When Shen Yanxi and Zhou Mingyan returned from their walk, He Lingchuan had already packed his things.
Seeing him emerge from the room carrying large bags, Shen Yanxi looked puzzled: "What are you doing? Where are you going again?"
Didn't they agree on everything yesterday? Didn't He Lingchuan agree to move back in? What's all this fuss about now?
"Let's go to the old house."
He Lingchuan had long been fed up with Shen Yanxi teasing him like a dog. He could pretend that nothing had happened last night, and as for Shen Yanxi, he had probably already forgotten about her.
He didn't want to maintain this relationship with Shen Yanxi anymore. They were already divorced, and continuing like this wouldn't be good for either of them, so it was better to just leave.
Shen Yanxi walked past Zhou Mingyan to He Lingchuan, spreading her arms to stop him: "You can't leave, you clearly promised me last night..."
"Shen Yanxi, aren't you afraid some people will get jealous if you bring up last night?"
He Lingchuan's face was grim as he looked at Zhou Mingyan.
Seeing that Shen Yanxi really didn't want to mention it again, he snorted coldly, pushed Shen Yanxi's shoulder away, and left with the package.
After he left, Zhou Mingyan kept staring at Shen Yanxi's slightly lonely figure, wanting to know what exactly happened last night.
What else could a man and a woman do together besides those kinds of things?
But he also believed that Shen Yanxi was not that kind of person. Zhou Mingyan was conflicted. If he went to ask her now, Shen Yanxi would definitely think that he wanted to control everything. But if he didn't ask, he couldn't help but make wild guesses.
Zhou Mingyan clenched his fists, feeling like he was about to go crazy, and his hatred for He Lingchuan deepened.
...
Back at the old house, He Lingchuan planned to explain to Shen's mother why he had returned. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shen's mother standing in front of him, indicating that she had just arrived.
"Aunt Chen, what brings you here?"
Mother Shen glanced at the packages in He Lingchuan's room: "I just want to say one thing to you."
After saying this, Mother Shen paused for a moment. He Lingchuan was a little nervous and even prepared to move out.
Unexpectedly, the first thing Shen's mother said was encouraging: "I support all your decisions. You don't need to worry about the children. Just do your experiments and go to work. Leave Xixi to me. I won't let her bother you anymore."
He Lingchuan was deeply moved. He gripped Shen's mother's wrist tightly, took a deep breath, but couldn't utter a single word.
After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly: "Aunt Chen, I really don't know how to thank you enough."
"You don't need to thank me, you deserve it."
Mother Shen gently patted He Lingchuan's hand and looked at him tenderly.
For several days in a row, He Lingchuan did not see Shen Yanxi again. He felt relieved, thinking that Shen Yanxi had finally given up on him, and devoted himself even more wholeheartedly to the experiment.
Looking at the projects he had in hand, He Lingchuan decided to ask Gu Chengze for two helpers.
Before he could even speak, Gu Chengze patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said mysteriously, "That's why we're so in sync. Two interns will be coming today. See if they're suitable. I'll let you choose first."
Hearing him say that, He Lingchuan spent the whole morning looking forward to the arrival of the intern.
After lunch, the interns finally arrived. He Lingchuan followed Gu Chengze into the conference room and immediately spotted Cao Xue standing in the crowd.
He was somewhat surprised and raised his eyebrows, but Cao Xue was even more astonished than he was.
After the teacher finished introducing her students, Cao Xue skipped over to He Lingchuan: "Brother Lingchuan, you work here too?"
"Yes, I didn't expect you to come too."
“Scientific research is my dream, but I never expected to see you here. This must be fate.”
Cao Xue looked up innocently, and He Lingchuan smiled and pinched her nose, his tone doting: "You must study hard, what you learn here is much more practical than what you learn at school."
"Don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Because Cao Xue knew He Lingchuan, it was no surprise that she joined He Lingchuan's group.
After bringing Cao Xue in, Gu Chengze patted He Lingchuan on the shoulder with an ambiguous expression: "Good luck."
What kind of oil should I use?
He Lingchuan looked helpless, but considering Cao Xue was there, he didn't explain further.
After Gu Chengze left, He Lingchuan switched to his role as a teacher.
Unlike usual, He Lingchuan was very serious when he was a teacher. If Cao Xue couldn't answer a question, he would get angry and even scold her.
Cao Xue looked at her teacher with some curiosity, not afraid at all, but rather finding it interesting.
All her attention was drawn to He Lingchuan, and she didn't notice that the two of them were getting closer and closer.
Cao Xue was brought back to her senses only by a rapid knock on the door.
He Lingchuan also looked up, and the two of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shen Yanxi standing at the door.
She heard from Zhou Mingyan that Cao Xue had come to He Lingchuan's laboratory.
She didn't believe it at first, but Zhou Mingyan told her to come and see for herself, and she didn't expect to see this scene.
She frowned, and considering that Cao Xue was Cao Wei's sister, she suppressed her anger and changed her approach to assert her dominance.
Shen Yanxi walked up to He Lingchuan and asked him gently if he wanted to go home for lunch. Not only that, she even deliberately pulled down her collar to reveal the red marks that hadn't completely faded: "Mom called me yesterday and told us to hurry up and have a second child."
Upon hearing this, Cao Xue froze on the spot, her cheeks flushed, her eyes darting between the two of them.
He Lingchuan was baffled, even disgusted: "What nonsense are you spouting? What kind of child are we having now?"
"Why can't you have a baby? Everything was fine yesterday!"
"Shen Yanxi, you're going too far."
He Lingchuan subconsciously looked at the person next to him. Cao Xue was still a child, and he didn't want her to hear these words.
"Why are you yelling at me? Am I not telling the truth?"
"What facts? Don't spout this nonsense here."
He Lingchuan's face turned purple, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. He pushed Shen Yanxi's shoulder and shooed her out: "Have the driver pick you up and take you home. I'm working and don't have time to spend with you."
"He Lingchuan, what do you mean by this? I took the initiative to come to you, and you actually think you're something special?"
Shen Yanxi, who had been holding back for a long time, finally exploded. She raised her finger and pointed at the people in the laboratory: "You're going to kick me out of the laboratory for this woman?"
"What do you mean, all for this woman? I need to get back to work now."
He Lingchuan looked at her with some annoyance: "Can you please stop being unreasonable here?"
"I can't. You're coming back with me now, and you're never allowed to come to this lab again."
