Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Jingchuan turned around in surprise, "Wife, why are you here too?"

"Yes, if I hadn't come here, how would I have found you climbing the Great Wall? It seems that your research institute is not very busy." Ji Xiaoxi said with a smile.

Knowing that she had misunderstood, Lu Jingchuan quickly walked up to her and said, "Wife, you misunderstood. This is a researcher from our institute and someone I knew before.

I'm not the only one here today. Everyone in my group is here. The leader said that I've been in Beijing for so many days, so in order to hold a welcome party for me, we should all climb the Great Wall together, and then have a dinner together in the evening. We can invite our family members at that time. I plan to come to see you after climbing the Great Wall."

"Oh, you are an old acquaintance of yours. Why didn't you tell me before that you stayed in the capital for a while?"

"Hello, you must be Jingchuan's wife, right? My name is Fang Qi, and I'm in the same R&D team with Jingchuan. You really misunderstood this matter." Fang Qi pointed at a few people in the crowd and said, "Those people over there are members of our research institute. If you don't believe me, I can call them over."

"No, I trust him." He just doesn't trust you a little.

Ji Xiaoxi did not say the second half of the sentence.

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Lu Jingchuan happily said to Ji Xiaoxi, "Wife, if I had known that you wanted to climb the Great Wall, I should have brought you here on the first day.

Tired?

When we go down, I'll carry you on my back."

"What are you carrying?" Ji Xiaoxi hit him a little embarrassedly, "I can go down by myself. It's hard to come up, it will be much easier to go down."

"Okay, whatever you want, if you get tired just call me, I can carry you anytime."

Fang Qi watched silently from the side, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

His attitude towards Ji Xiaoxi was completely different from his attitude towards himself at the beginning.

When chatting with me, there was a distance of 1 meter between us, and our speech was so flat and without any tone. Some questions were even answered with just "um".

But as soon as he saw Ji Xiaoxi, the expression on his face became much richer. Joy, pampering, and obedience, expressions that had never appeared on his face before, all appeared.

Fang Qi's nails dug into her flesh without her noticing, and she was jealous to the point of going crazy.

Many years ago, she fell in love with Lu Jingchuan. They met during a rescue operation. Lu Jingchuan was the team leader of that special operation, and she was the researcher who protected the research results during the operation.

The young heart was beating fast because of a man at that time.

Unfortunately, he left the capital not long after.

She didn't expect to meet him again this time. She was so happy that she wanted to go out and scream.

For this research, she specifically applied to be in a group with him. Although Lu Jingchuan still remembered her, he only remembered her as a person and didn't mention anything else.

She tried to approach him and talk to him several times, but was rejected by him.

The only place I could talk to him was in the lab.

Climbing the Great Wall was their only chance to be alone. Just when he was about to reminisce about the past with him, he was interrupted by his wife who suddenly showed up.

When did he get married?

How could that woman deserve his favor?

Su Wan and Su Xiu looked at each other, trying not to smile. It seemed that they had indeed misunderstood Captain Lu. How could he have any relationship with other women if he treated them so differently?

"Hello, Captain Lu. We are Xiaoxi's friends." Su Xiu pointed at herself, "I'm from Baiyun Village. You should still remember me."

"Zhang Xiu?" Lu Jingchuan asked.

"Yes, but I have changed my name to Su Xiu now." Su Xiu said.

"Hello, Captain Lu, we met on the train." Su Wan said.

"Hello, my wife is going to trouble you these few days. I will visit you with gifts next time." Lu Jingchuan said.

"Oh, don't be so polite. Xiaoxi and we are good friends. There's no need to be so polite." Su Wan and Su Xiu waved their hands at the same time.

"No need to be so grand, it makes them feel embarrassed." Ji Xiaoxi said with a smile: "When you are free, just invite them to have a meal together."

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Lu Jingchuan held Ji Xiaoxi's hand, looked at Fang Qi standing next to him and said, "Sorry, I have to go accompany my wife and the others. Please tell Brother Xu that I won't be attending the dinner tonight. Enjoy your meal."

"The dinner party is held to welcome you." Fang Qi was a little anxious, "How can I not go? Everyone will be disappointed. Doesn't your wife have friends with her?

They can play together.”

"Xiaoxi, why don't you accompany Captain Lu to dinner tonight? Su Xiu and I can go home to eat. We are tired after climbing the Great Wall for an entire afternoon." Su Wan said.

"Yes, Captain Lu is the protagonist, and it would not be good if he didn't go. Can't he bring his family members? It just so happens that Captain Lu can bring your beautiful family members over to introduce them to everyone, and also let other people see that Captain Lu has a partner. Hahaha." Su Xiu deliberately said it in a joking tone.

"How about I accompany you to the dinner party tonight?" Ji Xiaoxi asked Lu Jingchuan.

"Of course, let's finish our meal early and leave early. I'll take you around the capital in the evening." Lu Jingchuan said.

"Of course family members are welcome." Fang Qi said at the side, "Why don't you come with us? It's almost time now, we can go down."

"Okay, let's go now."

Su Wan and Su Xiu surrounded Lu Jingchuan and Ji Xiaoxi in the middle, and Fang Qi could only walk behind alone.

These two women who suddenly appeared are so annoying. I have to be on guard against them like I am guarding against thieves.

Although she liked Lu Jingchuan, she didn't want to lose face in front of Ji Xiaoxi, so she kept her composure and didn't get close to Lu Jingchuan.

She chatted with other researchers behind him and got a one-sided understanding of Lu Jingchuan's marital status. Lu Jingchuan didn't talk to her, but was chatting happily with other researchers.

She even mentioned her marriage a few years ago. That woman was indeed from the countryside. No wonder she disliked her so much.

It turned out that it was the rural vibe about her that made her uncomfortable!

She did this purely to comfort herself.

Ji Xiaoxi was wearing the most popular corseted long skirt. Her small waist, which was bound by the belt, could be held in one hand. The curve of her waist and hips was eye-catching, not to mention her incredibly beautiful and fair face.

Her hairstyle was different from other people's pigtails and high ponytails. Instead, she had long curly hair that was loose and only fixed at the back with a light yellow bow hairpin in the same color as her skirt. For convenience, she changed into a pair of soft leather flat white shoes.

She was youthful and beautiful, and seemed to be emitting fragrance. Even the two young girls beside her were beautiful and wealthy.

There is not the slightest bit of rural atmosphere about her. When others see her, they would just think she is someone's eldest daughter.

Only Fang Qi thought darkly that Ji Xiaoxi was a countryman with no money, no education and no ability. Only by thinking this way could she find a little balance in her heart.
