Chapter 1396: First Kiss That She Treasured for Thirty Years!

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

On the way home, Long Yuetian remained in a trance. Zhai Zhongshen’s handsome face kept appearing in her mind and the words “I want you” kept repeating over and over again.

She couldn’t believe such a serious and stoic man actually said the words “I want you.”

Was she dreaming? Was she having an illusion?

As soon as she got home, Long Yuetian collapsed on her bed. She began to regret everything.

Why didn’t she refuse just now?!

That was so humiliating!

Her first kiss!

Her first kiss that she treasured for thirty years!

Two hours later, Long Yuetian finally located her brain. She realized she suffered a huge loss.

“That damned old man!” Long Yuetian cursed as she punched her bed. She wanted to vent her anger and displeasure.

Then, she began to toss and turn on her bed.

Finally, she decided to stay away from Zhai Zhongshen.

She was a member of the Long family. How could she let a man influence her heart like this?

As a descendant of the Long family, she had to be independent and self-disciplined. She wasn’t going to be swayed by others!

Unlike the research team formed by Jian Yiling, everyone on Zhang Xin’s team were all descendants or disciples of the Zhang family.

As Zhang Xin’s ancestors passed down a remedy for lung cancer, after a bit of research over the years, Zhang Xin and his team found out it was very effective in slowing down the spread of cancer cells in the lungs.

Perhaps back in the day, his ancestor used this formula to treat lung cancer. However, back then, he probably didn’t know what it was.

Previously, through various experiments, Zhang Xin managed to confirm that this remedy could delay the deterioration of the lung to a certain extent. This could allow patients with terminal lung cancer who could previously only survive two to three months to be able to extend their life to two or three years.

This was why Zhang Xin was so confident.

With this as the foundation, they just needed to further develop this remedy.

However, things were not going as smoothly as Zhang Xin planned.

A week had passed, and he hadn’t made any progress at all.

And thus, Zhang Xin began to worry.

Eventually, he decided to send someone to have a look around Jian Yiling’s research lab to inquire into the situation. He wanted to make sure he was ahead of her in progression.

However, his men couldn’t get anywhere close to Jian Yiling’s research. And thus, there was no way to inquire into Jian Yiling’s research progression.

In the end, Zhang Xin could only go to see Qin Chuan.

As Qin Chuan was the subject of their competition, he was under the joint supervision of three parties. Namely, Zhang Xin’s research team, Jian Yiling’s research team, and the National Medical Institution who acted as their judge.

When Zhang Xin arrived, Qin Chuan’s complexion looked better than usual. He had much more energy than when Zhang Xin first saw him.

However, this was not necessarily because his condition improved. Rather, the effect seemed to be brought by a change in mood.

When Jian Yiling arrived outside Qin Chuan’s ward, Zhang Xin and Qin Chuan were chatting inside.

Zhang Xin asked Qin Chuan: “Have you let go of your obsession with Dr. Jian?”

“Well, it’s not really letting go. I just figured things out,” Qin Chuan replied.

“That’s good. Being in a better mood will help your condition and give you more hope to last until the end of our competition.”

“Are you determined to win against her?”

“Of course. The Zhang family has a reputation to maintain in the medical industry. We have hundreds of years of foundation. This can’t be ruined in my hands. Even though we’re a reclusive family, we will not allow someone else to claim to be the best.”
