C292 Study

Qin Xu and Ye Anne walked to the dining hall together and sat down. The Nanny Hua quickly placed the cooked dishes on the table.

Because Nanny Hua was a nanny who had always taken care of Qin Xu when she was young, Qin Xu treated her like family, there was no obvious difference between a master and servant. Usually, during meals, Nanny Hua would be allowed to eat with Qin Xu.

But today, Nanny Hua sneakily glanced at the two people on the table, feeling that she was being a little unnecessary, she casually made up an excuse: "Mr. Junior Qin, you two eat first, the kitchen is still boiling soup, I'll go watch first."

Qin Xu didn't mind it much and nodded, but Ye Anne saw through his thoughts of wanting the two of them to be alone. She was naturally very happy to see it succeed, so she did not stop him.

After Nanny Hua went to the kitchen, Ye Anne and Qin Xu were the only two left in the huge dining hall.

Qin Xu sat at the main seat, while Ye Anne sat right next to him.

Qin Xu stood up and personally scooped a bowl of soup, gave it to Ye Anne and said: "I specially instructed Nanny Hua to boil this soup, it's very useful in replenishing your Qi, drink more."

Ye Anne hurriedly thanked him with a gentle gaze, and then the two of them suddenly quietened down.

Qin Xu was not a talkative person. Although Ye Anne wanted to say a few words to him at the table in order to improve their relationship, when he saw Qin Xu's peaceful appearance, he was afraid that talking too much would turn out to be the opposite, making Qin Xu unhappy.

Therefore, after Ye Anne had thought about it for a long time, when the two of them had almost finished eating, she pretended to be unconcerned and said: "Actually, today at the hospital, Chu Xiaoxiao had told me something else …"

She intentionally spoke halfway before raising her head to see Qin Xu's reaction.

Qin Xu was wiping his mouth with a napkin, but upon hearing Ye Anne's words, his movements slightly paused, and then asked Ye Anne: "What did she say?"

"She said …" Ye Anne answered hesitantly, "She said that you have been secretly in love with her since five years ago … "Also, all the girlfriends you've ever had are very similar to her because …"

If Qin Xu wanted to break up with him slowly, he could only do his best to let Qin Xu know that Chu Xiaoxiao had a scheming mind.

However, as the saying goes, they were very close. Ye Anne also knew that her own weight in Qin Xu's heart was far less than his, so when she said these words, she observed Qin Xu's reaction while she said them.

She had just said half of her sentence when she saw Qin Xu's expression darken. She hurriedly changed her words, "Of course, I won't believe what she had said. She must have deliberately said that to make me feel disgusted because she hated me."

Finally, she added with conviction: "I believe you. I know you wouldn't do something like using me as a substitute."

She simply did not have any hope that she could shake Qin Xu's feelings towards him with just a few words. As long as she could plant a seed of doubt towards Chu Xiaoxiao in his heart, she could consider it as having achieved her goal.

Qin Xu remained silent for a while, then looked at Ye Anne and said: "I didn't see you as an extra double."

His words were equivalent to saying that he had a secret crush on Chu Xiaoxiao, but he denied using Ye Anne as a substitute.

Ye Anne slightly raised her eyebrows. In her heart, she naturally did not believe Qin Xu's words, but she still had a naïve smile on her face, confirming Qin Xu's words once again, "I know, I believe you."

From Qin Xu's face, she couldn't tell how much he actually believed his, but he could clearly tell that he didn't like continuing to talk about Chu Xiaoxiao.

Therefore, Ye Anne naturally changed the topic and asked about Qin Xu's work.

She asked, "You seem very busy these days? You all have to work overtime to get home. "

Qin Xu was naturally unwilling to say that the reason why he had to work overtime today at home was because he had left early in order to visit Ye Anne in the hospital.

He paused, then replied, "The Biotechnology Department's product launch is about to take place, and it coincides with the launch of a rookie company in the same industry. As early as a month ago, the company issued a public statement saying that they had also mastered the technique of stem cell differentiation... Although he could not be sure whether the other party's statement was true or false, for safety's sake, he had to be more rigorous in order to avoid the other party's company's attack. Therefore, I've decided to organize this press conference myself, which is why I'm a bit busier than usual. "

The Qin’s Group started out as a group based on biotechnology, and advanced biotechnology had always been the basis of the Qin’s.

Twenty years ago, Qin’s's research institute was the first to take down the technology for stem cell differentiation and sealed off the technology. After that, Qin’s's cell differentiation technique was successfully applied to all aspects of medical treatment and beauty. This allowed Qin’s to be better in the field of biotechnology, and to be in an invincible position for a long time.

But now, suddenly, another company claims to have mastered this stem cell technology...

If this was true, then this was definitely a huge threat to the Qin’s. It might even reach the core of the Qin’s, which was why Qin Xu was so interested in this product launch.

He can't stop others from making technological progress, but he can improve his own products more so that he can ensure the competitiveness of his own brand.

When Ye Anne was at the Qin’s, she had heard of this product launch, and she had some idea of the implications.

After she heard what Qin Xu said, she thought for a while and said, "Although I do not know much about biotechnology, but I do have a lot of experience in hosting a new product launch. I can help you."

"No need," Qin Xu rejected her without thinking, "Rest well and don't go to work at the company anymore. I can handle this sort of thing."

He put down his napkin and continued, "I'm done eating, so I'll go to the study first. You should rest early tonight. Don't forget that you're still sick."

With that, Qin Xu got up from the ground and walked towards the study on the third floor.

Seeing that he had climbed up the stairs, Ye Anne could not help but wrinkle her brow in suspicion, as she tried to comprehend the meaning behind the last two sentences that Qin Xu had said.

~ Is Qin Xu refusing to let me help you in case she steals any trade secrets, or is he worried about her body?

In the end, Ye Anne was unable to think of anything, and in the end, still decided to let nature take its course for the time being, and only assumed that Qin Xu did not have any other intentions …

That night, perhaps because of lying down too much during the day, Ye Anne slept unstably in Qin Xu's home.

After tossing and turning until the latter half of the night, she finally managed to fall asleep. As expected, she woke up late the next morning.

By the time she had washed up and walked out of the bedroom, Qin Xu had already left for work.

Nanny Hua was in the middle of cleaning the living room, seeing that she had woken up, she quickly put down what she was doing, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Ye Anne.

Ye Anne did not have the habit of troubling others, now that she saw the Nanny Hua preparing another breakfast for him, she felt a little embarrassed.

She said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I forgot to set the alarm clock last night. I accidentally got up late. "Next time, if I don't get up in time, just knock on the door and wake me up."

Although she was Qin Xu's girlfriend in name, she still stayed at Qin Xu's house. It was very impolite to wake up in the morning and miss breakfast.

The Nanny Hua seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, she smiled at her and said: "Miss Ye, no need to be so polite, just treat this place as your own home. Furthermore you are sick, and sleeping for a while is just right for you. Your illness can also recover a bit faster, and furthermore, this is Mr. Junior Qin's intention. "

"What does Qin Xu mean?" Ye Anne asked curiously, "What does he mean?"

Nanny Hua continued to smile as she said, "Mr. Junior Qin's intention is for you to just treat this place as your own home.

Ye Anne couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have treated her so well …

Maybe he had lied to himself about the "double" last night and made up for it with guilt?

After all, there were times when Qin Xu's sense of responsibility was unexpectedly strong.

For example, the last time in the bar, after the two of them had a blissful spring day, Qin Xu had accepted his as his girlfriend.

The more Ye Anne thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, hence she did not feel overly conflicted.

After finishing her breakfast, seeing that Nanny Hua was still busy cleaning the villa, she secretly thought about it and suddenly went up to Nanny Hua and said: "Nanny Hua, let me help you clean up."

Nanny Hua shook his head: "How can that work? You are a guest, how can I let you do it? "

"But didn't you tell me to treat this place as my own? Why is it that you start to emphasize that I'm a guest now? " Ye Anne used the words of Nanny Hua to refute her, "You just said that Qin Xu had instructed me to stay here as comfortable as I can. I often do household chores in my own home, so you can let me clean up with you.

Nanny Hua opened her mouth, but for a moment, she was unable to refute anything.

However, after hesitating for a moment, she still said with worry, "But you are still sick, you can't work too hard."

Ye Anne said, "My body has long recovered, it was only Qin Xu who was worried, and refused to allow me to go to work. "Besides, doing housework is not a big deal …"

"Or," she said, after a pause, "I can only do what I can, and stop whenever I feel tired, can I?"

Since Ye Anne had said all that, Nanny Hua naturally could not refuse anymore. She passed a cloth to Ye Anne and said: "Then Miss Ye, you can wipe the table in the living room."

"Sure." Ye Anne smiled as she received the duster. Very naturally, she bent down to clean it.

Nanny Hua was afraid that she would be tired, so she wiped off the small area on the table. Ye Anne finished it in a few breaths.

She straightened up and looked towards Qin Xu's study on the third floor without leaving a trace. "Last night, when I went to call Qin Xu for a meal, I saw that his study was in a mess. I'll help him clean it up now."
