Chapter 554: Heroism

After a night of intense battle, there were two more charges in the early morning.

"The Queen Bee... ah no, Jin Lu! Jin Lu really couldn't take it anymore." She hadn't expected Zheng Qian to be so powerful now. It was simply a qualitative change. While she was certainly happy that her man was so capable, but... sometimes being too capable could also feel like a... Well, it was also a kind of pleasure!

[Ding-dong—]

Zheng Qian was naturally dressed casually at home, wearing only a pair of large shorts. He held Jin Lu tenderly as she made breakfast; she was indeed a bit unsteady on her feet, but she didn't trust Zheng Qian with the ingredients. Of course, it was also for the sake of a breakfast made with love, so she still wanted to do it herself.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Zheng Qian frowned.

Who was so tactless, daring to disturb their sweet time together? Just as he was contemplating cursing into the video doorbell, he discovered... Wei Rusi was actually standing at the door.

Hmm? This door... should he open it, or not?

"Is that Sisi? I specifically called her, open the door quickly," Jin Lu called out from the kitchen.

"Oh... oh..." Zheng Qian still felt somewhat guilty. Although he had mentally prepared himself for Jin Lu to find out, whenever he thought about his wild antics with Wei Rusi, he couldn't help but blush.

"Yo, looks like Jin Lu had a great release yesterday, huh?" As soon as Wei Rusi entered, she slapped Zheng Qian on the back, her eyes full of mischievous smiles.

"Is it that obvious?" Zheng Qian awkwardly lit a cigarette.

"Yeah, you should look in the mirror... Never mind, you definitely can't see your back. I'll take a picture and show you."

Wei Rusi took a photo with her phone, then waved it in front of Zheng Qian, tutting in amazement, "Jin Lu really didn't hold back! Look at this, what has your back been clawed into... aren't you in pain?"

Zheng Qian shook his head very honestly.

"I was too busy enjoying myself, I didn't consider anything else."

Hearing this, Wei Rusi helplessly held her head, patting his shoulder in understanding.

"Yo, making such a sumptuous feast early in the morning? Lu Lu, you're amazing!" Wei Rusi dashed into the kitchen and, looking at Jin Lu's sliced bread, fried eggs, and ham, said sycophantically.

Jin Lu couldn't help but roll her eyes wildly. Could you be any faker?

"Let me help you serve the dishes!" Taking advantage of the time Wei Rusi went to the bathroom, driven by guilt, Zheng Qian hurriedly started helping out, attempting to cover up the faint awkwardness in the air by doing such things.

"Hubby, you don't have to be like this, you... listen to me." Jin Lu grabbed Zheng Qian's hand, her expression as clear as ever, "I know... about you and Wei Rusi; she told me everything, and even... other things too. No woman wants to share love with others, and I am the same. But, it has already happened, hasn't it? If you cannot handle it properly, I would instead think you are an irresponsible person."

"I was the one who called Sisi; letting her come... do you still not understand what I mean?"

Looking into her incredibly gentle eyes, at this moment, Zheng Qian wanted to cry. While listening to Jin Lu, he kept observing the Favorability above her head.

101 points, it consistently remained at 101 points.

There was no wavering!

No, more accurately, if we follow what Jin Lu meant... she had even heard about everything from Wei Rusi before the meeting started yesterday. But even so, because of her love for him, her Favorability had exceeded 100!

This... this was truly incredible. Zheng Qian had even prepared himself for Jin Lu to lower her Favorability due to disappointment, or even for him to lose the Mysterious Shop, but it didn't happen! Jin Lu's love for him surpassed the system's limitations; this was her stance.

Thinking of this, he could only hold Jin Lu deeply in his arms.

There was nothing to say; it was all in his heart.

In this instant, Zheng Qian thought of Romain Rolland's famous quote—[There is only one heroism in the world: to see the world as it is and to love it anyway].

Very fitting, isn't it?

Zheng Qian ate this breakfast with absolute peace of mind. He had originally been pondering how to resolve these matters, but he didn't expect it to end so easily. Presumably... the reason Jin Lu didn't want to see him a while ago was because of this.

The amount of information was too large; he would have to sort it out eventually.

Perhaps before, Jin Lu only knew that Zheng Qian was philandering outside, but she hadn't expected him to be involved with so many women. In short, although Zheng Qian didn't know how she came to terms with it, the fact that she could make this choice in the end was the best possible outcome.

"Be careful on the road, Sisi, keep an eye on him." Jin Lu straightened Zheng Qian's collar, looking at the tall, upright man before her with satisfaction.

Wei Rusi nodded obediently; she didn't dare to be too brazen in front of Jin Lu, at least not daring to hold Zheng Qian and be all lovey-dovey, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you keep a good eye on him! Hmph, this scumbag, what a disgrace! We're leaving!"

After Zheng Qian offered a hot kiss, he reluctantly got into the car.

As soon as they sat down, Wei Rusi breathed a sigh of relief.

Patting her chest cutely, she said with a grin, "That's great, I originally thought Jin Lu was going to explode in anger, but I didn't expect that with my, this young lady's, confession, it's all been resolved! Qianqian-zi, don't you want to thank me?"

"Hmph, from now on, you can smash openly!"

Zheng Qian's hand habitually rested on Wei Rusi's leg, feeling the ultimate tactile feedback from the ultra-thin material, "Listen to me, thank you, Sisi-zi. This morning I was afraid Jin Lu couldn't handle it, so I only used thirty percent of my power; let's continue in a bit."

Wei Rusi's face flushed instantly.

She hugged Zheng Qian's arm, begging, "Don't do it! There are things to do today, didn't you urgently recall Professor Ji Muxi? She rushed back from the Huaxia Mobile laboratory in Shenzhen and is waiting for you at the research institute! You... if you do this... it'll probably take a few hours, I don't mind... but she can't wait!"

As she spoke, Wei Rusi suddenly thought of something.

A mischievous smile appeared on her face again, and she whispered into Zheng Qian's ear:

"I think Professor Ji Muxi is actually quite pretty, and she has always been striving on the path of an academic ace; it seems she has never dated, she must be a pure maiden. The important thing is... she's really quite well-endowed!"

"Instead of 'Professor Ji Muxi', it's more like 'Anmushi'; why don't you take her in, how about it?"

As soon as Zheng Qian saw her expression, he knew what Wei Rusi was thinking.

So he gave her a hard spanking.

Sternly, he said, "If you dare to knock Professor Ji Muxi down and delay the research and development of the Semiconductor Chip, I won't let you off! But... hmm... it does seem quite large, it's just hard to tell through the lab coat."

"Hee hee, I know girls best, do you want to..."
