Chapter 1170: Running into Someone One Shouldn't

Xu Xiaoxiao was infuriated by Qin Yiyan's shameless behavior!

But she could not show it in front of Chi Rong.

To cover up her abnormality, Xu Xiaoxiao turned to the side to adjust her emotions.

And with this turn—she locked eyes with someone downstairs!

The other person also saw Xu Xiaoxiao, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

But Xu Xiaoxiao panicked.

The next second, she said to Chi Rong, "Sorry, I'm going out to make a phone call."

"Okay."

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled at Chi Rong and then hurried downstairs.

As for Cai Xiaotang downstairs, a look of confusion appeared on her face.

She had come to the Art Gallery today to provide prenatal education for Baobao.

It was just getting more boring the longer she looked.

After walking around in a circle, she wanted to leave with Li Xiao.

But she hadn't expected to run into Xu Xiaoxiao.

Cai Xiaotang actually quite admired Xu Xiaoxiao, so she thought since they had run into each other, she would go over and chat for a bit.

However...

Why did Xu Xiaoxiao have that expression on her face?

Cai Xiaotang was full of confusion.

She even asked Li Xiao beside her, "Am I hideous today?"

Li Xiao leaned down and kissed Cai Xiaotang's red lips, evaluating:

"How could that be?"

"Then why did someone run away as soon as they saw me?"

"Who is so blind?"

"It's just..."

Cai Xiaotang was just about to say Xu Xiaoxiao's name when she noticed Xu Xiaoxiao at the corner beckoning to her.

Was this asking her to come over?

Cai Xiaotang rolled her eyes, then walked over with Li Xiao.

The spot where Xu Xiaoxiao was standing right now was safe; she would not be spotted by Chi Rong.

But if Chi Rong and Cai Xiaotang were to run into each other...

Then her identity would easily be exposed!

To prevent such a thing from happening, Xu Xiaoxiao said to the approaching Cai Xiaotang, "I am accompanying a client to the art exhibition today, and I'm observing her emotional state while I'm at it. Since I'm at work, I can't chat with you too much."

After hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's explanation, Cai Xiaotang looked enlightened.

She promised, "Don't worry, I won't disturb you."

"Thanks for understanding, I'll be going now."

After Xu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she smiled at Cai Xiaotang and Li Xiao.

Then she turned around and left gracefully.

Cai Xiaotang stood where she was, staring at Xu Xiaoxiao's back.

That focused look made even Li Xiao jealous.

He reached out and covered Cai Xiaotang's eyes, asking unhappily, "Wife, how much longer are you going to look?"

Cai Xiaotang turned her head, avoiding Li Xiao's palm.

Then she said, "I'm just admiring her!"

"What is there to admire about her? If you want to admire someone, admire me!"

As Li Xiao said this, he turned Cai Xiaotang's body around.

Making her face him.

Cai Xiaotang was very dissatisfied with Li Xiao's performance and frowned, asking, "Are women not worth admiring?"

"Of course not, the point of what I said is—you should look at me more!"

As his voice fell, Li Xiao cupped Cai Xiaotang's cheeks.

This action made her beautiful eyes contain only him.

But Cai Xiaotang was a bit disgusted with this person.

She even said quite bluntly, "You don't have Xu Xiaoxiao's grace and capability!"

After speaking, Cai Xiaotang muttered again, "If I weren't married and pregnant, I would probably have returned to the workplace to continue striving, or started some business of my own, and then possessed that unique temperament just like Xu Xiaoxiao!"

However, as things are now...

Although she is happy, from the perspective of personal development, she is somewhat mediocre.

Of course, Cai Xiaotang did not say these last two sentences out loud.

But Li Xiao could see her thoughts in the depths of her eyes!

Li Xiao couldn't bear to see his wife feeling down, so he comforted her, "Don't envy others, because while you are envying them, they might be envying you too."

"What do I have to be envied for?"

"Of course there is! Look at your dashing husband! On this point, how many people in this world can compete with you?"

Cai Xiaotang had thought Li Xiao would say some serious reason.

She had even held a slight expectation!

Who would have thought...

Cai Xiaotang sighed powerlessly.

Then she said, "If it's a competition for the thickness of a husband's skin, you would definitely be first."

As her voice fell, laughter came from nearby.

Cai Xiaotang looked to the side unconsciously.

Only then did she realize...

People were coming and going all around.

There were even people who had heard this funny and loving conversation between the young couple!

This made Cai Xiaotang extremely embarrassed!

To avoid further embarrassment, Cai Xiaotang changed the subject: "I'm hungry, let's go eat."

"No problem, what do you want to eat?"

"Let's just have..."

The two of them chatted as they walked.

Finally, their figures disappeared outside the gate of the Art Gallery.

As for Xu Xiaoxiao, who was standing on the stairs, she saw the figures of the two leaving.

This made Xu Xiaoxiao heave a sigh of relief.

She felt that the crisis had been averted!

However, through today's incident, Xu Xiaoxiao also realized a problem:

Next time, she cannot wander around like this with Chi Rong again.

If she happens to run into someone she shouldn't, it will be very troublesome!

Inside the Laboratory—Professor Shen looked for Liu Xin'ai with an excited expression.

And placed a document in front of her.

Liu Xin'ai took a look, then raised her head and asked in a murmur: "This is..."

"The approval procedures have finally come through! The Special Effect Medicine can be put into production!!"

This was truly good news!

After working so hard for so long and going through so many twists and turns, it had finally settled!!

Liu Xin'ai was overjoyed.

Yet she also felt a sour ache in her heart.

Her eyes also turned red unconsciously.

Professor Shen knew that Liu Xin'ai had thought of her father again.

At that moment, he sighed deeply.

Then he patted Liu Xin'ai on the shoulder and said, "Your father would be proud of you!"

Liu Xin'ai nodded vigorously.

And then said, "The funding issue has also been resolved; Li Beijue said he would invest one hundred million."

Professor Shen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't Qin Yiyan the investor?"

"Indeed, but this investment from Li Beijue can open two more production lines, speeding up production so that more people can benefit. So, why shouldn't we accept it?"

The reason Liu Xin'ai gave convinced Professor Shen.

He did not raise any more questions, only asking: "When will the funds arrive?"

"

"Li Beijue said he will come here today to sign the contract."

Although there was already a verbal agreement, for business cooperation, everything still had to be put down in writing.

Professor Shen also felt that signing the contract early was the right thing to do, and he arranged: "Then let Xiao Liu handle it."

Because the later work was no longer just about scientific research.

It also involved running various processes and handling paperwork.

So Professor Shen had found some young people to join.

With their help, things were handled more efficiently.

Liu Xin'ai, however, said: "I have to handle this matter personally, because it is what Li Beijue requested."

After hearing this, Professor Shen's face showed surprise.

He felt that this request...

Was somewhat strange.

After all, signing contracts did not fall within Liu Xin'ai's scope of responsibility.

Liu Xin'ai also felt it was strange.

But since it was a small matter, she didn't think too much about it and agreed.

As for the specific time...

At this moment, Liu Xin'ai's phone rang.
