I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

The laboratory was filled with the slight buzz of various instruments, and Jiang Yuzhu shuttled between these instruments and reagents. Every movement she made seemed focused and skillful.

Although Pei Jingchuan didn't know much about the work in the laboratory, he could feel the professionalism and enthusiasm that Jiang Yuzhu exuded while working.

Sometimes she would lower her head to record the data, and sometimes she would carefully observe the reaction changes in the test tube, not missing every detail.

Occasionally, Jiang Yuzhu would raise his head and smile at Pei Jingchuan. At that moment, all the silence and waiting became meaningful.

Although Pei Jingchuan just sat quietly aside, he knew that his presence gave Jiang Yuzhu a great support and sense of security.

Time passed slowly in such silence. Pei Jingchuan would occasionally stand up, walk gently to the window of the laboratory, look out at the scenery outside, and then quietly return to his seat.

His heart was filled with admiration for Jiang Yuzhu, and he was also thinking about how to better support her so that she could complete the work at hand without any worries.

During a break, Jiang Yuzhu walked up to Pei Jingchuan and said softly: "Jingchuan, thank you for waiting. I know this may be boring for you."

Pei Jingchuan shook his head, with gentle eyes, "Yuzhu, I feel very proud to be by your side and watch you devote yourself to your work. Your concentration makes me admire you even more. Don't worry about me, as long as you are safe, as long as You’re happy and it’s all worth it.”

After Jiang Yuzhu heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. She knew that Pei Jingchuan's support and understanding were her greatest source of strength.

She gently held Pei Jingchuan's hand and said, "It's great to have you."

Pei Jingchuan held her hand tightly, and their eyes were filled with infinite longing for the future.

In this warm and understanding atmosphere, the door of the laboratory opened gently again.

Dean Li Minghao walked in hurriedly, his eyes nervously and anxiously scanning the room until they landed on Jiang Yuzhu.

However, when his eyes unexpectedly spotted Pei Jingchuan beside him, his expression suddenly changed, and the tense atmosphere solidified at this moment.

"Yuzhu, you..." Dean Li Minghao's voice suddenly stopped. He was obviously shocked by Pei Jingchuan's appearance, with an indescribable complex emotion in his tone.

Dean Li Minghao just opened his mouth, ready to express a special respect to Pei Jingchuan, which was gratitude to a noble person who silently supported the development of the institute behind the scenes.

However, at this moment, Pei Jingchuan's slight change in his eyes cut off his words, and there was a force in that calmness that could not be ignored.

Pei Jingchuan nodded slightly. There was no arrogance in his eyes, only a faint request that could almost be ignored.

This simple action, like a silent boundary, elegantly and firmly told the dean: at this moment, he only exists as a supporter of Jiang Yuzhu.

Li Minghao's eyes quickly switched between Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu, and finally formed an expression of understanding on his face

He nodded slightly, and his respect for Pei Jingchuan increased a little more.

In this age of impetuous materialism, it is really rare for someone to be able to make a huge contribution in such a low-key manner without asking for anything in return.

Jiang Yuzhu turned to Pei Jingchuan, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth. That smile was a bit playful and full of love.

Pei Jingchuan noticed something strange about her and was slightly startled. His eyes asked with a hint of confusion, "Yuzhu, why are you laughing?"

Jiang Yuzhu shook her head gently. She did not answer directly. Instead, she took a step forward and gently held Pei Jingchuan's hand. A complicated light flashed in her eyes, "It's nothing. I just suddenly felt that there are some things that even if we try our best to hide them, we will still be there after all." People will see through it.”

Pei Jingchuan's eyes tightened slightly at this moment. He seemed to realize something, but he did not ask further questions. He just took a deep look at Jiang Yuzhu. There was both deep love and a bit of helpless relief in his eyes.

"Yuzhu, no matter what you know, I hope you can understand that everything I do is because I love you and I want to protect you." Pei Jingchuan's voice was low and firm, and every word seemed to carry all his emotions.

There was a warmth in Jiang Yuzhu's heart, and her eyes were full of emotion. She knew that no matter what Pei Jingchuan did, his original intention was always for her good and for their common future.

In this moment full of understanding and warmth, Li Minghao realized his position, and he knew that he had to make some adjustments to adapt to this subtle atmosphere.

His eyes turned to Jiang Yuzhu again, trying his best to show a natural and friendly expression on his face, although he still couldn't hide the uncomfortable feeling in his heart caused by the knowledge of Pei Jingchuan's identity.

"Yuzhu, I'm really sorry to disturb you." Li Minghao's voice was a little embarrassed, as if he was trying to resolve the awkward atmosphere at that moment, "I know you are very busy recently, but there are some things that really need your professional advice. .”

Jiang Yuzhu smiled slightly. She could feel Dean Li's discomfort, but she also understood his position and situation.

She responded softly, "It's okay, Dean Li. I'm always willing to contribute to the institute."

In that warm and understanding atmosphere, Pei Jingchuan's silent observation seemed to have become a tacit understanding.

However, when Li Minghao's eyes fell on him again, with a complex look that seemed familiar but pretended to be unfamiliar, there was a subtle atmosphere in the scene.

"Yuzhu, who is this...?" Li Minghao's voice contained a trace of inquiry, even though he already had the answer in his heart.

Jiang Yuzhu felt the subtle changes in the scene, and she introduced softly: "Dean Li, this is my husband, Pei Jingchuan." There was pride in her tone, but also gentleness.

Li Minghao turned to Pei Jingchuan, with an expression of sudden realization on his face. He stretched out his hand with a somewhat embarrassed but respectful smile: "Mr. Pei, it's nice to meet you. I seem to have heard your name somewhere." Although his words were pretentious, there was no lack of sincerity in his tone.

Pei Jingchuan politely responded to the handshake with a faint smile on his face, which was an understanding of Li Minghao's efforts to maintain harmony in the scene: "Dean Li, I feel honored to see you on such an occasion. .”

Although the exchange on the scene was brief, it was enough to show the mutual respect between the three people.

Jiang Yuzhu's eyes flashed with relief. She knew that whether it was Pei Jingchuan or Li Minghao, they were supporting her and her career in their own way.
