Part 2
Yan Sui looked at Yu Li, scratching the back of his head.
“Yeah, he doesn’t come back very often.”
Yu Li had thought he was referring to the past two months.
In the past two months, of course Yan Shiting didn’t come back much, because he basically lived in Wan Ting.
After Yu Li moved in, Yan Shiting had even less left Wan Ting.
However, looking at Yu Li, Yan Sui was a little puzzled in his heart.
His brother had not come back to the villa much in the past two years, at most three times a month.
But every time his good friend Yu Li came, his brother would come back.
How auspicious.
Yan Sui shook his head and brought the bucket and Yu Li back to the villa.
The nanny boiled the three palm-sized crucian carps into a soup, the milky white soup looked very nutritious.
Yu Li no longer has morning sickness now.
The crucian carp soup tasted good, without any fishy taste, he quite liked it.
After finishing a bowl, as he put down the bowl, he still had a lingering appetite.
The next moment, Yan Shiting casually took his bowl and poured him another bowl of soup.
Yu Li was startled, quickly turning his head to look at Yan Sui.
Yan Sui was staring blankly at him.
Yu Li’s heart jolted.
At Wan Ting, whenever he finished the dish in his bowl, Yan Shiting would serve him another dish, he had basically gotten used to it over this period.
But now, in front of Yan Sui…
Would Yan Sui become suspicious?
While Yu Li was feeling anxious, he saw Yan Shiting take the bowl Yan Sui was holding and pour soup for Yan Sui as well.
Yan Sui first widened his eyes, then opened his mouth wide, seemingly letting out an “oh” sound, performing the epiphany perfectly.
The crucian carp soup was closest to his brother, what was wrong with his brother pouring soup for his two younger brothers?
His brother was so good.
Yan Sui took the bowl of soup and happily started drinking.
Completely unaware of Yu Li’s previous fearful gaze.
Seeing that Yan Sui didn’t have any suspicion, Yu Li secretly let out a sigh of relief.
He looked up, but found Yan Shiting quietly observing him.
That gaze seemed to be saying: Are you relieved now?
Yu Li lowered his head and took a sip of the soup, his ears turning a little red.
–
After dinner, under Yu Li’s urging gaze, Yan Shiting said in a low voice, “Yan Sui, come to my study, I have something to talk to you about.”
This was what he and Yu Li had agreed on, taking this opportunity to tell Yan Sui the truth about their parents’ passing.
Yan Sui was stunned, quickly going through his mind to see if he had made any mistakes recently.
Finally, his gaze focused, and he stood up and said, “Okay, brother.”
He then went upstairs first.
Downstairs, Yu Li held Yan Shiting’s hand, his gaze encouraging, “Brother, good luck.”
Yan Shiting looked at him solemnly.
After a long while, he nodded.
Arriving in the small study, as soon as he closed the door, the seated Yan Sui hurriedly stood up.
Yan Shiting walked to the desk behind, “Sit down.”
Yan Sui nodded and slowly sat down.
This was the first time in so many years that the two brothers sat face to face, having a serious conversation.
Yan Shiting looked at the Yan Sui across from him.
The child who had clung to him and cried loudly, saying he wanted his father and mother to come back to life, had now grown almost as tall as him.
Sixteen years had passed, his changes were great.
Only those eyes were as simple as ever.
Yan Shiting had never thought about telling Yan Sui the cause of their parents’ death and Grandmother’s favoritism.
He didn’t want to shatter the image of Grandmother in Yan Sui’s heart. If possible, it would be better for Yan Sui to live on so simply.
But Yu Li was also right, Yan Sui had the right to know.
Yan Shiting lowered his gaze.
The small study was silent for a moment.
Yan Sui quietly glanced at the silent Yan Shiting a few times, then placed a contract in front of him.
“Brother, take a look at this.”
Yan Shiting came back to his senses and looked at the contract on the desk.
It was a share transfer agreement.
Yan Sui was transferring all of his 32% shares in the Yan Group to his brother, Yan Shiting.
Yan Shiting’s expression was unusually startled, he looked up at Yan Sui, “What’s the meaning of this?”
Yan Sui smiled and scratched his head, “I’m not cut out for managing the company, these many shares are useless for me to hold, it’s better to give them all to you, to ensure you have more say in the company.”
This was the solution he came up with in the hospital corridor after visiting Grandmother Yan that day.
Grandmother could give him the shares, so he could just give all the shares to his brother, after all, they were family.
He didn’t want to put Yan Shiting in a difficult position.
Yan Shiting’s mouth tightened, quietly looking at Yan Sui.
After a long time, he pushed the agreement back to Yan Sui, “Keep it yourself, your brother is not that incompetent.”
To ensure he had more say in the Yan Group, he had made countless efforts long ago.
Yan Sui was stunned, “Brother?”
“Yan Sui,” Yan Shiting said slowly, “When I took over the Yan Group, there were many problems.”
This was the first time he had explained something to Yan Sui.
“Many shareholders were eager to sell their shares, so I took the opportunity to acquire them.”
“To this day, the shares under my name have already reached sixty percent.”
Grandmother Yan didn’t understand the company’s affairs, even though she had 16% of the shares, she had never attended a shareholders’ meeting, so she didn’t know about the changes in his shareholdings.
And after Yan Sui came of age, he was also unwilling to get involved in the company’s affairs, so he naturally didn’t know either.
After hearing Yan Shiting’s words, Yan Sui was amazed, his mouth gaping wider and wider.
“So…”
So, even if Grandmother Yan gave him all the shares, he didn’t have to worry about his shares being more than his brother’s.
The heavy stone that had been weighing on his mind all this time suddenly lifted.
Yan Sui was a little dazed, as if he was still in a dream.
Looking at the dazed Yan Sui, Yan Shiting repeated, “Keep it yourself.”
Then he frowned slightly and said, “Next, I have to tell you something.”
…
At ten o’clock in the evening, the door to the small study opened.
Yan Shiting walked out, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Yu Li and Butler He standing in the corridor.
He paused the hand on the doorknob, then closed the door and walked up to Yu Li.
Yu Li’s gaze was a little worried, and after Yan Shiting approached, he instinctively reached out and held him.
“Brother…”
At the side, Butler He’s eyes widened slightly as he looked at the two.
Then he smiled, adjusted his glasses, and quietly left, not wanting to disturb them here.
Neither of them noticed Butler He’s actions.
Yan Shiting looked at the door to the small study and led Yu Li back to his room.
As he closed the door, he said, “I’ve already told him, he needs some time to digest it.”
Yu Li slowly let out a sigh of relief.
“That’s good.”
He paused for a moment, then asked, “And have the conflicts between you two been resolved?”
Yan Shiting nodded.
Yu Li smiled, about to say something, but suddenly realized that he was now in Yan Shiting’s room on the third floor of the villa.
The decoration in this room was quite different from the extreme simplicity of Wan Ting, with full furnishings and even some luxurious decorations.
Yu Li casually looked around, then withdrew his gaze and said, “Brother, I’ll go back to my room, otherwise…”
Yan Shiting softly interrupted him, his gaze containing some complex emotions, “Worried that Yan Sui will find out?”
Yu Li didn’t notice the strangeness in his tone and nodded, “Yes, it’s not easy to explain to him.”
He pointed to his abdomen, “Getting married doesn’t need much explanation, but the child…”
The emotions in Yan Shiting’s eyes gradually dissipated.
He said, “Tomorrow I’ll call you to get up, and we’ll go downstairs together, Yan Sui won’t notice.”
Yu Li still felt a little worried.
Yan Shiting leaned in and wrapped the slightly shorter Yu Li entirely in his arms, whispering, “Come take a look at the night view.”
In this period of time, looking at the night view had become a special signal between the two.
Wanting to accompany you, wanting to stay with you a little longer.
Yu Li’s heart softened, and he nodded with reddened ears.
In Yan Shiting’s room, there was a large double sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window.
After turning off the lights in the room, the scenery of the garden and the swimming pool could be seen clearly.
Yu Li leaned against the sofa backrest and told Yan Shiting about his childhood.
Perhaps because he knew about Yan Shiting’s past, he also wanted to confide a little more.
He had come to understand Yan Shiting’s past, and Yan Shiting also knew the specific situation of his family.
They were no longer strangers.
“I’m about the same as you, when I was little, my father and mother were actually very busy too, so my sister was also one I helped raise.”
Perhaps it was because they were both “older brothers”, that at first glance of Yan Shiting and Yan Sui, Yu Li could see that this usually cold-faced brother was very caring towards his younger brother.
As he talked, Yu Li gradually leaned his head and fell asleep.
Yan Shiting looked at the reflection of him and Yu Li on the floor-to-ceiling window.
In the past sixteen years, no one was willing to, or dared to carefully observe his emotions, and when he was sad, walk up to him.
Yu Li was the first one.
At that time, Yu Li didn’t even have much contact with him, he was just “Yan Sui’s brother.”
Yan Shiting slowly withdrew his gaze.
He lifted the sleeping Yu Li in his arms and gently placed him on the bed.
The movements were very gentle, yet Yu Li still trembled his eyelashes and opened his eyes.
“Brother,” he called softly.
Yan Shiting looked at him, but found his eyes were hazy, clearly not fully conscious.
Yu Li looked at the handsome face close to him, not forgetting to remind, “Remember to call me tomorrow morning, we’ll go downstairs together.”
Yan Shiting hummed in agreement.
He raised his hand, caressing Yu Li’s face, his thumb following the cheek, falling to the ruddy lips, gently stroking.
The drowsy Yu Li heard Yan Shiting’s low voice, “Is this okay?”
His mind was not very clear, his eyes half-closed, he softly hummed in agreement.
Along with the nasal sound, there was also Yan Shiting’s slightly cool lips.
