Chapter 1016: Chapter 1015: You two wouldn’t have gone on a secret date, would you?
Xiao Qimo imdiately sensed sothing from this sentence. Was the little troublemaker not coming so day?
He looked up to carefully observe the girl’s expression. Seeing nothing unusual, he finally felt a bit relieved.
The two of them exchanged smiles, and Lu Mian went to the other side to read a novel.
Xiao Qimo continued to sit in front of the microscope, earnestly working on his experintal project.
In the evening, after Xiao Qimo sent Lu Mian back to the dormitory, he returned to Kang Hongbin’s office.
He had a question about the project he wanted to discuss with Professor Kang. Before he could ask, he saw a leave of absence note on the desk.
The man’s gaze lingered on the flamboyant signature, and he asked Kang Hongbin in confusion, “Has Mianmian taken leave?”
Kang Hongbin blurted out, “You don’t know?”
It sounded as if Xiao Qimo knew a lot about Lu Mian.
In fact, even as her fiancé, he was uncovering layer by layer about this treasure girl. The deeper he dug, the more exciting it beca.
Yes, he was the one getting excited.
He couldn’t watch Lu Mian 24 hours a day, and Lu Mian wouldn’t allow it.
This leave of absence, he wasn’t clear about.
For the sake of his pride, Xiao Qimo certainly wouldn’t admit he didn’t know. He rely adjusted his gold-rimd glasses and replied slyly and ambiguously, “I just wanted to ask how she requested the leave from you.”
“She said she’s going to Wucheng.”
After Kang Hongbin said this, he imdiately reminded Xiao Qimo, “Qimo, you’re my most trusted student. You must keep a close watch on Lu Mian for !”
Although it may not be very useful, it’s better than nothing.
The cultured man perfunctorily responded with a hum, pinching the leave of absence note, a deep look in his eyes, pausing for a long ti on the date of the 25th.
“On the 25th, I won’t be coming to the lab either.”
“You have sothing to do too?” Kang Hongbin blurted out, then realized, “Oh, could it be that you two are going out on a date? Is it necessary to be so roundabout? It’s not like the teacher forbids it…”
“…” Not really.
Xiao Qimo glanced disgustedly at his professor, “You’re overthinking it, it’s official business.”
After returning ho that night, Xiao Qimo called Lu Mian to ask why she had taken leave.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Mian paused, then said casually, “The lease for the MM Ji Storefront in Wucheng is expiring, I need to go back and sign. I’ll also handle a few property matters and be back soon.”
Her reason sounded very normal.
Xiao Qimo believed it to be true and quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Over there, Lu Mian unusually asked, “Do you want to co with ?”
The little troublemaker rarely invited him proactively, and Xiao Qimo really wanted to agree.
But this ti, he really couldn’t.
He could only regretfully and reluctantly decline his wife’s enthusiastic invitation, “No.”
“…”
Lu Mian raised an eyebrow slightly, a bit surprised.
Why wasn’t Director Qi clinging to her this ti?
This didn’t seem like his style.
“Do you have sothing to do that day?”
“Yeah.” Xiao Qimo recited the excuse he had prepared, “Yun Sang is going to Las Vegas to participate in the CFT Global Finals, I’m going to see him off. Take care of yourself while I’m not around those two days, and bring Mo Si and Mo Fan with you, so there’s soone to rely on if anything happens.”
“On the 25th too?”
Lu Mian muttered to herself about the coincidental timing.
Xiao Qimo answered calmly, “Yes, as a brother, it’s crucial to see him off at key monts.”
In the computer room, Yun Sang, who was training hard, suddenly sneezed.
Who?
Who’s going to see off?
Lu Mian laughed, “You two have a pretty good relationship.”
Xiao Qimo, feeling a bit guilty, chatted for a few more sentences and then hung up the phone.
——
The night before departure, Mo Si and Mo Fan were in the room helping Lu Mian pack her stacks of books.
Little Sansan was shaking its round head, gleefully sliding around on the floor.
While Lu Mian was in the bathroom, Little Sansan’s laser scan picked up on the black backpack she had just packed and made a very puzzled noise.
Mo Si went over and pushed Little Sansan away, “Don’t randomly look at the master’s things. Especially this black backpack!”
He had almost gotten his hand chopped off earlier, and now he was more careful.
Little Sansan dumbfoundedly displayed a few puzzled emojis on its screen.
“The baby is confused, the baby can’t detect it…”
Mo Si: …You’re already the most advanced system, okay!
Mo Fan: …When the child gets too noisy, a spanking will make him behave.
Little Sansan mumbled repeatedly, only then did the two n notice it was hovering around Lu Mian’s black backpack.
The zipper of the backpack revealed a piece of black fabric.
Little Sansan just couldn’t detect the material of this fabric, causing a fuss.
Mo Si’s eyes lit up, pointing at the fabric, “Do you know what that is? Even Little Sansan can’t detect it, isn’t that strange?”
“That’s not strange.” Mo Fan, his expression unchanged, crossed his arms, “No matter how weird sothing is, if it happens with Miss Lu, it’s perfectly normal. Like how she’s forgotten her own secret identity, what can you say?!”
Mo Si: “…What’s up with Miss Lu again?”
“You still don’t know? Miss Lu is the head of the rcenary Alliance, isn’t that impressive!”
Mo Si’s jaw dropped, “Miss Lu never exposed that!”
“Yeah, she didn’t even know herself. It was only when her subordinates ca to her that she admitted…”
Mo Si felt he missed out on an exciting story and quickly had Mo Fan recount all the details. In the end, he summarized while holding his chin, “This is a story of a boss who, after getting drunk, accidentally beca soone else’s boss.”
The boss may not be in the Jianghu, but her legend remains.
Impressive!
Mo Si muttered admiringly, then quickly edited this freshly-minted news into a text ssage and eagerly sent it to Lu Xinnuan.
Mo Fan: …It’s really quite stimulating.
“So Fan, did you really end up swallowing a stone lion raw?”
Mo Fan: …No!
“I don’t want to talk to you.” Mo Fan turned his face away, then bent down to take a closer look at the fabric Little Sansan kept scanning.
Mo Si said aningfully, “I guess it should be a black robe. I’ve seen Mo Ye wear sothing made of similar material.”
“Black robe?” Mo Fan’s mind recalled sothing, “I also saw one. When I fell into the sea, it was a person in a black robe who saved .”
“Hahaha, could it have been Miss Lu who saved you?” Mo Si half-joked.
“Probably not.” Mo Fan scratched his head, “I suspected it too. But Mo Ye was very sure it wasn’t Miss Lu.”
“Oh, then it’s not. Our master wouldn’t get it wrong.”
——
On the 25th, Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian left the villa one after the other.
One went to the airport, the other to the train station, in different directions, so it wasn’t possible for them to travel together.
Lu Mian was the one headed for the train station.
She first bought a high-speed train ticket to Wucheng.
But halfway there, she suddenly turned around and headed for a private airport.
