Chapter 107 Open Your Heart-1
When Meng Yanchen pushed open the door of 2602, only a floor lamp was on in the living room.
There was a lamp that Fan Shengmei left on for him, a scene he had imagined countless times in his dreams.
Although the timing is not right, the scene before him still makes him feel warm and excited.
Fan Shengmei immediately stood up from the sofa, and her eyes suddenly tightened when she saw the redness and swelling on his forehead.
"Did your aunt do it?"
She stepped forward quickly, her fingertips hovering above the wound but not daring to touch it.
Meng Yanchen smiled bitterly and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head.
"Um."
His voice was muffled, and he opened his arms and held her in his arms.
"Let me hold you for a while."
Fan Shengmei froze for a moment, but ultimately did not push him away. She could feel his tiredness.
After a long moment, she gently broke free and asked, "Where is the medicine box?"
"Second layer of the entrance cabinet."
She took out the medicine box, dipped a cotton swab in iodine, and pressed it on his wound with increased force.
"You are not honest and you are cheating on both sides."
Fan Shengmei stared at him, but unconsciously relaxed the strength in her hands.
"Should."
Meng Yanchen took a deep breath, but smiled and accepted the punishment.
"Well, you deserve it."
He pulled her to sit on the sofa, his expression becoming serious.
"It's all my fault, but you're the one who's been wronged."
His thumb stroked the beating pulse on her wrist. "Whether it's about Xu Qin before or about my mother today, I owe you a formal apology and explanation."
Fan Shengmei lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyes, and did not respond.
"I thought I had everything under control, but I didn't expect two things to happen one after another."
Meng Yanchen smiled helplessly, "You're just too likable. Ms. Fu is even faster than I thought."
He tentatively touched her fingertips. "We've been in a cold war for so long. Have you calmed down? Are you still going to punish me? Can you give me a chance to apologize and explain?"
He stared into her eyes. "If possible, can we solve them one by one? If there's anything you want me to explain first, or if you have any questions, please tell me."
He solemnly promised, "I promise to tell the truth, tell it all, without reservation."
"I can understand why you hid Xu Qin's affairs from me."
Fan Shengmei suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Just like I didn't want to tell you about my family back then. We both wanted to leave a perfect impression on each other."
She raised her head, her eyes clear. "Actually, before we were together, Xu Qin came to see me alone at her house. She said you weren't siblings, and she also said a lot about how good you were to her. Plus, later on, she was always targeting me, intentionally or not, so I had some vague suspicions in my mind."
"only,"
Her voice dropped. "We are so beautiful together, so beautiful that I try to ignore these speculations and details."
She laughed at herself and said, "You know, I always like to escape in some aspects."
"If I were in my twenties and just starting a relationship, I'd probably be asking a lot of questions."
She looked at Meng Yanchen, "But, Meng Yanchen... I'm no longer at the age where I'm too serious about love. Besides, in our subsequent interactions, you've been so good that I've thought those speculations were just unnecessary worries."
"It must have been my meeting her again. Her words completely ignited this bomb that I had ignored."
She said softly, "There's still a difference in the impact of having your own guesses and having them confirmed in person."
Her voice trembled slightly. "But I still overestimated myself. It turns out... I don't just love money."
"It was my fault."
Meng Yanchen pulled her into his arms, his voice trembling.
"I should be honest with you, but I'm also an ordinary person. I'm not the perfect Meng Yanchen in your mind who can handle anything. I also have my weaknesses and my fears. I'm afraid of losing you and afraid that you'll look at me strangely."
"I personally dismantled the original butterfly wall. After she got engaged to Song Yan, I dismantled the butterfly wall and took over Guo Kun."
"Before she hurt you, to me, Xu Qin was just a family member that I felt I should take care of, nothing more."
He took a deep breath. "She's the daughter of my father's comrade-in-arms. Ever since she came to our house at the age of ten, my parents have doted on her like their own daughter. We've witnessed and accompanied each other's growth. This is a reality I can't change."
His thumb gently stroked her knuckles. "I can't deny the past, but that doesn't mean it will remain in my life now or even in the future."
He stared into her eyes and said, "Please believe me, you are the only one in my life now and in the future."
"My kindness to you comes from the bottom of my heart, just because that person is you."
His voice was gentle but firm. "It's not anyone's projection, nor is it a lingering habit. I will do my best to eliminate everything you mind or dislike."
He gently cupped her face and said, "Whether it's the cereal factory or the specimens, I can correct everything you don't like. Give me a chance and see how I perform?"
"What did the cereal factory do wrong?"
Fan Shengmei sniffed, her voice tinged with tears, "It's a huge factory with people waiting to be supported. And it's been getting better and better since you took over. It's making a lot of money, so why are you so stingy with money?"
Meng Yanchen looked at her red nose, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and he chuckled,
"Did Chen Mingyu tell you?"
Fan Shengmei nodded while sobbing, tears still hanging on her eyelashes.
"Okay, well done, give me a raise."
Meng Yanchen breathed a sigh of relief and asked tentatively, "I've already asked Qin Yu to prepare the equity transfer agreement for the cereal factory. I'm just waiting for your approval. You can take over."
Fan Shengmei stared at him without saying anything.
"What else do you mind? Tell me."
Meng Yanchen added, "I did like studying insects when I was a kid, but my path was planned by my parents, so I had no choice but to return to business."
He laughed at himself, "It turns out that smart people do well everywhere - they find good girlfriends and manage Guokun well."
He carefully stroked Fan Shengmei's wrist. "So those specimens you see aren't just because of her. Sometimes when I want to be quiet or go back to my childhood, I'll study my childhood hobbies."
He said seriously, "If you mind, I won't touch you anymore. Guokun is getting busier and busier. He has less time to spend with you and doesn't have the energy."
Fan Shengmei's nose was red from crying, she took a piece of paper and wiped her nose vigorously.
"If you don't touch it, what will happen to the lab I gave you? Those instruments and equipment cost me nearly a million, and now I'm short of funds. I'm still short of more than 300."
She glared at him. "Zhou Xun had just told me about the replication model for promotion, and you came and wiped out my investment."
Meng Yanchen chuckled, "Okay, my bad."
He leaned closer to her and said, "Can I vote? Or... I'll meet Zhou Xun alone and ask him to give you some private lessons?"
"I don't want you to vote!"
Fan Shengmei turned her face away proudly, "This is mine."
She paused, her voice softening. "If you like, continue your research. My lab won't go to waste."
She raised her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, returning to her coquettish and arrogant demeanor. "I'm not someone who can't afford to play. How can love be more important than money? Besides, playing with bugs is much better than playing with those messy things. Otherwise, you'll have to quarrel with me in the future and you won't even have a place to stay."
When Meng Yanchen heard her say "later", he finally relaxed completely and couldn't help but hug her in his arms.
Fan Shengmei leaned against his chest, her voice muffled, "You accepted the truest me, and I don't want you to give up everything to love me."
"Thanks,"
Meng Yanchen's throat tightened, and he lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.
"We'll have lots of new memories, and we'll be able to give new meaning to everything, okay?"
Fan Shengmei nodded in his arms, and in revenge, wiped her snot and tears on his expensive suit.
Meng Yanchen just smiled indulgently and let her do whatever she wanted.
He waited until she had stopped making a fuss before asking softly, "So, can we move on to the next topic?"
His voice was filled with laughter. "How do you conquer Ms. Fu Wenying, the one you admire the most?"
