Tang Yue clasped his hands and said, "Si Yu, this is not your fault. If I were in your situation, I would hesitate and feel at a loss too." "Si Yu." When Mo Xiaolin came out, she saw Tang Yue and Mo Siyu standing in the hall. Mo Xiaolin felt a bit uneasy and asked, "Si Yu, there's still food, do you..." "I've eaten already." Mo Siyu replied with a smile, feeling Mo Xiaolin's unease, he said, "Mom, can I talk with..." Mo Siyu paused for a moment, and said, "Can I talk with him?" "Sure." Meng Jin agreed without hesitation. "This is fine." Mo Siyu sat down with Tang Yue's hand in his, as there was nothing they couldn't hear. Meng Jin naturally took Mo Xiaolin's hand and sat down. He smiled at Mo Xiaolin for a moment, then his gaze landed on Mo Siyu's face. His smile faded as he said, "I am your father. Even though I didn't know of your existence, I can't deny that I haven't fulfilled my duty to raise you." Mo Siyu was silent for a long while before saying, "Since I can remember, from the age of six, there were many people around Mom who wanted to marry her. There were also those who, seeing that my mom was alone, wanted to take advantage of her." He paused, then continued, "Once, there was a man—I don't remember his name—who said something about my mom... then, little six-year-old me, I bit his ear." Even though he described it lightly, the meaning behind it was crystal clear. Even when he mentioned biting the man's ear, Tang Yue felt an inexplicable pang of heartache. Her own mother was bullied, and such a little boy, in an act of resistance, had bitten someone's ear. Even though she had not experienced it personally, Tang Yue felt a chilling sensation down her spine. She always thought it was pitiful enough that she had no father in her childhood, at least she had Mr. Tang to protect her and ensure she grew up safe. But what about Mo Siyu? He had no one to rely on. Tang Yue set aside her shyness, tightly holding Mo Siyu's hand, as if doing so could give him strength. "Si Yu." Mo Xiaolin seemed to remember that moment, her originally happy face instantly replaced by heartache, she had forgotten many of the things he mentioned. "I want to hear it." Meng Jin suddenly stood up and said, "Let's talk in the room." In front of Mo Xiaolin, it made Meng Jin feel as if he was laying bare her past pains all over again. Mo Siyu did not object and followed Meng Jin into the room. "Mom, if anyone bullies you in the future, I'll bully them back." Tang Yue sat down next to Mo Xiaolin. Mo Xiaolin's many years of maintaining her integrity and the hardship of raising Mo Siyu all by herself, it was no wonder she never heard of Mo Siyu having a real father in her previous life. Presumably, Mrs. Mo's death in the previous life must have been a huge blow to Mo Siyu. Even if they had found Meng Jin in the previous life, it was likely that Mo Siyu wouldn't acknowledge him, right? "Pfft~" Mo Xiaolin couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Xiao Yue, as long as you're doing well, Mom will be at ease." Half an hour later, Meng Jin and Mo Siyu came out, Meng Jin's eyes were slightly red, and as soon as he came out, he stood in front of Mo Xiaolin to apologize. "Xiaolin, if I had found you earlier, you wouldn't have had to... suffer so much." Meng Jin, a man who wouldn't cry even if he bled, at this moment, his eyes were brimming with tears. Mo Siyu had spoken of things he was unaware of, while also deepening the guilt he felt toward Mo Xiaolin. "No, Brother Jin, it's not your fault." Mo Xiaolin, holding his hand, said, "All those things are in the past. Look, I'm alright now, aren't I?" "Tomorrow, we'll go get a marriage certificate." Meng Jin suddenly spoke, it was something he had long thought about. Their marriage had been in a hurry, officiated by a teacher, with everyone as witnesses, but they never got a marriage certificate. In that era, once the wedding banquet was held, it was considered a marriage. Many of the older generation had never even seen a marriage certificate. Back then, Mo Xiaolin didn't have her identification with her in Jin City, so the two of them agreed that they would take care of the marriage certificate when they returned, but who would have thought... it would just get indefinitely put off. The topic had changed too quickly, and Mo Xiaolin felt like she was struggling to keep up with Meng Jin's pace. Meng Jin said, "Back then we didn't get a marriage certificate, and now that we've finally been reunited, it's the perfect time to make it official." In reality, Meng Jin feared that Mo Xiaolin would disappear again. "Cough." Mo Siyu cleared his throat, interrupting their sweet moment. "Mom, I don't mind you two getting a marriage certificate, however..." Mo Siyu paused and said, "I suggest that we don't make our relationship public for now."

Meng Jin couldn't wait to announce it to the world with a loudspeaker, yet Mo Siyu was now asking him to keep it a secret. "My company is just starting out. After going public, no matter how well my company does, what do you think people will say?" Mo Siyu glanced at him and said, "Even if I don't rely on your connections, it won't stop people who want to curry favor with you." Meng Yanzhi was utterly useless in the company, yet there were still many who tried to ingratiate themselves with him in the past. And Meng Yanzhi was just an adopted son. He, as the biological son whom Meng Jin favored, how could he rely on his own abilities then? Who knows if all his years of hard work would be dismissed just because he was Meng Jin's son and thus people might think success came easily to him, as a member of the Meng family. Mo Siyu felt frustrated. It was all his effort, his hard-earned success, but if he were to acknowledge the Meng family now, then all his years of hard work would be set aside. "Si Yu, even if we disclose it later, people will talk regardless." Meng Jin said earnestly. Meng Jin wanted to persuade him; he couldn't wait for the whole world to know he had found his wife back, and it was also hard for him to keep it a secret. Who could understand the excitement and joy he was feeling? "There's no room for negotiation on this matter," Mo Siyu said firmly. "This..." Meng Jin looked at the resolute Mo Siyu, seeking help from Mo Xiaolin. Mo Xiaolin said, "I think both are fine, but Si Yu didn't have it easy creating his current company, so let's not let external factors affect it." As expected, between her son and Meng Jin, Mo Xiaolin sided with her son. Even Tang Yue sided with Mo Siyu. "Also, we won't mention it to Mr. Meng for now," Mo Sishou added. "Alright." Meng Jin agreed. Mr. Meng had been distraught over Meng Yanzhi's imprisonment and had been staying in the hospital for a long time. It was better not to tell him such exciting news for now. If Mr. Meng got overly agitated because of it and something happened, that would not be good.
