Starlight Company's Conference Room.

Starlight Corporation. Half an hour before the morning meeting. Upon their group's arrival, Meng Lan was shocked to see few VIPs, bigshot shareholders that usually only attend the meeting using Video conference to be there to attend a morning meeting.

These group of old men were the core of Starlight, their identity is even more profound than Moonlight CEO, Cao Junzi, the business emperor of this time. They held power only second to the Chairman, Meng Huang and they were all from his father's generation.

At the forefront is the head of this group, Xue Ling, a cold looking handsome man in his thirties. He is even a few years older than his father and he is Meng Anya's big uncle as he is Anya's mother's older brother. He shares the same crimson eyes of Meng Anya though more of the darker shade, this is Xue Clan's lineage perks.

This uncle never attends company meetings himself and even leaves the video conference attendance to his secretary when he, Meng Lan, leads a meeting and unexpectedly he is here. Meng Lan came forward to give his greetings.

With a smile on his face, Meng Lan greeted respectfully, "Uncle Xue, Meng Lan greets."

Xue Ling's sharp and cold eyes landed on Meng Lan, but the latter hid his fear though the stiffness of his body cannot be hidden. Giving the young man a glance, Xue Ling just gestured with his eyes that he accepted his greeting without a sound before closing his eyes for a moment while waiting for someone else's arrival.

Seeing that the latter only gestured with his eyes, Meng Lan felt like air slapped him straight to his face and felt anger towards the old man but kept everything under his gentle façade. Big Uncle Xue ignoring Meng Lan is normal but this time it might be unintentional for the former to not even accept Meng Lan's greeting. His stiff movements were not superficial, and it shows that he was quite tense as well.

Leaving a dumbstruck COO, the older man remained silent, still waiting. Beside him the other elder generation shareholders, who were present unexpectedly today, had all their eyes on the door. As if they were expecting a King to arrive. The younger generations watch this group of old men surrounded with a tense atmosphere leaving them bewildered.

Even the business emperor was ignored when he arrived even before Meng Lan. Meng Lan sat in his designated area so it just so happens that he sits next to The Business Emperor, Cao Junzi, who is Moonlight Company's CEO. The center of the table was left empty for the Chairman of Starlight Corporation which is the highest authority within the company.

The moment Meng Lan took his seat, he received the message through Cao Junzi's eyes to meet him after the meeting. These two had longed progressed their plans when they first met a few years ago, even before Cao Junzi became Moonlight's CEO. They were schoolmates and childhood friends even close to becoming lovers.

After waiting for another half an hour, the doors to the room opened with Lin Xia and Ye Baiyu in lead. Opening the doors to their masters. With playful upturned lips, Meng Anya in lead wearing an unusual formal charcoal grey suit walked towards the center table. He gallantly walked while excluding a proud and alluring aura as if welcoming a little devil from his long vacation, following behind him is a charmingly dangerous looking handsome man in black suit.

With a deadpan face and cold expression, they watch black suit wearing man follow that alluring small figure like an indulgent demon king to his beloved. Everyone's eyes fell on the pair unconditionally. The older generation had reacted servile like they were used to giving the little one an extremely respectful bow.

With Xue Ling in lead who now had a smile on that stiff face, he looked at the little one in the lead with eyes full of adoration for his children.

Ecstatically smiling, "I'm back~" Meng Anya proudly announced his arrival.

The group under Xue Ling's supervision all stood up and slightly bowed in reverence. Greeting all together.

"Welcome back, Young Lord!" leaving the younger generation speechless by the scene.

Accepting their greetings Meng Anya bowed back to these groups of old men.

"Grandpas~ Uncles~ Big Uncle. You really don't need to lower your backs. Please don't do it next time. Sending your successors would be enough for this kind of meeting. For important ones you shall be informed." said Meng Anya.

Hearing his words made the older generation joyful as smiles surfaced on their old faces.

"No, it's an honor to be at your service, Young Lord."

"This old man's old bone can still be at use at your orders."

"This old thing is always at your service milord."

"Ai, these old men. Can't you just take your rest and enjoy the luxury your descendants will earn for you? Go home. Go home!" Meng Anya said but the smile on the old men just widens with some of them chuckling.

"Xiao An." called Xue Ling.

"Yes, Big Uncle?" replied Meng Anya with a smile.

While his uncle looked at him then frowned a bit to look at Mo Yijun who sat beside him. After returning to stare at his little nephew with questioning eyes. Seeing his uncle's weird expression, Anya knew that he must have recognized who his man is.

"Would big uncle and elders like to join me for tea after the meeting?" asked Anya with a sly smile on his exquisite face.

Seeing that his nephew understood his intention, he knew that the little one agreed to have a private talk with him after the meeting. Xue Ling graciously left the reins for the young CEO to take the lead.

"Good. Continue the meeting!" replied Xue Ling.

The meeting continues. This time Meng Anya's attention was all at the attendees of the meeting including the younger generation who is currently holding their tongues afraid of offending the young man who sat at the highest seat.

Among them only two want to speak out but Meng Lan because of his current position stands on Starlight's side holds himself back while Cao Junzi fell in dazed when he saw Meng Anya after Hei Anjing took over. He felt mesmerized by Meng Anya's confidence and proud personality.

He is totally full of haughtiness as if he is the top of the world, but this proud streak is unlike what he showed before, his aura this time is irresistible and adding his elegant but flirtatious aura he seems like a little devil with irrefutable authority. Cao Junzi couldn't detach his eyes on him.

A seductive beauty and fulsome presence. That's the two things Junzi desires for an ideal lover.

Mo Yijun noticed that Junzi's lovestruck eyes and knowing that the target is his baby, his aura turned dark and murderous.

Feeling the dangerous aura around Yijun, of course everyone couldn't help but flinch and feel cold in unconscious fear. Only Xue Ling, who knew his identity showed an even deeper frown on face as he looked at him while worrying at his little nephew seated beside that dangerous man but Meng Anya is turning a blind eye to his man's vinegar jar.

Cao Junzi, who is the main target of his glare was brought back to reality and just smiled as he averted his gaze. But his actions only mean that the place is not good so I will step back for now. Making Mo Yijun's face even uglier.

Only when that somewhat cold hand holds his hand even intertwining their 10 fingers that he moves his head to look at his baby who is giving him a sweet smile that he calmed down. Playing with his baby's hand under the table, Yijun's anger subsides. The tension in the area disappeared after that.

While others just took a breath of relief, those who knew why Yijun took back his overbearing aura looked at the smiling Anya and the Yijun, who now have lowered his head focusing on their clasped hands with a deadpan face. Others tried their best not to look under the table to ease their curiosity as to why that dangerous man suddenly calmed down.

The smart ones even took a photo or short recording with their phone secretly to see what's happening under the table. Among them only Xue Ling seated directly beside his nephew can see everything that happened with his own eyes leaving a stunned expression on his face.

Ignoring his uncle's dazed eyes, "Well then let's continue the meeting. Some of you might know who I am so I'll keep the introduction short. I'm Meng Anya, your current CEO and Co-Chairman of Starlight. Which means that if my father, Meng Huang isn't around I have the highest authority in Starlight!" Said Meng Anya with a bright smile on his face.

Leaving the young generation dumbfounded by his introduction but when they looked at the older generation with expressions that say that everything Meng Anya says is right, that the younger generation couldn't help but hold their tongue back.

The room got a bit noisy after his introduction with others glancing at Meng Anya and Meng Lan, respectively. Making Meng Lan uncomfortable when even Cao Junzi took a glance at him. Meng Lan could feel that they wanted him to step forward and explain things for them.

"Oh~ I know you have some problems knowing that this second-generation ancestor is taking the position as CEO. Let's continue the meeting no… my introduction meeting. My secretary, Lin Xia, will do the honor." Meng Anya said as he sat back to his seat ignoring all others entertaining his sticky lover seated beside him.

While the older generation only had their eyes on that intimate pair at the center end of the table, all eyes of the younger generation are at the projection Lin Xia is providing them. Lin Xia is currently introducing Meng Anya's hidden background. This is the part of the original setting that was buried when the world was first restarted. Everything is about Meng Anya's original setting.

Him being tested for having an immeasurable IQ as well as a full-fledged graduate of an globally renowned University aboard at the age of 8 with him being the founder of Starlight Corporation at the age of 10 and stepping down at the age of 15 under the older generation and his mother's attempts to let him have a normal life.

Leaving everyone especially Meng Lan in disbelief while leaving Cao Junzi and Ye Baiyu were especially speechless. After a few minutes Lin Xia had finished his report, everyone's eyes moved towards that playful young CEO Meng Anya at the center end of the table. Looking at him like he is some kind of monster. Silence engulfing the whole room.

Noticing the silence and the stares befallen at him. Meng Anya finally temporarily moved his eyes from his lover to the people inside the room. But he only glanced at them once before resuming his gaze at his man.

"Finish? Good. Then let's end the morning meeting for today. After a week, I'll do a little clean up~. So, do what you must do. As long as I don't catch any tails, you'll be safe right?~ Meeting adjourned!" Meng Anya announced while not even looking at any of them for the second time. He only gestured to them to leave.

After a second of hesitation, the younger generation all took off as if they were being chased. The moment they heard Meng Anya say about the clean-up, everyone knew what he meant. They wanted to clear loose ends to avoid being punished before the weekend comes. Only a few older generations stayed over like Xue Ling, most of them were elders of Xue Clan and Meng Anya's elders.

Even Cao Junzi left the room after giving a meaningful glance at the intimate pair at the center end of the table before walking out without looking back. Meng Lan on the other hand had an ugly expression on his face which deepened when he saw his elder brother's mocking smile when he took a glance at him.

He knew what that mocking smile meant, it was a warning. For him not to push further his plans to steal something not his. Gritting his teeth in anger and jealousy, Meng Lan could only leave in huge strides leaving the room in a hurry.

The moment the meeting room was left with only a few elders, the pair and their subordinates, a cloudy aura befallen inside the room. All the elders were looking at Meng Anya and the man beside him. Especially Xue Ling who is giving Mo Yijun a glare fearlessly, but the latter just ignores it.

Looking at his little nephew with his eyes filled with worry and fear of him getting hurt, "Our dear Xiao An. Do you know the identity of that man beside you?" asked Xue Ling.

"Mo Yijun. The Lord of Underworld City." Unhesitatingly answered Meng Anya while his answer startled Lin Xia and the other elders inside the room. Causing a short commotion in the meeting room.

Lin Xia even looked at Ye Baiyu seated beside him in disbelief while the latter only flashed him a silly smile. Obviously his stupid expression makes Lin Xia wants to beat him up. Though he had longed to know that Ye Baiyu isn't the lord of the underworld, he didn't expect for the dangerous looking man who posted himself as an ordinary bodyguard of his young lord to end up being the real lord of the underworld. Even he is not blind enough to not see that man's obsession towards his young lord.

Calming down his people. "Silence!" ordered Xue Ling to the other old men beside him.

"What's your relationship with him?" asked Xue Ling as he glanced at Mo Yijun who was ignoring the chaos inside the room focusing his attention on the hands of beloved and gently kneading it in massage.

With an innocent expression on his face, "Hm~ currently my bodyguard? Hired for a lifetime." Answered Meng Anya without any reluctance on his words.

Hearing his baby's answer, a smile surfaced on that cold and dangerous man's face. Lifting that slender white hand giving the back of his hand a kiss. He's silvery irises were filled with tenderness and love.

Such action of his startled everyone inside the room except for his baby who flashed him a proud smirk like his actions are normal usual things.

Stuttering with widened eyes in shock, "Y-You… you… T-That… are you two!?" asked Xue Ling.

"If Big Uncle is worrying about him hurting me then… with my life on line I can bet A'Yi would never be able to do that." Replied Meng Anya.

Mo Yijun's smile widened when he heard how much his baby trusted him with his life. Even pulling Meng Anya into a hug.

The elders inside the room were rendered speechless, "But he is… the Lord of underworld." An elder reasoned out.

While looking at any of them, Mo Yijun spoke, "I can step down on being a Lord anytime. Moreover, Underworld City is a legal enterprise. You can ask my father, Prime Minister Mo, for further questions." Said Mo Yijun while hugging his beloved ignoring the weird stares of the elders inside the room.

"You are the Minister's son!? Would your exalted father even agree with your relationship with our Xiao An?" asked Xue Ling with creases on his forehead upon hearing such shocking knowledge about the latter's background.

"If I told him I'm willing to follow a few of his orders without complaining, that old man would agree. Moreover, he has so many illegitimate sons who can take his place. He never needs me to spread his descendants. That old man will never care." Replied Mo Yijun without hesitation about his father's black secrets.

"If he doesn't agree then… I can make sure he can never call himself the Prime Minister, if he doesn't give Yijun to me." Outspoken Meng Anya with seriousness and dangerous glint within those scarlet eyes rendering everyone silent and fearful.

While in everyone's thoughts,

'This child is not kidding at all.'

'Damn! Making me remember of the past when someone wanted to take his mother from his father.'

'Didn't that Prime Minister Mo, Xue Meiyue's little admirer from before!?'

'This brat's possessiveness never changed at all.'

After a moment of speechlessness, Mo Yijun looked at his pouting little one on his arms suddenly heartfully laughing at his cuteness and possessive nature.

Seeing that the possessiveness he felt for the little one is not one-sided that made him extremely happy. Immediately hugging the one in his arms tighter.

"No worries. I'm yours exclusively, baby." Said Mo Yijun while chuckling in the end.

"Ha! Of course, you are mine. You said that already last night!" replied Meng Anya like it's a matter of fact.

Seeing the live flirting interaction between the pair, Xue Ling could only sigh in defeat. Just seeing how the two children before him acted, he can see with his eyes that their feelings for each other were real and unbiased. Both have possessive nature and outsiders can only watch and not do anything to separate them.

Trying to separate the two will only end up in endless chaos and hell. Seeing that both have presence that can lead wherever they were thrown to and that boundless confidence as an individual, one can say that this pair is the most powerful pair that can exist in the world.

With one of them being an overlord of an underground city and one being a lazy tyrant who no one could control.

"Sigh~ how about your father, does he know?" asked Xue Ling with no other choice but to accept the relationship between the two.

Smiling, "No but it was dad who hired A'Yi to become my bodyguard. I even indirectly informed him about A'Yi's identity, but he didn't take the bait so… Dad doesn't know who A'Yi is. But seeing our interaction, dad must already have a few guesses about it." Replied Meng Anya with a playful smile on his face.

When Xue Ling and the elders saw his spirited smile, they knew that he wasn't kidding, that the doting father didn't know their relationship nor the identity of the man he hired for his darling son.

Thinking of how that old man will act, Xue Ling could only sigh in picturing how that spoiled old man will act when his darling son was stolen from him. It will be endless chaos and weeping.

"Xiao An, how much do you think that old child will cry when he hears about this?" Asked Xue Ling, as he seems to be talking about Meng Anya's father.

With a sparkling smile on his face, "I'll leave dad for uncle to handle~ By the way Uncle and elders… I have something interesting here with me. Are you interested?" said Meng Anya with a huge grin on his face.

Seeing his upturned lips, the elders in the room could only sigh collectively. Thinking that this child will cause chaos in the market once again with those weirdly interesting ideas of his.
