Chapter 159 I Like Men!
“Stop it.” Coffey interrupts her, “You are thinking too much into it.”
“Who was that woman who answered the call?”
When he sees that Lily is going to press him for an answer, Coffey frowns, and asks, “Not a woman, it’s
my friend. His voice is soft, and therefore sounds like a woman.”
Lily steps on the brakes to stop the car, and looks at him in surprise, “You… you are gay?”
Coffey’s face turns ck immediately, “NO!”
Lily thinks that he is covering up and pretends to be calm, “It’s alright, society is so advanced now. But
don’t tell mom first; you should spend some time to understand each other.”
“…”
It is obviously awkward for the rest of the trip.
Lily knows that homosexuals would feel inferior and worry about being ostracized by society. So she
continued to counsel Coffey.
“It’s really alright, I understand, as long as you are happy, it’s okay.”
“See, now a lot of countries allow gay marriages, society will be very epting of you all, so will me.”
“You don’t have to worry about kids, it’s pretty good.”
“…”

Coffey looks out of the window expressionlessly.
When they arrive at Daisy’s house, it is time for lunch. Daisy has prepared a lot of dishes. She keeps
mentioning that Joey only cares about earning money and hasn’te back for a visit aftering
back from overseas.
Daisy serves Coffey some dishes and asks warmly, “Coffey, how is it going in school?”
Lily raises her eyebrow and quickly says, “Mom, don’t you understand Coffey? Coffey has never let you
worry about his studies.”
“That’s good.” Daisy nods and hesitates, “When I was working at the library, I noticed that a lot of
youngsters are already in a rtionship. If you meet a girl who you like, I won’t object it as long as it
doesn’t affect your studies.”
“Ahem!” Lily is drinking some soup and is choked.
Daisy quickly pours some water for her, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Lily takes over the ss and drinks a big mouthful of it. At the same time, she looks
at Daisy, and thinks, ‘Your son has a ‘boyfriend’, but not a girlfriend.’
“Mom, don’t worry about this, he is an adult now and has his own thoughts.” Lily said and changes the
subject, “I bought an apartment and once it is furnished you can move in.”
“I’m doing fine here, why did you spend money unnecessarily to buy an apartment?”
Lilyughs and says, “You’ve been living here for so long and it’s damp and isn’t good for your health.
You shouldn’t continue living here.”
“Sis, sell away your apartment.” That day, after he left the sales office, Coffey kept apanying
Chloe for her film shoots. He was so busy that he forgot to tell Lily about the apartment, “I also bought
one.”
Lily is stunned and asks him, “What did you buy?”
“The one that we inspected thest time.”
“That apartment which costs nearly ten million?” Lily takes a deep breath when thinking of it, “I was just
thinking that the apartment was sold in the time I went to the bathroom. So you were the one who
bought it. Where did you get the money?”
Coffey says, “I have some money enough for the down payment, thereafter the monthly payment is
several tens of thousands.”
“You should return your apartment. I’ll find a way for you.” Since it is a property developer under the
Smith Company, if she is to tell Louis, he should be able to return the apartment.
“Why return it? Sis, you also like it, don’t you?” Coffey doesn’t want to return it, “I can afford it. It’s just
several tens of thousands a month.”
It’s just that he should pay it to Chloe.
Lily doesn’t want his burden to be so heavy yet Coffey thinks that his choice is the best. Daisy is
worried about spending too much but both Lily and Coffey didn’t take her words into consideration.
After lunch, Lily pulls Coffey aside and whispers, “Tell me, this house… did you take money from
your… partner to buy the ce?”
The school is so stingy and can’t wait to charge more fees. How could it be possible that they would
give money to students?
Coffey doesn’t want to exin to her regarding his sexual orientation, even if he says it a hundred
times, Lily will not believe, “I took a loan to buy this house, you and mom can rx.”
Lily is sullen for a moment and then pats his back, “Thanks, it must be hard on you.”
Coffey feels uneasy.
He keeps thinking that when his sister said “hard on you”, she didn’t mean it the regr way.
When they leave in the afternoon, Daisy prepares some pickled vegetables and grape wine for them to
take home. She nags her usual way and Lily and Coffey listen patiently before leaving.
After sending Coffey to the same spot, Lily is moody and uneasy while driving back.
How could her cute brother be gay?
She is not against gays but when it happens to your own family, there’ll be aplicated feeling. And
Daisy is very traditional. If she knows that Coffey is gay, she will most likely cry her eyes out.
Lily carries the wine into the vi and the afternoon sun isn’t too ring. It is warm and she sees him
from afar. His head is slightly lowered as he is reading a book.
Lily washes some fruits and brings them to the garden.
“President Smith.” She pulls over a chair, sits beside him, and hands him the te of fruits, “Have
some fruits.”
Louis doesn’t even look at her.
A day has passed and he is still so depressed. Lily is puzzled.
Why is he upset with her?
Is it… because of Daisy’s call yesterday?
Lily ponders and clenches her teeth and says, “Actually my mother knew it was you.”
Louis finally looks at her.
It’s because of really that call.
Lily feels awkward and softly says, “It was that time when you were drunk on your birthday, Meghan
asked me to pick you up and you didn’t want to go home so I took you to celebrate your birthday and
then we went to my house.”
“I was thinking it was President Smith’s birthday and it wouldn’t be perfect without some longevity
noodles. So I asked my mother to make a bowl of noodles. At that time you were drunk and dazed. So
when I called my mother, you also called her mom.”
“Then my mother assumed that you, President Smith, are my boyfriend.”
Lily is increasingly embarrassed as she rtes the story and bes barely audible. Louis
understands and then he rxes his knitted eyebrows.
It’s not that Daisy was mistaken but Lily was lying to him.
Louis didn’t reveal any emotion and simply asks, “Where did you take me for my birthday? Howe I
can’t remember?”
Lilyughs, “We simply walked around.”
She’s actually rather amused that each time Louis is drunk, he will forget about what happened when
he bes sober. Otherwise, she would be awkward. If Louis knew about what he had done, then his
expression will be more interesting than hers.
Louis looks at her suspiciously.
“Louis, have some fruits, they are very fresh.” Lily gives him the te of fruits again, “If you’re no longer
angry, can I ask you some questions?”
“Go ahead.” Louis has not heard her calling him like this for a time.
Lilly sees that he is reaching for the orange and grabs it first and peels it for him and asks, “Do you
have that kind of friend?”
“What kind?”
Lily is slightly embarrassed, “The type of … gay.”
She stammers and it takes a while for Louis to understand. He looks at her once over with his sharp
eyes, “Why are you asking me this?”
Then his voice tenses up and his eyes are widened, “Are you a lesbian?”
“No, no, I like men!” Lily hastily waves her hands and starts to blush.
Louis also sighs in relief. He says, “I met a few, why?”
“Really?” Lily shuffles nearer to him and asks curiously, “So what kind of habits do they have? Where
do they like to go?”
