Ye Fan looked at the two women within his sight. No, it should be one woman and one little girl. The fragmented images in his dreams pieced together, and the shadows from his dreams finally aligned with reality.

His emotions were indescribably complex at this moment. The images of a woman and a girl were embossed in his mind.

He felt the frequency of his heartbeat, which noticeably quickened at that moment. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The reason, in essence, was that this mother-daughter duo was imprinted in this heart. This heart entered Ye Fan’s body silently, and they also intruded into Ye Fan’s mind, deeply embedded at once.

"No mistake, it’s them." Ye Fan affirmed.

"Jian Tao, Zhao Family’s daughter-in-law, and Zhao Ruixi," Mengyao followed Ye Fan’s gaze and immediately called out their names.

The information Zhang Lu sent included identities of the Zhao Family members, naturally including Jian Tao and Zhao Ruixi.

"We’ve speculated before about who mattered most to Zhao Hai and suspected the woman appearing in your dream was Jian Tao. You just couldn’t be sure at that time. Now, they appear before us, and your dream has turned into reality." Mengyao looked at Jian Tao and her daughter, casting a strange glance at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan retracted his gaze, no longer looking at Jian Tao and her daughter.

Since he had confirmed the people from his dream, he need not be so anxious; the rest should stay natural.

"Stop looking, focus on me," Ye Fan teased.

Mengyao’s beautiful eyes locked onto Ye Fan, particularly fixating on the heart area. She sighed, "Zhao Hai’s kind act allowed you to receive a heart, but it’s a ’buy one, get one free’ deal. Oh wait, it’s ’buy one, get two.’ Zhao Hai silently stamped his wife and daughter into your heart through his own heart."

"Your tone sounds strange, are you jealous?" Ye Fan chuckled bitterly.

"Jealousy isn’t worth it. I’m grateful to Zhao Hai, and grateful to Jian Tao and her daughter as well. Right now, those poor mother and daughter must be feeling awful." Mengyao said, "What I’m wondering now is whether there’s still room in your heart for me?"

"That’s nonsense. I changed the heart, not the brain. Can my feelings just disappear?" Ye Fan replied helplessly, "Now, this heart has melded with my body, entwined with my bloodline; it’s just that this heart has brought unexpected memories. It’s an unforeseen change, but why wouldn’t there be room for you."

"The heart has changed owners now; it’s not Zhao Hai’s anymore, nor does it concern Jian Tao, only some unexpected memories are brought," Mengyao muttered.

"Don’t overthink it. I know what you’re worried about. You’re afraid I might change personality, discard you, and fall for Jian Tao, right?" Ye Fan said amusedly.

"There’s a movie similar to your situation. I forgot its name but it’s like your situation; post-surgery, one receives the heart owner’s memories and falls for the heart owner’s wife," Mengyao expressed her slight unease.

"Silly, what are you talking about? That’s fiction. Look at me, do I seem abnormal, or like someone who would abandon you?" Ye Fan assured earnestly to prevent Mengyao’s unrest, "Just like now, seeing your uneasy expression hurts my heart. My feelings for Jian Tao and her daughter are akin to family, just close relations, not as exaggerated as you say."

"Hearing you say that, I feel at ease." Mengyao relaxed, ceasing her needless thoughts.

"The potential you’re worrying about won’t happen," Ye Fan asserted confidently, "Even if it could, I would manage it; a heart’s memories can’t possibly dominate my whole being."

"So what do we do now?" Mengyao looked at Jian Tao and her daughter again, worried, "Jian Tao bringing her daughter here is definitely not just for relaxation. I believe they’re here for you. On the surface, evidence shows you’re the one who killed Zhao Hai and took his heart, the primary suspect."

"Indeed, there might be trouble, but this trouble is quite tricky," Ye Fan had to acknowledge.

Under the current circumstances, what can be done?

Clear that Jian Tao came with special purpose and hostility, yet unable to expose it now, saying it doesn’t prove innocence, rather falsely adding suspicion.

Just pretend not to know, but be cautious of Jian Tao to prevent adverse effects.

While guarding against Jian Tao, protect her too, lest the murderer of Zhao Hai targets Jian Tao and her daughter, this is what Ye Fan should do.

Therefore, Ye Fan feels exceptionally conflicted now, never facing such a challenging choice.

"Act as if we know nothing, mentioning nothing about the heart. If it weren’t for our efforts, we wouldn’t know the heart’s owner was Zhao Hai, so we just refrain from talking about it." Mengyao suggested, "Apart from covert protection towards Jian Tao, regardless of her actions, we maintain tolerance, but prevent her from doing something extreme."

"When have we ever been this aggrieved? Alas, for the heart’s owner’s sake, we have to endure as much as possible." Ye Fan sighed helplessly.

"Speaking of which, we’re kind of connected to Jian Tao. Now Jian Tao has become our neighbor, inevitably leading to interactions. The Zhao Family’s villa is even older than ours. Let’s hope this bond doesn’t turn into a fatal one." Mengyao said. Indeed, she feared dangerous things might happen, worrying about both Jian Tao posing a threat to them and encountering threats herself.

"We can only try our best, hoping tragedy won’t repeat. If not for the match between the heart’s owner and me, this intricate connection and subsequent incidents wouldn’t have happened." Ye Fan said.

"I’m telling you, it’s fate," Mengyao said, "If not for Zhao Hai’s heart making us grateful, evildoers targeting Jian Tao and her daughter would definitely be catastrophic."

"So be it, let’s see it as fate." Ye Fan calmed down.

Having come to this point, they must let things follow their natural course.

Can’t force anything, nor change anything.

What Ye Fan and Mengyao need to do now is act like nothing happened and express welcome to Jian Tao’s appearance, because if guessed right, Jian Tao will soon visit them, initiating the first step as new neighbors.

Regarding any potential interactions, caution was necessary for repeated concerns.
