Yu Hong spoke softly to attract Chen Lin’s attention. He brought her to the couch and sat down. He then asked the servants to carry the food to the coffee table in the living room and signaled to Yu Heng and Yu Yao with his eyes.

Yu Heng pulled Yu Yao to wash her hands.

He seemed to be able to see the confusion in Yu Yao’s heart. As he rubbed his hands with the soap, he said, “I probably look really similar to Eldest Brother. If we appeared in front of Mom alone, she would often mistake me for Eldest Brother, but she wouldn’t mistake Eldest Brother for me.”

Hearing his words, Yu Yao felt that he was a little sad at this moment. It must have been uncomfortable for your mother to mistake you for someone else.

However, Yu Heng did not need anyone’s sympathy and comfort. He sighed and said, “It’s not that Mom doesn’t care about me. It’s just that in her memory, I stayed in the research institute’s laboratory all year long. Normally, I couldn’t call or video call. It’s because I neglected Mom and my other family members too much.”

Yu Yao opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Yu Heng seemed to have noticed that she wanted to comfort him, so he smiled and said, “Yaoyao, I only understood these things after being reborn. Now that I’ve given up my work at the research institute, I have more time to spend with you.”

Yu Yao thought for a moment and said, “But won’t you regret it? You’re good at the laboratory. This time, you’ll definitely be able to get the results you want in a shorter time. You might even become the youngest Nobel Prize winner. But now, in order to help me, you’ve given up everything that’s easy to get.”

Yu Heng lowered his head and wiped his hands slowly. “All of this was worth it, Yaoyao. I’m very grateful that fate gave me a second chance to make the right choice.”

Yu Yao did not fully understand. If she were Yu Heng, she might not give up her original job. This was because, like she had said, if she continued to study along the paths that she had already explored in her previous life, she might obtain the highest achievement in the scientific world—the Nobel Prize. He would leave his name in history and be written into a textbook. Why would he give up the fame and status that he could get for his sister?

Yu Yao could not understand this problem for the time being.

Yu Hong sat patiently by Chen Lin’s side. Chen Lin’s memories seemed to be a little chaotic. She always spoke about the children and would occasionally talk about what had happened when she and Yu Hong were just dating. Yu Hong listened and did not show any signs of impatience. From time to time, he would chat with Chen Lin with a serious attitude without any intention of brushing her off.

Seeing that Yu Heng and Yu Yao had already come over, he said, “Your mother instructed the kitchen to prepare it. She’s worried that you guys are too busy with work to eat properly. Don’t let her down. Eat breakfast before sleeping.”

No matter how tired she was, Yu Yao did not dare to say that she did not want to eat anything at this moment. She and Yu Heng were like obedient elementary school students. They sat cross-legged on the carpet beside the couch and obediently picked up eggs, milk, and bread to stuff into their mouths.

Chen Lin looked at them with a gratified expression and said to Yu Hong, “Hubby, Yaoyao has grown up in the blink of an eye. She’s very obedient now and isn’t as picky as when she was young.”

Yu Hong smiled and said, “Yeah, children become sensible when they grow up.”

She did not expect that at twenty years old, she would be praised for not being picky. As the center of the topic, Yu Yao almost choked on a mouthful of milk.

Yu Heng ate his breakfast obediently while smiling at the embarrassed expression on Yu Yao’s face, causing her to glare at him.

Although it was very strange, the atmosphere of the family of four was considered harmonious. However, this harmony was broken by a doorbell.

The servant, Auntie He, hurriedly went to open the door and saw an unfamiliar girl. That girl was dressed formally. She was about the same age as the Miss in the family, but she looked more like a wealthy young lady than the Miss who had just returned from working overtime. She looked straight and looked quite imposing.

Auntie He asked in confusion, “Miss, who are you looking for?”
