Chapter 1038 Mr. Shang Selflessly Dedicates His "Wife"
The next day.
Pei Jinwu saw the crumpled box in the trash can and asked in confusion, "So many, you ate them all?"
"Um."
Shang Shiyan was packing her things and responded indifferently.
Today is the last day of the exchange meeting, and I can go back to Beijing after it ends.
Shang Shiyan simply put aside his work and waited for her in City A.
How does it taste?
Pei Jinwu leaned against the corner of the table, her eyes darting around curiously as she asked.
She remembered that Shang Shiyan didn't like sweets.
"Um?"
Shang Shiyan took the coat, walked up to Pei Jinwu, put it on her, and said very seriously, "It tastes terrible."
"That's outrageous?" Pei Jinwu opened her arms, letting them fuss over her, and blinked, saying, "It tasted awful, yet you ate it all."
"Wasting food is shameful." Shang Shiyan pinched her cheek. "I bought you other desserts, they're tastier than that."
Pei Jinwu took a bite; the cream was smooth, and the rich mango flavor melted between her lips and teeth.
"Delicious!" she exclaimed with delight.
"Um."
Shang Shiyan smiled with satisfaction and said in a serious tone, "I'll buy you whatever you want to eat in the future."
Don't eat what other smelly men buy.
——
Tidy up.
Shang Shiyan held his bag in his left hand and led Pei Jinwu out with his right.
He met up with Professor Tong, Lu Jinglan, and others in the lobby.
"Mr. Shang, what brings you here?" Upon seeing Shang Shiyan, Professor Tong couldn't help but tease, "You two have such a good relationship, can't you stand being apart for just two days?"
"Um."
Shang Shiyan pulled Pei Jinwu in front of him and smiled, "It's my fault for being so clingy to my wife."
"!"
Pei Jinwu nudged him, telling him not to talk nonsense.
"Oh."
Instead of getting angry, Shang Shiyan smiled and moved even closer to his wife.
The senior students were all stunned.
The businessman I saw online and the businessman I saw in real life seem to be two different people.
In real life, he's a doting husband.
"By the way, Mr. Lu." Shang Shiyan glanced at Lu Jinglan and said, "Thank you for the meal. It tasted pretty good."
"I'm glad Mr. Shang likes it." Lu Jinglan couldn't manage a smile.
"Let's go, let's go, it's almost time."
Professor Tong was focused on his work and didn't notice the awkward atmosphere at all.
3 PM.
The exchange meeting concluded, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Pei Jinwu packed her things and headed out, where she bumped into Lu Jinglan at the door.
"Miss Blank".
Lu Jinglan immediately stepped forward, staring at her eagerly: "Let me take it for you."
"Need not."
Pei Jinwu dodged away and readily replied, "I'm not used to people touching my things."
"……good."
Lu Jinglan's hand froze, feeling somewhat disappointed; in her heart, he was just someone else.
"Just call me by my name from now on." Pei Jinwu took out her phone and "reported her itinerary" to Shang Shiyan.
Pei Jinwu?
Lu Jinglan stared at Pei Jinwu, and finally followed the others, politely calling her "God Pei".
Although he was older than her, he respected and appreciated her from the bottom of his heart.
If Pei Shen hadn't pulled him back then, he might have died in a corner of the bar long ago.
Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today.
She gave him his life.
...
At the entrance.
Shang Shiyan was waiting outside the car early, and immediately went to greet Pei Jinwu when he saw her.
"Exhausted."
Pei Jinwu naturally handed the bag to Shang Shiyan and snuggled into his arms.
"Then let's go home."
Shang Shiyan hugged her with one arm, a doting smile playing on his lips.
"Where does Mr. Lu live? Shall I give you a ride?"
"Need not."
Lu Jinglan pursed her lips and said softly, "I still have some things to take care of at the venue, so I won't leave for the time being."
"OK."
Shang Shiyan asked politely, then said casually, "Then we'll be going now."
"OK."
Lu Jinglan stood still and greeted Pei Jinwu: "Pei Shen, see you on Monday."
"OK".
Pei Jinwu sat in the passenger seat, looking exhausted: "Since you're back, go see your grandma."
"I will."
Lu Jinglan smiled; Pei Shen was still as gentle and kind as ever.
"Thud—"
Shang Shiyan leaned over and stood between the two of them to fasten their seatbelts: "You can take a nap."
"oh."
Pei Jinwu nodded and obediently closed her eyes.
"Goodbye, Mr. Lu." Shang Shiyan greeted Lu Jinglan, rolled up the car window without hesitation, started the engine, and drove away.
"..."
Lu Jinglan stood there, watching the sports car drive away, lost in thought for a long time.
It seems that Pei Shen really likes Shang Shiyan.
——
The capital city.
Pei Jinwu slept for two whole days and finally regained some of her energy.
When I woke up in the evening.
The sky was overcast, and Shang Shiyan sat above her, silently scrolling through his computer.
"Awake?" Seeing the girl on his lap wake up, Shang Shiyan raised an eyebrow and smiled. "You slept for three hours. Are you hungry?"
"good."
Pei Jinwu got up, snuggled into his arms, and looked at his computer screen: "There's something I want to discuss with you."
"Um?"
Shang Shiyan lowered his eyes and adjusted his posture to make her more comfortable: "Discuss me? Has the sun risen in the west?"
"Tsk."
Pei Jinwu patted his thigh and gestured with her lip: "I hope I can join the country's SR project."
"The SR project?"
Shang Shiyan stopped what he was doing and his expression turned serious.
He had heard about this project before.
The higher-ups attached great importance to this and issued a strict order: success was the only option, failure was not permitted.
Therefore, those who participate in the research must have strong abilities and psychological resilience.
Wuwu is an expert in this field; it's only a matter of time before she gets invited.
“It will be tough.” Shang Shiyan put his arm around her waist and said softly, “I respect your choice. If you want to participate, I will fully support you.”
“It’s nothing to suffer a little if it benefits humanity.” Pei Jinwu lifted her eyelashes, her eyes sparkling: “Professor Tong said there will be lots of delicious food.”
"For food?"
Shang Shiyan hugged his wife tightly and chuckled softly, "How can you be so cute, Wuwu?"
"So I agree?" Pei Jinwu poked his arm, her eyes sparkling: "After participating in this project, I'll have less time to spend with you."
How long will the research and development take?
"It looks like it will take two years." Pei Jinwu had done some research on this privately.
This is in response to attacks from foreign hacker systems. As their technology becomes more sophisticated, their research and development must also constantly evolve.
While defending against the enemy's attack, we must also find a way to counterattack.
This is a protracted war that will require a significant investment of manpower, resources, and funds.
"Only two years." Shang Shiyan smiled and said softly, "You said it yourself, it's for the benefit of mankind. My wife is so patriotic, so of course her husband should support her unconditionally."
"What's more, we have many, many more two-year periods ahead of us."
"You're so understanding, Master Shang."
Pei Jinwu pinched Shang Shiyan's cheek, put her arms around his neck, and smiled faintly: "On behalf of humanity, I thank Mr. Shang for his selfless dedication of his 'wife.'"
"You know I'm not only understanding, I'm also good at understanding—"
That's enough.
Pei Jinwu quickly covered his mouth, her cheeks burning:
"Shut your mouth, little mouth."
