He glanced at the research institute again, sighed softly, and then turned away: it seemed his sister really didn't need his support; she was much more independent than him.

The laboratory was already short-staffed, but Professor Chen and his team brought their most elite researchers, along with meteorite fragments and various equipment provided by the state. They also tried their best to meet any other requests made by Bai Yan.

With sufficient equipment and personnel, Bai Yan had no requirements in this regard.

They only suggested that Qin Lang come when they sent people to protect themselves and the research institute.

She's in high demand right now, and this request isn't unreasonable. Plus, Qin Lang is an elite soldier, so they feel more at ease having him as the head of the research institute's bodyguard team.

Qin Lang became Bai Yan's 'bodyguard captain'. Logically speaking, the two of them should have been inseparable since they went to and from get off work together every day.

But ever since the day of the interrogation, Qin Lang has been indifferent... He even seems to have forgotten the red wine and dinner he promised her.

Bai Yan knew exactly where the problem lay, so after the day's research ended, as Qin Lang was about to take her home, Bai Yan picked up her phone, answered a call, and said, "Captain Qin, I'm not planning on going home."

I have a date tonight.

Qin Lang gripped the steering wheel tightly: "Where are you going on a date? Who are you going on a date with? Didn't you already break up with him?"

"Why does dating have to be with him? Can't I have a new boyfriend?"

"cannot!"

Bai Yan looked at him with amusement: "Captain Qin, are you so concerned about my private affairs?"
