Fu Mingxue, of course, knew nothing of this.
Right now, she didn’t even have time to call home.
Originally, she had been shuttling between home and the research institute, but she was working overtime quite late.
She felt bad always making Xiao Zhao stay late just to drive her home.
As it happened, there was a vacant dormitory at the institute, so she simply moved in.
Another half-month passed.
The issues at the research institute were finally resolved.
Old Ji was very pleased.
"Little Fu, are you leaving tomorrow?"
Fu Mingxue nodded. "Yes, I should be leaving tomorrow, but I need to check on train tickets first."
"You don’t need to buy the train tickets yourself," Old Ji said immediately. "I’ll have Xiao Zhao get them, and he can deliver them to your house. Oh, and since your husband has already left, it’s not safe for you to travel back alone. I’ll have Xiao Zhao escort you."
Fu Mingxue was taken aback by his words.
’Do I really look that helpless?’
"Elder Ji, there’s really no need. I’ll be fine on my own. It would be too much trouble to have Xiao Zhao escort me all the way there and then have to come back. It’s really not necessary."
"How about this: just have Xiao Zhao book a sleeper ticket for me. Sleeper cars are quite safe. Besides, I’ve been strong since I was a child. I could take down two or three men, no problem."
Her words made Old Ji chuckle.
Seeing that she was adamant about not wanting an escort, he had no choice but to concede. "In that case, you must be careful."
"I will."
"Also, once you get back, start working on your project as soon as you can. It’s very important. If you run into any problems with the design, feel free to call anytime."
Fu Mingxue nodded. "I know."
"Alright then, I’ll have Xiao Zhao take you home now."
After saying goodbye to him, Fu Mingxue left the research institute.
As Xiao Zhao drove her home, he spoke up just as they neared her gate, "Group Leader Fu, there seems to be someone at your gate."
Fu Mingxue looked over when she heard him.
’That person... is that Song Zhaodi?’
’What is she doing here?’
