Chapter 182 Third Master Says He's a Love-Obsessed Person
Xiang Chu still refused to go back with Mei Nan.
Yu Yan had some questions for Mei Nan, so she said she had to go out for a while. Shao Muyan was worried and said, "I'll go with you."
Mei Nan's BMW was waiting at the entrance of the research institute's family compound. She raised an eyebrow when she saw Yu Yan and Shao Muyan walking out side by side without Xiang Chu.
She turned off the car lights, got out of the car, and waved to Yu Yan and Shao Muyan from a distance.
Despite the cold weather, she wore a brown cotton long dress, revealing her slender legs. Her long, dark brown curly hair swayed gently in the wind, and every strand of hair exuded elegance.
Yu Yan suddenly could hardly recognize Mei Nan; the person in front of her was different from the one she had a few months ago.
If Mei Nan was somewhat timid before, with a hint of evasion in her eyes, she is now confident, composed, and stunningly beautiful.
Upon closer inspection of Yu Yan, it became apparent that Mei Nan had undergone cosmetic surgery, as her facial features had changed somewhat.
She keeps changing, growing upwards at an incredible pace.
But what price was paid behind the scenes?
Nobody knows.
"Yu Yan, Professor Shao."
Mei Nan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Xiang Chu won't come out?"
Yu Yan said bluntly, "What you said is scary, how could he dare to go with you?"
Mei Nan's smile faded slightly, but she still blinked indifferently.
"It's cold outside, put on some clothes, and let's talk."
Yu Yan said to Mei Nan, then glanced at Shao Muyan, "Uncle Yan, why don't you wait for me in the security room for a while? It's warm inside."
"It's nothing, I'll just wander around here."
Shao Muyan stepped back a few steps to give them space, but only to a short distance so that he could protect Yu Yan immediately if she encountered any problems.
For some reason, he felt a chill run down his spine when he looked at Mei Nan, even more so than when he saw Gan Xiaoxing.
Magnetic fields are sometimes hard to explain.
Mei Nan put on a woolen coat and talked with Yu Yan in a sheltered spot.
They were both smart people, so they spoke frankly. Yu Yan said directly, "You shouldn't have interfered in the mess that Xiang Jingheng made."
When Mei Nan said those words to Xiang Chu on the phone, Xiang Chu and Shao Yun might not have understood, but Yu Yan, Shao Muyan, and Shao Min all did. It was highly likely that Mei Nan had disposed of the child in Gan Xiaoxing's belly.
This is truly a terrible thing!
Mei Nan did not deny this, but said lightly, "No, this is all Gan Xiaoxing's fault, no one else is to blame."
Yu Yan suddenly looked up.
She discovered that Mei Nan was genuine, wholeheartedly protecting Xiang Jingheng, and willing to help him resolve some problems and troubles.
After Mei Nan left, Yu Yan and Shao Muyan watched the car drive away, their eyes narrowing.
"I only realized today that Mei Nan is serious about Xiang Jingheng."
Shao Muyan turned to look at her.
Yu Yan pondered for a moment, “Mei Nan is the one who truly loves Xiang Jingheng. I can’t do what she can do.”
Upon hearing this, Shao Muyan gently put his arm around her shoulder and asked, "Do you think this is true love?"
Yu Yan looked at him.
"It may be true love, but it is definitely not a healthy and positive love."
Shao Muyan looked at Yu Yan thoughtfully and smiled gently: "Don't worry, I don't need you to love me like this."
"..." Yu Yan's face flushed red.
She gave Shao Muyan a slight glare, then threw the question back at him, "Would you love me like that?"
Shao Muyan thought about it seriously and answered her in a very straightforward way: "My values may not allow it."
Then the tone suddenly shifted: "But it's hard to say, I'm love-struck. I think whatever you do is right, so what can I do?"
It could only mean she committed the murder and he helped collect the body.
Yu Yan was amused by him and laughed a few times before asking, "Are you love-struck?"
"Hmm." Shao Muyan smiled as well: "Can't you tell?"
"I can't tell."
Yu Yan then asked, "Besides me, who else have you been in love with?"
“No.” Shao Muyan answered quickly, and the key point is that he answered with a serious and solemn expression. “In my barren life of thirty-five years, I have only ever loved Yu Yan.”
The lake of my heart was like a giant rock that had fallen into it, creating huge waves.
Yu Yanxin is incredibly smug; no wonder people love to hear sweet words. However, some things depend on who says them.
She had to admit that she liked this sense of security and fulfillment.
—
Xiang Chu was so frightened that she had nightmares all night.
With a loud scream, cold sweat poured down his forehead; he was gripped by a nightmare.
Upon hearing the piercing scream, Yu Yan opened her eyes almost instantly, leaped out of bed, and rushed into the next room with disheveled hair, not even bothering to put on slippers.
Shao Muyan followed closely behind, rushing upstairs in two quick steps.
When they entered the room, Xiang Chu was crying, and Shao Yun was holding him and comforting him—Shao Yun was the first one to be awakened by Xiang Chu.
Upon seeing Yu Yan, Chu trembled and called out "Mom," only to be embraced by Yu Yan.
When Yu Yan hugged Xiang Chu, she subconsciously touched his back, which was covered in sweat and his body was trembling uncontrollably as he sobbed.
Shao Muyan took two coats from the closet and put one on Yu Yan and one on Xiang Chu. He then brought slippers from next door for Yu Yan to wear.
"Should we go to the hospital?" Shao Muyan reached out and touched Xiang Chu's forehead. It wasn't hot, but it was cold from sweat.
Before Yu Yan could speak, Xiang Chu shook her head: "No, I don't want to go..."
Yu Yan stroked his back, then carried him around the room, her body moving rhythmically, just like when she held him when he was sick as a child.
Shake it off, and the illness will disappear.
Touch its fur, it won't scare you.
Xiang Chu leaned on Yu Yan's shoulder, feeling this long-lost maternal love, and tears welled up in her eyes.
He remembered everything.
I remember how his mother carried him to the hospital when he was sick, and how she stayed up all night tirelessly to comfort him...
During his most difficult time, his grandmother, aunt, grandfather, and father were not around, and his godmother was even less likely to be by his side. They all found it troublesome and were even afraid that his illness would infect them.
Only his mother never disliked him, nor did she ever think of him as a burden.
But why would he turn around and despise his mother, and say so many hurtful things to her?
"Mom, I'm sorry."
Xiang Chu said in a muffled voice, crying with snot and tears streaming down her face, which she rubbed onto Yu Yan's shoulder.
Shao Yun handed a few tissues to Shao Muyan, who then wiped Xiang Chu's face.
Xiang Chu felt a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Uncle Shao."
He finally stopped shaking and could speak normally again. Yu Yan and Shao Muyan both breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had recovered.
You'll be fine once you recover.
She's quite a big girl now; it's tiring to carry her for too long.
Shao Yun noticed Yu Yan's difficulty and patted Xiang Chu's bottom, "Get down, go wash your face, you're all sweaty."
"Oh." Xiang Chu slid off Yu Yan.
Shao Yun took Xiang Chu to the restroom. Xiang Chu obediently washed her face and then said to her brother, "I also want to take a shower."
"Don't wash yet, you'll easily catch a cold."
Shao Yun, with his experience, said, "Let's talk about it after you've completely cooled down."
Yu Yan listened to Shao Yun's words from inside the room and looked at Shao Muyan. Shao Muyan knew what she wanted to ask, nodded, and said, "Yunyun used to have nightmares often and would wake up in fright."
I woke up with a start, my forehead covered in sweat.
"Sometimes the reaction is too strong, and it can easily cause stomach cramps and vomiting."
Shao Muyan added a sentence, then paused and exchanged a glance with Yu Yan.
They all recalled Yu Yan's overreaction when she first met Xiang Jingheng and Xiang Chu after returning to China, which was exactly the same as Shao Yun's.
