Chapter 221: Not At All Interested in Him

Perhaps in the whole wide world, only Xinghe would treat him this way.

Mubai conceded helplessly, ”I said my hands are tied when it comes to kicking Yun Ruobing out, but I didn't say I can't help you get back into the lab.”

As he expected, Xinghe sat back down again. Naturally, Mubai retracted his hand.

”But didn't your grandmother have banned me from the lab?” Xinghe argued before adding, ”Actually I don't need to go back, the research can go on just fine with the support of another lab. It's just that I don't want to hand the patent over to any company other than yours.”

Mubai's eyes lit up with good cheer. He was overjoyed because Xinghe was acting in his interests.

However, what Xinghe said next sent him crashing back to reality. ”Such a good patent has to go to Lin Lin.”

Mubai was speechless.

He should have known! In her eyes, he was nothing more than the person that was unfortunately attached to her son!

”Therefore, if it is too much of a hassle, it is not compulsory that I have to return to the Xi Family Lab,” Xinghe said truthfully. She was telling Mubai, even without the Xi's support, she would achieve success.

Mubai stared at her and replied with a smile, ”Don't worry, there will always be a spot for you at the lab if I have anything to do with it. The solution is actually very simple and I swear no one will be able to stand in your way.”

”What solution?”

”Goodness, I'm hungry. How about we continue this after dinner?”

Two can play at this game. Mubai knew the moment he let the cat out of the bag, Xinghe would get up and leave. He couldn't allow that to happen.

Why is it so hard to have a proper dinner-date with this woman?

Mubai groaned inwardly. There was a long line of women wishing that he'd invite them out to dinner but as fate would have it, he was hooked by one who wasn't part of that line.

Of course, even Mubai himself was surprised by how deep he had fallen for the lady sitting across from him.

Xinghe narrowed her eyes at him as if reading his thoughts.

Mubai fidgeted in his seat, worried that she would walk out on him.
