Chapter 194: Facing Your Heart
Lin Yuan and Zhang Yan waited for a long time in the restaurant of Jiangjing Hotel, but Mr. Wang, president of Alibaba Local Lifestyle Business Group, did not come.

They were sitting by the window, looking out at the rolling river water on the Bund.

"Thank you, little sister."

"What are you thanking me for? But it's rare to see you thanking me so sincerely."

"Thank you for letting me see myself clearly. Everything that is before my eyes comes from my heart. So, I plan to accept it.

I shouldn't be obsessed with Xia Ye's changes, and I shouldn't complain to you secretly.

I should accept everything in front of me and try to change them according to my original intention.

I should let Xia Ye gradually become calm, no matter what she wants to do, whether she wants to apply for Ziyi's postgraduate study. How to do it is secondary, the key is that she has to make her own decision. Although I often joke that she is my eldest daughter, I can't be her father after all, and she has to decide her own path.

As for you, little sister," Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Yan, who straightened his back and looked forward to Lin Yuan's next comments.

“I thought of a word to describe our relationship: ‘fate’.

There is no better word than 'fate'.

If we mix love between you and me, it always feels wrong. We have never even held hands properly.

But to say that there is no affection and love seems to be deceiving myself.

After thinking about it, the only word that comes to mind is "fate."

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, "You finally understand that I didn't come to you on impulse. Brother, do you know why I fell in love with you?"

"Stop," Lin Yuan wanted to clarify one question first, "Let's first clarify how to explain the fact that 'you like me'."

"What's there to explain? I want to be with you forever and have a baby with you."

"That's not the feeling you gave me before."

"That was because I was trying to scare you. After careful consideration, I didn't want to force you to abandon Xia Ye. If you did that, not only would you be tormented, but even if you obeyed, this matter would become a thorn in our side forever. Because I myself couldn't get over this hurdle myself.

So, after much thought, I decided to just leave it like this for now."

"So you plan to stay with me forever? You really won't get married for the rest of your life?"

"It doesn't matter whether we get married or not. When the time is right, you can have a baby with me." Zhang Yan said calmly, "Don't bring up the rules of the secular world. I can tolerate Xia Ye to this extent, and let her grow old with you. She won't even bother me about this."

After discussing this topic, Lin Yuan had already let it go.

Zhang Yan originally had the ability to discipline Lin Yuan and Xia Ye, but she didn't. Considering her power, her requirements were really not high.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Many people start well, but few end well. Do you plan to do IVF in the future?"

"You..." Zhang Yan picked up the water cup on the table. She really wanted to splash it on Lin Yuan's face, but because it was a public place, she forced herself to hold it back.

"Am I ugly?"

"Yeah, no. I just want to be good friends with you for the rest of my life. If that were to happen, I'd be screwed."

"Now that we've come to this point, why are you still talking about good friends with me? Answer my previous question: 'Guess why I fell in love with you'."

Lin Yuan asked curiously, "This is something I haven't figured out so far. If you say that you are acting on impulse, it doesn't seem like you want to be with me forever. I'm obviously not handsome. As for ability, you must have seen quite a few capable people."

"Yeah, you're right. I've seen many newly rich people, technological elites, or children of aristocratic families. My dad even arranged for me to go on a blind date because I was curious."

Lin Yuan became excited and asked, "How many did you meet?"

"About three or five. Later I found it boring, so I stopped going. But on weekdays, at family gatherings, the elders are always eager to introduce people. So I've met too many people in informal blind dates. I can't even count them."

"You've seen everything in the world at the age of 23?"

"What do you mean by seeing the world? I mean I've seen a lot of outstanding boys since I was a child."

"Then why did you hang me on this crooked tree in the end?"

"I didn't quite understand it at first, but then I gradually understood a little bit. I just now completely understood it.

"Senior brother," Zhang Yan stared at Lin Yuan seriously, "with your rural family, graduating from a crappy school, and working as a delivery man a few months ago, you are really ordinary. But the things you did make me feel that you are not ordinary.

I just think it's fun to follow you, because although your ability is not outstanding, there are many people who are richer and more beautiful than you, and there are many people with better family backgrounds than you. "In terms of Lin Yuan's current situation and the talent he has shown, he is really quite ordinary at Zhang Yan's level.

"So you're trying to say you're blind?"

"Don't interrupt. It's because your behavior is hard to predict."

"Hmm?" Lin Yuan was very curious about the other party's further explanation.

"I can guess what the people I know want to do. Those who come from official families will definitely pursue a career in politics, and those whose families are in business will definitely inherit the family business. As for the scientific and technological elites and academic leaders, they will definitely move up the ladder in their own industries.

I can see at a glance what they want to do. It's so boring. It's nothing more than fame, fortune and wealth, just in different forms.

But I have never lacked these things since I was a child, so why should I look for them?

Since I was a child, I have loved listening to my grandparents telling stories about the older generation. I feel that life is not wasted. Otherwise, what is the difference between my twenties and my eighties? At my age, I can already outline my entire life.

This life is so boring. It’s so boring.”

Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Yan's true feelings and said, "It's hard for me to empathize with you. But I believe what you said because you were born in Rome. Everyone is more or less rebellious in their bones, but you were born in Rome, and you don't see the possibility of leaving Rome in this life."

"Yes." Zhang Yan made an arch with his hands. "I was born in a golden cage, but I can't see the hope of getting out of this cage. You appeared in my life like an alien, so you completely disrupted my life plan.

I wanted to be a criminal police officer. If my dad hadn’t stopped me, I would have done it a long time ago.”

"Because the criminal case is more dangerous?"

"Of course. But it's exciting.

But after meeting you, I discovered another, safer way to seek excitement.”

"what?"

"Because you are completely different from those people. I can't guess what you will do next."

"really?"

"Of course. If those people were in your current situation, they would definitely set up a company and think about how to cut a piece of the food delivery industry. But I don't think you have such an intention at all. At most, you just want to make some money, and you don't want to stay in the food delivery industry for a long time.

And you actually ran to the Blue Label Factory to join forces with the Good Group to take revenge on the Good Group because you were defeated by the Good Group.

This kind of operation is just like that of a child in the eyes of those people.

But I love it.”

"And," Zhang Yan became more and more excited as he spoke, "If it were those people, they wouldn't bother about Xia Ye at all, they would definitely choose me. As for Xia Ye, those with better character would break up, and those with worse character would just keep her outside.

Oh, that’s right. Even Song Xiaoxiao would accept someone with the worst character.”

"Ah?" Lin Yuan said frankly, "Actually, I have thought about this before."

"But you didn't do that. And you were so stupid to say it to my face. I heard you and Xia Ye being intimate in the room several times, and I really wanted to kick Xia Ye out of the country. But I didn't do that either.

I just figured it out.

Brother, you are more human than those people.

So, this is what I liked about you from the beginning to the end. I now understand it completely."

Lin Yuan carefully thought about what the other person said, "I really didn't plan to stay in the food delivery industry for a long time. And I really have no interest in money. I don't even know what I need so much money for. I'm not saying that I don't want money. Who would complain about having too much money? I'm saying that after I had a few million, I wasn't that eager for money.

That’s not right,” Lin Yuan suddenly remembered, “I seem to be cheating.”

"This isn't called cheating. It's just that you've grown up too fast and you're not willing to abandon your ex."

Zhang Yan's logic of comfort was so flawless that Lin Yuan was speechless.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment, "Little sister, are you attracted to me because I am unconventional? Is it because my behavior is highly unpredictable?"

"Yes." Zhang Yan gave an affirmative answer, "In fact, I should say this: Senior Brother, you are not living like an adult."
