Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 9197: Unwavering determination (4)

In the evening, Qiao Chengfan was sitting on the sofa handling official business, and Qiao Muyuan made a video call.

As soon as he picked up the phone, Qiao Muyuan approached the screen and looked at him carefully: "Brother, you are tanned."

"Really? The sun has been stronger recently."

"You have to take good care of yourself, otherwise my sister-in-law will dislike you."

"It seems that my brother-in-law takes good care of himself every day."

"You have never left Ji Changmu. I think you and him are in love with each other, and we love each other to the extreme. Then you two should live your life together. It would be better for me and my sister-in-law to live together."

"..."

Qiao Muyuan joked with him for a long time: "Where is my sister-in-law? Why haven't you seen her? Where are you?"

"She is taking Zheng Bao to take a bath. I will take her back to see you next time. Forget it this time. After all, we have just dated."

"I saw the photos in your WeChat Moments. My sister-in-law is pretty and quiet. She looks very smart. I heard that she and Qiao Zhixing are in the same professor group. Brother, this is the first time you have posted photos of women in your WeChat Moments."

"Of course she is the most beautiful in my eyes. You haven't gone to the company yet?"

"I'm not busy today. I'll go later. Summer is the off-season lately."

"Didn't you go shopping?"

"I prefer playing with little Huaihuai than going shopping. Little Huaihuai has grown up a lot and can talk a lot! When will you come back to see him?"

"I'll go there when I get back to China."

Qiao Muyuan was chatting with Qiao Chengfan. She saw the sofa and the wall behind Qiao Chengfan. There were some very warm paintings hanging on the wall. The apartment didn't look big, but her brother actually enjoyed it.

Qiao Muyuan had long guessed that Qiao Chengfan loved her as his sister-in-law, and whether he loved her or not could be betrayed by just one look.

Besides, her brother is not a tolerant person like Lao Ji. Her brother's character is somewhat more straightforward than Lao Ji.

After chatting for a while, Qiao Muyuan did not disturb Qiao Chengfan too much and hung up the video.

Qiao Chengfan went to the children's room to help Zheng Bao tidy up the small room and made him a glass of milk.

Zheng Bao quickly finished his bath. He ran in front of him in his newly bought cartoon pajamas. Xiao seemed to be chasing him behind with a dry towel: "Zheng Bao! Don't run away! Mommy will help you wipe your hair!"

"Zheng Bao needs to go to sleep!"

"Dry your hair before going to sleep!"

"Zhengbao wants to sleep with his parents tonight!"

Qiao Chengfan caught him immediately, took the dry towel from Xiao Sisi's hand, rubbed it vigorously a few times, and dried his hair.

"Sleep alone!" Qiao Chengfan warned him, "If you don't obey, you won't get a hamburger!"

"..." Zheng Bao thought for a while, but he still wanted to eat hamburgers.

Eventually, Zheng Bao gave in to the hamburger and went to sleep in his room.

Xiao Sisi took a shower first. She sat on the bed and opened her tablet to process some lab reports.

Qiao Zhixing frequently sent her some pathology reports during this period, regarding the pathology of some patients in the hospital who had suffered damage to their nervous systems and lost their memory. These patients were eager to restore their memories.

Qiao Zhixing selected some patients whose conditions were most similar to his brother's and planned to let them try the newly developed drugs first.

Xiao Si seemed to understand what Qiao Zhixing meant. He wanted her to continue the research and development of that drug, and if possible, seize some time.

Xiao looked at the report with rapt attention, analyzing each number carefully. Just as she was looking at it, a hand suddenly took away her tablet, and then she frowned.

"It's Qiao Zhixing again." Qiao Chengfan, wearing pajamas, stood beside the bed and turned off her tablet indifferently.

"Hey, I'm looking at something very important."

"Isn't it just those things Qiao Zhixing gave you."

"It doesn't count... If possible, I would like to pick up that research and development myself. It is very close to success."

"Speaking of this." Qiao Chengfan suddenly came over and put his hands on her sides, "You haven't explained to me yet why you insisted on letting me take those medicines even though you knew the side effects? You even increased the dosage. ?Um?"

Xiao Sisi knew that one day he would raise an army to hold him accountable.

She didn't respond to him before because she didn't want to interact with him anymore and was afraid that he would take away Zhengbao.

But now, it seems I have to respond.

"Want to hear...the truth?"

"Of course, I can't hear a lie."

"The truth is, I hope you can recover your memory and return to the Qiao family. The Qiao family is very important to you, and your family also hopes that you have not forgotten them. But I don't want to interact with you anymore, and I don't want Zheng Bao to leave me. , so I want to use medicine to blur your memories of Xuanzhou."

"If I continue to take those drugs, I will completely forget everything about Xuanzhou, right?"

"Yes."

"So I said, you are really cruel."

Qiao Chengfan was a little angry. Thinking of this, he was still furious.

Xiao Sisi had no choice but to coax him: "You have to listen to the truth... But for me, that is the best choice. I know that your identity and mine are different. I have always known your identity."

Qiao Chengfan was silent for a long time.

He somewhat understood why Xiao Sisi chose to do that.

She was well aware of the Qiao family's background. When she met him in Xuanzhou, she had no desire to follow him, and she was also restraining her feelings. That's why she never showed her feelings to him.

If the Qiao family were replaced by other wealthy families, her worries would not be unnecessary, but the Qiao family is not.

"Sisi, I understand." Qiao Chengfan hugged her again and kissed her forehead, "Afraid of no results, afraid that the Qiao family won't accept you, afraid of no future, and afraid of losing the political treasure, right? But Don't worry, none of this will exist. The Qiao family has known about your existence for a long time. You even went to see my father in person. My father is such a smart man. He has long seen my feelings for you. If you were dissatisfied at all, he would not let you stay in front of me. But he did not do that. He allowed me to go abroad and never interfered with my personal life."

"As for my mother, there's no need to worry. Although she hasn't met you yet, between you and me, her heart has long been on your side."

At this moment, it was Qiao Chengfan who was comforting her.

He kissed her on the face: "Sisi, be obedient, just don't talk to Qiao Zhixing."

Xiao Xisi smiled: "No, the main reason is that the drug is actually very close to success. If it is successful, it can save many patients."

"Okay, if you want to do it, just do it. I won't stop you. But you can't just go all in. You give me a lot of time and thought."

"Then I will go to Dr. Qiao's laboratory starting tomorrow. His laboratory is very good, and many of its advanced equipment are unique in the country."

"It's not a gift from my dad." Qiao Chengfan dismissed it, "If you like it, those are yours."

"No, look at you, you're bullying Dr. Qiao again."
