As the time for the competition was quickly approaching, the Masters had already come to this country. Although Meng Yang would not be taking part in this competition, he still went to the hotel by the lake under the mountain with them. The reason being, Meng Yang was invited by the organisers to participate in the banquet and interview before the competition.

When the main banquet in the daytime was over, there would be various themed banquets held in the evening. Celsey had booked the most beautiful lakeside banquet hall in the hotel and invited all young people under 25 to participate in his banquet. The theme was white. All people who went to the banquet must wear white shirts.

After taking a shower, Meng Yang came out of the bathroom, took a white shirt from Luo Xiu's clothes, put it on, then put on blue jeans. As his belly has already started being shaped, all the waistbands have changed. His own shirts were now just right fitting. Hence, he chose Luo Xiu's shirt which was wide enough that even if it was tucked in at the front, it wouldn't show his belly bulging.

Putting down the phone, Luo Xiu walked to Meng Yang. Holding his waist, looking at him, Luo Xiu spoke, "No drinking, come back early."

"How could I drink." Meng Yang stepped on his toes to kiss him, "Don't worry, I won't stay for long."

Looking at Meng Yang who was wearing his shirt, which revealed his collarbone, Luo Xiu didn't want to let him go out at all. He looked too clean and alluring, like a half-opened pure white rose, people couldn't help but look forward to the time he would bloom.

Meng Yang rolled his sleeves to his elbows and kissed Luo Xiu's chin again, "I'm leaving."

Luo Xiu watched him leave. Although he arranged for someone to follow Meng Yang, Luo Xiu still couldn't calm down and feel at ease. Because he knew, as long as Meng Yang went out, someone would be attracted to him. Yet, Luo Xiu did not stop Meng Yang from leaving. Even though Meng Yang had married him and was having his child, Luo Xiu did not want to let Meng Yang miss out on what he should experience at his age because of his selfishness. Once such things were done, after his young age passed, the feeling and meaning would be completely different.

"Brother." Meng Yang walked to Wu Feng and others who were waiting for him in front.

"Wow, are you wearing Director Luo's shirt?" Looking at Meng Yang, Wu Feng asked, "he actually let you out like this?"

"My shirt is too tight, and I didn't bring any other white clothes, so I took his shirt and put it on. It's very comfortable to wear." Meng Yang lowered his head to look at himself, then asked suspiciously: " It doesn't look good?"

"...That's not true." Wu Feng shook his head. To be honest, there was nothing wrong with the clothes. The only problem was that the feeling Meng Yang gave wearing it was too seductive.

Beautiful young people in white clothes were walking towards the lakeside banquet hall, gradually coming together. This attracted a lot of attention along the way.

After Meng Yang and the others entered the banquet hall, Celsey, who was talking to a friend, saw Meng Yang and immediately walked towards him.

Meng Yang introduced his brothers to Celsey. After Celsey greeted them, he took Meng Yang to greet his friends in the perfume circle, then led Meng Yang to a small bar that could only be used by the host of the banquet.

Looking up and down at Meng Yang, Celsey spoke, "I still think it's a pity how you got married so early. You can make many men crazy about you like this."

"Even if you let me choose all the men in the world, I'll only choose my husband." Meng Yang replied with a smile.

After walking to the bar, Celsey adjusted a glass of cocktail and put it in front of Meng Yang, "Drink and see, the amount of alcohol in this glass is negligible, I guarantee you won't get drunk."

Meng Yang picked up the glass and smelled it. Just by smelling the smell, he knew this drink must be delicious, but he could only regretfully reject: "I am in a special period, so I can only smell it, wait until a few months later, then I'll definitely taste your cocktail."

Although Celsey didn't know about what this special period he was talking about, he didn't persuade him to drink anymore. He made himself a glass of wine and questioned, "I heard you won't participate in this competition?"

"I hate going into naturally formed mountains and forests." Meng Yang answered.

"To be honest, I hate it too, and I really don't understand why, as a perfumer, I need to show the ability to survive in the wild."

In this competition, the contestants would go into the mountains. Starting from collecting fresh raw materials, extracting them and then mixing them. They had a total of three days to find the raw materials they could use on the mountain. The organizer would review the entire process through a live broadcast. In this way, the perfume competition would be more enjoyable and attract more attention.

Most of the various flowers and plants on the nearby mountains were artificially planted, however, since they have been planted for many years to allow them to grow naturally, this place was considered semi-wild.

"There are a lot of live broadcasts now. In order to make a dish, or to make something, they go to the mountains or the sea to start live broadcasts by collecting raw materials. And the attention is very high. Many celebrities have begun to rely on this to increase their popularity. Maybe those who came up with this game got their inspiration from that."

Meng Yang remembered that in his previous life, this competition was only held in his junior year. However, in this life it was advanced. He felt it was probably due to him winning first place in the international competition. Which must have made these Western countries want to hold another perfume-making competition this year.

"The company insisted on me participating, saying the popularity this time would be very high. So it will be a good opportunity to increase popularity and fame to increase sales. If I knew you wouldn't participate, I would have insisted on not participating." Celsey spoke up.

Taking out a small finger-size bottle from his pants pocket, Meng Yang handed it to him, "You smell this."

Celsey took the bottle and opened it, fanning it a few times, then closed his eyes to feel it seriously.

Seemingly to be lost in the fragrance, Celsey stayed still without opening his eyes or speaking for a while. Looking at his enjoying expression, Meng Yang already knew how he felt.

"Seductive, sexy." Finally opening his eyes, Celsey exclaimed: "It's really wonderful. I can't imagine how you managed to make this scent in such a short time."

"Because I have the best man in the world." Meng Yang's eyes were full of triumph. When he thought of what happened that night, he couldn't help his blushing and thumping heartbeat.

"I already feel it in your perfume." Celsey commented: "He must be very, very sexy."

"I have tried my best to make the perfume neutral as much as possible, otherwise, I would have made a bottle of male hormones or aphrodisiacs. Anyway, it definitely won't be suitable for perfume." Meng Yang spoke.

The lakeside banquet hall had the lowest terrain and was an open-air banquet hall. So many young people in white clothes gathering together to look at the beautiful scenery attracted a lot of onlookers.

Luo Xiu also joined the crowd of onlookers. He walked to the corridor above the banquet hall and looked down. Even though there were so many people below wearing white clothes, he quickly found Meng Yang's location.

Looking at Meng Yang who was sitting on the edge of the bar talking to Celsey, Luo Xiu suddenly felt anxious about gains and losses. In order to let Meng Yang have no regrets, choosing to let him go was something he definitely couldn't do. And he would never do so, but he couldn't help but worry that Meng Yang would regret it in the future.

While Meng Yang and Celsey were talking about perfume, the other people who came to the banquet also looked at them from time to time. Because after Meng Yang came in, Celsey had been talking only to him, and the small bar in the banquet was a place where the host of the banquet talks privately with his best friend. This was something everyone knew.

Yu Junchen and his senior brothers also came. Seeing Celsey talking to Meng Yang, they couldn't help discussing it.

"Is the relationship between Celsey and Meng Yang so good? The two of them have been talking for a while, and Celsey doesn't even care about the others, only talking to Meng Yang."

"Everyone knows they are now in a cooperative relationship. They should be talking about perfume."

"There is no need to talk for so long at the banquet, right?"

"Meng Yang's perfume sales are amazing, plus now he has become friends with Celsey and has cooperation with him. In the Western perfume industry, it can be said to be like a fish in water, he has earned a lot."

"No matter how much he earns now, he certainly can't afford that manor. As the wife of the chairman of the Luo group, no one will definitely consider how much he earns. It's purely for hobbies. Look at this competition, even Celsey participated, but when he says he won't participate, he won't participate. No one can make him participate."

"It can only be said that people's lives are good. We can't envy such a life."

"How many good deeds did he do in his last life to have such a good destiny in this life? It seems I have to do more good deeds and accumulate more virtues. Even if I can't have it in this life. I hope I can have it in the next life."

Listening to them, Yu Junchen looked at Meng Yang and Celsey who were talking from time to time.

"Go back." Wen Yuan said after seeing the envy flashing in Yu Junchen's eyes: "Go back to the room and rest. After the game starts, perform well. I believe you'll be able to shine and get everyone's attention. Focus, one day eventually, you'll surpass him."

Yu Junchen glanced at him but did not speak nor leave.

Glancing at the time, Meng Yang spoke, "I should go back. My husband is still waiting for me. I'll go and talk to my senior brothers."

Celsey nodded in agreement. After watching Meng Yang approach his seniors, he also went to chat with his friends.

After Meng Yang approached, Wu Feng looked at him then asked, "You have a good relationship with Celsey now? You can talk for so long."

"I can talk with him quite well. Plus, now that we are in a cooperative relationship, there are many things to discuss and decide." Meng Yang replied.

"Almost everyone in the lobby was paying attention to the two of you just now. You two are now the most talkative people in the perfume industry. Everyone thought you two would become competitors. No one thought you would cooperate."

"We are indeed in a relationship where competition and cooperation coexist." Meng Yang smiled, "I should go back to my room. Uncle Luo is waiting for me. You guys have fun."

After Meng Yang greeted Wu Feng and the others, he left the banquet hall and walked towards the room.

Meng Yang walked all the way, attracting the attention of all the people who passed by. If it weren't for the assistants and bodyguards behind him, he wouldn't know how many times he had been stopped to strike up a conversation now.

Seeing the person in front, Meng Yang smiled, then quickly walked towards him.

Putting his suit jacket on Meng Yang's body, Luo Xiu wrapped his arm around him before asking, "Did you have fun?"

"Just chatted with Celsey for a while about my new perfume, then smelled his wine. I promise I didn't drink a drop." Meng Yang answered with a smile.

Luo Xiu stroked his face, then hugged him back to the room.

After going to the bathroom and cleaning briefly before going to bed in his nightgown, Meng Yang nuzzled into Luo Xiu's arms.

Raising his head, Meng Yang kissed Luo Xiu, then waited for Luo Xiu's next move, however, Luo Xiu just watched him motionless.

"What's wrong?" Meng Yang asked suspiciously.

"If you were not married to me, if you were not pregnant, you could have enjoyed and had fun at the banquet now." Luo Xiu looked into Meng Yang's eyes, "You are less than twenty years old. If you are bound by marriage and children, you won't be able to feel many things that you should enjoy or experience. After many years, you might have regrets in your heart."

"If it's something I want to do but can't do, then I might feel regretful in the future. But compared to those things, I want to spend more time with you so that I can feel happy." Meng Yang looked at him before speaking, "Do I have to put down the happiness I have now in order to do things just for the reason I might regret in the future? Then do some things I think should be doing? That'll cause me real regret in the future."

"I really..." Meng Yang put his hand on his stomach, "I really look forward to the birth of this child. Neither he nor you are my chains, but my happiness."

Luo Xiu kissed Meng Yang again.

After the start of the game, while the contestants made preparations, Meng Yang left the hotel with Luo Xiu. He did not stay in the hotel room to watch the live broadcast. Although he was very interested in the live broadcast game with the nature of survival in the wild, there was still some resistance in his heart.

Meng Yang and Luo Xiu didn't return to the manor either, as Luo Xiu's company had something to deal with, hence, they lived in a villa in the city.

As he slept a bit late yesterday, Meng Yang got up late. Walking to the living room, he saw Luo Xiu sitting on the sofa as if thinking about something. He walked over and sat down, leaning on him.

Hugging Meng Yang, Luo Xiu kissed him.

Taking a sip of the warm water that his helper offered him, Meng Yang then looked at Luo Xiu questioning, "Did you meet with Cheng Fangfei a little while ago?"

"She's been away for a while now." Looking at Meng Yang, Luo Xiu spoke, "Did you see?"

"I just got up, how could I see?" Meng Yang tapped on his nose after speaking.

Luo Xiu nodded, indicating he understood.

"Who is the other woman?" Meng Yang asked.

"My mother." Luo Xiu answered.

"She's also in this country?" Meng Yang asked unexpectedly.

"Her lover's condition improved, so she took him on vacation." Looking at Meng Yang, Luo Xiu spoke, "After a while, she'll return to China. You'll definitely meet her at that time. She is very mean and difficult to get along with. So you have to be psychologically prepared and don't be affected by anything she says."

"Then what should I do?" Meng Yang asked.

"Ignore her. No matter what she says or does, don't care about her. Let me take care of the rest. I won't let her disturb our lives for too long."

"For you to say so, it seems the situation you met just now must be very unpleasant. After she returns to China, it'll inevitably be another violent storm." Meng Yang sighed, "But no matter what, she is still after all your mother."

"Mother." Luo Xiu smiled sarcastically: "These years I tolerated her as much as I could, but I don't want you to endure her with me. You don't owe her anything. There is no need to endure her just because you married me. If necessary, I'll announce in advance that Luo Sheng is not my son. Even if she severs the mother-child relationship with me, I'll never let her hurt you."

"I believe in you." Meng Yang said, holding his hand. He knew Luo Xiu would protect him. He would also become the pillar of Luo Xiu's heart, supporting him and warming him.

The three-day match was in progress. Meng Yang didn't click on the live broadcast to watch, yet asked his assistant to tell him about the progress of the match.

Three days later, at the end of the competition, Celsey won first place unexpectedly. Although he did not perform as well as some people in the process of collecting raw materials, there was no one among the contestants who could surpass his talent in perfumery. This made others unable to outdo him. He used fewer raw materials than others to produce better perfume.

As for Yu Junchen and Wu Feng, they were worthy of their training in the mountains for more than a month. They performed very well in collecting raw materials, but in the final perfume score and voting, they still failed to make the top ten.

Meng Yang went to the banquet after the game. After congratulating Celsey, he went to talk to Wu Feng and the others.

"I heard you performed very well in collecting raw materials this time. There's been news in the country praising your performance. It seems that the hardships in the mountains were rewarded." Meng Yang spoke.

"But in the end, I still couldn't make the top ten." Wu Feng replied: "If you had taken part, we would have at least been in the top three. No matter how good we are collecting raw materials, the final perfume making is still no better than others."

Subconsciously putting his hand on his stomach, Meng Yang just smiled without speaking. Even if he wanted to take part, it was impossible to participate, not to mention he himself did not want to take part in such a competition.

Yu Junchen stood while listening to them. He happened to see Meng Yang's movements. It stunned him for a moment. After he thought through, from the reason why Meng Yang didn't participate in the competition to what Meng Yang's action meant, his face immediately became difficult to look at.

Meng Yang also noticed Yu Junchen's eyes and expressions. The two looked at each other for a while. Meng Yang's eyes were full of fearlessness and toughness. Only when Yu Junchen inexplicably removed his eyes did this brief short time gaze end.

"Thinking about it now, this game is really nondescript." Wu Feng didn't notice the eye contact between Meng Yang and Yu Junchen, and continued: "In the end, is it comparing the ability to survive in the wild and the ability to gather raw materials or making the better perfume? If it's comparing the former, why does the scoring and voting method remain the same? If it's the latter, then what is the point of what we have done these three days and two nights?"

"At least this competition has received unprecedented heat and attention. It has also achieved the results the organisers wanted, which is also a good thing." Qin Hong spoke.

"I'll never participate next time, anyway. Whoever loves to participate can participate." Wu Feng curled his lips, "Why did I have to work so hard just so they can just get the effect they want."

As the game was over, Wu Feng and the others would return to China. However, Meng Yang did not return to China at the same time as them, as he would be participating in a very important spice auction. Taking part in this auction could be said to be the primary purpose of why he had come to this country.

The spice auctions in Western countries were based on whoever bids the higher price. There was no guessing bidding as in the spice city in China. Therefore, Meng Yang was mentally prepared to spend a lot of money to get these two spices.

Meng Yang was a little nervous, hence, Luo Xiu held his hand to comfort him: "Don't be nervous, since you want it, we will definitely be able to take it. It's not a big deal to spend more money."

"I checked a lot of information, but I still couldn't find a better substitute for these two spices for the time being. I have to take them home so Su Di's situation could get better." Meng Yang held Luo Xiu's hand back: "If price guessing could be conducted here, I wouldn't feel nervous."

The auction began. Today, a total of ten rare spices were going to be auctioned. Those who came to participate in the auction were either the rich or famous perfumers. They were constantly discussing with the people around them and holding up their paddles to bid.

This kind of bidding method where anyone could pay more money also needed certain skills. The skills were based on the price of each bid and the time interval between the bids.

The assistant, who was instructed to take the two spices, used skilful bidding and successfully won the two spices. Although the price was a bit high, it was worth it.

Seeing Meng Yang finally smile, Luo Xiu's mood improved. Smiling, he took Meng Yang into his arms and kissed him.

At this moment, there were two pairs of eyes watching their every move. Following the line of sight he felt, Meng Yang saw Cheng Fangfei sitting with another older woman. Although he had not seen that woman, he intuitively knew it was Luo Xiu's mother.

Luo Xiu also followed Meng Yang's sight.

"Is that your mother?" Meng Yang asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Turning his head back, Luo Xiu replied.

Meng Yang thought he would not meet Luo Xiu's mother until he returned to China. He didn't expect to see her in advance. It seems he must meet her today.

After the auction was over, the assistant went to deal with the rest, and Luo Xiu wanted to avoid contact between Meng Yang and his mother as much as possible, so he planned to take Meng Yang away directly. However, his mother and Cheng Fangfei had already come to them.

"Am I a tiger?" Looking at Luo Xiu, Xu Minhua spoke, "Are you afraid he won't make it if I eat him? Hiding him like this."

"You have always been very clear about yourself." Luo Xiu replied blankly.

"You don't have to be so guarded against me. Since you chose the person after so many years, I won't say anything, I just want you to be happy." Xu Minhua looked at Meng Yang, "Your name is Meng Yang?"

"Yes, my name is Meng Yang, hello mother-in-law." Meng Yang said with a smile. He didn't want to call Xu Minhua Mom, let alone anything sounding similar to a mother, because for Luo Xiu, she was never a qualified mother.

"Since you have become a member of our Luo family, you are responsible for maintaining the stability of this family together with the rest of the Luo family, not creating conflicts." Xu Minhua spoke while looking at Meng Yang.

"Yes, I remember." Meng Yang replied obediently.

"He looks like a pretty obedient child." Xu Minhua looked at Luo Xiu again before speaking, "I hope your own choice is what you really want. I'll return to China in a few days. Don't worry, as long as he is really good. I will never embarrass him on purpose, nor will I embarrass you."

"I hope you can really do as you say." Luo Xiu replied: "Meng Yang is still young. I hope you can be more tolerant of him and less harsh. There is one more thing to inform you. Meng Yang is pregnant. You are going to have a grandson again."

Meng Yang had already told Luo Xiu how Yu Junchen had discovered he was pregnant, so they felt they did not need to continue to hide it at all.

"Really? It seems we need to prepare an extra gift for the unborn grandson." Looking at Meng Yang, Xu Minhua spoke calmly: "I have prepared some gifts for you, I'll give them to you when I return to China."

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Meng Yang replied with a smile.

Although Cheng Fangfei had already learned from Luo Sheng that Meng Yang was likely to be pregnant, when she heard Luo Xiu's confirmation with her own ears, she still felt a little panicked, but couldn't show it.

"Meng Yang." Cheng Fangfei didn't forget the purpose of her and Xu Minhua's coming here. Suppressing the panic in her heart, she looked at Meng Yang before speaking: "The two spices you won are very much needed by mom now."

The meaning of Cheng Fangfei's words was to clearly imply what Meng Yang should do.

"Really?" Meng Yang said with an unexpected look: "Is it such a coincidence? I helped a friend to win these two spices. I sent him a message just now, telling him we won it."

"Tell your friend, I am eager to use these two spices, let him transfer them to me first." Xu Minhua spoke.

"My friend is also in a hurry to use it." Meng Yang refused: "I'm really sorry, I won the spices on his behalf. This is his thing, I don't have the right to transfer it for him."

"Those spices are in your hands now, you can just think of any reason to deal with it, can your friends do anything to you?" Xu Minhua frowned unhappily.

Meng Yang turned his head to look at Luo Xiu embarrassed.

"That tough personality of yours, it hasn't changed at all after so many years. Must Meng Yang break his trust, just so he could follow your wishes?" Luo Xiu asked.

"I just want those two kinds of spices, and these two kinds of spices are now in your hands. What kind of tough personality is this?" Xu Minhua retorted.

"You want it, but we don't want to give it. It's as simple as that." Luo Xiu was too lazy to waste time talking nonsense and left directly with his arms around Meng Yang.

Watching them just leave like that, Xu Minhua held back the anger that was about to erupt.

"Mom ..." Cheng Fangfei looked at Xu Minhua, observing her expression.

"He is just relying on Luo Xiu to spoil him now." Xu Minhua spoke with a cold face: "If he thinks that just because he is pregnant with Luo Xiu's child, his status in the Luo family will be stable, I'll let him understand the reality of who has the final say in the Luo family. No matter how many children Luo Xiu has after, I only recognise Luo Sheng as my grandson. "

Cheng Fangfei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her words, then replied, "I'll find the two spices you want, I will find an acquaintance to find out if I can buy them from any other people."

"If you can find it, you must be fast. I don't care about spending more money." Xu Minhua did not expect that Meng Yang would refuse to give her the spices, so she did not continue to bid. Her lover needs these two spices very much now. Hence, Meng Yang's refusal angered her.

"How can I let you pay?" Cheng Fangfei smiled: "Don't worry, we'll find it, I'll buy it for you as soon as possible."

After returning to China, Meng Yang first prepared medicinal aromatherapy for Su Di, then went to visit Su Di with Lu Yunjing.

Xiao Ke told Meng Yang about Su Di's situation during this period, thanking him once again for caring about it. Then they chatted about some things related to Meng Yang.

"Your current perfume sales are really amazing. My dad even said, if you continue to keep it, you might earn more than our family in a few years." Lu Yunjing spoke.

"Also those sleep aids, soothing fragrances and essential oils. They are now essential products for many psychologists. It's hard to buy them even if you want to." Xiao Ke added.

"I usually only pay attention to sales in general. I don't care about how much I earn." Meng Yang replied with a smile.

"I heard the live broadcast of the competition was very hot*. Some of my friends who are not even interested in perfumes watched the live broadcast. They said it was very interesting and that they learned about the perfume production process." Xiao Ke asked: "I am still a bit puzzled, why didn't you participate in this competition? You won the international first place last time."

[TN:*Hot here implies for being extremely popular]

Meng Yang answered: "I didn't want to participate anyway, but because I got pregnant, it was even more impossible to take part."

Lu Yunjing stared openly for a while before returning to God then exclaimed, "You are pregnant?!"

"Yes." Putting his hand on his stomach, Meng Yang replied with a smile: "It's almost five months."

"I was thinking about why you look fat, so you are pregnant." Looking at him, Lu Yunjing asked, "You are less than twenty years old, isn't it too early to have a baby?"

Meng Yang answered: "I want to give Luo Xiu a child as soon as possible. I looked forward to this child before I even married him. Now that I am pregnant as I wished, as long as the child can be born safely and healthy, I can fulfil my wish."

"Since this is what you want and can make you feel happy, then bless both you and this child." Lu Yunjing gave his blessings.

"Congratulations." Xiao Ke congratulated him as well.

"Thank you." Meng Yang smiled: "Sadly, the Luo family won't be calm for a while. I hope everything can pass as soon as possible."

"Did something happen?" Lu Yunjing asked.

"Luo Xiu's mother is coming back." Meng Yang replied.

"What are you going to do?" Looking at Meng Yang worriedly, Lu Yunjing questioned.

"Don't worry, Uncle Luo will protect me." With no fear in his heart, Meng Yang calmly answered.

When Meng Yang returned to the main house of Longling Mountain and got out of the car, he instinctively felt a different atmosphere in the house than usual.

Entering the hall, Meng Yang saw many people sitting in the hall. Luo Xiu's mother Xu Minhua was sitting directly opposite Luo Xiu. On the sofas fn both sides sat Luo Xiu's brother and their wife and children, Luo Sheng. And Yu Junchen was also present.

Meng Yang walked over to Luo Xiu, then sat next to him. With a smile, he looked at Xu Minhua before saying, "Mother, welcome home. I prepared medicinal fragrances from the two spices you needed and sent them to my friend. I was thinking if something was leftover, I can give you some, but there is nothing left. I'm really sorry."

"You only need to have this heart." Suppressing her anger, Xu Minhua spoke as calmly as possible.

Luo Xiu hugged Meng Yang before asking, "Went for dinner with friends?"

"I didn't eat, I went to see Su Di with Yun Jing to take him the freshly prepared aromatherapy." Meng Yang answered, leaning on Luo Xiu.

"Are you hungry?" Luo Xiu asked again, touching Meng Yang's stomach.

"Not hungry." Meng Yang shook his head.

"Bring a cup of milk," Turning his head to look at Uncle Yuan, Luo Xiu spoke.

"Yes." Uncle Yuan raised his hand to signal one of the helpers to make milk.

Although such a big family was sitting there, the atmosphere was not lively at all. The younger generation had nothing to say while, although Luo Xiu's brothers and sister-in-laws had been talking with Xu Minhua, because Luo Xiu was here, they were also cautious not to say the wrong thing.

When it was time to eat, everyone moved to the dining room and sat down.

Meng Yang couldn't eat greasy food. He only drank the fresh and sweet vegetable-spare ribs clear soup specially made for him in the kitchen. He drank it well, but suddenly started to feel nauseous and turned his head to spit it all back on the floor.

Immediately putting down his chopsticks, Luo Xiu held onto Meng Yang, asking worriedly, "Is it uncomfortable?"

Meng Yang shook his head signalling he was okay.

Xu Minhua held the chopsticks hard, feeling Meng Yang was deliberately demonstrating this to her, however, in front of Luo Xiu, she couldn't attack, so she could only endure her anger.

A few helpers walked over quickly with things, some with warm water, some with small spittoons, some with towels, and some quickly cleaned up what Meng Yang had spitted out.

Taking the warm water from the helper, Luo Xiu helped Meng Yang hold it for him to rinse his mouth, then rubbed his back to soothe him.

The others stopped eating and watched this scene. Luo Xiu's nephews and nieces were all startled in surprise, thinking their uncle who was so majestic in normal times had such a gentle side.

Looking at Meng Yang, Luo Xiu spoke, "Go back to your room and rest."

Meng Yang nodded, he was indeed a little uncomfortable. Plus was too lazy to stay and force himself to continue playing family.

Helping Meng Yang up, Luo Xiu hugged him back to the room.

After returning to the room, Luo Xiu helped Meng Yang lie down on the bed, hugged him in his arms before speaking "I'll send someone to bring some porridge."

"Can't eat." Meng Yang shook his head, "Let's ask for it when I want to eat. I'll just lie down for a while. You go down to eat, or they'll think I did it on purpose."

"I won't go, I'm not comfortable with them. If you have any plans, you can do them as you like. You don't have to endure so hard." Kissing Meng Yang's forehead, Luo Xiu spoke: "In a few days, the legal process of severing the relationship between father and son with Luo Sheng will go through. After I get the judgment, I'll get Old man Cheng and his family to come then announce in advance how Luo Sheng is not my son. Afterwards, I'll drive everyone else out of Longling Mountain. Then it'll be clean around here."

Meng Yang asked: "Didn't you say you have to wait until the Cheng family's company is forced to retreat, then announce this matter, so it'll be double the blow and excitement for Mr Cheng?"

Luo Xiu and some of his close friends had already started to deal with the Cheng family. According to Luo Xiu's original plan, he would wait for the Cheng family to be forced to the point where there was nowhere to go before telling the old man how his daughter gave birth to Luo Sheng out of an affair. With the successive blows and excitement, Mr Cheng might have a heart attack making him pass away. This was an actual murder without bloodshed. Even if Mr Cheng was not dead, it was not bad to be able to make him ill. As long as Mr Cheng falls, it would be much easier to deal with his two sons.

"If they were willing to rest for a while, I don't mind letting them live a good life for some more time, but they don't want to settle down, wanting to play tricks. So I can only find a reason to get angry, then drive them all away. For them, I've been benevolent, mainly for my mother. Back then, she used the grace of giving birth and bringing me up to force me to marry Cheng Fangfei." Luo Xiu's mother was expected to come back later, however, her lover's condition suddenly improved, so she came much earlier than he expected.

"As long as it doesn't affect your plan, it's okay for me to be a little pissed off for now." Meng Yang was a little worried. If they stun the snake beforehand and let the old man Cheng be prepared, it would get more difficult to be dealt with.

"It's okay, don't worry, we have more than one plan. If this plan can't be continued, then just let another plan continue." Luo Xiu reassured: "Plus I can't wait to see what kind of expression my mother and old man Chen will show after knowing Luo Sheng is not my son. For so many years, I've been waiting to see how she and Mr Cheng will react. For all these years, whether it's the kindness of bringing me up or whatever, I've paid off everything that should be paid. I can get rid of them with no burden and let them end their life earning without doing anything."

Meng Yang sighed in his heart. He really felt sorry for Luo Xiu. No one really cared about his feelings for so many years. During the days and nights when he was struggling alone, his mother and younger brothers were all there enjoying and squandering his hard work. Not even one of them helped him, they even took everything he did for granted, without even the slightest gratitude. And the root cause of all this was Xu Minhua, as she thought these were what Luo Xiu must do as the eldest son.

Luo Xiu's brothers actually didn't have any appetite for food, as they couldn't help but want to say what was in their hearts.

Glancing at the impatient expressions of her sons, after only a few mouthfuls of food, Xu Minhua wiped her mouth and got up to the room. Her sons also immediately got up and followed.

"Mom, elder brother, he really is following the devil now. You must find a way to make him awake."

"Did you know? Meng Yang's perfume company even has branches abroad. My eldest brother kept investing money to help him expand his business, but all the money the business earned belonged to Meng Yang alone, not to the Luo family at all. With the way things are going, I am afraid, even the Luo Group will be given to him in the next step!"

"Mom, you should really persuade eldest brother. Now he only listens to what you say. We don't have the weight to speak in front of him."

"Okay! Have you said enough?!" Xu Minhua spoke angrily: "If you all could fight for a little bit and be able to speak in the company, will we be so passive now?!"

"Before eldest brother got married to Meng Yang, everything was fine. Eldest brother was so powerful, there was no need for us to help him. But after he married that Meng Yang, he wanted to spend all his money on him. It seems this is the case now, I'm afraid even you will have to look after that Meng Yang's face* to live your life in the future."

[TN: *Give MY respect in order for XM to live lavishly.]

"Want me to look at his face? I'm afraid his life is not hard enough, so he can afford some from me!" Xu Minhua spoke coldly: "I naturally have a way to deal with him, don't act rashly and mess up my plans."

Following Luo Sheng back to the room, Yu Junchen looked at Luo Sheng a little worried, "We'll be living here today. Is this really good? What if your father gets angry again?"

"My grandmother let us live, we can live. My father won't say anything." Luo Sheng spoke: "You do not have to worry. Let's just not be the first one to offend either side and wait and see what happens."

Yu Junchen smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, although he was at the Luo house, he didn't have a right to offend anyone. As for strictly speaking, he was still an outsider.

With the previous lessons, Luo Sheng had learned to be smart. He thought of not taking part in it, waiting for Xu Minhua to clean up Meng Yang.

As his school had already started, although Meng Yang started to suffer from morning sickness, because he didn't vomit very often and could endure it, he didn't ask for leave. He just reduced the time to go to school, attending only the important classes.

When Meng Yang was at home, he tried to avoid meeting with Luo Xiu's mother. He didn't want to have a head-on conflict with her, after all, she was Luo Xiu's biological mother anyway. He didn't want to deepen the resentment in Luo Xiu's heart and make Luo Xiu feel even more uncomfortable in his heart.

However, even though he thought so, Xu Minhua didn't think so. She only cared about her own feelings and never considered how other people felt.

Luo Xiu's parents met when they were studying. They were in love and married. His mother's natal family was considered a big family back then. Although it was far inferior to Luo's family, because his father was the second son, his grandfather agreed. Later, his uncle died of cancer in his twenties, and it was his father's turn to take over the family business.

When Luo Xiu's father was still alive, he was afraid of his wife. Xu Minhua became accustomed to being the master of the Luo family. Later, when Luo Xiu came to power, he was quite filial to her. Many years after his father passed away, his mother had a lover and Luo Xiu had no opinion. Now it was not a feudal society, hence he did not have the feudal thought his mother must be widowed for the rest of her life. It's just that his mother had done a lot of things that chilled his heart over the years making their mother-child relationship exhausted.

After Xu Minhua returned to the main residence of Longling Mountain, she naturally wanted to invite her friends who she hadn't seen for a while to gather at home. She wanted to invite more people and hold a banquet to have fun.

In the afternoon, the people who came to the banquet arrived one after another. Xu Minhua took Yu Junchen by her side to greet her acquaintances and friends. From her words, it seemed she was satisfied with Junchen.

Seeing Xu Minhua deliberately showing she valued Yu Junchen more, to embarrass him, Meng Yang didn't care. He planned to sit for a while and then go back to rest.

When Xu Minhua was done greeting her friends, she went to sit down opposite Meng Yang. Looking at him with dissatisfaction, she spoke, "Don't just sit there, you also go and say hello to people. Since you are already married to Luo Xiu, then you should show upbringing and etiquette worthy of your current status."

Meng Yang looked back at her, "Isn't my performance right now just what you want to see?"

"What are you talking about? Do you think I want to see you embarrass the Luo family?" Xu Minhua frowned displeasedly, then turned her head to call out, "Luo Sheng, come here."

Luo Sheng, who was talking to someone, heard Xu Minhua calling him, and immediately walked over.

"I said this before, I hope you can live in harmony, at least in front of outsiders." Xu Minhua commanded: "Luo Sheng, take him to greet the guests."

Giving a glance at Luo Sheng, Meng Yang sneered, then got up and left.

"You stop for me!" Xu Minhua shouted, suppressing her voice.

Ignoring her, Meng Yang turned and left, going to the flower room to read and rest.

Seeing Meng Yang dared to ignore her words, Xu Minhua felt furious. However, because she didn't want to lose face in front of so many people, she could only suppress her anger. Planning to find an opportunity to teach Meng Yang afterwards.

Luo Sheng looked at the back of leaving Meng Yang. Thinking about what Xu Minhua had told him last night, he bowed his head in thought.

When Luo Xiu was present, Xu Minhua's attitude towards Meng Yang was pretty good, as if she was really ready to get along with Meng Yang in harmony. But as long as Luo Xiu was no longer there, Xu Minhua's attitude and face would be very different. Especially her attitude that looks down on Meng Yang. Meng Yang didn't complain to Luo Xiu about it. He pretended as nothing happened, thinking he would endure for a few more days.

Meng Yang now uses the flower room as a study room most of the time. He spent most of his time reading and studying there.

Leaning on the sofa bed, Meng Yang was looking at the notes recorded in the Aromatherapy Branch. The helper used the intercom to inform him Luo Sheng and Yu Junchen had something to do with him. Meng Yang rolled his eyes, then said: "Let them in."

The flower room was enormous. After Luo Sheng entered it, he constantly looked at this place full of mystery and fantasy. Even he felt he couldn't remove his eyes, let alone Yu Junchen who was following him.

Yu Junchen kept looking at the flower room. He looked at every corner, feeling envy in his heart. From Anerfei Manor to this flower room, one could see how much Luo Xiu loved Meng Yang. Although he knew Luo Sheng really loved him, it was impossible for Luo Sheng to do this for him in a short time.

"What's the matter?" Without looking up, Meng Yang asked, still looking at the notes in his hand.

"My friends are here, my grandmother asked Jun Chen and me to take you to chat with my friends. Even if you are not happy in your heart, you should take a few minutes to show the harmony between us." Luo Sheng answered.

"Go and tell her we've been in harmony in front of your friends. If she doesn't believe it, you can describe to her what happened." Meng Yang answered looking up at him.

"..." Luo Sheng was silent for a while: "I hope you know what my grandmother meant doesn't have anything to do with me. I really don't want to provoke you, nor do I have the guts to make trouble with you again. I want to avoid appearing in front of you as much as possible and keep a proper distance from you."

Luo Sheng took the initiative to show weakness to Meng Yang. Just in case his grandmother's plan did not succeed, then he would not be implicated in bad luck.

"I see." Meng Yang replied calmly: "If there's nothing else, you can go out. As for your grandmother, I think you can definitely find a good excuse to deal with her."

Glancing at Meng Yang again, Luo Sheng then turned and left.

Yu Junchen also glanced at Meng Yang, then glanced at the flower room again before turning around and leaving behind Luo Sheng.

The evening banquet was still going on. There were Xu Minhua's friends, Luo Sheng's friends, and Luo Xiu's brothers' friends. Everyone was talking and laughing. Meng Yang was too lazy to show up, hence directly went to the room to rest at night.

After Luo Xiu returned to the main house, he showered, then came out of the bathroom with just a bath towel. He laid on the side of the bed and hugged Meng Yang from behind before asking: "Did they interrupt you to rest? If they are bothering you, I'll let them get out in advance."

"The advantage of a big house is, no matter how much trouble they make, it won't affect me." While sliding the screen of the flat-screen computer with his fingers, Meng Yang answered: "Let them have their final carnival. They won't be happy for long anyway, I can tolerate this time."

Luo Xiu kissed Meng Yang's face.

Meng Yang's mobile rang suddenly, so he held Luo Xiu's hand with one hand and picked up the mobile with the other.

Turning his body over, Meng Yang laid sideways in Luo Xiu's arms and had a conversation with the person on the other end of the phone.

After the call, Meng Yang looked up at Luo Xiu, "Celsey said he wanted to come and play with me. He wanted to bring a few friends over. So I agreed for him to come anytime. He said he'll be here after two days. Now, I have to think about how to entertain them."

"How do you want to entertain them?" Stroking Meng Yang's hair, Luo Xiu questioned.

"They are coming from afar specifically to play with me. Naturally, I shouldn't make him feel too bored. They should be able to do something fun. But we must also consider the actual situation of my pregnancy. It shouldn't be too tiring." Meng Yang sighed, "It seems a bit difficult to satisfy both sides. I can't go to bars and other places. I can't go to other entertainment venues either. Even if I go, because I can't play, I'll look strange there. Seems like I can only find Yunjing, Xiao Ke, and my Senior brother to help me entertain them together, so it'll be more lively."

"Just entertain them at home. You don't have to worry about it, I'll let someone arrange the preparation, you can just invite all your friends over." Luo Xiu spoke, kissing Meng Yang's lips.

"Is it really okay?" Meng Yang looked at him, "Your mother, your nephews and Luo Sheng are planning to take turns for banquets at home these days."

"What's not possible? This is your home with me. We can do whatever we want. If we are not happy, they all have to get out."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Meng Yang kissed him.

"Then the internal massage tonight, do you want to continue?" Luo Xiu's hand went down.

"Of course." Embracing Luo Xiu, Meng Yang kissed him.

While Meng Yang was confused and intrigued by the kiss, the alarm suddenly went off, making him startled.

Luo Xiu immediately hugged him tighter, comforting him: "Don't be afraid."

Meng Yang was stunned for a while before returning to his senses.

"I'll see what's going on, you lie down and don't move." Laying Meng Yang down on the bed, Luo Xiu spoke.

"I'll go too." Meng Yang grabbed Luo Xiu's hand, "I also want to go and see."

Luo Xiu could only get out of bed and fetch a coat. Putting it on top of Meng Yang's nightgown, he then walked out with his arms around Meng Yang.

The sudden sound of the alarm startled everyone in the banquet. They first looked at each other, then asked what happened between them.

"Sir." Uncle Yuan walked towards Luo Xiu quickly.

"What's going on?" Luo Xiu asked with a frown.

"Someone went into Master Meng Yang's flower room to steal something, so the alarm went off." Uncle Yuan replied.

"Who?" Luo Xiu questioned.

"Yes... Master Yu Junchen."

"Bring him to the hall." Luo Xiu ordered.

"Yes." Turning around, Uncle Yuan left.

Under everyone's gaze, his helper took Yu Junchen into the hall. Luo Sheng immediately walked to Yu Junchen's side to protect him. He felt Yu Junchen would not steal anything at all. It must be Meng Yang's design to frame him.

After viewing the monitoring screen sent from the monitoring room, Luo Xiu asked the helper to show Xu Minhua and Luo Sheng the flat-screen computer. Then looked at Yu Junchen to question, "What did you want to steal from the flower room?"

Yu Junchen stood in the middle, his face pale and ugly, unable to say a word.

Both Luo Xiu and Meng Yang knew in their hearts what Yu Junchen wanted to steal. Not only that, but they also knew Yu Junchen would definitely not say it now. Even if he did, it wouldn't matter.

After Xu Minhua and Luo Sheng looked at the surveillance screen, their faces became ugly. They all looked at Yu Junchen waiting for him to answer.

"You want to wait for me to send you to the police station before you are going to say it?" Luo Xiu questioned coldly.

"I... I didn't steal anything," Yu Junchen tried his best to keep himself calm, defending himself: "I saw the door of the flower room was not closed properly. Because I liked the flower room too much, I couldn't help it. I just wanted to go in and stay for a while. When I saw a lot of books on the desks and bookshelves, I flipped through them. I really didn't want to steal anything."

"It's so obvious you're looking for something, just flipped through it casually? Since you don't plan to admit it, go to the police station to explain it." Luo Xiu spoke.

"Father!" Luo Sheng immediately pleaded: "Please believe Junchen this time, please!"

Luo Xiu was too lazy to waste time with them. He raised his hand, motioning Uncle Yuan to let him take Yu Junchen away.

"Father!" Seeing Luo Xiu ignore him completely, Luo Sheng could only chase after the people who took Yu Junchen away to go to the police station with them.

Putting his arms around Meng Yang, Luo Xiu returned to their room to rest.

Xu Minhua was about to die of anger. She had just boasted to her friends about Yu Junchen, even said how Luo Sheng had a better vision than his father. And how his vision was definitely inherited from her. She never expected Yu Junchen to slap her in the face so fast, making her lose all of her face. The eyes of the guests made her feel utterly disrespected. Hence, she wasn't in the mood to let the banquet go on. So after asking Yuan Mo to arrange for the guests to leave, she turned back to the room with anger.

Returning to her room, Xu Minhua scolded Yu Junchen's incompetent bungler. Even if he had grown up with a small family and had seen no good things, he was already engaged to Luo Sheng. But he actually ran to stealing things. She and Luo Sheng both lost their faces, and even her plan would be disrupted. She would never let such a person marry Luo Sheng.

Her original plan was to destroy the relationship between Meng Yang and Luo Xiu. After making Luo Xiu feel Meng Yang still loved Luo Sheng, then proceeded to the next step. Although this trick was old-fashioned, she thought it would work. But now that something like this has happened, even Luo Sheng has no face for the time being to continue living in the main house, plus Luo Xiu would definitely be more alert.

Yu Junchen sat in the car shivering constantly. He knew he was likely to be discovered, but the little chance he might not be discovered made him walk into the flower room uncontrollably. His deep desire for Meng Yang's ancient books made him unable to control himself like a demon. When he was looking through Meng Yang's notes, he heard the sound of the alarm go off making him feel scared and regretful. But it was too late by then.

He was terribly scared now. Yu Junchen knew this matter would surely spread soon, and it'll become a stain on his entire life. It might even cause him to be expelled from school and not be able to take part in the competitions in the future. If this happened, it was really over in his life.

Several of Luo Xiu's nephews were originally allowed by Xu Minhua to hold banquets in the main house. They were all extremely happy about it, as they could show it off to their friends.

They found Yuan Mo to inform him how they would invite friends over today and tomorrow. Wanting Yuan Mo to prepare for it. However, Yuan Mo told them that Luo Xiu had important banquets to be held in a row, and preparations were about to be made now. Hence, no other banquet could be prepared in the Main House.

After hearing this, several people felt a little disappointed, but when they heard Luo Xiu was going to hold a banquet, they did not dare to say anything. After Xu Minhua knew, he called Yuan Mo to inquire and got the same answer. Since Luo Xiu personally ordered an important banquet to be held, she said nothing.

Celsey and his friend were on the plane in the afternoon. They slept on the plane all night and arrived early the next morning.

Lu Yunjing, Xiao Ke and Wu Feng also arrived early, waiting for Celsey and his friends with Meng Yang.

After Celsey and his friends got out of the car, Meng Yang and the others greeted them. After introducing and greeting each other, Meng Yang led them inside.

"Your house is enormous." Looking up at the magnificent building in front of him, Celsey exclaimed: "It's great to have money."

"Aren't you a rich person too?" Meng Yang smiled, "You make a lot of money every year, right?"

"I earn a lot and spend a lot of money." Celsey replied, "If I want to buy such a mountain and build such a big house, even after I don't eat or drink and don't spend a penny, it'll take years to do it."

Meng Yang took them to the place which was prepared to entertain them. There was a lot of entertainment equipment on the enormous lawn and all kinds of food on the table. Next to it was the garden and the oversized outdoor swimming pool. At the end of the garden was the indoor banquet hall. They could play outside during the day, and when the sky darkens, they could move to the banquet hall to continue playing.

Taking off his sunglasses, Celsey looked at everything in front of him before speaking, "Did you build a playground at home?"

"My husband knows I want to entertain you, but because I am pregnant, it's not convenient to go out to play, so he especially got someone to prepare these." Meng Yang answered with a smile.

"You are pregnant?" Celsey looked at Meng Yang in surprise, "So, isn't it inappropriate for us to come here now?"

"I am resting at home most of the time these days and feel bored. You guys came just at the right time. Everyone can have fun together. Even if I can only watch you play, I still feel very happy."

"Your husband specially prepared these for you?" Celsey looked at the F1 cars and small lanes, racing machines, gambling tables, various game tables, small simulation shooting venues, and the large dedicated bar. It was a complete playground for adults.

For people like them, everything here was not unusual. However, it was still difficult to see all these things together. At least they have not seen them all in one place before. They were all young people in their twenties. These were things that would make them feel interesting and playful, so it could be said that this was a place young playful people wanted to own.

"It's specially prepared for you. I can only look at it. After the baby is born, I can play with you." There was a big round table in the middle supporting a large sunshade. A fan circled the sofa and the round table. Pointing at them, Meng Yang spoke: "That is a place specially prepared for me. Let's have breakfast first, then you can play again."

Before Luo Xiu left for the company, he came over to see Meng Yang.

Walking over to Luo Xiu, Meng Yang hugged his waist. With a smile he spoke, "Thank you for preparing these. I'll watch them play well."

"It's fine as long as you feel satisfied." Holding Meng Yang's face, Luo Xiu kissed him: "If you feel tired, go back to your room to sleep and come out again. Don't force yourself, you know?"

"Got it." Meng Yang obediently agreed.

The two kissed for a while, then Luo Xiu left to set off for the company.

After Meng Yang sat down, Celsey spoke looking at him, "Your husband is so handsome. I suddenly understand why you wanted to get married at such a young age."

"For me, this is the life I wanted most, the happiest state." Meng Yang looked at him, "But for you, this is not the life you want, right?"

Celsey nodded with a cocktail in agreement.

Meng Yang asked Xiao Ke to bring all the friends of his team. Although they did not have any intersection in this life, the relationship between Meng Yang and them in the previous life was also good. Hence, Meng Yang asked them to come and join in the fun.

Although they were not very crowded, they all ate, drank and had fun talking and laughing, making it very lively.

Meng Yang leaned on the sofa with a thin blanket on his stomach and legs, watching other people happily having fun. Celsey and Lu Yunjing made company by sitting around him, talking and chatting with him. The depression in Meng Yang's heart these days disappeared a lot.

A few of Luo Xiu's nephews, who were only in their teens, all wanted to go there and play when they saw such a scene. However, the bodyguards stopped them because Luo Xiu personally ordered it. While Meng Yang was entertaining his friends, no one else could disturb them. So they could only go to Xu Minhua and complain.

After Xu Minhua came over to see, she immediately frowned unhappily and asked Uncle Yuan: "Yuan Mo, this is what you said, Luo Xiu was going to prepare an important banquet?"

"All these were prepared by the Master's orders." Uncle Yuan replied: "The Master also ordered that no one can disturb Master Meng Yang entertaining his friends, so we arranged for bodyguards to guard."

Xu Minhua's face became even more ugly. She felt Meng Yang was deliberately provoking and demonstrating against her, but she could only turn around and leave with anger.

Uncle Yuan then said to Luo Xiu's nephews: "Young masters, please go back."

Several nephews of Luo Xiu could only leave in disappointment.

At night, Meng Yang and the others moved to the banquet hall. The outside garden was brightly lit and illuminated like daytime. The lights brightened the flowers, plants and trees, making it interesting to watch.

When it was time for him to go to bed and rest, Meng Yang asked them to continue to play. It didn't matter how long they played. When they wanted to sleep, they could go back to their rooms to rest. Meng Yang left the banquet hall by himself to put the gift from Celsey in the flower room. Then just walked back to his room.

Halfway through, he could see Xu Minhua standing in front waiting for him, with a bitter face as if she wanted to inquire about his crimes.

"Are you deliberately demonstrating with me?" Xu Minhua questioned while looking at Meng Yang.

"My friend specially came to see me from abroad. So I found more friends to entertain them together. What kind of demonstration is this?" Meng Yang replied blankly, "Is mother-in-law too sensitive?"

"Make your home like a bar and game hall, is the way you entertain friends at home? Then why not just take them all to the bar and hotel to entertain?" Xu Minhua retorted angrily.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Yang tried to keep calm before answering: "The entire Longling Mountain is Luo Xiu's private property. I am the legal partner of Luo Xiu. Isn't it possible for me to entertain friends in my own home?"

"You have a legal marriage with Luo Xiu. I am Luo Xiu's biological mother. Without me, there would be no him, nor would you have the chance to stand here and talk back to me now!"

"If there was no Luo Xiu, you would not have the opportunity to stand here and teach me." Meng Yang looked at her directly showing no weakness, "With your other sons, can you live the life you are living now? Without Luo Xiu, will your other sons tolerate you spending all their money on raising your lover? The only thing you can rely on is the identity of being Luo Xiu's mother. All these years, Luo Xiu tolerated everything for the sake of you giving birth to him, and you took every inch of his tolerance. It's your good luck in life that you gave birth to Luo Xiu, but Luo Xiu who was born from you was unlucky. If there was no Luo Xiu, you would now be nothing! "

Although Xu Minhua was trembling with anger, she could not refute Meng Yang, so she could only stare at him fiercely.

Meng Yang felt thrilled when he said these words. He glanced at Xu Minhua and walked directly past her.

After he returned to the room, Meng Yang washed briefly, then sat on the bed in a daze. When he thought of the various things he and Luo Xiu had experienced in the previous life, tears flowed uncontrollably.

Seeing Luo Xiu open the door walking in, Meng Yang quickly wiped away his tears, "You are back."

However, Luo Xiu immediately noticed Meng Yang's abnormality because of the nasal voice.

Luo Xiu walked over to the bed, then sat down. Seeing Meng Yang had obviously been crying, he asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"No." Meng Yang shook his head to deny, "You go take a shower."

"My mother troubled you? Did she scold you?" Looking at Meng Yang, Luo Xiu inquired.

Meng Yang did not answer yes, nor shook his head to deny, but stayed silent.

Taking Meng Yang into his arms, Luo Xiu hugged him tightly, speaking distressingly, "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." Leaning his head on Luo Xiu's shoulder, Meng Yang spoke, "They are the ones who are at fault. I don't want you to apologise. Plus, I scolded her back."

Luo Xiu didn't want to make Meng Yang suffer any grievances. Seeing Meng Yang's tears made him more uncomfortable than piercing his heart with a knife.

He simply washed, then went to bed. Hugging Meng Yang in his arms, Luo Xiu gently stroked his back to comfort him. The two hugged tightly, both caring for the other in their hearts. They both got inner peace from each other. They were each other's only salvation.

On the second day, they played for another day. On the third morning, Meng Yang took them to Xiang Academy for a tour. Then Celsey and his friends left in the afternoon.

After sending them, Meng Yang went back to return to the main house. Luo Xiu had invited Mr Cheng's family to the main house today. He didn't want to miss the reaction of Old man Chang and Xu Minhua after they learned the truth.

When Meng Yang arrived at the main house, he saw Mr Cheng's family had not arrived yet, only Luo Xiu, Xu Minhua and Luo Xiu's younger brothers were sitting in the hall. Xu Minhua looked irritated. Seeing Meng Yang coming in, she stared at him as if wanting to eat him.

Meng Yang was already mentally prepared, ignoring Xu Minhua's gaze, walked directly to Luo Xiu's side and sat down.

Looking at Meng Yang, Xu Minhua spoke, "Luo Xiu just told me he transferred the entire Longling Mountain to your name."

"Yes, I signed it only yesterday." Putting his hand on his stomach, Meng Yang spoke with a smile: "I am pregnant with a child and need more sense of security."

"He dared to give it, you really dared to accept it?!" Xu Minhua gritted her teeth to control the anger in her heart.

"Can't I accept it?" Meng Yang looked at Luo Xiu, pretending to be puzzled.

"Of course you can. We are legal husband and wife. Mine is yours." Taking a glass of milk, Luo Xiu handed it to Meng Yang. Then looked at Xu Minhua before saying, "My personal property is my own business. Even if I give it all to him, it has nothing to do with you."

"You seem to have forgotten that you still have another son." Xu Minhua retorted while looking at Luo Xiu.

"How could I forget?" Luo Xiu looked at Xu Minhua, "I have never forgotten how I got this son for so many years."

"It's been so many years, you still hate me for letting you marry Fangfei?" Xu Minhua said with a deep breath.

"It's been so many years, you actually think I hate this thing." Luo Xiu sneered: "Think whatever you like, you just need to know that the entire Longling Mountain belongs to Meng Yang now. If you feel uncomfortable, you can leave here and take them all away as well, by the way."

"It seems that you will only bear grudges but not gratitude. I am your mother, I gave birth to you, and I raised you!"

"So you still feel that the repayment for so many years is not enough?!" Luo Xiu spoke coldly, "Do you want me to make it clear in a lump sum?! Who paid you for living a luxurious life with your lover? Who paid the money for your sons and grandchildren who live a luxurious life?! For so many years, which one of you have understood me? Who has helped me?!"

"Could it be that in your heart, blood relationship can be paid off with money?!" Xu Minhua spoke with a sad expression.

"Yuan Mo, go get a knife." Luo Xiu commanded blankly.

"Sir..." Yuan Mo was a little panicked, he didn't know what Luo Xiu was planning to do.

"Didn't you hear me?!" Luo Xiu roared: "I asked you to go bring a knife!"

Uncle Yuan could only turn around and bring a fruit knife in person.

Luo Xiu stood up. Taking the fruit knife in Uncle Yuan's hand, walked in front of Xu Minhua and slammed the knife hard on the coffee table. Looking at Xu Minhua, he spoke: "Since you feel I can't pay your kindness in nurturing with money, starting today I'll never spend another penny for you people. You can stab me now, this way I will give you back the life you gave me, I'll not repay you in any other way in the future. I've had enough from all these years, I'll never use any other means to maintain the so-called mother-child relationship with you."

Xu Minhua trembled with anger.

"Big brother, how can you use a knife in front of mom?" Luo Qi spoke, "Mom also, she did it for..."

Luo Xiu turned his head to look over, making Luo Qi immediately lose his voice. He did not dare to look at Luo Xiu's stern eyes. So he could only turn his head away to avoid Luo Xiu's sight.

"Are you trying to sever the mother-child relationship with me?" Xu Minhua looked at Luo Xiu with an ugly expression.

"Yes." Luo Xiu answered coldly while looking at her: "You are right, I want to sever the mother-child relationship with you, completely sever."

"Just for him?" Pointing at Meng Yang, Xu Minhua spoke. "Just for such a person, you are trying to be an unfilial son. Are you not afraid of thunder and lightning*?!"

[EN:*means divine retribution]

"If God has eyes, it would never be me! I've done my best to you." Taking the knife from the table, Luo Xiu handed it to her, "You only have this chance, only this opportunity, stab wherever you want, it wouldn't matter whether I am dead or alive, I'll regard this as paying you back the life you gave me. If you miss this opportunity, I will treat you as you gave up and will not give you a second chance. But I'll tell you now, even if I die, you won't get another penny from me!"

Looking at the fruit knife in front of her, Xu Minhua felt an unprecedented sense of fear in her heart. She felt Luo Xiu was not doing it just to frighten her. He was really determined to sever the relationship with her. She knew very well in her heart that, apart from Luo Xiu, her other sons were unreliable. Once Luo Xiu's support was lost, her life would plummet. But after so many years, she had become used to being so stern that she could not let out some soft words.

In such an atmosphere, Luo Xiu's three younger brothers could only minimise their own existence, because they knew, as long as they spoke, no matter what they did, it would anger Luo Xiu even more. But seeing Xu Minhua holding on and refusing to give in, they were very anxious. Luo Xiu had already shown such decisiveness. It was the most stupid behaviour to go head-to-head with him at this time. If Xu Minhua said a few soft words to ensure she would not interfere in Luo Xiu's affairs in the future, perhaps there was room for easing the situation.

"Since you didn't take this opportunity, then there won't be another chance." Luo Xiu turned around, handed the knife to Uncle Yuan, then sat down beside Meng Yang.

Leaning on him, Meng Yang held his hand, silently conveying his comfort. Although Luo Xiu would announce everything today and sever ties with his so-called family members to get rid of them completely, Meng Yang knew how Luo Xiu did not feel happy in his heart. Because the situation has developed to this point itself, it was not something that would make people feel happy. Even Meng Yang didn't feel happy about it as he was feeling more heartache for Luo Xiu.

A person like Luo Xiu would seem indifferent, but in fact, they were the most sentimental. However, once his feelings were exhausted, he would become more unfeeling than anyone else.

Looking at Luo Xiu, Xu Minhua shed tears. In her heart, she wanted to act soft because of fear, yet she couldn't say anything to be soft. She had no other reliance except for being Luo Xiu's mother. Now that Luo Xiu wanted to cut off the relationship between them, she couldn't not be afraid.

"Elder Cheng's family is here." Uncle Yuan reported to Luo Xiu.

"Let them in." Luo Xiu spoke.

Luo Xiu's younger brothers looked at each other, wondering what Elder Cheng was doing by coming at this time.

Elder Cheng and his two sons, as well as Cheng Fangfei and Luo Sheng, walked in from the outside together. As soon as they entered the hall, they felt the atmosphere was not right, but they still sat down. Luo Xiu had asked them to come, saying there was an important thing to announce about the Luo family heir.

"Mom, your complexion doesn't look good, are you okay?" Looking at Xu Minhua caringly, Cheng Fangfei asked in concern. However, her actual motive was to test the reason why the atmosphere was so bad.

"In these years, you are as close as mother and daughter." Luo Xiu looked at Xu Minhua sarcastically, "In fact, Cheng Fangfei is your own, right?"

"She is Luo Sheng's mother anyway. She gave birth to a son for you. Do you want me to treat her like an enemy for you to be satisfied?" Xu Minhua looked at Luo Xiu, "I know you hate the Cheng family and blame me for not hating the Cheng family like you, but who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you? Luo Sheng is your eldest son. You have been indifferent to him for so many years, and the Cheng family has treated him carefully. Cultivating him all this time can be regarded as repaying the Luo family."

"So I should be grateful for your good intentions, right? It's a pity, your painstaking effort is worthless!" Luo Xiu looked at Xu Minhua's ironically, then looked at Cheng Fangfei. "Are you going to say it or me? "

"Say...what?" Looking at Luo Xiu, Cheng Fangfei suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Talk about who Luo Sheng's biological father is." Luo Xiu looked directly at Cheng Fangfei.

"Luo Sheng's biological father, of course, of course, it is you. What are you talking about?" In a panic, Cheng Fangfei couldn't even speak smoothly.

The others also looked at each other, not understanding what Luo Xiu meant.

Luo Xiu raised his hand, making the assistant give two documents to his hand. He then banged them on the table: "These two things, one is the paternity test report between Luo Sheng and me, and the other is the dissolution judgement of father and son relationship between me and Luo Sheng using the paternity test. You can take a good look and enjoy it."

Luo Xiu and Meng Yang watched their faces change. They all showed unbelievably shocked expressions, especially Xu Minhua and Old Man Cheng. After listening to Luo Xiu's words, they couldn't respond. Only Cheng Fangfei's face had a clear flustered look.

After looking at Cheng Fangfei, Elder Cheng didn't even need to read the paternity test report. Just from Cheng Fangfei's guilty conscience and flustered expression, he could already see the truth, making his breathing gradually become difficult.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even if you don't want me to inherit the Luo family's property, you shouldn't insult my mother and me like this!" Shouting, Luo Sheng then rushed to open the two folders. However, after reading the words and pictures, his entire body was stiff. His brain seemed to have stopped thinking, making him completely unable to react.

Picking up the paternity test report, Luo Qi looked at it before asking, "Luo Sheng is not our eldest brother's son? Whose son is he?"

"Is what he said true?" Cheng Fangfei's eldest brother, Cheng Kang, looked at her nervously and questioned seriously: "Is he slandering you about this matter, or is it true? Why aren't you talking?!"

Cheng Fangfei could not say a word. For so many years, she had always thought she was the only one who knew the truth. She didn't expect Luo Xiu to actually know Luo Sheng was not his own son. She turned to look at Luo Xiu, wondering when he had discovered this.

"The thing about you drugging the tea I drank, I knew it from the beginning." Luo Xiu looked at her. "From our marriage to the divorce, I've never touched you. How could Luo Sheng be my son?"

Elder Cheng pressed his heart, breathing hard, his hands trembling constantly.

"Why?" Looking at Luo Xiu Cheng Fangfei questioned, "Why are you only telling this thing after so many years?"

"Think about it by yourself. I am not obligated to answer you. Haven't you concealed the truth for so many years as well?" Luo Xiu replied blankly.

"You, you..." Pointing at Cheng Fangfei, Elder Cheng scorned, "You actually concealed it even from me!"

Cheng Fangfei looked at her father. Seeing her father's anger, the panic in her heart suddenly subsided, bringing her into a very happy feeling.

Looking at Elder Cheng, Cheng Fangfei smiled. "Even if I didn't tell you, don't you know it now? When you forced me to marry Luo Xiu, didn't you know how much I hated it in my heart? I don't need to be with Zheng Liang, I don't need to be in love. But I couldn't stand how you treated me. You let me be born and raised me, but you treat me as an object, controlling and deciding my life. What's the difference between you raising me and raising an animal? You never thought about whether or not I would be happy. You just thought about the benefits my marriage could bring you. I am a person with feelings and emotions. You raising me, doesn't give you permission to decide what happens to me like you could decide for a pet. Now I can finally let you feel the hatred and pain I felt in my heart back then!"

Elder Cheng was so angry he couldn't say a word. He only felt his eyes going dark and his breathing becoming very difficult. All his years of planning and devotion, all the hard work he had put in, they were all gone now, just like water fetched with a bamboo basket. The only thing he got in exchange was resentment and revenge from his own biological daughter.

"You should listen to what she said and then keep it in your heart." Luo Xiu spoke while looking at Xu Minhua.

"Why don't you tell me earlier?" Xu Minhua asked with a pale face.

"Tell you early?" Luo Xiu sneered: "To let you know Luo Sheng was not my son early, then continue to be forced to marry by you? Marry a person you choose again? If I let you choose from your perspective again, I might marry someone even worse than Cheng Fangfei. Watching Cheng Fangfei lie to you for so many years, when you treat her like a daughter, I've been always looking forward to seeing how you will feel after this incident."

Xu Minhua held her head with aching nerves. There was nothing to say, her heart was exhausted to the extreme.

"Dad!" When Cheng Kang recovered from the shock, he turned his head to see how Elder Cheng had a heart attack. Immediately getting up, he rushed over. Then took the medicine out of his pocket to feed him.

"Go away! Go away quickly!" Cheng Sang pushed all three of Luo Xiu's younger brothers away from the sofa, then together with Cheng Kang put Elder Cheng on the sofa to lie down.

Turning his head, Luo Xiu said to Meng Yang, "You go to the room to rest first."

Elder Cheng had a heart attack and might die here. He didn't want Meng Yang to see such a scene.

Meng Yang turned his head to glance at him, nodded, then got up and went back to his room.

The bodyguard quickly took the oxygen cylinder from the car and called an ambulance.

The two brothers Cheng Kang and Cheng Sang, one helped Elder Cheng hold the oxygen cylinder, letting him take deep breaths, while the other helped unbutton his shirt, anxiously waiting for the ambulance.

When Cheng Fangfei saw Elder Cheng was so angry he had a heart attack, she was also frightened. She wanted vengeance, but she never thought of hurting her own father.

"Dad..." Cheng Fangfei walked over, wanting to help.

"Get out of here!" Standing up, Cheng Sang slapped Cheng Fangfei hard. Pointed at her, he scolded, "If something goes wrong with Dad, just wait!"

Cheng Fangfei covered her face while tears kept falling.

The three younger brothers of Luo Xiu just looked at each other, standing there not knowing how to react.

Luo Xiu stared at everything happening in front of him with a blank expression.

The bodyguard of the Cheng family rushed in: "I just received a call saying the road up to the mountain was blocked by something that was overturned, so the ambulance can not come up."

The Cheng family brothers spun their heads to look at Luo Xiu, while Cheng Kang roared at Luo Xiu: "Luo Xiu, do you know this is called murder?!"

"Murder? The car accident you guys caused was murder. What kind of murder is this? I didn't get your evidence back then. You think I'll let you catch my evidence now?" Luo Xiu spoke coldly: "Go sue me. I'll wait for your lawyer's letter."

The Cheng family brothers were so angry and wanted to beat Luo Xiu up. However, this was the main house of the Luo family, acting on Luo Xiu here was for them to find death on their own.

"Call the others to come, hurry!" Cheng Kang commanded the bodyguard: "More people the better!"

"We can't wait anymore!" Cheng Sang added, "Remove the Rising privacy partition of the car and bring it over, move quickly!"

Several bodyguards worked hard using all the tools they could find before finally dismantling the privacy partition of the car*.

[TN: Truly speaking, my friend and I were very confused translating this part. Even my native Chinese friend had no freaking idea what our author sama was saying （┬┬＿┬┬）but knowing how our author san likes to add unrealistic parts to the story, I guessed this is what they must be trying to say. If there is anyone who can understand this part better than I have translated, please let me know. "把挡板的升降部分拆了拿过来,动作要快！"/ 才将挡板的升降部分拆卸下来 ]

[EN: say, could the author mean the window thing that separates the driver and front passenger from the back seat of the car? One that a boss sitting in the back can rise when they want some privacy? And then they use it as a stretcher to move Old Cheng]

After they brought in the Privacy Partition under the command of Cheng Kang and Cheng Sang, several bodyguards carefully moved Elder Cheng on to the partition. And Elder Cheng looked a bit better, not as serious as he looked right after the attack just now.

Luo Xiu sighed disappointedly in his heart. Because a vehicle had overturned, making the goods fall down to block the road, it still made sense. But if he made his people stop the Cheng family from leaving, then they will really grasp evidence to hold of murder. And seeing how Elder Cheng looked as if it shouldn't be so bad anymore, this opportunity was mostly wasted.

After Elder Cheng was taken away, Luo Xiu spoke looking at Cheng Fangfei, "You can go, too. Take these two documents back and enjoy them. Tonight, all the news networks will disclose this matter."

Cheng Fangfei dragged Luo Sheng away, who seemed to have lost his soul, leaving only his body. When they return to Cheng Family house, it would definitely be another violent storm, but since she did this herself back then, she had to face it now. Anyway, she had hardly returned to the Cheng Family house in recent years. It was not a big deal to completely sever the relationship. At her age, there was nothing else she couldn't face.

"You also go back to clean up, I'll give you two days to move away." While looking at his younger brothers, Luo Xiu spoke.

"Brother, this has nothing to do with us!" Luo Qi spoke in panic: "We haven't had too much contact with Elder Cheng and the Cheng family, nor have we maintained Luo Sheng!"

"Yes, brother, we..."

"Have you said enough?!" Luo Xiu roared: "If I tell you to f*ck off, you f*ck off! I've raised you for so many years, is it still not enough? Do I have to raise your sons and grandchildren as well?! I will not. I don't lack the spare money to raise you, but didn't mom just say now how money won't be able to repay her nurturing grace? So I won't pay it back. Haven't you all been waiting for your mother to come back and make her take charge for you? Waiting to control me and teach me how to spend money? Now she completely controlled how I won't give you a penny. Are you still not satisfied? If you don't move out within two days, don't blame me for not giving you face, I'll directly let my people throw you all out!"

Saying that Luo Xiu got up and went back to his room.

"Mom, Eldest brother, he really intends to drive us away, what should we do?!"

"Mom, you go and beg Eldest brother, we promise we'll never say anything more about any decisions, Elder brother will make in the future."

"You have to say something, what on earth do we need to do to let Eldest brother calm down?"

Xu Minhua felt as if she didn't have any strength, only feeling dizzy. She couldn't even make a sound.

After Master Cheng was sent to the hospital, he slowly recovered. However, he still felt a faint pain in his heart. If Cheng Fangfei had told him from the beginning that Luo Sheng was not Luo Xiu's son, he would not have been hit so hard. Plus he would have been able to make more preparations and arrangements. Plus Luo Xiu had known about it from the beginning but concealed it for so long before bringing it up at the right moment, making him miss the opportunity to completely defeat the Luo family. Now he has become his biggest opponent and the idea of annexing it as theirs by waiting for Luo Sheng to inherit the Luo Group was completely shattered.

He was put into such a situation by his daughter and Luo Xiu together, the two had concealed it for many years to retaliate against him. Thinking of his so many years of planning and so many years of painstaking arrangements all going in vain under Luo Xiu's control, he was so angry that he couldn't breathe and trembled all over. Under his anger and hollowness, he almost had repeated heart attacks several times making Elder Chen stay in the hospital for a period of time before being discharged.

After Luo Sheng recovered, he was unwilling to believe he was not Luo Xiu's son. He felt this must be a scam, and there must have been some conspiracy in it. But then, Cheng Fangfei told him he was indeed not Luo Xiu's son because she had never had a relationship with Luo Xiu. When she asked him to accept this, Luo Sheng immediately broke out.

"Why are you doing this to me?!" Luo Sheng cried and yelled at Cheng Fangfei: "Why didn't you tell me at the beginning?! Why did you keep it from me for so long?! What did I do wrong? For you to treat me this way?!"

"I wanted to tell you earlier. It's just that you were too young before, and I never found a suitable opportunity, so..."

"I don't want to listen to these excuses!" Luo Sheng roared: "What do you think of me?! A tool you used to retaliate against Grandpa?! You hate Grandpa for not caring about your feelings and forcing you to get married, then what about me? Should I hate you for giving me such a birth regardless of my feelings?!"

In Cheng Fangfei's heart, the only person she felt sorry for was Luo Sheng. When she took Luo Sheng to go abroad, Luo Sheng was still very young. She wanted to wait for him to be a little older before telling the truth. But a few years later, Luo Xiu successfully turned over, and her father asked her two brothers to forcefully bring Luo Sheng to him. He also asked her to go back, saying that he would rearrange a good marriage for her when she returned to Cheng's house. However, she would rather marry a rich foreign old man immediately than returning to Cheng's home, but Luo Sheng was still taken away. Because she was reluctant to return to Cheng Family home in recent years, she had hardly gotten along with Luo Sheng and had no suitable opportunity to tell Luo Sheng the truth. When she saw that the Luo Group was getting stronger and stronger, and how Luo Sheng thought Luo Xiu was his father, she couldn't say it even more, and she didn't want to say it anymore.

Cheng Fangfei held Luo Sheng's hand and said, "Even if you are not Luo Xiu's son, it's not a big deal. You are the only son of your mother. Everything your mother has is for you, even if your mother doesn't like Junchen, but I have no objection to you two being together. From now on you..."

"What's the point of what you say now?!" Luo Sheng shook off Cheng Fangfei's hand vigorously, staring at her fiercely, "Can you compare everything with the Luo Group? Now even the Cheng family can't compare with the Luo family! I thought it would belong to me, but it has nothing to do with me! Do you know how I feel? Do you know what mood I am in? It would have been better if you never gave me such hope in the first place!"

"Luo Sheng..."

"Don't call me Luo Sheng!" Enduring the pain in his heart, Luo Sheng roared: "I don't have the surname Luo at all, I don't even know my last name! It's because of your selfishness, because of your revenge, you hurt me. It was you who prevented me from becoming Luo Xiu's son. It's you who made me unable to be named Luo!"

Turning around, Luo Sheng ran out, his heart was extremely painful and angry. He didn't want to see Cheng Fangfei who caused it all.

Cheng Fangfei slumped on the ground, covering her face and crying. At that time she was too young and didn't have the guts to completely tear faces apart with her father, but now she regretted it. If she had tried her best, she could have at least left the Cheng Family with Luo Sheng by her side.

After the news came out, it immediately aroused a lot of public opinion in the business circle. As long as people saw the news, they knew about the Luo Group, hence, almost everyone was discussing this matter. Even Luo Xiu's friends,who called him to confirm the truth of this matter, were shocked.

Meanwhile, Yu Junchen who got suspended from school was at home. His first reaction after seeing the news was that he didn't believe the matter was true. He wanted to ask Luo Sheng what was going on, but he couldn't get through Luo Sheng's phone. All his family members were also anxiously restless, urging him to go to Luo Sheng to find out what was going on.

The next day, when Meng Yang went to the academy for class, Wu Feng immediately approached him to question: "The news said Luo Sheng is not Director Luo's biological son. Is this true?"

Because of curiosity, other people also gathered around.

Meng Yang looked at Wu Feng, then at other people, nodded to confirm, "It's true, Luo Sheng is really not Uncle Luo's biological son."

"It's really true...?" In shock, Wu Feng spoke with his eyes wide open.

After obtaining Meng Yang's personal confirmation, the others also showed shocked expressions.

"The thing about Yu Junchen stealing from Luo Family house has spread. Half the students in the college are discussing this matter. Is this also true?" Wu Feng asked again.

"Although he made the alarm ring without stealing anything, he really wanted to steal something, so was sent to the police station." Meng Yang replied.

"He got a terrible reputation this time, don't know how the academy will handle this matter. I really can't figure out why he did this." Wu Feng commented.

"When a person's heart has huge demons and he cannot control those, he'll be controlled by his inner demons making him not be able to control doing some reckless things." Meng Yang said.

Wu Feng thought about it seriously. Although he felt Meng Yang's words were reasonable, he didn't know why Meng Yang said such about Yu Junchen. But he didn't go to ask further, instead, he replied, "Xu Wangya was always quite a face-saving person. Now that this time his most valued student got such a stain, his face is super dull. Don't know if he will let Yu Junchen continue to be his student."

When the class started, they did not continue the discussion.

After class, Meng Yang walked out of the college to go home under the escort of bodyguards.

Meng Yang saw Xu Wangya coming from a distance. When he approached, Meng Yang could see his obviously ugly face.

Xu Wangya paused when he saw Meng Yang, then continued to walk forward quickly. He never thought the student he valued most would actually become the student who embarrassed him the most. Now Lin Songtai's group of people were ridiculing him for how he never looked at the character when he accepted students and how the students he accepted were worse than one another. And the one he valued the most had not a bad character, but bad conduct as well.

He went to the dean's office every day for the past two days and had a long talk with the dean. Even if the dean didn't mention it straightforwardly out of his words, he also blamed his students for not paying attention to character. He also said that if Yu Junchen was not a student of a Master, the impact on the reputation of the college would not be so big, making Xu Wangya not even have a word of rebuttal.

When Meng Yang was about to reach the gate, he could see a man with a cap, sunglasses and a mask standing under a big tree outside. Although this person had himself tightly shielded, Meng Yang could still recognize him as Yu Junchen by his figure.

Those who followed Meng Yang were all professional bodyguards, and they immediately recognized the man as Yu Junchen as well. The four bodyguards who had followed him immediately shielded Meng Yang in front and back, while the assistant followed.

After seeing Meng Yang, Yu Junchen walked towards him quickly.

Several bodyguards got out of the car behind, stopping Yu Junchen from approaching.

"Meng Yang!" Immediately taking off his mask, Yu Junchen spoke loudly: "Let me pass, I have something to tell him, I promise I won't touch him! Meng Yang, I beg you, I only have a few words to say, I'll leave as soon as I finish speaking!"

After walking to the side of the car, Meng Yang stopped and turned to look at Yu Junchen. Him coming to see him like this, plus was acting too excited right now. Even if he agreed to let him over, the bodyguards would not agree.

"What do you want to say?" Looking at him, Meng Yang asked, "Do you want to ask me about Luo Sheng?"

"I... I want to beg you, please don't pursue me for sneaking into your flower room, please help me this time." Yu Junchen spoke looking at Meng Yang eagerly. Plus, the news about Luo Sheng, he simply didn't believe the news was true. He thought there must be some reason for such news. The most important thing now was to solve his own problems.

"Why do I have to help you?" Meng Yang sneered, "It's a fact you wanted to steal something, It's not like we have framed you."

"You can ask for anything, as long as I can do it, I'll definitely promise!" Yu Junchen replied.

"I have nothing to ask for." Meng Yang retorted coldly: "I just didn't close the door properly. But you really dared to go inside. Do you think I'll let you get those things so easily?"

"I didn't control myself. I was wrong. I apologize to you and promise you I'll never mess with your things in the future. If you can help me this time, I assure you, I'll absolutely tell no one about you owning those things."

Looking at Yu Junchen, Meng Yang retorted, "You make it sound as if I'm afraid of you saying it. What can you do if you say it? You actually think you have grabbed my weakness to threaten me, don't you?"

"I... never thought of threatening you." Yu Junchen quickly explained: "I just wanted to ask you to let me go this time. In order to repay you, I'll abide by my guarantees and promises, I'm not trying to threaten you."

"If you want to say it, just go ahead, I don't care." After speaking, Meng Yang got into the car.

"Meng Yang!" Seeing Meng Yang getting in the car, Yu Junchen wanted to follow but was stopped by the bodyguard who did not let him get close. He could only watch Meng Yang's car drive away.

Xu Minhua fell ill. However, in her illness, only three points were true, while seven points were just pretending. Because Luo Xiu put a knife in front of her saying he would pay her his life and then sever the relationship with her, and then she got to know Luo Sheng was not Luo Xiu's son. How Luo Sheng's birth was just an act of revenge by Cheng Fangfei. Then Luo Xiu wanted to drive her and her other sons out. This series of blows, really made her accept it. But she deliberately pretended to be too sick to get out of bed, to stop Luo Xiu from talking about severing the relationship and driving them out.

However, Luo Xiu was determined to get rid of these people so Meng Yang and their upcoming child could have an undisturbed living environment. So even if Xu Minhua was actually sick and was not pretending to be sick, Luo Xiu wouldn't let her stay in the main house to recuperate.

All three of his younger brothers, their wives and children, still holding the hope of Luo Xiu wouldn't really drive them away, stayed in the house refusing to move. But if Luo Xiu said two days, it really would be two days. If they didn't move by themselves, Luo Xiu would get someone to move them.

Watching a large group of strong men break into the house, the wives and children of Luo Xiu's younger brothers yelled out, scared.

"What are you doing?! Don't you dare touch me, I'm calling the police!"

"This is my stuff, let go! Ah!"

"This is our home, we won't go! We won't go!"

"Let me go! Did you hear me?!"

The same thing and the same shouts were happening throughout the three mansions on the mountainside.

As Xu Minhua was lying on the bed pretending to be sick, Luo Xiu had someone push her out in a wheelchair. All her belongings were packed, ready to load her with all the things in the car to send her away.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Xu Minhua was pressing on her chest because of anger and breathlessness. Glaring at Luo Xiu, she questioned: "I at least gave birth to you, are you really going to ignore the relationship between mother and child?!"

"Why didn't you think I was also your own son before you exhausted our mother-child relationship?" Luo Xiu looked at her, "Didn't you say I can't repay your nurturing grace with money? Am I not exactly doing as you wished? I hope you remember that sentence forever."

Luo Xiu's three younger brothers ran over. Although they were stopped by the bodyguards, they still excitedly shouted at Luo Xiu: "Brother, we really haven't done anything ah! We have no contact with the Cheng family and never wanted to hurt you!"

"We were all doing this for your own good. We just worried that you married such a young person on impulse and after you were desperately spending money on him, he would take most of the property away in case of divorce. We were worried you will regret it in the future. That's why we asked mum to come back to persuade you, not to interfere and meddle with your affairs!"

"So, do I have to thank you?" Luo Xiu looked at them coldly, "Then why did you all take it for granted when you were spending my money?"

"Big Brother, I promise I'll never say anything about you again in the future. After the children graduate from college, I'll take them and move out immediately. We can't just be kicked out now, brother! Please!"

"Yes, big brother, please for the sake of the children. Let us stay for the time being. If you drive us out of Longling Mountain like this, don't know what people outside say. We don't care, but how can we let our children go out to meet people? Please let us stay! We'll definitely move out after a few years!"

"Your children are your responsibility as biological parents, not mine." Luo Xiu raised his hand after he finished speaking, asking them to be dragged away.

"Mom, speak for us! Mom!"

Xu Minhua looked at Meng Yang, "You just watch him drive us away? Are you not afraid, in the future, your children will do the same to you too?!"

"You can rest assured, no matter how many children Luo Xiu and I have in the future, we'll give them the same love and favour no one. Luo Xiu and I will teach them to have independent personalities and the ability to be independent. Giving them the freedom and the right to choose, will never threaten them with the grace of giving birth to them, so they must live according to our ideas." Meng Yang answered.

Meng Yang felt, although no one could not choose their own birth, everyone should have the right to choose their own life. Parents bringing their children into this world was the parents' unilateral choice, not the children's choice. Parents had the responsibility to teach their children independent thinking and independent ability. They had the obligation to nurture and teach their children before they reach adulthood. Even if it was a life that was countless times better than ordinary people, it was still something the parents themselves were willing to give, rather than it was something the child asked them to give before or after birth. So it shouldn't be a reason for parents to control their children's freedom of marriage just because they were born to them.

Although some people lived in modern times, they still acted as spiritual ancients, trying to retain the old morals and ideas of feudal society. For example, both Elder Cheng and Xu Minhua thought, since they gave birth to and raised their child, the child had to act according to their ideas. The child must marry whoever they asked them to marry. Their children must do what they asked them to do, otherwise, it was the child not filial. If every parent thought this way, what would be the difference between living in a feudal society? The development of society and the progress of the times should not only be the improvement and pursuit of living standards and science and technology, but also ideological progress and a higher spiritual pursuit.

Carried into an RV with the wheelchair, Xu Minhua was sent away.

Hugging Meng Yang, Luo Xiu spoke, "From now on, this place will only be yours and mine home. It'll be our living place. No one else will come here to disturb us anymore."

"Did you forget?" Meng Yang put his hand on his stomach: "There's also our child."

"As you said just now, no matter how many children we have in the future, we'll teach them the ability to be independent. So when they turn 20, they can start their own independent lives. Only you and I will always be there. Together." With his forehead against Meng Yang's, Luo Xiu replied.

"Then when we have a grandson, shall we help bring it?" Meng Yang asked with a smile. Although their first child had not even been born yet, the future Meng Yang could imagine now made him feel very happy and beautiful.

"It's too early to think about this. Let's talk about it later." Hugging Meng Yang, Luo Xiu walked in: "Maybe at that time, we'll just want to enjoy the lives of two people."

Meng Yang had discussed with Luo Xiu before how they should start with some trivial things. When their children were young, they would teach them the ability to choose and bear the consequences and responsibilities of their own choices. When they grow up, let them choose whether or not to inherit the company. They will let their children choose the people with whom they want to spend their lives with. They of course would give some opinions appropriately. But in the end, they will still let their children make their own decisions and respect their wishes.

At first, Xu Minhua was pretending to be sick, but now, she was really ill with anger. His lover could only persuade her to go abroad to live for a while. So she could wait for Luo Xiu to calm down, then come back and have a peaceful talk with him.

Meanwhile, Luo Sheng drank his sorrows, wanting to get drunk and forget everything. Hoping when he woke up, he would find that all this was just a nightmare. But then he got drunk and went crazy provoking a group of gangsters. Those gangsters didn't know who he was. When they saw him deliberately making trouble, they directly beat him into the hospital. When Cheng Fangfei rushed to the hospital, Luo Sheng was still in a coma. Hence she called Yu Junchen and told him that as long as he could persuade Luo Sheng to cheer up, she would agree to their marriage as soon as possible.

Yu Junchen himself was extremely upset. Not only he couldn't concentrate on thinking about how to comfort and persuade Luo Sheng, he actually hoped someone could comfort him. After knowing that Luo Sheng was not Luo Xiu's son, it hit him no less than Luo Sheng. Luo Sheng had no affiliation with the Luo family anymore, which meant he had no chance to go to the Luo family anymore. He no longer had the chance to get those ancient books belonging to Meng Yang.

When he was in the police station, he insisted on not saying he wanted to steal the ancient books of Meng Yang. Because he felt, as long as he married Luo Sheng and lived in the main house of the Luo family, then he still had the hope of obtaining those ancient books. But now that hope was shattered, he didn't know what he should do anymore. Not getting those ancient books meant he could never be able to surpass Meng Yang.

A few months quickly passed by and Meng Yang's belly was getting rounder and rounder. But compared with the belly of a woman after pregnancy, his belly was actually not too big.

Meng Yang unbuttoned his Pyjamas, stood in front of the bathroom mirror, and looked at his stomach. He still felt a little bit magical. Life was slowly growing in his stomach.

Hugging him from behind him, Luo Xiu put his hand on his stomach and gently stroked him before asking, "It's less than a month for the due date, will you be afraid?"

"Not afraid." Meng Yang answered: "From the day I knew I had this child, I felt I was full of courage to overcome everything. I knew it would be painful, but I was not afraid at all. This kid didn't make me suffer much. He must be a particularly caring and sensible child."

Luo Xiu lowered his head and kissed Meng Yang's cheek. Although Meng Yang had always been brave, with no worry or fear, he (Lou Xiu) couldn't help feeling anxious about Meng Yang having to endure such pain. He even thought they should only have one child, but Meng Yang said he hoped they would have at least two and at most three children.

Although Luo Xiu himself had never experienced the benefits of having brothers, Meng Yang hoped their children could feel the warmth and benefits of true brotherhood.

The first child of Meng Yang and Luo Xiu was born. He was born very quickly, coming into this world without letting Meng Yang be in pain for long. Meng Yang felt his child was really caring, not letting him suffer much from the time he was pregnant until he gave birth.

"Baby." Meng Yang cautiously took the newly dressed child into his arms speaking with a smile: "It's your full moon* today, are you happy? Xiao Junye."

[TN: *It's 29/30 days after the baby's birth according to Lunar Calendar]

When their child was born, Meng Yang saw Luo Xiu's tears for the first time. He knew how Luo Xiu was distressed* and moved. As at that time, his own heart was full of sentiment.

[TN: * Baidu : *Distressed (Chinese phrase), Chinese word, pinyin is xīn téng, which means to cherish and cherish very much.]

Meng Yang couldn't for a moment look away from his child. Whenever his baby looked at him with his beautiful eyes, he really felt he was willing to let him do anything.

Walking into the room, Luo Xiu hugged Meng Yang from behind. Looking at the child he asked, "Are you ready?"

"Well, I'm ready." Meng Yang answered with a smile.

Luo Xiu gently touched his son's tender face with his fingers.

"Let's go." Luo Xiu bowed his head to kiss Meng Yang's face, then walked out with his arms around him.

Today was the full moon banquet of Luo Xiu and Meng Yang's eldest son, Luo Junye. The number of guests who came to congratulate was not fewer than the day he married Meng Yang.

Luo Xiu kept his arm around Meng Yang, who held their child. The three members of their family came to the banquet hall under the gaze of the guests accepting their blessings.

"See, that's the real small prince of the Luo Family. Before, I thought Luo Sheng would be the successor of Luo, but I didn't expect he was not Luo family's seed at all."

"No wonder Luo Xiu left Luo Sheng to the Cheng family for so many years, letting the Cheng family raise him up. It turns out Luo Sheng is not his son. Do you think this will be…?"

"As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, afraid of rope for ten years. With the lessons learned from Luo Sheng, he will naturally be more cautious to confirm the child, who has been born after so many years. Look how grand today's banquet is, then look at the smile on Luo Xiu's face. When did he ever smile like that when I saw him before? So this must be his biological son."

"The fate between people really can not be compared, even I can't help but feel some envy for this just a month old small child."

"Reincarnation* is also a technical job."

[TN:*Well if you are confused, what they are talking about is how some Asian cultures believe you will be reincarnated after you are dead. Not the fantasy type one. Like after you are dead, you don't go to heaven or hell or maybe vanish, but you get reborn as a new individual. Hope that clears up any misunderstandings.]

Because there were too many people in the hall, after seeing some friends who were close to Luo Xiu with the child, Meng Yang took the baby and sat in the small banquet hall where some of his friends were.

After Meng Yang sat down on the sofa, hugging the child, Lu Yunjing and the others immediately gathered around to see the child.

"He's so cute, did you really give birth to him? He looks like a personal baby doll." Looking at the child, Lu Yunjing commented, "I thought such small children all look alike, but how is he so good-looking?"

"Of course he was born beautiful." Meng Yang spoke with a proud smile.

"You are still so young, but already a father. I think it's amazing to think you gave birth to such a cute guy." Wu Feng exclaimed.

"After he was born, I feel this magical happiness every day." Meng Yang gently touched the child's face with his lips.

Su Di who stood behind the sofa saw the child's bright black eyes were more beautiful than black pearls. His small round face was so white and tender that he felt it could break his skin by blowing a little air on it. He couldn't help but whisper as he watched the child with a sigh: "Really so cute."

With a smile, Xiao Ke hugged him. Thanks to Meng Yang's help, Su Di was completely healed now. He was full of gratitude to Meng Yang and hoped to repay Meng Yang's kindness one day.

The child was watched by so many people, but he did not cry. He only hummed a few times when he was hungry, closing his eyes when sleepy, directly going to sleep. Such an easy-raising child was really rare, but these young people who had never raised children before thought children were so easy to raise. Seeing how cute this child was, made them also want to have a child.

As soon as Yu Junchen entered the living room of the villa, he smelled a lot of alcohol. After he saw the news, he rushed over immediately, and Luo Sheng had really started drinking again.

"Came?" Luo Sheng had just gotten up, so he was not drunk yet. He took another sip out of the wine bottle, wanting to get drunk quickly.

Yu Junchen sat down opposite Luo Sheng and looked at his haggard face. In the past few months, Luo Sheng seemed to have become a teenager. He just drank every day doing nothing. They sent him to the hospital for stomach bleeding a few times but still started drinking once again within a few days after discharge. Yu Junchen had said everything he could to persuade, but Luo Sheng's self-defeating act seemed like he didn't plan to cheer up all his life.

Throwing down the tablet computer on the coffee table, Luo Sheng spoke: "Look at today's news, the little prince of the Luo Group has a grand full moon banquet, all the political and business celebrities are there to congratulate. The child who is only one month old will have such big pomp, even the political and business celebrities would go there to congratulate him on the full moon. But who made him be the prince of the Luo Group from the moment he was born? I, this false prince, am still the laughingstock of other people talking about after dinner. It's so funny, that even I think it is ridiculous."

Facing Luo Sheng like this, Yu Junchen's heart was exhausted. After the theft incident, although he was not expelled because of his excellent performance and grades, he also struggled because of his classmates' discussions and pointers after he returned to school. But he couldn't give up. If he was also like Luo Sheng, self-abandoning himself, it would be even more difficult for him to cheer himself up.

"Luo Sheng." Yu Junchen went to sit down beside him. Holding his hand, he spoke: "Things are already like this, you should just face the reality, pick yourself up. Don't go on like this. Your mother also said she will give you two-thirds of her wealth and leave only one-third for retirement as long as you get back on your feet and live well. After you graduate successfully, she will hand over all her overseas company stores for you to manage, this is already so much more than what ordinary people have, I believe you can rely on your own ability…."

"Don't say good things for her anymore!" Luo Sheng shook off Yu Junchen's hand. Standing up suddenly he shouted: "She did this to me! Her little fortune is even far worse than the Cheng family. Let alone when compared with the Luo family. Plus, I don't want her wealth from marrying an old man! It's too dirty!"

"But the property of the Luo family has nothing to do with you anymore. Do you plan to go on like this for the rest of your life?" Yu Junchen spoke with tears: "If you really intend to be so decadent, I can only break up with you now."

"You want to leave me too?" Luo Sheng looked at Yu Junchen with gloomy eyes, "Even you look down on me and don't want to see me again?"

"It's not that I look down on you, but you look down on yourself!" Looking at him Yu Junchen yelled, "Looking at you so self-deprecating every day, I really can't hold on! If I don't leave you now, I'll soon collapse, do you know?!"

"Then you go away too!" Luo Sheng let out an angry, painful roar: "Just leave me alone, roll!"

Yu Junchen stood up, looked at him before once again speaking: "Let's break up, I hope you can cheer up soon. If one day..."

"If you want to get out of here, get out of here! Cut the crap!" Luo Sheng roared and took another big sip of wine.

Luo Sheng thought they were just quarrelling, breaking up was just angry words between the two of them. And Yu Junchen would certainly return to his side. What he did not know was how Yu Junchen was really already going to give up on him, to find another way out.

Yu Junchen walked on the road, crying all the way. He really loved Luo Sheng, but he still had goals he had not accomplished and hasn't got the life he had wanted. He could not be dragged to death by Luo Sheng, so he could only cruelly let go of his hand. He knew whether Luo Sheng could regain his strength or not, they can not go back to the past. Even if they did not break up now, they would break up later. It's just he couldn't cheer Luo Sheng up before breaking up with him, which made him feel a little guilty.

In the evening, Meng Yang and Luo Xiu were bathing the baby in the bathroom. Luo Xiu had already taken a bath. He was standing on the edge of the special children's bathtub in his underwear, holding the child in his hands, letting Meng Yang gently rub and wash the child.

Meng Yang controlled the strength of his hands while cleaning the child's body, neck, armpits, and knees as if he were massaging. The child's skin was soft and tender. He felt he might break his skin if he put a little bit of force. So Meng Yang was very careful not only to help the child clean up but not to hurt him.

The child kicked his legs from time to time, seemingly very comfortable in the water.

"Is it comfortable? Young master." Gently rubbing the baby's small belly, Meng Yang asked.

Meng Yang especially enjoyed such times. Raising the child with Luo Xiu, this process would be a permanent memory in the future. When they are old, they could remember the present, and they would definitely feel special happiness and beauty.

After washing the child, Meng Yang wiped him dry with a towel, then lightly tapped the child's red mouth with his finger. As he had sweated a bit, he also wanted to take a good bath before sleep. Hence he asked Luo Xiu to leave the bathroom with the child first.

Done with his bath, Meng Yang walked to the bedroom and stared at the scene on the bed. Luo Xiu was lying in bed wearing only underwear, with his head and neck resting on the large pillow, while their child had half fallen asleep on his chest. The picture looked very warm and moving.

Luo Xiu's chest was strong and broad, full of the feeling of strength, while their child looked like a little ball with his tilted buttocks, it was extremely cute. Such a picture of father and son, Meng Yang couldn't help showing a touched smile.

Taking the camera out of the drawer, Meng Yang took a picture of the scene, then put the camera on the bedside table, going to bed laying down beside Luo Xiu. Putting his head on Luo Xiu's shoulders, he looked at the child who was about to fall asleep.

Nowadays Meng Yang had felt distressed when he thought about the hardships their child might face when growing up. Although he hopes for their child to always live under the protection of him and Luo Xiu, not facing any difficulties, this way of love was too selfish. And selfish love could only satisfy himself, but would then hurt the child for a lifetime. So he must endure his heartache and let Luo Xiu teach their children the ability to face everything independently.

Luo Xiu sat up, preparing to put the child on the small crib next to them, but Meng Yang grabbed him, "Let him sleep here."

"Are you sure?" Looking at him, Luo Xiu asked, "What if you wake him up later?"

Meng Yang sat up, whispering after putting his arms around Luo Xiu's neck: "Just be lighter, so we won't wake him up."

"We haven't done it for a few months, are you sure you want me to be lighter?" Luo Xiu asked, looking at him.

Meng Yang seriously thought about it. Luo Xiu, this beast was locked up for a few months only occasionally could taste something sweet. This release will be a fierce battle that neither of them can control, so he let go of Luo Xiu, letting him go to put the child on the cot.

Getting out of the bed, Luo Xiu went to the cot to put the child down. After covering the small belly band of the baby with a small quilt, he then put down the gauze curtain on the cot to cover it. Done re-adjusting the indoor temperature, he then turned to the bed, pressing Meng Yang down.

…

…

The next day, Meng Yang's waist was so sore, he slept until almost noon before getting out of bed. He wanted to hug the child but could not use the strength, so he could only rely on sitting on the sofa, letting the nanny put the child into his arms. In a few days, he would go back to school to learn, so he must cherish these days when he could always stay around his child.

He agreed with Luo Xiu on how they would take their child with them when they both had to work or study. When Meng Yang would go to school, Luo Xiu would take the children to the company. After class, he would go to the executive room of Luo's office to accompany the child while studying.

Meng Yang sat in the car looking at his son lying in the cradle. He was reluctant to get out of the car to leave.

"Hurry, close your eyes and go to sleep. How can I be willing to go if you look at me like this?" Touching his son's small face with his fingers, Meng Yan spoke, "Are you looking at me like this because you don't want to let me go? You are usually asleep at this time."

Luo Xiu had long expected how it would be such a reluctant scene, so he brought Meng Yang to the school in advance.

"I'm leaving." Looking at Luo Xiu, Meng Yang spoke, "There are only two classes today. I'll come to your office after class."

"Nn." Luo Xiu nodded with a smile. This was the fifth time Meng Yang had said the same line.

"Why are you smiling?" Meng Yang reached out to pinch his waist disgruntled.

"I'm smiling because you might end up saying this until the end of your two classes today." Raising his hand, Luo Xiu stroked Meng Yang's hair before speaking, "If you can't bear it, then just come to the company with me."

"It's only two classes. He'll sleep it off. I can do it." Meng Yang seemed to have made a lot of determination. After kissing his son's forehead, he opened the car door, then looked at Luo Xiu to say: "I'm leaving, remember to hug him if he wakes up."

"Got it. You only kiss him, aren't you going to kiss me before leaving?" Taking Meng Yang into his arms, Luo Xiu kissed him deeply for a while before letting him go.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Yang pushed the door open and got out of the car. He walked forward quickly as he knew that if he went slower, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from turning and rushing back into the car.

Only after watching Meng Yang's back disappear did Luo Xiu instructed the driver to drive.

"Meng Yang." Seeing Meng Yang walk in, Wu Feng spoke with a smile: "You look very different from before."

After sitting down, Meng Yang questioned with a smile, "What's the difference?"

"It feels like the whole person is radiating some kind of light." Looking at him, Wu Feng asked: "You came back to the college to study now, were you willing to leave the child?"

"When I study, the nanny will take good care of him. Plus Uncle Luo will also be with him." Meng Yang answered: "Uncle Luo didn't want me to give up what I wanted to do because I had a baby. I also don't think I should give up my studies because of it. But I'll try to minimize the time spent studying and busy time to accompany and take care of him. Uncle Luo also said he would help me share the burden. Although it would be tiring to take care of both sides, I think everything is worth it."

Wu Feng nodded in agreement: "Nowadays many children are taken care of by their nannies. When I was young, my parents were too busy to sleep. A nanny and tutor brought both me and my brother up. My parents could only watch us through surveillance video. Although they also wanted to accompany us more, they couldn't stop being busy in order to create a better living environment and to let us receive a better education. Because money doesn't directly fall from the sky into my home. When I grew up, I realized how difficult it was for them. In life, you can't get everything you want and make every aspect satisfactory. Mutual understanding between parents and children is very important."

"It's definitely difficult to be responsible parents with responsibilities." Meng Yang commented.

"But Director Luo is really a good man ah. He's really willing to consider from your perspective. He doesn't expect you to give up learning and your career so that you can accompany the child at home, however temporary that would be, and instead, despite being as busy as he is, decides to share the responsibility of taking care of the child with you." Wu Feng exclaimed.

Meng Yang smiled at Wu Feng's words. In his heart, he very much agreed to them.

When the class started, Meng Yang couldn't help but always wonder, thinking whether the child was asleep or awake now, whether he had drunk milk or cried. Although he tried very hard to concentrate, he still felt a little bit unable to find his state. However, including the winter vacation, he had not concentrated on studying hard for over two months, hence, it would take a little time for him to get back to his previous state.

At the end of the class, Meng Yang immediately packed up his things, after saying bye to Wu Feng, he walked out quickly.

When Meng Yang was about to get in the car, Yu Junchen was also about to get in a black car. Both looked at each other for a moment, then got in their respective cars without delay. While Meng Yang wanted to see his child quickly and didn't want to delay for a minute, Yu Junchen felt embarrassed in his heart after suddenly seeing Meng Yang making him immediately get in the car.

Yu Junchen didn't expect Meng Yang to return to school so soon. During the period of Meng Yang's absence, he became the number one in the grade again, yet this did not change his situation in the school. He still got criticized while receiving strange eyes. Fortunately, Xu Wangya did not give up on him and was still willing to continue training him. However, in his heart, Yu Junchen knew, if there were students with higher talents than him, Xu Wangya would definitely give up on him without hesitation.

He also told Xu Wangya about Meng Yang's possession of those ancient books. Unfortunately for him, Xu Wangya told him how not only did he not hold Meng Yang's handle, in case he announced about this matter, it would not have any effect on Meng Yang. Because all those aromatherapy parlours which had been open for many years only persisted due to their own ancestral formulas. If he announced how Meng Yang's ancestral formula was very powerful, it was tantamount to helping Meng Yang propagate. This would only make others have more confidence in Meng Yang, and more people would find him for aromatherapy.

Yu Junchen clenched his fists tightly vowing he would get everything he wanted no matter what.

As soon as Meng Yang entered Luo Xiu's office, he hurriedly asked, "Where is my son?"

Although Luo Xiu was on a call, he put his phone down to answer, "Asleep in the room."

Meng Yang immediately ran to the door of the lounge. After slowly opening the door of the room, he lightly walked in. Seeing him come in, the two nannies guarding the bed stood up immediately.

"Baby." Standing on the edge of the crib, Meng Yang looked at the child's sleeping face. Only now did he finally feel a sense of peace of mind.

The babysitter brought mouthwash and warm water. Meng Yang gargled and used a hand sanitiser to clean his hands before holding the baby's small fist, kissing the child's face.

These nannies who took care of his child were all professionally trained while they had years of work experience. Luo Xiu made all nannies wear masks plus do a physical examination at the hospital every three days while they took care of their child.

Walking in, Luo Xiu signalled the nannies to go to the waiting room outside. After walking behind Meng Yang, he spoke after hugging him, "Every time you came before, you always kissed me first. Now you look for the child without even looking at me. Have I fallen out of favour?"

Meng Yang turned his head to kiss Luo Xiu's face, then continued to look at the child's sleeping face, as if he couldn't see enough.

"I really fell out of favour." Putting his forehead on Meng Yang's shoulder, Luo Xiu spoke in a helpless tone.

"Why compete with your son?" Lifting his hand, Meng Yang stroked Luo Xiu's face before saying, "Don't worry, I still love you the most..."

Holding Meng Yang in his arms, Luo Xiu turned him to face himself. Then looking at him seriously, he questioned, "Really love me the most?"

"Of course I love you the most." Meng Yang hugged his waist in return. While looking at him he continued, "I'm only like this because our child is too young."

"I don't believe it, you have to prove it to me." Luo Xiu spoke.

"How do you want me to prove it?" Meng Yang asked.

After thinking about it seriously, Luo Xiu answered, "You must kiss me before you kiss him. Treat me better than him."

"Good*." Meng Yang agreed.

[TN:* so, I left this as good instead of okay, because, 好 (Hǎo) generally means - it is good. I felt leaving it as 'good' would make it more understanding than just saying okay here]

"No matter how much you love him, you must love me more and show it."

"Good" Meng Yang agreed again. This was the first time he saw Luo Xiu's childish side. Although he felt a little funny in his heart, he couldn't help but agree to all his requirements.

"Then show it to me now." Looking at Meng Yang, Luo Xiu spoke.

After thinking for a while, Meng Yang pushed Luo Xiu onto the big bed next to him, then kissed him while straddling him.

…

…

Before Meng Yang could put his pants on, the child woke up and began to cry. After he hurried over and picked up the child, he put him on the big bed to change into clean diapers. Luo Xiu only put on his underwear before going to make milk for the child.

Leaning on the bed, Meng Yang hugged the baby while coaxing him. Handing him the milk bottle, Luo Xiu also laid down beside Meng Yang, holding him and their baby in his arms.

After the intense passionate scene just a while ago, they were now a warm family of three. Meng Yang leaned on the arms of Luo Xiu, holding the child in one hand, the milk bottle in the other hand. He then raised his head to kiss Luo Xiu before kissing the forehead of their child.

That afternoon, Luo Xiu continued to work, while Meng Yang played with the child holding him. When he couldn't help but wanted to kiss the child, he would walk outside with the baby to kiss Luo Xiu first, then kiss the child.

When the child fell asleep again, Meng Yang put him in the crib, then wasted no time and started studying. The child now slept for about 18 hours a day. Meng Yang could take advantage of this time. So now he wanted to practice switching between the two states at any time. He wanted to comfortably coax the child when he wanted to play, while when it was time to study, concentrate and study hard rather than doing this and thinking about that. If he tried to do both at once, both the results would not be good.

After having dinner in Luo Xiu's office, the two continued to work and study until they went home together in the evening.

When it was time to sleep, Meng Yang carried the child into his carefully arranged nursery and gently patted the child to sleep.

Meng Yang and Luo Xiu decided to let the baby sleep in the nursery after the full moon. The four nannies would take turns to take care of him at night. After Luo Xiu's intensive mental work during the day, he must have enough sleep and rest time at night, otherwise, his headache would recur. Meng Yang concentrated on studying and taking care of his child during the day, so he also must have a good rest at night, or else, he could not sustain it.

Walking into the nursery, Luo Xiu held Meng Yang in his arms then looked at the child, "Is he asleep?"

"Almost." Meng Yang whispered.

When the child was completely asleep, Meng Yang put him in the cot, looked up and kissed Luo Xiu, then leaned over to kiss the child's white and tender face. However, he kept standing on the side of the cot reluctant to leave. Seeing this, Luo Xiu felt Meng Yang looked as if he was going to stand here all night, and directly carried him back to the room.

Lying down on the bed, Meng Yang still looked sideways at the flat-screen computer on the bedside table. The screen of the computer had the live monitoring of the nursery.

Luo Xiu laid behind Meng Yang holding him, watching the screen together. Both of them were new fathers, after having children, the inner feeling was really very different: happiness, satisfaction, sense of responsibility. Although they both had a more mature state now, they were also more childish.

Raising his hand to touch Luo Xiu's face, Meng Yang gradually fell asleep with a happy and content smile at the corner of his mouth. Marry and have children with Luo Xiu, raise children together, at the same time, not give up their own ambitions. This was the life he dreamed of in his previous life.

The next day, life still went on. Meng Yang and Luo Xiu both were working hard to complete their goals and plans. For example, Meng Yang wanted to complete his study goals, while Luo Xiu wanted to completely destroy the Cheng family. They were all in progress.
