Chapter 469: Plan to Win Back Boyfriend Using Green Tea 14

A few lab technicians saw He Yuchuan come in, but they didn't stop what they were doing, merely nodding slightly to greet him.

"Chairman He, is there something you need?"

The person in charge was somewhat surprised to see him.

"It's fine; does the outside weather affect the experiment?"

He Yuchuan regained his cold demeanor, scanning the various data constantly rolling on the big screen.

"No effect for now; after detecting a change in air humidity, we urgently switched the experimental group."

The person in charge handed over the core documents compiled from the recent period to He Yuchuan.

"However, the research progress on a batch of radiation-shielding equipment has been blocked, and it hasn't been included in the statistics yet."

"The reason."

"Because of the crystal element issue, the French supplier originally providing it suddenly said they wanted to raise the price, and the price exceeds our maximum budget."

The person in charge seemed to think of something and added: "Recently, a small company contacted us, saying they have crystal elements with the same technology, and their quality is even better than that of our original supplier."

"That company also does instrument experiments, but they suddenly changed their upper management, so we dare not trust them blindly."

He Yuchuan turned a page: "Didn't they send a sample crystal element?"

"It was supposed to be delivered these past few days, but today's extreme weather messed up the plan."

"Hmm."

He closed the document, placed it on the table beside him, his expression still calm.

"After the storm passes, I'll arrange a meeting with their senior officials and talk to them personally."

"Okay, Chairman He."

For the following time, He Yuchuan stayed in the lab.

Meanwhile, in the study.

Watching the red dot suddenly disappear on the screen, Gu Yuanheng looked somewhat anxious.

Isn't it said that this locator can operate even in the strongest signal-shielded places!

After many attempts failed to restore the red dot, he angrily smashed the signal receiver onto the ground.

"Damn thing!"

He opened the website feedback page and typed away, clacking, to contact the merchant.

The music room one floor above.

Jin Chen watched Gu Yuanheng's angry scoffing, let out a snort, and casually replied.

— "There's nothing wrong with this locator; perhaps your operation method is improper~"

Still trying to locate his wife's whereabouts—dream on!

——

The three people's eerie atmosphere persisted even after He Yuchuan returned from the lab, and even in the cafeteria at noon, the mood remained stiff.

Jin Chen was still the last to come in; the outside temperature had dropped considerably, and although the manor had turned on full-scale central heating, he still added a thin fleece jacket.

Compared to the morning, his face was paler, his figure light as if he might faint any second.

Guangshu followed behind him, muttering with a worried face: "My young master, good thing I called a doctor to come see you; otherwise, if you fainted, it would be even worse!"

His voice wasn't loud, but He Yuchuan, who was always paying attention to Jin Chen, still heard it.

"What's going on?"

"Young Master, please rein in the young master; he just came out of the music room drenched in cold sweat, the doctor said it's low blood sugar plus a chill, his emotions swung wildly, he barely took some medicine and felt a bit better, yet he refuses to eat lunch."

"Only after I coaxed and persuaded did I get him to come downstairs!"

Guangshu looked extremely anxious.

Gu Yuanheng gave Jin Chen a strange look.

Only half a day has passed; how did this person make himself like this? Could he be planning to use a suffering tactic?

After the vegetable-serving servant left, only the four of them remained in the dining room, all three pairs of eyes fixed on Jin Chen.

Jin Chen sat at the spot farthest from He Yuchuan at the table, silently pulling his coat tighter, forcing out a smile.

"It's not as serious as Guangshu said; it's just ordinary low blood sugar, I'm used to it."

"What do you mean by 'used to it'?"

He Yuchuan furrowed his brows, his eyes showing genuine concern: "Did you often get sick before?"

"... Well, when I first went abroad, I wasn't used to the food there."

Jin Chen lowered his head to eat rice, only answering with that sentence.

0731 suddenly came up with a sentence.

【Low blood sugar, stomach illness, and depression—truly the three-piece set of a green tea white lotus!】

"Cough cough cough……"

Jin Chen was suddenly choked, almost unable to maintain his sad expression, quickly lowering his head to hide his smile.

【Don't say cold jokes at this time!】

【……privacy mosaic.】It also didn't expect this sentence to have such great impact……

But in He Yuchuan and Guangshu's eyes, Jin Chen was already so weak he lacked the strength to eat, yet he forced himself not to worry them.

Gu Yuanheng only thought he was extremely hypocritical.

"Young Master…… this! The young master can't go on like this!"

He Yuchuan put down his chopsticks, quickly walked over to Jin Chen, not allowing him to refuse, and grabbed his arm.

Jin Chen just lifted his gaze; the tears that had been choked out earlier weren't wasted, rolling down his cheeks, looking pitiful.

"Brother……"

He Yuchuan's anger, which had just risen, was instantly lowered by that 'brother'.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, his other hand falling to the back of Jin Chen's neck, giving a comforting pinch. "Not comfortable?"

"Still okay..." "Don't lie."

Jin Chen shuddered at his scare, the corner of his mouth pulling down as he tentatively tugged at his shirt hem.

"Brother... I feel dizzy."

His voice actually already carried a crying tone.

He Yuchuan's heart tightened at the sound, and he held Jin Chen in that posture, asking, "Should we have the doctor come again?"

Not having heard the doctor's diagnosis himself, he never really felt at ease.

"No..."

Jin Chen seemed finally unable to hold back his emotions; moments later his tears had soaked his shirt, giving off a faint chill.

"Brother, will you eat with me? Just the two of us."

"I don't want to stay here."

Gu Yuanheng's face stiffened; he almost rolled his eyes right there.

With just the three of us eating, I might as well just say I don't want to see him.

He Yuchuan had no hesitation, softening his tone as he softly agreed.

"Okay, let's eat at the small restaurant on the fourth floor; the heating is better there."

Jin Chen timidly glanced from his embrace at Gu Yuanheng, still hesitant.

"Gu brother..."

Noticing he wanted to shrink back, He Yuchuan immediately said, "Don't worry, he doesn't mind."

Gu Yuanheng: "... Yeah, Xiao Chen's body is more important."

He could barely keep a straight face, so angry he could barely stand it.

Only then did Jin Chen relax; supported by He Yuchuan, he rose, half-leaning in his embrace, and without even walking the stairs, took the straight elevator.

Guangshu was extremely pleased, glancing at the instantly cold‑faced Gu Yuanheng, he couldn't help but feel disdain.

The Young Master dropped the act as soon as he left, even saying not to dream that it wasn't for the Zhuang Yuan's property.

He had a servant return the still‑hot dishes to the upstairs small restaurant, shook out his collar, and left as well.

The elevator was semi‑transparent, with Jin Chen leaning in He Yuchuan's embrace, their relationship instantly feeling much closer.

He Yuchuan didn't mention the half‑day's awkwardness at all, fearing Jin Chen would still think it was wrong and pull back.

"Brother, aren't you angry?"

Jin Chen lifted his head from his embrace to ask; this posture almost brought their noses together, even letting them feel each other's breath.
