Breaking away from the enthusiastic circle of classmates, I returned to the laboratory at night.
My feet hadnât even stepped inside the door.
A handsome guy appeared in sight.
His features were familiar, his aura ordinary.
He looked at Ji Li pitifully, his clothes dirty, hair messy, like a pretty boy refugee.
Ji Li, wearing a lab coat, stood with arms crossed at the door; he came today to look at experimental data and samples, which was his job.
Of course, it also gave him a reason to check if his future girlfriend hadnât been snatched away.
He had only been away for a week, how come thereâs another unfamiliar person here.
Su Xiaocai accused first, "Whoâs he to you? Why does he look so aggrieved?"
Ji Li tapped her forehead, "On purpose, huh, a small researcher like me, who can I wrong."
Su Xiaocai covered her forehead with a dry laugh, examining carefully.
The handsome guy stayed silent, but the burly man beside him, whom Su Xiaocai knew, was one of the bodyguards Admiral Bai had given her.
"Xiang Qian?" Suddenly appearing before her, Su Xiaocai couldnât believe it.
Every time she just thought of him, he would bring information, even faster than battleship express delivery.
Xiang Qian was smug, as if he had found his organization again, "Boss, you really have a great memory."
He pulled up a bit of his clothes, showing his stomach, whining, "Boss, look at this layer of skin, itâs all wrinkled."
Xiang Qian used to be a big fatty, white and plump; after slimming down quickly, his skin sagged all over.
Several wrinkled folds gathered under his belly, looking very unsightly.
It wasnât due to muscle-building exercises, but because of a drastic reduction in appetite.
Besides his face, his arms, belly, and thighs were all wrinkled.
Su Xiaocai found it an eyesore, and asked Ji Li nonsensically, "Why arenât you covering my eyes, with a man lifting his shirt in front of me."
Ji Li: "..." His possessiveness isnât that warped.
Besides, what kind of belly hasnât Su Xiaocai seen; if she wanted to, she could see eight-pack abs every day.
Feeling that silence didnât sit well either, Ji Li retorted, "Do you like this style?"
Su Xiaocai rolled her eyes, "Donât understand romantic charm, whatâs the use of you."
"As long as you like it, itâs enough." Ji Li said boldly, looking good enough, matching her aesthetics is enough, he has a freshness period of at least a few decades; with more effort, a hundred years is not a problem.
Ji Li said it earnestly; he doesnât have a deep feeling persona, just pure honesty, so thereâs no sense of mushiness.
"Boss, is this your boyfriend?" Xiang Qian knew of Ji Li, a wealthy man, one of the shareholders in the Extraordinary Island project.
The Ji Family has been a wealthy, established family for a long time.
He was excited, the boss likes wealthy people, which means thereâs no worry about Su Xiaocai keeping a little boy toy in the future.
If she frequently changed boy toys, with skewed values whispering in her ear, subordinates like him would suffer.
"Not yet."
"Not yet."
The two spoke in unison.
"Hehe, not yet, soon to be. Boss Ji, you better work hard." Xiang Qian was stopped at the door because of his drastic appearance change; Kaye didnât dare confirm his identity.
Before, he had spent some time with Xiang Qian; even seeing him every day, he couldnât recognize him, let alone Ji Li, he wouldnât recognize him at all.
"Recently, the management here has been strict, fearing imposters." Su Xiaocaiâs bodyguard team requested a blood sample from him to give to Xiao Wanzi to check the genes.
Xiang Qian didnât mind; knowing Su Xiaocaiâs popularity and importance, as the frontline intelligence personnel, how could he not be aware.
On remote stars of distant systems, Su Xiaocaiâs achievements spread in no time, she is a national treasure level figure now.
After drawing blood, "Boss, we found something, so we returned to Capital Star and continued investigating until we were sure."
The group entered the laboratory, Su Xiaocai sat in the hallâs chair, Xiang Qian and two bodyguards sat down.
Ji Li, knowing his cue, said, "Iâm going downstairs."
"Later we might have to ask Boss Ji about a few things, is he convenient to listen in?" Xiang Qian thought asking Ji Li about the matters being investigated might provide quicker answers.
Ji Li looked at Su Xiaocai, she beckoned him; the matters she was investigating had a certain gossipy nature, she wasnât afraid of Ji Li knowing.
She had seen his familyâs awkward stories, and hers didnât have much to hide.
She patted the spot next to her, indicating for him to sit.
Ji Li sat down, maintaining some distance from Su Xiaocai.
Su Xiaocai didnât mind him.
This man, once the truth is out, starts to restrain himself, and she didnât know what he was restraining; could she even eat him?
Xiang Qian showed Su Xiaocai the investigation records; he recorded what he did every day in a notebook.
At Quanai Orphanage, he didnât dare send information via communication, fearing eavesdropping, living in constant fear.
