Jin Beichen's lips twitched uncontrollably.

What to pretend!

For him, a man who runs a vast business empire, spending time with his wife is the most important thing in his life.

Shen Suihuan ignored Jin Beichen's heartbreak at Jiang Zhou's words and went straight to the bedside to begin examining Feng Shinian.

A few minutes later, Shen Suihuan withdrew her hand and spoke calmly.

"Recovering well."

She looked at Feng Shinian and said, "You can be discharged in three days. Just go home and rest well."

"Really? That's great!"

A surprised smile instantly bloomed on Si Yuqing's face.

She held Lin Wanyi's hand and said excitedly, "Go home and rest well! I can take good care of Shinian at home, and Wanyi, you won't have to be so tired in the hospital every day!"

Lin Wanyi's cheeks flushed red instantly.

She lowered her head shyly and responded softly.

Feng Shinian, lying in his hospital bed, watched this heartwarming scene and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

-

three days later.

Feng Shinian was discharged from the hospital smoothly.

Except for Old Master Si, the entire Si family came, and the group took him home in a grand procession.

The Si family's new home in Kyoto is a detached villa overlooking a lake.

As soon as the group entered, Si Yuqing got busy.

She directed the servants to tidy up Feng Shinian's room and personally made up the soft sheets, taking care of every detail herself.

"Shi Nian, you should lie down and rest first."

"Wanyi, come and sit down too, don't stand."

Si Yuqing took Lin Wanyi's hand, pressed her down on the sofa, and then turned to the kitchen to bring out the fruits and snacks that had been prepared in advance.

"Come on, everyone, have something to eat."

She spun like a tireless top, shuttling back and forth between the living room and bedroom, her face beaming with a satisfied and happy smile.

Looking at the busy Si Yuqing and the happy Si family on the sofa, Shen Suihuan felt that the corner in her heart that had been missing for more than 20 years was slowly being filled.

She glanced at the time.

"I should go to the company," Shen Suihuan said, breaking the lively atmosphere.

Si Yuqing immediately stopped what she was doing, walked quickly to her, and looked at her with a hint of reluctance.

"Leaving so soon? Won't you stay a little longer?"

"There's still something going on with Xinghuo."

"A-Zhou is all better now, so don't push yourself so hard. Take care of yourself."

Si Yuqing couldn't help but ramble on for a bit before realizing she was being too long-winded. She then carefully added, "Well... when you have time, remember to come home for dinner."

Her voice was full of anticipation.

Shen Suihuan nodded. "Okay."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Si Yuqing's face immediately broke into a bright smile.

Jiang Zhou had been quietly staying by Shen Suihuan's side. At this moment, he put his arm around her waist and gently bid farewell to Si Yuqing and the others.

"Mom, brother, we're leaving now."

Si Qingyu escorted them to the door.

Si Yuqing remained standing there for a long time, until the rear of the Rolls-Royce disappeared from sight.

The car came to a stop in front of the Xinghuo Technology building.

Jiang Zhou leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Don't overwork yourself, I'll pick you up tonight."

"Okay." Shen Suihuan responded and got out of the car.

Jiang Zhou watched her walk into the building until she was out of sight before instructing the driver to head to the Jiang Group.

……

Night falls.

Jiang Zhou returned home at nine o'clock in the evening.

As he took off his suit jacket, he asked, "Where is Madam?"

"Madam hasn't returned yet."

Jiang Zhou paused in handing over the coat, then withdrew his hand, turned around, and went out the door again.

As he walked, he dialed Shen Suihuan's number.

The call connected, but it rang for a long time without being answered.

until it hangs up automatically.

Jiang Zhou's brows furrowed slightly.

He dialed again.

Still the same result.

He stopped and dialed Zhou Bai's number directly.

"President Jiang." Zhou Bai's voice came quickly.

"Where's Suisui?"

"President Shen... is in the laboratory."

"Still there?"

"Yes, President Shen has been in the lab since this afternoon and hasn't come out. He didn't even have dinner." Zhou Bai's voice carried a hint of worry.

Jiang Zhou's dark eyes narrowed. "I understand."

He hung up the phone and strode towards the elevator.

Spark Technology.

The office building was brightly lit at night, but the private experimental area on the top floor was so quiet that only the hum of the instruments could be heard.

"drop--"

The private elevator doors opened immediately.

Jiang Zhou strode out, his face expressionless. He was still wearing the same well-tailored handmade suit he had worn during the day, but now, his handsome face was covered with a visible layer of frost.

As soon as Zhou Bai, who was waiting at the end of the corridor, saw him, he immediately came to greet him, his face full of anxiety.

"Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Zhou didn't stop walking; his gaze passed over him and went to the alloy door that required multiple levels of authorization to open.

"Where is she?" His voice was low, carrying a hint of barely perceptible anger.

Zhou Bai quickly followed, reporting rapidly as he walked: "President Shen entered the core laboratory at three o'clock this afternoon and hasn't come out yet. We can't contact him either. I... I don't dare to go in and disturb him."

The core laboratory was Shen Suihuan's absolute domain.

No one can get in without her permission.

Jiang Zhou's expression darkened further.

He walked up to the heavy alloy door and, without a moment's hesitation, placed his palm directly on the identifier.

"Beep—Permission granted. Welcome, Mr. Jiang."

The heavy alloy door slid open slowly to both sides with a dull thud.

Jiang Zhou strode inside.

-

Inside the laboratory, everything was pure white.

Shen Suihuan, dressed in a white sterile protective suit and wearing goggles, was staring intently at the huge three-dimensional structure diagram floating in front of her.

Her fingers danced rapidly across the virtual interface, countless complex data streams flashing past her eyes.

She is working on a crucial iterative upgrade of the nanorobots.

The shielding device on Jin Beichen's body gave her a new idea.

She wants to create a new type of nanorobot with a quantum entanglement communication mode that cannot be interfered with by any electromagnetic signal.

She was completely absorbed in her own world, oblivious to everything around her.

until……

"Snapped."

A soft sound.

All the virtual screens in front of her, including the huge 3D structural diagram, went dark instantly.

The entire laboratory's auxiliary systems were forcibly shut down.

Shen Suihuan's movements suddenly froze.

Who?

Alarm bells rang in her mind, and her body instantly entered battle mode!

She turned around suddenly.

However, what came into view was a handsome face that she knew all too well, but which was now so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

Jiang Zhou stood next to the main control panel, one hand still resting on the emergency power-off switch.

He didn't speak, but simply looked at her quietly with his unfathomable dark eyes.

The anger in Shen Suihuan's heart was extinguished instantly.

Instead, a strange sense of guilt arose.

She took off her goggles, rubbed her slightly sore eyes, and her voice unconsciously softened a bit.

"You...why are you here?"
