Chapter 73: Chapter 73: I’m Angry Too
Xiao Li was also surprised to see Chen Tingting. What is she doing here?
Is it a coincidence today, or does she come here often?
Uncle never mentioned it!
Hmm...
Looks like it’s time to assert some wifely authority!
Qin Xiao didn’t even glance at Chen Tingting. Upon entering, he called out to Professor Zhou: "Teacher."
Xiao Li also drew back her sidelong glance and called out to Professor Zhou: "Professor Zhou."
Professor Zhou noticed the bandage on Qin Xiao’s hand and Xiao Li’s arm in a sling, prompting him to ask: "What happened here?"
Qin Xiao replied calmly: "There was a car accident yesterday, got a little hurt..."
"Qin Xiao gege, you’re hurt?" Chen Tingting exclaimed upon hearing about the car accident...
Exclaiming was one thing, but she even rushed over wanting to grab Qin Xiao’s hand to check his injury.
Luckily, Qin Xiao was quick to react and dodged her.
Xiao Li watched Chen Tingting’s actions and suddenly felt a bit nauseated...
A normal woman would feel disgusted seeing another woman trying to touch her man right in front of her, right?
Chen Tingting’s hand hung in the air, with a sudden awkward tension filling the room...
But this awkwardness was only felt by Chen Tingting, not the others...
Qin Xiao glanced coldly at Chen Tingting, "
Miss Chen, please show some respect!!!
Also, as I mentioned before, please address me as Mr. Qin.
It seems Miss Chen’s memory isn’t very good; do you need me to recommend a neurologist..."
Xiao Li couldn’t help but snicker upon hearing this...
Chen Tingting’s face turned pale with anger at Qin Xiao’s words.
Ever since her last visit to the lab, she couldn’t find a reason to come back...
Except Qin Xiao, who would only frequent the lab, hospital, and home, avoided other places.
The hospital and home both had that woman, and she didn’t want to go.
The lab was the only place left, but it wasn’t something one could visit casually...
Today she was able to come because of the equipment she donated last time, which arrived today, allowing her access.
She didn’t expect Xiao Li to be here today as well.
Clearly, it was hard for her to enter the lab, yet this woman waltzed right in with Qin Xiao gege.
She lost face in front of Xiao Li because of Qin Xiao gege.
Chen Tingting felt quite displeased, and Xiao Li wasn’t feeling any better either?
Because after she laughed, she realized that Qin Xiao’s earlier words implied Chen Tingting indeed visited before...
Even though she was upset, Xiao Li didn’t show it, instead watching silently as Qin Xiao handled the situation.
Only a woman who knows her man doesn’t care would need to chase away other women...
Chen Tingting took a while to calm down, forcing a smile to speak, but Qin Xiao didn’t give her the chance...
After speaking to Chen Tingting, Qin Xiao turned to Professor Zhou and said: "Teacher, my hand is injured, making it inconvenient to work, so I will not come to the lab for the next few days."
Professor Zhou nodded, "Alright, take care of your injury first."
Qin Xiao nodded in agreement, "Teacher, we’ll be leaving now."
With that, he held Xiao Li and left the room.
In the office, Professor Zhou sighed softly and cautiously spoke due to Chen Tingting’s father’s connection, "Tingting, there are plenty of fish in the sea, why do you insist on being petty?"
Already hurt by Qin Xiao’s attitude, Chen Tingting lashed out upon hearing Professor Zhou’s words: "Uncle Zhou, I’ve never hidden my feelings for Qin Xiao gege...
All these years, other men have come and gone, but I’ve only liked him.
I’ve been devoted to him for so long, what does that woman count for? Why can she take away Qin Xiao gege as soon as she appears?
Qin Xiao gege was originally mine, she took him away, she’s the mistress, she’s the villain...
Uncle Zhou, why are you all siding with her? You, my dad too...
Clearly, I’m not wrong here, I’m the one hurt, but all you do is criticize me, why do you all treat me this way?"
Professor Zhou saw how obsessed she had become and, knowing her fixation was too deep, shook his head and stopped trying to persuade her.
In the car, Xiao Li hadn’t spoken since leaving the lab; Qin Xiao understood, his Nini was jealous.
Seeing Xiao Li deliberately turning her head to look outside and not at him, Qin Xiao found her utterly adorable, chuckled softly, and then gently called out: "Nini..."
Xiao Li heard him but refused to turn back, not really angry, since Qin Xiao’s stance was clear.
She wanted Qin Xiao to know, though, how much she minded Chen Tingting, no... it wasn’t Chen Tingting herself she minded, but women hovering around Qin Xiao...
Seeing that Xiao Li wouldn’t turn, Qin Xiao gently turned her body around...
"Nini... please don’t be mad?
I’m upset too..."
Xiao Li squinted at him, "You’re upset? With women around you, shouldn’t you be happy?"
Qin Xiao shook his head, "Nini, you know my feelings for you, and everyone knows them as well.
Yet those women with the crazy minds keep coming around me...
They upset you, my precious. How can I not be angry when you get upset because of me?
I never want you to feel a bit of distress, yet because of me, you’ve been upset...
I feel a deep sense of powerlessness..."
Xiao Li giggled at his words...
Seeing her smile, Qin Xiao reached out to touch her face, "Nini, let’s not let irrelevant people affect our emotions, such people shouldn’t even be part of our conversation..."
Xiao Li smiled, "How can they not appear?
If I’m not mistaken, this wasn’t her first time at the lab!
She relentlessly inserts herself into our life, how can we treat her as air?"
Qin Xiao laughed, "The last time she came to the lab, because of the company’s ongoing cooperation with the Chen family, I only gave her a mild warning.
After that, she didn’t come back, and I thought she had calmed down.
I didn’t expect her to make trouble again today...
But don’t worry, she won’t appear in our lives anymore."
Xiao Li raised an eyebrow, "Since you say so, let’s drop the matter.
Uncle, I didn’t get enough to eat this morning, and now I’m hungry."
With Qin Xiao having stated his position, Xiao Li was quick to let it go.
Only foolish women would harp on one thing or woman...
Qin Xiao patted her head, "Then let’s go eat. Do you want to go home or eat out?"
Xiao Li laughed, "Let’s eat out! You used to teach here, any favorite spots nearby?"
