Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Yanyan, coax me

In the blink of an eye, night had fallen outside.

The clock on the wall had reached the number nine.

Jiang Yifeng rubbed his sore back and looked at Shen Yanhe, who was still calmly and methodically processing the medicinal materials, a look of admiration appearing on his face.

After dealing with medicinal materials all day, he felt dizzy and had to walk around from time to time.

But since Miss Shen began working, she had maintained the same position without change.

The amount of medicinal materials she had processed was twice as much as he had.

Jiang Yifeng sighed inwardly and looked at Shen Yanhe, asking, "Miss Shen, it’s already nine o’clock. Do you need me to take you back?"

The laboratory was established in the suburbs, a distance away from the city center. It wasn’t safe for a young girl to go back alone.

Shen Yanhe lowered her gaze, skillfully finishing the last of the medicinal materials with her hands clad in disposable medical gloves before standing up, "No need, thank you..."

She hadn’t finished speaking.

A knock sounded at the door.

A cold and magnetic voice came from outside, "Yanyan, I’m here to pick you up."

Shen Yanhe’s eyes brightened, and she smiled at Jiang Yifeng, "My ride is here."

The girl’s smile was bright and brilliant. Her natural cat-like eyes squinted as she looked up, her elegant manner flowing, capturing one’s gaze in an instant.

Jiang Yifeng watched the smile on her face, unusually pausing for an instant, a flash of admiration quickly passing through his eyes.

But he soon shifted his gaze, not continuing to stare at Shen Yanhe.

Shen Yanhe didn’t notice, stretching her limbs and hopping to the door. Seeing the man at the entrance, a sweet smile spread across her face, "You’re here~"

Fu Yanhe’s eyes softened with laughter, hummed lightly, and reached out to hold her hand, interlocking their fingers gently as he asked, "Are you finished with everything? Should we head back now?"

Shen Yanhe nodded, swinging their clasped hands, "All done, I just need to pack up my things and then we can go."

Fu Yanhe’s eyes drooped as he looked at their hands together, slowly letting go, "Then you go ahead, I’ll wait for you here."

Shen Yanhe turned and walked briskly toward the processed medicinal materials, "Okay, wait for me ten minutes, it won’t take long."

Shen Yanhe and Jiang Yifeng quickly packed away the processed medicinal materials, placing them in the storage cabinet.

As Jiang Yifeng was finishing up, Shen Yanhe went to her rest area to take off her lab coat.

Jiang Yifeng, checking the equipment, couldn’t help but glance toward the door.

He saw a man in a wheelchair at the entrance.

The man was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, handsomely featured, and exuded an air of refined nobility.

Fu Yanhe, with his sharp senses, felt the gaze upon him. He looked up calmly, his eyes meeting Jiang Yifeng’s.

That single look sent a shiver down Jiang Yifeng’s spine as if he had been targeted by some terrifying, indescribable entity, his heart suddenly clenching.

With a stiff and strained effort, he managed a smile, politely nodding to Fu Yanhe.

Fu Yanhe’s expression was indifferent as he nodded slightly, retracting his gaze.

Jiang Yifeng lowered his head in some panic, a few beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

This man was no ordinary person.

"Jiang, thank you for finishing up. I’ll be leaving now," said Shen Yanhe, now back in her regular clothes, waving to Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng nodded, his demeanor gentle, "Alright, Miss Shen."

Shen Yanhe, like a gust of wind, came up quickly to Fu Yanhe’s side, "Let’s go."

After leaving the lab and getting into the car, the car sped towards the city.

The car traveled smoothly on the road.

Fu Yanhe swiped a tablet in his hand and turned his head to look at Shen Yanhe beside him, asking warmly, "What would you like for dinner tonight?"

"I want some barbecue." Shen Yanhe leaned back against the soft seat, her delicate white face showing a touch of laziness.

It had been a long time since she’d had barbecue.

After a long day’s work, she deserved some of her favorite food as a treat to herself.

Fu Yanhe’s brow furrowed slightly, his gaze narrowed, "Street-side barbecue isn’t clean and can be unhealthy."

He put down the tablet and turned to her, "How about we go back to the manor, and Aunt Li can make it for you? It’d be clean and sanitary."

Shen Yanhe closed her eyes, nodding lazily.

She just wanted to eat barbecue and didn’t care where it was.

Having the opportunity for cleaner, more hygienic food, she naturally wouldn’t object.

Seeing her eyes closed, Fu Yanhe reached out his hand, his cool hand gently nudging her head onto his shoulder.

Shen Yanhe snuggled closer to him, resting against his shoulder that carried a hint of sandalwood scent, her relaxed nerves feeling somewhat sleepy.

The inside of the car fell silent.

Fu Yanhe played with her slender, soft hand, and after a while, he spoke in a subdued voice, "Do you still need assistance with your research?"

Shen Yanhe opened her eyes, lifted her head, and rested her chin on his shoulder, blinking as she asked, "Why do you suddenly ask that?"

"You currently only have one male assistant. I have no objections to him, but over time, if others see you together, it could lead to rumors."

"Besides, one assistant’s help is limited. Recruiting a few more could make things easier for you."

Fu Yanhe looked down at her, his pupils deep, but his voice remained even.

Shen Yanhe inexplicably detected a hint of jealousy.

She shifted herself closer to Fu Yanhe curiously, their noses almost touching, a smile in her eyes, "Are you jealous? Upset? Don’t like me being alone with another man?"

Fu Yanhe’s dark pupils calmly watched her, his gaze growing deep.

After a long while, he slowly reached out, his cool hand encircling her slender waist, pulling her slightly towards him.

He rested his forehead against Shen Yanhe’s, sighing lightly, and said honestly without hiding anything, "Yanyan, no man can tolerate having the woman he loves alone in the same space with another man."

The moment he learned that Shen Yanhe’s assistant was a man, his first thought was to destroy that assistant.

But Fu Yanhe knew that Shen Yanhe didn’t like him interfering with her relationships.

So he had been enduring it, restraining himself from doing anything that would make her unhappy.

Until today, when he saw Shen Yanhe and her assistant alone together in the same space.

He couldn’t hold back any longer.

Shen Yanhe hadn’t expected Fu Yanhe to be so candid. She looked at him, a bit stunned, feeling the hand on her waist tighten, pulling her closer to him.

Fu Yanhe’s gaze grew darker, his breathing deepened.

She heard him say, "Yanyan, I am jealous, I am not happy."

"Calm me down."
