Fortunately, he got along well with people. The little beauty Yuan Miaomiao came to his rescue, “Aunt Li, it isn’t beneficial for Brother Jason to get married in the next few years, during which time Uncle Yan and you can do more research! If he gets married with children, asks you to go home and take care of children, it will be a big loss to the science community!”
“Miaomiao is correct. Old Yan and Old Li, you should do research for a few more years and leave the children’s affairs to themselves!” Academician Zheng also said kindly.
“I will spare you tonight for the sake of your Grandpa Zheng and Miaomiao!” Professor Li Lin said.
Jason sighed with relief, but still joked, “Thank you, Grandpa Zheng and Miaomiao, for saving my life. I will pay a debt of gratitude in the future!”
Everyone laughed again. Professor Li Lin glared at Jason.”There, there, let him go!” Professor Yan next to her saw it and stopped her.
Li Lin heard his words and lost her stern expression as she looked at Professor Yan with mild eyes. The scene that unfolded with the couple looking into each other’s eyes was a herald of years of peaceful time to come.
Lu Jia’er, who expected to see something funnier, saw the interaction between the family. The smile on her face slowly froze.
“Miaomiao, do you have a boyfriend?” Then came the voice of Academician Zheng.
In the past, Zheng Miaomiao’s answer would be that she was too young and not in a hurry, but today she gave a different reply. “I don’t have a boyfriend, but I have a boy I like!” she said generously.
This reply immediately aroused everyone’s interest. Seeing that everyone was watching her, Yuan Miaomiao was a bit shy, “Is it strange?”
“No, it isn’t. I just want to know which boy is so lucky!” one of the academicians laughed.
Yuan Miaomiao pretended to give a casual look, throwing a glance at Jin Xiangdong, and smiled tenderly, “It’s a secret!”
“Miaomiao, take him to meet your brother one day and I will help you check him out!” Jason smiled.
“Brother Jason, you should take care of yourself first!” Yuan Miaomiao gave a blunt reply.
The room was again filled with laughter. But very few people noticed that Yuan Miaomiao and Lu Jia’er made eye contact with each other at that exact moment.There were the barest traces oftension, but they would surely remember each other.
After the dinner finished, Jin Xiangdong accompanied the academicians to the hotel entrance and watched them get in their cars.
Jason’s parents stayed at the hotel. After accompanying them back to the room, Jason quickly went down to the lobby, caught sight of Jin Xiangdong, Lu Jia’er and Yuan Miaomiao, so he made his way straight to them.
“Here you are. You will see Miaomiao off!” Jin Xiangdong saw him come down and assigned the task directly to him.
Jason glanced at Jin Xiangdong and then complained, “Professor Lu and Miaomiao, now you see what kind of person Ace is!”
“What kind of person is he?” Yuan Miaomiao said with a playful smile.
“A cold-blooded animal! It’s a pity that I have been his brothers for so many years. But he ignored my misfortunes at the table. I have seen through him now!” Jason said.
Lu Jia’er and Yuan Miaomiao laughed in chorus while Jin Xiangdong retorted, “Of all the virtues, filial piety is the most important.”
