Chapter 43: Yun Mengrou's Dependence

The Mercedes sped along the road.

Su Xueyan sat in the passenger seat, clutching the cooperation proposal tightly in her hand.

Just now on the phone, Yun Mengrou's enthusiasm made her inexplicably feel a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, with me here, the deal is guaranteed to go through."

Jiang Feng seemed to notice her tension, soothing her while driving.

Su Xueyan didn't reply, but her heart still fluttered a bit.

She always felt that Yun Mengrou's attitude toward Jiang Feng was more than just simple gratitude.

After a short while, the car stopped beneath a high‑end riverside apartment building.

The security guard at the entrance saw them, immediately smiled and let them through; evidently Anna had already called ahead.

The elevator went straight to the top floor; as soon as the doors opened, Yun Mengrou ran over: "Jiang Feng, it's really you—so great!"

She immediately grabbed Jiang Feng's arm, completely ignoring Su Xueyan beside her, chattering away.

"I've been asking Anna to look for you every day these past few days—checking the surveillance, asking staff, even the audience present at the time—but I just couldn't find you. I thought I'd never see you again!"

Su Xueyan stood at the back, watching Yun Mengrou's arm around Jiang Feng, and, a bit awkward, said: "Miss Yun, hello, I am Su Xueyan of the Su Group."

Yun Mengrou only then noticed her, quickly released Jiang Feng's arm, and smiled apologetically.

"President Su, hello! Sorry, I was too excited and didn't notice you. Please come in and sit!"

The apartment's decor was especially exquisite, and the floor‑to‑ceiling windows opened onto a river view.

In the living room, an oversized wool sofa stood in the center, and the coffee table held sliced fruit and freshly baked mini cakes—clearly prepared specially.

Anna emerged from the kitchen, carrying two glasses of juice, and smiled as she greeted: "President Su, Mr. Jiang, please sit down quickly."

"Thank you, Miss Anna."

Su Xueyan took the juice, sat on the sofa, and her gaze unintentionally swept over the photos on the coffee table.

Anna followed her gaze and, smiling, explained.

"President Su, you may not know yet, but the last time Mengrou had an asthma attack at the music festival, it was Jiang Feng who saved her. The situation was extremely dangerous; Mengrou was almost out of breath, and Jiang Feng used a few silver needles and revived her within minutes—faster than an ambulance!"

"Huh?"

Su Xueyan looked at Jiang Feng in surprise: "The kind soul who rescued Miss Yun at the music festival was you? Why didn't you tell me?"

Anna glanced at the still‑chatting Yun Mengrou and Jiang Feng, her eyes flickering slightly, then she said:

"President Su, let's go to the study next door to discuss the cooperation so we don't delay the main business."

Su Xueyan quickly nodded and followed Anna into the study.

Anna smiled and said: "President Su, actually Mengrou has already told me about the cooperation; we have no issues on our side."

Su Xueyan hurriedly produced the prepared quotation sheet and pushed it in front of Anna.

"Miss Anna, our endorsement fee is ten million, and we will fully accommodate Mengrou's rest schedule, not assigning too much work. How do you find this price and proposal?"

She assumed Anna would be satisfied, since this price is already considered very high among stars of the same tier.

But Anna smiled and shook her head, pushing the quotation sheet back.

"President Su, the money doesn't need to be that much; we only have one request."

"Whatever the request, we will do our utmost to fulfill it."

Su Xueyan said subconsciously.

"Mengrou's asthma is unstable; the last episode was caused by overwork and excessive excitement."

Anna's tone became serious.

"Therefore we hope that when Mengrou works for the Su Group, Jiang Feng can stay by her side."

"If she has another attack, Jiang Feng can rescue her in time; that's more important than anything. As long as Jiang Feng agrees, President Su can set the endorsement fee at any amount."

"Huh?"

Su Xueyan was completely stunned; the pen in her hand clattered onto the table, "Let Jiang Feng… stay with her?"

She panicked instantly.

Yun Mengrou already relied on Jiang Feng; if they were together every workday, what if something happened again?

But she couldn't refuse, since the cooperation is crucial for the company, and Anna's request is reasonable, entirely for Yun Mengrou's safety.

Su Xueyan was torn and didn't know how to answer.

At that moment, the study door was pushed open, and Jiang Feng and Yun Mengrou walked in.

Yun Mengrou, pulling Jiang Feng's arm, asked with sparkling eyes: "Anna, how's the cooperation discussion going?"

Su Xueyan forced a thin smile and said: "Jiang Feng, Miss Su here hopes you can continue to stay with her; what do you think?"

She looked at Jiang Feng with some expectation, hoping for the first time that he would refuse.

But Jiang Feng only smiled: "Sure, I have no problem with that."

Hearing this, Su Xueyan's complexion changed slightly, and she asked again uncertainly.

"But you still have matters at the Medical Hall to attend to; you can't be with her every day, can you?"

"The Medical Hall has Hua Lao's help; it's fine."

Jiang Feng smiled, "Besides, I only stay beside her while she works, I don't have to do anything, so it won't delay anything."

Yun Mengrou, hearing Jiang Feng's agreement, jumped up excitedly.

"Great, Jiang Feng! With you here, I'm no longer afraid of work! I will definitely cooperate fully with the Su Group, never delay progress, and won't disappoint you!"

She smiled with her eyes narrowed into crescents, looking especially happy.

Anna also breathed a sigh of relief, smiling: "Then the cooperation is settled. Tomorrow I'll have the team send the contract to President Su, and we'll sign it promptly so as not to delay the subsequent promotion plan."

"Great! Thank you, Miss Anna! Thank you, Miss Yun!"

Su Xueyan quickly nodded, feeling a little less conflicted, since the cooperation could go through, which is a great boon for the company.

After finishing the cooperation talk, Yun Mengrou again pulled Jiang Feng into a chat in the living room.

She showed him clips of the drama she had filmed, then told him amusing stories from the crew, completely treating Su Xueyan like air. Su Xueyan sat beside them, sipping juice, watching the two of them, feeling a bit helpless.

She always felt that Yun Mengrou's attitude was not like that toward a Life-saving Benefactor.

Jiang Feng seemed to notice Su Xueyan's unease; after chatting for a while, he Standing up said.

"It's getting late, we should go, Xue Yan has to go to the company tomorrow to handle the follow‑up matters of the cooperation, can't be too late."

"Ah? Leaving so soon?"

Yun Mengrou was a bit reluctant, holding his hand and not letting go, "Sit a little longer, I haven't had enough talk with you yet, I still have many things I want to tell you."

"Next Time we'll chat again, I'll often come when I'm working in the future."

Jiang Feng soothed, "You should also rest early, don't stay up late, it's bad for your health."

"Alright..."

Yun Mengrou had to release her grip, reluctantly seeing them off to the door.

"Jiang Feng! President Su, Next Time we cooperate, let's have a meal together!"

"Okay, definitely."

Su Xueyan forced a smile and nodded, following Jiang Feng out of the apartment.

The two had just reached the ground floor when Su Xueyan still wanted to ask about the situation.

At that moment, Jiang Feng's phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, Jiang Feng, it's not good... I just received calls from several suppliers; they won't provide us with Medicine..."
