Chapter 22 I'm going to meet my parents tonight
There are many departments in the laboratory.
Xu Jialan led one independently.
She was wearing a white coat and walked quickly into the office area.
I saw a beautifully packaged lunch box on the desk of each of her subordinates.
Xu Jialan suddenly stopped in his tracks.
This was the first time she was confused by this scene.
The subordinate who had just called her whispered, "Um, Professor Xu, the person who delivered the food just now said that these were all arranged by your husband, so..."
Xu Jialan came back to his senses, clenched his phone tightly, and his face returned to the familiar cold and distant look.
She hummed, "Since it's delivered, let's eat first."
After saying that, she walked quickly into the office.
There was a lunch box on the table that was different from the others.
This is obvious favoritism.
Xu Jialan curled his fingertips.
Noticing the curious eyes outside, she picked up the remote and pressed it.
The glass window instantly became one-way.
Interrupting the sight of the subordinates outside.
Xu Jialan took a deep breath and sat down in the office chair.
She lowered her eyes to look at the lunch box and raised her hand to open it.
The steaming hot food mixed with the rich aroma of food lingers at the tip of your nose.
It was the food from the restaurant where they had dinner on the day of their blind date.
The dishes she ordered several times were all in this lunch box.
Xu Jialan picked up his cell phone and made a call.
The call was answered quickly.
"Did you order food for everyone too?" she asked.
The man's voice, tinged with a faint smile, said, "Well, I was afraid you wouldn't behave, so I just ordered for everyone."
There was some helplessness in Xu Jialan's eyes, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"You didn't tell me just now."
Shen Xichuan stood in front of the balcony, holding a can in his hand and took a sip of Coke.
"After I tell you, will you let me order it?"
Xu Jialan didn't say anything.
Won't.
The man already knew her answer and chuckled, "Be good, eat. I'm going to pack my luggage."
Hearing this, Xu Jialan came back to his senses and quickly said, "Didn't you eat?"
"I've eaten," he said.
Xu Jialan breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then I'll eat first."
Shen Xichuan hummed and waited for her to hang up the phone.
Xu Jialan looked at the rich dishes in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
She took a bite of the spicy beef, which was very fragrant and tender, and very delicious.
But after taking a bite, she drank half a glass of water.
In the end, she managed to eat most of the lunch box.
When Xu Jialan walked out of the office with the cup.
Some people still couldn't help gossiping.
"Professor Xu, when did you get married?"
They will not forget that the person who delivered the food just now said that it was Professor Xu's husband who ordered the meal for everyone.
There is only one Professor Xu in the entire laboratory.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Xu Jialan.
Xu Jialan paused, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Yeah, I just got the certificate yesterday."
Everyone was shocked. What the hell?!
Xu Jialan ignored their reactions, calmly took the cup to the tea room, poured a glass of cold water and returned to the office.
In one afternoon, everyone in the laboratory knew that Xu Jialan had obtained the certificate.
Mr. Liang, who was far away in the Medical Association, also learned the news.
He initially thought it was just a rumor and was ready to refute it.
But when I heard that it was Xu Jialan who admitted it himself.
Mr. Liang couldn't sit still anymore, so he immediately returned to the office, picked up his phone and called Xu Jialan.
Xu Jialan was just about to go to the Affiliated Hospital of Nancheng Medical University.
Then I received a call from Mr. Liang.
I thought he was going to tell her about the Medical Bureau project.
"Xiao Lan, tell Master, are you married?"
Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, "Master, how did you know?"
Elder Liang's voice unconsciously rose a little, and his tone was serious, "Are you really married? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell Master? Who did you marry?"
Xu Jialan pinched his fingers and quickly comforted him, "Master, please calm down first."
Mr. Liang took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
The next second, he spoke again, "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell the master?"
Xu Jialan put down the bag in his hand and walked to the window, "Master, I'm sorry."
When Elder Liang heard her voice, he sighed helplessly, "Xiao Lan, you know, Master didn't stop you from getting married. It's just that, for such a big thing, shouldn't you be cautious?"
Xu Jialan hasn't had a boyfriend in all these years.
Suddenly I got married to someone.
How could Mr. Liang not be worried?
Hearing this, Xu Jialan explained, "Master, it was indeed very sudden for us to get our marriage certificate, but I wasn't being careless."
Mr. Liang didn't say anything.
Xu Jialan lowered his eyes slightly and said, "The person I married was my high school classmate. We have known each other for many years."
Mr. Liang was stunned. "High school classmate?"
"Well, he was the one who rescued me from the fire before." Xu Jialan said.
Mr. Liang didn't react for a moment.
"Wasn't it the firefighters who rescued you from the fire? How come…"
At this point, Mr. Liang came back to his senses and asked, "The person you married is a firefighter?"
Xu Jialan hummed softly and added, "Last time, the person that Master's wife introduced me to for a blind date happened to be him."
Old Liang's eyebrows were twitching.
After all this time, it turns out that this marriage was facilitated by his wife?
He forced himself to calm down and said, "Okay, you take him home tonight. Since you're married, shouldn't he meet his parents as well?"
Xu Jialan's parents are no longer with us.
Then he is Xu Jialan's maternal family.
Xu Jialan paused, "Master, he..."
Elder Liang snorted, "Why? Are you afraid that Master will eat him?"
"No, Master..."
"Is that something he is ashamed of?" Mr. Liang asked again.
Xu Jialan sighed silently, "Okay, we'll go back tonight."
Liang Lao snorted again, "Don't forget it."
"Okay, I won't forget."
Only then did Mr. Liang hang up the phone with satisfaction.
Xu Jialan held the phone, not knowing how to tell Shen Xichuan the news.
She looked at their chat dialog box with a troubled look on her face.
After a long while, she typed, "Um, are you free tonight?"
Shen Xichuan quickly replied, “Yes, is there anything going on tonight?”
Xu Jialan sighed and pressed the voice button, "My master knows the news of my marriage, so he wants us to go back for dinner tonight."
After listening to this, Shen Xichuan was also stunned for a few seconds.
Going to meet your parents tonight?
