Chapter 522 Someone just said he was the father!
They buried themselves in their food, wishing they could lick every last drop of soup off the plate.
Fifteen minutes later, a group of people were resting by the dining table, rubbing their bellies.
Lu Yuan cleared away the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.
When he returned, he grabbed the car keys from the table and said, "It's getting late, I'll take you home!"
"Well, no need. I live close by with Lao Zhang, I can just stroll back. You can take Lao Qiao home."
"Even if it's close, it'll still be more than half an hour's journey. Let Ji Mingxia take you."
Xie Susu gave the two of them a push and winked at Xia Zhao, her expression somewhat ambiguous.
Xia Zhao wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground, but when Dean Zhang looked over, she immediately became serious.
"Oh, right, we still have some cured meat at home. Take it with you. We can stir-fry some vegetables and make some porridge tomorrow to improve our meals."
Xie Susu said, pulling Xia Zhao to the kitchen: "You two can chat, but you must not cross the line. It's better for a girl to be a little reserved."
"I know, Auntie!"
"Go!"
Xia Zhao hummed in agreement and stood next to Ji Ming, carrying the cured meat. Ji Ming readily helped her with her things.
Dean Zhang glanced at the two of them and smiled with satisfaction.
Turning to He Jingcheng with exasperation, she said, "Useless!"
He Jingcheng touched his nose, thinking that it wasn't meant to be, and what could he do?
"What are you standing there for? Aren't you leaving?"
"I'll wait until tomorrow morning..."
"Stop talking nonsense. You'll probably have another excuse tomorrow."
He Jingcheng, you've already taken enough rest. If you continue to waste your time, how are you going to increase soybean production?
Or are you so confident in your talent that you're unwilling to return to the research institute and live a life of poverty?
"I... I didn't mean that. I'll pack my things and go back with you."
He Jingcheng pouted and went to his room to get his package. He glanced at Qiao Manman one last time before reluctantly leaving.
"Nephew-in-law, remember to call me if my niece wakes up!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely let you know as soon as possible!"
Watching them leave, Qiao Lingyue stood up and said, "We should go back too."
Tao Yingzhen nodded: "You have surgery tomorrow, you should get some rest!"
Lu Yuan entered the room and brought him a bottle of health-boosting pills: "Grandpa, take one pill before you start working tomorrow!"
Qiao Lingyue nodded: "Let's go!"
Lu Yuan hummed in agreement and drove them home.
It was an hour later when I got back.
Xie Susu came in carrying a thermos, told him to rest early, and then went back to her room.
Lu Yuan washed his face, brushed his teeth, soaked his feet, and tidied himself up before pushing open Qiao Manman's door.
Chase the big yellow flower out, lock the door, draw the curtains, and then pull back the covers and lie down inside.
"Honey, how long has it been since we had such a quiet conversation? A month, two months, or three months?"
Lu Yuan placed Qiao Manman's hand on his chest and intertwined their fingers tightly: "Whether it's one year, two years, or a lifetime, I will always be by your side!"
He stood up and kissed Qiao Manman on the forehead. Then he lay down and buried his head in her neck and shoulder.
Tears streamed down her face, soaking her clothes. Lu Yuan choked out, "But I still want to hear you speak, even if you scold me!"
He gently stroked her lower abdomen and said, "Baby, I'm Daddy!"
Inside the small, dark room, a child playing hide-and-seek suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Huh, what's that sound?"
"What's wrong with the baby?" Qiao Manman hugged them tightly and asked anxiously, "Is something wrong?"
"Mom, someone just claimed to be Dad!"
