"Hey, handsome, all by yourself?"
A woman in a white lab coat stepped forward, her charming gaze like a net enveloping him.
If it were Shi Wan giving such a look, he might have turned into a wolf.
But for this woman, the man felt a wave of nausea.
He coldly averted his gaze, as if he didn't even see her.
"Are you feeling unwell? I'm a doctor here. I can take a look at you," the woman persisted, trying to tempt him.
"Get lost," the man said in a cold voice, devoid of any emotion.
The woman was taken aback. Instead of being intimidated, she became even more infatuated because of his voice.
It had been a long time since she'd heard such a magnetic and sexy voice.
She was determined to win this man over.
"Don't be so heartless, handsome," the woman stepped closer. "It's fate that we met here. How about leaving me your contact information? I'll be at your service anytime."
"With a face like yours?" the man sneered. "I'd have to spend money to wash my eyes if I looked at you any longer."
"Handsome..."
"Are you flirting?" Suddenly, the door to the dean's office was pulled open from the inside. A fair little hand grabbed the man and pulled him back.
The girl said coldly, "This is my man. If you want to flirt, go find someone else."
The woman's face turned green and then white. Glancing at the dean standing behind her with a displeased look, she stamped her foot in frustration and turned away.
All she wanted was a contact information. What was there to be worried about?
Only insecure women would be afraid of their men being snatched away and not let others get close.
The more she acted like this, the more challenging it became, and she just loved a challenge.
Shi Wan retracted her gaze and said to the dean, "Well, then it's settled."
"Sure. I'll definitely select the right people for you and make them cooperate with you as much as possible."
"Thank you."
"It's mutually beneficial."
After finishing their discussion, Shi Wan took Shen Siyan and left. Along the way, they attracted a lot of attention because of their good looks. For a moment, both of their faces looked a bit grim.
Especially Shi Wan. Her gaze was cold, and her whole body exuded a chill. No one dared to provoke her easily.
"Be good..."
As soon as they got in the car, the man was about to speak when the woman in the passenger seat suddenly pounced on him and boldly sat on his lap.
"Your face is quite appealing, isn't it?"
Shen Siyan's heart skipped a beat. He knew she was jealous.
Seeing the woman almost burning with anger, he didn't dare to provoke her at this moment.
He explained innocently, "It really has nothing to do with me. She just came onto me on her own."
"So?"
She bit her lip, her eyes full of struggle.
"Baby, jealousy is your right. I'd be worried if you weren't jealous," he kissed her and said with a smile. "It's my fault for not giving you enough sense of security."
Shi Wan: "..."
What else could she say?
He had said all the right things. If she said more, she'd seem unreasonable.
"Being unreasonable will always be your right with me. Don't worry, okay?"
As if seeing through her thoughts, Shen Siyan comforted her.
"I'll spoil a grown - up like a child, and you, in particular, should be spoiled like one."
All of Shi Wan's anger vanished in an instant.
"Got it."
"Well, you're quite appealing too," Shen Siyan said.
Shi Wan: "..."
"Since the very beginning, how many rivals in love have you attracted for me? And there are still some potential ones."
"It has nothing to do with me."
The man stared at her. After a while, he reluctantly bit her lips and said, "You should also give me a sense of security."
He was actually the one who lacked the most sense of security.
His wife was more capable and better - looking than him. There were many people coveting her.
Without him, she could still live a wonderful life, but he was different.
He hadn't seen sunlight for many years. Now that it had finally shone on him, how could he be willing to fall back into the darkness?
"Here you go," she said, holding his face and giving him a loud kiss on the cheek.
"Okay, let's go."
"Sure."
He didn't like staying here anyway. Taking his little wife home was the best thing.
...
The two of them had been flying back and forth between the capital and City T. They were very tired at this moment. As soon as they got home, they fell asleep without even dealing with other things.
When Shi Wan went to see Dean Yu, she suddenly heard some people discussing the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
She stopped in her tracks. Listening to the familiar words, wasn't this their research?
When did it become Yang Yun's?
Yang Yun was from another research institute. He had once been in the same institute as her.
He had more seniority and was a bit famous in the circle.
Although they had never interacted, she knew that their institute was researching other drugs.
When did they start researching Parkinson - related stuff?
Moreover, it was the same experiment as theirs.
She heard the two people say that Yang Yun had already posted it on the Internet. She directly searched for his name online and found it.
After reading the post, Shi Wan's face looked a bit solemn. She called Gong Qi.
The phone was quickly answered. "What's up?"
"The information of our research institute has been leaked."
Gong Qi immediately perked up. "What's going on?"
"The research on cell transplantation and gene therapy has been posted on the Internet. Call me back after you've read it."
The phone was hung up. Shi Wan thought about the people in the research institute. Only the core members could have access to it, but those people had been with her for a long time.
For a moment, Shi Wan really didn't know who it was.
"Dean Yu."
She knocked on the door of Dean Yu's office.
"Wanwan, what's going on with that post on the Internet?"
Apparently, he had also seen the news on the Internet.
"There's a little problem. Don't worry. I'll solve it as soon as possible."
"That's good."
Dean Yu knew something about the ins and outs. He wasn't worried about not getting the patent, but about Shi Wan and the people in the research institute working so hard for such a long time. At the most crucial moment, if their results were snatched away, they would probably want to die.
After comforting Dean Yu, Shi Wan returned to the Shen family's mansion.
The second lady had just come out of the old master's courtyard. Her eyes were red, and she looked much more haggard.
It seemed that Shen Jiao's matter had been giving her a lot of headaches recently.
Even so, when the second lady saw Shi Wan, she was like a person on stimulants. She walked towards her gnashing her teeth.
"Shi Wan!"
Shi Wan half - curled her lips and said lazily, "Auntie, do you need something?"
"You're the one who caused all this. You're such a troublemaker!"
She raised her hand high, about to hit Shi Wan in anger.
Shi Wan accurately grabbed her hand and said coldly, "What are you talking about, Auntie? What do you mean I caused all this?"
"Didn't you cause it? If it weren't for you, Jiao Jiao wouldn't have ended up like this!" the second lady struggled but couldn't break free. She said viciously.
She sneered. "Auntie, don't be so stubborn when you're in my grasp. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what? This is the Shen family. What can you do to me?"
"Ah—"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Wan tugged at her. The second lady lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.
She was so scared that she quickly reached out to grab Shi Wan. But before she could recover, Shi Wan let go.
