Chapter 94 Wherever you are, there I am.
Lu Chen was walking towards this side, but Xu Nuo and the other three hadn't noticed it at all.
After finishing talking about work, Qin Huayun picked up the topic that was interrupted again: "Xu Nuo, I heard that you just turned 18. You are so young and have such outstanding abilities, you must have a lot of suitors, right? How is it? Is there anyone you like?"
"Yes." Xu Nuo smiled and said, "Aunt Qin, I have someone I like, and I'm already married."
"marry?"
Qin Huayun and Ling Sheng were both stunned when they heard this.
"You got married so early?" Qin Huayun was surprised. "Are you kidding us? What does your husband do for a living?"
"Her husband is me, a professional soldier." A deep voice came, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the anger hidden in this cold tone.
Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Nuo was startled. When he was about to look back, a green figure appeared beside him.
"Lu Chen, why...why are you here?"
Lu Chen looked at Xu Nuo, frowning slightly, and opened his thin lips. The words of reproach rolled on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't have the heart to say it out loud: "You haven't come home yet, I'm worried about you. I happened to see Zhuang Tian saying that you were having dinner here, so I came to take you home."
"Ah?" Xu Nuo was puzzled. "I called you, and it was your regiment's signalman who answered the phone. I asked him to tell you about this. Maybe he forgot about it."
"You called me?"
Xu Nuo nodded affirmatively: "Yes. I called your home but no one answered. Then I called your workplace."
It turned out that she was still thinking about this matter. Lu Chen's gloomy expression improved a little: "Xiao Zhao didn't see me, so I didn't get to tell him about it."
"No wonder." After Xu Nuo explained the situation to Lu Chen, he hurriedly introduced them to each other, "Aunt Qin, Deputy Director Ling, this is my husband Lu Chen."
When Ling Sheng saw Lu Chen, he felt an indescribable disappointment in his heart.
Out of politeness, he stood up and extended his hand: "Hello, I'm Ling Sheng!"
"This is the Deputy Director Ling of our department that I told you about. He is a medical talent poached from the military hospital and a top student who returned from studying abroad."
Lu Chen lowered his eyes and glanced at the hand he extended, then held it tightly. His sharp, cold eyes stared into his eyes, and he uttered two short words from his thin lips: "Lu Chen."
"This is..." Xu Nuo was about to introduce Qin Huayun but was interrupted by her.
"I'll do it myself." Qin Huayun stood up slowly, tears flickering in her complex eyes. Her lips trembled slightly, and her voice seemed to age a little in an instant. "Long time no see, Chenchen."
Lu Chen looked at the woman in front of him. More than ten years ago, she was in her prime, a talented and beautiful woman praised by everyone.
Now, her face has begun to age, but her charm is still as good as before, and she is still as elegant and calm as before, but she has become so unfamiliar.
It's right in front of me, but it seems like there's a chasm between us.
Compared to his last emotional fluctuations, Lu Chen was much more stable this time.
He did not respond to Qin Huayun's words. He looked past her, as if looking past something that was an eyesore: "Deputy Director Ling, I'm here to take my wife home. I won't have dinner. Goodbye."
He grabbed Xu Nuo's wrist and was about to leave.
Xu Nuo was confused by the scene before her. She felt very puzzled, but couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Since Lu Chen wanted to take her away, he must have his reasons.
"Sorry, I have to go now. Deputy Director Ling, if you have any questions, let's talk about it in detail tomorrow when we get to the office! I'm sorry for the expense today! Thank you for treating me to a meal!"
"Wait." Qin Huayun hurriedly stopped Xu Nuo and Lu Chen, "Since you are here, why don't you stay and have dinner together before leaving."
Lu Chen said coldly: "No need."
He doesn't need this meal.
Qin Huayun's eyes were red, tears welled up in them. She looked at Xu Nuo and begged her, "Nuo Nuo, can you stay for dinner? Please help me keep Chen Chen as well."
Xu Nuo was stunned.
Qin Huayun actually cried. She was chatting and laughing just now, but when she saw Lu Chen, she actually shed tears.
There must be some story between these two people!
Xu Nuo looked at her eyebrows and eyes which were three-quarters similar to Lu Chen, and a vague idea formed in her mind. But, she quickly denied this idea.
"Aunt Qin, what's wrong with you?" Xu Nuo asked.
If he wants him to keep Lu Chen, he has to tell her what the situation is, right?
"What are you staying for?" Lu Chen's brows were cold, his eyes were cold, "Stay and see how you help your son to steal my girl? Hmm? I think it's not necessary!"
"Shenchen!" Qin Huayun's eyes were filled with tears. "I...I know it's too late to say anything now."
Lu Chen said coldly: "Then don't say anything. If you don't say anything, I won't say anything either. Just pretend nothing happened. Ms. Qin, please leave this piece of peace to me."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Nuo and asked her, "Do you want to go home with me?"
Xu Nuo grasped his arm with her soft fingers: "Where else can I go if I don't go home with you? Of course, wherever you are, I will be there."
"Okay, let's go home then." Lu Chen held Xu Nuo's hand and walked through the crowd's gazes.
After leaving the restaurant, the two returned to the car.
He sat in the driver's seat and Xu Nuo sat in the passenger seat.
Lu Chen's face was not very good, and Xu Nuo was not in a hurry to ask him about what happened just now. Instead, he waited until he calmed down a little and started the car before speaking: "Lu Chen, do you have anything to tell me? If you want to tell me, I'm always here to listen. If you don't want to say it for the time being, I will wait until you want to tell me, okay?"
Lu Chen glanced at Xu Nuo, then he grabbed Xu Nuo's hand and gave her a soft kiss on the back of her hand: "There's nothing you can't tell me. You should have guessed what Ms. Qin was talking about just now. She's my mother, my biological mother."
Xu Nuo was shocked: "I heard from mom...your biological mother has passed away, right?"
"In my heart, she is indeed dead." Lu Chen's words were cold, and there seemed to be a layer of cold frost and snow between his brows.
Xu Nuo had heard rumors before that Lu Chen was aloof and not good at talking, and she felt that this was a bit exaggerated.
Lu Chen is a man of few words, but he is not untalkative, nor is he aloof. It seems that he just doesn't like to laugh.
Now it seems that this is true.
He really looked like an iceberg that was difficult to approach just now, with a chilly aura emanating from his entire body.
Xu Nuo waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't say anything more, he didn't ask him any further.
It is obvious that there is a gap between the mother and the son, and it is a deep gap. It is not appropriate to ask him this question, maybe it would be more appropriate to ask someone else.
Xu Nuo swallowed the questions she wanted to ask and just held his hand tightly, telling him with her actions that she was there.
Lu Chen felt her warmth and felt much better than before.
"Why did you go to dinner with him tonight?" He finally asked the question after holding it in for the entire night.
"Oh, it's about work. The hospital's pediatric department is planning to set up a surgical department, which will be led by Ling Sheng. He wants me to join the department, and we'll talk about this at dinner tonight." Xu Nuo said.
Lu Chen was a little surprised: "You can also perform surgery?"
Where did she learn all these skills?
That's amazing!
He was really glad that it was him who married Xu Nuo and not Xu Cheng.
I don’t know if that guy is beating his chest in the middle of the night in regret now that he knows all this.
"Yeah." Xu Nuo repeated what he had said to Ling Sheng before, dispelling his curiosity about the matter.
"Ling Sheng seems to appreciate you very much?"
"Not bad." Xu Nuo explained, "Maybe it's because I've been learning from him. During this time, I've gotten to know his personality better. After working together on a few surgeries, I can understand his expression. I should say that he and I have the best cooperation in this department."
Generally speaking, in this situation, when a leader wants to take the lead in a new project, he will naturally look for subordinates who are in sync with him to work together.
Xu Nuo thought that Lu Chen would understand after this explanation.
"Oh? Really?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows. "Such tacit understanding, better than anyone else's?"
Including him?
Xu Nuo responded subconsciously: "Yeah."
The main thing is that Ling Sheng is a straightforward person. Whatever he does or says, he is almost always straightforward. Don't bother guessing.
Lu Chen is different from him.
Lu Chen's mind was deep, and his eyes were often calm. Of course, as the highest military commander of a regiment, it would be troublesome if anyone could guess his thoughts.
Thinking of this, Xu Nuo was lost in thought.
It can be seen that Qin Huayun's appearance had a great impact on Lu Chen, especially tonight. From what Lu Chen said, it seemed that Qin Huayun introduced her to Ling Sheng as his girlfriend?
She has been in the hospital for so long, everyone knows that she is Captain Lu’s wife, but Ling Sheng doesn’t even know it.
Otherwise, Qin Huayun wouldn't have asked her if she was single...
Xu Nuo was lost in thought and didn't notice that the man next to him was beginning to radiate coldness again.
Hearing Xu Nuo's answer, Lu Chen's fingers clenched so tightly around the steering wheel that they turned white. He felt annoyed, but no expression could be seen on his face.
He saw Xu Nuo looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking about.
Then he asked again: "Is Ling Sheng an excellent person?"
Xu Nuo said, "Well, he is very good. He graduated from a famous foreign university and received many scholarships from the school. After graduation, his school hired him to continue his research with a high salary. He insisted on returning to China, and Beijing and Shanghai were vying for such talents. He is considered a rare talent in China..."
"It sounds like you admire this kind of person?"
"fine."
Xu Nuo answered casually, her mind was full of thoughts about Qin Huayun and Lu Chen. She was wondering how she should get along with Qin Huayun if she met her again in the hospital.
"Xu Nuo, if you hadn't married me, wouldn't your ideal husband be a doctor?" Lu Chen's voice became lower and lower, and his emotions became more and more obvious.
"Doctor?"
"Well, doctor, someone like Ling Sheng."
Xu Nuo slowly came back to his senses: "I don't know, I haven't thought about this question. But I'm already married to you, why should I think about those things?"
Lu remained silent.
There was silence in the car.
A few minutes later, they arrived outside the house, and the two got out of the car, opened the door and went in.
The first thing Xu Nuo did was to go to the bathroom to wash up, while Lu Chen went upstairs in two steps. A few minutes later, he sat upright on the sofa with a pile of medals in front of him.
When she came out of the bathroom, Lu Chen raised his hand and motioned for her to sit down: "Nono, today I ask you to get to know me more deeply - your husband."
