Chapter 557 A Win-Win Negotiation
The next morning, Lei Nian went downstairs to have breakfast and saw Meng Ke sitting in the living room.
He was so happy that he rushed over and hugged Meng Ke's neck: "Cousin, you are here to see Nian Nian!"
The soft and cute words penetrated into Meng Ke's heart, but the name was a little hurtful. She glared at Lei Yan who was sitting diagonally across from her before carrying her son to have breakfast.
It was the first time that the mother and son sat together to have breakfast. Lei Nian was so excited that he even forgot about his father.
Ouyang Kong fed Meng Ke breakfast, and Meng Ke fed his newly found son breakfast. Lei Nian was very happy. This was the most delicious breakfast he had ever eaten.
"Dad, I want to live in the Insect Sea Star Region with my cousin's wife, just like Yangyang."
This way I can have breakfast with my cousin’s wife every day. It makes me happy just thinking about it.
In fact, Lei Nian was just acting coquettishly, knowing that his father would never agree.
Unexpectedly, Lei Yan froze for a moment, then softly said, "Okay!"
Only he himself knows the bitterness of it.
He only had Lei Nian, which was his only luxury in this life, but he didn't expect that happiness would be so short-lived.
Lei Nian thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked again, and the answer was still "OK".
He lost his composure now. He jumped off the stool and ran to his father and asked, "Dad, are you angry that I'm having dinner with my cousin's wife today?"
"no!"
Lei Yan lowered his head and didn't look at him, for he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his tears.
Lei Nian was very smart. He sensed his father's distress and rushed over to hug him tightly: "Dad, don't be sad. Dad will always be the most important person to Nian Nian. Nian Nian will always love Dad!"
Lei Yan collapsed in an instant, hugging his son and unable to hold back his tears.
"sorry!"
He whispered that it was his selfishness that caused the child to grow up without a mother.
It was also his selfishness that caused Meng Ke to meet his son without recognizing him.
It's all his fault!
Lei Nian imitated his father's previous actions and patted his back gently.
"I'll have breakfast with Dad from now on. Dad won't be angry anymore, okay?"
Lei Yan felt even more ashamed at his son's warmth. After a long while, he finally composed himself. He secretly wiped away his tears from an angle where his son couldn't see, then touched his head and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Actually, no, but Lei Nian didn't want his father to worry, so he nodded vigorously: "I'm done eating."
Lei Yan was preoccupied with something and didn't pay attention to how his son was eating. When he heard him say he had finished eating, he stood up and picked him up. When he looked at Meng Ke again, his eyes were four parts guilt, three parts pain, and three parts reluctance.
"Let's go!"
He mustered up the courage to say these two words, then walked out with stiff legs. When he turned around, his legs hit the chair, making a loud noise, but he didn't even notice.
Lei Nian was frightened by the sound. Tears welled up in his eyes and he apologized cautiously: "Dad, I was wrong. Please punish me!"
This is how my friend is. After making his father angry, he won’t be angry anymore as long as his father punishes him.
Lei Nian knew from the sound that his father's leg had hit the chair, but his father didn't react at all. Lei Nian felt both distressed and scared.
Ouyang Kong stepped forward and blocked Lei Yan's way: "Why don't you look down? Lei Nian is frightened by you."
It took Lei Yan a while to realize what Ouyang Kong meant. He lowered his head in panic and saw his son crying.
"Near!"
Lei Yan just felt heartbroken. He... he scared his son and made him cry. It was all his fault. He obviously couldn't take good care of his son and didn't let his son recognize his mother. It was all his fault!
Ouyang Kong and Meng Ke looked at each other, and the next second, Ouyang Kong carried Lei Nian away and walked out regardless of Lei Nian's struggle.
Meng Ke suppressed her emotions and pulled Lei Yan into the flower hall.
Perhaps it was the alluring fragrance of the flowers that helped Lei Yan's mood gradually stabilize.
When Meng Ke let go of his hand, he lowered his head and pinched his fingers, like a child ready to be scolded.
"How are you going to deal with Lei Nian's matter?"
The past has happened, but the future can be changed. She wants to see whether Lei Yan’s future plans can satisfy her.
Lei Yan's height of 1.95 meters was shrinking to less than 1.8 meters. He waited for a long time and finally said, "I'm sorry!"
"So you want to resolve everything with an apology and continue living with Lei Nian?"
"no!"
Lei Yan immediately shook his head in rebuttal.
Meng Ke sat down on the floral chair next to her and waited quietly for Lei Yan to continue.
But Lei Yan obviously hadn't thought about what to do after the matter was exposed. He stood there confused and helpless. If you didn't know, you would think Meng Ke was the bully.
"I want to take Lei Nian away."
Since Lei Yan didn't say anything, she said it.
Lei Yan suddenly looked up, his eyes full of despair.
Meng Ke's eyes were frighteningly cold. She would not give in even a little when it came to the child: "I will tell him everything without reservation. Whether he accepts me or not, he must live by my side."
Lei Yan's heart ached to the point of numbness. He pleaded in a humble tone, "If Nian Nian doesn't want to go to the Insect Sea Star Region, can you please leave him on the main planet? I promise I'll never visit him again."
"no!"
Lei Yan was about to be drowned in despair. Just before the last ray of light disappeared, Meng Ke said, "No matter where he is, you can go see him."
Lei Yan thought he had misheard. He widened his eyes in disbelief, his voice trembling: "Really...really?"
"Yes! You took back the seed, and you are the one who gave Lei Nian a new life. You are his father, and you will always be. But we are not husband and wife. It is illegal for you to cultivate Lei Nian privately. I don't want my child to be affected by this. Changing his surname to mine is to correct the wrong. No one will dare to criticize him in the future."
Lei Yan seemed to see the dark clouds all over the world dissipate, and rays of sunshine shine down until the whole world becomes sunny.
"Okay! Thank you! I'll turn myself in after the test is done."
Lei Yan has made his decision. As long as his son is well, he will do anything.
What Meng Ke said was right. A lot of Lei Nian's data was fabricated by him using his connections. When Lei Nian grows up, these will become his stains, and he will not be able to pass the review for important positions in the alliance.
Now Meng Ke can set everything right, just in time!
At this moment, apart from the regret of not being able to accompany his son to grow up, he also felt sorry and grateful to Meng Ke.
Meng Ke was also glad that she had waited all night out of concern for Nian Nian. With Ouyang Kong's guidance last night and her own calmness after a night, she was able to have this win-win conversation today.
As for Lei Yan's surrender, Meng Ke canceled the lawsuit in front of Lei Yan.
"I have withdrawn the lawsuit and will no longer pursue this matter. You don't need to turn yourself in."
"No! I have to go!"
Meng Ke frowned. Does this person think free food tastes better?
Lei Yan suddenly became enlightened, and his IQ returned to normal.
"The other families have always coveted your genes. If they see that you are easy to talk to, they will definitely use any means to get them. Then you will never be able to live in peace."
Meng Ke scoffed coldly, "What are you afraid of?! You're talking as if they were always aboveboard. I know my limits in this matter, but you're causing trouble. I don't want him to hate me before I've even developed a relationship with my son."
Lei Yan lowered his head in shame and said with some lack of confidence: "Nian Nian likes you very much. After knowing the truth, she will only hate me, not you."
"Ha! Really?"
Meng Ke pouted in dissatisfaction. As soon as she walked out of the flower hall, she saw Nian Nian crying so hard that she was about to get a stitch in her side. She felt so distressed that her heart was sore.
She ran over to ask Ouyang Kong to release his grip, but as soon as Ouyang Kong loosened one leg, he was kicked hard.
Meng Ke's heart skipped a beat. She felt sorry for both her son and her husband, so she quickly reached out to take it.
Ouyang Kong handed the child in his arms to him, sealed the child's legs again, and glanced at Lei Yan who was standing stupidly on the side: "Why don't you come over here!"
