"Your man is so capable, of course he will be chosen." Zhou Yanjing said proudly, "I will not admit that I am the first."
"First place?" Shen Liwu was stunned. She knew he was good, but she didn't expect him to be so good.
"My husband is awesome." Shen Liwu wanted to kiss him, but because there were other people around, she reluctantly held back.
Zhou Yanjing touched her head, then looked at Jiang Xichi in front of him, with a sense of hostility rising in his eyes.
Jiang Xichi felt the hostility, but he did not back down. Instead, he straightened his back and looked at Zhou Yanjing calmly. The two people's gazes met in the air, as if there were two invisible swords colliding, and the air around them seemed to solidify for a few seconds.
Shen Liwu noticed the tense atmosphere between the two, gently pulled Zhou Yanjing's sleeve, and whispered: "This is Jiang Xichi, now he is my colleague, and he has been assisting me in researching treatment plans for infectious diseases during this period of time."
Zhou Yanjing nodded slightly, his voice low and cold, "Mr. Jiang, thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Xichi smiled faintly, and said calmly, "This is what I should do. Dr. Shen's ability is obvious to all, and it is my honor to work with her."
Zhou Yanjing's eyes were still stern, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his voice carried a barely perceptible edge, "Doctor Shen is indeed excellent, but she has more important things to deal with right now, so I won't bother Mr. Jiang anymore."
Shen Liwu noticed the hint in Zhou Yanjing's words, gently tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Zhou Yanjing, I'm hungry."
Zhou Yanjing withdrew his gaze from Jiang Xichi, and when he lowered his head to look at Shen Liwu, the coldness in his eyes instantly melted away, replaced by full of tenderness and care.
"Come on, I'll take you to dinner." He reached out and held her hand, his palm warm and strong, as if he wanted to crush all her fatigue between his fingers.
Shen Liwu's fingers moved slightly, feeling the warmth of his palm, the haze in his heart seemed to be dispelled a little. She nodded and let him lead her forward.
Jiangxi Chi stood still, watching the two people's backs getting farther and farther away. A complex emotion flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He turned and walked in another direction, his back looking a little lonely.
In the restaurant, Zhou Yanjing lost his previous enthusiasm and acted shy. Shen Liwu looked up at him and saw that he seemed to be hesitant to speak. She couldn't help but chuckle, "What's wrong? Weren't you so domineering just now? Now you're dragging your feet."
Zhou Yanjing's ears turned slightly red, and he tapped the table lightly with his fingers a few times, as if he was organizing his words.
"I'm just... a little jealous." He muttered in a low voice, his voice was unclear, but Shen Liwu heard it clearly.
She blinked and pretended to be stupid, "Jealous? Jealous of what?"
Zhou Yanjing looked up at her, with a hint of helplessness and doting in his eyes, "What else could it be? I feel uncomfortable with you being so close to that Jiangxi Chi."
Shen Liwu's smile deepened, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, leaned forward slightly, and got closer to him. "What a petty man. Jiang Xichi is just a partner, there is nothing between us."
Zhou Yanjing's eyes still held a hint of caution, and it was obvious that he was not completely convinced. "But the way he looks at you is not right."
"That's because everyone looks like a love rival to you." Shen Liwu poked his chest with a teasing tone, "Besides, I'm pregnant with your child now, who would dare to hit on me?"
Zhou Yanjing's brows relaxed slightly, and a smile finally appeared at the corner of his mouth. He reached out and touched her belly, which was already quite big.
"Is the child well behaved? Did he bother you? I don't know, did you not eat regularly? You look so thin."
