At this moment, Lu Yuan was sitting opposite Song Jinning and telling her about his experiences over the years.
Song Jinning was actually very curious about what Lu Yuan had done in the other world for the past 18 years, but she had never asked.
Because this was Lu Yuan's privacy. If he didn't take the initiative to tell her, she wouldn't ask.
But now that Lu Yuan was talking about it without holding back, Song Jinning was very happy to hear it.
"… So, you met Professor Lu the moment you went?"
Song Jinning asked very implicitly.
Neither of them mentioned where Lu Yuan had gone. There was a tacit understanding between them.
Therefore, it didn't matter if they were eavesdropped on when they said this.
When no one mentioned the words "other world", even if they were eavesdropped, the other party would only think that this was about Lu Yuan's experience abroad.
Now, many people knew that the two brothers, Lu Yuan and Lu Jin, had come back from "abroad".
However, very few people understood that this "other world" was not the other "other world".
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded. "Yes, I was quite lucky. I met Professor Lu the moment I went. He was also very young at that time, and his mind was full of wonderful ideas. What was even more frightening was that he had the ability to turn these wonderful ideas into reality. "
"Professor Lu is indeed very powerful." Song Jinning praised Lu Jin sincerely. "I've only worked with him for a month, but I've learned a lot from him."
"You're not bad either. Professor Lu rarely praises people, but sometimes, he still reluctantly praises you, "Lu Yuan said humorously and winked at Song Jinning.
Song Jinning thought of Lu Jin's temper and expression and couldn't help but laugh. "It's indeed difficult for Professor Lu to praise me, but I'm willing to do so."
Lu Jin was best at praising himself, and rarely looked down on others.
To be praised by him, even if it was just "reluctantly", was still a great honor and affirmation.
Lu Yuan smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. He took out the gift he had prepared.
It was also a jewelry box, the same brand as the ring Huo Guanchen had bought.
Song Jinning didn't refuse. She smiled and took a look. "It's so beautiful!"
She praised in surprise. Her bright eyes reflected the brilliance of the jewelry, and she was indescribably beautiful.
..
Text messages kept coming in, and Guo Huining's phone kept ringing.
[I'm Deputy Director Jia. This is my new number.]
[I happened to be eating at the hotel today and happened to see it. I thought it looked familiar, so I sent it to you.]
[I didn't see the man's face, but from his back, it looks like … General Huo.]
[Of course, it's also possible that I'm mistaken, and I'm too embarrassed to look at the front. These two seats are at the end of the corridor. It would be too deliberate to walk over.]
[It would be too awkward if I got the wrong person.]
The corner of Guo Huining's mouth twitched. She quickly grabbed her handbag and walked out of the house while replying to the message: [Thank you, Deputy Director Jia. Who are you having dinner with? I'll come and take a look.]
Just as Guo Huining was driving crazily towards the hotel, she received another photo.
This one was even more obvious.
In the photo, Song Jinning was sitting opposite the man with the back of a mountain. She was opening a jewelry box and looking at the jewelry inside.
From the angle of the photo, she couldn't see what kind of jewelry was in the jewelry box, but Guo Huining recognized it immediately. Wasn't it the same brand that Huo Guanchen had used to buy the rings and earrings?
The earrings were still in her ears!
Guo Huining's heart was so agitated that she couldn't think straight.
What she was most afraid of wasn't that Huo Guanchen didn't like her, but that Song Jinning had changed her mind and was willing to be with him again.
If that was the case, she knew she had no chance of winning.
…
However, what Guo Huining didn't know was that the same photo was also sent to Huo Guanchen.
Huo Guanchen had just finished a meeting and was sitting in the conference room sorting through the information he had just given. He checked the meeting minutes and even asked his secretary to bring him a bottle of water.
When the personal secretary brought the water in, she also brought his personal phone in.
This was because mobile phones were strictly prohibited in meetings at the military headquarters.
Huo Guanchen's personal phone was placed in the locker outside.
He would only take it out after the meeting.
Huo Guanchen took the phone and glanced at it. He quickly found the photo from a few minutes ago.
His fingers paused for a moment, but he still clicked on the photo.
Huo Guanchen stood up abruptly when he saw Song Jinning's beautiful smile in the photo and the silhouette that made his pupils contract.
Huo Guanchen gripped the phone so tightly that he almost crushed it.
His lips were pursed so tightly that they were almost white. He felt uneasy and fearful.
What was the meaning of this photo?
Huo Guanchen felt bitter when he saw Song Jinning smiling at another man without any defense.
But why did that person choose this scene to deliberately take a picture of her back?
Huo Guanchen's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down. He quickly turned around and left the conference room with his phone in hand as he said, "Prepare the car for me. I'm going to this hotel."
He took a screenshot of the hotel's logo in the photo and sent it to his personal secretary.
The personal secretary quickly found the address of the hotel. It was quite easy to find because there was only one six-star hotel with such an obvious logo in the imperial capital.
…
The hotel's environment was elegant and beautiful. It was low-key and luxurious.
Lu Yuan talked about his business in the other world, and Song Jinning listened with relish.
After a while, the waiter saw that their glasses were empty and came over to pour wine.
However, for some reason, his hand suddenly went numb. His hand trembled, and the red wine quickly flowed out of the glass and dripped onto Lu Yuan's pants.
He was wearing light-colored pants today, and the place where the red wine was dripping was very awkward. He quickly stood up and covered it with the hotel's menu. He said, "I'm going out for a while. I'll be back soon."
Song Jinning also saw it, but she pretended not to see it. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'm going to the bathroom too."
She easily resolved Lu Yuan's awkwardness.
The two of them stood up together and went to the men's and women's bathrooms.
…
As soon as Song Jinning entered the bathroom, someone flashed out from behind the door and locked the bathroom door.
Song Jinning turned around in surprise and saw a woman with anger in her eyes.
Looking at her, this woman looked like a wife who had caught a mistress having an affair.
"… Uh, may I ask why you locked the door from the inside, madam?"
Song Jinning asked politely.
Guo Huining raised her eyebrows. "… You don't know me?"
Why are you pretending!
Guo Huining didn't believe that Song Jinning didn't know of her existence.
Song Jinning found it even more amusing. "Why should I know you? Are you a famous physicist? Or a biologist? Or a mathematician? "
Was she mocking her for not being good at science?!
Guo Huining chose liberal arts because she couldn't handle physics back then!
