Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 91. Legal Cohabitation, Licensed Employment

Ji Yanci's hand suddenly tightened, his knuckles turned white, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged, as if he wanted to crush the phone.

Xiao Mo, standing to the side, was so intimidated by this imposing aura that she unconsciously retreated.

She felt uneasy.

They don't look like they're here to cooperate; they look like they're here to cause trouble.

I hope I didn't do something wrong with good intentions.
The man raised his voice, his narrow, captivating eyes now clouded with gloom, and the aura emanating from him was chilling.

"I'll say it one last time."

"Let Jiang Jixu answer the phone."

Faced with Ji Yanci's threatening words, Lu Lishen simply raised his eyes casually and shut him down with three light words.

"impossible."

"Snapped--"

The string of reason in his mind snapped completely, and Ji Yanci gritted his teeth and said, "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to answer for her?"

Lu Lishen looked at the girl not far away. She seemed to be fighting with Jiang Wang for the last piece of fried dumpling. After successfully getting the piece with a feint, she smiled with her eyes crinkling, which made him unable to help but raise the corners of his lips slightly as well. The coldness around him dissipated a lot.

"Legal cohabitation, licensed to work."

"Does Mr. Ji think this is sufficient?"

Ji Yanci felt a metallic taste rise in his throat: "You—"

Lu Lishen lazily lowered his eyelids: "Mr. Ji, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. My wife is waiting for me to have dinner."

The word "Madam" seemed to drain the last of Ji Yanci's strength, causing him to sway slightly and almost stumble.

Xiao Mo was startled and quickly stepped forward: "Are you alright?"

He braced his pale hands against the wall to straighten himself up, and when he looked up, the girl's eyelids twitched at the sight of his bloodshot eyes.

She swallowed hard. "Mr. Ji, you..."

Ji Yanci ignored her and put the phone back to his ear, only to hear a busy tone. He then realized that the other party had already hung up.
-
Lu Lishen hung up the phone and strode off with his long legs.

He was wearing a shirt and trousers today, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, an incredible proportion. His sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing his firm wrists, giving off an air of asceticism.

Seeing him return, Jiang Jixu pushed the bowl in her hand toward him like a treasure, her round almond eyes sparkling as if stars were fluttering in the air.

"The last fried dumpling," she said. "I managed to grab it."

Lu Lishen's fingertips twitched slightly, his gaze gently sweeping over the top of her soft, fluffy hair, and the corners of his lips curved slightly: "Really impressive."

After sitting down, he handed the phone back to her, saying in a languid tone, "It should be fine."

Jiang Jixu nodded, took the phone, and put it aside.

Lu Lishen noticed this and raised an eyebrow: "You trust me that much?"

Jiang Jixu looked at him blankly.

"Do you have a reason to lie to me?"

Lu Lishen paused, propped up one arm, curled his long fingers to support his cheek, and looked at her leisurely: "Just in case."

Jiang Wangkuang on the other side rolled his eyes.

He asked him to do a favor and stop Ji Yanci from harassing his sister, but the guy got really into acting.

He reached for the bowl of fried dumplings: "The dumplings will get cold if we don't eat them soon."

Jiang Jixu instinctively reached out to protect him.

"No."

Jiang Wang wailed, "Why? Sister, you don't love me anymore!"

“You’ve already eaten several.” Jiang Jixu glanced at him warily and shoved the bowl into Lu Lishen’s hands: “Eat quickly, I managed to snatch these.”

The man paused slightly, somewhat surprised. "For me?"

Jiang Jixu nodded naturally: "Yes, I just heard some students passing by say that the fried dumplings in the cafeteria were especially delicious today. We tried them and thought they tasted really good, but when we went to buy more, they were all sold out. This is the last one."

Lu Lishen picked up a dumpling with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Fresh, fragrant, and crispy.

"How is it?" Jiang Jixu looked at him expectantly.

"Well, it's delicious."

"Right, right!" The girl seemed to realize something, and a regretful look appeared on her face. "It's a pity that you're graduating soon, and you probably won't have many chances to come and eat here again."

The man paused, his gaze lazily lingering on her face: "There will be an opportunity."

Jiang Jixu looked up at him, bewildered.

What do you mean?
Lu Lishen didn't say anything more.

After breakfast, some of Jiang Wang and the others went to the library, while others went back to their dorms. Lu Lishen prepared to drive Jiang Jixu back to her studio. On the way to get the car, they ran into some teachers they knew. The man calmly and composedly greeted them.

"Good morning, Professor Li, Professor Wang, Teacher Zhang."

Just as Jiang Jixu was about to shout, he heard Lu Lishen continue.

"Professors, this is my wife, Jiang Jixu, who was also a student at University A. Professor Li is a professor in the School of Bioengineering, and Professor Wang and Professor Zhang are from our Computer Science Department."

The girl was taken aback at first, but she reacted quickly and immediately greeted the teachers politely.

Professor Li, the oldest among them, had a kind face, and his smile widened when he saw Jiang Jixu next to Lu Lishen.

"Oh my, I didn't expect you to get married so soon. Your Director Fu used to tell me he was worried about your marriage and asked us to see if we could introduce you to a suitable girl."

"I didn't expect you to be so quick. Look how well these two match together."

Jiang Jixu was a little embarrassed by the praise, and her cheeks and neck were tinged with a faint rosy hue.

Today she wore a light pink knitted cardigan over a cream-colored top, paired with an apricot-colored tulle skirt. Her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her look sweet and innocent, just like any other college student around her.

Lu Lishen's lips curved slightly: "Professor Li, my wife is shy. If you continue, she may not dare to come out and see anyone."

“Lu Lishen!” Jiang Jixu tugged at his sleeve, her watery eyes widening slightly.

"Madam, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again," Lu Lishen said softly, his eyes lowered.

The two's little gesture amused the teachers.

"Ah, youth is wonderful. Back in the day, my wife and I were just like that..."

"Hey, Lao Wang, how many times have you told those old stories? Don't even mention me, the students can recite them by heart now!"

"Hey, you old Li, you can't even let others mention your wife when she's away on a business trip?"

Jiang Jixu couldn't help but smile.

Lu Lishen, who was standing nearby, spoke up at the right moment to defuse the situation: "These professors are all role models for me to learn from."

"Good boy."

Professor Wang patted him on the shoulder and said to Jiang Jixu, "Little girl, let me tell you, you don't need to be too polite to him in the future. Men are just proud and unwilling to admit it, but they actually like the feeling of being controlled by their wives!"

Jiang Jixu's earlobes burned, but he still nodded to go with the flow and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Professor. I will definitely discipline him more strictly in the future."

"That's it! That's right!"

Lu Lishen smiled helplessly: "You're digging a hole for me."
