Chapter 139: Joining the Research Institute
Xu Yingluo pinched her palms tightly to prevent her expression from getting out of control.
She raised her head, her voice trembling.
"Ache, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Chejin's gaze abruptly withdrew, as if someone had caught him thinking about something, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"nothing."
He flatly denied it.
But the inexplicable irritation in my heart could not be suppressed.
He didn't expect Xu Yueqing to leave as soon as he said so.
She saw the wound on his forehead, which was caused when he tried to stop her.
But what about her?
Without a word of concern, or even a spare glance at him, she followed Ji Bingqian away.
Xu Yueqing, are you really so heartless?
Five years, five whole years. Didn’t you love me so much that you lost yourself?
For me, you broke up with your family, worked hard, and gave me all the best things.
Now, just because I defended Luo Luo, you want to write off all our past and never have any contact with each other again in this life?
This thought was like a blunt knife, cutting back and forth in Jiang Chejin's heart.
He doesn't believe it.
He just didn't want to believe that how could the person who once treated him as the whole world just stop loving him?
Xu Yingluo felt that he was distracted again.
Alarm bells rang in her heart.
We can't let him think about it anymore!
Xu Yingluo took the initiative to reach out her hand, put it into his slightly cool palm, and clasped her fingers with his.
The warmth of their skin touching each other finally brought Jiang Chejin back to his senses for a moment.
"Ache," Xu Yingluo leaned her head gently on his shoulder, her tone soft and aggrieved, "You've been uneasy since just now, what are you thinking about?"
Her voice was very soft, and the hoarseness from crying scratched the man's heart.
Jiang Chejin came back to his senses again.
He lowered his head and looked at Xu Yingluo's pale little face.
The surging feeling of annoyance and unwillingness was instantly replaced by pity.
Why is he thinking about that heartless woman again?
The one who should be held in his hands is Luo Luo.
Jiang Chejin shook off the cold face of Xu Yueqing in his mind and softened his voice.
"Luo Luo, you just said you haven't been feeling well lately, what's wrong?"
Xu Yingluo leaned all her weight on Jiang Chejin, and her whole body was so soft that it seemed as if she had no bones.
She sighed softly, her voice filled with a sense of broken powerlessness.
"I don't know what's wrong, I've been feeling dizzy lately. Maybe I'm too tired."
"Then I'll take you for a physical examination now."
"We absolutely cannot delay taking care of our health. What if something serious happens?"
Xu Yingluo shook her head and forced a feigned smile onto her pale face.
"It's okay, Che. I'd better finish the admission procedures for the research institute first."
Jiang Chejin's brows furrowed slightly in an instant.
"Have you finally decided to join Professor Wan's team?"
Xu Yingluo nodded, lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes concealed the sinister look that flashed across her eyes, leaving only the right amount of regret.
"You know, joining the research institute has been my dream for many years. Since Professor Chen no longer has a spot, and Professor Wan has taken the initiative to invite me, I can't just give up this opportunity."
Wan Mian is a senior professor at the institute and a junior of Professor Chen.
His main research area is intelligent robot oral examination. The project he is currently working on, called TW, has reached the middle and late stages of research and development. It is a key support project of the institute and is said to be able to be launched on the market in a few months.
After learning that Xu YingLING was rejected by Professor Chen, Wan Mian immediately extended an olive branch to her.
