Meng Ting looked at Yan Sui, and he didn’t seem to be unhappy. On the contrary, he felt happy whenever Yan Sui kissed him. So, he scooped up a spoonful of cake and fed it to Yan Sui.
Yan Sui naturally opened his mouth to eat. He and Meng Ting were no longer just close. It was normal to eat a piece of cake together. Both he and Meng Ting felt this way, but most of the people at the banquet were surprised, but this did not surprise them as much as guessing Meng Ting’s identity.
Meng Ting went from being an illegitimate son of the Meng family to a legitimate son of the Xiao family. This change was not ordinary. His father was the current head of the Xiao family, and Meng Ting also had the right to inherit.
It really was thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi[1], who knows why.
Mr. Xiao was quite satisfied when he saw Yan Sui doting on Meng Ting so much. When someone came to ask questions, he said directly, “Tingting is the youngest son of Huimin who was lost outside. I came to see him this time.”
After Mr. Xiao said that, it became clear that Meng Ting had not yet been recognized back to the Xiao family. He had to summon all the direct and important descendants of the Xiao family in the Xiao family’s old house, and under their witness, he would complete the genealogy and the family tree. The part where Meng Ting died in infancy would have to be modified, so that he could truly recognize his ancestors and return to his clan.
Xiao Huimin and Ning Zhou didn’t want to wrong Meng Ting at all. They also planned to hold a banquet after he recognized his relatives, inviting all the big and small families in Beicheng to announce the news in public. There was no need to be too anxious about this, it would have to wait until both Meng Ting and Yan Sui felt it was appropriate.
After they talked to Mr. Xiao, he asked to come and see Meng Ting, but in fact both Xiao Huimin and Ning Zhou knew that it was Yan Sui he wanted to see, but even Xiao Huimin was not sure about what he thought in his heart.
While Meng Ting was eating cake, Uncle Xiao came over to talk to Yan Sui. They were discussing the issue of where the Xu family and the Xiao family would stay at night.
There were rooms in Yan’s house, but it was impossible for two families to live there at the same time. Apart from them, other guests had their own residences or places to go in Haicheng. Xu Shumin and Mr. Xiao looked like they were chatting happily, but in fact they were both waiting for Yan Sui’s arrangement.
Naturally, it was impossible for them to have nowhere to go, but how Yan Sui arranged it could still distinguish between closeness and distance. What they wanted to know was Yan Sui’s attitude. Did he feel closer to the Xiao family or closer to the Xu family.
Uncle Xiao felt embarrassed in making the decision, so he came to discuss with Yan Sui.
Yan Sui pondered for a moment and then came up with the answer, “Tell my uncle that I have arranged a suite for him in a hotel.”
Uncle Xiao was surprised when he heard this and was quite puzzled. He met Yan Sui’s eyes again. But did not dare to say anything. After hesitating, he nodded, turned around and followed Yan Sui’s instructions.
In fact, the conversation between Xu Shumin and Yan Sui in the study room in the morning gave him the answer. The Yan family had been secretly targeting Yan for so many years. How could Xu Shumin reconcile them as easily as he wished, but he still came to Haicheng to work as a lobbyist.
Between Yan Sui and his friend, he chose his friend. He had already made his choice, so Yan Sui didn’t need to hesitate. You can’t have your cake and eat it too, and Yan Sui won’t do something like caring about one thing and losing the other.
Xu Shumin’s face immediately turned cold, but he was too restrained to get angry immediately. Even the change in his face at that moment was not easy to detect. It was just that Mr. Xiao and Xu Shumin were sitting face to face. When Uncle Xiao was talking to him, he had been looking at him, so he could naturally detect it.
Xu Shumin was unhappy. Seeing this, Mr. Xiao’s mood obviously improved. He didn’t talk to Xu Shumin anymore. He looked around and finally walked towards Yan Sui and Meng Ting.
After Meng Ting finished the cake, Yan Sui still whispered something to him. Mr. Xiao stood there for a while before the two of them noticed him.
“Grandpa must be tired, I’ll ask someone to take you to rest,” Yan Sui held Meng Ting’s hand and said this to Mr. Xiao.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Mr. Xiao’s mouth curved, and then his expression became serious again, and he said softly “Hmm”.
Meng Ting was completely unfamiliar with Mr. Xiao, so he didn’t know what he should say. He thought for a while and said, “Grandpa, good night.”
“Yes,” Mr. Xiao said again, but his tone was obviously softer than when he answered Yan Sui.
Speaking of which, it was not only Xiao Huimin and Ning Zhou who felt ashamed to Meng Ting, but he also felt the same way. When Ning Zhou and Meng Ting were kidnapped, he was still in charge, and he had an unshirkable responsibility.
However, Meng Ting obviously didn’t feel the difference in tone. He looked at Mr. Xiao, and he didn’t feel afraid of the eyes he met. He just felt that he didn’t like to talk much, so he always just said “hmm” to everything.
After cutting the cake, it was not too early, and people started to say goodbye and leave. Xu Shumin left relatively late, as if he didn’t understand Yan Sui’s thoughts, but in the end Yan Sui and Meng Ting sent him to the car, and he didn’t ask any more questions.
However, Yan Sui told Xu Shumin very clearly, “I will not show mercy.” Only the Xu family and the Yan family had feelings for each other, while Yan Sui and the Yan family only had hatred. He would not leave any chance for Yan Yunsheng to resurrect.
The Xu family left, and so did all the guests from Haicheng. The originally lively birthday atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Yan Sui and Meng Ting walked back after seeing off the guests. Meng Ting pulled Yan Sui’s hand and said seriously, “If there is anything I can do to help, you must tell me.”
Hearing this, Yan Sui pulled Meng Ting close to him. After a while, he felt that the distance was not enough. So, he stopped and hugged Meng Ting. His voice was very soft and sure, “You have already helped me a lot.”
If the Xiao family also stood on the opposite side, Yan Sui would absolutely have no thoughts of hosting a birthday party. This was the time when he would be most anxious. But what Xiao could do to help him remained to be considered, and Yan Sui had no plans to take them into consideration.
Meng Ting leaned against Yan Sui and warned again, “Then don’t be tired, I’ll feel sorry for you.”
“Yeah, I understand,” Yan Sui smiled. He really hadn’t been too tired from work recently, if anything could really tire Yan Sui, it would have to be Meng Ting himself. But as soon as Meng Ting got out of bed, he automatically forgot about his pestering appearance.
“It’s too late. Let me show you the birthday gift I got you.”
Meng Ting leaned against Yan Sui and yawned lazily. This time was a bit late for Meng Ting.
“Okay,” Yan Sui nodded lightly, then hugged Meng Ting and walked inside. In the living room, they saw Yan Manjia and Ning Zhou who were still talking.
“Everyone is tired today, you two should go to bed early.”
Yan Manjia said this immediately when she saw Yan Sui and Meng Ting, and Ning Zhou also nodded immediately, “Nuo Nuo, go to bed quickly, mom will cook dumplings for you when you wake up tomorrow morning.”
Meng Ting hesitated and nodded, “We shouldn’t get up early, even if mom is cooking, don’t get up too early.”
“Okay,” Ning Zhou agreed immediately after hearing the words. She liked Meng Ting’s concern for her.
Ning Zhou and Xiao Huimin also had their rooms arranged in Yan’s house, but Xiao Ziang and Xiao Zimo refused, and Yan Sui did not force them to stay. He still asked them to come over for dinner tomorrow morning.
Yan Sui and Meng Ting said good night to Yan Manjia and Ning Zhou before going upstairs to their room. Meng Ting’s eyes lit up when he saw the bed, but before he could lie down on the bed, he was hugged by Yan Sui.
“It’s too late to shower, but you need to change your clothes first.”
Meng Ting nodded blankly. He had really thought about rolling on the bed just now. He raised his hands, but still felt tired, so he leaned directly into Yan Sui’s arms and asked him to continue taking off his clothes. “I’ll rest for a while first, and then I’ll take your clothes off for you.”
Yan Sui smiled helplessly when he heard this. He certainly knew what Meng Ting was thinking, but if he really asked Meng Ting to take it off, it would be a while before they could lie down in bed and sleep. After he took off Meng Ting’s clothes, he put him into pajamas, then quickly took his clothes off and put his pajamas on again.
Meng Ting looked at Yan Sui, his cheeks were a little more crimson with reverie, but he really felt tired today, so he just didn’t want to provoke him.
They went to the bathroom to wash their faces and brush their teeth, and then came back to bed. Meng Ting lay in Yan Sui’s arms and thought for a while before saying, “Actually, let’s forget about that time in the morning and let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
Yan Sui tilted his head, then raised his hand to cover Meng Sui. Yan Sui’s eyes showed that he hadn’t thought about this, but Meng Ting was thinking about it, maybe if he said or did something else, they really wouldn’t be able to get up tomorrow.
“By the way, you haven’t seen the gift I gave you yet.”
Meng Ting held Yan Sui’s wrist and pulled it away. Then he climbed over most of Yan Sui’s body, opened the bedside table, and gave his birthday gift to Yan Sui. The gift was wrapped in a fairly exquisite gift box.
Meng Ting took the gift and crawled back to where he was lying. He sat, holding the gift in both hands, and handed it to Yan Sui solemnly, “Birthday gift, happy birthday.”
It was past twelve o’clock, and Yan Sui’s birthday was already over, but Meng Ting still wanted to say it again. Talk about it now, talk about it next year, and he will talk about it every year on Yan Sui’s birthday in the future.
Yan Sui took Meng Ting’s gift with both hands. He rubbed it for a moment and then sat up. He pulled Meng Ting and let him lean into his arms. Then he opened the gift box, which was a lavender and clear crystal bottle with the words “Yan Ting Best Love” engraved on the body.
Yan Sui touched these words again. He turned his head and glanced at Meng Ting, and then asked softly, “Why do I think Yan Ting sounds good?”
Meng Ting naturally had nothing to hide from Yan Sui. Looking at Yan Sui, he reached out and poked Yan Sui’s chest.
“I want to follow your surname.”
After Meng Ting found out that his surname was not Meng, he thought about choosing a name for himself. But now that his family had been found, he could no longer use this name, but it could still be used for his perfume.
This bottle of perfume carried Meng Ting’s lifelong obsession and long-cherished wish. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had named it with the name he wanted most.
“Do you think it sounds good?” After Meng Ting finished speaking, Yan Sui was speechless for a while, then he raised his head and asked again.
Yan Sui’s throat choked slightly, and then he nodded, “It sounds good.”
He was speechless. It wasn’t that he felt speechless. In fact, he felt moved. The emotion he felt when he saw the press conference came back to him at this moment, when it was just him and Meng Ting, the feeling was more intense than downstairs in front of everyone, so much so that he couldn’t think of anything to say to Meng Ting.
“Does it smell good?” Meng Ting asked again. When the gift box was opened, the fragrance of the perfume could not be hidden at all. After all, Meng Ting cared more about Yan Sui’s feelings, so he was afraid that he wouldn’t like it.
“It smells good,” Yan Sui responded again. This was a perfume tailor-made for him by Meng Ting. It not only smelled good, but also fit Yan Sui’s preferences and aura. He didn’t need Meng Ting to ask any more questions, so he hugged him tighter. He stopped Meng Ting and gave him the answer to the question he had not yet asked.
“I like it, I really like it.”
Meng Ting finally put his heart back into his stomach after hearing this. He took the perfume bottle, climbed over Yan Sui again and put it back on the bedside table.
He was about to crawl back again, but when he was halfway up, Yan Sui locked his waist. He happened to be sitting on Yan Sui at this position. Meng Ting looked back at Yan Sui with a puzzled expression, “Why, you still want to…”
Without saying anything, he let Yan Sui kiss him. Yan Sui’s kiss was not affected by sleepiness at all. He kissed Meng Ting until he gradually fell backwards. The two people’s positions changed, and the direction of lying changed from the head of the bed to the end of the bed.
Meng Ting’s eyes changed from wide to narrow. He just didn’t understand why Yan Sui thought about it again. He still didn’t refuse, and you could even say that he cooperated with him. His trust in Yan Sui exceeded all, so his body relaxed immediately, everything else was obviously easy.
They rolled from the outside to the inside of the bed, and when they finally finished, Meng Ting lay back in his usual sleeping position.
But he didn’t find anything weird like this. He just felt extremely tired. He squinted his eyes and rubbed Yan Sui randomly, with a slightly accusatory tone, “I’m going to be drained by you…”
As he finished speaking, Meng Ting’s eyes closed completely, as he hugged the person with his hands, and fell asleep like this.
Yan Sui originally felt that he had gone too far, but after hearing Meng Ting’s words, he couldn’t apologize anymore. He smiled and kissed Meng Ting on the cheek. He patted him for a while, let him fall asleep completely before he got up again to clean both of them up.
