Chapter 146 Overwhelming with Family Feelings
From the moment Xiang Jingheng appeared, Yu Yan's brows never relaxed.
My mood plummeted to rock bottom.
She stood at the door, not wanting to go in at all, not wanting to see that face.
Looking at Shao Muyan's face again, he saw that he had been punched on the cheekbone when he was rubbing against Xiang Jingheng, leaving a bruise that was still quite noticeable even after rubbing it with an egg.
Such a beautiful face, it really is...
Seeing Yu Yan staring intently at him, Shao Muyan held the umbrella in one hand and touched his face with the other, "What's wrong with your face?"
"It's blooming."
Yu Yan reached out and poked the wound on Shao Muyan's face. Shao Muyan hissed softly. He didn't feel much pain when he wasn't touched, but it still hurt when he was touched.
"Why are you arguing with him? If a dog bites you, do you bite it back? Isn't that a sign of a lack of common sense?"
Yu Yan had been holding her anger in, and now she couldn't hold it in any longer, so she started berating him incessantly.
Shao Muyan humbly accepted the answer, initially responding with "Yes, yes, yes," but as he listened, he unconsciously began to smile.
Even Yu Yan herself probably doesn't realize how strong her sense of family is when she talks about him.
I used to call him "Uncle Yan," which was respectful but also distant.
Now even Uncle Yan doesn't call him that anymore; people are starting to say he's not quite right in the head... Shao Muyan thinks this is a huge improvement!
"..." Yu Yan stopped mid-sentence, looking at the smile on Shao Muyan's face, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Could it be that Xiang Jingheng really damaged his brain?
She shouldn't have stood by and watched. She should have grabbed Xiang Jingheng by the collar and kicked him out. Uncle Yan can always stand by her side, so of course she can too!
Shao Muyan brushed her hair, which was flying wildly with excitement, back and smiled, "Take your time, I love to hear it."
Yu Yan: "..."
She had a speechless expression on her face, as if asking, "Are you alright?"
Shao Muyan rubbed her head.
"Okay, don't be angry."
Shao Muyan said, "Xiang Jingheng is deliberately picking a fight because he wants to be beaten. Once he's vented his anger, it's better to let it out than to keep it inside. But don't listen to or believe anything he says."
Recalling the outrageous things Xiang Jingheng had said, Shao Muyan's expression darkened further.
He explained to Yu Yan with a serious expression, "First of all, I have no hidden illnesses, I'm in perfect health..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Yan's lips twitched.
Shao Muyan paused, "Hmm?"
Yu Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"...What are you laughing at?" Shao Muyan looked at her, and the serious atmosphere was suddenly broken.
Yu Yan composed herself: "I wasn't laughing."
"I saw you smile," Shao Muyan persisted.
Yu Yan couldn't avoid it, so she had to admit, "Okay, I laughed. But I believe you're in great shape and there's definitely nothing wrong with you."
"..." Shao Muyan gritted his teeth as he listened, thinking to himself: I really want to prove it.
Seeing his expression, Yu Yan felt inexplicably guilty and knew she couldn't continue discussing this topic.
"You said first, what about second?"
Shao Muyan continued, "Secondly, I don't have any unforgettable white moonlight."
He put on a serious face again. "I haven't hidden anything from you. I have indeed been investigating the truth of that night. It's not just about finding that girl, but also about finding out who is behind this. I can't eat or sleep if I can't find them."
"I do have a knot in my heart. If I don't understand this matter, it's like there's a string hanging around my neck that will jump out and tighten around me from time to time. I hate this uncomfortable feeling, that's all."
Yu Yan nodded.
She could actually understand the feeling he was expressing.
They are both people who don't tolerate any flaws, and they are used to getting to the bottom of things and clarifying matters. They are pure, but also meticulous.
Yu Yan had indeed known about this for a long time, but hearing it from Xiang Jingheng today completely changed the tone. Although Yu Yan knew that Xiang Jingheng was deliberately stirring things up, she was still affected and felt uncomfortable.
But this is not Uncle Yan's fault, and she should not take her anger out on him.
"I'll investigate with you."
Yu Yan spoke up, saying to Shao Muyan, "Whenever something happens, it always leaves a trace. Since this is a knot in your heart, let's untie it together. It's not a big deal."
Shao Muyan paused for a moment, his gaze fixed on Yu Yan's face.
She spoke casually, yet with unwavering conviction.
She wanted to tell him that the matter wasn't as serious as Jing Heng had made it out to be, and that she wouldn't really distance herself from him and never see him again for the sake of some so-called "white moonlight."
He was also told: Since it's something you care about, then it's important and needs to be addressed.
Don't worry, I'll help you solve it.
Shao Muyan is not someone who cannot handle things; on the contrary, he is too capable of handling things and too used to handling things. When he encounters a problem, his first thought is how to solve it himself, and he has never thought of relying on anyone else.
I am not used to being dependent, nor do I like being dependent.
But this depends on the person.
When Yu Yan told him that she wanted to help him solve the problem and share the burden, Shao Muyan's heart melted, and a warm current flowed from his heart to his limbs.
Xiang Jingheng was utterly devastated by the old lady's words, and he had never felt so insecure in his life.
The old lady spoke softly and slowly, but her words were more hurtful than anyone else's!
Throughout the entire conversation, she conveyed only one meaning—you are not good enough for our Xiaoyan.
We were never good enough for you before, but we were blind back then and married you.
Now that we've finally escaped the fire pit, only a fool would jump back in.
Moreover, Xiaoyan has already found her true love, and you are out of the running!
As soon as Xiang Jingheng stepped onto the corridor, he saw Shao Muyan stretch out his arm and tightly embrace Yu Yan, and Yu Yan... did not push him away.
Bang!
A bullet struck him squarely between the eyebrows.
He was pale, his fingers were icy cold, and he could clearly hear the sound of his heart breaking.
He wasn't actually afraid that Shao Muyan would pursue Yu Yan with him. Men are hunters, born competitors. Even though Shao Muyan's family background was better than his, Xiang Jingheng didn't feel inferior at all.
Who isn't a chosen one of heaven?
The stronger the opponent, the more fun the game.
But... what he feared most was that Yu Yan would accept Shao Muyan.
As Xiang Jingheng got to know Yu Yan better, he realized that her heart was actually very small, only able to hold one person.
He used to be inside her, but after the divorce, she gradually kicked him out of her heart and closed the door to her heart. He tried very hard to open that door, but Yu Yan kept it tightly shut and refused to give him a second chance!
Now, Shao Muyan opened her heart and stepped inside.
This also means that he has no chance.
Xiang Jingheng didn't realize how long his phone had been ringing before he snapped out of his daze. He took out his phone and mechanically answered the call without even looking at the caller ID.
Mei Nan called, her voice filled with excitement: "President Xiang, our chip has been successfully developed!"
