She looked at Yan Sui and Meng Ting who were sitting next to her, then at Zhen Han, and sighed softly, “Sui Sui, I don’t know what kind of difficulties he has, but he’s a very good person.”
Such difficulties may be as difficult for Yan Sui and Zhen Han to understand as her decision at that time, but the fact is, if it were possible, they would never want to face this kind of choice.
Yan Sui neither nodded nor shook his head. His feelings for Yan Yu are very complicated. He doesn’t know whether he hates him or not, but he feels that many things have continued to this day and there should be a reasonable answer.
“Don’t let my sister-in-law know about this matter,” Yan Manjia didn’t want to mention He Wan. She looked unhappy when talking about her, and her eyes became colder, “My brother was almost forced to ‘die’ by her back then.”
Of course, there is some element of misplaced anger in this words, but only a little. He Wan was not only distorting Yan Sui’s affairs but even more so towards Yan Yu. It was precisely because he ‘died’ that she transferred her hatred to Yan Sui.
Yan Sui nodded slightly and looked at Yan Manjia. Zhen Han also looked over and said, “Everyone should come back and live here.”
This ‘everyone’ includes Yan Manjia as well as Zhen Han. There are rooms belonging to them in the Yan’s residence, and Zhen Han’s place of work is already close by. He had been unwilling to come back because of Yan Manjia, but now that the matter had been cleared up, it was more convenient for him to come back and live here.
Yan Manjia had just returned to the country. Although she had other places to stay in Haicheng, this place had a different meaning to her. She was one of the few people that Yan Sui and Zhen Han could barely accept as family.
“What do you say, Xiao Ting Ting?” Yan Manjia looked at Meng Ting, who had remained silent after they spoke. It’s just that Yan Sui and Zhen Han are Sui Sui and Han Han, and only he has an extra ‘Xiao’ for no reason at all.
Meng Ting hugged Yan Sui’s arm tightly and replied to Yan Manjia’s words, “I have no objection. I listen to Yan Sui.”
He thought for a moment and then admonished Yan Manjia and Zhen Han, “You guys should be good too, listen to Yan Sui. He has to support us, which is very hard.”
It seemed that if they didn’t come back to live here, it meant they were not good, not listening to Yan Sui, and not understanding the hardship of being the patriarch of the family.
After Meng Ting said this, Zhen Han, who was still a little reluctant at first, had nothing to say.
After thinking for a while, Zhen Han glared at Meng Ting again and said with a hint of sarcasm, “You are the most well-behaved.”
Meng Ting didn’t hear the sarcasm, but even if he heard it, he might not care. He nodded, “Of course, I listen to Yan Sui the most.”
Hearing this, Zhen Han rolled his eyes towards the sky. Yan Manjia covered her mouth with joy and leaned forward. Before she had time to do anything to Meng Ting, Yan Sui turned sideways, blocking Yan Manjia’s sight. Then he rubbed Meng Ting’s hair as a reward.
Meng Ting raised his eyes to meet Yan Sui’s gaze and smiled softly, extremely considerate and well-behaved.
Zhen Han glanced at them and frowned slightly. He looked at Yan Manjia with a slightly scrutinizing look, “Is it possible that Xiao Bastard has returned as well?” That’s why she chased him back to the country. Looking at Yan Manjia’s past deeds, it was entirely possible.
But Yan Manjia shook her head. A faint smile appeared on her lips, and she replied seriously to Zhen Han’s words, “I don’t know. I haven’t contacted him for three years. I came back because I wanted to come back.”
Zhen Han took a serious look at Yan Manjia, then turned his head away, still very cold.
Yan Sui thought of something and turned to Yan Manjia and said, “By the way, Meng Ting doesn’t like foreign etiquette. Auntie, please pay more attention in the future.”
When Yan Manjia heard this, she could no longer be graceful. His smile turned into an angry glare, “My nephew-in-law is so cute, why can’t I kiss him?”
Meng Ting, who was listening to their words carefully, immediately shook his head when he heard this, “You can’t. I will only kiss Yan Sui.” Didn’t he already tell her?
“Please don’t kiss Yan Sui either, okay?”
Although Meng Ting’s tone is one of negotiation, but if Yan Manjia really came over regardless of everything, he still had to block her. His Yan Sui would not be kissed by anyone else, Meng Ting was extremely sure of this.
Yan Manjia covered her chest and sat back on the sofa chair. Her little heart trembled at the cute look in Meng Ting’s sudden look.
Zhen Han made a ‘tsk’ sound in disgust. He raised his chin, stood up, and was about to walk out the door. But at this moment, Yan Manjia, who was supposed to be sitting quietly, suddenly rushed over, and Zhen Han subconsciously caught her.
Then she held Zhen Han’s face and his left cheeks, right cheeks, forehead, and chin were kissed all over, “Mwah, mwah, mwah… this old mother misses you to death.”
As she was kissing him, she suddenly started crying ‘sob, sob, sob’ again. Zhen Han was covered in saliva and the whole person felt terrible. He couldn’t push Yan Manjia away, but he couldn’t stand it either.
“What are you crying for?” Zhen Han said in disgust, but still pulled Yan Manjia up. Yan Manjia then threw himself onto Zhen Han’s chest.
“This old mother hugging her own son, can’t I cry? I’m going to cry…”
Zhen Han looked at his clean, ironed clothes, now messed up by Yan Manjia, and the whole person felt like going crazy.
He looked at Yan Sui for help, but Yan Sui only gave him a faint glance. He didn’t even give him a chance to send a distress signal to Meng Ting. He turned Meng Ting away and led him out of the study room, leaving the space in the study to the mother and son.
Neither Yan Sui nor Meng Ting had such a thing as maternal love in their lives. They couldn’t quite understand Yan Manjia’s sudden emotional outburst, but they could somewhat understand some of her feelings. That feeling of eagerness to repair her relationship with Zhen Han.

“Auntie is a bit strange, but she’s also quite cute.”
After returning to their room, Meng Ting lowered his guard and thought about it for a while before coming to this conclusion.
Yan Sui rubbed Meng Ting’s hair but felt it was not enough, so he brought his hand back to the front and rubbed his tender cheeks again. Meng Ting stood still obediently, allowing Yan Sui to take liberties with him. When Yan Sui finished rubbing and retracted his hand, Meng Ting took another step closer, reached out his hand, and hugged Yan Sui’s waist tightly.
The two of them retreated to the bed step by step without realizing it. Yan Sui sat down, with Meng Ting still clinging to him. He raised his head and glanced at Yan Sui, then suddenly exerted his strength and threw the person onto the bed. He hugged Yan Sui’s neck, his forehead resting in the crook of his neck, rubbing back and forth.
He seemed to have something particularly important to say, but he was a little embarrassed. After a long time, he said in a low voice, “Yan Sui, you can only kiss me, okay?”
Yan Sui laughed helplessly, Meng Ting was still entangled in this.
“Very concerned?”
When Yan Sui asked this question, he also felt unhappy when he thought of other people who might kiss his Meng Ting.
“Um. I don’t like it. I especially don’t like it.” Meng Ting lay on Yan Sui’s body, looking at the person with a pitiful and adorable expression.
Yan Sui embraced Meng Ting and propped him up so that the two of them could look at each other. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Yan Sui promised, “I know, I won’t kiss anyone else.”
Meng Ting didn’t respond. He pressed his lips and kissed Yan Sui from forehead to chin seriously. Then he leaned into Yan Sui’s ear and replied, “You’re also well-behaved.”
Meng Ting couldn’t figure out why both Yan Manjia and Zhen Han wanted to say bad things about such a well-behaved Yan Sui.
When Yan Sui heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He turned around and put Meng Ting underneath his body, his eyes fell on his lips, and he leaned down, exchanging a sweet and sticky kiss. Although it is inevitable that they will catch fire, but Yan Sui is more or less somewhat experienced in the matter of patience.
Before going to sleep, Meng Ting took the initiative to come forward again and give the person a hug, “I can’t help you, but I will always be with you.”
Meng Ting is insensitive to other people and other things, but Yan Sui’s emotions and matters related to him are an exception. Yan Manjia’s words made Yan Sui very concerned, and he could feel it.
Yan Sui let out a gentle hum. The little bit of sadness that was still left in his heart disappeared.
The feeling of being accompanied by someone was very good.
***
Time flies and the morning of July 7th arrives. This day is the wedding day of Yan Sui and Meng Ting. The place where the wedding was held was in Yan’s old house, which was also a recognition of Meng Ting’s identity.
Starting two days ago, everyone except Meng Ting became completely busy. Apart from being dragged to try on the wedding clothes, he didn’t need to worry about anything else. All he had to do was walk the dog, play with the cat, and do what he liked.
Yan Manjia is back in Yan’s residence. She couldn’t help with other things, but she could fend off He Wan, which was a big help.
Yesterday, He Wan came over and was attacked verbally1懟 (duì): dislike; hate; (Internet slang) to attack verbally; to publicly criticize; to call out. by Yan Manjia for half an hour. She left in a huff and hasn’t come back until now. However, Yan Manjia has returned, so even if He Wan doesn’t come here today, it won’t be a big deal.
Besides, He Wan will definitely not be content with not coming. The only thing she can control is Yan Sui’s marriage; and now is the time for her to taste the fruits of her labor. How could she not come?
Most of the ancestors of the Yan family were literati and officials. They are a truly top-notch noble family with a rich background, so this wedding is not a Western-style, but a festive old-fashioned wedding.
After Meng Ting got up, he went to the room that Uncle Xiao had prepared for him, where he changed into his wedding clothes.
The fabric was woven with gold, silver, and black threads on a crimson satin base. It was not overly extravagant, yet exquisitely crafted, leaving everyone in awe. When he emerged from the dressing room, the eyes of the people waiting in the room went wide.
Meng Ting’s skin color was already fair, and against the backdrop of the crimson wedding attire, it appeared as white as snow, yet more vibrant and alive. His already gorgeous facial features were even more charming at this moment.
He glanced at the mirror, turned his head to look at Yan Sui, and then asked softly, “Does it look good?”
Yan Sui’s dazed eyes met Meng Ting’s gaze, softening subtly. He gently nodded, “It looks good.”
No embellishment is needed to prove it, Meng Ting looks good dressed like this.
When Meng Ting heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were filled with joy. He took a few steps closer and gently held Yan Sui’s hand, “Yan Sui, I’m so happy.”
“What are you happy about?” Yan Sui asked while knowing the answer. but he also held Meng Ting’s hand back. The pads of his thumbs rubbed the scars on his palms, but he still felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Meng Ting looked at Yan Sui in surprise when he heard this, but still said truthfully, “I’m happy to marry you.”
Yan Manjia and several servants who were still in the room silently retreated. There was no more space for them here.
Yan Sui gently pulled Meng Ting into his arms, and his kiss fell on his forehead, “I’m happy too.”
Before he turned twenty-eight, no, before last month, he never imagined that one day he would attend his wedding in such a mood.
Upon hearing this, Meng Ting hugged Yan Sui back and rubbed against him in satisfaction. In the ceremony that Meng Ting recognized, the most important thing was Yan Sui and their marriage certificate. As for this kind of wedding banquet, he didn’t pay much attention to it, but he didn’t want to object to it either.
Yan Sui took Meng Ting back to their room, and then Yan Sui changed into the same style of wedding attire as Meng Ting.
When Meng Ting wears his wedding attire, he looks exquisite and beautiful, but when Yan Sui wears his wedding attire, there is a very special feeling. The festive crimson color toned down his growing presence, allowing people to notice things beyond his aura and demeanor.
Meng Ting blinked, walked behind Yan Sui, stood on tiptoes, and pounced on his back. His tone was filled with joy, but also some inexplicable worry, “Oh my, you look too good in this, too attractive.”
The kind of handsomeness that was immediately apparent at a glance, elegant and mature, full of charm. In short, very attractive.
Yan Sui bent down slightly, his hand sliding down to Meng Ting’s thigh, and just like that, he lifted the person onto his back.
Meng Ting wrapped his hands around Yan Sui’s neck, he pressed his slightly warm cheek against the person and asked in a low voice, “What are you carrying me for?”
A smile appeared on Yan Sui’s face when he heard this, “Carry you to meet the ancestors of our Yan family.”
