Chapter 115: Second Brother’s Decision

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yu Yao woke up after sleeping and realized that Yu Heng was still at her house. There was already food on the dining table, and Yu Heng was in the living room with a few burnt cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him.

Yu Yao yawned and walked over to Yu Heng’s side. She asked, “Did Eldest Brother come by just now?”

Yu Heng shook his head. “No. Why would Yaoyao ask that?”

Yu Yao used her gaze to gesture at the ashtray on the coffee table. “I remember you never smoked. Was this left behind by Eldest Brother?”

He had not expected Yu Yao to remember his lifestyle so clearly. A faint warmth surged in his heart, and a hint of a tired smile appeared on his lips as he said, “I was in a bad mood today, so I smoked a few cigarettes. Yaoyao, do you smell smoke?”

“No.” Yu Yao shook her head. “Didn’t you turn on the new ventilation system? Besides, I don’t hate the smell of cigarettes…”

At the mention of the smell of cigarettes, a tall and handsome figure suddenly appeared in Yu Yao’s mind. She remembered that she had hugged Qiao Lian before. In a daze, she had also smelled his scent. He didn’t seem to like using fragrances, so there was a faint smell of tobacco on his shirt. It was very clean and very seductive…

Yu Heng did not know that his sister’s thoughts had shifted to another man. He only brought up the idea that he had been thinking about for the entire afternoon. “Yaoyao, I don’t want to return to the research institute anymore.”

“You’re not going back to the research institute?”

Yu Yao stared with her eyes wide open. She remembered that in that melodramatic novel, Yu Heng had been working at the research institute. Five years later, he had relied on his research results to win the highest award in the biological sciences and become the world’s youngest and most promising scientist.

Although Yu Yao did not know Yu Heng’s exact research direction, she knew that it was not easy for him to invest all his energy into research and produce results that would attract the attention of the world. Therefore, Yu Heng must be joking right now, right?

“Stop joking.” Yu Yao waved her hand, looking like she didn’t believe him at all. “The Yu family are all workaholics. In their own fields of expertise and love, they must do their best. You won’t leave half of your experiments behind. Besides, if you don’t return to the research institute, what will you do in the future?”

When he had just made this decision, Yu Heng was also a little reluctant. However, when he looked at Yu Yao in front of him, she looked indifferent to the three brothers on the surface, but in fact, she had such an accurate grasp of their character. In order to protect Yu Yao, who was only tough on the surface but had a soft heart, Yu Heng would not regret his decision.

He chuckled and said, “There’s no need to continue with this research project in my hands now. Because the Yu family is involved in a mental hospital case, my project has been stopped. If I want to continue, I have to start afresh. But I already know the results of this project, so there’s no need to waste time on a project that I already know the answer to.”

Yu Yao felt that his words were a little strange. Scientific experiments were often filled with uncertainty. Before they reached a true conclusion, no one dared to say that they knew the results like the back of their hand, unless Yu Heng had gone through a complete research process before…

However, that was impossible. Yu Yao shook her head and shook away the ridiculous guesses in her mind. It was too ridiculous for her to think that they were both transmigrators.

Yu Yao couldn’t figure it out and still felt that Yu Heng’s decision was a little strange. “So, you stopped working at the research institute because you wanted to enter the company to help Eldest Brother?”

“No, a company doesn’t need two policymakers. I wouldn’t be used to working under Eldest Brother at the company.” Yu Heng shook his head and looked at Yu Yao. “Yaoyao, I want to help you.”

Yu Yao mumbled, “Help me?”

Yu Heng nodded. “I know Yaoyao is a good child filled with righteousness, but what you’re doing now is too dangerous.. So, let me be with you, okay?”
