Jin Xiangdong couldn’t be bothered to explain because he had been teasing her just now. However, he didn’t expect to be seen by the nanny, so he asked, “How long is she going to be unconscious for?”

Lu Jia’er looked at the nanny. “It was set to half an hour! Before your father comes back, let’s quickly look for clues!”

As for Jin Xiangdong, he stood there motionless. Lu Jia’er looked up at him and said anxiously, “Time is of the essence. Your father and assistant will probably be frightened when they see us like this!”

Jin Xiangdong said, “We’ll stay here tonight!”

Lu Jia’er was taken aback. “Stay here? No, I don’t want to bring danger to your father!”

Su Han had been kidnapped and Ian had disappeared for no reason. Jin Xiangdong and Jason had been tracked because of her. She did not want Academician Jin Shengping to be implicated as well.

Jin Xiangdong continued, “Ian left my family’s coordinates behind. Perhaps he wanted us to seek my father’s help.”

Lu Jia’er’s gaze landed on Jin Xiangdong’s face. “Does your father know that I’m an AI?”

Lu Jia’er’s tone sounded casual, but his eyes were filled with apprehension.

Although it wasn’t obvious, Jin Xiangdong still managed to catch it. “Tell him yourself when he gets home.”

Lu Jia’er’s eyes dimmed slightly, but she did not blame Jin Xiangdong. After all, not everyone could accept her status. Hence, she asked, “What if your father can’t accept it?”

Usually, when normal couples meet their parents, there were two outcomes: either success or failure. And her situation was more complicated, and the chances of failure were 100%.

Jin Xiangdong retorted, “Maybe he’ll accept it!”

Lu Jia’er smiled when she heard that. “Not everyone is like you!”

“The results are out.” Jin Xiangdong then reached out to grab Lu Jia’er’s hand.

Lu Jia’er’s heart warmed and she said to him, “If you fail, you can forget about breaking up with me!”

Jin Xiangdong rubbed the back of her hand gently and smiled. “So you like me that much!”

Lu Jia’er did not deny Jin Xiangdong’s interpretation. “Yes, that’s how much I like you! I fell in love with you at first sight, my heart was yours at second sight, and I’m now yours for the rest of my life due to the third sight!”

Upon hearing her words, Jin Xiangdong’s lips curled into a smile. “I only hope that you share the same feeling as me, and that you will not disappoint my longing.”

…

Night fell and the stars quietly popped their heads out above the lanterns. They blinked at the ground.

In the dining room of Jin Shengping’s house, there was a sudden change in the usual cold atmosphere.

During the evening, Jin Shengping returned from the research institute and was surprised to see Jin Xiangdong the moment he entered. He was even more surprised that he didn’t come back alone this time and even brought his girlfriend along.

Jin Shengping had seen Lu Jia’er before and had a good impression of her. Hence, he was very happy to see her. He, who rarely drank alcohol, had a few drinks with them.

Seeing such treatment, Jin Xiangdong immediately felt indignant. “Differential treatment!”

Jin Shengping smiled calmly and said, “Be content. If it weren’t because of Jia’er, I wouldn’t have been willing to give you my good wine.”

Jin Xiangdong sighed and said, “Jia’er, you’re the best. My father would forget to ask me about my meals when I come back, much less talk about drinking.”

Lu Jiayan smiled and said, “Academician Jin, do you feel that he’s indirectly acting cute?”

Jin Shengping smiled and nodded. “Yes, but it’s useless!”
