Qian Bochen knew that Wen Xin had guessed what he wanted to say. He nodded and followed her out of the school.

When Wen Xin exited the school, she saw an SUV parked by the roadside. She remembered that Mu Chengxi had sent a message saying he had something to do with Ling Yichen and could not come over to pick her up. Then, why would his car appear by the roadside of the school?

“Sister Xin!” Ling Xu ‘Er jumped out of the car excitedly and ran to Wen Xin.

“Sister Xin, I know you’re going to the hospital to see Sister Xingyue. Coincidentally, Mu Bei bought food for Uncle Liang, so I came with him to pick you up. Let’s get in the car!”

Ling Xu ‘Er looked at Wen Xin excitedly, her beautiful eyes curved into a smile.

She looked at the campus behind Wen Xin and the teaching building in the distance. She felt that this high school looked pretty good. She liked it and could go back and discuss with Ling Yichen about attending school here.

Wen Xin looked at Ling Xu ‘Er. Right now, all she could think about was Qian Bochen’s purpose for looking for her, so she did not have the energy to pay attention to Ling Xu’ Er’s gaze. She spoke to Ling Xu ‘Er in a flat voice.

“I still have something on, so I can’t go to the hospital with you. You can go with Mu Bei first, okay? I’ll come and find you later.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you when I get back.”

Ling Xu ‘Er smiled sweetly at Wen Xin. She really liked this cold and cool elder sister. She felt that she was very valiant.

After saying goodbye to Wen Xin, Ling Xu ‘Er bounced back to the car.

After watching Ling Xu ‘Er leave, Wen Xin looked at Qian Bochen beside him.” Let’s go to the restaurant to talk. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“Alright.”

Ever since Qian Bochen recovered, he had restrained himself from disturbing Wen Xin. After receiving Ma Wenyuan’s call today, he couldn’t control the excitement in his heart and wanted to ask Wen Xin something.

Wen Xin walked to the roadside and hailed a taxi. She opened the door for Qian Bochen and let him get in first. She then got on the other side.

The car stopped in front of a medium-sized restaurant. Wen Xin did not take Qian Bochen to a big restaurant because she felt that this restaurant was just right. She had eaten here with Chu Yunxuan before, and the food was quite good.

Wen Xin and Qian Bochen followed the waiter upstairs. He handed the menu to Wen Xin. He was not in the mood to think about what to eat. His mind was filled with the notebook that Wen Xin had given to Ma Wenyuan.

After taking the order, the waiter left the room. Wen Xin poured Qian Bochen a cup of tea and said calmly, “I know what Uncle Qian wants to ask. Uncle Tan left behind that notebook. When Uncle Tan passed away, Su Li packed up his things and stole the notebook and documents. The rise of the Geng family was one of the projects, but now that project has been sold to the Liang family in

Beijing.”

When Wen Xin saw Qian Bochen looking for him, she had already guessed that he must have heard about the laptop.

Qian Bochen took the tea from Wen Xin and looked at her expectantly.

“Ma Wenyuan has already arranged for people to continue their research. I wonder if you’re interested in the project inside. Do you want to join their research?”

Qian Bochen had taken the initiative to look for Wen Xin today. On one hand, he wanted to ask about the laptop; on the other, he wanted to help Ma Wenyuan persuade Wen Xin to join the project.

“I don’t want to join the laboratory yet. Those projects are more than ten years old. It’s very difficult to restart them. Let Wen Huai join the laboratory after the college entrance examination. I still have my things to do.”

Wen Xin’s eyes were cold as she lowered her head. She did not want to touch those projects. Those projects were a nightmare to her, constantly reminding her that her parents had passed away because of them.

Qian Bochen was not too surprised—Wen Xin’s answer was the same as what Ma Wenyuan had said she would reply. He felt that even if the Wen couple were alive, they would respect Wen Xin’s thoughts and not ask Wen Xin to do anything.

“Uncle Qian, if you’re interested in those experimental projects, you can return to the laboratory after the college entrance examination. Those are your hard work. Going back will be considered as fulfilling your wish.’

Wen Xin looked at Qian Bochen seriously with her bright black eyes. Her slender fingers tapped the table from time to time.

She had seen all the projects in the notebook. Some of the research had Qian Bochen’s name, but many of them were only about 60% completed.

She wanted him to return to the research institute to compensate for his regret of interrupting his research back then.

“I… I’ve been away from the laboratory for so long. Can I go back?”

Qian Bochen looked at Wen Xin with uncertainty. He was the one who insisted on leaving. Was he qualified to go back?

Wen Xin looked at Qian Bochen’s slightly red eyes. She could roughly imagine the reason why Qian Bochen left. The partner who used to work with him suddenly passed away, and the research project’s progress was lost. They could not start over again, so they had to give up the career they loved and were passionate about.

Wen Xin could understand how regretful they felt.

“The information has been recovered, but your colleague has passed away. I wonder if you’re willing to continue to fulfill your dreams.”

“Of course I’m willing. I’m willing to fulfill the dreams he once had and continue to fulfill our common goal. Wen Xin, thank you for bringing back such an important thing!”

Qian Bochen looked at Wen Xin, and tears flowed down his face. It was his beloved career and his best memory.

He dreamed of returning to the laboratory—completing the research project again. This scene had appeared countless times in his dreams.

“Then let’s go back. I think my parents would like to see those projects restarted. ”

Wen Xin was sitting obediently on the chair, one hand supporting her chin. She tilted her head and looked at Qian Bochen—who was crying tears of joy with a faint smile.

At this moment, the waiter knocked on the door gently from outside. He pushed the door open and entered. Soon, the dishes were all served. Wen Xin picked up her chopsticks and began eating with a serious expression.

Halfway through the meal, there was a hurried knock on the door. Soon, someone pushed the door open and came in. It was Ma Wenyuan.

Wen Xin looked at Ma Wenyuan, who she had not seen for a few days, and then turned to look at Qian Bochen. She understood that this meal had been planned by the two of them. One of them was playing the emotional card, and when the time was right, Ma Wenyuan would appear and make her soften her heart.

Wen Xin placed the chopsticks on the table and lazily leaned back in her chair. She crossed her legs and stared coldly at Ma Wenyuan without saying a word.

Ma Wenyuan looked at Wen Xin’s actions and knew that she was unhappy again. He looked at Wen Xin’s bright black eyes and hesitated as he pulled out a chair to sit down.

” Young Miss, why are you looking at me like that? I’m a little nervous..”
