Chapter 5 – Yan Sui, you are so kind, it's great to be able to marry you.

"I want to eat egg fried rice … can I?" Meng ting was already looking forward to it.

Seeing Meng Ting's pitiful stare, Yan Sui could only relent. He gently nodded. Meng Ting's face once again broke out into a smile and he pulled on Yan Sui's sleeve. "I want lots of rice."

"Alright," Yan Sui really didn't know how much rice is considered "alot"…

Gu Lang received Yan Sui's text message. He stared at it for a long time, only to realize what he was seeing was actually real. Normally, all he had to do was order a maid if there was something that he needed done; however, this young master was suddenly hungry…at a banquet. Who asks for a egg fried rice delivery…at a banquet?

Due to his strong curiosity, Gu Lang decided to deliver the rice himself once the kitchen finished cooking.

"I never thought that one day I would be invited to eat with Yan Sui too, hahaha!" (Informal)

Just like his name, Gu Lang had an utmost clear and bright laugh. He walked towards Minguang Residence, only to see a bright and handsome young man sitting inside.

Inside the greenhouse, he saw Meng Ting. His laughter came to an abrupt end, turning into a heart-breaking cough instead. All those days that he spent grooming his hair, all those days that he spent praying for a better face…and yet this kind of beauty also exists in this world. Shouldn't it be banned?

"Cough…"

He made so much movement; Meng ting couldn't help but notice Gu Lang. And on to of that he was also carrying the much awaited egg fried rice.

Meng Ting's eyes brightened up and his nose twitched as he saw the fragrant rice. No other rice that he had come across in his life could compare to the fragrance that this pot gave off.

In addition to being very agile, Meng Ting also had a stronger sensitivity to smell than ordinary people. He can distinguish between many spices simply by their smell, foods that other people need to eat in order to identify, he can recognize by smell.

"Take it." Yan Sui swept his eyes to Gu Lang and mentioned towards Meng Ting.

Hearing Yan Sui speak, Gu Lang put away the look of surprise on his face and handed the box to Meng Ting.

Ah, lots of rice, they brought a lot of egg fried rice. Two days he didn't have anything to eat and this was the delicious meal that he had accumulated. Perhaps this was the so called karma… Meng Ting took small bites, however the speed at which he ate was practically inhuman. His speed became faster and faster, he completely ignored the two men who were staring at him as he ate.

Gu Lang repeatedly signaled to Yan Sui with a wink, however Yan Sui was not looking at him. When he had winked to the point that his eye were about to convulse, Yan Sui finally turned and saw his ridiculous act.

"This is Meng Ting, your future sister-in-law."

Gu Lang was twenty-six this year and Yan Sui was turning twenty-eight. The relationship between these two men was even closer than that of brothers. If Meng Ting marries Yan Sui, at once he would become Gu Lang's sister-in-law.

Gu Lang was stunned as he considered what Yan Sui could have meant by these words. He quiet obviously knew what Yan Sui and his mother's relationship was like. He Wan had done her best to find a bride of utmost uselessness for her son. Gu Lang had grumbled about He Wan's antics countless times to Yan Sui.

However, He Wan was Yan Sui's birth mother. Yan Sui needed also agreed that some matters needed to be held off until both his grandfathers passed away. He can always break off his relationship with his mother later; it was not the right opportunity yet.

Gu Lang once again began to wink his eye at Yan Sui and this time Yan Sui nodded his head in response. Apparently, Yan Sui also agreed.

Yet he still did not understand one thing. This Meng Ting who had been handpicked by He Wan, why didn't Yan Sui dislike him? He had even met with the boy in private and given him food.

Along with the large portion of egg fried rice, Gu Lang had also brought a bowl of Gu broth. Meng Ting had cleaned the rice bowl to the point that not a single grain of rice could be found. With the rice finished, Meng Ting drained the broth. With all the food eaten, he leaned back and placed his hand on his stomach, satisfied.

He raised his head to look at Yan Sui gentle and beautiful face, ignoring the other man in the room. Seeing Yan Sui's exceedingly focused expression, Meng Ting couldn't help but feel his sincerity.

"Thank you."

His wife had been so hungry that he wasn't even able to stop eating until he finished his food, even thank him for the food. Yan Sui couldn't help but think that he had somewhat neglected the young boy before him. Meeting Meng Ting's gaze, he spoke, "I fed you because I ought to. You don't have to thank me."

Hearing this, Meng Ting subconsciously leaned his body forward, and his lips also stretched taut out of his control. His smile was as if a rose was blooming, this beauty was truly shocking to the eyes.

"Yan Sui, you're so good. It's really lucky that I'm able to marry you."

He had always wanted more to eat but his grandmother had never agreed. The people of the Meng household had always acted as if he had lived in luxury, as if he owed them his life just because his father had "graced" his mother. But Yan Sui was different. Yan Sui said that this was the way that things ought to be, Yan Sui understood.

"Cough…" Gu Lang coughed once again. Let alone Yan Sui, even he had never seen such a straightforward beauty. Ah, who could look him in the yes and say that he was a fraud?

Yan Sui's eyes swept over Gu Lang. Though he didn't say anything, Gu Lang understood that he was not wanted in the room. Really, Yan Sui was already dumping him for this new wife.

Gu Lang turned to leave the room. Yan Sui on the other hand had turned beet red around his ears, nevertheless, he was more certain than ever that Meng Ting liked him. Ah, this feeling really wasn't bad.

"Do you have a cellphone?" Yan Sui asked Meng Ting. Meng ting shook his head "no". Thinking of it, it really wasn't strange, considering what he had read in Meng Ting's profile. All of a sudden he felt an uncomfortable bump in his chest. Gulping, he rubbed Meng Ting's lightly curled hair, "Tomorrow I'll have my people bring one to you."

Meng Ting did not immediately nod. His eyes revealed a little bit of reluctance, no longer willing to part with the comfortable hand rubbing his head. "Is this how it ought to be? If you don't have to, then don't. I only want to eat and sleep well."

Meng Ting thought that this was what a waste's life should roughly be like. Eat and sleep well, don't irk the host's ire.

Yan Sui paused, his sharp phoenix eyes turning darker and darker, "Remember, I'm voluntarily giving it to you. It's ok, you don't have to say thank you and you don't have to be afraid."

Meng Ting finally lost the reluctance in his heart. Straightening his back, he looked Yan Sui in the eye with sincerity, "Yan Sui, you're really good."

Meng Ting indeed thought that Yan Sui was really good. In the end he also considered spending the rest of his life with him. Although Meng Ting was slow, he was good enough to be able to tell when a person had good or bad intentions towards him, and Yan Sui was on the good side.

Besides, they are soon going to be husband and wife so they will have to treat each other with sincerity. Yan Sui certainly wouldn't lie to him.

Yan Sui's mood was somewhat wonderful; he himself had not realized the gentle look on his face. Regarding the matter o marriage, he didn't hold any illusions or expectation for his other half, more accurately, he had never so much as thought of the matter.

However, these few "really good" from Meng Ting made him think that perhaps marrying the this cute little wife and bringing him back home wouldn't be so bad.

However, as soon as these soft feelings flew into his head, he pushed them down by force. His past experience told him that no matter who or what he faced, no matter how timid, he must keep his guard up and protect himself first. At the moment, Meng ting was unable to become an exception to this rule of his.

"It's getting late, let's walk back."

The two people walked side by side until they came across a fork in their path. Gu Lang who was waiting for them walked over and Yan Sui also approached him.

"I'll go back, you take Meng Ting inside."

Meng Ting wanted to marry him so badly, so he didn't want an accident to ruin the arrangement. They have met each other in private and they also get along fairly well. If He Wan came to know of this, she would certainly not let them be. Since Gu Lang was a young master of the Gu household, it wouldn't be anything to strange to escort Meng Ting.

Yan Sui had subconsciously been so worried that Meng Ting might be bullied.

Meng Ting was not aware of the twists and turns that Yan Sui was going through, but he looked at Yan Sui, clearly reluctant to part. He pursed his lips and nodded. When Yan Sui's back disappeared from his vision, he finally took back his eyes.

The joy in his expression dispersed and the usual dull look was back on his face once again. Gu Lang thought that this change was brought about due to Yan Sui's departure. So some people actually like that iceberg ah.

"Let's go, the people from the Meng family have been looking for you for a while now."

Meng Ting nodded and followed behind Gu Lang.

Gu Lang led Meng Ting to Feng Ze Jiao. She was currently talking to her son, Meng Zi Hang, and beside him stood a handsome young man.

Meng Ting blinked his eyes, and then bowed his head in greeting. That handsome young man was one of the two youths that he had seen earlier with Yan Sui.

It turns out that they were related.

"Where did you go?" Feng Ze Jiao gave Meng Ting a blaming look, but she stopped short when she saw Gu Lang.

Meng Ting had bowed his head for a long while before Feng Ze Jiao finally talked to him, however he immediately responded, "I fell asleep."

"He fell asleep in the greenhouse. I happened to see him so I brought him back with me."

Gu Lang met Feng Ze Jiao head on, not a single bit of the subservience that he had displayed before Yan Sui was anywhere to be seen. His aura was truly befitting of a real noble son. Sweeping a glance at Meng Ting whose head was still bowing, Gu Lang spoke, "Don't blame him. You guys also left him on his own. Besides, he's at that age where he gets tired easily."

Gu Lang had spoken in defense; naturally Feng Ze Jiao couldn't express the dissatisfaction that was bubbling in her heart. She had looked for him for two hours… how could she want to just let go?

"Of course, thank you for bringing him back Gu biaoge." (Older male cousin on female side)

Gu Lang is indeed Meng Qi' cousin, in fact, the same could also be said for Meng Ting.

Meng Ting's gaze swept past Gu Lang, he raised his head and bowed once again. "Thank you."

This is his future sister-in-law we are talking about here, how could Gu Lang dare to put on the same airs before him? He smiled, "There's no need for that, I'm your biaoge after all. Here, this is my business card, call me if you need anything in the future."

Gu Lang handed Meng Ting a light silver card and he accepted. This time Feng Ze Jiao also saw that Meng Ting wasn't exactly as she thought. As they say, fortune favors the fool. Unexpectedly Gu Lang took a liking to this idiot and even gave him his phone number.

Regarding the circles in Haicheng, Meng Ting would fall into the category of a noble's son. However it wasn't the same as being in league with Gu Lang, the man who was quiet close to Yan Sui.

"Okay." Meng Ting nodded in answer.

Then the four people finally began to exchange greetings, moving off to the side but not leaving the hall. Meng Ting would occasionally overhear his name being mentioned.

"This is your uncle and this is your eldest brother."

Meng Ting lightly raised his head and looked to the people, obediently calling, "Uncle, brother."

Meng Yi Hang was forty five years in age. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the man had maintained his appearance quiet well. His two eyes were like reflection of those of Meng laoyezi's. Looking into them always somehow makes one feel gloomy, something most people can't stand.

Meng Ting reacted somewhat slow. He could feel that this uncle of his didn't like him all that much.

As for Meng Qi, he had been absentminded the entire time. Because of this he had failed to recognize the new illegitimate son who had only just returned to the Meng household two days ago. When Meng Ting lightly raised his head once again to take a look, the older boy was caught off guard by the stunning beauty before him.

Feng Ze Jiao understood Meng Ting's temper, she did not expect any flowery words to flow out of his mouth. She turned to Meng Qi, her expression flashing with kindness, "He's new so there's a lot that he doesn't understand. You have to look after him, alright?"

"Lady Feng, rest assured, I am well aware." Meng Qi coaxed Feng Ze Jiao in few words. Happy with her grandson's response, Feng Ze Jiao begins to forget the 'grievance' that she had suffered by the hands of Meng Ting.

Meng Qi had understood her meaning; he must lead Meng Ting to their side. Shifting his interest to Meng Ting, he found that the boy was absorbed in his own world, his head lowered. If there weren't so many people watching them in the hall, he would have lifted his face to take a good look.

His ex-boyfriend Su Si Yu was also present in the hall. His eyes swept over Meng Qi, the color of his face darkened at what he saw. His heart couldn't help but sneer, but he also became more and more determined to break up with him, cleanly breaking off their relationship.

When the clock ticked ten, one by one people began to leave. As family, the people who came from the Meng family stayed behind till eleven o' clock. Gu lao furen (old madam) and Gu Lang showed them out. As they left, Gu Lang couldn't help but sweep his gaze over Meng Qi, his brows wrinkling. He felt that he should notify Yan Sui of this when he gets back.

This sister-in-law looks a bit stupid. Who knows what kind of people would come to take advantage of him?
