She doesn't want to pretend anymore

Tongnian glanced at his watch and gave Mrs. Wang an apologetic smile.

"Sister-in-law, when you came to City C, I should have put down my work to accompany you for a walk, but unfortunately, an important surgery was scheduled for this afternoon."

"How about this, you can have fun on your own first, and I will reimburse all the expenses incurred in City C!"

Mrs. Wang was not an unreasonable person. She pulled the hand of the beautiful woman next to her and said, "Then you go first. There's no rush."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you yet. This is my junior schoolmate, Chi Yue."

Tongnian nodded politely to Chi Yue: "Hello, Miss Chi. Miss Chi and sister-in-law have the same last name?"

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Wang, also known as Chi Li, smiled, "I think it's a coincidence too."

In fact, she had only known Chi Yue for a short time, but the two of them felt that they had met too late and had a feeling of mutual appreciation.

Tongnian did not comment: "Sister-in-law, Miss Chi, you guys go shopping first, later in the evening... my surgery might be a little late, let's do it tomorrow, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."

"Okay, go and do your work."

Mrs. Wang waved at Tongnian.

"Sister, didn't you say you brought something for your brother-in-law?" Chi Yue reminded Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang then remembered, "Yes, I brought him some spare clothes and some other things. Childhood, can I see him again?"

Obviously, Mrs. Wang still wanted to give the things to her husband personally.

Her husband's work this time needed to be kept confidential, and he didn't know how long he would be able to come home, so she came to City C at the behest of Chi Yue.

Wang Bowen has just joined the research team and probably hasn’t started much work yet, so it shouldn’t be difficult to meet him now.

Tongnian obviously didn't expect that Wang Bowen's wife would ask for a meeting.

This is not something he can decide.

Besides, the research team was already being targeted by bad guys.

What if Chi Li meets her senior brother and attracts the attention of someone with ulterior motives?

"Sister-in-law, my senior brother is in the laboratory. He has plenty of food and clothing over there. You don't have to worry about him not having enough food and accommodation."

"As for the meeting, I really can't decide. After all, I'm not a member of the research team."

Just as Chi Li was about to speak, Chi Yue beside her said, "Is there no way to apply to the higher-ups? Doctor Tong, my sister took a lot of time to ask for leave and came all the way from the capital just to see my brother-in-law."

"Now that I'm here, not only can I not see him, I can't even call him. How can my family feel at ease?"

"Not only my sister, but also the parents of both families and the children all miss my brother-in-law."

"Especially children, who can't see their dad and keep talking about him, may not even remember what their dad looks like after a year or two."

Chi Li was about to back out, but when she heard Chi Yue mention the child, she became determined again.

"Yes, my child hasn't seen his father for several months, and he keeps crying."

"You brought the child too?" Childhood frowned.

Is there a communication problem between my senior brother and his wife?

Why bring the child to City C? With such confidentiality, how can the child see his father just because he says he misses him?

My sister-in-law is not worried that the child will suffer from acclimatization after taking him on such a trip.

"I brought it. I didn't dare to bring it to the hospital in the middle of winter. I was afraid that it would spread the disease."

Chi Li said, "In the hotel, my mother is watching over me."

What I mean is, not only the child is here, but even the mother-in-law is here?

It’s not that you can’t ask the sister-in-law to take care of the children and the mother-in-law, but what is this sister-in-law thinking by making such a fuss?

Did she want to see her husband herself, or was someone instigating her to do so?

Tongnian couldn't help but glance at the woman named Chi Yue next to him.
