After he turned on the car lights, Yan Sui personally opened the food box before handing it to Meng Ting, “Finish eating before you go up.”
Meng Ting nodded and didn’t object as he held the food box and ate very seriously.
Meng Ting actually can’t eat even the slightest bit of spicy food. The spiciness added as per his request made his forehead and nose break out in a fine sweat, and he didn’t forget to exhale in between bites.
“Drink some water,” Yan Sui opened a bottle of mineral water. Seeing that Meng Ting was holding the food box with both hands, he naturally fed it to him.
“Is it delicious?”
“Um, um,” Meng Ting nodded and then buried his head again and continued to eat. During this period, Yan Sui fed him water twice more. He was afraid that Meng Ting had eaten too much food in the evening and would have an indigestion, so the portion was moderate. In addition, Meng Ting ate too much rice for dinner, so this bowl of noodles was definitely enough.
When Meng Ting was hesitating whether to finish the noodle soup, which was spicier than the noodles, Yan Sui took the food box, screwed the lid on, and put it aside. And then, he took out a tissue and wiped Meng Ting’s face. After wiping his face, he also wiped his hands, a little unskilled, but it did not affect his seriousness and meticulousness.
And Meng Ting also obediently tilted his head back to let Yan Sui wipe it. Yan Sui’s extremely focused face fell completely into his eyes. He couldn’t help but raise his lips and smile. He thought he would definitely not fail to recognize Yan Sui. He is Yan Sui and he will never forget him.
After Yan Sui finished wiping Meng Ting’s hands, he raised his eyes and met his smiling face, like a satisfied kitten, waiting for someone to caress it. He raised his hand to rub his excessively soft hair again, looking at him unconsciously following and rubbing against the palm of his hand, he suddenly wanted to take the person away just like that.
“It’s getting late. Go back and go to bed early. I’ll see you again tomorrow night.”
Meng Ting nodded, and after a moment’s hesitation, he hugged Yan Sui again, rubbing against his neck, and then softly said, “You also need to eat well.”
Yan Sui vaguely felt that Meng Ting’s words should have some special meaning. But no matter how smart he is, he can never imagine that these are love words. It is a love message that Meng Ting wants to give him.
Yan Sui reached out and hugged Meng Ting back, and only after a long time did he let him go.
After opening the car door, Meng Ting got out of the car. He looked back at Yan Sui’s car, walked to the iron gate, and looked back again. Once inside, he couldn’t help but look back again. Yan Sui’s car was still parked. He returned to the third floor and walked to the small balcony. From afar, he saw a bunch of headlights, which quietly disappeared into the darkness.
Meng Ting stared blankly for a long time. The mobile phone in his pocket vibrated, it was still a text message Yan Sui sent to him.
“Go to bed early, good night.”
Meng Ting immediately went back to the inner room, climbed into bed, covered himself with the quilt, and then replied to Yan Sui’s text message.
“I listen to you. I’m in bed. I’ll sleep at once. Good night.”
Meng Ting was about to put his mobile phone back on the bedside table when it vibrated again. He retracted his hand with a little surprise on his face. So far, only Yan Sui knew his phone number, and he was the only one who would send him text messages.
“Be good.”
When he saw this word, Meng Ting looked at it a couple more times, and then replied to Yan Sui like last time, “I’m good.”
The two text messages had little tangible value, yet they both couldn’t help but smile knowingly. The connection between people is truly strange. In just two days, the mutual affection between Yan Sui and Meng Ting has soared to its limit, one step further and it would truly be love.
From the driver’s seat of Yan Sui’s car, Secretary Wang, who had been ignored for nearly an hour and was stuffed full of dog food1狗糧 (gǒu liáng): lit. dog food; (slang, neologism) display of affection seen from the perspective of a third, lonely person., felt a tinge of sadness.
His iceberg CEO fell in love, completely becoming a foolish man in love. He pulled a young man into the car, hugged him for a long time, and even fed him water and wiped his face and hands. Now he sent a goodnight text message and also smiled with a gentle face. Is this because he feels it’s not stimulating enough for him?
And he also realized that his power as the light bulb2電燈泡 (diàn dēng pào): light bulb (figurative) third wheel (accompanying two people on a date), as if the person is the light bulb in the background; (Wu, figurative) bald head; gooseberry—unwanted third person accompanying a courting couple; (slang) unwanted third guest. was so insufficient. Not only did Yan Sui ignore him, but Meng Ting probably didn’t notice his existence from the beginning to the end. If he hadn’t been driving the car now, he would have wanted to look in the mirror. Has he become ugly?
He is a famous golden bachelor in the company. He is handsome, capable, and rich. As for Yan Sui, he is a rare diamond bachelor, but soon he will no longer be so.
Of course, he took over Xiao Zhao’s shift that night, and his work was not in vain either. He finally found out who the little vixen who seduced his boss was. It turned out to be his boss’s marriage partner who was going to marry his boss in two weeks. This development was too bizarre and too fast.
After Yan Sui smiled faintly, his expression returned to cold and solemn again. He looked at his mobile phone again, and then said to Secretary Wang in the front seat, “Go back to your house first, and I’ll drive back by myself later.”
“Okay,” Secretary Wang could be said to be obedient to Yan Sui’s orders, and his execution ability was extremely high, and this moment was no exception. After he was dropped off, Yan Sui got into the driver’s seat by himself, but the car did not drive towards Yan’s residence, but to a high-end club in Haicheng.
Gu Lang was the host and asked him to go. Moreover, he was using the favor he asked him to do last time as a request.
He knows Yan Sui, so he won’t invite any messy people. The people who come are all people they have known in their circle since childhood. Not everyone may have good character, but they definitely better for their eyes.
***
Gu Lang originally had no intention of calling Yan Sui, but who let him be less skillful than others, playing games and losing. He agreed to the request and asked Yan Sui to come to the club.
“How did you know that I could call Yan Sui to come?”
Gu Lang drank a little too much, but his mind was still clear. He looked at Su Siyu who was smiling very strangely and asked.
Yan Sui is such a cold person. Even if Gu Lang loudly said that he and Yan Sui have a very close relationship, not many people would believe it, not to mention that he never made it public. But Su Siyu made such a request to him, a request that he didn’t expect at all.
“Just trying my luck.” Su Siyu smiled. He knew a lot about Yan Sui. Although they didn’t communicate much, after all, they had lived under the same roof for almost ten years. He will know more or less some things that ordinary people don’t know, including the fact that Gu Lang is Yan Sui’s good friend.
“What do you want him for?” Gu Lang put the mobile phone back in his trouser pocket, swaying his body to the music, and followed up with another question.
This was his last hurrah before falling into an ice cave3T/N: I’m guessing that he expected to be scolded by Yan Sui for arbitrary calling him to the club. Moreover, it’s for Su Siyu. And since our ML, Yan Sui, is an ‘Iceberg CEO’, he describe his eventual ‘demise’ by Yan Sui as ‘falling into an ice cave’., and he had to cherish it.
Su Siyu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked his lips. A grown man doing this would probably make people sick to death, but Su Siyu was not only young but also good-looking. Gu Lang, who was very sure that he liked women, was stunned for a moment, not to mention the guys around him who didn’t have any inhibitions regarding men and women.
“I’m attracted to him. I want to chase him.”
The people around him who were originally tempted to seduce Su Siyu silently stepped back after hearing his words. Yan Sui has such an influence on their generation. Not to mention whether Yan Sui has the possibility to like him or not, but anyone who has unrequited love for Yan Sui is not something that they can touch.
Su Siyu took in the reactions of the people around him and smiled again, with an inexplicable evil aura. He thought, this is Yan Sui. Even if he is not around, there is no one in the entire Haicheng and the entire Xia Country who is not afraid of him. How could he give up on him like this?
He was originally his husband, the husband he wanted to renew their relationship with.
***
This topic, with a lingering sense of unfinished taste, ended like this. Everyone continued to drink, chat, and play games, against the backdrop of deafening rock music. Until, from the door of the private room that was pushed open countless times, at Su Siyu’s request, Yan Sui, invited by Gu Lang, arrived.
Gu Lang’s position has always been facing the door. The moment he saw Yan Sui, he immediately straightened his body, and his expression also turned serious. Others also noticed his abnormality and followed his gaze, and without exception, they displayed the same expression and reaction as Gu Lang.
“Fuck! Who brought the iceberg here?” Someone whispered in a low voice, clearly very unwilling for Yan Sui to come, but his words were only enough for him to hear.
In less than ten seconds, the only sound left in the entire private room was the sound of rock music. Gu Lang glanced around, and the person he glanced at immediately pressed the pause button. Then, in the huge luxurious private room, there was only the leisurely sound of Yan Sui’s footsteps as he walked step by step.
He swept Gu Lang a glance, and then chose a seat and sat down. The others still didn’t dare to move rashly. They all lowered their heads and looked like they were waiting for criticism. It’s estimated that when they are in front of their father, they will never be so quiet and obedient.
Su Siyu didn’t expect that Yan Sui’s arrival would lead to such a dramatic development. Even if they were wary of Yan Sui, they shouldn’t be so afraid of him to such a state. This is even more exaggerated than a mouse meeting a cat.
Affected by this kind of mood, Su Siyu couldn’t think of what else he could do for a moment. His original plan was to start when everyone was having fun and couldn’t pay attention to him and Yan Sui.
“What’s the matter?” Yan Sui tugged on his collar and looked at Gu Lang, his brows slightly furrowed. He really didn’t like this kind of occasion. Furthermore, when he came, everyone would not have a good time anymore. He would only come over when someone caused some trouble that couldn’t be dealt with.
“I didn’t cause any trouble,” Gu Lang said subconsciously, followed by a group of people who followed him to shake their heads.
Yan Sui4T/N: The author type 顧朗 (Gù Lǎng) here, I assume this is a typo and the author mean Yan Sui, since Gu Lang is introduced as the eldest young master of the Gu family in Chapter 004. Not the patriarch. was the first person who became the patriarch of the family in their generation. They obviously grew up together, but gradually, Yan Sui became the person they couldn’t catch up with even if they tried.
A lot of troubles they didn’t want their elders to know about and couldn’t be dealt with by themselves were solved by Yan Sui with just two phone calls. Even if they were unwilling to accept it, it wouldn’t work. Furthermore, what’s even more ruthless is that after Yan Sui took care of the trouble, he turned around and reprimanded them, being even harsher than their own parents. Whether it’s those who have experienced it personally or those who just watched it, the impression remains profound to this day.
The ones who were about the same age as him had all restrained themselves a lot in the past few years. It wasn’t that they didn’t like to play anymore, but Yan Sui was just too scary.
“It’s him. He asked Gu Lang to invite you.”
Soon someone sold Su Siyu. Su Siyu was five to six to seven or eight years younger than these people. Originally, they couldn’t even play together. He specifically inquired about Gu Lang, and then became a male companion for one of them, and then came in.
But in the end, he is not only twenty-two years old, he has lived an extra lifetime, and has encountered more embarrassing scenes than this.
“It’s me,” Su Siyu took two steps forward. The way he walks is very exquisite, he deliberately shows off his figure without being too pretentious, which will make people have obscene and evil thoughts. In short, everyone who knows him thinks that his whole person is pleasing to the eye from the inside out.
“I’m Su Siyu. I want to get to know you.”
Yan Sui raised his eyes, glancing over at Su Siyu, who was slightly nervous and apprehensive, and then fell on Gu Lang again. His brows furrowed, but he understood his true intention of wanting to watch the excitement. He slowly stood up and walked, but only passed Su Siyu, and then placed a hand on Gu Lang’s shoulder, saying, “You guys continue to play.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly left the private room without stopping at all; completely ignoring Su Siyu.
It’s very obvious that Su Siyu wanted to get to know Yan Sui, but Yan Sui didn’t want to get to know him.
The author has something to say:
I’m going to send you a small theater, please accept it~~~
Gu Lang: Xiao Tingzi, wake up, someone is chasing your Lao Gong~~~
Yan Sui: Try and wake him up once?
Gu Lang: …I don’t dare. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ (I must have been hit hard on the head by my mother just now!)
