Chapter 1517 - 1516: Confession

Chapter 1517: Chapter 1516: Confession

Jiang Lihua didn’t mind her experiment details being known, and even proactively handed over some data to them.

She didn’t want to join the department, just didn’t want to be constrained.

Once she joined, with her current capability, she’d definitely be protected like a giant panda, just like Luo Luo.

Fan Xinglan nearly snapped his chopsticks when he heard about an assistant coming over there.

If a new assistant came, how would he find any excuse to come find her?

Several assistants arriving at once would leave him without a chance to slip in!

He instinctively opened his mouth: "No way!"

His reaction was so intense that everyone at the table instinctively looked at him.

Especially Jiang Lihua, who frowned in confusion: "What’s wrong?"

Yun Qiluo forgot to eat, perked up her ears and prepared to watch the drama unfold.

Beside her, Yan Yan let out a scoff, as if he’d already seen through everything, and reached over to place food into Yun Qiluo’s lap.

Ruffling her head as a bonus: "Eat your meal."

Fan Xinglan stuttered for quite some time, saying: "I already help you, why do you need an assistant?"

Jiang Lihua hesitated, using a more diplomatic term: "They’re more professional."

In truth, Fan Xinglan was just incompetent.

He wasn’t dim-witted, just lacked talent in this area, giving Jiang Lihua a sense of mentoring a disciple.

She was currently researching a drug to help children from the laboratory overcome superpower-related aftereffects, so a more professional assistant was more efficient.

Speaking of assistants, she was actually more satisfied with Gu Yixuan.

However, Fan Xinglan was incredibly enthusiastic and diligent, and Jiang Lihua thought he was just bored and had no one to accompany him, so she kept him around to help her.

Now that she knew he had his own affairs to attend to, of course, she wouldn’t want to trouble him further.

Fan Xinglan didn’t expect to lose in terms of professionalism!

He instantly regretted not following Gu Yixuan to medical school back then and opting for business management instead!

After dinner, Fan Xinglan continued to follow Jiang Lihua back to the laboratory.

In the lab, it was just the two of them.

He watched her put on a lab coat and glasses, appearing calm and wise once again.

Just with her tall, shapely figure, carrying an inherent allure of restraint.

Fan Xinglan trailed behind her and spoke eagerly: "Sister Li Hua, let me help you for two more days. My family’s matters aren’t urgent. Don’t listen to Little Sister-in-law’s nonsense, my dad’s just like that, he likes to meddle in my affairs..."

If Fan Xinglan had a tail, it would surely be wagging like a propeller by now.

"No, finish these up, then go back," Jiang Lihua turned to see him like this and couldn’t help but find it amusing, though she didn’t show it. She seriously looked at him and asked, "Why do you always stay here with me, what is it you really want?"

"You don’t seem to be particularly interested in these things."

Fan Xinglan froze for two seconds, flustered by her question.

"Nothing, nothing," he hesitated for a moment, then finally lowered his eyes and softly said, "I just want to spend a little more time with you..."

Jiang Lihua paused.

Even though she hadn’t interacted with many people, she had emotional intelligence. Somehow, these words seemed to have another meaning...

"You couldn’t possibly..."

Fan Xinglan stopped talking, his gaze wandering, and after a moment, he scratched his head.

Then as if he’d made some decision, he looked down and asked her:

"Sister Li Hua, um... Would you consider finding a partner?"

Jiang Lihua was completely stunned; this news was evidently too shocking for her.
