It's been two months since their marriage, but Meng Ting and Yan Sui's interest in exploring each other's bodies had not diminished at all. Yan Sui gently grinded his teeth on the sensitive spot on Meng Ting's body.
He was reluctant to bite him at first, but the thrill from the bites would always make Meng Ting unable to hide his feelings. After a while, Yan Sui got the reaction he wanted.
"Yan Sui...Yan Sui, don't be like this…."
Meng Ting gently grasped Yan Sui's hair, his over-sensitive body subconsciously wanted to hide himself but the two were too tightly entwined, so even if he did want to dodge away, he would've bring Yan Sui with him, and the two would just end up in a different position.
Yan Sui slowly raised his head and he smiled gently at Meng Ting with that perfect lips of his. Meng Ting suddenly forgot about the shyness he just had and he blinked at him, "Yan Sui, you're very good looking. Very very."
Yan Sui didn't respond, he gently brushed away the hair on Meng Ting's forehead and kissed him there before replying, "You're more good looking."
It's not just his physical appearance, but his kind temperament and personality. Yan Sui once said that it was love at first sight for him towards Meng Ting, which wasn't exactly a lie because he felt something special for him at first glance.
Meng Ting blushed crazily at the compliment but he came closer to kiss Yan Sui's lips, "We're both good looking."
"Mm." Yan Sui said but he didn't let him go, in other words, a few words from Meng Ting was enough to make him eager to continue.
The night was long and the two-meter wide bed was enough for them to stay up all night.
Meng Ting wasn't able to wake up early the next day again, he looked shocked the moment he saw the time on his phone which made Yan Sui laugh, "It's okay, we can jog at night."
"So it's okay if I get lazy?"
Meng Ting did care about the fact that he became lazy, he used to be the most diligent person but now he was getting lazier day by day. He used to wake up at five o'clock and now it was seven in the morning.
"It's okay." Yan Sui reassured and he carried Meng Ting in his arms while walking towards the bathroom, "I'm with you."
Meng Ting had a chance to look at the side of Yan Sui's face for a while before nodding, "I have to jog at night because I didn't jog in the morning. You and I, we will be healthy and live a long life together."
Yan Sui stopped and dropped his eyes over at him, "Yes, a long life together."
Yan Sui realized that Meng Ting left a dark shadow in his heart due to his death from overwork in his previous life. He had a feeling that Meng Ting's death might not be as simple as he thought, but it's difficult for him to investigate it now due to the different timeline.
Meng Ting had finished sorting out his formulas and there was no need for him to go to school from now on. That's why Yan Sui brought him to the company today.
The employees in Yan's company were familiar with Meng Ting. Well, how could they not be familiar with someone who was frequently brought in for a show by their boss from time to time.
However, Meng Ting couldn't remember anyone from the company except Wang Feng, Chen Fang, the assistant secretary who often came into Yan Sui's office to deliver things, and several company executives that Yan Sui had once introduced to him.
Soon after Yan Sui brought Meng Ting into his office, Chen Fang brought in a plate of fruits and snacks for him. Meng Ting brought two sets of test papers with him, not wanting to waste any time in studying even though he already excelled in science subjects.
Yan Sui continued to take care of his things and went out for two meetings in between, by the time he finished, it was already eleven thirty.
Meng Ting was focused, and even more so after Yan Sui went out of the office, and when Yan Sui returned, he didn't even notice until he was kissed several times on the cheek.
Meng Ting stopped what he was doing and put his test papers aside, then he hugged Yan Sui, kissing him twice on the cheek before he said happily, "You're back."
"I'm back." Yan Sui ruffled Meng Ting's hair, he had actually been back for a while but Meng Ting was so focused that he couldn't see him. So far his advice of bringing his attention back was working well, which was kissing and hugging him.
But Yan Sui was still a little upset, if someone else were to kiss Meng Ting, wouldn't he only notice something was wrong after he was taken advantage of?
"What happened?" Meng Ting asked and stood up, he leaned back and pulled Yan Sui closer towards him. He then reached over to rub Yan Sui's temples and asked somewhat sadly, "Are you tired from all the work?"
He couldn't help Yan Sui with anything that he's good at, all he could do was to comfort him.
Yan Sui gently shook his head as he rested his chin on Meng Ting's shoulder, somewhat amused at his sudden question, "I'm fine, already used to it."
His work currently wasn't really tiring, the time to be truly tired had already passed, especially after he and Meng Ting married. His sudden changes in what he usually did was indeed jaw-dropping.
"Ming Ya is here, let's go out and have lunch with him."
Meng Ting pondered at the name for a moment before narrowing his eyes, "Eldest nephew from country F."
"Right." Yan Sui smiled, Meng Ting's way of remembering a certain person was as stiff as a poker, but stiff in a rather cute way.
Yan Ming Ya arrived in Hai Cheng last night, and he called Wang Feng after making some preparations. Since Meng Ting was with Yan Sui, they decided to make arrangements to have dinner together.
Wang Feng returned from Meng Ting's school not long ago too, he spoke to Yan Sui about the opinions of Meng Ting's teachers, and it was more or less the same as Yan Sui's opinion. In the end, Meng Ting would be treated as absent due to sick leave and would only go back for mid-term and final exams.
Other than that, they would adjust for him based on his results, but this is only an arrangement for this semester. Meng Ting still had to go back to classes for a month or two during the next semester since his national college entrance exam shouldn't be taken lightly.
Yan Sui led Meng Ting outside and explained to him their plan for his studies, Meng Ting nodded and didn't object.
Zhao Bing already had the car parked in front of Yan's company, they both entered the car and then headed to the restaurant for lunch.
Yan Ming Ya was dressed in a silver gray suit, looking very formal and calm. Him sitting alone was attracting every attention in the restaurant since he was already waiting at his seat ten minutes ago. As time went by, there were even few that wanted to come over to flirt.
Soon after, a man who looked equal with him in age but more refined and beautiful walked in. He looked around and Yan Ming Ya waved at him, he nodded and came over towards him.
Those who originally wanted to flirt gave up when they saw Meng Ting walking towards Yan Ming Ya, but their eyes still looked at them unconsciously.
"Little Aunt, how come it's just you, where's Uncle Nine?" Yan Sui was the ninth oldest senior in his family tree, and sometimes Yan Ming Ya called him as uncle or Uncle Nine, but he preferred calling him the latter one.
Yan Ming Ya greeted and sat down, immediately pouring a glass of water for Meng Ting.
"We met someone downstairs, and they're talking right now in the cafe. That's why I come up first." Meng Ting said as his eyes swept over the table, but there's nothing else except water. He looked over at Yan Ming Ya again, "Let's order some food, I'm starving."
That's why he left Yan Sui and came up on his own, he was too focused on his studies before that he forgot to eat the snacks and fruits Chen Fang prepared for him. The last time he had eaten anything was seven in the morning.
"Alright." Yan Ming Ya said, a little impressed with Meng Ting's straightforwardness, he immediately called for the waiter and ordered some food, Meng Ting ordered for Yan Sui as well.
Meng Ting watched the waiter leave before he directed his gaze back to Yan Ming Ya, "I heard from Yan Sui that you want to take a look first. Remember that if you don't like it, don't force yourself to accept it."
Meng Ting had a good impression of Yan Ming Ya, and because of this, he didn't want Yan Ming Ya to choose him because of his relationship with Yan Sui. Their cooperation could only continue when Yan Ming Ya genuinely agreed with his perfumes.
Yan Ming Ya nodded, he came to Hai Cheng nervously, not because of the project, but because of Yan Sui. Yan Sui's opinions were always far more important to Yan Ming Ya than his own grandfather, Yan Zheng Bo.
The worries he had hadn't been able to melt away, but with Meng Ting's words, it became clear to him that it was indeed his own decision to decide if the project is suitable for him or not.
He thought about it and smiled, "Little Aunt, don't worry. I'll consider it very carefully."
"That's good." Meng Ting nodded, as he saw the waiter brought their food to their table, his eyes instantly fell onto them and all his moods were drowned by his hunger, "Let's eat first, not sure when Yan Sui will come up."
The one who's discussing something with Yan Sui was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, since they're talking about business, it would be unlikely for Yan Sui to come up and join them any quicker.
"Sure." Yan Ming Ya responded, he stood up and leaned forward slightly to help the waiter move aside all the cups and set the plate on Meng Ting's side. From some angle, the two looked incredibly close together.
At this moment, to their lower left, there was a cell phone pointing at them, and several photos taken were successfully stored in it.
"Si Yu, what are you looking at." The man who spoke turned around and saw Meng Ting, he paused for a moment before turning back, "Quite good looking, but he doesn't look like your type."
Su Si Yu was exquisite and beautiful and had always rejected people with similar auras, everyone around him knew that. That's why the man who spoke was surprised, and he smiled at Su Si Yu.
"The man across him is a superb one too." That's the kind of man that Su Si Yu usually liked.
Su Si Yu put his phone down, his face somewhat obscure, "I invited you for lunch, not for you to be sarcastic."
The one who sat opposite of Su Si Yu was his senior who already graduated for two years and was currently working in a press agency. Although he had yet to secure the position of being a chief editor, compared to all the graduates that entered the company with him at the same time, he was considered someone that had a certain right to speak.
"Si Yu...What's wrong with you." His name is Xiang Yuan Xing, he looked at Su Si Yu with obvious interest and he tentatively reached out to touch his hand, though his hand was slapped away, he smiled again.
"Alright then, what do you want from me?"
Su Si Yu slapped his hand away and fell back into his own thoughts for a few more moments, he looked up at Xiang Yuan Xing, looking very serious and upset at the same time.
Su Si Yu had no intention of coming to see Xiang Yuan Xing today, originally he contacted him because his plan in harming Meng Ting was going well in the beginning. Now that the plan had caused him to almost end up behind bars, Xiang Yuan Xing technically would be useless to him. However, there's an unexpected bonus by coming here today.
"Senior Xiang, right now there's a chance for you to get a promotion. It's up to you to decide whether you want it or not."
Although Xiang Yuan Xing came to meet Su Si Yu with other intentions, his work ethic was still there. He thought for a moment before turning back to look at Meng Ting and Yan Ming Ya.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Who is he?"
Obviously those people were the one who made Su Si Yu become unhinged.
"The wife of the current Yan's family head, Yan Sui. Meng family's illegitimate son, Meng Ting."
When Su Si Yu mentioned the word "wife", his voice was lowered, an obvious resentment was shown all over his face. What's his mindset right now, he himself was not clear about it either. But if he continued to not do something, he would be driven mad by himself first.
Xiang Yuan Xing's eyelids couldn't help but jump when he heard the Yan's family. Although he came from a fairly good family background, the Yan's family was a behemoth to him and his family, and Yan Sui could easily force his whole family to a tormenting path with just a little snap.
He turned back to look at them again, Meng Ting was still focused on his food. Although he's not that elegant, he's so good looking that it was still pleasing to the eye no matter what he did. Xiang Yuan Xing's heartbeat skipped for a beat, "You want me to hook up with him? You think too highly of me….."
Su Si Yu's face took on a ghastly expression, "Of course you're not good enough to seduce him. Instead, you can publish a post that the wife of Yan's family head went behind Yan Sui's back to meet up with another man and…."
Su Si Yu didn't continue further, not because he wanted Xiang Yuan Xing to comprehend on his own, but because he saw the man himself appearing in front of the restaurant.
Yan Sui's gaze swept around the restaurant before heading straight for Meng Ting's table. He stood at the side and ruffled his hair before sitting down. The intimacy Meng Ting had with Yan Sui was completely different from Yan Ming Ya's previous politeness, it was clear at first glance who Meng Ting was actually related to.
"Did the food suit your appetite?" Yan Sui nodded at Yan Ming Ya, then turned sideways to ask Meng Ting.
"Not bad." Meng Ting nodded, he loved eating delicious food but he wouldn't be picky if it really wasn't to his liking, he's actually quite easy to feed.
Yan Sui wiped Meng Ting's cheek with a napkin that had a bit of gravy, then he sat upright and prepared to eat as well, "Let's eat first."
He said towards Yan Ming Ya, since this wasn't the right place to talk about business.
As the three continued to eat, Yan Ming Ya watched helplessly as Yan Sui was giving a lot of affections to Meng Ting.
His uncle was pampering Meng Ting like a child. Of course, this wasn't a derogatory remark. Yan Sui had never treated anyone else this way except for Meng Ting, and it would be rare, almost impossible for anyone else to receive such treatment from him in the future.
They're happily enjoying their food while Su Si Yu was so anxious that it looked like there's ants in his pants. No matter how ignorant Xiang Yuan Xing was, he could already guess who the person sitting beside Meng Ting was based on Su Si Yu's reaction.
Besides, his press agency had its own rules of survival, and the Yan's family head would be someone they could never ever mess with.
Unless…..Unless he didn't want to stay at Hai Cheng anymore.
"Si Yu, I think it's best to let it go." He was scared of the consequences, hence he tried to advise Su Si Yu.
He was lightly considered as an influential student during his university time, but as soon as he entered the workforce, he knew that "glory" was useless and connection was the only way to survive and move forward. Su Si Yu helped him before, so he naturally should return the favour.
But the Yan's family was really not someone he could afford to mess with, not to mention Yan Sui, he couldn't afford to anger Su Si Yu with that family of his either.
Su Si Yu didn't respond, but from the look in his eyes, it was clear that he didn't want to give up yet. He smiled at Xiang Yuan Xing, "What are you afraid of. As soon as I become the wife of the Yan's family head, you're afraid that I won't give you any benefits?"
If it's in the past, Xiang Yuan Xing would have considered it but now his back was sweating nervously, "Si Yu…."
"You don't believe me?" Su Si Yu's fingertips were tapping on the back of Xiang Yuan Xing's hand, he lowered his voice again, "I, Su Si Yu will get whoever I want. There's nothing that can stop me yet."
Su Si Yu had his ways of talking and Xiang Yuan Xing's thoughts that should've been completely annihilated was once again revived by him, he hesitated at the thought of helping him.
Su Si Yu knew what Xiang Yuan Xing was thinking since he hadn't been able to escape his palm in his previous life, he couldn't escape from him in this life either. Of course, he wouldn't trade himself for his willingness to help him, there were other ways to lure him in.
He glanced back at them who had just finished eating, Yan Sui was wiping Meng Ting's mouth, both of them looked naturally affectionate and Yan Sui didn't feel shy in doing so in public. The three were so good looking that it became a show for some people to feast their eyes.
Yan Sui called the waiter over and paid for their meals, but his card was sent back a while later along with the restaurant's manager. He bowed towards Meng Ting, "My name is Liang Kai, the manager of this restaurant. As the owner, sir doesn't have to pay anything when eating in his own restaurant."
Liang Kai was a bit helpless when he said this, it had been more than two months since the restaurant and cafe had been transferred to Meng Ting, but they hadn't met their new owner up until now, it's unfortunate that they had to meet in this way.
Meng Ting thought for a while before remembering that he was indeed the owner. Wang Feng was the one who handled the process, his relationship with the restaurant must be the reason why Wang Feng booked this place for lunch. Meng Ting's ears reddened with embarrassment and then nodded, "Alright, thank you for your hard work."
"As long as sir has a great time dining here."
Liang Kai bowed slightly, he was about to go back to his work when Meng Ting suddenly called him.
"Wait a minute."
Meng Ting thought for a moment before continuing, "I can eat without paying as an owner, then can I disallow a certain person from coming to my restaurant?"
Meng Ting's question was a little weird, but Liang Kai gave him an answer despite that.
"Certainly, this is your restaurant. You make the rules."
"Well then." Meng Ting nodded in satisfaction, he turned around slowly and pointed at Su Si Yu, "Next time when he and his friends come here, kick them out, my restaurant don't welcome them."
The moment Yan Sui came in, Meng Ting already noticed Su Si Yu but he was staring at Yan Sui so intensely that he didn't notice Meng Ting looking at him.
Meng Ting originally felt that since this was a public place, there's no way for him to do anything even if he despised seeing him here. However, now that he knew he could make any decisions in his own restaurant, there's no reason for him to hold back.
Yan Sui and Yan Ming Ya glanced over to where Meng Ting was pointing and as soon as they saw Su Si Yu. Yan Sui took a step sideway and stood closer to Meng Ting, his protective stance was obvious.
They're looking over at Su Si Yu, there's no point in trying to hide anymore. But before Su Si Yu could do anything, Yan Sui placed his hand on Meng Ting's shoulder and they walked away.
Su Si Yu could feel his chest tightening from the anger, Liang Kai at this moment came over and no longer maintained an etiquette that a manager should have. He smiled at them coldly, "Two gentlemen, please dine at other places, you're no longer welcome here."
"Wha….What?" Su Si Yu felt like he was hallucinating, but Liang Kai had already made his point clear.
Su Si Yu stood up, and the surrounding people looked over at him, "I'm your VIP here!"
He had his VIP card from Meng Qi which allowed him to make priority reservations and enjoy the highest discount in this restaurant.
Liang Kai was not afraid of the man in front of him, he straightened his back and continued, his voice was loud enough for the people around them to hear.
"You used to be our VIP, but not anymore after you drugged and harmed our owner. Please get out of this restaurant, you wouldn't want me to call for security, right?" By then, security would just drag them out without a second thought.
Su Si Yu was livid, he was indeed bailed out by his father, but that didn't mean that he was cleared of suspicion.
He grabbed his cell phone and headed out, Xiang Yuan Xing had no choice but to follow him.
"Hold one, you two haven't paid your bill yet."
Su Si Yu didn't stop, so Xiang Yuan Xing had to pay for their bill. With no discounts and all the expensive food they ordered, this meal itself was almost a third to his salary. The pain he felt in his heart was inevitable, but he too had to rely on Su Si Yu to secure his position in the press agency, he must pay for this.
Su Si Yu ran past the glass revolving door, just in time to see Meng Ting and Yan Sui getting on the backseat while Yan Ming Ya sat at the front. He ran towards them but before he catched up to their car, they drove away immediately.
How could he possibly outrun four wheels with two legs, Su Si Yu kicked a nearby trash can in anger and it drew a lot of attention around him.
Yan Sui pulled back Meng Ting, who was still looking backwards at Su Si Yu, and he gently brushed the hair on his forehead before taking his hand in his.
Meng Ting smiled as he looked at their interlocked hands, "I finally get the chance to piss him off."
Not only Yan Sui, but also Yan Ming Ya in the front seat laughed at what Meng Ting said. The way Meng Ting pissed people off was straightforward and crude, but that's the whole reason how he could easily poke someone's sensitive point.
Most importantly, Yan Sui cooperated with Meng Ting so nicely that Meng Ting enjoyed watching the angered Su Si Yu.
"Don't worry, I won't let him get away with this." Yan Sui rubbed Meng Ting's hand and whispered, he hadn't made a move until now because he had some hidden plans. But after he finished preparing everything, there would never be a possibility of him letting Su Si Yu go.
Meng Ting leaned on his shoulder, "I know you won't."
