Chapter 414 Who said that? I'm your uncle, and you're my niece!
Have someone send it back...
Before Huo Wangshu could finish speaking, Qiao Manman stuffed the things into her closet: "No way! He's already given them to me, it would be disrespectful if I didn't accept them!"
With just one sentence, Dean Huo realized the underlying meaning and said with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, shall we go outside and have a chat?"
Qiao Manman glanced at the lab table: "Team leader, can you keep an eye on things for me for a bit? I'll be back in half an hour!"
"Okay, go ahead, no rush, just call us if anything happens!"
Qiao Manman nodded and followed Huo Wangshu away.
As the two walked in the small garden in front of the research building, Qiao Manman said, "He Jingcheng might be my uncle!"
Huo Wangshu was startled for a moment, but then felt that it made some sense.
"How could research ability appear out of thin air? You have a family tradition of it; you have the genes for it!"
Qiao Manman smiled: "Maybe!"
"So what are you thinking now? Don't you plan to acknowledge him as your father?"
"I haven't thought it through!" Qiao Manman raised her hand and plucked a leaf: "Our situation is complicated. I'm telling you this to give you a heads-up so you can be mentally prepared!"
"Okay, I understand. Whatever choice you make, I will support you."
"Then I'm going back to work!" After saying that, she waved her hand, turned around amidst Huo Wangshu's smile, and jogged back to the laboratory.
An Jinnan noticed that she didn't seem as worried as before, and was quite curious. However, she refrained from asking any further questions, showing good self-awareness.
The two discussed the details of the experiment until very late before Qiao Manman dragged her tired body back to the dormitory.
He used a teleportation scroll to appear in his home.
Hearing the sound, Lu Yuan was startled awake and took a step to the cabinet.
He opened the cabinet door and saw the person he had been longing for day and night. Overwhelmed with emotion, he hugged her tightly: "Wife, I've missed you so much!"
Qiao Manman said softly, "Me too!"
Hearing the noise, the neighbor's big yellow dog wagged its tail and came over. When it saw its owner, it opened its mouth to bark.
Qiao Manman waved her hand, and she and her dog disappeared into the space.
Little Flower fluttered its wings to greet them. Qiao Manman let Big Yellow and Little Flower play by themselves and took Lu Yuan back to the villa.
Tell him about meeting He Jingcheng.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan fully supported Qiao Manman's idea. Whether or not they acknowledged the relationship, it didn't matter.
I never expected that my seemingly ordinary mother-in-law would come from such an extraordinary background. This reversal feels like a dream.
Qiao Manman said, "Because I'm the villainous female supporting character in the comic book, the production quality has to be high."
Lu Yuan seemed to understand but not quite, and carried her back to the room to fool around.
After a day and a night (space time), the two prepared to part ways.
Qiao Manman picked a lot of fruit for Lu Yuan and also packed a bunch of snacks.
Lu Yuan hugged her tightly, his face full of reluctance: "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. If it really doesn't work out, come home and I'll take care of you!"
Qiao Manman was amused and gently tugged at his cheek: "Okay!"
The next second, he left the space and said goodbye in the dim morning light: "I'm leaving. I'll be quite busy lately. I'll come see you again in half a month!"
Lu Yuan instinctively reached for her hand, but only grasped air.
He stood there stunned for a few seconds, then laughed in exasperation: "You brat, you run really fast!"
A sense of disappointment rose in my heart, and it took me a while to adjust my mindset before I went to the bathroom to wash up.
Then, I would run and exercise in the first rays of morning sunlight to release the longing in my heart.
Back in her dormitory at the research institute, Qiao Manman felt lost and dejected, but she knew that time was precious and she couldn't afford to indulge in romance.
After washing up, I went to the cafeteria for lunch. As soon as I stepped in with my left foot, I caught a glimpse of He Jingcheng waving his hands.
"Here you are, Comrade Xiao Qiao, I've already got your food!"
Qiao Manman rolled her eyes, pretended not to hear, and took her lunchbox to the window.
Master Lai lowered his voice: "Who is that guy? Trying to woo you? He's quite handsome, but he doesn't seem to be very bright!"
And she's older than you, maybe already married. Girl, don't let your imagination run wild!
Qiao Manman was both amused and exasperated: "Uncle, I'm married. My husband is a soldier."
"Then you should explain it to him clearly, so that people who don't know the facts won't misunderstand."
Qiao Manman sighed, "My relationship with him isn't what you think. Researcher He suspects I'm related to him, I..."
"Huh, relatives?" Master Lai observed the two carefully and nodded: "You two do look somewhat alike! What, are you really related?"
"Who knows? Anyway, they're all things without evidence!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than He Jingcheng came running over, asking, "Manman, is it because there are too many people in the cafeteria that you didn't hear me?"
Qiao Manman chuckled softly, "Comrade He, we have no connection whatsoever, it's best to keep our distance!"
"Who said that? I'm your uncle, and you're my niece!"
Qiao Manman's eyes flickered slightly, thinking to herself, "When did this blockhead finally get it? He's even making connections now."
He puffed out his chest and said with a hint of pride, "They all say we look alike. Judging by our ages, you're probably my niece!"
"Come here, niece, call me 'Uncle' and let me hear it!"
Qiao Manman: "......"
I really want to yell, "You're crazy!"
"Researcher He, you have a vivid imagination, but please don't make unfounded claims of kinship!"
"I didn't just casually claim kinship; I genuinely believe you're my niece!"
"But you have no evidence!"
Qiao Manman carried her lunchbox to a corner and began to eat heartily.
He Jingcheng clung to her like glue, chattering on and on, but whatever he said went in one ear and out the other.
After finishing my meal, I washed my lunchbox and headed straight to the project team.
He Jingcheng wanted to go with them, but was stopped by security guards outside the stairwell.
Watching her soon-to-be niece's retreating figure, she tearfully encouraged herself: "Never give up, never abandon, one day, love will move Manman!"
As Qiao Manman listened to the system's announcement in her mind, she almost couldn't help but spit out her saliva.
I finally managed to squeeze into the research lab before I dared to laugh out loud.
An Jinnan asked, "You found some money, and you're in such a good mood?"
"Absolutely! I dreamt last night that we were discussing how to solve that problem..."
An Jinnan's eyes lit up as she listened. After she finished, she ran off to do the experiment without even having time to say anything.
Qiao Manman shared the snacks He Jingcheng had given her yesterday with everyone before catching up with An Jinnan.
They were so busy for days and nights that they completely forgot about what was happening outside, and their meals and water were brought back by their team members.
So much so that He Jingcheng waited outside for several days, but when he didn't see Qiao Manman at all, he thought she was angry.
After inquiring with Dean Huo, he learned that his niece was very capable and became extremely proud: "No wonder she is a daughter of the He family!"
"Instead of wasting time here, Comrade He should seize every minute to cultivate new crops."
Once we achieve something, we can show it off to Comrade Xiao Qiao!
Maybe she'll change her mind when she sees how ambitious you are.
He Jingcheng thought about it and realized that it made some sense.
Please ask Dean Huo to pass on a message: "Tell my niece that I'll come see her as soon as I'm done with work, bringing her delicious food and fun toys. Tell her not to forget me, okay?"
Huo Wangshu dismissed him like a child, saying, "Okay, okay, I promise I'll deliver it to you without missing a single word!"
