military.

“You’re amazing! Thank you!”

Seeing the affection in his little lover’s eyes, Wen Renyuan suddenly felt a bit guilty.

Although he didn’t know why he felt this way.

Just as Jiang Tang was feeling sleepy and was about to fall asleep, he heard Wen Renyuan say, “Baby, how about I take you to the palace when this is over?”

Jiang Tang: ???

Suddenly, all his drowsiness vanished.

He looked at Wen Renyuan in disbelief, subconsciously bit his lower lip, and a sense of foreboding crept in.

“…Why would we go to the palace?”

Wen Renyuan: “I want you to meet my mother. I want to introduce you to my family.”

Jiang Tang: !!!

Isn’t this what they call the legendary meeting of the parents?

“Isn’t that a bit too soon?” Jiang Tang hesitated.

Seeing Jiang Tang suddenly nervous yet pretending to be calm, Wen Renyuan decided not to tell him that his mother already knew about Jiang Tang and was a loyal fan of his live streams…

“It’s fine, it’s just a quick introduction. I can also take you around the palace. Aren’t you curious about where I grew up?”

…Well, Jiang Tang had to admit he was indeed curious.

Very curious.

After all, it was the palace! He wondered what the royal palace would be like in the interstellar era, and what the emperor and queen would be like.

Jiang Tang was quietly held in Wen Renyuan’s arms. He asked curiously, “Queen, I mean your mother, what kind of person is she?”

“…” Wen Renyuan gently patted Jiang Tang’s head and said, “My mother is a very good person.”

Wen Renyuan’s parents were in a political marriage, but they were childhood sweethearts who had known each other since childhood. When the queen first fell in love, she was kidnapped to the palace by Wen Renyuan’s father and since then, she had been cherished.

She was the typical noble girl, gentle, kind, beautiful, and very talented.

Years of pampering had led the queen to remain as pure and simple as a girl, even though she was no longer young. In public, she was a dignified and noble queen, but in private she was just a wife spoiled by her husband.

Their harmonious relationship also meant that Wen Renyuan and Wen Renxi grew up surrounded by dog food…

Later, when they became adults, it wasn’t just about eating dog food anymore. The couple began to worry about their lifelong partners.

Wen Renyuan was better after he ran to the military, but Wen Renxi, who stayed in the palace, was miserable.

“…But her health hasn’t been good in recent years.”

“Ah? What happened?” Jiang Tang instinctively clenched the corner of the blanket, and a worried expression appeared on his face.

Wen Renyuan smiled and said, “Don’t worry. My brother and I have been looking for ways to improve mother’s health.”

“When we go to the palace, I’ll help take care of the queen.”

Jiang Tang thought of various medicinal recipes in his mind. Combined with the benefits of natural foods, it would definitely be of great benefit to the queen’s health.

“Okay.” Looking at Jiang Tang, who was already struggling to keep his eyes open, Wen Renyuan felt his heart soften.

His mother had always taught him about loyalty and dedication in relationships since he was a child, but he didn’t take it seriously. He never expected to meet someone like Jiang Tang. He liked everything about him so much.

I’m willing to give you everything I have, my baby.

Wen Renyuan gently placed a kiss on the forehead of the sleeping Jiang Tang, a kiss that represented his eternal promise.
