7. 61 to 70

When their child reached two full moons Luo Xiu, who was busy with his work, especially made time to take Meng Yang and the child back to his hometown to worship the ancestors. He wanted to let his father know how his true eldest grandson had been born. There was another reason for this visit, which was to enter their child's name on the Luo family tree while crossing Luo Sheng's name out of it.

Luo Xiu had returned to his hometown to worship ancestors once three years ago. His uncles and cousins, as well as his three younger brothers, however, all went back to their hometowns to worship their ancestors every year, so they could show off their financial resources.

Before going to the ancestral home with Meng Yang and their child, Luo Xiu told the assistant to inform the guards of the Luo family's ancestral home so they could prepare and arrange the child's double full moon and ancestor worship.

Sitting in the car, Luo Xiu told Meng Yang some things about the Luo family.

"My father is the second son, he had an older brother above him. I heard my uncle was very similar to my grandfather. He was talented and smart. My grandfather had cultivated him carefully with great expectations. Unfortunately, not long after my cousin was born, my uncle died of cancer. Losing his eldest son he had high hopes for, the loss devastated Grandfather making him fall ill. Later, he barely survived a few years trying to retrain my father. But in contrast to my uncle, my father seemed a lot dull. But among the remaining sons of my grandfather, my father was still somewhat capable, so after when grandfather went, my father took over the Luo family's property."

"If uncle was still alive, the Luo family's company wouldn't have faced the situation of being trampled on by the Cheng family. And you wouldn't have to struggle so hard." Meng Yang felt sorry in his heart.

"Long ago, I occasionally visited some of my grandfather's old friends. They also said I was similar to my grandfather. If I was born a dozen years earlier and been groomed by my grandfather himself, I would have definitely achieved greater results."

"If you had been born over ten years earlier, you would be more than fifty now. If so, wouldn't our love change from one between an uncle and a nephew into a grandfather and grandson?" Meng Yang teased with a smile.

Hearing this, Luo Xiu couldn't help but smile, before replying: "My parents met while they were studying. The two people fell in love and married. Because she had some education, my mother thought she was better than most men in the world. In fact, she's only a little clever with no great wisdom, but she likes to call the shots in everything. Other than her good-looking face, her temperament and personality are extremely poor. Only my father could stand her because he really loved her. The only reason the Luo family's property was able to sustain for so many years in the hands of the two of them was thanks to the wealth of the family."

"I've met my mother's lover several times. Thought it would be nice to have someone to accompany her for the rest of her life. I don't lack money anyway, so it's enough for her to enjoy it. But the older she gets, the stronger she tries to control me. If she only wants to pinch* me, the only thing I could do is to break the relationship between mother and child."

[TN: *Make things harder for him.]

Leaning against Luo Xiu's arms, Meng Yang held him, silently trying to comfort him. Mutual harm between parents and children was the most painful and hurtful. From the moment a child decided to retaliate against their parents, he had actually set up a double-edged sword. Hurting the other side on the one hand while hurting himself on the other. He knew this deeply.

When Luo Xiu's uncles, cousins and younger brothers learned Luo Xiu was going back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, they immediately returned to the ancestral house three or four days in advance to help Luo Xiu make preparations. Hearing Luo Xiu's car entered the town, they sent people to the entrance of the Luo family mansion to greet them, attracting many residents of the town who came to watch the liveliness.

Meng Yang looked out of the car window. There was running water under the ancient stone bridge. Occasionally, one or two boats could be seen on the water. There were willows hanging low on the broad green stone pavement. On both sides were rows of ancient houses, Meng Yang had an illusion of entering an ink painting, where time seemed to have stopped, everything was ancient and elegant.

As the car stopped outside the Luo family mansion, everyone in the same generation of Luo Xiu and younger generations came out to greet them. There were also many town residents who had come to watch. Although they were blocked by helpers, they all stepped on their feet and stretched their heads, wanting to take a look at the legendary Luo Family Patriarch and Patriarch's wife.

Getting out from the car behind, the bodyguards guarded the car of Luo Xiu and Meng Yang before opening the door.

The child was sleeping soundly in the cradle. Because the temperature outside was still very low, Meng Yang wrapped the baby with an extra thick quilt.

Luo Xiu got out of the car first, after pulling down the cradle cover, Meng Yang then handed it to Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu took the cradle out of the car and handed it to the nanny, then reached out to help Meng Yang get out of the car.

Luo Hong, Luo Xiu's cousin, stepped forward to speak to Luo Xiu as a representative: "How was the journey?"

"Fortunately, all the way unimpeded." Luo Xiu answered lightly, then turned to help Meng Yang organize his scarf and windbreaker jacket.

"The preparations and arrangements for the child's double full moon and ancestor worship are all ready. Do you want to have a meal first? Or see if the arrangements are all right and if there's anything to be done." Luo Hong asked.

"Are you hungry?" Looking at Meng Yang, Luo Xiu questioned.

"Not very hungry." Meng Yang shook his head.

"Sit down for a while, then look around." Luo Xiu spoke while taking Meng Yang's hand and walking in slowly.

Meng Yang looked up at the large plaque above. The words Luo fu* were written on it. The open wooden door looked heavy and magnificent.

[TN: *household]

Looking at these courtyard houses as he walked, Meng Yang thought about how this place was the real Luo family's ancestral home. The Luo family's financial strength back then could also be seen in this large and deep courtyard.

Luo Xiu's uncles, and cousins were already waiting in the main hall.

After entering the main hall, there was a large carved sofa, with a low table in the middle. Luo Xiu took the main seat while Meng Yang sat down beside him. As Luo Xiu's father inherited this house from his grandfather, then Luo Xiu inherited it from his father. Hence, he was the owner and the head of the house, his several uncles could only sit below.

A well-dressed middle-aged woman walked in with a smile. Behind her were a few helpers holding trays. Instructing the helpers to put the tea in the tray on the low table, she smiled at Meng Yang before saying: "This is a local speciality. I'm not sure if you would like it or not, but it got a refreshing taste."

"Thank you." Meng Yang Thanked her with a smile. Because he didn't know what to call this woman, he turned to look at Luo Xiu.

"This is Aunt Huang." Luo Xiu introduced.

"Aunt Huang." Meng Yang called. On the way, Luo Xiu narrated how aunt Huang was the one who took care of him when he was young.

"Oh, good." Aunt Huang responded with a smile then walked out of the hall with the helpers.

Several of Luo Xiu's uncles and his cousins were talking about some scenes*, which also had the meaning of complaining and flattering. While listening to them, Meng Yang sipped on the tea. Not only the light sweetness was not tiresome, but it was also in line with his light taste.

[TN: *According to Baidu what the author meant by this - The scenes are very polite, it is the feeling of acting every time. There are many things about how to speak tactfully but not directly, but the most important thing is personal social etiquette]

Luo Xiu relied on the real estate business to turn himself around, then slowly expanded the industry into various fields. The original Luo family industry was now inferior to many of his branches. However, the people sitting in the lobby all relied on the original company to live. Seeing Luo Xiu faintly had the means to give up Luo family's original company, these people were so anxious to a point they couldn't sleep well.

When the marriage of Luo Xiu and Meng Yang was first announced, several of Luo Xiu's relatives and uncles also questioned Luo Xiu's marriage as elders, deeming he should not marry someone like Meng Yang. But Luo Xiu, who was a person so filial before, when his mother wanted to continue to pinch him with the grace of childbirth, she ended up being swept out of the house. They dare not put the elder's spectrum with Luo Xiu, as they all depended on Luo Xiu to live now. There was no capital to show off.

Luo Xiu's several younger brothers spoke little, mainly because they didn't dare to speak. They all wanted to ask Luo Xiu, but they could only ask in private, otherwise, they would anger Luo Xiu. Although they were not completely without a source of livelihood, the gap in life and psychology will definitely affect them. In the past, other people would give them some face because of Luo Xiu. But now that everyone knew they were swept out by Luo Xiu, no one gave them face again.

Sometimes, Meng Yang even felt this was actually another way of revenge from Luo Xiu, especially for his three younger brothers. His method was, when they wanted him to give them such luxurious life, as he knew if he didn't give it to them, they would say he had no conscience, he gave them the life they wanted. But after they got used to living in luxury by doing nothing, he suddenly cut off most of their sources of livelihood. Let them feel the drop, if they could not survive and adapt to such a drop, certainly something would go wrong. However, Luo Xiu had given them many chances in the past, if they had taken advantage of the time when he was willing to support them to seize those opportunities rather than just thinking of getting a free ride, they would not have had to face such a big drop.

Luo Xiu watched as Meng Yang ate some snacks and drank hot tea. After sitting for a while, he asked Meng Yang while looking at him, "Shall I show you around? Or do you want to go back to the room to rest?"

"I want to look around." Meng Yang answered.

Nodding in agreement Luo Xiu then got up and led Meng Yang out.

It's hard for the elders to follow, but Luo Xiu's cousins and younger brothers followed them all the way.

Painting at those courtyards Luo Xiu spoke about what he had done as a child to Meng Yang

In fact, since Luo Xiu's grandfather was there, he only came back to live occasionally. Most of the rest of the time, he lived in the city. When the Luo family's company was facing a crisis, Luo Xiu's uncles asked him to sell the ancestral home, as they felt it could not stand for long. They felt if the company fell, the Luo family would be completely destroyed. However, Luo Xiu felt the ancestors of the Luo family were all here. If even the ancestral house was sold, that meant the ancestors were not even needed. So he insisted on not selling it. It now appears his decision was right. The price he could have sold it back then differed greatly from what he could now, plus if he had sold it, he wouldn't be able to buy it back even if he wanted to.

After the baby woke up, the nanny fed him milk and brought him to Meng Yang. Meng Yang held him for a while, then Luo Xiu took over.

The entire house had been taken care of frequently. Although traces of age could be seen, the interior was clean and spotless. The mountains, rocks, flowers and plants in the yard were also very poetic and tranquil, making people feel peaceful.

Plucking a small flower and a leaf from a branch, Meng Yang shook it in front of the child's eyes while speaking, "Baby, look, this is a flower, this is a leaf."

Although he knew the child could not understand, Meng Yang still spoke vigorously. Holding the child in his arms, Luo Xiu looked at Meng Yang with a smile.

When Luo Xiu's cousin looked at Luo Xiu's appearance, he felt even more regretful. He felt he shouldn't have joined Luo Xiu's three brothers in an attempt to manage Luo Xiu's marriage.

He was the eldest grandson of the Lu family and he should have inherited the Luo family's property. But when his father passed away, he was still too young. However, thinking back on the crisis the Luo family faced back then, he knew he was not as strong as Luo Xiu to be able to withstand it. Plus Luo Xiu let him be the president of the Luo family's original company, which was considered being the best benevolence.

As the president of the company, he was most aware that Luo Xiu's treatment of the Luo family's original company was not as before. Competitive big business was tough to do, plus Luo Xiu had enough reasons to abandon the original Luo family company as he owned many other more profitable companies.

After dinner, Luo Xiu went to talk to the men of the Luo family about ancestor worship while Meng Yang took the baby to Luo Xiu's courtyard to rest.

As soon as Meng Yang put the child to sleep, the maid came in to inform him how Luo Xiu's three younger brother's wives had come to talk to him, asking him if they could see him.

Meng Yang directly declined: "Just say I've fallen asleep, ask them to go back."

Even without seeing them, Meng Yang could guess what they were trying to say. Nothing more than words to gain pity and sympathy. Because he also had a child now, they would definitely say it was all for the sake of their children. It was easy to change from frugality to luxury but difficult to change from luxury to frugality. Even if they could already live a life much better than ordinary people, it was too difficult for them to change their previous living habits, definitely bringing out some contradictions. What's more, Luo Xiu really wanted to give up the original company of the Luo Family. They couldn't imagine what their living standards would become by then, making them terrified.

Putting the child in the innermost part of the enormous bed, Meng Yang slept in the middle waiting for Luo Xiu.

After returning to the room, Luo Xiu had a wash, then went to bed. Hugging Meng Yang, he started kissing him.

The two kissed for a while, then Meng Yang pushed Luo Xiu's face away before saying, "Don't do it tonight. This is the Luo family's ancestral home."

"What about it being the ancestral house?" Luo Xiu asked doubtfully.

"We came back to worship our ancestors. In case the ancestors really came back, it would be bad if they heard us." As a reborn person, Meng Yang was somewhat superstitious.

Luo Xiu couldn't help but smile: "I don't think the ancestors of the Luo family will have such a vulgar taste of listening in the corner. Not listening to things they shouldn't listen to, they must understand, so you can rest assured."

"It's not good if we wake the child up," Looking back at the sleeping baby, Meng Yang continued.

"We'll be quieter, so we won't wake him up." saying that Luo Xiu pressed on Meng Yang's body.

Putting his hands on his shoulders, Meng Yang asked, "You really want to do it?"

"Because this is the ancestral house, we will have our bridal chamber* tonight." Luo Xiu whispered in his ear.

[TN:* wedding night]

Meng Yang couldn't help blushing. He no longer refused Luo Xiu.

Before dawn the next day, the servants and maids of the Luo Family Mansion became busy as they all began to prepare for the function.

Luo Xiu got up early as well. He was going to open the door, set up the incense table, put incense, then welcome the ancestors.

About an hour after Luo Xiu left, Meng Yang got up to wash. After washing and changing his clothes, the nanny came in to inform him Luo Xiu's cousins and sister-in-laws had come to bring him breakfast.

In the past, there was indeed the etiquette of giving food to the sister-in-law on festivals or other important days, but that was an old custom of the past. From them doing it now was purely to please Meng Yang.

Since they had come to give him breakfast early in the morning, if Meng Yang refused, it would appear as if he was too unkind. So he went out to meet them.

"Good morning everyone, thank you for thinking about me, have you eaten?" Meng Yang spoke with a smile, then walked over to the main seat and sat down.

The women looked at each other but didn't say whether or not they had eaten. They just smiled and started opening the food boxes they had brought. After taking out the contents, they placed them on the big round table in the middle.

"This is goat milk cake. It doesn't have any fishy smell. It is sweet but not greasy. It melts in the mouth. Perfect for breakfast."

"This is wild vegetable shrimp dumpling, the soup in it is very fresh, it's better to eat it while it's hot."

"This is a wide noodle for fish soup. It's made of wild eel bones, small carp and pig bones. It is rich and delicious, and it tastes very delicious."

"This is fresh pork wonton..."

"This is bird's nest porridge..."

"This is the crab bun..."

Meng Yang watched them introduce more than a dozen dishes, although the portions were not too much, each dish had colour and flavour. Meng Yang felt funny in his heart. After he entered this mansion, he felt as if he had come back to an ancient world. Now when they were acting like this, it gave him the feeling of actually living in ancient times. He knew they were trying to please him, however; he was a man. It made him very uncomfortable seeing these women who were a dozen years older than him wanting to serve him breakfast.

When Meng Yang was about to let them go back for breakfast. However, before he could say anything, the maid came in to inform Aunt Huang had come to bring him breakfast.

"Let her come in." Meng Yang permitted.

Aunt Huang came in with the helpers. Seeing Luo Xiu's sisters-in-laws, she was stunned for a moment, then spoke with a smile: "The ladies have arrived early, even earlier than me."

Aunt Huang walked towards Meng Yang. With a smile, she once again spoke: "Master specifically explained before coming how Master Meng Yang liked light food so we can't put extra seasonings, can't be greasy, can't be too salty, while it also can't be too sweet. It must be easy to digest and taste good."

Meng Yang smiled, thinking he was not as picky as he was described. As long as it was cooked, he would eat everything. It's just... it's better not to put too much oil and seasoning, not too salty or too sweet, and it better be digestible food, that's it...

"Young Master, taste this bowl of dragon beard noodles." Taking out a medium-sized round bowl from the food box held by the maid, Aunt Huang placed it on the table next to Meng Yang.

Looking into the round bowl, Meng Yang could see it had two-thirds of the soup and one-third of the noodles. The noodles looked silky neat as if they were combed with a comb, with only a little oil floating in the soup. There were some chopped green onions on top of it. As Meng Yang's nose was sensitive, just by smelling the scent, he knew it must be delicious.

Meng Yang drank two mouthfuls of soup with a spoon and another mouthful of noodles with chopsticks. He nodded while praising, "This soup is really good. It's better than all the noodle soups I've had before. The noodles are also delicious."

"In order to make this bowl of noodles, the kitchen began to prepare yesterday afternoon." Aunt Huang responded with a smile: "As long as the young master likes to eat it, it is worth it. When you tell the master, ask him to give them a few more red packets, they will be very happy."

This bowl of noodles really suited Meng Yang's taste. He was about to continue eating, however, when he turned his head, he saw the ladies were still looking at him. It was really hard for him to eat his breakfast with peace of mind when they looked at him like this. Making him afraid of having indigestion.

Aunt Huang also turned her head to look over, then spoke with a smile, "Have the ladies eaten? If not, you also should seize the time to eat breakfast. All the relatives have arrived already. So you will be busy today, if not now, you will not have time for breakfast? Let Young Master Meng Yang also have his breakfast."

Before they even had a chance to say what they had wanted to say, they were invited out by Aunt Huang.

Glancing at the breakfasts on the round table in the middle, Meng Yang thought it would be a pity not to eat them, so he asked his assistant and the nanny to share them.

Meng Yang could finally enjoy his breakfast. After finishing a bowl of noodles and soup, he rested for a while, then got up to see if the child was awake.

After he was done feeding the child milk after waking him up, the maid came to inform Meng Yang it was time to go.

Meng Yang put on the little furry white earmuffs on the child, then walked out holding him. There would be many guests coming today, all of them were relatives and friends of the Luo family. Because they had already hosted a full moon banquet for their child before, Luo Xiu and Meng Yang didn't want to do the second moon in a big way. Originally, they only planned to do it simply, then open the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and go back the next day. But the uncles and cousins of Luo Xiu knew how much Luo Xiu valued Meng Yang and his child. In order to please them, they made the occasion huge and invited all his relatives and friends to take part in the child's double full moon and ancestral worship.

With the child in his hands, Meng Yang walked outside the gate then stood beside Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu took the child into his arms before speaking, "Let's go."

Meng Yang and the others stood on the top of the steps, while many town residents stood below them. Standing apart as much as possible.

Thousands of red envelopes were put in a dozen bamboo baskets. When Luo Xiu indicated to begin the ceremony, the classical band began to play music, while the helpers threw red envelopes out. The scene suddenly became more festive and lively. There were also a lot of gifts tied with a red cloth as well, so after the red envelopes were done being distributed, everyone could also receive a gift before going back.

After standing for a while, Luo Xiu turned and walked in with Meng Yang while holding the child. Other uncles, brothers and relatives also followed them.

Everyone was waiting outside the gate of the ancestral hall. When the auspicious time came, the gate of the ancestral hall was opened, and everyone lined up to walk inside. The distant relatives just stood in the courtyard, while the others followed Luo Xiu and Meng Yang into the ancestral hall.

Luo Xiu knelt down with the child in his arms, Meng Yang knelt beside him, and the others knelt down one after another behind them. After the master of ceremonies sang the libretto, everyone began to bow down.

When the main ceremony was done, Luo Xiu got up and handed the child to Meng Yang to hold. The genealogy and family tree have been spread out on the altar table. Luo Sheng's name was written by Luo Xiu's father. Picking up a brush, Luo Xiu personally crossed out Luo Sheng's name, then wrote Meng Yang's name on it, then added their child's name Luo Junye.

Then served rice, tea, wine, meat, and all kinds of offerings. Afterwards, he kneeled down and burned incense paper. Everything must be done in an orderly manner and shouldn't be messy.

After placing the tribute inside and outside the ancestral hall, he formally bowed down to the ancestors.

When the ancestor worship ceremony was done, Luo Xiu asked Meng Yang to take the child back to rest first, before coming out when the feast began.

While Meng Yang walked out with the child in his arms, the relatives of the Luo family gathered around to see the child, boasting and looking at the child.

"This child was born so beautiful, at first sight, you can see how full the blessing from the Heaven is."

"Isn't it? The look in his eyes really has an aura, he must become very smart when he grows up."

"Although the child hasn't grown up yet, his facial features are already vaguely looking like his father."

"It's really rare to see such a beautiful child, even more beautiful than those in the advertisement, especially the eyes, they are really beautiful."

Meng Yang just listened with a smile. Although they tried their best to be very sincere, Meng Yang still felt they were deliberately pleasing him with other purposes.

The intentions of these women to please and fraternize were obvious. Although they felt Luo Xiu forgot his mother after having a wife, and he spoiled his male wife so much that not even his mother could stay. If this happened in the past, they would be spurned by thousands of people. However, now it's not their turn to say anything. After all, they and their men still wanted to continue to feed on Luo Xiu. So they felt in order to live a good life, even if they had to pull their faces down and please Meng Yang, they were willing.

It was almost noon when the table was opened for lunch. Leaving the child in the yard for the nanny to look after, Meng Yang then went to sit with Luo Xiu.

The dishes at the banquet consisted of food with big fish, meat and heavy oil. Because of the large gathering, many dishes were prepared. This made Meng Yang's sensitive nose uncomfortable, making him have no appetite. As Meng Yang definitely couldn't eat the heavy dishes served on the table, the kitchen specially prepared some light dishes for him.

Putting a little rice into a small bowl, Luo Xiu scooped a few spoonfuls of boiled cabbage soup and added some yellow cabbage hearts in the bowl before placing them in front of Meng Yang for him to eat.

Meng Yang would take small bites to eat with his spoon, while Luo Xiu would pick vegetables for him from time to time. Until Meng Yang shook his head saying he had eaten enough, Luo Xiu continued to pick vegetables for him.

The relatives of the Luo family saw this. Just from these small details, it was already clear what Meng Yang's position was in the Luo family now.

Many relatives had come today. Since Meng Yang already rested after the sacrifice to the ancestors, he naturally couldn't go back to his courtyard to hide immediately after eating. It was inevitable for him to have to talk to those relatives or listen to what they wanted to say. Since this was Luo Family's Ancestral House, Meng Yang did the courtesy and politeness he should have, then let them say what they wanted to.

In the afternoon, they distributed the tributes to everyone. While the tributes inside the ancestral hall were distributed among the relatives of the Luo family, they distributed the tributes in the yard to the people in the town. At this time, Meng Yang found an excuse to go back to the yard to rest.

Luo Xiu returned to the courtyard after a while, then sat down beside Meng Yang. Looking at him, he asked, "Are you tired?"

"A little bit." Meng Yang answered while patting the child gently.

Kissing Meng Yang's forehead, Luo Xiu spoke, "Go to bed early tonight, I'll take you out tomorrow."

"Really?" Meng Yang looked at him, "Aren't we going back tomorrow?"

"We'll leave tomorrow at noon. So we can go out in the morning. The breeze in the morning is good. We'll take the child out for a walk to let him see things he has never seen before." Luo Xiu replied.

"Good." Meng Yang commented with a smile.

Because he took a nap at noon, then went to bed early that day, Meng Yang woke up early the next day. After getting ready, he walked around the town with Luo Xiu and their child.

Taking Meng Yang's hand, Luo Xiu walked forward. The babysitter followed behind with a stroller, while many bodyguards followed beside them.

Morning in the small town was quiet and beautiful. Walking on the stone road, looking at the old houses on both sides, they couldn't help but relax. This was a good place to enjoy a slow peaceful life. Because it's the off-season for tourism, there were few tourists in the town, mainly the residents living in the town remaining.

Stopping in front of a small shop, Meng Yang took a rattle, then squatted down in front of the stroller to tease the child.

"Baby, look at this, do you like it?" Shaking the rattle, Meng Yang questioned.

Luo Junye, who was over two months old, didn't seem to be interested in the rattle in Meng Yang's hand. His eyes were fixed at the colourful windmill pinwheels that were turning.

Turning his head to glance, Meng Yang then asked Luo Xiu to bring over a windmill.

After Meng Yang took the windmill, he looked at the baby while asking, "Do you like this? The windmill is for you, the rattle is for me, we'll let your dad buy it for us, okay?"

Inserting the windmill in the stroller, Meng Yang played with the rattle by himself while walking down the lane with Luo Xiu sightseeing.

There was a small stall selling breakfast on the side of the road. Feeling the boiled bone soup on the stall smelled good, Meng Yang took Luo Xiu to sit down and ordered a bowl of wonton.

When the wontons were served, Meng Yang and Luo Xiu shared them. Meng only drank the soup, while Lo Xiu had all the wontons.

Seeing he liked the soup, Luo Xiu asked, "Want to have another bowl of soup?"

Meng Yang shook his head to refuse, "It's only delicious if you eat it like this. Drinking just the soup won't taste so good."

What Meng Yang actually enjoyed was the happiness of sitting on the side of the road with Luo Xiu, eating the same bowl of wonton. Not the bowl of wonton nor the soup itself.

After they were done eating the wonton, the two of them continued walking holding hands. On the way when he saw small snacks or gadgets, Meng Yang would ask Luo Xiu to buy them for him. It wasn't that he ate everything that was bought for him. He only enjoyed the process and let the assistant take snacks.

The corners of Meng Yang's mouth were always smiling. While Luo Xiu felt happy as long as he saw Meng Yang happy.

"In the future, can we do this often? Wander around in such a beautiful town, find a place where no one knows us, with just the two of us?" Meng Yang asked.

Luo Xiu responded, "As long as you want, you don't have to wait for the future, we can do it now."

"It's better to wait for our child to be older. When both of us are not so busy." Meng Yang turned to look at him, "The Cheng family's affairs haven't been resolved yet, plus, I haven't graduated. When there are no more worries about the future, we'll be able to enjoy this slow life with peace of mind."

Looking at him, Luo Xiu nodded.

The number of people around them gradually increased as many residents in the small towns specially came to see them. As Meng Yang didn't want to be watched, he went back with Luo Xiu. After lunch, the two took their child back to the city.

As there would be a batch of newly arrived spices in the aromatherapy branch, Meng Yang and the others had to go to the spice warehouse to classify all the spices according to their quality. For them, this was both learning and work.

Meng Yang once again took part in the classification of rare and precious spices. His method of classification was to only pick up the spices to see then smell them. Other masters needed to cut some of the raw materials to burn them, observe the smoke and smell the smell of burning before they could determine the quality of the spices. Because the smell of the raw materials itself differed greatly from the smell after burning. But since these were rare and precious spices, even if it was only a little bit, it was still very precious. When each of them could only be confirmed after burning them, when accumulated, it was very wasteful.

After making a record on the label paper, Meng Yang then pasted it on the wooden box. The staff then brought it to the Masters, where they would cut some of them, burned them to see if the quality judged by Meng Yang was correct. If the quality Meng Yang judged was correct for each of the spices, then after this quarter, all precious spices would be directly classified by Meng.

Although this was not a big right in the Aromatherapy Branch, it was still a very important job. Usually, these Masters would compete to do it. Furthermore, the more precious spices he was exposed to, the more experience Meng Yang accumulated, which was of significant benefit to him.

"Cut less, that's too much."

"Enough, that's enough, there's only such a small piece originally, we won't have much left if you cut it more."

Every time the director of the spice warehouse and the director of the financial department watched the Masters cut these rare spices, they felt as uncomfortable as if they were cutting meat from their hearts. Not only was cutting just a little bit worth a lot of money, but these rare spices were also difficult to buy even with a lot of money.

These Masters naturally didn't want to cut too much, but if the amount of spice was too little, they could not determine the quality.

After the quality of all the rare spices were confirmed, the quality judged by Meng Yang was completely on point with no errors at all.

The director of management conversed with the director of the finance department: "It's too wasteful to do this every time. After letting Meng Yang confirm it, let's choose a few samples for random inspection. We don't need to burn all of them to make the determinations."

The director of the finance department nodded in agreement, "I'll go talk to the Chairman about this matter."

Thinking about the spices that were wasted before, by burning them in vain, they both felt very distressed. Now that they had someone like Meng Yang, who had such an acute sense of smell, they could save a lot of rare spices in the future.

Even the masters who didn't like Meng Yang, seeing Meng Yang get the right to classify rare spices again, had nothing to say. Even they couldn't help but start to admire how Meng Yang could have such a keen sense of smell with such a high olfactory quotient.

Seeing Meng Yang's side was done, Lin Songtai asked Meng Yang to watch over Wu Feng and the others so they would not make a mistake. Then sat down by himself and started sipping his tea.

Wu Feng complained to Meng Yang: "The colour is easy to recognize, but the description of smell in the book is so abstract it's hard to feel."

"Because smell is an abstract existence, it's already very difficult to describe it." With a smile, Meng Yang continued: "Every object has its own unique smell, and these smells represent the experience of an object. For example, for these plants, how long have they been exposed to sunlight, how much water they have absorbed, in what kind of soil and environment they have grown, and how many natural nutrients have they obtained, after they have grown, what has someone done to them, it's all reflected in the smell and cannot be faked."

"When it comes to counterfeiting," Wu Feng stated: "Isn't it often discovered how some people make fake precious spices to cheat people? There are also fake expensive perfumes and stuff. There's also cheap perfumes formulated with chemical liquids, obviously with added bad things for health, but some people think it smells good and cheap, so they still use it."

"That's the difference between knowing and not knowing." Meng Yang continued: "Just like we classify these spices by quality here, after learning and practising, some people will understand how to distinguish quality from the smell. Without learning and practising, or even understanding, they naturally wouldn't know how to. Whether it's a true or a false spice or perfume, people who understand can distinguish, while the people who do not understand can not distinguish. No matter how similar the smell is, there are differences. Because the smell itself is not deceptive, it just depends on whether or not you have the ability to distinguish it."

Wu Feng nodded, thinking Meng Yang's words made sense.

Taking the dry sticks Wu Feng put in the basket out, Meng Yang put it in another basket after a little smell, then taught Wu Feng some tips for distinguishing the smell.

Wu Feng listened carefully, feeling the methods Meng Yang was teaching him was much easier to understand than what was written in the book or what the teachers had taught. The people next to him also listened carefully. Gradually even the people on Yu Junchen's side slowed down their hands and also started listening to him secretly. When the Masters found out, they said nothing, because everything Meng Yang said was very good.

"Masters, good news!" Walking in quickly from the outside, Vice President Sun spoke with a little excitement: "The president has just received news from the general meeting. They have already decided about the academic exchange meeting with foreign psychotherapy teams at the general meeting. They are letting our branch take charge of it."

"Really? Didn't they say the Beiyun branch was more promising?" a Master questioned.

"Of course it is true. It's already been confirmed. The president has already started to make arrangements. So the Masters should also make preparations. A meeting will be held in an hour." Vice President Sun answered.

This academic exchange meeting was very important. Their branch and other branches were all working hard and were actively fighting for it. Now that it was determined they have won the opportunity for their branch, not only the Masters were thrilled, even the students and other members were also very happy. Because of this start, there would be more benefits in the future.

"Meng Yang." Vice President Sun walked towards Meng Yang.

Turning his head to look over, Meng Yang patted the residue on his hand before asking, "Vice President Sun, what's the matter?"

"You don't have anything else to do next week, do you?" Vice President Sun questioned.

The reason for Vice President Sun to ask this was because Meng Yang took a lot of leave from pregnancy to the birth of his child.

"Next week?" Meng Yang thought for a while, "Apart from studying in class, and going home to take care of the child, there should be nothing else."

"Next week, when the foreign psychotherapy team comes to our branch for academic exchanges, President wants you to take part in it as Master Lin's assistant to help him take the minutes of the meeting." Vice President Sun informed.

"Working as a meeting minute record assistant?" Meng Yang froze for a moment, "Isn't this usually done by senior members?"

"There's no clear stipulation that it must be done by a senior member. You are good enough to do this job. So there's definitely no problem. Plus, you won't be the only junior member to participate. By that time, President will arrange for some other outstanding members to attend as well. "

"Okay, I'll prepare well." Meng Yang nodded.

Vice President Sun was about to turn around and leave, but he turned back again, then hesitated and said: "One more thing, there's a psychiatrist expert named Korch. He will be the captain of their team. He seems to know you."

After freezing for a moment, Meng Yang replied: "I only met him a few times, so I'm not very familiar with him. A friend of a friend of mine has a serious psychological problem because of a car accident. My friend, through some relationships, spent a lot of money to invite Korch for his friend. Because I was also helping my friend's friend to perform aromatherapy, I met him a few times."

"It turned out to be like this." Vice President Sun nodded, then turned around to face the Masters. "Masters, we will hold a meeting in an hour. Please come and participate on time. I'll go prepare first."

After speaking, Vice President Sun left quickly.

"Meng Yang, you are so amazing! You can take part in such an important exchange meeting already!" Wu Feng exclaimed with excitement.

"Yes, Meng Yang, you'll definitely learn a lot from it. Such an opportunity is really rare."

"It's a pity we are not even full members still, otherwise we might have had the opportunity to attend."

"Meng Yang, you must seize this opportunity and learn more."

"Exactly." Wu Feng added: "Since all the people coming here are very good psychologists, you must learn something from them."

Meng Yang nodded with a smile, thinking this indeed was a rare opportunity.

Raising his head, Wen Yuan glanced toward Meng Yang. Throwing the spices into the bamboo basket vigorously, he then turned to look at Yu Junchen. However, he could not see any emotions on Yu Junchen's face. Nowadays, Yu Junchen was like a completely different person. He was taciturn and solitary, not saying a word with anyone, including him. This situation made him feel very worried.

When the Masters left for the meeting, Meng Yang and the others finished their work for today, then prepared to go home. On the way out, Wu Feng told Meng Yang about Yu Junchen.

"I think Yu Junchen is acting weird nowadays." Wu Feng related to Meng Yang quietly: "When I was at school, sometimes I ran into him by chance, then saw him standing alone in a daze. He laughed and cried for a while. Sometimes looking very sad and painful, but sometimes his eyes were very scary. I heard he broke up with Luo Sheng. Could it be that it was too much of a blow, or a psychological problem caused by that stimulation?"

Meng Yang thought for a while before answering: "Who cares. Doesn't matter what he does, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Plus, not that he can do much now."

"That being said, be careful to sail the boat for thousand years*. In case he is really mentally disordered and still hates you in his heart, it won't be good if he does something to hurt you. You should better be prepared." Wu Feng spoke.

[TN: Baidu: *The paraphrase "cautious can catch thousands of cicadas, and be careful to sail the boat for thousands of years" means that a cautious person can catch thousands of difficult to catch cicadas, and a careful person can drive a boat for thousands of years without sinking. Metaphorically, it means if someone is cautious enough and doesn't easily make mistakes, they can develop steadily for a long time.]

"Don't worry, as long as I go out, there are people who follow me all the time. Since I won't do anything to him, he should be thankful. But if he dares to make any moves on me, then he is going to die. Uncle Luo can crush him in the palm of his hand." Meng Yang replied.

Because in his present life, he was in a completely different situation than he was in his previous life, Meng Yang didn't put Yu Junchen in his eyes. Now he had more advantages than Yu Junchen, hence, there was no need to worry about it. And as for Luo Sheng, he will let him go if he keeps up being drunk dreaming of his death. However, if he gets sober all of a sudden, then he would become more guarded in case he plans something.

As soon as he entered Luo Xiu's office, Meng Yang could see Luo Xiu walking back and forth holding the child. With a smile, he walked towards them.

"It seems you got a bit late to come back today." Looking at Meng Yang, Luo Xiu commented.

"Well, there were too many new spices. So it took a while." After explaining, Meng Yang took the mouthwash and warm water to rinse his mouth from the helper. He washed his hands again and wiped them clean before walking to them. When he got to Luo Xiu's side, Meng Yang kissed him, then touched the child's face gently.

"I need to go out for a while. There's a social gathering in the evening to attend. So you and the child should go back first." Luo Xiu spoke.

"Okay." Taking the child over, Meng Yang inquired, "Is it for the Cheng family's business? That Old man Cheng is really tough. He had heart attacks several times but still survived every time. Even with all that, he can still manage the Cheng Family's Company."

"He is just consuming his life at an accelerated rate. When he runs out of oil and the lamp dies, he won't be able to hold on anymore." Putting on his outer clothes, Luo Xiu spoke.

"But how do I feel he's quite full of oil?" Curling his lips, Meng Yang commented.

Luo Xiu couldn't help smiling. Walking to Meng Yang's side, he kissed him after hugging him. Then added, "Don't worry, when he was so much stronger than me back then, I could still survive. Now I am stronger than him, while he is old and weak. So definitely, he won't last long."

"We still have to do something to stimulate him. It was a pity last time." When Meng Yang thought about it, he felt it was Xu Minhua's fault, preventing Luo Xiu from making better use of the last opportunity. Old man Cheng and his two sons were so dirty. To deal with dirty people, they also must use unclean methods rather than treating them humanly. Only then they would feel how others felt about their doings.

Hugging Meng Yang downstairs, Luo Xiu brought Meng Yang and their child to the car.

"Goodbye, dad." Meng Yang raised his son's little hand and shook it to say bye.

With a smile, Luo Xiu touched Meng Yang's face, then touched the child's face before closing the car door, then turned to the car next to it.

In the evening, Meng Yang carried the baby into the bathroom, stripped the child off, tied a small swimming ring around his neck, then put him into the small bathtub beside the big bathtub. Both bathtubs were relatively deep so Meng Yang himself stripped naked and went into the big bathtub. Folding his arms on the edge of the bathtub, he watched his child swim with his two little legs.

Looking at his baby who looked like a chubby fish, flicking his two chubby legs back and forth, Meng Yang couldn't help but laugh. When the child saw him laughing, he also opened his mouth and laughed, making Meng Yang laugh even happier.

When Luo Xiu pushed the door in, he saw Meng Yang smiling while watching their child swim. He couldn't help but smile as well.

"Look, your father's back." Meng Yang turned the child around.

Taking off his clothes, Luo Xiu went into the shower. After a brief rinse, he walked out into the big bathtub, hugged Meng Yang from behind, then watched their child swim with him.

Luo Xiu kept holding Meng Yang's waist with his arms and lifted him up slightly.

Biting his lip, Meng Yang clenched the edge of the bathtub with his hands.

…

…

After putting the child on the cot in the baby room, Luo Xiu and Meng Yang were also ready to go to bed.

Meng Yang laid down in Luo Xiu's arms before asking, "Under your siege, the Cheng family definitely will try to find a way to save themselves right? Have they done anything recently?"

"Old man Cheng is finally understanding the feeling of losing his way. For so many years, others knew what kind of person he was. Even his old friends are actually guarded against him, worrying he would bite them if they are not guarded enough. So right now, not many people are really willing to help them under the problems and conditions their family is facing now." Luo Xiu said, "I guess they will soon go abroad to find a way out."

"Is it so easy to find a way out abroad?" Meng Yang knew that Luo Xiu's development abroad had taken years of hard work to gain a firm foothold, plus now it's not like it used to be in the past. Can Old Man Cheng last for twenty or thirty years?

"Not necessarily, it depends on how they find it and how they plan to operate." Luo Xiu answered.

Meng Yang placed his face on Luo Xiu's chest. Without getting rid of the Cheng family completely, he could not feel completely at ease. However, he believed Luo Xiu would crush the Cheng family eventually.

A week later, the foreign delegation arrived.

The academic exchange meeting began in the large conference room of the branch. They would broadcast the entire process of the exchange meeting live so the other branches could also watch and learn. Therefore, Wu Feng and others were also watching the live broadcast in the small conference room.

As Meng Yang attended as Lin Songtai's assistant, he sat behind Lin Songtai to enter the minutes of the meeting.

The translators on the conference table had all been turned on, furthermore, they had turned the live broadcaster on. After confirming that everything was alright, the exchange meeting officially began.

The two sides would ask and answer each other's questions, discussing and exchanging opinions on people's psychological problems, such as bipolar disorder, anger, depression, psychological trauma, mental problems caused by physical problems, and physical problems caused by mental problems.

Although Meng Yang did not sit at the conference table, Korch asked him a few questions as well. And Meng Yang's answers made him very satisfied.

The probability of Westerners seeing a psychiatrist was more often than Easterners. As Easterners would generally go see a doctor to take medicines most often because of common colds, Westerners would go see a doctor to take medicines most often because of their psychological problems. As long as they were emotionally unstable, they would go see a psychologist. Even if they didn't have time to see the psychologist, they would immediately call the psychologist. If their problems were a little more serious, they would start taking medicine. Seeing a psychologist was also covered by their medical insurance. As the saying goes, where there was a need, there would be development, so there were many powerful psychiatrists in western countries.

After the meeting, the President specially arranged a banquet to invite them to dinner.

When Meng Yang was about to leave with Wu Feng and the others, the President's assistant came to him saying Korch invited him to come over for a chat as he had something to ask from him.

Telling Wu Feng and the others to leave first without waiting for him, Meng Yang went with the assistant to the courtyard where the President entertained Korch and the others.

After Meng Yang sat down, Korch couldn't wait to ask: "The medicines you gave Su Di the last time, are there any left? I have a patient with a situation similar to Su Di, who is also a victim of a car accident. He got psychological shadows from the trauma, so he always has nightmares making him not able to sleep. He feels scared whenever he sees a car. I tried the medicine you made on him and the effect is not bad. I've used up all of it, but the treatment needs to continue. I want to ask if I could buy some again."

Those aromatherapy medicines Meng Yang gave to Su Di the last time, Xiao Ke paid and bought all of them. However, after seeing the effects of these aromatherapy medicines and their amazing effects, Korch wanted to buy the leftovers that were not used up from Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke initially didn't want to sell it; but considering the fact that if he refused, it would be difficult for him to ask Korch afterwards, he sold them to him.

Korch took these medicines back and gave them to another patient who also had nightmares after a car accident. After learning the method to use it from Meng Yang, he then combined it with his psychotherapy. Although the effect was very good, he still needed to continue treatment. This was why he wanted to buy more medicinal aromatherapy from Meng Yang.

After thinking for a while, Meng Yang replied, "I am afraid that the same aromatherapy medicine cannot be made in such a short time. After all, the spices I used for it are hard to get."

Korch immediately gave an alternative: "Maybe I can help find the spices you need, money is not a problem."

"Come, come, come*, the food is ready, eat first, then you can talk about other things in detail when you are full." President winked at Lin Songtai as he greeted Korch.

[TN: * so 来来来 - if you use just one 来 means come. So it can be translated in many ways in English when 来来来 together such as come on, come here. But I thought this was is better so left it like this]

"Meng Yang, you still have classes in the afternoon. Let's go back to school first." Lin Songtai said to Meng Yang.

Meng Yang froze for a moment before replying: "Okay."

Seeing Meng Yang getting up and leaving, Korch was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why Meng Yang left suddenly before he finished his words. The President continued to greet him to eat, saying they could talk in detail after eating.

Although seeing a psychiatrist in Eastern countries is not as common as in Western countries, gradually people started to pay attention to it. They all felt making aromatherapy the principal method of psychotherapy in Eastern countries would be more conducive to the development of aromatherapy. However, for psychology, they still had a lot to learn. Since Korch wanted to seek Meng Yang, then this was an excellent opportunity to take advantage of.

So one month later, Meng Yang went abroad to study as a representative of the branch.

In the room of Luo Xiu's private jet, Meng Yang laid sideways on the big bed, looking at his son, who now was over a hundred days old, like a chubby little worm, lying on the bed on his stomach wanting to look up. After getting tired, he rolled over, turned his head to look at Meng Yang with his big watery eyes.

Meng Yang couldn't resist the look in his eyes the most. Moving to hold him in his arms, he gently stroked his back before saying, "Happy now? Who was crying so sadly just now?"

Two hours ago, after the plane took off, the child cried loudly as he was very uncomfortable because of the air pressure. Since he was born, he hadn't cried so loudly for so long. Because of this, Meng Yang felt distressed, so he kept holding him and coaxing him.

Sitting up with the baby in his arms, Meng Yang leaned against the small round window. Pointing outside, he spoke, "Look, baby, there are so many marshmallows outside. We are swimming in marshmallows. Look, are they pretty?"

Luo Xiu pushed the door and walked in. After closing the door, he took off his shoes going straight to bed. Sitting behind Meng Yang, Luo Xiu hugged him, then kissed the child's chubby face.

Neither of them spoke. Turning his body around, he raised his head to kiss Luo Xiu. Only after a while did the two separate. Afterwards, Meng Yang found the child had looked up at them with his big round eyes, making him feel a little embarrassed in his heart.

"What are you looking at me for?" With a blush, Meng Yang looked at the child, "Do you want me to kiss you too?"

Pouting, Meng Yang kissed the child's tender red lips, then spoke with a triumphant smile: "Your first kiss is now gone, haha, let's see how you'll explain to the person you like in the future."

Luo Xiu looked at Meng Yang's childish happy appearance and felt extremely stable and happy in his heart.

Since their child was still a small meat dumpling, he could do all kinds of intimate behaviours to him, like kissing his little face, taking a bath with him, rubbing his body and doing exercises, and sleeping with him in his arms. As when he grows up a little bit, he won't be able to do this after a few years of age, so Meng Yang cherished this short time very much.

When it was time to take a nap, the three of them only wore underwear. Meng Yang had his back to Luo Xiu while being held in his arms. The two of them covered themselves with a thin quilt, while their child slept in front of Meng Yang inside a small blanket.

…

…

After the family of three arrived, they rested for a day in the villa in the city. Then they started their own busy lives, just as they were still in their home country, whoever found it more convenient took their child with them to look after him.

The Aromatherapy Branch and Korch had reached an agreement about Meng Yang studying with him. And Korch will also arrange for some students of his to study aromatherapy at the Aromatherapy Branch. They tentatively set the time at one month, and later on, they would negotiate the number of students for the next study.

The aromatherapy medicine Meng Yang prepared for Su Di would be mass-produced after adjusting the formula. As for the need of going to the Food and Drug Administration for filing, finding an agent to produce the medicine in a pharmaceutical factory, Meng Yang didn't have to worry about these troublesome and trivial things, since Luo Xiu would naturally have his people do it. Meng Yang directly gave the formula to Luo Xiu, and all the various contracts were signed by Luo Xiu on his behalf. One of Luo Xiu's best friends was an owner of a pharmaceutical factory that has been operating for many years, so it was natural to be assured of cooperation. Speaking of the pharmaceutical factories, Meng Yang remembered how the main business of the Cheng family now was pharmaceutical factories.

There were various psychological and mental problems, while the causes also varied. Nowadays, there were so many patients, whose mentality had collapsed by scaring themselves after getting to know they had some kind of disease that was difficult to cure. Even if there was still hope they could cure it, as many people feared their own death, their condition got worse. This was why many people consulted psychiatrists because of illnesses.

When Meng Yang followed Korch to the hospital, he met Xu Minhua unexpectedly. Xu Minhua was also surprised to see Meng Yang. Meng Yang was planning to leave directly, but Xu Minhua stopped him saying she wanted to have a chat with him. After some consideration, Meng Yang agreed, since he also had something to say to Xu Minhua. However since there was no time today, the two agreed to meet the next day.

Standing outside the ward, Meng Yang looked inside through the small glass window on the door. Inside was a high-level single ward decorated like a bedroom. Although the person sitting on the bed looked haggard, he still looked gentle and elegant. Xu Minhua sat on the side of the bed talking to him. As far as Meng Yang knew, this man was a university professor, with great understanding. Not only did Xu Minhua have a hot temper, but also had a strong desire to control. In the past few years, because of his persuasion, the tension between Luo Xiu and Xu Minhua had eased a lot. It's just that a person's true nature was hard to change, so Xu Minhua finally made Luo Xiu completely chilled, making him sever his relationship with her.

The next day, Meng Yang and Xu Minhua met in a coffee shop.

Drinking a sip of coffee, Xu Minhua asked, "How is the child?"

"Pretty good, he eats, sleeps, very sturdy*." Meng Yang looked at Xu Minhua, "I heard you don't seem to be living very well lately. Your lover is seriously ill again. So you have started selling your house."

[TN:*What MY is trying to say is that the child is healthy]

Treatment costs of Xu Minhua's lover were very high. Since Luo Xiu said he would not give her a penny, he did just as he said.

"It's not bad, but it's really not as good as before." Xu Minhua answered.

"Do you regret it? But regretting is useless. Luo Xiu will not reconcile with you." Meng Yang stated, "If you could have cared about and understood Luo Xiu at least a little bit, it wouldn't have come to become the result you have now."

"Do you think I don't care about Luo Xiu?" Xu Minhua looked at Meng Yang: "I am his mother. How would I not care about him?"

"I'm not talking about Xihan and Nuan* concern, nor the concern about wanting to know how much money he made and where he spent it." Looking at her, Meng Yang continued, "I'm talking about truly understanding and respecting him. Did you know he has a recurring headache? He almost drove down the mountain because of a headache, did you know?"

[TN:* Baidu: Hush cold asks warmth, a Chinese idiom, pinyin xū hán wèn nuǎn, hush cold: let out heat to warm people who are caught in the cold. It means to inquire about other people's life diligently and show concern for other people's lives. It comes from Bing Xin's "About Women, I Most Respect and Consider them]

Xu Minhua's hand trembled slightly. Folding her arms, she spoke, "From the time I forced him to marry Cheng Fangfei, he's been very indifferent to me and won't take the initiative to tell me anything about him."

Meng Yang sneered with anger then looked at Xu Minhua before speaking: "Luo Xiu has always tried his best to understand and respect you. After his father passed away, you got yourself a lover. Even then, he thought it would be nice for you to have someone to accompany you through the rest of your life. He respected and understood your choice, spent money to support you and your lover. The only reason you think he is indifferent to you is because you never really tried to understand him. All you ever wanted from him was to just be the obedient son you can control."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Minhua turned to look at the street outside.

"How many people in this world can have a life like you?" Meng Yang continued, "When you were a child, you had parents who doted on you. When you were young, your husband pampered you, on top of that, there was no mother-in-law, and your father-in-law died early. After getting older, there was another capable son who was filial to you. For most of your life, it was all smooth sailing for you. You haven't ever had to feel any bitterness of life, never had to consider problems from the perspective of others. I know you must have had the idea of doing things for the sake of Luo Xiu, but what you thought was good for him was something from your own point of view, rather than his."

Xu Minhua had never been taught such a lesson in such a way before. Yet, she remained silent, as she did not come to quarrel with Meng Yang today. Plus, she indeed had nothing to refute about his words, anyway.

"As the first group of women in the new era, they educated you in new thoughts and morals. You enjoy the freedom of love and marriage, but demand your son to follow feudal morals. Such double standards, is it because of your inner selfishness? Or is it because of your self-righteousness and arbitrariness?"

Closing her eyes, Xu Minhua did not answer Meng Yang's words. Instead, she took out a wooden box from her bag and pushed it in front of Meng Yang before saying, "This is a gift for the child. Luo Xiu's father gave it to me. For me, this was the most precious and meaningful gift I got. You can keep it for the child for the time being."

Meng Yang glanced at the wooden box with a long lock on it, key hanging on the edge of the lock.

Standing up, Xu Minhua looked at Meng Yang once again, "It's for the child, not for you. Don't throw it away. When the kid grows up, let him decide if he doesn't want it."

Xu Minhua put on her sunglasses, then rushed out of the cafe.

Putting his hand on the box, Meng Yang thought of opening it to take a look. Then again, he decided not to. Since it was for the child, he should let him open it himself when he grew up. Since Xu Minhua herself said to let the child decide, it seemed she finally at least understood that much. In Meng Yang's perspective, that was considered an improvement.

In such a short time, it was absolutely impossible for Luo Xiu to reconcile with Xu Minhua, and Meng Yang would do nothing to reconcile them either. He only came to meet Xu Minhua today, just to teach Xu Minhua a lesson. So he could tell her about things that Luo Xiu would not speak about. It was Xu Minhua who did the heartbreaking thing, and it was Luo Xiu who was hurt. He would not make Luo Xiu forgive, since he could not fix the problem who was Xu Minhua.

When Meng Yang came out of the bathroom, he saw Luo Xiu playing with their child in bed. He spoke: "I went to meet your mother today. She gave me a box saying it was a gift for the baby and it was given to her by your father back then which she considered one of the most precious and meaningful gifts. She asked me to temporarily keep it with me, then let the child decide when he grows up whether or not he wants it."

"Since it's not for either of us, just keep it for the child first, let's talk about it when he grows up." Luo Xiu responded calmly, with no other reaction.

Meng Yang was just letting Luo Xiu know, and he didn't want to continue this topic. Since Xu Minhua's current living conditions had nothing to do with them, he didn't want to talk or discuss it.

Getting into bed, Meng Yang sat down cross-legged. Patting Luo Xiu, he spoke, "Turn over and lie down."

"Do you want to give me a massage?" Luo Xiu asked.

"Ńn.*"

[TN:*this means, yes/alright/ok. But I thought leaving it as it is was better coz it's the sound of saying yes which was written here rather than a word]

"No need." Taking his hand and kissing it, Luo Xiu continued, "You already worked very hard today in your studies, so take a good rest."

"I haven't massaged for a long time. I need to practice my hands, otherwise, I'll forget the feeling. If that happens, how can I teach others?" Meng Yang urged, "Hurry and lie down."

Luo Xiu had no choice but to put the child aside, letting him lie down by himself, put the pacifier into his mouth, then lie down himself.

Sitting down on Luo Xiu's waist, Meng Yang massaged him. In fact, he really didn't have to practice his hands, because no matter who he needed to provide acupressure or massage, Meng Yang would always get a professional masseur to do it. It's just that after meeting Xu Minhua today, he felt very sorry for Luo Xiu. Since it made him feel uncomfortable in his heart, he wanted to do something for Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu naturally knew what Meng Yang was thinking, but didn't expose him. He just enjoyed what Meng Yang did because he felt sorry for him. Since this was what Meng Yang hoped for.

It felt good to feel cared and distressed for by others, especially when it was done by someone you loved. This was a source of happiness.

Meng Yang studied in this country for a month. During this period, Luo Xiu had to return to China twice. At other times, he would try his best to stay and accompany Meng Yang and their child.

Korch was an expert in psychology and neurology. He too had some students who he personally mentored. When studying, Meng Yang listened to Korch's lectures and learned with those students.

Neurology was a very complex subject, including biochemistry, pharmacology, physiology, pathology, as well as development, genetics, and so on.

Since he was studying here only for a month and the next time of studying here was not yet been determined, Meng Yang worked very hard in his studies. Every teacher preferred this kind of hardworking, motivated, smart and talented student. So the person who was asked questions and praised most often during Korch's class was Meng Yang. Even when treating patients, Meng Yang was the one who Korch most often brought with him as an assistant.

Today, Korch was giving a lesson to his students. When it was time for students to ask questions, he once again asked Meng Yang to ask his queries first.

"I just finished aromatherapy for a patient with bipolar disorder in the morning. This time I used the aroma medicine to soothe his emotions. The medicated bath and acupuncture can refresh the brain and resuscitate, and regulate the qi and blood, mainly soothing the liver." Meng Yang continued: "But he still has to overcome psychological factors to achieve a radical cure. Do you have any good suggestions for his situation?"

Nodding in response, Korch was about to answer when his assistant came in after knocking on the door.

"What's the matter?" Turning his head, Korch questioned.

"Doctor Devik is back. He said he hopes you can go to the hospital as he has something to discuss with you," the assistant answered.

Korch turned his head back, looking at the students he spoke, "That's all for today's class. Everyone can go back."

"Teacher, I'll go with you."

"Teacher, I will go too."

"And me, take me too, teacher."

More than a dozen students expressed their desire to go to see Doctor Devik with Korch. Meng Yang didn't know who this doctor was, so he didn't bother expressing any interest in it.

"Go back and take this time to correct your thesis." Korch added: "Meng Yang, get ready and come with me."

"Okay." Meng Yang began to pack his things up.

The other students showed disappointed and regretful expressions.

Getting up, Meng Yang followed Korch to walk out. While walking Korch gave a brief introduction to Meng Yang: "Devik is an excellent doctor. He has a wide range of expertise and has a certain understanding of ancient medicine and aromatherapy in your country. He can also do acupuncture. As long as it is a treatment that has a therapeutic effect on the patient, he'll try to understand it. He was very active in recommending aromatherapy from your country to me."

Meng Yang nodded. From the performance of those other classmates who had wanted to follow moments ago, he could already guess that this Doctor Devik must be a particularly good doctor.

The two of them walked out while talking.

After getting in the car, Meng Yang called Luo Xiu to let him know he would be a little late to come back today, then asked him to take the child home first before going out to socialize.

Right after he hung up the phone, Luo Xiu asked the nanny to bring the child over so he could go home.

Looking at him, Luo Xiu's friend Adonis asked, "Do you have to take care of the baby yourself? I really don't understand, your wife can just enjoy doing nothing. Why does he work so hard putting so much effort?"

"Because there's a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction you can't buy with money by doing what you want to do and completing the goals in your heart. This kind of life is more fun and has a reason. If you just enjoy and don't work hard for anything, it may be fine for a short time, but over time, one's mentality will go wrong." Luo Xiu replied.

"I see, it's actually another way you use to spoil your wife." Adonis commented.

Holding the child, Luo Xiu stood up before saying, "Let's go, I'll send the child back first."

Arriving at the hospital, when Korch was about to take Meng Yang to Doctor Devik's office, they ran into him in the corridor. After Korch introduced Meng Yang to him, they conversed as they walked forward.

"Korch mentioned you to me several times, saying you are a very talented genius. And in terms of aromatherapy, you are more powerful than those Masters he had seen." Doctor Devik spoke with a smile: "So I've always wanted to meet you, I told him to bring you to see me as soon as I returned home."

Meng Yang hurriedly spoke: "Incense and aromatherapy are extensive and profound. I am only a student now, so I have only learned a little bit. Not at all comparable to the master. I just mastered some formulas which treated the symptoms right, that's why the teacher is thinking I'm great, but these few formulas cannot represent the whole of aromatherapy."

"Although you undermine your knowledge, it's not exactly as you say.*" Doctor Devik spoke with a smile: "For us, it's different. We only care about the patient's treatment results, not other aspects we don't understand. In the past few years, I also had a great interest in aromatherapy from your country. So currently I am studying about it. This time I just returned from Weining County in your country, ah and I also went to Quyao County. It was really amazing. What an enviable place, but unfortunately there wasn't enough time to visit some more counties."

[TN: *Originally this is what the doctor said, but I truly don't know how to put it in a better way. I discussed this with my friend who is a native Chinese as well, yet she was also confused about how to write this sentence in English. So I will write it in a way which suits the conversation. If you guys know how to write it in a better way, let me know. "他说的厉害，跟你说的不是一个意思"]

Meng Yang paused, then asked with a smile, "Did you go to travel or buy medicinal materials?"

"Both." Devik answered: "I accompanied one of my patients and bought some local medicines and medicinal materials by the way. There you can experience the feeling of spiritual healing."

Doctor Devik led them into a luxurious suite. Standing in the living room, Devik opened the curtain on the glass door. Pointing at the person who was in a coma, he spoke, "This kid just turned eighteen. On his eighteenth birthday, he was severely injured and hurt his head. It's already been two months, but he is still unconscious. The side effects we have in western medicine are quite serious, and the child has a special physique. He is allergic to many western medicine ingredients, so we dare not give him drugs indiscriminately. I heard you woke up a patient who had been in a coma for a long time, so I want you to try using aromatherapy to make him wake up."

Taking a look inside, Meng Yang thought; how does a person who could afford such a ward easily be injured to the point of falling into a coma? There must be a reason.

"I... can give it a try, but I need to understand his situation first. I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to wake him up." Meng Yang responded with reservations.

"These words, I've also said to many patients' families for countless years." Devik smiled: "The only thing we can do is to do our best."

Walking out of the suite, they continued to chat. However, Meng Yang saw someone he had never expected to meet. That person was Luo Sheng. No, he had heard he changed his name to Cheng Sheng now. And the man next to him was his second uncle Cheng Sang. Meng Yang couldn't help but think; what were they doing here? Could it be that Elder Cheng was seriously ill, so they came here for treatment?

Cheng Sheng also saw Meng Yang after approaching, making him taken aback for a moment. However, he then directly walked away with his uncle. While Cheng Sheng was walking over, he looked at Meng's eyes; it was like slow-moving the camera, the two people's eyes looked as if two knives were slashing towards each other in a fast confrontation, sparks shooting in all directions.

After returning home, Meng Yang waited until Luo Xiu came home to immediately let him know about this matter.

"I was in the hospital today and saw Luo...Cheng Sheng and his uncle Cheng Sang there." Meng Yang spoke, "For them to show up in the hospital, could it be because Elder Cheng is seriously ill, so they had to send him for treatment?"

"Elder Cheng is terrified he'll die abroad, so he hasn't gone abroad for many years now." Luo Xiu responded, "It's not strange for them to appear in the hospital. They should be there looking for someone. After all, Cheng family's main business now is the pharmaceutical factory."

Meng Yang thought for a while and felt Luo Xiu's words made sense.

"The Cheng family situation is not so good in China now, so they've begun to look for a way out abroad." Luo Xiu added.

The Cheng family's current bad situation was caused by Luo Xiu and his friend's plan.

"Their family should also have a good experience, how difficult it was for you back then." Hugging his waist, Meng Yang spoke.

"They haven't reached the kind of situation I had to face still, but they won't be able to maintain the current situation for long."

"Although I really want to see the Cheng family collapse soon, and see the downfall of the Cheng family," Leaning his head on Luo Xiu's shoulder, Meng Yang continued, "A dog will jump over the wall when it is in a hurry*. You must Be careful."

[TN: *Baidu: A dog can jump over a wall in a hurry means a dog can jump over a wall in a hurry. 1. The meaning of a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry: is a metaphor for bad guys who are desperate would make trouble when they are desperate]

"Don't worry." Luo Xiu kissed his forehead before continuing, "For you and our child, I'll definitely be more careful and will never do anything risky."

The hatred in Meng Yang's heart towards the Cheng family was to the extent he couldn't wait to slash them a thousand times. Cheng Sheng killed him in his previous life, while the father and son of the Cheng family killed Luo Xiu in the previous life. If such a deep hatred was not satiated, Meng Yang would live uneasy all his life.

After learning about Kay's* physical condition, Meng Yang re-studied and adjusted the formula. This time, Meng Yang was really not sure, at least much less sure than when he gave Su Di the aromatherapy. Because Kay had a special physique, he didn't dare use many medicines with stronger effects.

[EN: *unconscious boy's name, it wasn't mentioned before]

When Meng Yang went to the hospital these days, he would see Cheng Sheng almost every day. He always stood in a corner not far away, looking at Meng Yang with a stern look, however, he never came close. After Meng Yang saw him, he would stand there for a while and leave.

Meng Yang knew he was doing this deliberately. Because Cheng Sheng couldn't do anything to him now, he used this method to deliberately scare and disgust him.

[TNOTE: Guys, I'm just clarifying. The author clearly stated in a previous chapter that these aromatherapy techniques are over-exaggerated. And since this is a world the author created, many things would be unrealistic. I'm just reminding you guys again, just in case because there are medical treatments written in this chapter.]

Before Meng Yang could give Kay aromatherapy, he had to get the consent of Kay's parents. However, Kay's parents had no idea about aromatherapy, so they didn't agree to treat Kay in this way. Hence, Doctor Devik was in the process of communicating with them.

"Doctor Devik, it's not that we are unwilling to believe your words, but you also know that Kay's physique is special and his condition is not very good now. We really dare not take this risk." Kay's father spoke.

"Yes, this kind of treatment sounds like oriental witchcraft, how can I rest assured for it to be used on Kay?" Kay's mother stated: "I hope you can understand our feelings as parents."

"Aromatherapy is not witchcraft, it is a branch of Eastern ancient medicine." Devik patiently explained to them: "Oriental ancient medicine has been passed down for thousands of years. In ancient times, their medical techniques and the use of medications were much higher than ours. Even now, it's a marvellous way of treatment."

Kay's mother took a look at Meng Yang before saying, "But he looks like a child, he and Kay should be about the same age. How can we rest assured for him to treat Kay?"

Meng Yang thought to himself: Whether it was in the East or the West, age was the first reference condition for judging a person's ability, because age represented experience.

"Because he used aromatherapy to wake up a person who had been in a coma for more than a year after a car accident, I specially invited him for Kay's treatment. Do you think I'll use Kay's life as a joke? And my reputation as a doctor?"

Kay's parents glanced at each other, gradually convinced.

"You can go back and think about it. But I have to remind you, in Kay's current situation, the longer he stays in a coma, the more harmful it is for his health." Doctor Devik advised.

"How sure are you to make Kay wake up as soon as possible?" Looking at Meng Yang, Kay's father asked. When he heard Doctor Devik say Meng Yang had experience in waking up people who have been in a coma for a year, his heart was already shaken.

"I can't give you any guarantees about how certain it is to wake him up or how much time it would take to wake him up." Meng Yang replied truthfully.

"Doctor Devik..." Kay's father looked at Devik again to question, "Is there really no better way?"

"At the moment, I can't think of any better way than this. There are too many medicines we can't casually give to Kay. Even if they can be used, I can't make any guarantees to you. All we can do is to do our best." Devik continued: "Or, just wait for him to wake up."

Kay's parents were silent, Devik told them to go back and think about it, then took Meng Yang and the others out of the suite living room.

After two days of thinking, Kay's parents felt that even if they didn't believe in Meng Yang, they should believe in Devik, so they agreed to let Meng Yang give Kay aromatherapy.

When the fifth aromatherapy session was done, Meng Yang left the hospital to go home. When he walked into the parking lot of the hospital, a few men wearing black clothes and sunglasses stopped him. Although Meng Yang had more bodyguards, if there was a conflict, he still had to be very careful.

Among those men, one person came out and spoke politely: "I'm sorry to disturb you. We are not malicious. My boss wants you to talk about Master Kay."

As the man said, he glanced at the car next to him.

Meng Yang turned his head to glance at the car following his gaze, then replied: "No matter who your boss is, I won't get in any stranger's car. For aromatherapy, please go to the hospital to make an appointment in advance."

A tall, cold-faced man came down from the car and walked in front of Meng Yang, "I am Kay's boyfriend. I want to know something about Kay's treatment. Why don't we find a coffee shop? How about sitting down and chatting?"

"Sorry, my husband doesn't allow me to agree to other men's invitations for any reason. If you want to find out about Kay's situation, it's more appropriate to go to Dr Devik. He's Kay's attending doctor." Meng Yang doesn't even know who he was, so how could he go with him? Even children knew not to leave with strangers casually. Since Cheng Sheng had not appeared these days, he was more guarded.

Getting in the car under the protection of bodyguards, Meng Yang directly left.

After returning to the villa, Meng Yang played with the child for a while, then continued to read and study in the living room.

When the helper informed Luo Xiu was back, Meng Yang immediately got up and walked to the door quickly.

"Uncle Luo." Hugging Luo Xiu's waist, Meng Yang looked up, waiting for his kiss.

Luo Xiu hugged Meng Yang, then kissed him before saying, "A guest is here."

"Guest?" Meng Yang tilted his head to look behind Luo Xiu. Two people really came in behind him, and one of them was the man who claimed to be Kay's boyfriend at noon.

Luo Xiu introduced the two to Meng Yang. One of them was Luo Xiu's friend in this country and his business partner. And the other was the person who claimed to be Kay's boyfriend, who was a friend of Luo Xiu's friend, called Franson*. Luo Xiu had already found out that Franson had found Meng Yang at noon.

[TN: *So, the name the author gave was spelt as fú lún sēn. So I wrote it as Franson, which sounded similar since Fulunsen doesn't look much like a name. EN: Fu Lunsen? Tho it's probably not a Chinese name like Kay's wasn't]

Meng Yang felt that since Franson was Luo Xiu's friend's friend, and Luo Xiu had brought them home, he naturally could not treat this person with a noon attitude, otherwise, it would be bad for Luo Xiu to offend people.

They sat down in the living room. The questions Franson wanted to ask were actually similar to the concerns Kay's parents had. He just wanted to confirm with Meng Yang personally about how sure he was to make Kay wake up. He hoped that Meng Yang would tell him truthfully.

Meng Yang replied with the same words. He couldn't make any guarantees, he could only do his best.

"Actually, I believe and have confidence in your desire for aromatherapy, because I know you have awakened people who have been in a coma for more than a year. Originally, I already wanted to ask you to treat Kay. It's just that Dr Devik happened to find you before me to treat Kay."

"I can prove that this is indeed the case." Luo Xiu's friend said.

Looking at Meng Yang, Franson continued: "The main purpose of my meeting with you this time is to let me be by his side while you are treating Kay."

Meng Yang froze for a moment before saying, "You should talk to Kay's parents or Dr Devik. I don't have the right to decide on such a thing."

"I just want you to help me persuade Dr Devik to agree." Franson continued: "I have a big conflict with Kay's parents. Kay ran out of the house secretly to see me. Then he was accidentally injured, so Kay's parents got even more resistant to me. They don't allow me to approach Kay, but I know he needs me now. If I could stay with him, he would definitely wake up sooner."

"Then why don't you go directly to Dr Devik?" Meng Yang asked.

"I originally planned to talk to him, but after serious consideration, I thought it's more appropriate for you to talk about it than me going straight to talk to him." Franson answered.

Meng Yang turned his head to look at Luo Xiu, after a brief look at each other, he told Franson he needed to think about it. Since it would take some time to understand the specific situation.

After sitting for a while, Franson and Luo Xiu's friend left.

[EN: Poor friend wasn't given a name]

During the meal, Meng Yang asked Luo Xiu: "If I agree to do Franson's favour, would it be beneficial to you?"

Looking at Meng Yang, Luo Xiu answered, "If you can make him owe you this favour, it'll definitely be beneficial to me. And it'll be very beneficial in blocking the back road of the Cheng family. But if this goes against the morals in your heart, you are completely free to reject him without thinking about other things, I'll naturally have other ways."

Meng Yang thought seriously about this while eating.

Putting down his chopsticks, Luo Xiu held Meng Yang's hand, looked at him and spoke, "You don't need to think too much, just do it according to your heart, then trust me."

Meng Yang nodded.

The next day, Meng Yang went to the hospital again, preparing to give Kay aromatherapy.

Meng Yang took the assistant and went to the suite to make preparations. As soon as he entered, he saw Franson sitting on the sofa. Meng Yang froze for a moment, but what else could he say, so he just started to prepare straight away.

When Doctor Devik walked in with Kay's parents, Kay's parents immediately became stir upped when they saw Franson.

"What are you doing?!" Kay's mother shouted glaring at Franson: "Do you still have the face to come here?! It's all because of you that Kay became like this, and you still dare to appear here?!"

"Please leave immediately and don't show up in front of Kay in the future. We will never allow you to see Kay!" Kay's father also spoke solemnly.

Getting up, Franson replied blankly: "The person Kay needs the most is me. You are also responsible for this happening. He's already like this now. Do you have to control him because of your own selfishness? "

"If he didn't sneak out to see you, would he have got seriously injured?!" Kay's mother exclaimed excitedly: "Why are you reluctant to let him go! Must you kill him before you are willing to give up?!"

"Have you said enough?!" Doctor Devik spoke with a stern face, "This is a hospital, a place where patients are treated, not a place where you can quarrel and yell. If you want to quarrel, go do it back in your own home!"

Devik took out his dignity as a doctor, and both sides lost their voices because Kay's current problem was very serious. Although they were hostile to each other, they all truly loved Kay and hoped he could wake up sooner.

Looking at Kay's parents, Devik added, "If I can hear your quarrel again, I'll apply for a patient protection order and you'll not be allowed to approach Kay."

This made Kay's parents panic immediately. If they were forbidden to approach Kay, they would be pushing Kay towards Franson. They immediately assured Devik they would do their best to control their emotions and would not argue again.

"We are going to treat Kay now, so you all go out and wait." Devik simply drove them all out.

The three originally wanted to stay, but now that Devik wanted to drive them away, they could only leave.

Glancing at them, Meng Yang thought: Under the protection of various laws, Western doctors were tough enough, although here it was mainly because Doctor Devik himself was tough.

Thinking of this, Meng Yang looked back at Franson who walked outside the door. He felt Franson deliberately wanted to anger Kay's parents and make them lose custody of Kay. No wonder he didn't talk to Dr Devik at the beginning, saying he wanted to be by his side during Kay's treatment, but asked him to persuade Dr Devik. He wanted to bring Kay's parents to the same position as him, then let him persuade Dr Devik, making his odds of winning even greater. Now he had a better chance of winning than him going to talk with Dr Devik at the beginning and getting strongly rejected by Kay's parents. This man's scheming was really strong enough.

And after seeing Meng Yang's eyes, Franson knew that Meng Yang had already seen his thoughts. Franson also thought, since Meng Yang could marry Luo Xiu, he was sure to be extraordinary.

Meng Yang had already learned about Kay and the grievances between his parents and the Franson family, but he was still hesitant to agree to Franson's request.

On this day, when Meng Yang went to give Kay aromatherapy, he met Celsey at the door of the suite.

"Celsey?" Meng Yang exclaimed.

"Meng Yang." Celsey was also surprised to see Meng Yang. Looking at Meng Yang, he questioned, "Why are you here?"

"I came to give Kay aromatherapy, did you come to see him?" Meng Yang asked back.

Nodding, Celsey answered, "He's my friend. I already made an appointment with the hospital in advance to see how he's doing."

The two walked in together. Walking outside the glass door, Celsey looked at Kay for a while before asking, "How long will it take for him to wake up?"

"This is not certain. Although we've tried our best to wake him up, the most important thing is to see if he wants to wake up." Meng Yang answered, "Can you tell me about him? Regarding his relationship with his parents and his relationship with Franson, I hope you can tell me everything you know."

Asking Celsey to sit down on the sofa, Meng Yang asked the assistant to pour tea for the two of them. What Meng Yang knew about Kay was what Kay's parents and Franson said respectively, but they must have their own feelings. He wanted to understand some other things from the perspective of this friend of Celsey.

Celsey sighed, then told Meng Yang what he knew.

In fact, it's not very complicated. Kay and Franson's families have been rivals for many years, but the two of them fell in love with each other. Still, over the years, the two families had made a vendetta against each other. So it was naturally impossible for Kay's parents to agree for them to be together. This made the Kays parents do everything possible to prevent them from meeting each other. So Kay, missing Franson, snuck out to see him, but he was also a road idiot. He accidentally got lost and ran to a place where the public security management was particularly bad. He was so unlucky and got hurt by a group that mistook his identity.

These were things Meng Yang already knew, so Meng Yang asked Celsey again if Kay had told him anything before.

Celsey told Meng Yang that Kay loved his parents and Franson very much. So he was caught in a dilemma and felt it was very painful. Kay told him that when he was with Franson, he felt the happiest but because of the strong opposition from his parents, Franson also proposed to either breakup or be with him and forced him to make a choice, making him be in an even more difficult spot, not knowing what to do.

After Celsey left, Meng Yang stood outside the glass door and looked at Kay. He thought to himself, in what kind of mood did he sneak out? Was it because of the longing in his heart that he wanted to meet Franson, or he finally mustered the courage to pursue what he wanted most in his heart?

It was difficult for an upright official to decide on housework*. Meng Yang felt that these kinds of grievances the two of them had, had nothing to do with him, and he did not want to understand as well. All he had to do was to try his best to wake up Kay. However, if he wanted to do his best, he must use all available methods.

[TN: *Baidu: It is difficult for an honest official to judge house affairs. As the saying goes, family affairs are complicated, and it is difficult for a clean and impartial official to judge right from wrong]

Hence, Meng Yang went to persuade Doctor Devik to let Franson accompany him when he was performing aromatherapy on Kay. He would be more likely to wake up because the person he wanted to meet was Franson. Devik also felt what Meng Yang said was reasonable, so he went to Kay's parents to discuss this matter. Kay's parents naturally opposed it strongly, but then they were reprimanded by Doctor Devik, saying they were too selfish and not qualified to be parents. And he could use this as an excuse to apply to cancel their custody of Kay, making Kay's parents have no other choice but to agree.

Meng Yang adjusted the formula of the aromatic medicine again then asked Franson to accompany him to talk to him during the aromatherapy. He then let Franson complete part of the massage work. Meng Yang felt this kind of intimacy between lovers might stimulate Kay enabling him to wake up as soon as possible.

After more than a month, Kay woke up.

Kay's parents and Franson rushed to the hospital immediately after receiving the news.

Seeing his parents and Franson appear next to him at the same time, Kay thought he was actually dreaming. Because he was still very weak and needed a rest, a few minutes later, the nurse invited Kay's parents and Franson out.

"Thank you." Looking at Meng Yang, Franson spoke gratefully: "I'll remember this favour, and I'll definitely pay it back."

"I don't need you to pay back the favour, but if you think you have to do something to feel comfortable in your heart, maybe you can talk to my husband." Meng Yang responded.

"I will. I wanted to make friends with him before," Franson replied.

Kay's parents also walked over to express their gratitude to Meng Yang. Although they had strongly opposed Meng Yang's aromatherapy for Kay before and questioned Meng Yang's ability, they were now sincerely grateful.

"I can now understand very well why Korch would say you are the most powerful aroma therapist he has ever seen." Devik spoke, "Honestly when he said this to me, I told him he must be saying that because he hasn't seen any other aromatherapists. But now, I have to say, you really are amazing."

"It's not me that is great, but the formulas I used. These are the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors. They are definitely not my personal contribution." Meng Yang replied truthfully: "Without those formulas, it would be impossible to wake Kay up with my current ability."

"You Orientals are still habitually humble. I know they have developed your aromatherapy for many years, and you have a variety of formulas, but there are no formulas that can do what you can do." Doctor Devik said.

Meng Yang helplessly thought to himself: I really am not trying to be humble, every word of mine is the truth.

Now that his study time has ended, Meng Yang should also return to China. It was only because he had to do the aromatherapy for Kay that the time to return was delayed. As he didn't want to fall behind in his studies in China and he had to apprise back what he had learned here to the people in the Aromatherapy Branch, Meng Yang wanted to go back as soon as possible.

Korch of course tried to keep him here, hoping he could stay and study in the university in their country. Meng Yang naturally refused with courteous words.

Two days later, the maids packed up their luggage for them to return. Meng Yang sat in the living room with their child in his arms, waiting for Luo Xiu to return from the company, so they could set off to the airport.

"We are going home, are you happy?" Shaking the child lightly, Meng Yang asked with a light smiled, "Do you miss home?"

Although he knew his child couldn't understand, Meng Yang always liked to tell him all kinds of things. He didn't know if other parents had this habit, but he couldn't help but just do it.

Taking advantage of Luo Xiu not being there, Meng Yang couldn't help but secretly kiss the child, then whisper: "This is our little secret. You can't let your father know, you know?"

Luo Xiu was yet to return, however, Celsey visited.

Celsey hadn't had a good chat with Meng Yang until now because he was busy. Knowing Meng Yang was going back to China today, he came to send him off while bringing gifts to the child, although he could not attend the full moon banquet for the child before, he still sent a big gift at that time as well.

"So cute." Looking at the child, Celsey exclaimed: "His face looks like a kind of snack in your country. It is round and white. People can't help but want to take a bite when they see it. What do you say that is?"

"Tangyuan*?" Meng Yang asked.

[TN: *Tangyuan is a Chinese dessert that is a ball of glutinous rice flour and water that has been either boiled and served in a hot broth or syrup or else deep-fried.]

"That's it, Tangyuan, small and fat, very cute." Celsey nodded immediately.

Meng Yang smiled, their child's face was indeed getting rounder, white and tender, looking even more adorable.

"Have you gone to see Kay?" Meng Yang asked.

"The doctor said he's still very weak so I can't visit him. He has to wait until he can sit up by himself and speak for a long time before he can have visits." Celsey replied, "I'm really happy he could wake up thanks to you. You are so powerful that you can use spices to wake up people who are unconscious. I heard when you were studying with Dr Korch, you used spices for those with anxiety and depression to treat them and the effect was very good."

"Actually, I'm not using just spices, but some herbs are added to them as well, that's why it'll have a good effect." Meng Yang spoke.

"Anyway, it's still very powerful. I didn't know spices can still be used in medical treatment. I thought at most, fragrance and essential oils can be used to soothe people's minds. I never thought it could be so powerful." Celsey couldn't help sighing again, "You are really amazing."

Meng Yang just smiled, then talked to him about the newly launched perfumes from various companies. It was not until Luo Xiu came back that Celsey finally left, and Meng Yang and the others also set off for the airport.

After returning to China, Luo Xiu directly went to the company. When Meng Yang took the child back to the main house, the child just woke up. Hugging the child, Meng Yang wandered around the house.

"This is your room, your crib, remember?" Putting the child in the crib, Meng Yang sat down next to him looking at him: "Feel it, is it a familiar feeling?"

However, since the child just woke up, he was not willing to lie down. Seeing him waving his small arms in protest, Meng Yang picked him up again.

"You don't want to be in the room? Then let's go to the flower room, okay?" Meng Yang spoke as he walked out with the baby in his arms, "When you were still in your dad's tummy, the place where we stayed most was the flower room."

Meng Yang took the child and walked to the flower room to show him the plants that were made into small landscapes. Although he knew very well he could not understand them, he still told him what they were.

After a while, the maid walked in to inform, "Master Meng Yang, your teacher and the Vice President of the Aromatherapy Branch are here."

Meng Yang froze for a moment, thinking they really couldn't wait. He was going to the school and the Aromatherapy branch tomorrow, but they still came here today.

"Invite them to the small living room to entertain, just say I'll be there soon." Meng Yang instructed.

"Yes."

Handing the child to the babysitter, Meng Yang asked the babysitter to take the baby to sunbathe in the garden, then quickly walked to the study to fetch the notes and materials.

After going to the study to get his tablet, as well as various materials and books, Meng Yang then went to the small living room to meet Lin Songtai and the Vice President.

"Teacher, Vice President." Meng Yang walked into the small living room and sat down while greeting them.

"Thanks for your hard work during this period of time. I heard Korch had said you've worked very hard and even performed better than his other students." Lin Songtai spoke.

"Although I don't want to boast, I also feel my foundation was better than other students studying together, so I learned faster." With a smile, Meng Yang added, "Because the study time is not very long, I could only try to write down what I learned carefully. These are the notes I made myself, these are some data from the treatment records of Doctor Korch, and these books are the ones I think are very good. I want to recommend it to other students so they could also buy it to take a look."

Meng Yang learned a lot of things by studying from Korch. Those were precious experiences. It could be said that one could not learn such things just by studying in school.

After looking through the notes for a bit, Lin Songtai and the Vice President planned to take them back to show the psychology professor they had hired, so they could discuss how to arrange for the professor and Meng Yang to share these contents with the rest of the students.

"Before you came back, Korch mentioned how he wanted you to stay and continue to study there in many conversations with us." Looking at Meg Yang, the Vice President asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"I think the previous arrangement is pretty good. Although I also want to learn more there, I feel studying in China is more important and cannot be left behind." Meng Yang replied.

Nodding in agreement, the Vice President continued: "Then it will be carried out according to the previous arrangements. I can feel that Korch hopes you can stay in their country for a long time, or stay in his psychotherapy hospital for a long time. But I think you must understand how our branch and our country need you more."

With a smile, Meng Yang replied: "My home is here, how can I stay there for a long time?"

Although the Vice President was also very clear in his heart; since Meng Yang was already married, and the Luo Group was based in their country, it was unlikely for Meng Yang to stay there for a long time, but he and the President were still a little worried about Meng Yang being persuaded by Korch. After all, who would not try to keep a genius and talent like Meng Yang? Even the General Management often calls to check on Meng Yang and his studies. They must expand the role of aromatherapy in order to make aromatherapy have a better development prospect, and Meng Yang was likely to become a key figure for this development in the future.

After they chatted for a while, Lin Songtai and the Vice President got up and left. Meng Yang sent them outside the gate, asked the nanny to bring the child, then took the child back to the room to sleep.

Putting on his pyjamas, Meng Yang then changed the little clothes for the child. After he put him on the bed, he waited for the baby to fall asleep. However, even when Meng Yang was already drowsy, the child still kept his black pair of eyes open, with big, glistening eyes. Meng Yang deliberately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and from time to time, he would half-open his eyes to look at him. But yet, the child was very happy eating his chubby hand and kicking on his own. Meng Yang fell asleep without knowing it.

When Meng Yang woke up in a daze, Luo Xiu was sleeping behind him hugging him. Rolling over, hugged Luo Xiu, rubbing his face against his chest before sobering up. Meng Yang felt that now when Luo Xiu fell asleep next to him, he would not wake up from slight movements. His current sleep quality was getting better and better. It was probably because now when he was at home; he felt more and more secure and with no sense of defence anymore.

Luo Xiu also woke up and lowered his head to kiss Meng Yang. Just as the two of them were about to make further moves, the child sleeping next to them woke up. So they could only separate, then ask the nanny to bring milk for the child.

After the nanny brought the milk in, Meng Yang held the baby, while Luo Xiu hugged Meng Yang sitting on the bedside before he spoke, "Remember what you told me when I had a headache?"

Meng Yang looked at him questioningly. He had said so many things to him, so he didn't know which sentence he was referring to.

"Rest in order to do better and more efficient work." Luo Xiu stated: "So we can also say this sentence as rest in order to better and more efficient learning."

"I know." With a smile, Meng Yang replied: "When I was abroad, my study time was so full because of the limited time I had. But now that I'm finally back, I'll definitely arrange my time well, with time for me to rest. I'll definitely rest and won't tire myself out."

The two watched the baby drink milk, kissing each other from time to time.

Meng Yang went back to school the next day. When he was in school, he received a call from Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke recounted to Meng Yang how he met Cheng Sheng and some of his friends when he was out drinking with his friends yesterday. The people on Xiao Ke's side deliberately ridiculed Cheng Sheng. Cheng Sheng became angry and offered to race with Xiao Ke, and this time would be the last time. This race will decide the final outcome.

After Su Di woke up, Xiao Ke stopped training. These days, he's studied in the company, and he did not plan to play in car racing in the future. He originally planned to refuse directly, but after remembering that the person who had always won against Cheng Sheng was Meng Yang, he thought whether to reject or accept should be decided by Meng Yang as well. In addition, he felt Meng Yang could use this opportunity to decide whether to let Cheng Sheng know who crushed him, so Xiao Ke did not directly refuse, nor explicitly agreed, and waited for Meng Yang to reply.

Meng Yang thought about it for some time seriously, then asked Xiao Ke to agree to race with Cheng Sheng. They set the time in ten days. During this time, Meng Yang wanted to practice and find his feelings.

In the next few days, Meng Yang would meet up with Lu Yunjing and Xiao Ke for two hours before going home. In fact, he went to practice the car at the place where Xiao Ke practised before. That place was safe and secretive. The most important thing was that it prevented the assistants and bodyguards from discovering them and then complaining to Luo Xiu.

Meng Yang resolved that this would be the last time he would take part in a car race. After all, he had practised so hard in his previous life, so this would be his farewell to the past. He would let Cheng Sheng know who won against him. Even if the others get to know, it wouldn't matter. As long as Luo Xiu would not see the process of his car racing. Anyway, this would be the last time he would race.

Meng Yang going out to play for two hours a day before returning home, Luo Xiu naturally had no opinion at all. Instead, he felt it was good that he still knew to go out to play.

Because Meng Yang wanted to race with Cheng Sheng this time but did not want too many onlookers, Xiao Ke specially used his dad's privileges to book the VIP area track at the racetrack, since this would be Meng Yang's last race. The booked place was an area where rich people invite professional racers to race, then gamble. It was also a place where rich people buy cars for enormous amounts, then let people test them.

Meng Yang sat in Xiao Ke's car, while Xiao Ke drove the car into the garage of the VIP zone. After they got there, the two got out of the car, and Meng Yang was about to change cars. This time Xiao Ke would not be getting into the car as well, as Meng Yang would drive out to compete with Cheng Sheng by himself.

"Hey, this person is..." Qin Feng just came out of the toilet in the VIP room. However, when he passed the monitoring area, he looked at the largest screen and was stunned for a moment, then immediately said to the screen supervisor: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! Change the screen back on the largest screen."

Li Yan and the others turned around to see, "What are you doing so surprised? What made you panic?"

"The person on the screen just now seemed to be Luo Xiu's wife." Qin Feng answered.

"How is that possible?" not believing him, Li Yan got up and walked towards him.

After Luo Xiu heard it, he immediately looked back, got up and walked over. Although he felt Qin Fei must have been mistaken, he still wanted to tell him he was wrong after seeing it with his own eyes.

"Play back the screen just now." Qin Fei said to the screen supervisor because the car in the garage had already left the garage.

On the screen, after getting out of the car, Meng Yang stood by the side of the car and said a few words to Xiao Ke, then opened the door and got in the car before driving the car out of the garage. The monitoring screen was in high-definition, so his face was captured very clearly, and when it was played back on the largest screen, it was as if Meng Yang was standing directly in front of them.

Li Yan slowly turned his head and carefully observed Luo Xiu's face.

Several other people also quietly glanced at Luo Xiu's face. Seeing Luo Xiu's face getting ugly to the naked eye, Qin Feng quickly instructed the screen supervisor: "Hurry and find out which track this car is heading to."

It only took a few seconds for the screen supervisor to find the car Meng Yang had just driven out. He then reported: "The car has entered the fifth track, President Qin. And he's already racing."

Qin Feng originally wanted to quickly find the car Meng Yang was driving and let someone stop him, but Meng Yang was already in the process of racing with someone, so he definitely couldn't stop him midway.

"Live feed the footage of the fifth track." After Luo Xiu finished speaking, he turned and walked back to where they were sitting.

Qin Feng and the others looked at each other, then they also walked over and sat down.

For this game, Cheng Sheng also practised for a period of time, and he came to the race with the determination to win even if he died. He regarded this race as a new beginning. First, he would win against Xiao Ke to boost his morale, then he must retaliate against all the people and things that had caused him pain. He would not let go of any of them!

"My sister-in-law's driving skills are pretty good. With this level of skill, he can go to professional competitions." Lu Hao couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the screen.

Li Yan gave him a slap before motioning him to shut up and not talk. Can't you see Luo Xiu's face frozen?

Cheng Sheng used all the available technologies, but no matter how unwilling he was, he could only watch the car in front of him get further and further away. In fact, the most important thing was that although he came to the game with the determination to win if he died, he was still afraid of death and slowed down where he should slow down. Otherwise, he would have almost directly got hit on several times. And his skills were not good enough to withstand a direct hit.

Driving the car to the end, Meng Yang stopped waiting for Cheng Sheng. After Cheng Sheng drove the car to his side and stopped, he thumped the steering wheel to vent his unwilling anger. He felt he had lost to himself due to his fear of death, otherwise, he would definitely win.

Cheng Sheng thought Xiao Ke would get out of the car to humiliate him, but no one got out of the car, only the window was slowly lowered. Cheng Sheng turned his head to look over and immediately froze.

After looking at him for a while, Meng Yang sneered disdainfully, then drove the car away.

Cheng Sheng's face was full of incredible shock. Wondering if the person in the car was actually Meng Yang. In other words, the person who was racing with him was not Xiao Ke but Meng Yang? So the previous few games...

Cheng Sheng almost subconsciously drove the car to chase him up. He wanted to figure out what was going on. Whether Xiao Ke and Meng Yang had jointly played him.

Several of Cheng Sheng's friends looked at each other because they didn't understand what was going on. Even if he had to leave in a hurry because he had lost, he shouldn't drive in that direction.

Following Meng Yang, Cheng Sheng drove his car into the garage. After he got out of the car, he walked towards Meng Yang angrily.

Xiao Ke's bodyguards immediately got out of the car, stopped him, preventing him from approaching Meng Yang.

"You two cooperated to play me?!" Looking at Xiao Ke, Cheng Sheng shouted angrily: "From the first time you won against me, was it him who was winning it for you?"

"So what?" Xiao Ke replied calmly: "Have I ever said that I won against you? I have repeatedly told you before, our team won against you, not me. Meng Yang joined our team a long time ago, and he raced with you on behalf of our team then won against you. Isn't it possible?"

"What is the reason you are so angry?" Looking at Cheng Sheng, Meng Yang questioned, "Is it because you feel losing to me is more embarrassing than losing to Xiao Ke, or that Xiao Ke looked for someone to replace him and win the game? Or do you feel angry when you think you lost to me? These reasons should all be there, right?"

Cheng Sheng clenched his fists tightly, his face flushed with anger because Meng Yang was right.

"If you feel what we did was not right, then you can go public about this. We don't care, anyway." Xiao Ke added: "I won't be racing with others anymore, and Meng Yang has also decided that this would be the last time he raced. Do you want others to think that you lost to me, or let others know you lost to Meng Yang? It's up to you to choose whatever you like."

At this time, the iron gate behind Meng Yang and Xiao Ke rose suddenly, making the two look back at the same time.

Meng Yang noticed Luo Xiu standing in the middle right away. He was shocked, pondering why would Luo Xiu be here?

Not only Meng Yang but Xiao Ke was also surprised. He turned his head to look at Meng Yang, who was already stiff and unable to react. A feeling of sympathy rose inexplicably in his heart.

Luo Xiu just stood there looking at Meng Yang without saying a word.

Meng Yang couldn't help but lower his head with a guilty conscience. Like a child who had made a mistake and was found out by his parents, he walked slowly to Luo Xiu and whispered: "Uncle Luo, you, when did you get here?"

Meng Yang knew Luo Xiu must have seen him racing with Cheng Sheng, otherwise, he would not directly appear here.

"A little earlier than you arrived." Luo Xiu's tone and voice were very calm, but Meng Yang still felt he was angry.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go to dinner first, and chat while eating, we can chat while eating." Li Yan hurriedly played around, thinking he could persuade Luo Xiu not to get angry while eating.

"You all go eat, we will go back first." Luo Xiu stretched out his hand towards Meng Yang.

Walking over, Meng Yang took Luo Xiu's hand.

"Let's make an appointment for another day." With that, Luo Xiu led Meng Yang away.

Li Yan and the others looked at each other, suddenly feeling a little sympathy for Meng Yang. Although they had never seen Luo Xiu angry, they could feel that even if Luo Xiu was not angry, he should definitely be upset. But if one were to think about it, no matter who would see his wife racing with others in such a dangerous way, they would definitely feel unhappy.

Xiao Ke also drove away quickly. He felt Luo Xiu had just glanced at him, which made him feel panicked and scared.

After watching Meng Yang and Xiao Ke both leave, Cheng Sheng could only leave with anger that couldn't be vented.

"Sister-in-law looks like such a gentle and delicate person. I never expected when racing with someone, his car skills would be so wild. Even I wouldn't dare to use such dangerous technology. If it's not controlled well, maybe it'll hit directly." Qin Feng spoke with a sigh.

"Luo Xiu didn't expect this himself, so how can we think of it?"

"He can't develop his car skills in a day or two, and he could actually hide this from Luo Xiu. He is also quite capable."

"Just say fewer words. There might be conflicts between the husband and wife, and here you are sighing and analyzing." Li Yan shook his head.

After getting in the car, Meng Yang sat so far away from Luo Xiu for the first time. After hesitating for a while, he moved his body, clinging to Luo Xiu, and held his arm before asking, "Are you angry?"

"Do you think I should be angry? Or should I not be angry?" Luo Xiu asked back in a rhetorical tone as if he was letting Meng Yang choose.

Meng Yang didn't know how to answer. After a while of silence, he could only change the subject and ask: "Why were you there?"

"Qin Feng bought some imported cars and wanted to test their performance. They've said the cars were modified and safer. So he wanted us to choose two out of them. I thought we should change your car, so I went to see them." Luo Xiu replied calmly.

"Oh, really? Did you choose?" Meng Yang asked in a low voice, thinking how his car had only been changed less than half a year. How could there be such a coincidence?

"In order to watch a wonderful car race, I didn't have time to choose." Luo Xiu answered.

Meng Yang had nothing more to say, but he still held Luo Xiu's arm tightly. Even if he knew Luo Xiu was angry, he still had to hold him like this to feel at ease.

The two were silent the whole way. Returning to the main house, Meng Yang rushed back to the room after he got out of the car, as if someone was chasing him behind, he almost trotted.

Meng Yang asked the nanny to bring the child. He knew Luo Xiu would definitely ask him questions, so holding the child would give him more courage. When the child saw Meng Yang hugging him, he smiled openly. Patting Meng Yang's face with his little hand to express his joy.

After walking to Meng Yang's side, Luo Xiu patted the child's hand away a little too hard. The child's white and tender chubby hands immediately turned red. Because the pat hurt, the child looked at Luo Xiu with aggrieved eyes.

Taking the child's chubby hand, Meng Yang kissed it. He didn't dare to help him talk. He could only say in his heart, baby, it's not that Dad doesn't want to help you. Dad made a mistake and got caught. Now he's waiting to be told off.

Meng Yang sat down on the sofa with the child in his arms. Luo Xiu sat opposite him, but he didn't speak and just looked at him. Meng Yang glanced at him from time to time, his heart becoming more and more nervous involuntarily.

After the two were silent for a while, Luo Xiu asked, "When you rescued me, did you know that the person in the car was me, or did you not know that the person in the car was me?"

Meng Yang was stunned. He didn't expect Luo Xiu to suddenly ask him this question. He didn't know how to answer it for a while. It should be said that he couldn't answer this question. If he said he knew, how was he going to justify how he knew Luo Xiu's whereabouts? How was he sure that Luo Xiu would show up at that time? How did he know Luo Xiu had a headache and stopped his car before he rushed down the mountain? If he answered that he didn't know that the person in the car was Luo Xiu, then why had he appeared there during important college exams, as if waiting for him exclusively.

In fact, this question had always existed in Luo Xiu's heart, but he deliberately didn't let himself think deeply. Because he had a hunch, unless Meng Yang told him the reason, otherwise he could not figure out the answer. After seeing Meng Yang's car skills with his own eyes, this question once again emerged from the depths of his heart, making him have to face it.

Meng Yang swallowed nervously. He held the child tightly, avoiding Luo Xiu's sight.

"Aren't you going to tell me the truth?" Luo Xiu asked.

"I ... haven't figured out how to tell you yet." Meng Yang whispered.

Looking at Meng Yang, Luo Xiu once again questioned, "You can think about this slowly. Once you think about it, it's fine. Now let's talk about your car racing. Why did you want to keep it from me?"

"If I let you know, you would definitely not agree to let me go racing with Cheng Sheng, but..." What Meng Yang wanted to say was that winning against Cheng Sheng in car racing was one of his unfulfilled wishes in his previous life. But he couldn't say it, so he could only promise Luo Xiu: "I've already decided not to race with anyone ever again, nor will I secretly hide from you to do anything else. I promise to tell you everything I do in the future."

After being silent for a while, Luo Xiu answered, "I believe you can do it."

Getting up, Luo Xiu walked out of the room. Meng Yang looked at his back and felt a little uncomfortable. Luo Xiu didn't look like he was angry, but he would rather have Luo Xiu be angry and teach him a lesson instead of saying nothing so coldly. Although Meng Yang knew he was in the wrong, he did not know how to explain everything clearly to the person he loved the most. Because if he did, Luo Xiu would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart. So now, Luo Xiu made him feel wronged in his heart because of this. Sure enough, Meng Yang felt he was too spoiled. When one got used to it, one couldn't stand a little grievance.

Even when it was time, they should go to bed, Luo Xiu did not come out of the study. After Meng Yang put the child to sleep, he went to the study to find Luo Xiu.

Walking to the desk, Meng Yang looked at Luo Xiu before saying, "It's time to go to bed."

"You go to bed first, I'll come soon." Still looking at the trend chart on the computer screen, Luo Xiu answered.

Meng Yang stood beside him, taking his hand, he said, "Come to bed."

Turning his head to glance at him, Luo Xiu got up and took his hand, then walked back to the room.

Luo Xiu went to the bathroom to wash up, while Meng Yang laid on the bed waiting for him. Thinking whereas if this was the first cold war between him and Luo Xiu. Although Luo Xiu's attitude was obviously cold, he still did not ignore him.

After Luo Xiu came out of the bathroom, he went to bed and laid down. Meng Yang hugged him in his arms before saying, "I'll never drive again, and I promise not to hide what I'm going to do. Don't be angry. Okay?"

Luo Xiu hugged Meng Yang and kissed his forehead without a word.

Not hearing the answer he wanted, Meng Yang felt even more wronged. He held Luo Xiu, thinking he didn't blame Luo Xiu for being angry, but he also wanted to explain but couldn't explain it. When he felt anxious, tears came out.

Originally, Luo Xiu hadn't figured out how to teach Meng Yang, and he was reluctant to scold him. It was even more impossible for him to punish him. So he could only chill him first, letting him know the seriousness of the matter. But when Meng Yang cried, he immediately couldn't hold it.

"You scold me." Meng Yang cried.

"Don't cry." Luo Xiu sat up. Holding Meng Yang in his arms, he helped him wipe his tears before adding, "I won't scold you, and I won't be angry anymore."

Not hearing what he wanted to hear, Meng Yang cried even harder.

"I'm really not angry anymore." Luo Xiu hugged Meng Yang, stroking his back to calm him down, "Don't cry."

"I know you are still angry, why do you want to lie to me? Do you think if you lied to me you are not angry anymore, I can't feel it anymore?" Crying, Meng Yang pushed him away, then crawled out of the bed and dashed away, trying to get away.

"Where are you going?" Luo Xiu asked hurriedly.

"You don't have to care!" Meng Yang ran to the door barefoot, opened the door and ran out.

Immediately getting out of bed, Luo Xiu chased after him.
