After all, Jane was no longer the little girl from back then. According to the marriage age of the royal family, it was normal for a princess like her to have children. Moreover, her outstanding performance would definitely make many international wealthy families and the royal families of other countries drool. It was just that he had never heard of anyone arranging a marriage for her before. When Yang Cheng suddenly heard it this time, he was a little confused.
"But … Yang Cheng, Jane is a girl after all. She has to get married eventually. She has to continue the bloodline of the Welsh royal family. Even if she doesn't get married this time, she will still get married next time." Catherine advised, "I thought about it for a long time before I decided to call you. I hope you can help us persuade Jane. She needs … her own honest life, not some beautiful fantasy that she can never reach."
Yang Cheng's heart twitched. "Alright, I'll talk to her tomorrow. But I'll say it again, no one can force her."
Catherine sighed faintly and hung up the phone.
That night, Yang Cheng couldn't sleep. All kinds of scenes of meeting Jane as a little girl many years ago appeared in his mind. During that time in England, he gradually watched the girl grow up. Unknowingly, this girl, who was astonishingly intelligent and beautiful in the eyes of others, had a special plot in his heart.
The next morning, after dealing with some matters in the office, Yang Cheng set off with Lin Ruoxi to the biochemical engineering area of Zhonghai University.
Because the relationship between the husband and wife had been made public, it was not strange for them to appear together.
As one of the top universities in Hua Xia, Zhonghai University was more international than Yanjing University. Many internationally famous scholars taught courses here.
The large campus was surrounded by a small hill with a large area of greenery. The roads and other infrastructure on the campus were complete, and it was completely possible to drive a car through the campus.
Because of Jane's special identity, the school and the government attached great importance to this project. Many leaders of the municipal committee and well-known figures of the school were almost all present. On the field outside the research institute, it could be said to be an unprecedented grand occasion, just like an exchange party.
On the lawn, celebrities from all walks of life and government officials from all walks of life toasted and chatted. On such an occasion, many business opportunities could be excavated, and it was not entirely to welcome Jane's arrival.
The reporters also swarmed over, but because of the security guards, they could only film from a distance outside the fence, and the flashing lights were everywhere.
Of course, most people only knew that Jane was at the pinnacle of science in the world. As for her identity as the Princess of the Welsh royal family, only a few government officials were informed.
As the main investor of this project, Lin Ruoxi, the CEO of Yu Lei, naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Even in the eyes of most people, Lin Ruoxi obviously needed to be closer than Jane.
After all, Jane only produced the results. The one who would really own the patent was Yu Lei International. When the time came, how to get a share of the profits was what everyone was concerned about.
Lin Ruoxi, who was wearing a beige dress, looked energetic, but her temperament was like a lotus on a snowy mountain, and her cold expression made many people flinch.
Many of them could only greet her a few times before they stopped talking. This was because the way Lin Ruoxi spoke made it seem as if she had no interest in chatting with others.
However, this kind of character, in the eyes of many people, was in line with this woman's appearance, and all of them were praising her from behind.
On the contrary, as Lin Ruoxi's husband, the appearance of Yang Cheng did not attract much attention. Many people in the industry said that he was just a nobody who lived off a woman. Yang Cheng was not interested in this group of people. As soon as he got out of the car, he took a glass of champagne and went to sit in the corner.
If it was in the past, Lin Ruoxi would still forcibly drag Yang Cheng along with her to greet some officials. But now that she knew part of Yang Cheng's background, Lin Ruoxi was not in the mood to do that, and she just sat there with Yang Cheng in a daze.
At lunchtime, as the protagonist of this welcome, Jane, came on the stage for the first time.
Wearing a blue off-shoulder dress with floral embellishments, Jane's amber hair was soft and loose, and her blue eyes were particularly in line with her dress. She had a perfect and delicate face of a western woman, tall and full curves. It was completely unimaginable that such a woman, who was as noble as a white swan, would be a female scientist who was busy in the laboratory in the minds of ordinary people!
When the host of the ceremony invited Jane to speak on the stage, everyone immediately quieted down. Both men and women quietly admired the true appearance of this famous female scientist.
Many of them even compared Lin Ruoxi to Jian Xiang, but almost everyone could feel that it was a clash of beauty between the East and the West, and it was hard to tell who was the better one.
When Jane spoke, she was no longer as lazy and leisurely as usual. After entering the role of a scientist, the woman was extraordinarily rigorous and serious. Every word and sentence was spoken in standard English without any loopholes. Obviously, this was the result of years of training in large-scale international scientific research conferences.
In the end, Jane also showed off a passage of Chinese that was very easy for her, and said, "That's the serious topic. Finally, I want to thank everyone present. I know that many people don't understand what I said at all. This is very normal. Many of my students have a good reputation in the world, but they actually still don't understand. Because of this, I need to stand here … But I'm very glad that everyone is not asleep. They really gave me face, thank you."
The guests present cheered and burst of applause.
Sitting in the corner, Yang Cheng also raised his glass from afar, and could not help but sigh with emotion. The helpless but intelligent girl in the Italian seaside church many years ago had indeed grown up …
Next, the banquet continued. Almost everyone gathered to discuss some serious topics. As the chief investor this time, Lin Ruoxi was discussing something with Fang Zhongping and some other officials. As a layman who did not know anyone, Yang Cheng could not get involved.
Seeing that the forest near the mountain behind the research institute was quite quiet and there was no one, Yang Cheng walked over silently.
When he came to the shade of a tree, Yang Cheng directly lay down on the cool lawn. The sunlight penetrated through some leaves and scattered on his face. A breeze blew past, and he was lost in thought.
Although Catherine's phone call yesterday was soft, as if she did not mention anything, it made Yang Cheng's heart full of struggle.
He had never thought of making Jane his woman, but if this girl, who he had almost watched grow up, really married someone else, it filled Yang Cheng's heart with melancholy.
The complicated emotions made Yang Cheng not in the mood to think about anything else.
After an unknown amount of time, soft footsteps came from not far away.
Yang Cheng did not need to look to know who it was.
A pair of slender, delicate, and beautiful legs stopped by his side. His gaze moved up along the thighs, and he could vaguely see the black lace underwear under the blue skirt. Under the elegant appearance, the woman's inner body had an unusual and gorgeous side.
"Running out like this, aren't you afraid of being photographed by the reporters?" Yang Cheng did not dare to look too much, and turned his head and chuckled.
Jane sat down next to Yang Cheng, not caring that the grass might dirty her clean skirt.
"The way I came out from the back door, they can't find it. Besides, it's best to take some photos and make some rumors, I will also be very happy."
Yang Cheng sighed, "You shouldn't have come here like this, it will make things difficult for Catherine."
Jane's eyes flashed with a deep meaning, and she asked, "Will you consider me first, or my mother first?"
"You are mother and daughter, there is no division." Yang Cheng said.
"No," Jane denied. "I am asking you from a woman's point of view, will you care more about me or the woman named Catherine?"
Yang Cheng was speechless for a moment, and pondered for a long time, and said, "I don't know, it's because of this that I couldn't sleep the whole night after receiving Catherine's call."
Jane suddenly revealed a gentle smile, "I like this answer, at least I can make you unable to sleep."
Yang Cheng was helpless, and he smiled bitterly, "You … have witnessed my past, my growth, of course I will keep you in my heart."
"Is it 'sweetheart'?" Jane asked playfully.
Frowning, Yang Chen slowly got up and sat on the lawn. Shaking his head, he said, "I don't want to play word games with you. I'm sure you're smarter than me, but the problem now is that no matter how smart you are, you're still a Welsh princess of marriageable age."
Jane moved closer to Yang Cheng, using her back to naturally lean on Yang Cheng's waist. The two of them sat back to back, and could feel each other's body temperature.
"You know why I am here."
Yang Cheng took a deep breath, and said, "Jane, do you know, every time I see you, it is like looking at a natural crystal that has not been carved. It is God's masterpiece, any decoration, any craftsmanship will make the crystal unable to return to its original form. But I also know, if I leave it like this, the crystal will only be a crystal, it is perfect in my heart, but it will never become a real work of art … My choice, will be very selfish. "
"Then don't ever carve it!" Jane said softly, "Let the crystal stay by your side quietly, and you protect it, it will actually be very happy …"
Yang Cheng was silent, and his hands could not help but clench into fists.
Jane turned her head, and a hint of tenderness appeared at the corner of her mouth, "I like you, Yang Cheng, really. Do you know, for me, this is very clear …"
