Chapter 219 My Glory Has Always Been You

On the morning of New Year's Day, when Jiang Xu woke up, he heard the father and son chatting next to him.

"Dad, can you let me sleep between you and mom next time?"

"cannot."

"Why?"

"Because I want to sleep with your mother in my arms."

Tuanbao: “…”

After a while, Tuanbao asked again: "Dad, what's wrong with Mom's neck? Why is there a red spot?"

He Yanting suppressed his smile and said, "Guess."

Tuanbao thought for a while: "Was it a mosquito bite?"

"no."

He Yanting immediately denied it.

Tuanbao was puzzled: "What happened?"

He Yanting: "Come here, I'll tell you."

Tuanbao crawled over carefully. He Yanting picked him up and whispered, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

"Dad, you're lying!"

Tuanbao yelled in anger, then quickly covered his mouth and glanced at Jiang Xu guiltily.

He Yanting let go of Tuanbao: "Put on your clothes yourself."

Tuanbao snorted, "Dad, you bullied me. I'm going to complain to my grandma, great-grandpa and great-grandma."

After saying that, he jumped out of bed and ran out.

Jiang Xu was still pretending to be asleep when suddenly a familiar scent surrounded her.

He Yanting's voice rang out beside him: "How long are you going to keep pretending?"

Jiang Xu's eyelashes trembled and she ignored him.

Warm lips fell on his neck, and He Yanting laughed softly: "If you keep pretending to sleep, the mosquitoes will bite again."

Jiang Xu couldn't help laughing and pushed him away: "Are you shameless?"

He Yanting pestered her and kissed her, making Jiang Xu blush. She trembled as she heard He Yanting whisper in her ear, "Ruanruan, in the new year, I will be even more shameless."

Jiang Xu's eyes were filled with tears, and she bit her lip and scolded him: "Bad guy!"

He Yanting bit her lip: "Curse more, I like to hear it."

This lingering time caused me to get up late.

By the time they came downstairs, it was almost time for lunch.

Tuanbao was with Xia Yulin. Seeing them, he shouted, "Mom and Dad are such lazy bums. It's almost noon and they're not getting up yet."

As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. He, Mrs. He, Xia Yulin, and a group of relatives and friends who came to pay New Year's greetings all looked at them.

We were all adults, and we could tell at a glance that these two were as close as honey.

Everyone's eyes were full of meaning.

Jiang Xu lowered her head, her face blushing with shame.

He Yanting was in high spirits, his entire face radiant. He put his arm around Jiang Xu's waist and whispered, "Mrs. He, cheer up."

Tuanbao jumped over with the biscuits and grabbed Jiang Xu's hand: "Mom, are you hungry? This is delicious."

Jiang Xu bent down and ate a cookie. "Mm, delicious."

He Yanting said, "Wife, I want to eat too."

Jiang Xu took a piece of biscuit, and He Yanting lowered his head and took a bite from her hand.

This scene was seen by everyone, and its meaning is self-evident.

Looking at this heartwarming scene, Xia Yulin, Mr. He and the old lady all had loving and gratified expressions on their faces.

Jiang Xu didn't know if it was an illusion, but she found that everyone was very respectful to her today, even the elders of the He family were very polite.

Especially He Youyun's mother Jiang Chunmei, who has always been at odds with Jiang Xu.

Today, he still had a smile on his face, and he politely called her, "Jiang Xu, I heard that you and Yan Ting got your marriage certificate?"

Jiang Xu smiled, but before she could answer, He Yanting said, "Yes, I received it before the New Year."

"Oh, congratulations! It looks like we'll be having our second baby soon!"

Jiang Chunmei said with a smile.

Jiang Xu looked indifferent: "I'm currently busy with work and have no plans to have a second child."

"The He family is so wealthy, how could they have only Tuanbao as their child?"

Jiang Chunmei said in a shrill voice.

He Yanting said, "Why not? Tuanbao is the sole heir to the Future Group. As for a second child, if my wife doesn't want one, then she doesn't want one. No one who has nothing to do with it needs to make irresponsible remarks."

After he said that, Jiang Chunmei didn't dare to say anything more.

No one dared to urge Jiang Xu to have a second child the whole day.

Dinner was about to start when He Youyun arrived late. She worked in the hospital, so it was normal for her to be busy.

When an elder asked her about her love life, He Youyun just smiled and said she hadn't thought about it that much.

During dinner, Jiang Xu noticed that she was holding her cell phone and laughing secretly.

After dinner, everyone was chatting, and He Youyun hid in the corner and looked at his phone again.

"In love?"

Jiang Xu appeared beside her at some point.

He Youyun was shocked and denied it flatly: "Sister-in-law, no way, don't slander me!"

"How can being in love be considered a slander?"

Jiang Xu smiled and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

She turned to leave, but was stopped by He Youyun. "Wait a minute, forget it. Let me tell you, it's really uncomfortable for me to hold it in alone."

Jiang Xu knew she couldn't hide it, so he asked with a smile, "Who is it? Do I recognize him?"

He Youyun whispered in her ear, "It's Doctor Ji."

"Ji Baifeng?"

Jiang Xu was surprised. "Don't you think he's too old?"

He Youyun blushed: "Early 30s is not too old."

Jiang Xu smiled and said, "Tell me, how did you get together?"

He Youyun said, "Before, I was teasing him with my colleagues behind his back, and he heard it. After that, I started avoiding him. One time, when my colleagues were having dinner together, he asked me why I always avoided him. How could I dare to tell him? Of course, I lied and said no."

"I didn't expect it to rain heavily that day and I couldn't get a taxi, so he took me home."

"Later, there was another time when I fainted from hypoglycemia in the hospital. He also carried me to the emergency room. To thank him, I treated him to a meal."

"After a while, he suddenly asked me last month if I would consider being his girlfriend."

When she said this, He Youyun blushed even more.

"I thought about it all night and then... I agreed."

Hearing this, Jiang Xu laughed, "You're not wronged. Ji Baifeng was a famous figure in school when he was still in school. He was elegant and handsome, very good at studying, and he was very self-disciplined. He was always like a male god."

She didn't say that Ji Baifeng had always been her best friend's dream man.

He Youyun snorted: "He is indeed good-looking, but he is not at a disadvantage either. I am seven years younger than him!"

"Yes, bless you."

Jiang Xu looked at He Youyun and felt sincerely happy for her, thinking that she did not follow the tragic path of her previous life and met such a good man like Ji Baifeng.

But Jiang Xu didn't expect that Ji Baifeng's sweet love with the girl almost accidentally caused Chi Xiaoli and Gu Xiao to break up.

After the Spring Festival holiday, Jiang Xu began to cooperate with Luo Rui Group.

With Shengyu Group acting as the matchmaker, everything went very smoothly.

Hansen contacted Jiang Xu several times, apologized to her, and hoped that she would go back to continue leading the project, but Jiang Xu decisively refused.

Xu Tianzhong was reluctant to part with Jiang Xu and said frankly that it was a pity for the Lyle Group to lose her.

Not long after, Jiang Xu suddenly became popular on the Internet.

The reason was that Professor Fitz was interviewed abroad and told the reporter about Jiang Xu's experience of going through untold hardships to get the virus strain back, which aroused widespread heated discussion.

There were even dozens of magazines and media outlets calling to arrange interviews.

However, because she was busy with work, Jiang Xu refused them all.

Later she agreed to an interview with a TV station.

During the interview, the reporter asked about some of Jiang Xu's experiences in fighting the virus in Africa, and he responded to all of them one by one.

Finally, the reporter asked her, "I heard that Dr. Jiang is married. Are your family members supportive of your trip to Africa for a few months?"

Jiang Xu smiled and said, "Yes, they all support my career, especially my husband. He even followed me to Africa and gave me great encouragement and help."

At this point, she choked up as she recalled the little things and life-and-death moments she had experienced in Africa.

"This honor belongs to me as well as him."

After the interview, He Yanting came to pick her up personally and asked her what she had said.

Jiang Xu shrugged, "Nothing."

A week later, the interview video came out and went viral online.

At that time, Jiang Xu was busy working in the laboratory. Chi Xiaoli, Qin Zifei and many friends and colleagues called to congratulate her.

Jiang Xu was quite calm, but she didn't expect that He Yanting hadn't contacted her.

After get off work in the evening, He Yanting came to pick her up as usual.

When she walked out of the laboratory building, she saw him standing in front of the car door, his hands in his pockets, looking at her quietly.

"Did you watch the interview?"

Jiang Xu couldn't help but ask him.

He Yanting raised the corner of his mouth: "I saw it."

Jiang Xu pouted: "I thought you would call me."

He Yanting said, "I was afraid of disturbing your work, so I endured it until now."

Jiang Xu snorted: "I lifted you up so high, are you happy?"

He Yanting shook his head, "Ruanruan, thank you for giving me this honor, but actually—"

He raised his hand, pressed the back of her head, and pulled her into his arms.

A gentle voice sounded in the early spring wind:

"My glory has always been you."
