Chapter 279 The boss said he wanted to go home and cook

Just then, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed.

Only a beam of light remained on the stage.

Everyone's eyes looked there at the same time.

Shen Xichuan took the microphone and strode onto the stage.

The man stood tall and proud, full of vigor and vitality, and his every move and gesture revealed the dignity of a noble family.

He stood in the center of the stage, looking towards the corner without any concealment.

When his eyes fell on Xu Jialan, they softened for a moment.

Xu Jialan met the man's gaze briefly.

She heard her heartbeat suddenly speed up and become disordered.

Time seemed to travel back again.

At that time, the teenage Shen Xichuan often wore a school uniform and stood under the national flag to give speeches.

He is free and easy, but also has dreams.

Just like tonight, no different.

However, Shen Xichuan on the stage is no longer just a classmate she knows, but the moonlight hidden in her heart.

They are husband and wife and parents of children.

They are also lovers who stay together for a lifetime.

“Good evening everyone, I’m Shen Xichuan.”

The man's deep voice carried throughout the banquet hall through the microphone.

Xu Jialan looked at the man under the light across the crowd.

Her eyes became softer and softer, and the lingering love and admiration seemed to drown people in them.

Shen Xichuan held the microphone and calmly introduced the theme of the evening, the original intention of the foundation's establishment, and what the funded laboratories would do in the future.

He gave a very detailed introduction.

The formed R&D team also came on stage to introduce the next R&D content.

The guests present were all core figures of major families or leaders of enterprises.

Regardless of whether they had any knowledge of this field before.

But at least for the moment, they noticed.

Shen Xichuan's goal was also achieved.

As long as Shen is there, this project will never be short of money.

But announcing it to the public is also to attract more people's attention and concern.

Pay attention to these details that no one has ever noticed.

It's not just the field of firefighting.

There are also many workers in many fields who have made contributions that others cannot see.

Even at the cost of their safety.

Shen Xichuan's purpose is to call on more people in society to pay attention to these issues.

Team Fan was also present at tonight’s press conference.

There are also Xiao Chen and a few others as representatives.

I had a discussion with the R&D team.

Xu Jialan just sat in the corner, watching Shen Xichuan glowing and communicating with everyone with ease.

The assistant was always by her side.

They also had people bring a lot of food.

However, Xu Jialan had no appetite and stopped eating after two bites.

Not long after, Shen Xichuan turned his footsteps.

He actually walked across the crowd and headed straight towards the corner.

Xu Jialan was holding the juice and was stunned for a few seconds when she saw the man walking towards her.

"Why are you here?"

Shen Xichuan half-knelt in front of her and glanced at the snacks beside her that she had taken a few bites of but didn't eat.

"Are you hungry?"

Noticing his gaze, Xu Jia's blue eyes softened a bit, "Is this why you came here?"

Even from such a distance, I could still see that she ate something but didn't finish it.

I guessed that she had no appetite.

So I came straight over.

Shen Xichuan pinched her smooth fingertips, “Well, do you want to eat what I made?”

“A little.”

Xu Jialan said truthfully.

"Okay, let's go back," he said.

Xu Jialan was stunned. "Now? But you are not..."

Shen Xichuan hummed, took her hand and stood up, “The most important part of the press conference is over, just leave the rest to them.”

Xu Jialan wanted to say something else.

At this moment, Captain Fan and his team also came over.

Several people greeted each other.

Team Fan patted Shen Xichuan on the shoulder and said, “Today’s press conference was very successful. Thank you for your hard work.”

"Next, the laboratory will officially start investing in research and development. The funds are ready, and I hope to hear good news soon." Shen Xichuan said.

Captain Fan nodded, "It's all thanks to you."

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have the courage and ability to do such a thing.

Shen Xichuan remained silent.

Captain Fan wanted to say something else.

Shen Xichuan said, "Captain Fan, I have something important to do. I'll leave the press conference to you. I'll leave my assistant here. If you need anything, just let me know."

Captain Fan was stunned when he heard this. "Important? What is it?"

Shen Xichuan put a suit jacket on Xu Jialan and said, “Go home and cook.”

"What?"

Captain Fan suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Shen Xichuan didn’t say anything else, patted his shoulder, and left the banquet hall holding Xu Jialan’s hand.

The assistant stood aside and continued to remain silent.

Before Xiao Chen and the others could say anything, they saw the back of Shen Xichuan leaving with Xu Jialan.

Several people looked confused.

Captain Fan was even more confused and looked at his assistant. "What did your boss just say?"

Assistant: "...The boss said he wants to go home and cook."

Captain Fan: “…”

He held it in for a long time before finally uttering, "He doesn't have a chef?"

Are you kidding? How could the Shen family not have a chef?

The assistant had a complicated expression, "Madam...prefers the dishes cooked by the boss."

As Shen Xichuan's assistant, he naturally knew the reason.

But the Shen family has no plans to make it public so far, so it's not easy for him, as an assistant, to say anything.

I just found the most appropriate reason in a tactful way.

Captain Fan was completely convinced: "..."

…

In the carriage.

Xu Jialan watched the hotel building receding outside the car window.

She turned around and looked at the man beside her. "We're just leaving like this. Is that really okay?"

Shen Xichuan told the driver to turn up the air conditioner a few degrees.

"It will be fine."

Everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged.

The rest is up to them.

Xu Jialan: "Okay."

The two returned to Courtyard No. 1.

Shen Xichuan went to the kitchen first and poured a cup of pearl milk tea for Xu Jialan.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Xu Jialan took a sip of pearl milk tea and thought for a second, "Boiled pork slices?"

Shen Xichuan was silent for a few seconds, “Okay.”

During this period, he has slowly accepted the fact that Xu Jialan has started to like spicy food because of pregnancy reaction.

But every time he makes spicy dishes, he still deliberately puts less.

Even if your taste changes due to morning sickness, suddenly eating such spicy food will still hurt your stomach.

Xu Jialan probably didn't expect that Shen Xichuan would consider so many things.

…

Late June.

The summer solstice is approaching, and the weather is gradually getting hotter.

More and more people came to visit No. 1 Courtyard.

The one who came the most was Gu Ziwei.

He originally didn't know why Xu Jialan suddenly couldn't go to the laboratory.

Until recently, he encountered difficulties in the experiment and needed Xu Jialan's help.

Xu Jialan directly sent him the address of Courtyard No. 1.

The moment Gu Ziwei saw Xu Jialan.

He finally understood why.

People who understand medicine also know something about medicine.

How could he not see that Xu Jialan was pregnant?

Gu Ziwei sat on the sofa in a daze and didn't react for a long time.

Among their several senior brothers and sisters, the youngest is Xu Jialan.

However, they didn't expect that the first person to get married and have children would be their youngest junior sister.

And they are still a group of singles.
