Qiao Xiangrong said he would get Sheng Ting's reply in two days, and he actually did.
He still couldn't run into Long Yunting this time.
When he was alone with Sheng Ting, Qiao Xiangrong asked her a couple more questions.
Sheng Ting was in a state of turmoil, and hearing Qiao Xiangrong ask about Long Yunting again only made her more agitated.
“Brother Qiao, I can answer you now about what you said to me last time,” Sheng Ting said after a long pause, “but I still think it’s too fast. Could you give me a little more time?”
Qiao Xiangrong was taken aback, then laughed and said, "It's alright, I was just pushing you too hard. Let's date for a while longer and see how it goes. After all, this is a lifelong commitment, and it's time to properly evaluate me!"
Sheng Ting breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Brother Qiao, for understanding me!"
"You silly girl, if I don't understand you, who will?" Qiao Xiangrong gently stroked her cheek. "Then I'll have to work harder to win you over!"
Sheng Ting hummed in agreement.
Qiao Xiangrong stayed with Sheng Ting for a while before leaving.
Back home, Qiao Xiangrong was called over by Zhao Rong. "Xiangrong, this is the soup the kitchen left for you. I've already had your dad's portion sent out."
Qiao Xiangrong glanced at the soup on the table, paused for a moment, and then picked it up and drank it.
Zhao Rong's eyes turned cold when she saw his hesitation.
This little bastard even suspects she put drugs in the soup!
She wouldn't be so foolish as to do it herself.
"By the way, I wonder when Sheng Ting will come to our house again? Your sister and I will make arrangements."
Qiao Xiangrong put down the empty bowl and said, "I should take her home again in the next few days."
"Tell us the specific date in advance so we can make arrangements," Zhao Rong sighed. "Since you like Sheng Ting, we have no objections. Right now, we just hope we can get along harmoniously!"
Qiao Xiangrong couldn't help but glance at Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong seemed unusually easy to talk to today.
"Thank you for accepting Sheng Ting!"
“As long as you like it, there’s no one in the family who doesn’t like it,” Zhao Rong said. “Xue Jing also wants you to marry Sheng Ting soon so she’ll have someone to play with! That child, all she knows how to do is play all day.”
"Mom, I have something to do, so I'll leave now."
Qiao Xiangrong still harbored resentment towards Zhao Rong despite their interactions.

Sheng Qian sat in the factory's small break room, her expression somewhat somber.
Jiang Jinqiao, sitting opposite him, didn't look too good either.
The atmosphere between the two was somber.
With no one else around, the tense atmosphere was broken after a while by Jiang Jinqiao: "I'll go out and help you."
"you?"
"Well, your strength alone is still too small. Those people in S District are simply not someone you can handle by yourself. Young Master Long is not in Beijing, and I'm worried that you'll be targeted by them."
If it weren't for Sheng Qian, Jiang Jinqiao couldn't imagine what would have happened to him.
I'm afraid their whole family has already perished.
Sheng Qian smiled and shook her head. "I'm not in danger right now, but the powerful families in the capital are. They started with the Long family, and next they'll target the Song and Tang families. I'm worried that these families won't understand the situation and will agree to cooperate with District S directly."
By then, their power will have grown significantly, while Sheng Qian's side will still be in a developmental stage, making them even more difficult to deal with.
There's still a ticking time bomb in Haicheng, and Sheng Qian has to be on guard at all times.
"The powerful families of the capital shouldn't be so easily fooled..."
Sheng Qian said, "That's hard to say."
"When you go out, you should take He Weiguo and the others with you," Jiang Jinqiao said, knowing that he really couldn't help Sheng Qian with anything other than her research work.
Sheng Qian looked at Jiang Jinqiao and suddenly asked, "Brother Jiang, have you ever thought about modifying your body?"
"Body modification? How?"
"Their Sector Squad's guard team has achieved that extraordinary level by using chemical research to strengthen themselves and unleash their potential. If we also possess such technology, could we create a guard team like theirs?"
"You're insane!" Jiang Jinqiao's expression changed. "I strongly oppose this kind of inhuman research!"
“Brother Jiang, please don’t get agitated,” Sheng Qian explained. “We’re not using it to do anything bad; we just want to protect ourselves.”
Jiang Jinqiao shook his head with a stern face: "Right now you want to protect yourself, but can you guarantee that none of the participants have any evil intentions? Once someone has such thoughts, it will create a second S District!"
Therefore, he firmly opposed this kind of research that violated the laws of humanity.
Seeing Jiang Jinqiao's strong reaction, Sheng Qian stopped the topic.
However.
Jiang Jinqiao, however, won her heart.
He understands Sheng Qian.
Once it's brought up, they'll start doing it behind the scenes.
Jiang Jinqiao felt a vague sense of unease.
