Chapter 608 He was very proud to be henpecked!
"..."
Pei Jinwu blushed and tilted her head to look at the man beside her.
"..."
The henpecked husband also glanced at her, his thin lips slightly upturned.
And you're even smiling proudly?
That's right.
He was very proud of being henpecked!
"We still have to go to the lab, so we can't stay for dinner."
After finishing their conversation, Shang Shiyan took Pei Jinwu's hand and stood up.
"etc."
Ms. Zhong rushed into the kitchen and came out with an exquisite lunchbox: "Auntie's cooking, Wuwu, have a taste."
"Your craftsmanship?"
Shang Shiyan pulled the little girl back two steps, a hint of disdain appearing on his handsome face.
"What's wrong?"
Ms. Zhong Man's smile vanished, and she explained angrily, "I've specifically honed my cooking skills, and it tastes pretty good."
"I'll try it."
Shang Shiyan smiled and reached out to take the lunchbox.
He had been "poisoned" by Ms. Zhong Man's cooking skills and still remembers it vividly.
I don't want Wuwu to suffer like this.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Pei Jinwu took the lunchbox first, smiling and thanking her, "I will finish it."
"good."
Zhong Man patted Pei Jinwu's hand happily, her face full of loving smiles: "If you like it, Auntie will make it for you often."
——
On the bus.
Pei Jinwu opened the lunchbox and found rice balls with a "panda pattern" on the top layer.
Below are several stir-fried side dishes.
The presentation wasn't particularly exquisite, but you could tell a lot of effort had been put into it.
Pei Jinwu picked up her chopsticks, ready to eat, when Shang Shiyan stopped her, saying, "Let me try it for you first, Ms. Zhong Man's cooking..."
"..."
Pei Jinwu ignored him, put the shredded meat in her mouth, and chewed it a couple of times.
She curled her lips into a smile.
Then he picked up another chopstick and fed it into Shang Shiyan's mouth.
"Um?"
Shang Shiyan's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, a hint of surprise rising in his dark eyes, and he smiled wickedly: "My mother's cooking skills have indeed improved a lot."
"Um."
Pei Jinwu tightened her lips, her tone slightly apologetic: "Aunt Zhong Man has several burns on the back of her hand. She must have accidentally injured herself while practicing cooking."
"So you saw it."
Shang Shiyan raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a low, husky voice, "It's alright, Mom is happy to cook for you."
"Have someone send her a box of burn ointment later."
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, feeling a pang of pity.
"I've already ordered someone to send it over." Shang Shiyan patted Pei Jinwu's hair, his tone indulgent: "Eat it, it won't taste good when it's cold."
——
Half an hour later.
The vehicle arrived at the suburban medical research institute.
"You're here?" He Huaixu was already waiting inside, wearing a white coat and goggles.
His complexion was poor, and a sense of oppression surrounded him.
"Um."
Pei Jinwu took off her coat and handed it to Shang Shiyan as usual, then tied up her long hair: "How far has the research progressed?"
"here."
He Huaixu leaned to the side and explained succinctly, "Too many ingredients are missing; the antidote simply cannot be synthesized."
"I'll give it a try."
Pei Jinwu put on goggles and gloves and plunged into the laboratory.
Check the time after you finish work.
Nearly ten hours had passed.
It's over.
She forgot that her henpecked husband was still outside.
"..."
Pei Jinwu took off her gloves and walked quickly outside, seeing the man sitting on the sofa through the glass door.
He leaned back, his eyes lightly closed, still holding her trench coat in his arms.
Could he have been waiting for her here for ten hours?
That's incredibly stupid.
The door opened, the sound startling the man from his nap.
"it's over?"
Shang Shiyan immediately stood up, strode over to Pei Jinwu's side, and asked with concern, "Are you tired? Are you hungry?"
"Have you eaten?" Pei Jinwu asked in return.
"What?" Shang Shiyan paused for a few seconds, then quickly realized, "I'm not hungry, I'll wait for you to eat together."
"..."
Pei Jinwu stared at him silently, making Shang Shiyan's scalp tingle.
What's going on?
Did I say something wrong?
Just as he was reviewing and reflecting on his actions, his collar was suddenly pulled down.
The next second.
The girl's beautiful face was magnified, and her slightly warm red lips suddenly covered mine.
"..."
Shang Shiyan paused breathing for a few seconds.
After regaining his senses, he wrapped his arms around her waist, turning the tables and gradually intensifying the action.
A few minutes later.
Pei Jinwu pushed him away, her breath unsteady, her voice hoarse: "Second brother is coming soon."
After the research was completed, she notified He Huaixu.
The words had barely left his mouth.
The door suddenly opened, and He Huaixu hurriedly walked in.
"Wuwu, is the ingredient list resolved?" He Huaixu looked at Pei Jinwu, his brows furrowing. "Why is your face so red?"
"..."
Shang Shiyan watched quietly, a smile playing on his lips.
"oh."
Pei Jinwu touched her nose and replied guiltily, "It's a little hot."
"hot?"
He Huaixu glanced in the direction of the laboratory; the temperature display showed 3℃.
To ensure drug activity, the laboratory temperature must be kept low.
"Still feeling hot at 3℃?" He Huaixu raised his hand and touched her forehead. "Are you sick?"
"No."
Pei Jinwu dodged the question and changed the subject: "I've found alternatives for the missing ingredients. But I'm still figuring out a way to get one of them."
"real?"
He Huaixu was indeed led astray, and immediately rushed into the laboratory, then excitedly ran back: "As expected of a divine doctor, we only need to solve the last component."
Half a month.
Suddenly, there was plenty of time.
"Um."
Seeing He Huaixu's happy expression, Pei Jinwu didn't expose him.
The missing components are not easy to solve.
——
On the way back.
Pei Jinwu nestled in Shang Shiyan's arms.
"The antidote must be difficult to find, right?" Shang Shiyan immediately noticed something was wrong.
If it were really that easy, it wouldn't be like this.
"Mm," Pei Jinwu replied lazily, then said slowly, "Don't tell Mom and Dad, I don't want them to worry."
"I understand."
Shang Shiyan rubbed Pei Jinwu's shoulder and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Do you need my help?"
"You can't help."
Pei Jinwu smiled faintly, her lips twitching slightly: "Mr. Shang, you should just focus on recovering."
"?"
Shang Shiyan was puzzled, but stubbornly replied, "I'm fine."
"good?"
Pei Jinwu blinked, raised an eyebrow, and said lazily, "When you kissed me just now, how come you couldn't stand up after only a few minutes?"
"..."
Shang Shiyan was speechless, his face darkening.
——
S Alliance Base.
Pei Jinwu returned to Xia Xun's side and informed her of the progress in the antidote research.
"real?"
Xia Xun was pleasantly surprised, his tense nerves relaxing after many days: "So, the antidote will be developed soon?"
"Um."
Pei Jinwu nodded, lying without changing her expression: "Just relax and wait."
Lately, she's been so worried that she can't eat or sleep.
If this continues, my health will collapse sooner or later.
"That's good."
Xia Xun patted her daughter's hand and said with a smile, "I'm relieved to hear that."
Watching her daughter leave.
The door closed.
Xia Xun's smile vanished instantly.
The little girl is lying to her.
She knew what was missing; it was something Li Xiao had gathered dozens of medical experts to research.
There is no substitute in the whole world.
The original ingredients are only available to Li Xiao.
——
besides.
