Chapter 148 Some things are better left unsaid.
Yu Yan's expression was so serious that Shao Muyan was taken aback by her question. He raised his hand and lightly tapped her forehead, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yu Yan touched her forehead and muttered, "I just feel that even if you have another child, it might not be as similar to you as Yunyun."
Shao Muyan smiled helplessly: "Who would I have a child with? With you?"
The two of them each grabbed a corner of the blanket. Shao Muyan said this offhand without thinking, and immediately realized his mistake, looking at Yu Yan.
Yu Yan clutched the corner of the blanket and didn't look up, but you could see that the back of her ears were red.
Shao Muyan, who originally wanted to apologize, felt his face flush when he saw Yu Yan like this. He slowly moved his hand along the bed sheet and touched Yu Yan's hand.
The moment their fingertips touched, Yu Yan felt her heart skip a beat.
Perhaps it was because her hands were too cold, while Shao Muyan's hands were inexplicably hot. When Yu Yan looked at them, she felt that her own hands were so small in comparison, and they were so easily held in his palm.
"Uncle."
Shao Yun's voice rang out at the door, and Yu Yan was startled, quickly pulling her hand back.
"...Come in, Yunyun."
Shao Yun came in to get his schoolbag. As he picked it up, he looked up at Yu Yan and frowned. "Auntie, why is your face so red?"
Yu Yan raised the back of her hand and touched her face. "Really?"
Shao Yun then looked at Shao Muyan and said, "Uncle, your face too."
Before Shao Muyan could speak, Shao Yun said nervously, "You're not having an allergic reaction, are you... Mother-in-law!"
He hurried out to find the old lady and asked if she had any allergy medication at home.
Yu Yan and Shao Muyan, who didn't have an allergic reaction, were speechless. They tried to cool down their faces quickly, but they seemed to be getting redder and redder...
Some things are better left unsaid.
Once it's broken, it can't be taken back.

Xiang Jingheng returned to Shangzhou overnight, but instead of going home, he went directly to the research lab.
He came back this time with a grudge on his mind.
It seems that everyone thinks he pursued Yu Yan again because he valued her research abilities, and that he is not good enough for her now. He wants to prove that even without Yu Yan, he can still gain a foothold in the research community with his own research lab.
He wanted to prove that he was a perfect match for Yu Yan at any time.
Mei Nan knew Xiang Jingheng would return, so she waited for him in the research room until she almost fell asleep.
"Mei Nan".
Xiang Jingheng brought back a chill that woke Mei Nan, but seeing the person she had been longing for day and night, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed. "Young Master, you're back."
When no one else is around, she still habitually calls him "Young Master," as if it were a form of intimacy between them.
Xiang Jingheng used to correct her repeatedly, but when that failed, he stopped caring.
"Let me take a look at the chip."
Xiang Jingheng kept thinking about this matter the whole way. Mei Nan's phone call saved him to some extent; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have had the strength to come back.
Despite his heartbreak, he still had a career to support his broken heart.
Mei Nan has always been someone Xiang Jingheng can trust in terms of expertise. She methodically debugged the equipment and explained several sets of data about the chip to Xiang Jingheng.
Mei Nan's research direction is the same as Yu Yan's, both dedicated to the development of ultra-low power devices. Although their chip performance is not as good as WD Labs' chips, it is a huge breakthrough for current equipment.
This at least proves that the current research direction is correct and that some results have been achieved.
"Very good." Xiang Jingheng was very satisfied with Mei Nan's work. With the chip successfully developed, at least the first batch of products from Xiang's Technology and their new company were ready for market.
Xiang Jingheng rarely praises people; the three words "very good" are extremely high praise!
Mei Nan was overjoyed. She had never heard the young master praise Gan Xiaoxing like this before. Now that she had received such praise, it made her happier than winning any science and technology award.
Just as Xiang Jingheng was wondering if he had been too stingy with his words and was about to say something more, he looked up and saw Mei Nan's eyes, which were filled with stars and were sparkling brightly.
Suddenly, he couldn't say anything.

During dinner, Yu Yan noticed that Xiang Chu was much more lively than before.
With Shao Yun by his side, his appetite increased significantly. He ate a whole bowl of rice. There was nothing on the table that he was allergic to. He ate vegetables and meat without being picky at all.
When the old lady served him food, he was very polite, saying, "Thank you, Grandma."
It's clear that Xiang Chu relies heavily on Shao Yun, always following him like a little tail. After dinner, when Shao Yun gets up to clear the dishes, Xiang Chu helps him clean up as well, being very diligent.
Yu Yan and Shao Muyan didn't let the two elders get involved. After tidying up, Shao Muyan started to brew the Chinese medicine for the two of them.
Traditional Chinese medicine is really bitter. Even before drinking it, the smell alone is enough to make you feel the bitterness.
Shao Muyan poured the medicine from the two medicine pots into two bowls. Looking at the dark medicine, the two looked at each other and made a firm decision: "Let's go."
He picked up the bowl but didn't move it, waiting for almost five minutes.
The old lady outside couldn't bear to watch any longer and floated in, saying, "Drink it all in one go, or you'll have to reheat it if it cools down."
Yu Yan and Shao Muyan responded simultaneously, taking a deep breath.
"For the sake of my health," Shao Muyan said.
Yu Yan: "Cheers!"
The two men clinked their bowls together and, as if drinking a farewell toast, tilted their heads back and drank the medicine in their bowls with a righteous air.
Xiang Chu stood at the door and grinned, saying to Shao Yun, "It's too bitter, how can anyone drink it?"
Shao Yun glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to take medicine, you have to take good care of your body, maintain a balanced diet, and eat more vegetables."
"I know, I know," Xiang Chu replied obediently. "I ate a lot of vegetables tonight, so my nutrition is definitely balanced!"
Their mouths were full of bitterness... Shao Muyan and Yu Yan frowned and quickly picked up the honey water that had been prepared in advance. They drank more than half a cup to get rid of the taste in their mouths.
Shao Muyan discussed with Yu Yan, "Should we go up the mountain and ask Doctor Su if there are any pills that can replace these Chinese medicines?"
Yu Yan nodded vigorously, "I think it's a good idea!"
He hesitated again, "Would Dr. Su be willing?"
Shao Muyan turned to look at Shao Yun and Xiang Chu, who were playing in the yard, and discussed with Yu Yan, "Bring the two boys along when we go. Doctor Su likes children."
Yu Yan sighed softly: "I can't bear to part with the child, but I can't get the medicine."

Xiang Jingheng took Mei Nan to an Italian restaurant to celebrate the successful development of the chip.
As Mei Nan sat down, she remembered something and asked Jing Heng, "Didn't Xiao Chu go to Meisuli with you? Why didn't she come back with you?"
Xiang Jingheng sighed symbolically, "Now that you have an older brother, you don't need me, your father, anymore."
Xiang Chu said she wanted to play with Shao Yun and didn't want to come back.
"Oh, I see."
Mei Nan felt a slight heaviness in her heart as she thought of Shao Yun.
I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to visit the welfare home in a long time.
