Chapter 119 Love does not require equal return

When Meng Jinyan was pulled back to the bed by a big and a small group of people, he was completely dazed. He kept his head down the whole time and didn't dare to make a sound.

Sitting silently beside the bed, Meng Qi fell asleep and began to urge him in a low voice, "Dad, go take a shower."

Meng Jinyan was embarrassed, "Oh."

Afterwards, he had completely forgotten how he went to the cloakroom to get his pajamas, how he entered the bathroom, and how he came out. He only knew that after lying on the bed, Meng Qi held his hand at the first moment, and then he felt the warmth of another soft hand. When their fingertips touched each other, a strange emotion filled their hearts.

Meng Qiyi didn't understand the thoughts of adults at all and was cheerful the whole time. "Tonight, I am the happiest baby in the world."

Jin Yu always responded to his words.

She kissed his forehead and said softly, "The happiest baby in the world, go to sleep, good night."

Meng Qi kissed her back, "Good night, Mom."

However, he turned around and kissed Meng Jinyan again, "Good night to you too, Dad."

Meng Jinyan smiled at him tenderly, "Good night."

After struggling for so long, Meng Qi was already extremely sleepy.

Soon, he fell asleep.

The two adults thought it would be difficult for them to fall asleep, but after hearing Meng Qi's light breathing, they held each other's hands and soon fell asleep.

Moreover, both of them had the same dream.

A family of three, holding hands, went to the park for a picnic.

Meng Qi was at the age when he loved to run and jump. After arriving at the park, he picked a flower on the left and pulled a grass on the right, having a lot of fun.

The two of them sat comfortably on the tablecloth, watching him tinkering with things left and right with a look of curiosity on their faces.

Soon, Jin Yu woke up from the dream and opened her eyes in a daze. Then, she saw Meng Jinyan's handsome, gentle and non-aggressive face. Seeing this face, she felt very happy.

But soon, her memory returned and her initially rosy face turned pale.

Especially when she realized that she was lying in his arms, holding his arms, the feeling of discomfort became even more severe.

But at this moment, Meng Jinyan opened his eyes and woke up.

Their eyes met, one had just woken up, and the other had a look of pain.

The two of them just looked at each other, and Meng Jinyan understood that her mind was out of control and she began to reject any physical contact from him. Immediately, he quickly moved away.

By the way, turn your face away.

Try your best to prevent her from seeing you.

After not being able to feel his body temperature and see his face, Jin Yu indeed felt much better.

Just when the two were in a particularly complicated mood, Meng Qi's laughter with his hands covering his mouth suddenly came, "Dad, Mom, I took the picture."

Hearing this, the two of them noticed him sitting across from the bed. He was a small guy, smiling with one hand covering his mouth, with the other hand raised, looking extremely happy.

"Dad, Mom, you guys should cuddle and sleep together too."

Jin Yu, "..."

Meng Jinyan, "..."

The two of them were quite embarrassed, but Meng Qisi had no idea what embarrassment was, and kept talking to herself:

"I want to tell my sister Yaya that my dad and mom also hug each other to sleep, and my mom loves my dad too."

Having said that, he jumped out of the door.

Meng Jinyan was afraid that the two of them would be alone in a room. Jin Yu felt very stressed, so she quickly threw off the quilt and stood up first. Then, she tried to speak as quietly as possible, "I'm going to the guest room to wash up. I'll ask Meng Qi to call you for breakfast later."

Just looking at him would make Jin Yu feel great pain in his heart. He did not dare to look up at him, but just nodded slightly.

"good."

After Meng Jinyan left, Jin Yu leaned against the bed, holding her chest with her hands to calm down for a while. The heavy feeling in her heart slowly subsided. She thought that they would have to stay together for a long time from now on. If her condition did not improve...

Well, it would be a kind of harm to him.

She pursed her lips, feeling worried and uneasy.

Ten minutes later, Meng Qi knocked on the door and poked out a cute little head, "Mom, are you okay? It's time for dinner."

Jin Yu came out wearing a light blue long skirt. When Meng Qi saw her long hair and long skirt, he opened his mouth wide and even said "Wow" in a low voice. He found that his mother looked exactly like the mother he imagined in his mind.

So beautiful, so gentle, so pretty...

She was very beautiful. Meng Qi covered her mouth with her little hands, her fair little face was slightly red, and she was a little shy when she spoke.

"Mom, you are so beautiful."

At this moment, Meng Qi was wearing a simple white T-shirt on his upper body. The only noticeable thing was a brightly colored Mickey Mouse on his left chest. On his lower body, he was wearing a pair of five-inch black and white striped pants and a pair of white Crocs on his feet.

Jin Yu bent down, raised her hand and gently touched his little face, praising him tenderly, "Our Ah Xing is also very handsome."

Meng Qi felt even more embarrassed after being praised by him.

He blushed, lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Mom, I put the clothes together myself, and sister Yaya said she liked it very much."

These days, Meng Qi mentioned "Sister Yaya" many times. When Jin Yu led him out of the bedroom, she asked curiously, "A Xing, who is Sister Yaya?"

Speaking of the person he likes, Meng Qi has endless things to say, "Sister Yaya is the baby of Uncle Xiaobai and Aunt Lanlan. Yaya is her nickname, and her full name is Jingbiezhi."

"Mom, Aunt Yunci is sister Yaya's aunt. You have met Aunt Yunci before. Do you remember her?"

Jin Yu nodded, "Yes, Mom knows."

As they walked down the stairs, Meng Qi suggested, "Mom, next time I'll take you to play with sister Yaya. She's super cute."

"I love her so much, she's my best friend."

He was sharing this with her, so Jin Yu agreed without hesitation, "Okay, then take me to visit her next time."

After he led them to the dining room, Wen Chuyue and Aunt Gui were already setting up breakfast. Jinyu was not idle and took the initiative to help, but was stopped, "Ah Jin, just take Xingxing and sit down."

“We can just do these things.”

Almost everything was on the table. Jin Yu couldn't really help. She sat with Meng Qi for a long time, but there was no sign of Meng Jinyan. After hesitating for a while, she took the initiative to ask, "Where is Meng Jinyan? Doesn't he want breakfast?"

Wen Chuyue smiled and poured her a glass of milk.

"The eldest master is still in the room right now. He has told you and Xingxing to have dinner first when you arrive. He will be here soon after he finishes his work there."

Hearing this, Jin Yu nodded slightly to show that she understood. Then, she asked Meng Qi beside her, "A Xing, are you hungry?"

Meng Qi has always had the same eating and sleeping schedule as Meng Jinyan. If Meng Jinyan doesn't come, he won't eat. It has become a habit for him.

After shaking his head, he said, "I'm not hungry."

Jin Yu touched his little face and said, "Then let's wait until Dad is done with his work, and then have breakfast together, okay?"

Meng Qi nodded obediently, "Okay."

Then, taking advantage of this time, he hugged Jinyu's arm and whispered his little secret to her.

"Mom, I peed once and Dad didn't know."

"Mom, I played Happy Match secretly, and Dad didn't know. I played it on his phone, so he didn't know."

"Mom, I secretly ate ice cream at night, and Dad didn't know. It was winter, and Dad didn't know me."

"Mom, I gave a red envelope to sister Yaya. The money was from Dad's wallet. Dad doesn't know."

"Mom, when I miss you, I cry secretly. I lied to Dad that there was something in my eyes, but Dad didn't know."

“…”

He told Jin Yu a lot of things he didn't know.

He said this happily, but Jin Yu's eyes turned red after hearing it. Although it was only a short year and a half, she missed many firsts in his life.

Meng Jinyan, who was standing at the stairs, had tears in his eyes when he heard what he said.

Children are all naive little fools. They think they don't know what they are doing. In fact, they are just following their own thoughts and pretending not to know.

After talking for a long time, Meng Qi felt a little thirsty. Originally, she wanted to get some milk herself, but when she remembered that she also had a mother, she put her little face on her arm and acted coquettishly.

"Mom, can you get me some milk?"

Jin Yu: "Of course."

Not only did she get it for him, she also fed him a few sips herself.

After quenching his thirst, Meng Qi finally remembered Meng Jinyan.

He uttered a puzzled "Huh" and muttered to himself.

"Dad, why are you so late?"

As he was wondering, he tilted his head and saw his big-nosed father standing motionless at the stairs. The next second, he quickly climbed down from the stool.

"Dad! You're late, time to eat!"

As he ran over quickly, Jin Yu's gaze unconsciously shifted to Meng Jinyan. She thought that her heart would ache again when the two looked at each other.

But this time, it wasn't a sudden pain, but a sudden and very fast beat.

Because today, Meng Jinyan has become Meng Siyu again.

Thinking of this, she chewed on the name unconsciously.

Meng - Si - Yu.

In the past, she didn't think there was anything strange about this name, but now it seems that his name is actually a way of missing her.

"Si" is the "si" of missing someone, and "yu" is the "yu" of jinyu.

Missing Jin Yu.

Yesterday, they recognized each other and he faced her with his true face, but after knowing that she would have to endure the pain of bone fracturing, he couldn't bear it, so this morning, he changed back into Meng Siyu.

After realizing what he was thinking, Jin Yu's heart beat even faster. She couldn't hide her excitement.

She just couldn't see the face that belonged to Meng Jinyan, but she would fall in love with him again and again.

It's strange and disjointed, but it's the truth.

After Meng Jinyan appeared, the maids who were cleaning the hall at first all left quietly.

Now is the best time for the relationship between the eldest young master and the eldest young mistress to warm up. It is enough to have Meng Qi as a catalyst. They should not act as walking light bulbs that make them uncomfortable.

The family of three started to eat neatly.

Meng Jinyan knew what she looked like now, and Jin Yu would not reject her, so she took the initiative to greet her, "Good morning."

Jin Yu smiled and replied, "Good morning."

He made himself look ugly again for her sake. Jin Yu was touched and took the initiative to put a blueberry cheese bagel on his plate.

After picking up the food, she did not dare to look at him. She lowered her head and began to chew slowly. Meng Jinyan looked at the extra things on the plate and was stunned for a long time.

This kind of scene happened many times during her pregnancy, but it had not happened again in the nearly two years since she disappeared after giving birth. Afterwards, he almost choked up while eating the bagel, with so many mixed feelings in his heart that he couldn't taste it.

Meng Qi saw all the secret little actions between the two. Seeing Meng Jinyan's red eyes, he coaxed her in his unique baby voice, "Dad, Mommy loves you."

"Love you more, I'll give you something to hold."

Jin Yu thought he was jealous, so she quickly gave him a piece of seaweed omelet, "A Xing, do you like this?"

Meng Qi blinked and said, "This is what Dad likes to eat."

Jin Yu was embarrassed, "..."

Meng Qi held up her little face and said with a smile, "Mom, I like to eat eggs, love fried eggs, but I don't like to eat seaweed."

Jin Yu continued to feel embarrassed. Her son followed his lead, but she also didn't eat seaweed. This made her not know what to do for a moment. Fortunately, Meng Jinyan was considerate and the man held out his plate.

She said softly, "Give it to me, I'll eat it."

His timely response quickly eased Jin Yu's embarrassment. When she put the things on his plate, Meng Jinyan saw Meng Qi winking at him.

The little brat didn't know how to blink very well. Other people could only blink with one eye, but he could only blink both eyes wildly.

It's quite cute.

He curled his lower lip towards him and thought: I'll give you credit for this first. When you grow up and want to chase a wife, dad will help you too!

Even though the mother and son took their time eating, they still finished their breakfast after more than an hour.

In fact, after dinner, Meng Jinyan could no longer find a reason to stay with Jin Yu. He was also afraid that she would feel uncomfortable staying with him, so he took the initiative to find a reason to leave.

After he left, Jin Yu accompanied Meng Qi to paint for a while, and then enjoyed him playing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

They had been indoors for a long time. Later, Jin Yu saw that the weather outside was good, so he took the initiative to invite Wen Chuyue to go out for a walk with them. After they went out, Meng Qi naturally ran and jumped everywhere, either touching the dogs and cats, or chatting with the maid who watered the flowers. Jin Yu's eyes never left him.

But some of the questions were directed to Wen Chuyue, "Chuyue, can you tell me about me and Meng Jinyan?"

She was the couple's favorite. She didn't have to think too much about what happened to them that year. She just said, "Ah Jin, you and the young master got pregnant before you got married."

"Back then, you and the eldest young master got pregnant with Xingxing by accident. At that time, you were still planning to give up the child. It was the old lady who came forward to persuade you and offered to help you pay for your grandmother and brother's medical expenses. Only then did you agree to give birth to the child."

"At that time, you and the young master had no emotional foundation. You were together because of a contract."

After hearing this, Jin Yu found it incredible.

"A contract?"

Wen Chuyue nodded, "Yes, the eldest master has always been resistant to marriage because of his parents, and you, because of the accidental death of your parents, your grandmother and brother lying in bed, you are extremely short of money, so you agreed to the cooperation proposed by the old lady. She is willing to pay for the treatment of your grandmother and brother, but you have to give birth to the baby in your belly. After a year of getting along, if you and the eldest master fall in love, then the contract will be invalid. If you still insist on leaving, then she will agree to let you go."

Jin Yu, "We started because of the contract, so how did we get along with each other afterwards?"

Wen Chuyue, "In the beginning, you were just a partner to the young master. You were somewhat afraid of him, and he was quite cold to you. But even so, I could still see that he was unconsciously attracted to your uniqueness. Moreover, the old lady deliberately brought you two together. Even if you didn't have feelings for each other at first, you slowly developed feelings for each other later."

"Before, most of the kissing photos that Master Ji showed you were taken by Gu Feng and me at the request of the old lady. For the sake of the child, you and Master Ji were quite cooperative. Maybe as you kissed, you began to take each other seriously."

"The following are some of the things you experienced together. Ah Jin, you may not remember, but when your mother passed away, she specifically told you to find your biological father. It was difficult for you to find him alone, so the young master secretly helped you find him. During this period, your vicious uncle's family caused trouble, and it was the young master who helped you deal with them. It was also the young master who helped you get the dowry left by your mother. Later, through these dowries, you learned about the existence of Jinggu Tea House, which was a very important clue to find your biological father, but it was maliciously purchased by Lu Chenzhou."

"He didn't want you to find your biological father, so he became the largest shareholder and had all the say. He changed the teahouse's business model and appearance, which cut off your clues to finding your biological father. Later, the eldest master secretly built an identical teahouse opposite the original one. However, the project took too long. It was not completed until a month after you gave birth to Xingxing. By that time, you had already agreed to make a deal with Lu Chenzhou."

Hearing this, Jin Yu's heart trembled, and a bad premonition came to his mind, "Make a deal? What kind of deal should I make with him?"

"When you were about to reach the second trimester of your pregnancy, the eldest master was away on a business trip and was tricked by Lu Chenzhou. He was poisoned with a kind of black poison. If he didn't take the antidote within a certain time, he would die. At that time, you and the eldest master had already communicated with each other. How could you bear to let him die? But at that time, none of us knew that it was Lu Chenzhou who poisoned the eldest master. It was not until later that Lu Chenzhou revealed his true colors that we realized it was him. But he was so good at escaping that the police tried their best but couldn't find him. Young Master Jing and Miss Jing also took the risk to sneak in, but they didn't get anything good. They always came back with injuries."

"Before the baby was born, you were pregnant and couldn't move around, and Lu Chenzhou refused to communicate with you. It was only when you were in the late stages of pregnancy, the baby was about to be born, and the young master's body was about to be exhausted, that Lu Chenzhou replied to your message. He wanted you to divorce the young master and go with him, so that he would give the young master the antidote."

"At that time, you discussed this matter with Master Jian and took the risk without telling Master Da. However, this risk did catch those people behind Hei Ku."

"But you have been missing for a year and a half. During this year and a half, the young master never stopped looking for you, and he did not become depressed because of it. Look, Xingxing has been well taken care of by him."

Looking at Meng Qi who was skipping towards her with a small flower in his hand, Jin Yu's eyes became hot and she couldn't control her emotions anymore.

“Is his personality very different now than before?”

Wen Chuyue hugged her gently, "Ah Jin, don't be too sad. We will all grow up. The young master is indeed more mature and gentle now..."

Mature. Gentle.

These two words seem to be very good, but Jin Yu knows that it is after experiencing pain that a person's state of mind changes, so they become more mature and gentle.

During this year and a half, he must have had a lot of things hidden in his heart. He must have been in a lot of pain, but he probably couldn't find an outlet to vent.

He is not only her husband, but also Meng Qi's father.

She has disappeared, so he will be both a father and a mother in Meng Qi's life, and he will give Meng Qi double the love.

She could even imagine how difficult it was for him to be alone in the past year and a half.

After wiping away her tears and half squatting down, Jin Yu took the pink rose from Meng Qi's hand and whispered, "Shall we go find Dad later?"

Although she had wiped away her tears, her eyelids were still red. Meng Qi kissed her distressedly, then imitated her and touched her head, "Mom, don't be sad."

"When you are sad, my heart will ache."

His soft words melted Jin Yu's heart. Soon, tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged him tightly and replied with a trembling voice, "Okay... Mom, I promise you."

Meng Qi continued to pat her back gently.

"Be good, Mom. I'll take you to find Dad."

At the same time, Meng Qi and Meng Jinyan had a big argument in the study, "Brother, I think you are crazy!"

Meng Jinyan said calmly, "I'm not crazy."

"You're about to have plastic surgery, and you still dare to say you're not crazy?"

Hearing this, Meng Jinyan raised his eyelids and glanced at him calmly, but his words were extremely serious.

"Xiao Ji, she can't bear to see my face like this. Once she sees my face like this, her heart will not be able to bear it, and her whole body will be in pain. If this goes on for a long time, her body will not be able to bear it."

Meng Yi knew that this was the fact.

But he still didn't want to see him make a fool of himself, "Brother, how do you know that after you change your face, your sister-in-law will fall in love with you again? If the plastic surgery fails, how will you get along with her?"

"Brother, what are you trying to do? Are we trying to believe that Jing Yunci is not good? Her experiment has a 50% chance of making sister-in-law's previous memory return. We also believe that sister-in-law is good. We have some confidence in them, okay?"

However, his words did not change Meng Jinyan's mind. He looked at the building block box on the table, and his thoughts went back to his birthday two years ago.

Then, the corners of his mouth rose quietly, "Xiao Ji, love does not need equal return. Once feelings seek return, it is no longer love."
