In the First Research Institute.

When Xu Yi returned to the laboratory, as expected, Qiao Nian was experimenting. She was wearing goggles and looking at the reactor in front of her, so she did not notice him enter.

Xu Yi heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down.

He took off his coat and changed into a lab coat, then walked over and asked, “Are you on the third experiment?”

“Mm.” The girl did not even look up. Her gaze was firmly fixed on the reactor, not wanting to miss any changes.

Xu Yi did not disturb her anymore. He stood quietly at the side and waited with her.

An hour later.

The reactor stopped.

Qiao Nian recorded the experimental data.

Her fair side profile was well-defined, and her jawline was extremely smooth. She was the kind of beauty that would stun people with a single glance.

In addition, her expression was focused and serious. Her black eyelashes were lowered, and she looked overly cold.

Qiao Nian noted down all the data and took her notepad back to the computer to record it.

She had been practically living in the laboratory recently. A lot of experimental data was collected.

Qiao Nian wrote down the latest data and hit the Enter button. A few minutes later, a 3D model popped up.

The 3D modeling lines were still very simple. There were only a few strokes, but the rough outline of the structure could already be seen.

Xu Yi stared at the model rotating at a uniform speed on the screen in surprise, his cold eyes bursting with fanaticism.

Semiconductor missiles?

He had never seen such a missile before.

Seeing that the model was getting clearer and clearer, Qiao Nian got up and went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water. She picked up her cell phone while she was resting and lowered her head to verify the password lock…

After turning on the cell phone, the first thing she saw was Ye Wangchuan’s

WeChat message.

Qiao Nian opened the message.

The first thing she saw was a certain someone’s profile picture.

She scrolled down and quickly saw the latest message.

[Y: Your colleague with the surname Xu knows someone from the reclusive family?]

Qiao Nian had just finished a complicated nuclear reactor experiment and her mind was in a mess. At the sudden question, her mind processed for half a minute before she remembered that the colleague with the surname Xu was beside her.

She replied with three question marks.

He replied instantly.

[Y: I saw someone from the reclusive family chatting with him outside the research institute. They seemed familiar with each other, so I wanted to ask you.]

After reading the message, Qiao Nian looked up and asked directly, “Do you know someone from the reclusive family?”

Xu Yi was still studying the missile model on the computer. Hearing this question, he looked over in surprise and immediately felt a little awkward.

“How did you know?”

“l heard you met someone outside.” Qiao Nian’s tone was very ordinary, like a casual chat between friends. There was nothing special about it.

Xu Yi slowly lowered his tense shoulders and smiled bitterly. “l told you about my background. ”

Qiao Nian thought for a moment and remembered that he had said something about being an illegitimate child.

She nodded.

Xu Yi pursed his lips. “They sought me out. He’s from a hidden family.” Qiao Nian was surprised, but not overly so.

The last time Xu Yi told her about Ji Ziyin, she had guessed that his father might be from a reclusive family. Of course, it was still a surprise for her.

Qiao Nian suddenly had a sense of déjå vu. She felt that these people seemed to be everywhere.

Were the reclusive families so worthless these days?
