Chapter 645 - 196: Top-Tier Gossip
Breaking away from the enthusiastic circle of classmates, I returned to the laboratory at night.My feet hadn’t even stepped inside the door.
A handsome guy appeared in sight.
His features were familiar, his aura ordinary.
He looked at Ji Li pitifully, his clothes dirty, hair messy, like a pretty boy refugee.
Ji Li, wearing a lab coat, stood with arms crossed at the door; he came today to look at experimental data and samples, which was his job.
Of course, it also gave him a reason to check if his future girlfriend hadn’t been snatched away.
He had only been away for a week, how come there’s another unfamiliar person here.
Su Xiaocai accused first, "Who’s he to you? Why does he look so aggrieved?"
Ji Li tapped her forehead, "On purpose, huh, a small researcher like me, who can I wrong."
Su Xiaocai covered her forehead with a dry laugh, examining carefully.
The handsome guy stayed silent, but the burly man beside him, whom Su Xiaocai knew, was one of the bodyguards Admiral Bai had given her.
"Xiang Qian?" Suddenly appearing before her, Su Xiaocai couldn’t believe it.
Every time she just thought of him, he would bring information, even faster than battleship express delivery.
Xiang Qian was smug, as if he had found his organization again, "Boss, you really have a great memory."
He pulled up a bit of his clothes, showing his stomach, whining, "Boss, look at this layer of skin, it’s all wrinkled."
Xiang Qian used to be a big fatty, white and plump; after slimming down quickly, his skin sagged all over.
Several wrinkled folds gathered under his belly, looking very unsightly.
It wasn’t due to muscle-building exercises, but because of a drastic reduction in appetite.
Besides his face, his arms, belly, and thighs were all wrinkled.
Su Xiaocai found it an eyesore, and asked Ji Li nonsensically, "Why aren’t you covering my eyes, with a man lifting his shirt in front of me."
Ji Li: "..." His possessiveness isn’t that warped.
Besides, what kind of belly hasn’t Su Xiaocai seen; if she wanted to, she could see eight-pack abs every day.
Feeling that silence didn’t sit well either, Ji Li retorted, "Do you like this style?"
Su Xiaocai rolled her eyes, "Don’t understand romantic charm, what’s the use of you."
"As long as you like it, it’s enough." Ji Li said boldly, looking good enough, matching her aesthetics is enough, he has a freshness period of at least a few decades; with more effort, a hundred years is not a problem.
Ji Li said it earnestly; he doesn’t have a deep feeling persona, just pure honesty, so there’s no sense of mushiness.
"Boss, is this your boyfriend?" Xiang Qian knew of Ji Li, a wealthy man, one of the shareholders in the Extraordinary Island project.
The Ji Family has been a wealthy, established family for a long time.
He was excited, the boss likes wealthy people, which means there’s no worry about Su Xiaocai keeping a little boy toy in the future.
If she frequently changed boy toys, with skewed values whispering in her ear, subordinates like him would suffer.
"Not yet."
"Not yet."
The two spoke in unison.
"Hehe, not yet, soon to be. Boss Ji, you better work hard." Xiang Qian was stopped at the door because of his drastic appearance change; Kaye didn’t dare confirm his identity.
Before, he had spent some time with Xiang Qian; even seeing him every day, he couldn’t recognize him, let alone Ji Li, he wouldn’t recognize him at all.
"Recently, the management here has been strict, fearing imposters." Su Xiaocai’s bodyguard team requested a blood sample from him to give to Xiao Wanzi to check the genes.
Xiang Qian didn’t mind; knowing Su Xiaocai’s popularity and importance, as the frontline intelligence personnel, how could he not be aware.
On remote stars of distant systems, Su Xiaocai’s achievements spread in no time, she is a national treasure level figure now.
After drawing blood, "Boss, we found something, so we returned to Capital Star and continued investigating until we were sure."
The group entered the laboratory, Su Xiaocai sat in the hall’s chair, Xiang Qian and two bodyguards sat down.
Ji Li, knowing his cue, said, "I’m going downstairs."
"Later we might have to ask Boss Ji about a few things, is he convenient to listen in?" Xiang Qian thought asking Ji Li about the matters being investigated might provide quicker answers.
Ji Li looked at Su Xiaocai, she beckoned him; the matters she was investigating had a certain gossipy nature, she wasn’t afraid of Ji Li knowing.
She had seen his family’s awkward stories, and hers didn’t have much to hide.
She patted the spot next to her, indicating for him to sit.
Ji Li sat down, maintaining some distance from Su Xiaocai.
Su Xiaocai didn’t mind him.
This man, once the truth is out, starts to restrain himself, and she didn’t know what he was restraining; could she even eat him?
Xiang Qian showed Su Xiaocai the investigation records; he recorded what he did every day in a notebook.
At Quanai Orphanage, he didn’t dare send information via communication, fearing eavesdropping, living in constant fear.
