Chapter 151 He Wants Her
The laboratory equipment is relatively simple, but it is all top-of-the-line, with functions such as biological extraction, heat preservation, and culture.
Gu Xingnian stood in front of the whiteboard and said seriously, "The plant component extraction that the laboratory needs to do is a very simple preliminary work. There are 24 kinds of plants in total, and each of you will be responsible for four kinds. You only have 5 days."
After extraction, it is mixed with two special solutions according to my equation. If the data meets the requirements, it is considered successful.
Applause erupted. To be able to conduct experiments with N-God is an incredibly prestigious achievement.
Lin Qi walked up and solemnly announced, "President Fu said that those who successfully complete the mission will be hired as lifelong consultants by Fu's laboratory in Country S, with an annual salary of no less than ten million."
"Even those who fail to complete the task will receive a reward of five million. I hope everyone will seize this opportunity."
Lifetime! Tens of millions!
Everyone was clearly excited upon hearing the news, feeling incredibly lucky to have been selected and to be hired as a lifelong consultant for the Fu family.
I'd be laughing in my sleep!
The female PhD student, Jian Yi, stood at the very back, a slight smile playing on her lips. She knew perfectly well: Fu Beichen was trying to buy his life with money.
Just wait, it's time to avenge the humiliation he brought her back then!
Gu Xingnian told everyone to rest, and that the raw materials to be extracted would be delivered in the evening.
Everyone watched her leave with respect.
When Gu Xingnian returned to the villa, it was nearly evening.
Xia Yuan and another group of people had already arrived, and the villa's hall was bustling with noise.
As soon as everyone saw her and Fu Beichen, they stood up and greeted them warmly.
"Hello, Miss Gu! Hello, Mr. Fu!"
Gu Xingnian's gaze swept across the room. All three of the doctoral candidates she had designated were present, and a young face caught her eye.
Ling Zhe!
Professor Frank's youngest son, according to seniority, should call his aunt.
"Ling Zhe!" She ran over to him in surprise and gave him a big hug.
Ling Zhe was very tall, a head taller than her. He hugged her back, smiling brightly: "Sister Niannian, it's been a long time."
He never called her "aunt," but only "Sister Niannian," which made them seem exceptionally close.
Fu Beichen looked at the two people who were tightly embracing each other, his handsome face instantly darkened, and the pressure around him dropped sharply.
He took a few steps forward, subtly pulled Gu Xingnian away, and naturally put his arm around her waist, saying in an ambiguous tone, "I'm hungry."
The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
Everyone present was stunned.
Didn't Mr. Fu divorce Ms. Gu?
Their posture and tone make them look like a loving young couple!
Lin Qi quickly stepped in to save the day, "Dear Doctors, you must be tired from your journey. The rooms have all been arranged, and the welcome banquet is ready. Let me take you to rest first."
Gu Xingnian shook off Fu Beichen's hand and quickly instructed Lin Qi: "Set up the second laboratory on the fifth floor of that small building at the back. Have two large rooms cleared out. Assign the team members to stay on the sixth floor, where there are exactly five rooms."
She went to check it out; the small building at the back had a floor area of 1,500 square meters and six floors in total. The bodyguards and servants lived on the bottom three floors, which was enough space.
Fu Beichen's face grew even more gloomy.
That small building is too close to the main villa. Letting this kid live there would be like having a free ride.
He said in a deep voice, "This place is too small and inconvenient. Besides, the important equipment has already been installed in the villa down the mountain."
Gu Denian turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow: "Didn't you say that I would be in charge of this research?"
Fu Beichen's Adam's apple bobbed. Meeting her clear yet slightly provocative gaze, he finally relented, "Then let's do it your way."
Lin Qi quickly stepped forward again, "Everyone has worked hard. Let me take you to your accommodations first."
Ling Zhe gave Fu Beichen a meaningful look, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain.
This man is not good enough for Sister Nian Nian at all.
Fu Beichen naturally felt that gaze as well, and returned it with his own eyes, thinking, "You brat, are you even an adult yet? How dare you try to steal someone from me!"
Gu Xingnian ignored the undercurrent between the two men and turned to Fu Beichen, saying...
"Aren't you hungry? I'll go cook."
He's become very picky about food; he only eats what she cooks herself, and he won't touch anything prepared by the servants.
Gu Xingnian walked into the kitchen.
The maid had already washed and chopped all the ingredients as she had instructed.
Her right hand couldn't touch water yet, so she reached out her left hand and carefully placed the prepared ingredients into the soup bowl.
She was making soup for him.
He lost a lot of blood and looked quite haggard; he needs to replenish his energy.
Fu Beichen watched her slender figure bustling around in the kitchen with one hand, and a soft feeling welled up inside him.
He walked over quietly, gently hugged her from behind, and rested his chin on the crook of her neck.
His warm breath brushed against her ear, and his voice was deep and gentle, "Your hand is injured, let me do it."
Gu Xingnian stiffened for a moment, then relaxed and turned to look at him.
"Then promise me that you will eat everything, whether I cook it or the maid cooks it, and you won't be picky about food, okay?"
She paused, then added, "I'll be very busy going forward, and I might not be able to come over and cook for you on time every day."
Fu Beichen was silent for a few seconds, feeling the soft body in his arms, and then gave a soft "Mmm," "Okay. But there has to be a reward."
"What reward?" Gu Xingnian asked.
He didn't say anything, but simply turned her body around so she was facing him, then lowered his head and kissed her lips.
His eyes flickered, and he actually tasted it; there was a hint of sweetness in her mouth.
...
Meanwhile, Sheng Weiwei stood in front of the massive iron gates of Los Castle, the cold wind making her cheeks numb.
She had been waiting for a long time, but neither the people inside came out to announce her arrival, nor did the guards at the door stop her from going in.
She turned her head and coldly ordered the bodyguard beside her, "Dali, beat them up!"
Fang Li was a bodyguard that Zhan Xiao had specially arranged for her; he was extremely skilled.
He nodded and winked at the two bodyguards behind him.
The three of them charged down the mountain like tigers, instantly engaging the castle guards in battle.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Sheng Weiwei's petite figure nimbly slipped through a gap and headed straight for the castle gate.
A black Maybach was parked quietly in front of the door.
Suddenly, a familiar, tall figure emerged from the castle gates and came into her view.
Sheng Weiwei stopped in her tracks.
War lord.
He was holding a woman in his arms.
The woman was wrapped in a soft, thin blanket, revealing only her fair, rounded shoulders and a section of her slender arms. Her neck was covered with ambiguous marks of varying depths.
The woman's face was buried in Zhan Xiao's chest, making it difficult to see clearly, but Sheng Weiwei was all too familiar with that languid, weary, yet satisfied expression.
Once upon a time, Zhan Xiao held her like this, leaving the same marks on her body.
This scene was like countless sharp needles piercing her eyes, causing her heart to ache.
She was worried about his safety and stood outside in the cold wind for two hours.
Zhan Xiao, holding the woman, suddenly looked up and his gaze met Sheng Weiwei, who was not far away.
His eyes were calm and expressionless, as if he hadn't seen her at all. He carried the woman in his arms to the waiting car, which then sped away.
Sheng Weiwei stood there, staring at the departing car, her expression frighteningly calm.
...
It was late at night, but the laboratory lights were still on.
That evening, after the raw materials were distributed, the two groups of doctoral students raced against time to get to work on the experiment.
Gu Xingnian was in charge of researching two poisons: "Seven-Colored Brocade" and "Nine Heavens Warmth".
The warmth of the nine heavens can only be obtained by returning to her master's old house.
Her eyes dimmed as she thought of her master.
She knew that Lu Lie wouldn't be so heartless as to harm her master, but her master was so old, and she felt a pang of sadness because of her.
After 11 o'clock, Gu Xingnian told everyone to go and rest, while she herself continued to work in the laboratory.
He was checking the data on the precision instruments while quickly recording it.
After finishing her notes, she wearily rubbed her temples.
Suddenly, my body felt light, and I was lifted up in a horizontal embrace.
She was startled and opened her eyes abruptly, only to be met with Fu Beichen's magnified handsome face.
His face was expressionless, but his tone was domineering and left no room for argument: "Go back and rest. I have no intention of trading your life for my own."
Gu Xingnian struggled for a moment, "Put me down, I can walk by myself."
Fu Beichen hugged her tighter and said in a deep voice, "It's cold outside, I can block the wind."
She was speechless.
Stepping out of the small building, a biting north wind blew, and it was indeed very cold. She instinctively snuggled closer into his arms.
Back in her room, Gu Xingnian went to the bathroom to take a shower and wash her hair.
It was nearly midnight when she came out.
She looked utterly exhausted as she held a towel and gently wiped her wet hair.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door.
Fu Beichen pushed open the door and entered, surprisingly holding a hairdryer in his hand.
He walked up behind her, plugged in the power cord, and turned it on.
A warm breeze caressed her hair as his long, slender fingers ran gently through her damp hair.
Gu Xingnian looked at the scene reflected in the dressing mirror and was deeply moved.
In the mirror, his expression was gentle and focused.
Back when they were still husband and wife, she had fantasized about one day being able to enjoy such meticulous service from him.
Unexpectedly, this scene is happening now, even after their divorce.
The buzzing of the hair dryer sounded somewhat noisy in the dead of night, and it also disturbed her peace of mind.
He unplugged the power cord when his hair was about 90% dry.
Gu Xingnian stood up, intending to go to bed.
He embraced her tightly from behind, showering her neck with passionate kisses and gently nibbling her earlobe...
He had kissed her like that before, but it was a dangerous signal.
An ambiguous atmosphere filled the room, and scenes of intimate entanglements from the past uncontrollably flooded into his mind.
It's been a long time... since I've done it.
At this moment, Fu Beichen desperately wanted her.
Gu Xingnian's body stiffened, and she tried to pull her drifting reason back.
"Fu Beichen, get out!" Her voice was deliberately cold.
Fu Beichen seemed not to hear her, tightened his arms, picked her up in his arms, and strode towards the bed.
