Chapter 149: Chapter 142: Zhan Nanging Insists on Entering the Research Institute
Huh?
Who?
This voice definitely wasn’t her brother's.
Had Qiao Jing brought another man home?
Just as Zhan Nanging was pondering this, the door opened from the inside.
“Gan Lanlan?!” Zhan Nanging exclaimed in surprise.
She knew Qiao Jing and Gan Lanlan knew each other but had not expected Qiao Jing to bring Gan Lanlan home.
Seeing Gan Lanlan’s puppy-like demeanor, Zhan Nanging’s imagination began to run wild.
Could it be that the real reason Qiao Jing didn’t like her brother was that she preferred the puppy-dog type?
“Where's Qiao Jing?” Zhan Nanging peeked inside as she asked.
“Miss Qiao’s clothes got wet because of me, so she’s gone to her room to change,” replied Gan Lanlan.
This statement shocked Zhan Nanging.
“You, you, you say that again? You got—got, Qiao Jing’s clothes wet? What were, what were you doing just now?”
Oh my god!
Had she heard that right?
Even though Qiao Jing was in a contract marriage with her brother, they were still legally married.
Qiao Jing was actually doing such things while married!
And, no matter what, to bring someone home!
Wasn't that just too much?
She dared not imagine what would happen if her brother found out.
“What are you thinking about, spouting nonsense?” Gan Lanlan’s shout snapped Zhan Nanging back to reality.
That was him; he couldn't tolerate anyone insulting Qiao Jing.
Not even in his thoughts.
His idol, Professor Qiao, was so outstanding and deserved the world’s reverence!
“Who's spouting nonsense? Just now you yourself said that Qiao Jing got wet because of you and is changing
clothes inside. Isn't it obvious what you two were doing?”
“You, you, you—dare to insult my idol again and see what happens!” Gan Lanlan rolled up his sleeves, ready to
fight with Zhan Nanging.
Normally, Gan Lanlan was a civilized cultural intellectual, maintaining the demeanor of a scholar under most
circumstances.
It was just that when it cto Qiao Jing, he couldn’t control himself.
“Your idol?”

Zhan Nanging paused, puzzled.
Qiao Jing wasn’t a celebrity or an entertainer, so how had she becGan Lanlan’s idol?
Could it be because of Qiao Jing’s medical skills?
That seemed unlikely.
Gan Lanlan studied agricultural field expertise in college; if he were to admire anyone, it would be a super
agricultural mogul like Professor Qiao. How could he have idolized Qiao Jing, whose expertise was in medicine?
“That's right, Miss Qiao is my idol! Just now, Miss Qiao poureda glass of water. Can you believe it, my idol
personally pouring water for me? How could | not be excited? | was so thrilled that | accidentally failed to catch it
and spilled the water all over Miss Qiao.”
Hearing Gan Lanlan’s explanation, Zhan Nanging’s face turned slightly red.
Alright, she had misunderstood.
At that moment, Qiao Jing cout of the room after changing clothes.
“Is the report finished?” Qiao Jing asked, looking at the report in Zhan Nanging’s hands.
“Yeah, | did it casually. This level of a report is child's play for me,” said Zhan Nanging with her chin held high,
arrogantly.
Qiao Jing’s gaze fell on Zhan Nanging’s dark circles, and she arched an eyebrow subtly, not exposing the lie.
Qiao Jing took the report from Zhan Nanging’s hands, looked at it, and sat down on the couch.
“Thump—Thump thump—" Zhan Nanging’s nervous heart was racing nonstop.
Although she had acted nonchalant just now, she actually cared quite a bit.
Zhan Nanging unconsciously moved closer to Qiao Jing’s side, as tense as a student waiting in the office for the
teacher to grade their homework.
Strange!
Why would she think that way?
After all, Qiao Jing wasn’t really her teacher, so why was she so nervous?
Even when she was in school, she had never been this nervous in front of her teachers.
“Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous...”
She had done her utmost to write this report, and she was very confident in her abilities.
As long as it was something she wanted to do, she could generally accomplish it with effort.
Looking back, it seemed her life never involved particularly strenuous effort.
That couldn't entirely be blamed on her, mainly because she was born into a very good situation—it was
unnecessary to strive, she could achieve things by lying flat.
Zhan Nanging kept comforting herself, yet as she watched Qiao Jing’s face, one of utter seriousness and evident
professionalism, she couldn't help but continue to feel tense.
“Whoosh—" with a sound, Qiao Jing turned the page and continued reading.
Hiss—
Zhan Nanging took a deep breath, suppressing her inner tension, and stood beside Qiao Jing.
Five minutes later, Qiao Jing’s attention shifted away from the report, and she turned her head to look at Zhan
Nanging.
At that moment, Zhan Nanging was on the brink of having the words “nervous” clearly written on her face.
Zhan Nanging fixed her eyes on Qiao Jing’s mouth, waiting for her forthcoming words.
“It’s okay, not too bad,” Qiao Jing objectively commented.
“What? Not too bad? Are your standards too high, or are you pretending to understand when you don’t?”
Despite her nervousness, Zhan Nanging had the pride of the Zhan Family in her bones; she was very confident in
what she had written.
She felt that what she had written was quite good.
Zhan Nanging’s words displeased Gan Lanlan.
“She doesn’t understand? In this field, if she doesn’t understand, then nobody does!”
What does that mean?
Hearing Gan Lanlan say this, Zhan Nanging was a bit confused.
Gan Lanlan’s words were not yet
finished, “You should be content! If
she says you're ngtyoo pad, fats
afreayalvery high evaluation. Many
people with significant achievements
do not have the privilege of receiving
her comments.” The content is on

Gan Lanlan’s admiration grew as she spoke.
Because Qiao Jing had reviewed it so earnestly, and as a peak figure in the agricultural field, to calmly review a
layman like Zhan Nanging’s report without any pretense, reflected her down-to-earth nature.
What's that called?
Doing the most impressive things with the least showiness.
Admiration!
She admired her so profoundly that she was practically bowing down in reverence!
The more Zhan Nanging listened to Gan Lanlan, the more bewildered she became. Looking at Gan Lanlan now,
those sparkling eyes gazing at Qiao Jing, it was as if she was watching a deity.

What in the world?
Why was Gan Lanlan so adoring of Qiao Jing? And the way he spoke earlier was very strange, too.
All these questions, she hoped to understand them all once she entered the research institute.
“Hey! I've completed the report, and you said it’s not too bad, so can | enter the research institute now?” Zhan
Nanging asked Qiao Jing.
“Do you really want to enter?” Qiao Jing asked seriously, looking at Zhan Nanging.
“Of course | do! Otherwise, why would
| have put so much effort into this the
last few days? rey om

reneging?” Zhan Nanging indicated
that if Qiao Jing went back on her
word, she would definitely have it out

Because if Qiao Jing reneged, it would mean that Zhan Nanging had been played for a fool by her, having wasted
so much tand thought on the report for nothing.
Who wouldn't be infuriated by such a thing?
“Let's get one thing straight in

The purpose of Qiao Jing saying this was to make Zhan Nanging give up on her own, because if Zhan Nanging
really entered the research institute, it would mean that her identity would be exposed.
