Chapter 63 When did you and Miss Cheng get married?
Since we are not at the conference table and it is lunch time, the topics we talk about are not rigorous academic issues.
So, Qiao Silin asked Li Zhinan with a smile: "Mr. Li, are you married?"
When Cheng Qian heard Qiao Silin's words, her beautiful eyes froze and she immediately looked at Li Zhinan.
Li Zhinan smiled calmly and said, "How did Dr. Qiao figure that out?"
Qiao Silin pointed to his ring finger and said, "Only married men wear rings on their ring fingers."
Li Zhinan immediately raised his left hand and looked at it. His slender fingers, with distinct joints and blue veins, were full of masculine charm.
Li Zhinan said calmly, "The diamond ring happened to be in my suit pocket, so I put it on."
Qiao Silin looked shocked: "When did you and Miss Cheng get married?"
Ji Yichen heard Qiao Silin's questioning from the side. He picked up a piece of beef and put it in Qiao Silin's bowl: "Dr. Qiao, eat the meat and stop being curious about other people's private affairs."
Li Zhinan glanced at Cheng Qian meaningfully, because Qiao Silin only said "Miss Cheng" and did not mention her name.
So, Li Zhinan smiled and said, "We've been married for almost four years."
Cheng Qian's pretty face turned pale and she glared at him angrily.
Who just said that it’s better not to reveal their identity as a couple?
What is he doing now?
"Dr. Qiao, do you like duck? It tastes pretty good." Cheng Qian was also trying to divert Qiao Silin's attention.
Qiao Silin immediately reached out and took a chopstick, then tasted it: "It's really delicious."
That’s all for the little episode about the diamond ring.
Li Zhinan narrowed his eyes. Is Cheng Qian really that scared to admit her relationship with him?
Cheng Qian was absent-minded during the meal.
She felt upset when she thought about all the meetings and decisions in the future, big and small, which would be linked to Li Zhinan again.
After dinner, Cheng Qian went to the military hospital to continue her experiment. Qiao Silin had drunk alcohol and could not drive.
Cheng Qian took a taxi by herself.
She stood on the side of the road, and a black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle stopped in front of her.
The car door opened, and Li Zhinan, whose handsome face was flushed from drinking, looked at her with a dark look in his eyes: "I'll take you there."
"No need." Cheng Qian immediately turned around and walked to the other side of the road.
The door of the business car closed and rushed past her at a very fast speed.
When Cheng Qian arrived at the military hospital, she saw Chu Huaijing and Cheng Yan walking out of the experimental building.
Seeing Cheng Qian coming over, Chu Huaijing immediately stepped forward to greet her: "Cheng Qian, I heard from Mr. Ji that your Seed Research Institute is now ready for experiments. Do you want to move back?"
Cheng Qian said softly, "I want to stay here for another two months, and Uncle Ji agreed."
Chu Huaijing nodded: "Okay, if you need anything, feel free to contact me."
Cheng Qian said gratefully: "Thank you."
Cheng Yan suddenly laughed: "Cousin, I was just talking about you with Huai Jing. What kind of experiment are you doing this time?"
Cheng Qian said coldly: "Sorry, no comment."
Cheng Yan looked nonchalant and continued with a smile, "By the way, Zhinan told me about investing in your seed research institute. With his joining, the reputation of the Seed Research Institute will be even greater."
Chu Huaijing was a little surprised: "Zhi Nan invested in the Seed Research Institute?"
Cheng Yan said in a tone that showed she understood the situation very well, "Yes, Zhinan would not let go of any opportunity to help Xiaowei get rid of his illness as soon as possible. He is such a good brother. Xiaowei is so lucky to have a brother like him."
Chu Huaijing suddenly looked at Cheng Qian, his eyes flickering a few times.
Cheng Qian said to Chu Huaijing, "Sorry, I'll leave first."
Cheng Yan looked at Cheng Qian's hurried footsteps, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.
Was Cheng Qian dealt another blow? Was it because she already knew about Li Zhinan's business plan?
Haha, Cheng Qian still doesn’t understand where she lost?
How can a dull woman like her win a man's heart?
Cheng Qian leaned against the wall of the laboratory, a trace of pain flashing in her lonely eyes.
Li Zhinan discussed his business plan with Cheng Yan, and he donated the laboratory building to give her confidence. Everything he did proved that he no longer had her as his wife in his heart.
In fact, he was so blatant to convey a message to outsiders that the only person he loved was Cheng Yan.
Her eyes were sore and Cheng Qian tried her best to hold back the tears.
It seemed that he never noticed the love buried in the details in the past four years.
She stayed up late into the night to research and treat Xiaowei's illness, but he never showed any concern.
She did all this silently, and in Li Zhinan's eyes, it was all just brushed aside.
Cheng Qian took a deep breath. If her previous efforts were to prove her feelings for him.
After that, she only wanted to create a future for her son.
After calming down, Cheng Qian continued to devote herself to her work.
Night falls!
Cheng Qian was guarding a set of data and worked overtime until after ten o'clock in the evening before leaving the laboratory.
Steady footsteps were heard in the corridor.
A tall and handsome figure appeared in the empty corridor.
"Mr. Chu?" Cheng Qian greeted him.
Chu Huaijing was holding a box in his hand: "You got off work so late, you haven't had dinner yet."
Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment. She really hadn't eaten. When Qiao Silin was here before, they could take turns to go to the cafeteria to eat. Now that she was alone, she thought of eating after get off work.
"Cheng Qian, work is only a part of your life. Don't neglect your health for work." Chu Huaijing said, handing over the box: "Here are some food I prepared for you, go and eat now."
Cheng Qian wanted to politely refuse, but her stomach growled twice.
She lowered her eyes in embarrassment, and her eyes flickered twice in panic.
Chu Huaijing's expression turned serious: "Don't show off, come and eat."
Cheng Qian couldn't refuse, so she followed him to a rest room. When she opened the box, she found some exquisite dishes.
Chu Huaijing pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Do you like eating these?"
Cheng Qian nodded: "I like it, it looks delicious."
Chu Huaijing hummed: "Then you eat, I'll go see my dad."
Cheng Qian stood up and walked him out the door.
After Chu Huaijing walked out, he paused, glanced sideways at the door, and then strode away.
Cheng Qian was so hungry that she finished all the delicious food on the table in one breath.
She packed up and hurriedly left the laboratory building.
However, she didn't drive here today, so at this time...
Cheng Qian was wearing only a single layer of clothing. It was cold at night, so she couldn't help but wrap her arms around herself.
A Maybach drove over from a distance.
"Xiao Qian, let's go. I'll take you home." Ji Yichen rolled down the car window and waved to him.
"Brother Yichen..." Cheng Qian was surprised.
Ji Yichen lazily leaned back in his chair and said, "My dad reminded me that you didn't drive today. I happened to be doing some business nearby and passed by here."
