Chapter 125, She is my wife
After receiving Jiang Ran's promise, Qi Yao thanked him gratefully: "Ranran, thank you. If you need my help in the future, I will definitely do my best to help you."
The girl was so righteous that Jiang Ran couldn't help but laugh: "Well, I won't be polite with you."
She doesn't have many friends in the base, and it's rare to have a girl like Qi Yao who is so considerate and has similar values as her friend. Jiang Ran doesn't think she is a powerful person, but she still hopes to do her best to help wherever she can.
…
The decision to move out was not made on impulse. She knew what Chu Yuan was thinking at the moment, and she was also aware of the preparations she had made.
She was Qi Yuan's sister, the girl he once loved and the one he loved the most. Even for the sake of the deceased Qi Yuan, he would not ask her to leave.
Just because he didn't say anything didn't mean she could continue to shamelessly cling to him for protection.
She was such a proud person that when faced with the invasion of a superpower, she could resolutely cut her face and seek safety on the road at the cost of disfigurement. Now she couldn't stay with him and eat and drink for free.
Moreover, as they were together day and night, it was even more impossible for him to calm down and listen to her explanation.
Since living under the same roof is torture, she would rather cut the Gordian knot.
However, the girl did not move out of Chu Yuan's house in the end.
She thought Chu Yuan deliberately didn't go home to avoid her, but when she brought Jiang Ran back to the apartment to pack her things, she found that the door of the master bedroom was slightly open and the young man was packing his luggage.
Jiang Ran knocked on the door and peeked inside: "Captain Chu, are you going on a mission?"
"Um."
After simply packing two pieces of clothing, Chu Yuan closed the suitcase, stood up, holding the suitcase, and looked at the familiar face of the girl behind Jiang Ran.
There was a hint of caution in her eyes, but more of it was a determination and pride that would never appear in Qi Yuan.
After regaining her memory, she got rid of the shadow of "Qi Yuan" overnight and became the original "Qi Yao".
Chu Yuan stared at her for a moment and said calmly, "I've been busy these past few days, and this mission came suddenly. When I come back, we'll have a good talk."
Qi Yao was about to say she was planning to move out when Jiang Ran grabbed her wrist. She moved her lips, but no sound came out. She turned to look at Jiang Ran, who replied sweetly, "Okay, I'll take care of it, little sister. Captain Chu, don't worry. Be careful on this mission."
Chu Yuan nodded: "It's the same for you guys at the base. If you run into trouble, go ask Seventh Brother for help."
"Understood, Captain."
Chu Yuan's gaze moved to the girl's face, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly remembering that they had encountered the same situation not long ago at the blockade, Qi Yao hesitated and replied, imitating Jiang Ran's tone, "I understand, Captain."
Chu Yuan nodded and went out with his suitcase.
After everyone left, Qi Yao sighed and looked very depressed.
Knowing what she was worried about, Jiang Ran patted her shoulder and comforted her: "It seems that Captain Chu is not deliberately avoiding, he is really very busy - let's wait until he comes back and talk about it."
He had already left, and she couldn't just move out while he wasn't home, as it would make her feel like a deserter. Besides, he had already said he would talk to her when he came back...
The girl's eyes turned determined: "I'll wait here for him to come back."
When he comes back, she will always pay him back what she owes him.
…
When receiving the mission message, Si Xu remained silent and did not speak immediately.
As soon as he fell silent, no one in the meeting room dared to say a word.
The man's eyes were always on the meeting materials. He read one page carefully and then turned to the next.
Shen Lang leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowed, a leisurely expression on his face as he waited. Luo Rui and Xie Chengzhi sat on either side of him, also pursing their lips in silence.
As the captain of the superpower team, Wei Yage sat next to Su Qin, his body straight, his eyes never leaving Si Xu.
Finally, Si Xu finished reading the information.
The man returned to his usual lazy demeanor, pushing the documents forward and placing them on the table.
"Professor Si, what do you think?" Shen Lang opened his eyes, his eyes dark as he looked at Si Xu.
Si Xu rested one hand on the conference table, his fingers tapping lightly on it. Upon hearing this, his peach blossom eyes revealed an undisguised coldness, a hint of sarcasm.
"I don't think so."
The man spoke calmly, and his answer sounded like a provocation, but those who knew him knew that he was just expressing his disagreement more concisely.
No big deal, it just means I’m not optimistic about it, I don’t agree with it, and I don’t recommend it.
Although he thought he had experienced many ups and downs and had seen all kinds of people, Shen Lang was still very angry at his indifferent tone.
The old man glanced at the boy next to him, and Xie Chengzhi understood and said, "Professor Si, I think..."
"Who are you?" Si Xu interrupted him coldly, remembering his past identity, his tone impatient, "Can anyone come in and out of the conference room at will now?"
Aside from Shen Lang, this was the first time Professor Si had singled out someone for dislike. Everyone looked at Xie Chengzhi, their expressions varied, many sarcastic.
Xie Chengzhi's face flushed red at his contemptuous tone, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond to him.
Seeing Xie Chengzhi's embarrassment, Shen Lang coughed softly and said calmly: "They are the people I brought here, Professor Si."
I originally thought that young people were too ambitious and that setbacks could temper their edge, but Si Xu's sarcasm was a slap in his face, so the old man naturally would not ignore it.
"Professor Si also said that no one outside the conference room is allowed to enter. I remember that last time, Professor Si brought Ranran..." The old man paused, but the meaning of his words was already very clear.
"Ranran is not an outsider." Si Xu's lips curled up with a bit of nonchalant arc, and he said leisurely, "Ranran is my family member, my wife."
What kind of shameless answer is this?! Coughing sounds echoed throughout the conference room, and the onlookers crouched low as much as possible to minimize their presence.
Shen Lang was also almost choked by the man's straightforward answer. The veins on his forehead kept throbbing, and the fingers holding the cane curled up tightly to restrain his surging anger.
Wife? This guy really wants to treat Jiang Ranran as his wife. Why doesn't he take me, the elder, seriously?
"Master Chen, time is running out, let's get down to business." Every word the young man said pierced her heart like a thorn. Not wanting to stay in the meeting room any longer, Wei Yage said directly, "Although Professor Si thinks it's inappropriate, we shouldn't give up even if there's only a glimmer of hope for a virus vaccine. I'm applying to go to Zhoushan City's No. 1 Laboratory and retrieve the information."
The laboratories that conducted this virus experiment were not only in Xiling, but also in Zhoushan City and Beihe City.
After the disaster, the experimental bases in Zhoushan and Beihe were forced to be abandoned. Most of the staff died in the disaster, and naturally no one sorted out the relevant information.
The material problems at the Xiling base have been temporarily solved, and various crop test sites and related practices are proceeding in an orderly manner. They can now devote most of their manpower and material resources to solving virus-related problems.
I thought this was a decision that everyone would support, but who knew that Si Xu would be the first to jump out and oppose it.
Why "again"? Because ever since Si Xu took over the lab, he has never once agreed with Shen Lang's decisions.
