It’s not that he didn’t believe Su Siyu’s words; it’s that he doesn’t trust him as a person.
Moreover, he is increasingly convinced that there was no future between him and Su Siyu in their previous life. Su Siyu makes him feel disgusted and repulsed. How could Su Siyu think he would want someone like him as a lover, as a mistress?
Because of Su Siyu’s words, he still feels disgusted.
“Please have him and Old Lady Su leave,” Yan Sui didn’t even give Old Lady Su a chance to speak.
Uncle Xiao turned around and immediately called someone from outside. Su Siyu clearly looked unwilling, but Old Lady Su seemed to have anticipated it; she walked straight outside.
Su Siyu turned around but didn’t look at Yan Sui anymore. He looked at Meng Ting, “Who are you? Who exactly are you?”
Meng Ting’s appearance was definitely not a coincidence; he might have come prepared. He had probably planned to snatch Yan Sui from him!
“I am Meng Ting,” Meng Ting answered the question. He wanted to look at Su Siyu a bit longer, but when he was about to say something, Yan Sui pressed his head back down.
“Shut his mouth and drag him out.” When Yan Sui said this, the coldness and ferocity in his demeanor were no longer restrained. Not only was Su Siyu somewhat frightened, but Zhen Han and Gu Lang, who were watching from the side, were also taken aback.
Yan Sui’s mood wasn’t quite right; they could sense it. But seeing Meng Ting tightly held in his arms, they felt there was no need for them to stay. The two exchanged glances, took the documents from the table, and went outside to discuss with Uncle Xiao.
In the living room, only Yan Sui and Meng Ting remained, along with two pets that didn’t have much presence.
Meng Ting reached out and gently patted Yan Sui’s back, his tone a bit worried, “What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Yan Sui, upon hearing the words, loosened his hold on Meng Ting slightly, then led him to the edge of the sofa. The two sat down, and Yan Sui continued to hold Meng Ting. Yan Sui tried to control his emotions, but it was obviously quite difficult to achieve.
Meng Ting didn’t understand the meaning of Su Siyu’s last question, but Yan Sui did. Su Siyu felt that Meng Ting shouldn’t have appeared, shouldn’t exist, which finally triggered the rage that Yan Sui had been holding back.
Meng Ting didn’t know what Yan Sui and Su Siyu had talked about, but he could sense that Yan Sui wasn’t in a very good mood.
He leaned against Yan Sui, then continued to pat his back, waiting for him to calm down.
About ten minutes or so passed before Yan Sui’s emotions returned to normal. He lowered his gaze to Meng Ting, slightly raised his hands to cup Meng Ting’s cheeks, leaned down, and kissed him. It was somewhat urgent, even causing the kiss to be a bit awkward.
Meng Ting blinked and then responded to Yan Sui’s kiss. He gently stroked Yan Sui’s hair, softening his own posture.
But soon, Yan Sui’s kisses became more urgent and intense. Meng Ting slowly lay down on the sofa, and Yan Sui followed suit. He panted softly as he left Meng Ting’s lips, then embraced him tightly, holding him close as if afraid he would disappear just like that.
Meng Ting gently rubbed Yan Sui’s hair and softly said, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here with you.”
No matter what, there’s nothing to be afraid of. He will accompany Yan Sui; as long as Yan Sui needs him, he will always be by his side.
“Okay,” Yan Sui replied softly. He was truly afraid. More accurately, he was afraid in retrospect. Su Siyu had told him that his life almost didn’t have a person named Meng Ting in it, that he almost never got to meet him.
Facing Su Siyu, he could still control his emotions, but in front of Meng Ting himself, he found it somewhat difficult to manage.
“Do you want to know what we talked about?”
Yan Sui continued to whisper in Meng Ting’s ear. In fact, when he asked this question, he was still hesitating whether or not to tell Meng Ting. However, he was also afraid that one day, when he wasn’t around, Su Siyu or someone else would come to Meng Ting and say nonsense. It would be better for them to just clarify things now.
He must eliminate any signs that might make Meng Ting leave him. It’s not easy to meet someone like him, so by any means necessary, he will keep him by his side.
Meng Ting hesitated for a moment and then told the truth, “I do.”
Yan Sui was in a bad mood, or was it because of his conversation with Su Siyu that something was wrong? He was a little worried and also a little concerned, so he wanted to know what they were really talking about.
“Alright, I’ll tell you.” Yan Sui said as he picked Meng Ting up. He still held him tightly in his arms, and then recounted the conversation he had with Su Siyu in the study. He did not hide anything and said everything he could.
After Yan Sui finished speaking, he waited for Meng Ting’s reaction, but apart from gripping his clothes even tighter, Meng Ting showed no other particular emotion.
Of course, it could also be that Meng Ting’s reflex arc is too long, and the amount of information in these words is too much for him to process all at once.
After a while, Meng Ting finally spoke, “I don’t care. The person marrying you now is me.”
He didn’t deliberately steal Su Siyu’s fate; besides, they were already married and in love. What happened in the previous life, Meng Ting didn’t want to care about it. He didn’t even want to care about how the Meng family had harmed him to that extent, let alone anything else.
“Before marriage, you didn’t have someone you liked. Now you like me, you love me. I’m not wrong, we’re not wrong.”
Su Siyu felt that they owed him an apology, but in reality, there was nothing to apologize for. He wasn’t an intruder in someone else’s marriage, nor was he a third party in someone else’s relationship. It was just that he happened to be someone who could make Yan Sui like him, and he liked Yan Sui too.
“Yan Sui…” Meng Ting raised his eyes to look at Yan Sui. He hesitated about whether to tell him that he was also reborn. However, the environment he was in was completely different from Su Si Yu’s. Telling Yan Sui wouldn’t help him; it would only make him sad for him.
Moreover, he doesn’t want to dwell too much on the past. He likes Yan Sui now, loves Yan Sui, and wants to share the present and future with him.
A faint smile appeared on Yan Sui’s face. His lips brushed against Meng Ting’s eyelashes, then landed on his forehead. He said earnestly, “Meng Ting, thank you.” Thank you for appearing, thank you for being part of my life.
Meng Ting leaned slightly forward upon hearing this, rubbing his nose against Yan Sui’s. “It’s okay, it’s fine if you’re a bit slow sometimes.”
Although he felt that he could figure things out on his own, Yan Sui needed his guidance to understand them, which was a bit surprising, but he didn’t think it was a bad thing. Yan Sui was also human and would inevitably have moments of confusion. They were supposed to support each other when they were together; it was just that Yan Sui obviously helped him more.
Yan Sui’s eyes also showed a hint of a smile, but he had no intention of correcting his understanding of this ‘thank you’.
Having confirmed all this, Meng Ting became worried again, “What about Dad?”
Although they only met once, he shared the same feelings as Yan Sui, hoping that he and the person he loved would be well. What Su Siyu mentioned about dying… was it from illness, or some kind of accident?
Yan Sui gently rubbed Meng Ting’s hair, and the expression on his face became more resolute. “I will find them. We just need to do our best.” But this effort absolutely did not include the option of letting him leave Meng Ting. It was not out of filial piety, but rather his inability.
“As for… Mingya, I will pay more attention to that side as well.”
The timing that Su Siyu mentioned is too suspicious. Changing the will right before death—was it Yan Zhengbo’s own decision, or was someone taking advantage of his weakened state? It’s hard to say. And besides, he and Meng Ting had just met Yan Zhengbo; it’s really hard to believe he would die of illness three years later.
Meng Ting nodded gently upon hearing this, then leaned on Yan Sui’s shoulder, “Even though there are many things to do, don’t overwork yourself. I will feel distressed.”
Yan Sui curled his lips slightly and gave a soft ‘mm’, but he didn’t loosen his grip on the person. Compared to Meng Ting, who unexpectedly understood, he still found it hard to let go.
However, it is understandable. Meng Ting has gone through more experiences after all. He is even more certain than Su Siyu that he had no connection with Yan Sui in his previous life. Yan Sui, on the other hand, is different. From Su Siyu’s brief description, he felt that his previous life was terrible.
***
Another half hour passed, Meng Ting lazily yawned, blinked his eyes, and then drooped them again, blocking the bright light. Being held by Yan Sui always made him feel sleepy easily, and this time was no exception.
After a while, Yan Sui picked up Meng Ting horizontally and walked towards their bedroom. He placed the person on the bed, kissed his lips again, and then got up to go to the office. Not long after, Wang Feng arrived. Uncle Xiao and Zhao Bing, who had just returned from the police station, also went to the study and stayed there for a while before coming out.
As for the Su family and the Meng family, two hours later, the police, armed with arrest warrants, took Meng Xiao and Su Siyu away. The last glimmers of hope Su Siyu still had was completely extinguished. His greatest trump card failed to sway Yan Sui, and instead, it solidified Yan Sui’s decision to deal with him.
But dealing with him… if that were the case, Yan Sui would have called the police from the beginning, rather than waiting until now. What he has to deal with is not just Meng Xiao and Su Siyu; their families behind them will also be implicated.
Not to mention how their family business will be affected, just the fact that these two people were taken away from their home by the police, once the news spreads, both families will be criticized in the high society for quite some time, especially since this time, the Gu family and the Zhong family are standing on the same side as Yan Sui.
If necessary, Gu Lang and Zhong Ming will testify against Meng Xiao and Su Siyu in court. The Meng family and the Su family still have room to maneuver with other people, but they absolutely cannot touch the identities of these two. This is a deadlock, a deadlock that will inevitably leave both families humiliated.
However, these matters had nothing to do with Meng Ting for the time being. Two days later, in the early morning, he got into the car, and Yan Sui drove him to school, Haicheng No. 1 School, High School Department.
The school uniform at Haicheng High School wasn’t much different from the one Meng Ting wore at his previous school. The quality might be a bit better, but the style was similar—both were blue and white sports uniforms. Meng Ting sat in the back seat with his backpack, and Yan Sui sat beside him.
All the necessary reminders were already given yesterday and on the way here. There was no need to repeat them. There was a moment of silence in the car.
Meng Ting’s gaze swept over, and in his peripheral vision, Zhao Bing was driving seriously. He couldn’t hold back any longer, hugged his backpack along with Yan Sui, and said, “I’ll miss you, you have to miss me too.”
“Okay,” Yan Sui replied, but he felt that this was something he should have said. However, he didn’t voice it, while Meng Ting said it smoothly.
Meng Ting’s eyes curved into crescents, then he rubbed his cheek against Yan Sui’s, and finally, he quietly gave him a kiss.
Yan Sui originally felt a bit reluctant to part with Meng Ting, but with his embrace, kiss, and words, all of Yan Sui’s time today should be spent thinking about him.
The car stopped, and Zhao Bing still stared straight ahead without glancing sideways. The two people behind him were still hugging each other tightly, not letting go. But didn’t they would pick the person up in the evening? How could they be so reluctant to part?
