Chapter 188 I am Shao Yun's mother

On the way back, Yu Yan and Shao Muyan were still in a heavy mood.

Every time someone gets a little deeper into Mei Nan's life, they can't help but be drawn into her world. They would find it unbearable to imagine even a fraction of that pain happening to them, but for Mei Nan, it was just everyday life.

It's unimaginable how much she's gone through to get to where she is today.

"Uncle Yan," Yu Yan asked Shao Muyan from inside the car, "Do you think it might be Mei Nan?"

Shao Muyan turned to look at her.

Yu Yan also looked at him, moved her lips, and added, "Shao Yun's biological mother."

Shao Muyan's pupils changed color.

"have no idea."

He shook his head slightly, his eyes darkening. "If it really is Mei Nan, with her meticulous mind and keen insight, she would know we've arrived at the orphanage and why we've come the moment we arrive."

Shao Muyan shook Yu Yan's hand and said solemnly, "I think Mei Nan will come looking for us."

Yu Yan's mind raced.

He said "we," not "I."

My wandering heart suddenly settled down.

Yu Yan tickled Shao Muyan's palm, leaned back in her seat, met his gaze, and curled her lips: "So, if Mei Nan really is the woman you spent the night with that night, what do you plan to do?"

Shao Muyan was slightly taken aback, then blurted out, "Nothing to do."

Yu Yan raised an eyebrow.

"oh?"

She said deliberately, "You've been looking for this person for so many years, and you finally found them, but you don't plan to do anything? Then what are you looking for them for? With such a hasty investigation, I thought you couldn't wait to meet them."

Shao Muyan: "..."

Is it true that people tend to become jealous after falling in love?

In short, after Yu Yan finished speaking with the pronoun "other people," the air was filled with a strong smell of jealousy.

Needless to say, even Yu Yan herself could smell it and was so jealous of herself.

How pretentious! She's insulting herself.

Startled, Shao Muyan quickly realized what was happening and, in response, scratched Yu Yan's damp palm with the tip of his index finger. "Jealous?"

He asked seriously, and Yu Yan blushed, but answered frankly, "A little."

Shao Muyan moved forward slightly, but Yu Yan did not back down.

When Shao Muyan suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips, Yu Yan did not move. Only when Shao Muyan slowly and gently opened his lips did Yu Yan respond.

Sometimes actions speak louder than words and can better express a person's heart.

No one knows better than Yan how Shao Muyan treats her and how he treats others.

She may be jealous, but she never doubted anything.

This is the sense of security that Shao Muyan gave her.

She felt secure with him.

...

The rain started to fall even harder.

The sounds of intimacy inside the car were completely drowned out by the sound of rain.

Shao Muyan's car was parked next to a row of pine trees. The clean street was drizzling. The car window was cracked open to let in some air, but the smell inside the car was still quite strong. Yu Yan lay on Shao Muyan's lap with her cheeks flushed. A whole pack of wet wipes had been used up.

"I need to go wash the car."

Shao Muyan gently stroked Yu Yan's cheek with his fingertips.

Yu Yan's hands were tired, and her body was damp. She didn't want to move at all and just gave a soft "hmm".

Shao Muyan smiled as he looked at her satisfied and languid appearance.

"It can't be Mei Nan."

Shao Muyan suddenly spoke, saying with great certainty.

Yu Yan looked up at him and made a nasal sound: "Hmm?"

"I feel like a complete stranger to her."

Shao Muyan's expression suddenly darkened, and he said to Yu Yan, "I've had a problem since I was a child, which I've never told you about. I'm particularly sensitive to the magnetic field between people. If our magnetic fields are compatible, we hit it off immediately. If our magnetic fields are incompatible, I feel uncomfortable when I get close to them, as if I suddenly smell rotting flesh. This smell will make me automatically stay away from them."

Yu Yan blinked in surprise; it was the first time she had heard about this.

"How come I've never felt this way before?"

Listening to her silly remarks, Shao Muyan tapped her forehead and chuckled, "Silly girl, it's because I don't feel any aversion to you. On the contrary, our magnetic fields are very compatible. I feel very comfortable when I'm near you, and I really want to hug you and kiss you."

Yu Yan blinked again, her face turning even redder.

Thinking back to what had just happened... not only did Uncle Yan's pupils change color, but even the smell on his body changed.

This feeling is familiar.

She could only vaguely recall where she had experienced it.

Yu Yan murmured, "It's like pheromones..."

"Um?"

Shao Muyan didn't hear clearly, "What pheromones?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

Yu Yan said, "I once heard a senior sister who loves reading novels say that there is a type of novel where the protagonist can find the other person through pheromones, which is roughly what you mean."

Shao Muyan gave a soft "hmm".

"Actually, Shao Yun inherited this trait from me."

He met Yu Yan's wide eyes again and chuckled, "Before my sister adopted him, several families expressed their willingness to adopt Yunyun, but he frowned and refused, making them very unhappy, thinking that he disliked them. I was like that when I was a child. I was young and didn't know how to hide my emotions. When I smelled something that clashed with me, I would naturally frown."

Yu Yan suddenly laughed; she found this characteristic quite cute.

This is certainly a way to protect yourself.

She also believed in magnetic fields, but she didn't feel them as strongly as Shao Muyan and Shao Yun.

“It wasn’t until my sister went to the orphanage and saw Yunyun that Yunyun felt comfortable and then made a request to my sister.”

Shao Muyan paused: "The reason I think Mei Nan isn't Yunyun's biological mother is twofold: first, I feel uncomfortable when I'm near her; second, Yunyun has interacted with Mei Nan but hasn't shown any interest in getting close to her. In fact, when I mention Mei Nan, his first reaction is to frown. Without asking, I know we feel the same way."

Yu Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly. Is it really that amazing?

She understood what Uncle Yan meant. If his and Mei Nan's magnetic fields were incompatible, he would never have had a relationship with Mei Nan that day, no matter what. As for Yunyun, it was even less likely.

If he was born to Mei Nan, why would he argue with his own mother?

"If it weren't for Mei Nan."

Yu Yan looked up at Shao Muyan, "Could it be someone Mei Nan knows?"

After a long pause, Shao Muyan shook his head again.

Then it's even more impossible to know.

—

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the Spring Festival is approaching.

Yu Yan and Shao Muyan continued to participate in teaching work, attend meetings, write papers, apply for projects, and conduct experiments in a routine manner.

Even without daily chores, their work is very busy, and when they are busy, they don't have time for anything else.

There was no response from Mei Nan's side.

It can't be said that there was no activity at all. With the successful research on the chip, Mei Nan also became famous in the industry and became quite popular.

Xiang Jingheng did not hide Mei Nan's talent; in fact, he even helped promote her and took her everywhere he went. Mei Nan also changed her previous low-key lifestyle, appearing at business parties and scientific seminars.

Some people also discovered that Mei Nan and Yu Yan were college classmates, calling them two golden flowers in the scientific research community.

The scientific research community, which had been severely affected by Gan Xiaoxing's frequent scandals, has once again become prosperous.

Female scientists are gradually being noticed and are increasingly being recognized and given more opportunities to be recognized.

The peaceful yet busy days were soon disrupted.

On Christmas Eve, Shao Muyan received a call from an unknown number. It was a woman's voice, sounding tentative: "Excuse me, are you Professor Shao?"

Shao Muyan was grading student papers, a pair of glasses perched on his nose, and said calmly, "I am. Who is this?"

"I am Shao Yun's mother."
