488 Friendships Can Manifest Anywhere (1)

If there was anyone in this world who was more unwilling to expose the spiritual liquid than Shen Yijia, it would be Song Jingchen.

It was comparable to a divine medicine that could bring people back from the dead. It was obvious how many people would go crazy over it. At that time, Shen Yijia would become a piece of cake. Everyone wanted her for themselves.

However, it would seem hypocritical to say that he would rather Shen Yijia not have this. After all, he had benefited from it.

He could only work hard to become stronger, so strong that he was not afraid of anything that could threaten Shen Yijia. He could become her strongest backing, so that she would not have to worry about anything in the future.

!!

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “So my beautiful husband wants me to hide away.”

Although they could not give Madam Qiu the spiritual liquid for the time being, they could still go and see her. After all, she had helped them a lot.

Coincidentally, Song Jingchen was on leave today, so he accompanied Shen Yijia.

Madam Qiu seemed to have known that they were coming. When the two of them arrived, the reception hall was already filled with fruits and snacks. Even Director Lu did not go to the boys’ school.

“See, I knew they would come,” Madam Qiu said with a smile as she looked at the couple led in by Nanny Lan.

She had seen Song Jingchen from afar a few times in the past, but this was the first time she had sized him up so closely.

As soon as the two of them walked in, she felt that the reception hall lit up.

Yes, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They were very compatible.

Madam Qiu was very satisfied. If she could see this scene often, she should be able to live for a few more years.

Dean Lu’s face darkened. Without waiting for Song Jingchen to bow, he stood up and said, “Come with me.”

Song Jingchen had received a few pointers from Dean Lu in the past, but it wasn’t necessarily true that they were familiar with each other.

Because Dean Lu was purely a scholar, he had always felt that it was a pity that Song Jingchen studied literature and practiced martial arts. If he focused all his energy on studying literature, he would definitely surpass him in the future.

However, the Bulwark Duke’s status was earned from their military achievements. It was impossible, so he didn’t want to see Song Jingchen anymore.

Otherwise, his heart would ache every time he saw him. He was not the kind of person who would make things difficult for himself.

Shen Yijia saw the change in Dean Lu’s expression and looked at Madam Qiu’s helpless expression. She suddenly understood.

Was he being jealous?

Dean Lu turned around and walked out of the reception pavilion. He turned around and realized that Song Jingchen was still bowing to Madam Qiu, who was staring at the brat without blinking.

He was so angry that he glared at him. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and follow me.”

Without waiting for Song Jingchen to speak, Shen Yijia was unhappy. She asked with a straight face, “Where are your manners?”

Dean Lu paused. “How am I being rude?”

Shen Yijia puffed up her cheeks and said seriously, “Even three-year-old children know that you have to bow and greet your elders. You can’t ask my husband to be arrogant just because he’s prettier than you.”

Dean Lu was speechless.

What nonsense was this little girl spouting?!

Dean Lu felt as if his heart had been stabbed twice.

He was not good-looking. He was not good-looking when he was young. On the contrary, Madam Qiu was a woman with both talent and beauty.

It was no exaggeration to say that the list of men who asked to marry her back then could circle the capital three times.

However, Madam Qiu fell in love with him at a glance among so many people who were much better than him in terms of looks and family background.

For this reason, he rushed back to his hometown overnight and lit three incense sticks for the ancestral tablet.

Ahem, he was thinking too far ahead.

Dean Lu’s face was even more serious than Shen Yijia’s. “You’re shallow.”

Shen Yijia was indignant. “You’re saying that grapes are sour because you can’t eat them.”

Madam Qiu could not help but laugh. She reached out and patted Shen Yijia, who was protecting her husband. “Alright, ignore him. He’s like this.”

Dean Lu would not scowl at Madam Qiu.

Not to mention that Shen Yijia was under Madam Qiu’s protection, even if she wasn’t, he wouldn’t argue with a little girl. He could only glare at Song Jingchen angrily. “Aren’t you coming?”

Song Jingchen smiled. “Yes.”

With that, he cupped his hands at Madam Qiu and left the reception pavilion.

He received Madam Qiu’s loving smile again.

Dean Lu was furious. So what if he was good-looking?

He glanced at Song Jingchen, who was following respectfully behind him. He thought of something and suddenly sneered.

Previously, Madam Qiu had said that she wanted to acknowledge Shen Yijia as her adopted daughter. He only agreed because he did not want her to have any regrets.
