After the old and the young greeted each other, they left politely, as if they really only came here to exchange greetings.
But judging from the subconscious vigilance and precautions in Xie Dingyuan's eyes, Jiang Fuyue felt that it was not that simple.
really-
"Fu Zhengxin is an expert in the field of immunology. When he first sent someone to lead a team to support Continent F, the higher-ups hesitated between me and him. But at that time, Fu Zhengxin had an important project in progress, so he sent me. go."
In fact, Fu Zhengxin's plan is not hard to guess—
Xie Dingyuan has already won the Lasker Award. Even if he is allowed to develop the Shenkewo vaccine, it is impossible to award him this year's Lasker. If the project in his hand is successful, then this year's basic medical research award and clinical One of the medical research awards will always fall on him.
It has to be said that this person had a very good plan, but unfortunately, he did not expect that Jiang Fuyue would suddenly appear and come from behind, snatching this piece of fat from his mouth.
Jiang Fuyue's eyes were clear, no wonder the old man looked at her with a sinister look in his eyes, coupled with a false smile, he looked like an old monster.
Xie Dingyuan: "Fu Zhengxin is a narrow-minded person who will take revenge. This time he missed the Lasker Award, and he will probably put the blame on you. When you see him in the future, just turn your head and walk away. You don't have to worry about feelings."
"What?" Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows, "Is this person very powerful?"
The man shook his head: "It's not powerful, it's insidious, villains are hard to guard against, if you can avoid it, avoid it."
"Okay." Jiang Fuyue wrote it down.
But if the villain really dared to offend her, she would not be afraid.
…
After the dinner, the Lasker Awards Ceremony will come to an end.
Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan renewed their room, planning to spend a few more days in NY.
The next day, the two slept until they woke up naturally, then packed up, had breakfast, and went shopping.
You can't go back home empty-handed.
Jiang Fuyue chose gifts for her family and sent them back to China by post, which just solved the problem of not enough suitcases.
She asked Xie Dingyuan: "Aren't you going to buy something?"
The man was taken aback.
Apparently never had the habit of bringing presents.
Jiang Fuyue was surprised: "Don't you usually bring special products on business trips?"
Xie Dingyuan said sullenly: "...you can buy it all over the country."
Even if you can't buy it, there are also international shopping malls and purchasing agents.
Jiang Fuyue's expression was indescribable: "Can this be the same?"
He asked for advice, not pretending: "What's different?"
Be like a good student.
"..."
In the end, Xie Dingyuan may also realize that his EQ is owed, so he clenched his fist and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "How about...you help me pick one? What do you want to buy?"
Jiang Fuyue agreed.
Look all the way down from bags to perfumes, to lipsticks, silk scarves, hats and so on.
The girls walked around with great interest, and the men were dazzled.
Oh, he is also responsible for handing over the card at any time, and after swiping it, put it away again, and then go to the next one to continue swiping.
The two visited almost all the shopping malls and stores in downtown NY.
Jiang Fuyue didn't know how much Xie Dingyuan spent. Anyway, she spent all of the 250,000 dollars in Lasker bonuses, and even swiped her card several times.
Originally, Jiang Fuyue scrambled to pay for the things Jiang Fuyue bought, but Jiang Fuyue said directly: "Am I poor?"
The man could only silently put away the black card, eyes full of distress.
It is too difficult to spend money for my daughter-in-law...
Since it was to help Xie Dingyuan choose gifts for his family, Jiang Fuyue naturally couldn't avoid asking them about their preferences.
Xie Dingyuan: "The old lady likes to mix fragrance."
Jiang Fuyue took him to a spice shop.
There are fine musks and ambergris, and of course very good prices.
Xie Dingyuan didn't even blink, and simply took out his card to pay the bill.
Jiang Fuyue asked the old man what he liked.
This time, Xie Dingyuan pondered for a while: "...does it count as a plate of walnuts?"
Well!
"It should be considered... right?"
Regardless of whether it counts or not, since the old man likes it, Xie Dingyuan is not short of money, and Jiang Fuyue happens to have contacts, no matter how you say it, you have to try to see if you can find someone you are satisfied with.
"Uncle Liu, it's me... In NY, I want good-looking Wenwan walnuts... Okay, please send me your contact information."
When Jiang Fuyue called, she didn't avoid Xie Dingyuan on purpose.
The man's eyes flickered slightly. Although he was curious and vaguely guessed, he didn't ask who this "Uncle Liu" was.
Anyway, he already knew that his daughter-in-law had a lot of secrets and was deeply involved with the Yufeng Group.
After the call ended, Jiang Fuyue called at the number Liu Jinzhong gave, and the other party was a very famous collector.
He informed the address of the studio, which is in the city center and within walking distance.
The two went there, discussed and negotiated with them, and finally won a pair of dull-pointed lion heads at a price of six figures.
As for Xie Dingyuan's group of sisters, he didn't ask Jiang Fuyue to choose gifts one by one, but directly made a decision: "Each person has a bottle of perfume and a silk scarf."
Simple and rude.
Jiang Fuyue had no objection.
She doesn't need to please the Xie family, she doesn't need to be comprehensive, and choosing gifts for the old man and the old lady herself is just out of respect for the elders, that's all.
…
It was getting late, the sun was setting, and things were almost bought.
The two went to dinner and chose a Michelin-starred restaurant. Unexpectedly, they ran into Fu Zhengxin and his granddaughter again.
The old man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, combed his hair back, and was meticulous. At first glance, he looked like an English gentleman.
The girl is wearing a sky-blue cheongsam, her long hair is coiled up, she is gentle and elegant with a classic Chinese beauty. Along the way, she has attracted many curious eyes, but she is always smiling and reserved.
Fu Zhengxin: "Professor Xie, Miss Jiang, what a coincidence, we meet again."
The two looked at each other, Xie Dingyuan nodded: "It's really a coincidence."
Fu Qing smiled, even the curved lips were interpreting the beauty: "NY is so big, since we met, it is fate, you two don't mind if we sit down and eat together?"
As he spoke, he gestured and waved, intending to call the waiter to add a seat.
Xie Dingyuan: "Excuse me."
Jiang Fuyue: "Sorry."
The two spoke almost simultaneously.
Ignoring Fu Qing's embarrassing expression and Fu Zhengxin's suddenly cold eyes, the two looked at each other and smiled calmly—
This damn tacit understanding!
Fu Zhengxin quickly returned to normal. This face-changing speed was really amazing. He laughed loudly and said, "Qingqing, it seems that Professor Xie and Ms. Jiang don't welcome us. You are being abrupt."
Fu Qing showed annoyance: "I'm really sorry, I didn't think carefully and disturbed the world of the two of you."
Xie Dingyuan: "Yes." It's good to know.
Jiang Fuyue nodded slightly, she was somewhat self-aware.
pay off:"… "
Fu Zhengxin's complexion changed slightly, knowing that the two of them deliberately embarrassed him, he immediately let out a cold snort: "Let's go!"
It's not advisable to make a publicity abroad, and you'll have a good fight with these two after returning home!
Others are afraid of Xie Dingyuan, but he is not afraid.
Soon, Fu Zhengxin took Fu Qing and left.
There were no flies buzzing around, Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan were very satisfied with the meal.
The dishes are fresh and well presented.
When checking out, the manager recognized the two as the couple of scientists who stole the limelight at the Lasker Awards Ceremony, and warmly invited them to take a photo to add glory to the restaurant's wall of fame.
In return, this meal is free.
…
Back at the hotel, it was already dark.
Jiang Fuyue sorted out the things she bought today. Most of them belonged to her. They were not heavy and small in size, such as skin care products, commemorative figures, etc. They could be packed directly into a suitcase and brought back to China, so there was no postage.
After packing up, she went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After washing, he changed into a nightgown, and after drying his hair half-dried, he ran to the next door and knocked on the door.
Xie Dingyuan was drinking water, when he heard the knock on the door, his scalp became numb and he almost choked.
The scene where Jiang Fuyue hooked him last time is still vivid in my memory, I can't think about it, I get confused when I think about it, and I can't help it when I think about it... Cough...
In fact, he doesn't like to solve it by himself.
"Xie Dingyuan opened the door, it's me."
"..."
"I know you heard it."
"..."
"What are you afraid of? Can I still eat you?"
"..." That's right, you just want to eat me.
"You don't open the door again..."
He held his breath. Anyway, he had already made up his mind that she would not say anything.
Jiang Fuyue: "If you don't open me, I will be seen all over, and I'm wearing a nightgown!" As she spoke, she stomped her feet angrily.
Xie Dingyuan's face darkened, he forgot all his decisions, stepped forward in two steps, opened the door, and dragged the person in.
Don't act too fast.
The girl didn't lie, she was indeed wearing a nightgown, and it still had a hanging style.
The low V-neck reveals a pair of delicate collarbones and a large expanse of fair and smooth skin on the chest.
The skirt only reached above the knees, revealing a pair of straight and slender legs.
A pair of slippers on the feet, revealing ten round and lovely toes.
"You!" Xie Dingyuan was furious with just one look.
"What's wrong with me?" She still pretended to be innocent and blinked.
The man turned around and picked up his suit jacket, shook it, and then put it on Jiang Fuyue's shoulders: "It's not good to expose too much."
"What's wrong?"
"...not a good influence."
"But this is a foreign country. The atmosphere is open. It's okay to kiss in public. It's not like you haven't done it before."
Xie Dingyuan: "..."
Jiang Fuyue shrugged, pulled off the coat, and gave it back to him: "If you want to wear it, it's so hot, who would wear it so thick?"
The moment he took it off, he pulled the suspenders and slid directly from his shoulders to the side.
The man's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked away unnaturally.
Too white.
Not only dazzling, but also seductive.
Jiang Fuyue noticed this little move of his, rolled her eyes, and leaned towards him intentionally: "What are you hiding?"
Accompanied by the girl's upper body leaning forward, Xie Dingyuan was caught off guard by looking at her slightly open neckline...
hiss!
Dreadful!
He avoided two steps away as if fleeing, like hiding from some scourge: "You...it's getting late, go back and rest."
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows: "You chased me?"
"… no."
"Then it looks like you're going to keep me?"
"...nor."
She turned a deaf ear, went straight to the bed, sat down, propped her hands behind her back, and said comfortably and leisurely, "Well, I won't leave tonight."
"No!" The man reacted greatly.
Jiang Fuyue didn't argue with him, she just took off her shoes and lay down on the bed.
If you can't do it now, you have to do it.
With eyes full of helplessness, Xie Dingyuan walked over and tried to pull her up.
But the girl limply refused to cooperate.
"Yueyue, don't make trouble."
Jiang Fuyue let him hold one hand without struggling, and yawned herself: "Sleepy, I want to sleep."
"Go back to your room and sleep."
"I've been shopping for too long today, my legs are sore and I can't walk."
The man frowned, and carefully looked at her two calves exposed outside, they were still so white and dazzling.
"I'll call the masseuse up."
Five-star hotels all have massage therapists who pay extra, and they can come to the door within five minutes with one phone call.
"Too troublesome."
Xie Dingyuan laughed: "Okay, then how do you say so that your legs don't hurt? Except staying."
Jiang Fuyue pursed her lips: "It's like someone is reluctant to stay..."
The man just looked at her with a see-through smile.
Jiang Fuyue: "..."
"You sit down."
Xie Dingyuan followed his advice, let's see what kind of tricks she is going to do.
Then Jiang Fuyue directly stretched her leg over and put it on his lap, with a look of "I'm ready to receive service": "Click it."
"I?"
"uh-huh."
The man was slightly embarrassed, not unwilling, but: "I won't."
"It does not matter, I do not mind."
He sighed softly, and finally put his hand on it resignedly, but as soon as his palm touched, the warm and greasy touch made the man stiffen all over.
Jiang Fuyue: "Why are you not moving?"
"..."
Seeing that the man didn't respond, she gently shoved his thigh with her foot: "Squeeze it!"
Xie Dingyuan snapped back to his senses.
"… oh."
What followed was a sweet torture, Jiang Fuyue was relieved, but the man was hot and sweaty, and even breathing was slightly panting.
Jiang Fuyue: "?" As for it? She didn't ask to use too much force, did she
"...Okay." Xie Dingyuan patted her calf, "Go back to sleep."
Jiang Fuyue retracted her legs, not only didn't leave, but directly lifted the quilt, covered her head, rolled it up again, and said in a low voice, "I can't do it, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep first."
"..."
In the end, Xie Dingyuan really had no choice but to sleep in the same bed with her.
Jiang Fuyue, who had already "slept first", rolled into his arms, and felt the man's body stiffen for a moment, she slightly curled her lips: "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you."
He blurted out: "Me neither!"
It would have been nice if the physical reaction was so honest, but unfortunately, I can't help it...
Jiang Fuyue: "Come closer."
Xie Dingyuan didn't move, he couldn't hide any reaction when he got close.
If the mountain is not just me, then I have to be the mountain, Jiang Fuyue moved, and the two of them just stick to each other.
"Hiss!" The man gasped, "What are you doing..." What.
Before he finished speaking, a kiss fell on his neck, Jiang Fuyue sucked heavily, "Good night!"
…
As a result, when Xie Dingyuan woke up the next morning while brushing his teeth, he found that his neck was red.
"Tsk..." He touched the mirror and clicked softly.
Today, the two still plan to go out, but they don't want to buy anything anymore. They want to visit the nearby church and feed the pigeons by the way.
But before going out, Xie Dingyuan's cell phone rang...
"Hello?" Because the caller showed a series of unfamiliar numbers, he didn't know who was calling.
"Ah Yuan, it's me."
To be honest, Xie Dingyuan really didn't realize who the voice belonged to for a while.
After that first pause, she seemed a little annoyed: "I, Yun Qian."
It dawned on him.
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan came to a coffee shop.
And Xie Yunqian was already waiting here.
