Chapter 116

The next day.

After class, Xie Wantang didn't rush to leave; she patiently waited for the students to hand over their unclear questions to Lu Chen.

Professor Wu left so quickly that Xie Wantang didn't notice and didn't see him.

Su Yang was also.

Lu Chen quickly dismissed the few students who had asked questions, tidied up his things, looked up at Xie Wantang, Xie Wantang picked up her belongings, and stood up.

In the classroom, besides the two of them, there was no one else.

Regarding the incident that happened in the classroom that day, Zhang Sen, due to his poor character, had already been persuaded to withdraw.

With Zhang Sen's example, yesterday, when Xie Wantang was absent, Professor Wu addressed this issue, correcting the students' morals a bit.

Professor Wu said, they are all outstanding; because they eliminated many competitors, they stood out, so he does not want them to ruin their futures over character issues.

Today, the classroom atmosphere improved greatly.

"Let's go." Lu Chen said softly.

"Mm."

The two entered the elevator, "Want to buy vegetables?"

"Sure, there's a supermarket ahead; I'll drive."

"Mm."

At the supermarket, Xie Wantang asked Lu Chen, "What does Professor Wu like to eat?"

"Xie Wantang, it seems you're making food for me? Shouldn't you ask what I like to eat?" Lu Chen looked at her, looking a little wronged.

Xie Wantang glanced away, looking elsewhere, "President Lu, what do you like to eat?"

"Mm, what are you good at cooking? Something simple is fine."

"That won't do; since it's to thank you, naturally you choose the dishes. Professor Wu is older and has bad teeth, so I'll make him braised pork."

"... Your Professor Wu, today he made plans with an old friend to go fishing, and just now they all ran off."

「……」 => "\"... \""

Xie Wantang was stunned, meaning that at noon it would just be her and Lu Chen?

"Then let's call Su Yang as well? Anyway, he also needs to send me home later." Xie Wantang said, reaching for her phone to call Su Yang.

"He has something today; your Senior Martial Brother's side is already luring the enemy deeper, and his side also needs to cooperate, so I'm entrusting your safety to me today." Lu Chen looked at her with clear eyes.

Xie Wantang remained silent.

She could actually protect herself, but now, with a child in her belly, she still wouldn't act tough.

"Then I'll decide what to buy myself?" Xie Wantang looked at the items on the shelves.

"Mm, you help me cook, and I'll treat you to tasty snacks."

"No need; cooking today is originally to repay your kindness. If you again treat me to snacks, wouldn't I owe you again?" Xie Wantang calculated clearly, not wanting to accept his favor again.

"Are you planning to cook once and then never see me again?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows; if that were the case, then today, even if he racked his brains, he couldn't let her fully repay the kindness.

"Of course not; you aren't the Assistant Instructor? We'll see each other in class from now on."

After Xie Wantang said that, she shifted the topic: "You just said my Senior Martial Brother and them are going to act today; how do you know about this?"

"Last night, when you told me about the things happening with the Lu Family, I was thinking that those watching the Lu Family might already be acting, so I boldly suggested to your Senior Martial Brother that he combine the Lu Family matter with the An sen case."

「……」 => "\"... \""

That boldness is indeed great.

Even a veteran detective probably wouldn't think to merge these two seemingly unrelated matters, right?

On what basis does Lu Chen want to combine these two matters?

Xie Wantang felt her mind was thoroughly insufficient.

After buying the things, Lu Chen brought Xie Wantang back to LC again.

His usual residence is on the top floor of the group, where the kitchenware is all present, looking brand new and shiny, as if no one had ever used them.

In fact, after Lu Chen returned from Sijiucheng, he would cook breakfast here in the mornings, make some late-night snacks at night, and settle lunch at the group cafeteria.

Next door is Professor Wu's room.

On this top floor, only the two of them, grandfather and grandson, live.

Of course, there are also several dormitories reserved for high-tech talents who can't endure staying in the lab to sleep.

However, few people use these two top-floor rooms; the lounge downstairs is more fragrant than these top-floor rooms.

Having these high-tech talents conduct research and experiments day and night is not Lu Chen's demand; rather, these capable people are each very self-disciplined.

Lu Chen never requires them to clock in and out of work, even encourages them to marry and start families, yet each person harbors their own dream in their heart.

These dreams make them feel superior to everything, including companionship with family, including their own desires.

Once, Lu Chen also thought this way.

During the time Xie Wantang firmly remembered him as her lifesaver, he had long forgotten that she was such a person.

He truly got to know Xie Wantang when he was impersonating Lu Yanshen.

They interacted like that for three years.

Using the identity of Lu Yanshen, he interacted with her for three years, they had sexual relations, and he got her pregnant with his child.

Amazingly, he discovered he had fallen for Xie Wantang after shedding the Lu Yanshen identity, returning to his Lu Chen self, and interacting with her.

The more time they spent together, the more he found his fondness for Xie Wantang increased.

Using the phrase 'love at first sight' four characters, that's definitely not correct.

His feeling for Xie Wantang should be 'love that grows over time.'

But the four characters 'love that grows over time,' he cannot tell Xie Wantang.

Having said that, Xie Wantang will definitely ask, "How did we just develop feelings over time?" They haven't known each other for long, huh?

When the time comes, he really doesn't know how to respond.

He only hopes that those troublesome matters will be resolved as soon as possible.

Passive waiting no longer suits his current state of mind; he wants to take initiative, even if the result of his initiative involves someone's sacrifice.

Xie Wantang was busy in the kitchen, and Lu Chen wasn't idle either; in the spacious kitchen, he helped her out.

Lu Chen first steamed the rice; after it was done, he began helping wash and chop the vegetables.

Xie Wantang, while busy with her own task, glanced at Lu Chen.

His movements are so practiced; it looks like he's quite capable of taking care of himself—he must have lived alone for a relatively long time.

Unlike Lu Yanshen, whether his leg was lame or after he later recovered to normal, he was like someone with a disability who couldn't live independently.

He definitely needs a servant by his side.

His status as the second young master of the Lu Family is truly proper and respectable.

Either he has her take care of him, or he has a servant do it.

The result of not being focused was that Xie Wantang, while cutting tomatoes, accidentally turned the knife toward her own left index finger.

The cut was deep; she didn't know if she had hit a blood vessel, and blood immediately gushed out—the bright red liquid instantly dripped down, mixing into the sliced tomatoes.

Seeing this, Lu Chen immediately dropped the vegetable basin in his hands, didn't even bother to turn off the faucet, rushed over, saw Xie Wantang's finger bleeding, and instinctively lifted her hand, then lowered his head and sucked her left index finger.
