Chapter 1098: Feeling Empty (5)

Besides, the few projects she had on hand were almost all about terminal illnesses. Medicine for treating terminal illnesses could not be developed in a year or two. If she wanted to start a project, she would have to devote many years to it. Therefore, she did not want to start a research project for the time being and wanted to relax.

“I’m just going out to have fun. If I want to have fun, I’ll go out to have fun. Why else would I accept missions?” The missions in Yu Hansheng’s hands were all very dangerous. He could not let someone’s wife do them.

“I’m looking for some stimulation to my brain.” Actually, there was another important reason why Mu Huan did not want to enter the laboratory. It was the empty feeling in her heart that made her unable to lift her spirits. She felt that there was no point in doing anything. It was meaningless and she did not want to do it. She felt that she needed some stimulation.

“Just wait and see. I don’t think the Liu family will let you inherit the family fortune so easily. They might do something,” Yu Hansheng said.

“I’ll renegotiate the terms with them. Everything will be fine after that.” Mu Huan didn’t want to have any conflict with the Liu family. Liu Changfeng was a good person who treated her quite well.

Although Mr. Liu had pocketed a lot of Rui Hui’s a.s.sets during the years he controlled the company, he had indeed done a lot for Rui Hui. It could be considered as a reward for his hard work.

If she gave them more, they should be able to coexist peacefully.

“Then go ahead and talk about your inheritance.”

“The inheritance is already underway.” What Mu Huan meant was that she won’t be delayed even if she took on a mission.

Yu Hansheng was about to respond, but he suddenly thought of something and changed his mind. “Alright, I’ll give you a mission.”

The next day at the airport, in the VIP lounge.

“Initially, when we went overseas to take on missions, we couldn’t even bear to take the high-speed rail. We all took the hard seats in slow cars. Now, we’re taking the first-cla.s.s cabin to do missions. This is something we couldn’t have imagined in the past. Now that I think about it, it feels like a lifetime has pa.s.sed…” Li Meng sighed.

Li Meng came to Country Y to study as a graduate student and worked part-time as Mu Huan’s a.s.sistant.

If she came, so would Wu Xingye.

Mu Huan felt that this mission was not very dangerous, so she brought the two of them along to reminisce about their youth.

“Look at what you’re saying. It’s as if we’re old. We’re clearly only in our twenties,” Wu Xingye said. A lifetime? Their lives had just begun!

“We’re in our early twenties, but you’re in your mid-twenties!” Wu Xingye was two years older than the two of them. After the new year, he would be in his mid-twenties.

The corners of Wu Xingye’s lips twitched. “What’s wrong with being in one’s mid-twenties? That’s still considered young!”

“Young my foot! Your cla.s.smates are already fathers!” You still want to be considered a beautiful youth? What are you thinking!

“I want to be a father too, but you have to let me be one!” He couldn’t give birth to a child.

Mu Huan burst out laughing.

Li Meng: “…!!!”

After regaining her senses, she said angrily, “You want to be a father…”

Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more addicted to bickering, Mu Huan idly swept her gaze around. Just as she was about to retract her gaze and look at the information, she suddenly froze as if she had been struck by lightning.

When Li Meng asked her something, she did not respond. Li Meng noticed her abnormality and shook her. “What’s wrong, Xiao Huan?”

“I don’t know,” Mu Huan replied.

Li Meng was stunned.

You don’t know?

What was wrong with her? Why did she not know?

She followed Mu Huan’s gaze and what she saw made her eyes widen in shock.
