Chapter 628 She's Very Well-Behaved (57)
After coaxing Zhou Xiye, Jiang Zhizhi discussed with him, "If Shangshang marries Pei Yanli, she will definitely live in Pei Yanli's villa. That place is quite nice, close to the laboratory, and she can be neighbors with her parents."
"The only downside is that you might not be able to see your daughter as easily."
Zhou Xiye said helplessly, "As long as Shangshang is happy, that's all that matters. I always felt that Shangshang was still very young, but I didn't realize that she's about to get married."
Jiang Zhizhi held his hand: "Yes, as long as the two children are happy and the elders are healthy, that is our greatest wealth."
Zhou Xiye reached out and put his arm around Jiang Zhizhi. These past years, because of her, life had been peaceful and easy.
The only regret is that he was too busy before and didn't have time to spend with his children or Jiang Zhizhi.
These past two years have given us more time, but the children have become busier.
They all got married and no longer needed his company.
...
Shen Fanxing and Shang Shang squeezed onto one bed and chatted about the day's events.
Shang Shang poked Shen Fanxing's arm: "You actually conspired with Pei Yanli without telling me."
Shen Fanxing chuckled: "If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise. Just tell me, are you happy today? Aren't you overjoyed? Someone has liked you since you were eighteen and still likes you now."
"My feelings for you haven't faded with time; on the contrary, they've grown stronger. I like you more and more. I'm even striving to become a better person for you. Isn't that wonderful?"
Shang Shang was also filled with joy, and chuckled, "Yes, I really like it."
She rolled over and lay face down, propping her chin up as she looked at Chen Fanxing: "You and Zhou Zhiyun are doing very well too."
Shen Fanxing suddenly snapped her fingers and sat up: "I plan to go find Zhou Zhiyun after the New Year, and then come back pregnant."
Shang Shang was stunned and sat up as well: "You... decided to have a child so soon?"
Shen Fanxing nodded happily: "Yes, I like children. I plan to have three, two sons and one daughter. The daughter should be as cute and cuddly as her aunt."
Shang Shang said incredulously, "I think with your carefree personality, you probably don't like children. Even if you wanted children, you should wait two years."
Shen Fanxing shook her head: "No, no, no, I don't have much ambition. I can have children if I want to, and I don't need to take care of my fans' feelings. If they don't like me getting married and having children, then they can like someone else."
"And, Shangshang, I'll tell you a secret."
Upon hearing the secret, Shang Shang immediately perked up and sat up as well: "What secret? Tell me, and I promise I won't betray you."
Shen Fanxing chuckled: "It's not that exaggerated. I'm an orphan, and Zhou Zhiyun was the one who sponsored my studies back then."
Shang Shang was shocked: "Really?"
She did remember that the school had organized a pairing program where students were paired with children from orphanages.
She also helped a little girl, but they lost contact after she went to university.
It's unclear whether the girl dropped out of school to get married or something happened, but her letter was returned with a note saying "No such person found."
Shen Fanxing nodded: "Of course, I'm good-looking. I was even chosen as a representative to visit your school. But you're two years ahead of me, so you don't know me."
After saying that, she laughed and said, "Zhou Zhiyun has changed so much since high school. I didn't even recognize her. I only recognized her after I saw her high school photos."
Shang Shang exclaimed, "Wow! You two are so romantic! I never thought you'd end up together after all that."
Shen Fanxing was also happy: "So, I'm very happy that I've decided to have two sons for Zhou Zhiyun."
Shang Shang chuckled: "You... this doesn't seem like repaying a debt of gratitude, it seems like you're seeking revenge."
Shen Fanxing laughed and lay down, looking at the ceiling: "I've been alone since I was little. I've never experienced the warmth of a family, nor have any family members to accompany me. I'm used to being alone."
Shang Shang asked curiously, "Then where did you learn fortune telling?"
Shen Fanxing stammered, then pulled the blanket over her face: "You don't need to worry about this. Go to sleep. You have a date with Professor Pei tomorrow."
Shang Shang smiled and reached out to rub Shen Fanxing through the blanket. She was really curious about this, but Shen Fanxing wouldn't tell her.
...
The next day, Shang Shang didn't go on her date with Pei Yanli. Instead, she went to the laboratory because she had an experimental project to work on.
Some experiments had to be conducted by her personally.
She doesn't trust anyone else to do it.
In this respect, Shang Shang and Jiang Zhizhi are quite similar; they are both hands-on and insist on seeing the experimental results with their own eyes.
Moreover, the proportions must be perfect, as this is a life-saving drug.
Jiang Zhizhi also has the idea that, while keeping costs under control, the effectiveness of the medicine should be maximized.
Shang Shang also has some ambition: to develop a cancer treatment drug based on all the basic medicines available, so that cancer patients can afford to take the medicine.
So, she got busy and temporarily forgot about Pei Yanli.
After working for two days and two nights, I only had a short break in the lab. I could only relax when I saw the results and that they met my expectations.
I took a shower and am going home to catch up on my sleep.
I've been communicating with Pei Yanli via text message these past two days.
Shang Shang planned to send Pei Yanli a message and go to see him after she had rested in the afternoon.
Just as she took out her phone, Shen Fanxing called first: "Shangshang, are you free today?"
Shang Shang hummed in agreement: "I'm free. I just came out of the lab and am about to go home to sleep. What's up?"
Shen Fanxing was very direct: "Don't go home, come directly to the company and I'll show you a good show."
She was quite interested in the lively scene Shen Fanxing described: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Shang Shang hurriedly sent a message to Pei Yanli and immediately went to find Shen Fanxing.
Shen Fanxing had already arranged for her assistant to wait at the company entrance. As soon as she saw Shang Shang park her car, she rushed over.
Waiting for Shang Shang to get off the car: "Sister Zhiyi, Sister Fanxing has been waiting for you for a long time."
Shang Shang was very curious: "What's wrong? You seem to be in such a hurry."
The assistant beamed, "You'll see when you get up there."
Shang Shang followed the assistant to Shen Fanxing's office out of curiosity.
Shen Fanxing was hunched over her desk, studying a rather oddly shaped compass.
Shang Shang asked curiously, "You called me here just to see this?"
Shen Fanxing was quite excited: "Come on, come on! I didn't expect this thing to be so accurate. I did a few calculations casually, and they were all terrifyingly accurate. Yes!"
Shang Shang was both amused and exasperated: "Even without using this, your calculations are frighteningly accurate."
Shen Fanxing waved her hand: "Well... I've done the math. If Pei Yanli goes back to his hometown, you absolutely mustn't go."
Shang Shang was taken aback: "Why? No, didn't you tell me to watch the show? This isn't exactly a show."
