Yu Meng could not take it anymore, she immediately threw her slippers at Shang Hui's face.

"It's delicious."

"Huh?" Yu Meng shook her head helplessly. "It's just a bowl of noodles …"

"It tastes very …"

Shang Hui seemed to be unable to find any suitable words to describe this feeling. His common sense of life had restricted him.

Yu Meng smiled as she spoke up for him, "What you want to say is strength, right?"

"That's right, this is the feeling."

"Who's so amazing that they can cook noodles just like me?"

In truth, Yu Meng had only disguised herself to praise her.

But Shang Hui answered truthfully.

"My mom."

Shang Hui had never mentioned his family in front of Yu Meng, he had also asked around to find out more about the Shang family, but the information he received was very little, he had no channels to understand them, so it was impossible for his to find out how flourishing their family was, or how they could cover the sky with their hands.

Only people with ties between black and white could block the news so well.

However, in all the limited information, only Shang Hui and his father's deeds of life seemed to have appeared, and no one ever mentioned his mother.

"Your mother?" Yu Meng followed up by asking, "What a mysterious woman."

Shang Hui laughed. His smile looked relaxed but Yu Meng still felt that it was a little bit bitter.

"I also think she's mysterious."

"Huh?"

"My mother died when I was very young." Shang Hui was as calm as ever, as if the one who died wasn't his mother, but was an ordinary passerby.

"Maybe he's dead." Shang Hui said: "Or maybe he ran away, who knows."

"That's your mom, how can you speak so easily?"

"Maybe it's my mom, maybe it's not." Shang Hui's words were slurred, causing everyone to be greatly shocked.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Yu Meng frowned. "Rich families are really chaotic."

"My dad has countless women in his life, and he also has many children. Maybe my mom gave birth to me but was unable to be with my dad for other reasons. It's normal for my dad to find a similar woman to be my mom."

Yu Meng: "…"

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shang Hui looked at Yu Meng's stiff face and couldn't help but laugh, "There are a lot of gloom that you don't understand in this world."

She had been protected too well by her father and Tan Yubai since she was young, to the point that she didn't know the various rules of the adult world until now.

Yu Meng frowned and asked, "But, aren't you the only son of the Shang family?"

"My dad was afraid he would create his own assets in the future, and because his sons fought over them and broke up, he sent away all his children, leaving me alone."

Yu Meng was speechless. Such a father was truly cold-blooded. He could even abandon his own son.

"Then why did I choose you and leave no one else behind?"

Shang Hui laughed, "Of course it's because I'm powerful."

Yu Mengzhan glanced at him.

"You sure are ambitious." Rising and falling in such a clan was not something that an ordinary person could accept.

Yu Meng continued, "What about your other siblings? "Where did you go after leaving the Shang family?"

"Probably to take charge of the branches of other countries, or maybe not. I'm not sure."

Yu Meng was speechless.

"Look at how pitiful my childhood was. Shouldn't you give me more love?" Shang Hui shamelessly moved closer, wanting to grab Yu Meng's hand.

Yu Meng quickly moved to the other side of the sofa to keep a distance from Shang Hui.

"No, if you want to love, then what right do you have to care about me? Go find another woman."

"But I only like you."

"It's strange that a cold-blooded animal like you would like others."

Shang Hui suddenly stopped talking. His beautiful eyes were reflecting the deep shadows of Yu Meng.

As Yu Meng watched, her heart suddenly trembled. An indescribable nervousness forced her to turn her head away from him.

"Right." She thought of something that could be used to cover up her awkwardness: "What was the agreement you talked about with Du Qinyi today?"

Shang Hui told Yu Meng about the deal between the Du Family and the Shang Clan back then.

"So that's how it is." Yu Meng thought about it, then said, "Then … Tonight's dinner will be treated as my reward for helping me out during the day. Now we're even. "

"You really want to draw a clear line between us at all times."

Yu Meng roared in her heart, "That's not nonsense! To be entangled with such an experienced person like you, why would I not even know how I died! "

"Then how will you repay tomorrow's favor?"

"Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow, Du Qinyi will meet with me to discuss some matters regarding the agreement." Shang Hui bought a secret, "If you beg me, I can bring you."

"Tomorrow..." Originally, she had planned to buy the storage ring with Tan Yubai. However, since that agreement was related to the future of Yu's's company, she couldn't help but to also fly.

Forget it, Yu Meng. Since Tan Yubai missed her appointment tonight, she didn't care too much about it.

"Take me with you. I'll cook noodles for you tomorrow."

Shang Hui's expression was moved and a little hesitant. It was very obvious that his original plan would definitely take advantage of Yu Meng, but the temptation of the noodles also moved his heart.

"It's fine if you don't agree." Yu Meng stood up and prepared to head upstairs. "I'll think of another way."

"Well, where am I going to sleep tonight?"

Shang Hui prepared to follow Yu Meng upstairs.

"There's a guest room on the first floor." Yu Meng stood on the third step and turned to stop Shang Hui. "The one directly opposite the hallway is the one you are looking at."

The night wind was still and silent. The window of the second floor's bedroom was not locked, and the flowers by the window were blown all over the place. She carefully arranged them and looked at the half crescent moon in the sky.

There was still no news of him in the phone.

On the other side, similarly under the crescent moon, was Tan Yubai who was sitting beside a sickbed.

When he looked at Shen Nian who was unconscious on the bed, there were no longer any ripples in his eyes. He had exhausted all of his patience, and his previous feelings had been soothed.

Originally, he had planned to go back to eat with Yu Meng tonight. However, something suddenly happened on the other side of the bed, and the bottle that Shen Nian was injecting air into was injected with the liquid which flowed into Shen Nian's blood vessels, almost killing her.

As the hospital had made a big mistake, the dean had even apologized to Tan Yubai and gave him all kinds of compensation clauses. He hoped that Tan Yubai, as the only family member, would not blow this matter up.

Tan Yubai did not really plan to do anything. He sent the Principal away without even looking at the terms.

As long as Shen Nian was fine, she didn't have the strength to cause other trouble.

In this world, other than things related to Yu Meng, he could compromise on anything else.

Shen Nian's matter had kept her busy in the hospital for the latter half of the night. When she thought about her promise with Yu Meng, it was already early in the morning.

Remembering that she must have been asleep, he did not call to wake her.

In any case, they had to meet the next day, so it would be more convenient for him to explain.

Tan Yubai was standing on the balcony smoking. The moonlight shone on the side of his face, making him seem even more cold and skinny. Inside the lotus pond in the courtyard, there were scattered lotus flowers that were half-blooming.

After finishing the cigarette, he dusted the cigarette off his sleeve and returned to the ward.

Shen Nian didn't know when she woke up.

Her face was as pale as ever. Her long stay in bed seemed to have made her a little edematous. Her hands and feet were chubby, but there was not a shred of flesh on her face.

Her black green eyes revealed a dense sickness, her gaze landed on Tan Yubai's body, and she became slightly alert.

Tan Yubai sighed and sat beside her.

"You're awake?" As usual, he asked her, "Drink some water, are you hungry? There's porridge I bought this afternoon. I'll go heat it up at Dr. Chen's office."

Shen Nian had not eaten or drank since the afternoon.

Her lips were very dry and there were layers of skin on them. Her voice was hoarse as if she had been grinded with sand. "Drink enough."

Tan Yubai carefully helped her up and tested the temperature of the water before passing the glass to her.

He watched her finish her drink, then opened his mouth as she took the empty glass.

"I'll have a nurse take care of you tomorrow."

Shen Nian's voice trembled slightly. "Tomorrow, do you have something important to do?"

"Little Meng and I are going to buy a wedding ring." Tan Yubai sat on the bed beside Shen Nian, he had already made all the preparations, all the preparations to respond to Shen Nian.

But Shen Nian was surprisingly calm.

She leaned on the headboard, looking down at Tan Yubai with her brows furrowed, and asked him: "Are you planning to remarry?"

Tan Yubai nodded.

"Yes."

Shen Nian said a few words of congratulations, and the rest of the words were stuck in her throat, left there for her to see.

There were some words that had more weight than what he said. Since Tan Yubai was smart, he naturally understood what the loss in Shen Nian's eyes meant.

Her loss meant that she could not let go.

Tan Yubai had also been thinking about this problem these past few days. He faintly had an answer in his heart, and it seemed to be the only solution.

If you want to live without fear, you have to pay back what you owe.

Tan Yubai owed Shen Nian a spear, so he had to repay her back with this spear.

After hearing Tan Yubai's decision, Shen Nian was finally so shocked that she couldn't hide her emotions, and almost couldn't sit still.

"Tan Yubai, are you crazy?" He actually wanted to shoot him.

"I'm not crazy." Tan Yubai had been calm the entire time: "I still owe you. If I'm lucky enough to survive, you and I will no longer have anything to do with each other.

Shen Nian could not help but sneer, "Tan Yubai, did you think that I would not be willing to shoot you?"

"I never thought so." Tan Yubai was tired between his brows, but he did not hesitate or dodge.

He had made up his mind to do so.

"Does Yu Meng know about this decision?" Shen Nian asked him.

"There's no need to tell her."

"Tan Yubai, you have gotten your old illness again." As she spoke till here, Shen Nian finally managed to calm down. She looked at Tan Yubai and heaved a sigh of relief.

"And now you're planning to take it on yourself. You think you've protected Yu Meng, right?"

Tan Yubai finally furrowed his brows, but did not provide any additional explanation.

Perhaps it was because the spectators knew better, but and Yu Meng's relationship was actually clearer to an outsider like Shen Nian.

If this problem didn't change, then the distance between them would only grow further and further.
