Chapter 196 Lock the Door
On the first day of work after the New Year's Day holiday, He Xiaowei secretly came to Yu Huan to inquire.
"How does it feel for an ugly daughter-in-law to meet her parents-in-law?"
Yu Huan corrected him, "First of all, I'm not ugly. Secondly, I'm not your parents-in-law."
He Xiaowei was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. "Just get to the point. My personal time is very precious right now."
Yu Huan didn't keep the secret and said sincerely, "Actually, the Meng family isn't as scary as I thought. His family members are all very nice and take good care of me."
He Xiaowei chuckled, raised his hand, and was about to pat her on the head.
Yu Huan immediately hugged his head and dodged, causing He Xiaowei's hands to hang in the air.
"Sorry, my whole body belongs to Mr. Meng exclusively now, no one else can touch me."
He Xiaowei rolled his eyes and took his hand back. "Do you want me to buy you some women's rules to read?"
Yu Huan shook his finger. "No, no, don't do to others what you don't want done to you. I asked him not to have close contact with the opposite sex other than his immediate family, so naturally I have to do the same."
"Okay, okay." He Xiaowei interrupted her impatiently and got straight to the point. "You should also be careful. The Meng family isn't as easy to get along with as you think. Not to mention Meng Han's uncle and aunt, even his parents are no pushovers."
Yu Huan was puzzled. "Really? But his parents were very warm to me yesterday, asking about my well-being. They were much nicer than my parents."
"Because they're smarter than your parents. Do they know what it means to cut with a soft knife without bleeding? His parents are the typical smiling tigers. They appear to be caring about you, but in fact, they despise you so much behind your back."
Yu Huan didn't quite agree with what he said, "No way, I don't feel disliked at all."
He Xiaowei twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered again, "Of course you can't feel it, because Meng Han warned you in advance."
"Do you think they respect Meng Han? No, they just respect power. In the Meng family, marriage is a means to consolidate status. There are only two types of people who can choose to marry independently. One is the one who holds great power and no one can control you. The other is the one who voluntarily gives up power and just wants to be a parasite."
"You should have seen the second type yesterday, Meng Chunsheng. That kid has been sticking to Meng Han since he was a kid, content to be a rich second-generation who lives a life of idleness and waiting for death. His parents gave up on him a long time ago."
"The first one is Meng Han. Meng Han didn't want to be with you before because he didn't have enough say at that time. Even if he took you back, you would be ridiculed along with him."
"Anyway, just live your life with Meng Han. Don't interact with his family, and don't confide in them, even his parents."
He Xiaowei's words made Yu Huan feel a little uncomfortable.
She originally thought that Meng Han had a hard time in the Meng family simply because he was not loved by Old Man Meng at home, but in her own small family, he must be the most favored, after all, he was so outstanding.
This reminded her of her sister, who was also such a dazzling person, but secretly suffered tremendous pressure from her family.
It’s just that they choose different ways to release stress. One is to endure and restrain, and the other is to indulge secretly.
If Yu Wei hadn't had the accident, she would definitely be very outstanding now, right?
Unfortunately, there is no if, and there will always be many regrets in this world.
After get off work, Yu Huan suddenly didn’t want to go home and wanted to see Meng Han very much.
Meng Han has a meeting today and is still in the meeting at this time, so he has to work overtime tonight.
She thought about it, packed a dinner that Meng Han usually liked to eat, and drove to the group headquarters.
This was the first time Yu Huan came to the headquarters after leaving the company, and he came in this capacity.
The person who came down to pick up Yu Huan was Meng Han's secretary. The two had met several times, and mostly chatted on messaging apps.
Every day, the secretary would send Meng Han’s work schedule to Yu Huan. In addition, he would take photos of where Meng Han went and what he did and send them to her.
Yu Huan felt a little embarrassed at first, always feeling that this behavior made her seem like she was meddling too much. She was also afraid that others would talk about Meng Han being a henpecked man, so she told her secretary not to send it.
As a result, the secretary said that these were all instructed by Meng Han himself and must be sent.
Yu Huan could only be "forced" to accept it.
Compared to the branch office, the headquarters is as magnificent as a kingdom. The entire building belongs to the group, and the upper floors have their own independent elevators.
Yu Huan followed the secretary into Meng Han's office and then left, leaving Yu Huan alone looking around the office.
Actually, there was nothing much to see, it was still Meng Han's usual style, but she just felt a little excited.
I can’t tell where this excitement comes from, I just always feel like doing something.
When I couldn't find the source of my emotions, I suddenly received a message from City X.
Chu Jing: "Ever since you left that day, I've been busy and haven't had time to contact you. I saw your Moments yesterday and you were with that person?"
Yu Huan posted a picture of Meng Han’s profile on his Moments yesterday. He didn’t say anything, just added a grinning emoticon.
Handsome boyfriends are meant to be shown off, and she is no exception.
As expected, this photo attracted the attention of elementary school classmates who hadn't been in touch for 800 years, and they all asked to see the front of the photo.
There is no reason in the world to use your boyfriend to make trouble. Yu Huan ignored those unreasonable requests, showed off secretly and then stopped.
But she didn't expect that even Chu Jing, who was far away in City X, was blown out by her.
Yu Huan quickly replied: "Hey, yes."
Chu Jing: "I think you compromised too quickly. You should have kept him on hold for a while longer. I kept him on hold for almost half a year, and you've stopped in just a short time."
Yu Huan: "Sister, there's nothing I can do. My boyfriend is so handsome, I can't resist him."
Chu Jing: "...As handsome as my husband?"
Yu Huan: "Personally, I think he's more handsome than your husband."
Chu Jing: "I think my husband is more handsome."
Yu Huan: "That's your subjective opinion, not objective enough."
Chu Jing: "If you admit that my husband is more handsome, I will give you a set of wedding photos."
Yu Huan smiled while holding the phone and replied, "My boyfriend is not as handsome as your husband. Mr. Shen is the most handsome!"
After replying to the message, I suddenly felt the urge to pee, so I put my phone on the table and got up to go to the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Meng Han standing in front of the sofa.
Her face lit up with joy, and just as she was about to step forward, she saw her cell phone in his hand.
Yu Huan: “…”
Meng Han looked up and shook her phone between his fingers. "Explain?"
Yu Huan immediately started cursing herself in her heart. They said online that chat history with friends must be deleted! Why had she forgotten?!
He subconsciously wanted to explain, but when he looked up and met Meng Han's eyes, he became timid again, lowered his head, and spoke honestly.
"That's all your fault. You clearly like me, but you won't admit it. I have no other choice but to do that."
"Who asked you that?" Meng Han interrupted her. "What I'm asking is, just because of a set of wedding photos, you changed your tone and praised someone else's husband. What? Is it because I can't afford the wedding photos?"
Yu Huan was stunned by the question for a moment, and after a few seconds, she reacted and immediately hugged Meng Han. "No way, I just wanted to coax her because I didn't want to continue arguing with her. In my heart, you are the most handsome! The most handsome in the universe!"
Meng Han lowered his eyes to look at her, and couldn't help but smile.
It's so cute, I can't be angry at all.
Seeing him smile, Yu Huan continued to hug him and rub against him, "I thought you were angry because I deliberately kept you hanging before."
Meng Han hugged her back, kissed her on the forehead, leaned over and rested his head on her shoulder, sighing softly.
"How could I blame you? I should be thanking you."
"Thank me? Thank me for what?" Yu Huan looked at him curiously.
Meng Han met her gaze, curled his lips slightly, and whispered, "Thank you for not giving up on me."
Yu Huan couldn't explain what he was feeling. Dizziness? Joy? Excitement?
She just felt that the feeling she had when she entered the office just now appeared again, even stronger.
But this time, she knew where the source was and what to do.
She spoke softly and called out a name that she hadn't called out for a long time, a name that belonged exclusively to Meng Han.
Meng Han's pupils trembled slightly, and then he heard the most exciting words coming out of those soft lips.
"Lock the door."
