3.7 Second Small Star – Breakfast

Meng Mansion's Dining Area.

President Meng was seated at the topmost chair of the long table. He had the highest authority within the family which is why he sat at the position where everyone could see him.

On his left side Meng Lan took his seat together with the guests like Lin Xia, his darling son's aide and Ye Baiyu who came as a representative from Underworld City to inform him about the verification of his issued mission's acceptance.

Meng Lan greeted Meng Huang, "Father, Good Morning!"

"Um. Take your seat. Have your breakfast." replied Meng Huang who focuses on the tablet at his hand instead of Meng Lan's greeting. Treating him coldly more so than before after learning of his evil plan.

Lin Xia and Ye Baiyu greeted the old man as well.

Lin Xia, "Pleasant Morning, Sir."

Ye Baiyu, "Greetings President Meng."

"Same to you two as well. Go ahead and sit. I've told Old Lu to call An'er and Mr. Mo. As for the mission's verification, the decision will be made by my son, Anya." said Meng Huang, current President of Starlight.

Waiting for a while the butler returned and informed them that the eldest young master will be joining them for breakfast after taking a bath. Half an hour later. They finally saw the two figures they've been waiting for. Meng Anya is being carried by Mo Yijun.

Meng Anya was dressed formally in a dark grey suit. He's usually proud and arrogant temperament was changed to something calm and upright. The atmosphere around him felt serene and mild but they could feel the confidence in every of his gestures which shows his elegant and noble upbringing.

His phoenix shaped eyes were alluring with his irises having hints of garnet excluding a feeling of mirth and disdain to everything that entered his line of sight. The corner of scarlet moist lips were slightly upturned into a mischievous smile giving someone a ticklish feeling once seeing it.

If one has sharper sight and intuition they would be able to feel the hidden danger within those mischievous smiles of his. The man carrying him is a tall man with a dangerous aura. Wearing a pure black suit from head to toe, this man excluded a detached and warning feeling of a predator.

With his short obsidian hair that matches his clothes and a sharp cold gaze coming from his silvery orbs made one flinch, feeling the imminent danger it possessed.

Despite that, they couldn't help but feel that the dangerous aura coming from this man softens when Meng Anya looks at him. This man is Meng Anya's personal bodyguard, Mo Yijun.

In the dining area few people had already begun eating. Meng Huang had finished his breakfast ahead of them and is now having his coffee while looking at his works on his tablet. Meng Lan is in the middle of eating, seated beside him Lin Xia who is silently having breakfast while ignoring the silly one who is stealing a glance at him, Ye Baiyu.

The moment Mo Yijun appeared with Meng Anya on his arms, others showed different reactions. Meng Huang's tablet fell on the table with a loud bang, adding up the sound of a spoon and fork falling on the plate from Ye Baiyu who felt like he was stricken by lightning. Lin Xia just looked at the arrival of his lord with a knowing gaze before silently returning his eyes to his plate to eat.

Beside him Meng Lan was rendered speechless by the scene of his elder brother being carried in the arms of that charming hot man with a dangerous aura. He couldn't recognize who he might be, but he knew that this person's aura is even stronger than the business emperor, Cao Junzi. Even he for a moment was charmed by that king-like figure.

Seeing Meng Lan's lovestruck gaze, Meng Anya's eyes squinted perilously with those scarlet eyes glinting with madness which made the four flinch. They've moved their eyes to look at his target only to see Meng Lan's lovestruck gaze flinched and change immediately. The hand of Meng Lan that was holding the fork couldn't help but shake when he received his elder brother's cold gaze.

Mo Yijun who noticed his baby's change of expressions could only smile as he suggestively caressed his back to return back his baby's attention to him. Only after he felt that gentle hand on his back that Meng Anya's smile returned and smiled at his man before looking at his stunned dad.

Giving his dad a sweet smile while Mo Yijun put him on his chair before taking a seat beside him. "Good Morning, Dad!" Meng Anya greeted.

With a slight astonishment on his eyes Meng Huang said, "Ah... Un! Good morning my son. You and... Mr. Mo..."

Meng Anya said to his lover, "Feed me." Mo Yijun could only sit beside his baby, overstepping his duties as a bodyguard.

Naturally placing food on his baby's plate, "Please call me Yijun, Uncle." Mo Yijun said.

Accepting their intimate actions without blinking in confusion, "Ah? Okay. Yijun accompany my son to the company. An'er, my son will attend the morning meeting on daddy's behalf, okay?" said Meng Huang while observing the two who acted dearly close before him with a muddled expression on his old face.

Meng Anya who was being fed by Mo Yijun, nodded at his dad in agreement. "We'll go together dad. I've already had them informed ahead of time. Necessary things have been prepared. Xia, I'll leave the rest to you." replied Meng Anya.

Lin Xia, "As you wish, My lord."

"Good...! You can decide as you wish. Your authority will be the same as mine as the chairman. An'er will be the CEO starting today!" Meng Huang announced.

This announcement of his shocked his other son and stood up in surprise. "Father!!" Meng Lan called as his voice was filled with disbelief.

But Meng Huang just gave him a serious gaze, "What is it, Lan? Do you not agree with this old man's decision!?" he rebuked this illegitimate son.

Seeing his father's anger, Meng Lan had paused his words for a moment before explaining his worries. "But father... I don't think... will the board members accept this? After all, brother is... undergraduate." Said Meng Lan.

Acting as if he heard a joke, the eldest young master spoke, "Are you sure about that?" said Meng Anya.

Looking at his brother with disguised anger and disdain trying to hide his envy and jealousy from their father's attention on Meng Anya. He thought he masked his real feelings, but his eyes failed him in the end.

"W-What do you mean, brother?" asked Meng Lan as his eyes were full of disgust.

Those scarlet eyes were full of mirth as he looked at Meng Lan before he spoke.

"Just attend the morning meeting. You will understand what this big brother meant after that. By the way A'Yi and Xia will attend the meeting with me. You cannot not disagree as I'm the CEO of Starlight. You understand right? My dear little brother~" said Meng Anya while smiling playful at Meng Lan. His voice was filled with laughter and a teasing tone.

But seeing his entertained smile, Meng Lan can only feel his blood going cold before falling seated back to his chair as he unconsciously felt fear seeing such a stunning smile on his devil like elder brother.

Astonished, "Yes, Brother." replied Meng Lan.

"Good, that you know," Meng Anya ignored everyone's gaze as he continued to feed his man after he was fed full by him.

Not far from them Ye Baiyu can hear himself swallowing his saliva while in the middle of a tense atmosphere. He's eyes wondered to his big boss and to the little devil incubus who is feeding him with a gentle smile on his face.

While trembling when he saw a smile in the corner of his demon King boss's lips.

In his mind is chaos, Ye Baiyu's thoughts, 'W-Who the hell is this person using my big boss body? S-Smiling? That Demon King feared by the whole underworld is smiling!? Fuck! Am I dreaming right now!?'

"Xia, you can go ahead with Meng Lan. You could bring that thing by your side with you if you wanted. A'Yi said I can borrow him. He will work with you. You can handle him yourself." Meng Anya said to his aide.

Lin Xia who received his orders agreed with a smiling face as he was in a very good mood knowing that he will have Ye Baiyu as his slave starting today.

Of course! With his Lord and his Lord's other half's (Mo Yijun) permission, he knew that Ye Baiyu would be under his orders in authority, seeing that the big boss is fondly spoiling his lord.

"As you wish, My lord." Replied Lin Xia with a bright smile on his face.

Seeing such a bright smile on Lin Xia's face, Ye Baiyu who already knew how he would end up while under his care could only look to his boss for help. Only for Mo Yijun to look at him for a moment ignoring his pleads as he averted his eyes like he didn't see him at all.

Ye Baiyu can only cry in his heart when he saw his big boss ignoring his presence while Execution who saw the whole thing could only light some candles for Ye Baiyu as he is again, the one who has the lowest authority among the group.

He has the lowest authority among the four as always with my Host being the highest. Poor human.

Meng Lan who was told to go to the company ahead of time with Lin Xia and slave Ye Baiyu. Can only leave after finishing their breakfast, leaving the rest to continue their breakfast.

At the same time, they left, Meng Anya finished feeding his husband his meal and prepared to take a half hour break before leaving. Knowing the reason that his darling son stayed after sending the other away, Meng Huang knew that he had something to say to him.

Waiting for his son to speak, "My son… tell daddy what your plan is." Meng Huang asked.

"I will clean up the company. Remove the partnership with Moonlight by the end of the third month. I will handle the company until I find a successor."

"My son, do you not wish to run Starlight anymore?"

"I created Starlight at age of 10 using dad's name and gave it away at 15 when mom died. This is to complete my promise to her, living a normal life as a dandy Young master. Dad should know how innately lazy I am.

When I made this toy (Starlight) and got bored with it when it grew out too much, I had no plans on taking back the reins. Only until someone tried to steal it that I've decided to step forward, even stopping the normal life I've promised mom.

The things I've made none of it was controlled by me personally. I've given the reins to those who wanted it in exchange for their loyalty. Even the Galaxia System I've left to the government to control, doesn't mean it isn't mine. If I wanted to destroy it I could do so if the country betrayed me. I may be extremely lazy, hate boredom the most but no one is allowed to take what is mine no matter what it is."

[A/n: The Galaxia System Meng Anya is talking about here, is a program with a system structure that controls all information in this world. This modern world had a half futuristic setting. Just a few steps need to evolve to a futuristic one. The Original Meng Anya was supposed to be the pioneer to level up his world because of the former world hopper who destroy his setting that the world upgrade was halted and forcefully restarted leaving errors of Meng Anya's setting which is why according to the plot Meng Anya was not really jailed but instead sold by the government to foreign country in exchange of Galaxia's full authority.]

"How about Meng Lan? What do you plan to do with him?" asked Meng Huang.

"I will give him 3 chances. Even if his blood is not the same as mine, he is still a Meng. If he continues to court death then I'll give him his punishment. Oh~ there are only 2 chances left, he used a chance yesterday."

Hearing his darling son's words, Meng Huang knew that his darling son decided to stop the normal life his wife wanted him to have. He wanted to let his son continue living a normal life as a young master but holding Cao Junzi's ambitions were enough to tire his means.

Adding up Meng Lan targeting Meng Anya, he couldn't blame his darling son deciding to stop playing around to clean up the mess he couldn't. He wasn't a worldly genius like his son, he is only an average and normal human being. His son's intelligence never came from him anyway. His darling son got it from his dear wife. The only thing Anya got from him is his playful and childish nature.

Even with his son's intelligence, the world was still able to take his wife from them, he couldn't help but sometimes wonder whether the world itself took his wife back because his son was born, to balance the world.

Sigh~ "Do as you wish. Just don't forget to inform your Uncle Xue so he could help you." said Meng Huang.

"Of course. I've sent Lin Xia with Lan because I want him to inform Big Uncle. Dad, you can take a rest now. Leave everything to me." said Meng Anya, grinning at his father who sighed once again thinking of how the future may change a lot with his darling son taking the stage once again.
