Yu Wan froze on the spot, feeling a slight electric current travel through her ear tips, her heart pounding wildly.

Tang Yue bit him once, then let go.

He took two steps back, leaving enough safe distance, and said righteously, "Don't worry, I will definitely perform well in the future and try to make you more satisfied."

"..."

He emphasized the words "performance" and "satisfaction," making Yu Wan feel that he meant something else, and her blood began to slowly boil.

She ground her teeth hard: "Shameless."

Tang Yue moved his lips, but seeing the deep weariness that she couldn't hide in her eyes, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

He remembered that Yu Wan had gone to see Shi Haocheng and almost wanted to ask her what had made her so exhausted.

Yet, I had a vague feeling that Yu Wan wouldn't say it, at least not at this moment.

The air suddenly became somewhat quiet.

Yu Wan felt uncomfortable all over and was about to speak.

A very faint sigh was heard.

Tang Yue stepped forward, pulled her into his arms, placed his slender fingers behind her neck, and carefully pressed her head against his chest.

Yu Wan struggled a couple of times.

Just then, she heard him say, "Wanwan, I hope that one day you can be completely at ease in front of me, without having to force a smile."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she became alert.

Did he discover something?

But the next sentence made her completely drop her guard.

He said, "It would break my heart."

-

Yu's Group.

Secretary Li respectfully and politely invited the young master of the Meng family into the lounge, and said with a smile, "Mr. Meng, please wait a moment. The chairman will be here after the meeting."

Meng Shen was in a daze and nodded haphazardly.

Seeing his expression, Secretary Li's eyes changed slightly. Could it be that something had happened to the young lady? He didn't dare to delay and turned to go to the conference room to quietly tell Yu Jianguo the news.

The meeting was almost over, and Yu Jianguo was extremely anxious, his face growing increasingly gloomy. Everyone below him dared not utter a sound.

Yu Jianguo handed over the remaining work to the department manager and then followed Secretary Li to the conference room. Unexpectedly, Meng Shen's first words to him were: "Uncle Yu, don't hide it from me anymore, does Wanwan have a terminal illness?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes welled up with tears.

Fortunately, there weren't any extra people present, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble would have ensued. What happened next was also beyond Secretary Li's knowledge, so she quietly closed the door and left.

Yu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out nothing had happened to Wanwan. He sat down on the sofa, crossed his hands on his knees, and asked, "Who told you that?"

"Aunt Chen revealed it unintentionally." Meng Shen clenched his fists, as if only in this way could he find the strength to support himself. "What exactly is Wanwan's illness? Why does she often faint?"

Yu Jianguo took out a cigarette from the pack, and was about to light it when he remembered that he was in the conference room, so he had to put it down.

In that instant, he seemed to have aged ten years.

Without him saying a word, Meng Shen already knew the answer, and tears fell silently.

Wanwan is so young, and she's going to die?

How could that be...

"Uncle Yu." At this moment, he suddenly wanted to deceive himself and hear a different answer from Yu Jianguo.

Yu Jianguo composed himself and said in a hoarse voice, "No symptoms can be found, but sometimes the body's organs will suddenly fail completely."

Even though Yu Wan assured him she would get better, he still couldn't sleep day and night. He was afraid that if he closed his eyes, his daughter would be gone when he woke up.

His daughter is such a meticulous and perceptive person; she'll definitely notice his unusual behavior. Her health isn't good to begin with; what if her condition worsens from worrying about him too much?

Therefore, on the one hand, he deliberately sent Yu Wan away, and on the other hand, he decided to try anything to get Yu Wan and Tang Yue to live together.

In retrospect, although Yu Wan's remarks about being a master were absurd, they were quite effective.

At least during this period, he has not relapsed.

Yu Jianguo wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and asked again, "Tell me honestly, did Wanwan meet with any masters in private?"

Meng Shen, whose tears were halfway down his face: "..."

Seeing Yu Jianguo's unusually serious eyes, he sniffed and said righteously, "Uncle Yu, we must believe in science and medicine. Wanwan's condition can only improve if she receives treatment. Please don't..." He paused, then said tactfully, "Don't believe in these superstitious tricks."

Yu Jianguo let out a heavy, suffocating breath.

When he recounted Yu Wan's words and the events that had occurred during this time, Meng Shen was struck dumb, his entire value system severely impacted.

The world is so damn surreal!

He needs to take it slow.

The meeting room fell silent for a long time.

Meng Shen organized his thoughts and asked, "You mean, as long as Wanwan spends money on Tang Yue, she can survive?"

Yu Jianguo nodded: "Wanwan acted so high-profilely, it's obvious she deliberately leaked this information to me. Is there something coercing her?"

If the Mirna were here, it would be so scared that it would crash on the spot.

Meng Shen forced a smile: "Maybe it's because Yu Xiaowan owed Tang Yue a sum of money in her past life."

"...Possibly." Yu Jianguo thought to himself, "Even a master has come out; it's not so hard to end the matter of people having past lives. Five thousand years of culture is profound and extensive; many things are inexplicable."

Meng Shen raised his hand and swore, "I will definitely protect Wanwan from now on."

Tang Jianguo stared at him for a while, then suddenly snorted with some disdain: "If Tang Yue does something to Wanwan, your physique probably won't be able to stop him."
