Today.
Chi Yuhang arrived at the research institute.
Because he was previously busy with the engagent banquet, then preparing for the wedding, and also learning to manage so Zhan Family business, he hadn’t co to the institute for quite so ti.
Now that the wedding was over, he found so free ti and returned to work.
At this mont, Qiao Jing was engaged in research work.
As soon as Chi Yuhang entered the research institute, he saw her focused silhouette working.
This scene made Chi Yuhang montarily dazed, as if he was seeing Professor Qiao working in the past.
Coming to his senses, Chi Yuhang couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.
No wonder his grandfather would mistake this Third Miss Qiao for Professor Qiao; even he often does the sa.
Especially right now, seeing Third Miss Qiao earnestly at work, making him feel the sa illusion even more!
Qiao Jing inadvertently lifted her head and saw Chi Yuhang standing next to her, staring at her all the while.
Feeling a bit puzzled about this, Qiao Jing casually asked, "Is there sothing you need?"
Chi Yuhang smiled and scratched his head, then seriously said, "At the wedding that day, it was good that you helped my grandfather; otherwise, he would have been in trouble. I didn’t get a chance to properly thank you at that ti, so I wanted to formally say thank you. My grandfather and I are very grateful to you."
After listening, Qiao Jing responded calmly, "It was just a common act of courage, nothing much."
Once she said this, she withdrew her gaze and continued busying herself with her work.
Chi Yuhang stood by and didn’t imdiately walk away.
He thought that although Third Miss Qiao appeared aloof and had a kind of ’keep away’ vibe, she was actually cold on the outside and warm on the inside, just like Professor Qiao!
After working for a while, Qiao Jing realized Chi Yuhang hadn’t left and asked curiously, "Aren’t you busy with work?"
Chi Yuhang replied truthfully, "I just got back and don’t have anything to work on yet."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing slightly arched her eyebrow, pointed to a row of potted plants nearby, and plainly said, "Great timing, help move these plants into the sunlight; they need sun exposure, then move them back after three hours."
Instead of feeling uncomfortable being bossed by her, Chi Yuhang had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if it was just right.
He nodded directly and went to move the potted plants.
...
The next early morning.
After getting up, Qiao Jing noticed the weather was nice and decided to go for a jog to exercise a bit.
Erging from the small villa, she jogged towards the research institute, enjoying the street scenery along the way.
While jogging, Qiao Jing suddenly heard sounds of a dispute.
The sound ca from the alley on the left side and sounded quite familiar.
Qiao Jing stopped and curiously looked towards the source of the noise, finding a man and a woman arguing.
And that woman was Sun Mingxin!
As for the man, he wore a mask and a baseball cap, well-disguised.
However, his physique and exposed eyes made Qiao Jing feel a sense of familiarity.
Qiao Jing thought she might have seen this man before.
Sun Mingxin was pestering the man quite determinedly.
Obviously annoyed by her, the man snapped angrily, "Damn it! How many tis have I told you not to keep pestering ? Can’t you understand? Are you done yet?"
Despite his words, Sun Mingxin continued relentlessly, pestering him.
She shalessly said, "But, I like you, I really want to be with you. We’ve known each other for so long, and you should know my feelings. Just give a chance, let’s try dating, okay?"
At this mont, the man seed to notice Qiao Jing’s gaze.
He stopped responding to Sun Mingxin and directly looked at Qiao Jing.
The mont their eyes t, Qiao Jing recognized him.
This man was the gaming expert Lin Yun!
Seeing Lin Yun suddenly stop talking and look elsewhere, Sun Mingxin frowned and followed his gaze.
Upon looking, she realized Lin Yun was staring intently at another woman.
And this woman was none other than the contentious Qiao Lao San!
In an instant, jealousy and anger surged up in Sun Mingxin.
She huffed inwardly, thinking, it’s just an ugly woman, what’s so attractive about her!
Qiao Jing didn’t want to get involved in others’ matters; after glancing curiously for a mont, she was ready to leave.
At that mont, Lin Yun suddenly had a flash of insight, ca up with a plan, and called out to her, "Hey, why are you only arriving now? I arranged for us to have breakfast at seven, and you’re just showing up, making wait forever."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing knew what Lin Yun was up to.
This guy just wanted to use her as a tool to shake off Sun Mingxin!
Feeling speechless, Qiao Jing ignored him and walked away.
Seeing this, Lin Yun imdiately ran over and continued the act, "What do you want to eat? Chinese or Western? Or should we go to the restaurant we tried last ti?"
Qiao Jing didn’t respond, rely glanced at him, letting him figure it out himself.
Lin Yun leaned in close and said softly so only they could hear, "Can you do a favor? Just help this once, and I’ll give you however many signed photographs you want later."
Hearing this, Qiao Jing felt even more speechless, her mouth twitching involuntarily, "I don’t want autographs."
"You don’t want autographs?"
Lin Yun paused, then looked down at himself, "Well...how about this jacket I’m wearing, I’ll give it to you later?"
Qiao Jing rolled her eyes at him, "You want to give a sweat-stained jacket? Are you suggesting I do your laundry?"
This reaction was completely unexpected for Lin Yun.
He was montarily stunned.
Is this girl not his fan?
But on the night of the King of Glory Finals Championship, wasn’t she excited when she got his autograph and phone number?
Why does it feel like she’s turning her back on him now?
Then again, co to think of it, since leaving her number, this girl hasn’t contacted him once...
While Lin Yun was reflecting, the intensely jealous Sun Mingxin suddenly ran over, pointing at Qiao Jing and unleashing a tirade.
"Qiao Lao San, can you be a little more shaless? First, you seduce my brother-in-law, now you’re going after Lin Yun. Are you a reincarnated vixen? That’s why you flirt around!"
"Moreover, other shaless won are all gorgeous, and you are just an ugly woman. How do you even have the courage to be so unfaithful? No wonder there’s a saying that ugly people are scheming, which indeed rings true!"
Sun Mingxin’s outburst attracted surrounding elderly people who were exercising to gather around.
Listening to the commotion, the elderly people began gossiping about Qiao Jing, expressing condemnation and disdain.
"How can young won these days be so shaless? She seems easily content, but turns out to be so loose, seducing n everywhere!"
"Exactly, this young girl doing such things, she really lacks self-respect!"
"It’s beyond lacking self-respect, utterly lacking any moral sense!"
"It’s people like her ruining the social ethos nowadays!"
