Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As night fell, street lights and neon lights blanketed the entire city in a dazzlingly and colorful show.

Lu Jia’er drove to the hotel where Academician Jin Shengping was staying. It was definitely an honor that she had been invited as a guest for the farewell dinner in honor of Academician Jin Shengping.

Lu Jia’er was guided by a waiter to a private room. The door was gently pushed open, and many people were already sitting inside.

Jin Shengping had originally only wanted a few old friends for a gathering, but it ended up being many people around a big table.

Jason saw Lu Jia’er coming in and his eyes instantly became meaningful. He gave a signal to Jin Xiangdong with his elbow, and whisperered, “Your girlfriend-to-be has arrived!”

When he heard those words, Jin Xiaongdon focused his eyes on the doorway. Over yonder, Lu Jia’er was clad in a light green sleeveless dress. She made her way over to them, just like a tall, slim and graceful lotus leaf.

Jin Xiangdong gave him a glare as a warning. Jason received it despite his smile not faltering as he waved at Lu Jia’er.

Lu Jia’er thought that it would be a group of strangers at the dinner. She didn’t expect Jason to be here too. She smiled at them and walked over. “Here you are!” Jin Xiangdong stood up.

“Good evening, Professor Lu!” Jason threw a wink at Lu Jia’er.

“Good evening!” Lu Jia’er became less constrained with some acquaintances around her.

Jin Xiangdong generously helped her to pull out a chair. As Lu Jia’er was getting seated, she took the initiative to say hello to Jin Shengping, “Mr. Jin!”

Jin Shengping cast his gaze at Lu Jia’er. From the moment she had come in even though he was talking with people, he had noticed that she was wearing a light green dress, which was a good interpretation of the phrase, ” How stainless it rises from its slimy bed! How modestly it reposes on the clear pool — an emblem of purity and truth! ” She really attracted people’s eyes.

“Please take a seat!” Jin Shengping smiled kindly and greeted Lu Jia’er.

After Lu Jia’er was seated, the waiter gave her a cup of tea. After taking a sip, Lu Jia’er looked around at everyone at the table. They should all be experts in scientific research. Several of them had appeared on China Central Television. So the prestige of this farewell dinner was very high.

It was just as Lu Jia’er expected. After the introduction section, it turned out to be all scientists at the table, and two of them were Jason’s parents.

After the introduction, Lu Jia’er politely greeted them, “I am very honored to meet you, Professor Yan and Professor Li.”

Jason’s real name was Yan Bo, and Jason was his English name. On most occasions, people were used to calling him Jason more often than not.

“Professor Lu, you’re so young! Currently you work with our son Jason, don’t you?” Jason’s mother, Mrs. Li Lin, asked.

“Yes!” Lu Jia’er smiled, and there was a bad feeling in her heart. Even if Lu Jia’er hadn’t heard Mrs. Li Lin’s inner voice, she would obviously be able to tell that she had an interest in her.

Jason, who knew his mother better than anyone else, had also perceived it instantly. His parents now had a fantasy about any lady who appeared around him.

“Dad and Mom, please don’t scare off Professor Lu!” Jason cut in.

Just now before Lu Jia’er had come, everyone had already discussed the private lives of Jason and Jin Xiangdong, so they could all understand the subtext of the dialogue between the mother and the son.

“How would I scare off Professor Lu!” Li Lin could not help but laugh and complained to her son, who had cut in.

Jason gave an expression showing “Nobody knows you better than me”. At that moment the door to the room opened, everyone heard it and looked at the door.

In came a woman in a pink dress, she was in a good shape with beautiful facial features. She was cute and lovely. She gave a sweet smile, “Grandpas, uncles and aunts, I am sorry for being late!”
