Chapter 1075: The Increasingly Skilled Mrs. Qin

~8 min read 1,429 words

Three hours later—the car stopped outside a towering hotel.

This was the lodging for everyone who had come to attend the seminar over the past two days; the conference rooms and banquet hall inside the hotel had also been fully booked by Qin Yiyan for this period, and the two of them would be staying here as well.

Walking through the main entrance, Liu Xin'ai took out her phone to check the time, wanting to call her teacher to send her regards and, incidentally, ask where he had arrived.

But unexpectedly, a call came in first—it was Professor Shen!

Seeing her teacher's name, Liu Xin'ai hurriedly walked to the side and answered the phone.

"Teacher."

She greeted him.

No sooner had she spoken than she heard Professor Shen ask on the other end: "Xin'ai, have you arrived? I am already at the hotel. Everyone is in the banquet hall on the seventeenth floor right now. You can come straight over after you arrive; there are a few professors I would like to introduce to you."

"Alright, I am already downstairs. Please wait a moment, I am coming up now."

Liu Xin'ai, having heard that her teacher had already arrived, hurriedly agreed.

Hanging up the phone, she returned to Qin Yiyan's side.

"Teacher says everyone is in the banquet hall right now. I'm going up to say hello. If you don't want to go, you can find an excuse..."

"I will accompany you."

Qin Yiyan actually took the initiative to agree.

Liu Xin'ai paused upon hearing this, the words she hadn't finished stuck on the tip of her tongue.

In truth, the actual seminar wouldn't begin until tomorrow; today was just about getting everyone gathered.

But for those in their line of work, as long as they were together, it was common to forget to eat while exchanging ideas.

This time, it was likely that some professor, upon hearing that so many people had arrived, had simply gathered everyone into the banquet hall first.

So, in fact, it didn't matter whether Qin Yiyan went or not, as long as he showed up tomorrow.

And if he weren't there, she wouldn't have to play the part of "Mrs. Qin."

But now that Qin Yiyan wanted to go himself, Liu Xin'ai didn't stop him again.

The two of them entered the elevator together, and not long after, they arrived upstairs.

Immediately, as soon as the doors opened, they could hear the sound of discussion coming from the Main Hall not far away.

There seemed to be quite a few people.

Sure enough, this group of "professors," once they arrived, had spontaneously started an academic exchange, and they were currently chatting heatedly.

Thinking of the teacher she hadn't seen in a long time, Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but let a smile bloom on her face, and she was about to walk out immediately.

Thinking of how she would soon be able to see her teacher whom she had not seen for a long time, a hint of a smile could not help but appear on Liu Xin'ai's face, and she immediately prepared to walk out.

Qin Yiyan's voice, sounding somewhat dissatisfied, rang out from behind her.

Liu Xin'ai's footsteps faltered. Subconsciously looking back, she saw him casually lower his gaze to glance at her arm.

Liu Xin'ai followed his gaze and instantly understood.

This was Qin Yiyan reminding her that it was time to be the "gentle and virtuous" Mrs. Qin who was "affectionate and loving" with him.

Liu Xin'ai sighed helplessly in her heart, turned around, and as he wished, took his arm.

A satisfied expression indeed appeared on Qin Yiyan's face instantly, and only then did he walk with her toward the banquet hall.

Just as they reached the entrance—"Xin'ai! You're here!"

An old man's voice instantly resounded through half the Main Hall, drawing everyone's attention!

An old man's voice instantly resounded through half of the Main Hall, drawing everyone to look over!

Liu Xin'ai smiled helplessly; listening to the old man's booming voice, she felt an extraordinary sense of warmth.

While she was thinking, Professor Shen had already walked over, his eyes also landing on Qin Yiyan at her side.

"This must be President Qin, right? A pleasure! You and Xin'ai are truly a perfect match. When you and Xin'ai got married, I happened to be busy with a closed-off experiment abroad and really couldn't find the time..."

"It doesn't matter. Since Professor Shen is Xin'ai's teacher, I'm sure there will be many opportunities to meet in the future. There's no need to be so formal; just call me Yiyan."

Qin Yiyan smiled at Professor Shen, looking every bit the polite and mature man.

Professor Shen was immediately even more satisfied and nodded repeatedly.

"Excellent. When I heard that this girl Xin'ai was suddenly getting married, I was a bit worried about whether she would be happy. Now that I see you two are so loving, I am relieved..."

Professor Shen looked at the couple's linked arms and praised Qin Yiyan several times in a row.

Liu Xin'ai listened quietly, maintaining a faint smile on her face the entire time, and even cooperated by adding a few words. To anyone watching, she and Qin Yiyan standing together looked like a happy couple.

After a few words, another professor came over, greeted the two of them, and then hurriedly pulled Professor Shen away, not knowing what paper they were going to discuss.

Watching the two leave, Liu Xin'ai let out a soft sigh of relief and relaxed slightly.

The space here was vast.

The Main Hall was filled with people gathered in twos and threes everywhere.

Some were arguing about something, while others were holding notebooks and discussing things quietly.

Those who could come here, even if they didn't know each other, basically knew the other's name, so as long as they said a few simple words, they could immediately start chatting about some medical issue.

This kind of atmosphere made Liu Xin'ai feel very comfortable.

She was just thinking about going to chat with her teacher for a while longer.

Then she heard—"You people in medicine, are all of you so..."

Qin Yiyan's gaze swept around the Main Hall; it seemed to be his first time seeing such a scene, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.

"Different from what you imagined?"

Liu Xin'ai seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.

Perhaps because it was related to her own profession, she had a rare desire to say a few more words, and she explained softly.

"This group of people at the pinnacle of the medical industry is actually not as serious as you imagine, and they are also different from the doctors who treat patients in the Hospital every day. They are completely immersed in medicine. Those who can make huge contributions accept your invitation because it is a rare opportunity to gather and exchange ideas with many peers outside of the fixed annual time; it is not all for the sake of money."

"This group of people at the pinnacle of the medical industry is actually not as serious as you imagine, and they are also quite different from the Doctors who treat patients and save lives in the Hospital every day; they are people completely intoxicated by medicine who can make huge contributions, and they accept your invitation also because it is a rare opportunity to gather and exchange ideas with many peers outside of the fixed annual times, not entirely for the sake of money."

"Indeed."

Qin Yiyan responded, in complete agreement with her assessment.

It was true; after he officially announced this project, people immediately came to inquire about how to join, and they were even willing to forgo any compensation entirely.

But not everyone was like that.

There were also those who put forward certain requirements, and as long as they were within his capabilities, he had basically satisfied them all.

"Then you..."

Qin Yiyan suddenly spoke up, wanting to say something.

But he had only just said two words— "Xin'ai, long time no see."

A man's voice suddenly came from the side.

Qin Yiyan paused mid-sentence and turned his head, feeling somewhat displeased.

Immediately, he saw a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing glasses, who was staring right at Liu Xin'ai.

For some reason, his expression made Qin Yiyan feel rather annoyed.

Then, he heard— "I had long heard that you were married; so it turns out you married President Qin. No wonder you appeared on the list this time."
