Chapter 94 Because We're Trying to Conceive
Hearing Lao Jin's words, Lu Yanchuan was stunned, and Shen Li was also somewhat surprised.
Lu Yanchuan smiled and said, "Maybe I wasn't very bright before..."
He answered Lao Jin in a half-joking, half-serious manner.
Old Jin added, "Be good to our Xiao Li, she sacrificed herself for you back then..."
Before Old Jin could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a clear voice, "Teacher Jin, long time no see, do you still remember me?"
Xie Yi'an followed Qiao Ming and Cen Xuan over.
His expression remained aloof and calm, with only a hint of gentle smile in his eyes.
Perhaps because Shen Li was right next to Lao Jin, Xie Yi'an's gaze seemed to drift past Shen Li almost imperceptibly.
Old Jin's unfinished sentence was interrupted by this incident.
Old Jin chuckled and said, "How could I not remember? Our top scholar, it's been a long time!"
Shen Li, who was standing to the side, had a sudden jolt when she heard what Lao Jin had just said. She had already vaguely guessed what Lao Jin wanted to say.
She was seriously injured and had to give up judo.
Even the coach only knew that she was acting bravely and wanted to stall those thugs for a while in order to prevent them from causing trouble for the Jianggao alumni.
The coach had no idea who the 'Jianggao alumnus' those hooligans were planning to find was.
It's Lu Yanchuan.
At that time, no one knew who had brought those thugs to cause trouble for Lu Yanchuan.
So Shen Li acted impulsively and went to stop the people alone, which led to that tragic result.
No one knew about this, and she had no intention of telling anyone.
Because even if they told anyone, no one would believe them; those thugs didn't admit at the time that they were planning to assassinate someone.
She even turned around and accused her of deliberately picking a fight and starting it...
She never intended to use this incident to curry favor with Lu Yanchuan.
Moreover, her injuries were quite severe at the time, and after several months of recuperation, when she returned to school, Lu Yanchuan had already gone abroad.
In short, so many years have passed and the matter has long been settled. Shen Li never expected that Lao Jin would know.
Old Jin's interruption just now gave Shen Li a subtle feeling that she couldn't quite describe.
Perhaps because they never imagined that anyone would know what happened back then.
Shen Li even hoped that Lao Jin would reveal what happened back then, and was curious about how Lu Yanchuan would react.
But since I've been interrupted, I'll just let it go.
Lu Yanchuan frowned as he listened to Lao Jin's half-finished sentence.
What was that old man trying to say?
Did Shen Li sacrifice herself for him back then?
When? Are you referring to their marriage, and does that mean Shen Li made sacrifices for their marriage?
Lu Yanchuan found a reasonable explanation in his mind.
That makes sense.
Seeing that it was almost time, Shen Li prepared to leave.
She glanced sideways at Lu Yanchuan and whispered, "It's almost time. Let's go. If we don't leave soon, they might come looking for you to drink with..."
Before Shen Li could finish speaking, Xie Yi'an's voice came over, "Xiao Li, it's been a long time. Let me toast you."
Shen Li looked up and met Xie Yi'an's eyes, which were strikingly similar to Lu Yanchuan's.
Although she has a calm personality, it's impossible for her not to feel awkward when meeting her ex.
Shen Li just wanted to finish her drink quickly and leave. "Ah, okay."
She reached for her wine glass, but before she could lift it, a long, slender hand with a ring on its ring finger pressed the rim of the glass down.
Then the owner of that hand picked up her wine glass.
Lu Yanchuan looked at Xie Yi'an and said, "I'm sorry, my wife can't drink alcohol, so I'll drink it for her."
Qu Xiang, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed upon hearing this, thinking to herself: "Excuse me, Mr. Lu, your wife has already had two rounds of drinks with everyone! Isn't it a bit late for you to come and play the hero now?"
But given the current atmosphere, Qu Xiang could only mutter these thoughts to herself; she couldn't possibly say them aloud.
But who knows? There will always be people like this in a group: not bad people, but not good at judging situations, and not very emotionally intelligent.
When he realizes something, he'll say it as if he's suddenly enlightened.
Then someone else said, "Huh? Can't we drink? But Shen Li already drank with us twice..."
Shen Li: "..."
Qu Xiang: "..."
Qu Xiang couldn't help but watch to see what kind of expression and reaction President Lu would have, but to her surprise, President Lu's emotions were quite stable.
"Is that so?" Lu Yanchuan glanced at Shen Li sideways. "Then you're being very naughty."
To everyone else, it sounded like sweet nothings between a husband and wife.
Some people have even begun to doubt whether the rumors about President Lu and his wife having a bad relationship are false.
"Why can't Xiao Li drink alcohol? I remember she doesn't have an alcohol allergy."
Although Xie Yi'an was speaking to Lu Yanchuan, her eyes were fixed on Shen Li as she said this.
"When everyone was having a farewell dinner after the college entrance exam, Xiao Li did not have any allergic reaction to alcohol."
"Besides, we've already had two rounds of drinks, so why can't we drink now?"
It sounds like I absolutely have to drink this glass of wine with Shen Li today.
Qiao Ming and Cen Xuan tried to persuade him, knowing that Xie Yi'an was not usually like this.
This person must have been provoked! They're deliberately trying to provoke someone here.
It's probably not because of the alcohol at all, but because of Lu Yanchuan's attitude of making decisions for Shen Li that she's unhappy.
Upon hearing Xie Yi'an's words, the faint smile that had been on Lu Yanchuan's face also faded.
His voice was calm, but the content of his words was quite damaging.
"Oh, because we're trying to conceive," Lu Yanchuan said without changing his expression.
"Pfft!" Qu Xiang almost choked on her drink, her eyes widening in surprise.
She never dreamed that Lu Yanchuan's ability to lie through his teeth was so impressive...
Upon hearing this, Shen Li's eyes widened slightly.
An old classmate nearby jokingly remarked, "Oh my, no wonder Shen Li wanted to leave first earlier. He must have a mission to complete, right?"
Xie Yi'an's lips tightened immediately, and her eyes darkened.
Lu Yanchuan, however, smiled wickedly as he listened to the other students' good-natured teasing.
He tilted his head back and downed the wine in Chen Li's glass in one gulp, then smiled and said, "Yes, I'll take that person with me first. Please understand, everyone. Long live understanding!"
"Everyone, eat and drink whatever you like today, it's on my tab," Lu Yanchuan said, then pulled Shen Li to her feet to say goodbye to Lao Jin.
It seems that the atmosphere between Lu Yanchuan and Shen Li looks alright.
Old Jin was relieved and didn't say anything more. He just smiled at Shen Li and said, "Then your teacher will wait for your good news?"
It's obvious that she genuinely believes she and Lu Yanchuan are trying to conceive!
