When Mr. Xiao got in the car and approached Xiao’s house, he received a call from Yan Sui. He asked the driver to park the car on the side of the road, and then asked the driver and the bodyguard to get out of the car. He talked to Yan Sui alone for almost half of the conversation. Half an hour later, the phone hung up.
He thought in the car for more than ten minutes before letting the driver and bodyguard get in the car and continued driving back to Xiao’s house.
When he arrived, Xiao Huimin and Ning Zhou were reading a report in the living room. Xiao Ziang went to the hospital to get it in person. Xiao Zilu was indeed Xiao Xuanmin’s child, but Xiao Ziyue was not. After some comparison, her father was the head of the Zheng family who was defeated by them more than ten years ago.
The Xiao family had helped their enemy raise their child for twenty years, letting her enjoy the most comfortable life and the best teaching and medical conditions, but the real “proud son of heaven” had been left outside and suffered all kinds of misery. If it weren’t for Yan Sui, what would they have done in this life? They really didn’t know if Meng Ting would be found, or whether Meng Ting would still be alive when he was found.
Xiao Huimin and Ning Zhou both knew that Xiao Ziyue was innocent, but thinking of the hardships Meng Ting suffered, they still couldn’t help but want to express their anger. When Mr. Xiao looked at their faces, he already had suspicions in his mind, so he took over the report sheet, and his face couldn’t help but darken.
“Tell Xuanmin, let him tell Zilu and… Ziyue truthfully, and then send her out of the country. She will not be allowed to come back in this life.” Not only the Xiao family in Beicheng, but no territory in the Xia Kingdom would she be allowed to set foot in.
After Mr. Xiao finished speaking, he didn’t want to stay in the living room any longer. He brushed away the housekeeper’s hand that wanted to help him and walked into his room alone.
Meng Ting, who was in Yan’s house in Haicheng, was silent for a while after listening to the phone call between Yan Sui and Mr. Xiao, but he didn’t feel any guilt. In Meng Ting’s eyes, Wei Xiaoyu’s life was worth less than a hair of Yan Sui’s.
Yan Sui looked at Meng Ting for a long time. Seeing that he finally figured it out, he spoke, “What are you thinking about?”
Sometimes, he really couldn’t guess what Meng Ting was thinking and the logic of his thinking. After all it was indeed a bit different from ordinary people.
Meng Ting let out a soft “hum” and put his arms around Yan Sui’s neck again. “I’m wondering if I’m giving her an advantage…”
Meng Ting was still a little angry as he spoke. He looked at Yan Sui carefully. Yan Sui’s face was kissed again, his eyes were still bright and clear, and his words were completely from the heart, “I won’t let anyone hurt you again.”
Yan Sui and Meng Ting looked at each other, Yan Sui couldn’t help but raise his lips and smile, then he hugged him, and softly responded, “Okay.”
However, after that day, Meng Ting’s nervousness towards Yan Sui remained unchanged, and he followed Yan Sui wherever he went. Yan Mingya called again and again, and he only went to the laboratory for half a day to get things done. After that he called Yan Sui right away and on learning the location, he went to find him.
After four days, there was no need to apply medicine, but the bruises would not disappear in just four days. However, whether it was Yan Sui saying he was healed or Gu Li saying that it was all better, as long as Meng Ting saw the scars, his behavior still continued to be the same as before.
Two weeks later, those traces were almost gone, and Meng Ting returned to normal working hours, but he was still clingier to Yan Sui than before. Even when Xiao Huimin and Ning Zhou came, he had no intention of restraining himself. He even had to guard the door when Yan Sui went to the toilet.
“Ignore them, it’s always been like this…” Yan Manjia, Ning Zhou and Xiao Huimin laughed. Anyway, she felt that she had lived in Yan’s house for so long, and she had always seen Meng Ting and Yan Sui being so affectionate. No, she should say it was becoming more and more affectionate.
Ning Zhou nodded slightly when she heard this. Even if she wanted to be jealous, she was not qualified. She and Xiao Huimin were destined to be ranked behind Yan Sui, and the distance between them was not even a little short.
“Dad and we both wanted Nuo Nuo’s birthday party to be held in Beicheng.”
Ning Zhou said to Yan Manjia, looking a little worried. She and Xiao Huimin had been here for a long time, but they couldn’t find a chance to speak, they were probably afraid of Meng Ting’s rejection, after all, something happened not long ago that made Meng Ting so unhappy.
Of course, the main purpose of wanting to have the celebration in Beicheng was to correct Meng Ting’s genealogy on that day, so that he would be officially recognized back to the Xiao family.
Yan Manjia heard Ning Zhou’s words, but she didn’t dare to give her any advice. She said truthfully, “You have to ask Ting Ting and Sui Sui.” In fact, it was mainly Meng Ting’s intention. If he didn’t want to, Yan Manjia knew that Yan Sui would never force him.
Ning Zhou nodded as if she had accepted her fate. With Meng Ting’s feelings for Yan Sui and his sense of belonging to the Yan family, he would definitely prefer to spend his birthday in Haicheng.
Meng Ting and Yan Sui came back and sat down on the sofa. Ning Zhou thought about her words and told Meng Ting truthfully.
“…It’s mainly your idea. Where do you want to celebrate? Your father, brother and I will be there to accompany you,” Ning Zhou said, taking Meng Ting’s hand and touching his hand to see the traces that would never go away which made her feel sour in vain.
Meng Ting did not object to his hand being held by Ning Zhou, but only if he relied on Yan Sui, then only he could feel at ease with letting Ning Zhou hold his hand, and he could have time to think about other things. He looked at Ning Zhou, and then tilted his head. He looked at Yan Sui and nodded.
“Then we will go to Beicheng this year, and we will stay at my and Yan Sui’s home from then on.”
Meng Ting’s decision was completely unexpected by Ning Zhou and Xiao Huimin, but it was in line with Meng Ting’s logic when he thought about it.
He was willing to agree because he was sure that he could celebrate many more birthdays with Yan Sui in the future. This time, if necessary, he would celebrate it in Beicheng, so he could stay there, but it would only be this one time.
For future birthdays, he wanted to spend time with Yan Sui, Ning Zhou and the others, but didn’t want too many guests.
Of course, there was another reason that prompted him to make this decision. Not long ago, he had promised Yan Sui that he would not let him be injured again. This could not just be done with excellent fighting skills. He also needed other capital. In this way, he won’t reject the Xiao family.
He didn’t care about what the Xiao family could give him, but if it made him stronger and let him have more capital to protect Yan Sui, then he was willing.
Meng Ting didn’t tell Yan Sui this, and he didn’t need to tell him. He just had to work hard to do it.
“Okay…ah?” Xiao Huimin responded, only to realize what Meng Ting said, and then he smiled happily, “Okay, great.”
Ning Zhou couldn’t help crying when she looked at Meng Ting, but like Xiao Huimin, she was also happy. Meng Ting agreed to celebrate his first birthday in Beicheng. For them, it was his greatest recognition of them. How could they not be happy.
Meng Ting looked at Ning Zhou with an even more helpless look on his face, but he didn’t try to persuade her. Maybe Ning Zhou was made of water, and so she cried every now and then.
After dinner in the evening, Meng Ting and Yan Sui bundled up tightly and went out for a walk.
“What are you looking at?” Yan Sui asked Meng Ting. Since the afternoon, Meng Ting had been looking at him from time to time. He thought for a moment and said, “The injury has healed. Didn’t you make sure again yesterday?”
“I’m not looking at this,” Meng Ting pulled Yan Sui. He didn’t peek anymore. He looked at it openly, but in the end he still chose to ask. No matter how he studied Yan Sui’s thoughts, he couldn’t get it clearer by asking directly.
“I decided to go to Beicheng to celebrate my birthday. Are you angry?”
He made his own decision without discussing it with Yan Sui. He kept looking at Yan Sui just to make sure he was not angry.
“No, as you said, we would spend another fifty or sixty birthdays together in the future, and it doesn’t have to be in Haicheng. If you like, we can go to Rose Manor in Country F, or wherever you want.”
“Well,” Meng Ting nodded when he heard this. He moved into Yan Sui’s arms and hugged him, “As long as you stay with me, I can celebrate my birthday anywhere. Let’s make my parents happy this time. Last time…I probably scared them.”
He and Yan Sui were no longer indifferent to them, so they could give way to Ning Zhou and Xiao Huimin for the time being.
Yan Sui hugged Meng Ting back, tilted his head and kissed him on the cheek. The two hugged each other quietly for a while before continuing to walk.
