Meng Tian's throat tightened, and he instinctively hugged Xu Ying even tighter.
In the dead of night, he would always dream of Xu Ying, and there would even be various scenes that were not suitable for children. When he woke up, he felt even more empty.
She no longer belongs to him.
And now, she is in his arms.
Meng Tian swore he would never let go again.
They've already missed ten years; they can't afford to waste any more time, or he'll die with regrets.
Xu Ying felt Meng Tian's tight embrace, and realizing what was happening, she tried to break free from his arms.
She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. She had actually become infatuated with Meng Tian in his arms, and she even felt a little nostalgic and attached to this embrace.
Meng Tian naturally didn't let go, and the two were secretly competing with each other.
Jiang Wanning took a step back, put her hands behind her back as if she had accomplished something momentous, and said with pride, "Auntie, Teacher Meng, you are both people I like. You two had some misunderstandings in the past, can you clear them up? Teacher Meng, you know, if you really wronged my auntie, my husband, my family, and my husband's family are all very powerful! They will definitely not let you off the hook. Of course, I am also very powerful, I am super strong, and I will deal with you too."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and then, imitating Jiang Wanning, they turned around in unison, avoiding looking at Xu Ying and Meng Tian, and each made an excuse to leave.
Jiang Wanning stepped back, staggered, and fell backward, but instead of falling, she fell into Fu Chenyuan's arms.
Surrounded by the familiar scent, Jiang Wanning smiled sweetly: "Honey, I love you."
These words successfully broke Fu Chenyuan's defenses. He picked the person up and carried them to their courtyard in the manor, the Resting Moon Residence.

Whether it was Xia Rushan and the others, or the band, they all left at once, disappearing completely.
At this moment, only the two of them remained on the lawn of the manor.
Meng Tian still held Xu Ying tightly.
Seeing that no one was around, Xu Ying finally stopped holding back.
Her voice was icy: "Aren't you going to let go of me? How long are you going to hold me like this?"
Meng Tian's voice was low and somewhat hoarse: "It's been ten years, and I've finally held you in my arms again. I don't want to let go, I want to hold you until the end of time, A-Ying, do you agree? Even if you don't agree, I still want to hold you. I even thought about just kidnapping you and taking you abroad, locking you up, so that you can't go anywhere and can only stay with me for the rest of your life."
Xu Ying bent her elbow, preparing to strike Meng Tian in the abdomen, when she heard Meng Tian murmur again, "But I can't bear to. I can't just lock you up to satisfy my own desires and ignore your feelings. Xiao Ying, even if I'm sentenced to death, you have to let me die knowing why!"
His voice sounded like he was in great pain.
After all that commotion, Xu Ying finally calmed down.
She said calmly, "Let me go. I'll tell you the truth, and I'll let you die knowing why."
Seeing that Xu Ying was willing to communicate, Meng Tian finally let go of her.
Xu Ying looked at Meng Tian: "Come back with me, I have something to show you."
"good."
Both of them had been drinking, so the driver took them home.
They sat in the back seat of the car, ignoring each other, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Xu Ying knew that Meng Tian had been watching her, which made her a little angry.
In front of Jiang Wanning, Xu Ying was a gentle and patient aunt, but now, Xu Ying had a fiery temper that could ignite at the slightest provocation.
"Look at me again and I'll gouge your eyes out, you think?"
Meng Tian laughed: "I know you won't. If you really want my eyes, I'll give them to you. Xiao Ying, it's been so long since I've seen you. My eyes have their own will and are really out of my control."
The soft, lingering sounds, just like before, pulled Xu Ying back into her past memories.
"Xiaoying, look! I can fry an egg now!"
"Xiaoying, look! I can make braised pork ribs now. Try it!"
"Xiaoying, I sold this painting. I'll cook you something delicious."
"Xiaoying, I love you. Mengtian loves Xiaoying, forever and ever."
Or perhaps, he simply liked to call her by her name: "Xiaoying, Xiaoying, Xiaoying..."
Sometimes she would yell back, "Call me back, call me back! Call me back my soul!"
He came over and kissed her, laughing, "Yes, I was calling Xiaoying's soul back. Now, Xiaoying, your soul belongs to me..."
Xu Ying's heart softened just a moment ago, but when she thought of the photos that had been sent to her year after year, her heart hardened again.
The car stopped in front of Xu Ying's residence.
Looking at the bougainvillea peeking out, Meng Tian felt a lump in his throat.
Xu Ying had said before, "Meng Tian, have you thought about what our house will be like in the future?"
Meng Tian replied, "There's a house with Xiao Ying."
No matter how Xu Ying asked, Meng Tian's answer was always the same.
If you ask now, Meng Tian's answer will still be the same.
Because a home is only a home if Xu Ying is there.
He didn't care what kind of house it was; all he cared about was Xu Ying.
With Xu Ying around, he would be willing to live in a thatched hut.
Xu Ying said, "Then let's live in a separate courtyard. Preferably a three-story house. With a courtyard, bougainvillea can grow all over the walls."
Xu Ying now lives in a house like this, but he is not here.
Xu Ying opened the door and didn't let Meng Tian go upstairs, but told him to wait in the yard.
She quickly went downstairs and carried a box down with her.
The box wasn't big, about the size of an A4 sheet of paper.
She handed the item over, and Meng Tian took it but didn't open it. Instead, he asked Xu Ying, "What is this?"
Xu Ying sneered: "You'll know once you open it."
Meng Tian opened it and found a stack of photos inside.
He sat down and opened the photo to look at it.
The photo shows a little boy from age 0 to 12.
Flipping through the photos is like witnessing this little boy grow up.
The little boy looked very familiar.
As Meng Tian looked at it, he suddenly realized: "Xiao Ying, is this your child? You have a child? Who did you have the child with?"
He looked hurt and shocked; his hands were trembling as he held the photos.
Xu Ying was taken aback by what she heard. She was so surprised that she couldn't find the words to answer Meng Tian for a moment.
However, Meng Tian quickly drew a conclusion. His smile was tinged with bitterness, yet also filled with joy and delight: "So this is why you didn't want to accept me? You were pregnant before I left? You had a child? Or is this child someone else's? It doesn't matter, even if it's someone else's, it doesn't matter. I like this child as soon as I saw it. So, it's okay, let's raise it together. Xiaoying, let's get married and raise this child together. Where is the child? Will you take me to see him?"
Xu Ying's eyes widened in shock, even unusual anger: "Meng Tian! Even now, you're still pretending? Look at the envelope, where did it come from? It's international mail, from your country! What do you mean 'my child'! You clearly had a child with another woman! This child is yours! Your little lover sent it to me!"
