Chapter 1153 - 1155:
Gong Ruini had no idea that when she was busy dealing with factory affairs, her classmates were chattering about her.
Although Gong Ruini was well-liked in class, even if she disappeared after every class, as long as someone had a question, she would at least point them to sources, even if she couldn’t answer it thoroughly.
Everyone knew Gong Ruini must have worked hard for her good grades, along with her frequent visits to Jing University’s library, proving her love for reading.
But no one expected Gong Ruini to be so diligent in reading, leaving everyone in shock.
Some skeptics followed her advice to check books and were amazed to find she was right.
Those who thought they could take the top spot from Gong Ruini started second-guessing.
They now realized that taking first place wasn’t as easy as they thought.
Just her problem-solving approach was enough to make them reconsider.
Gong Ruini was unaware that her eagerness to return early had sparked so many thoughts in others, making her only able to laugh about it.
She was truly busy rushing to the factory to handle affairs, then returning home around six, having dinner, and continuing with work.
Luckily, although Wan Qiweng couldn’t handle tasks for long periods, she could share a lot of the burden, especially auditing accounts, which was all done by Wan Qiweng; otherwise, Gong Ruini would have been worn out.
Even so, Gong Ruini felt quite pressured, thankful for the space she had; without it, who knows what she’d do.
Even though she had little time at school each day, rushing to school before class and leaving immediately after.
But from people’s excitement and attempts to compete, as well as the occasional concern and information from Qiao Yanran and others, she knew many were eagerly waiting to see her dethroned from the top spot.
To these challenges, Gong Ruini eagerly anticipated their attempts.
Strategically, she dismissed them, but remained vigilant mentally.
One slip, and she’d be the one embarrassed, knowing she spends seven to eight hours in her space every night.
Even in the space where memories are more intense, she still has to review things two or three times.
Zhao Xuran rushed to Beijing overnight, met his parents, and after notifying them, went straight to see Gong Ruini.
Even though she claimed everything was fine and she handled matters promptly, he wasn’t reassured.
Truth be told, Zhao Xuran was a bit upset about Wan Qiweng’s pregnancy, as it came at this inconvenient time.
Why couldn’t it have happened a bit earlier or later?
Revealing this now was just adding to the chaos; Zhao Xuran regretted not knowing sooner.
Had he known, he would’ve postponed the club’s affairs, worried he’d encounter a frail or disheartened Gong Ruini.
He envisioned how pitiable she might be, but was shocked upon entering.
"Ni Zi, you’re actually finding time to paint!" Peeking in, he saw Gong Ruini painting.
This was unexpected amidst her busy schedule, leaving Zhao Xuran puzzled.
"Brother Xuran." Gong Ruini genuinely didn’t know he was back, "Are you hungry?"
"Did you get something on the way?"
"Oh, the food on the train is terrible. I’ll make you something." Gong Ruini slapped her forehead, knowing Zhao Xuran could spend money, but the train food wasn’t worth the expectation.
Considering the late hour, few restaurants would be open, even if he knew where to eat, he didn’t have time.
All to see her first, which made Gong Ruini feel a bit guilty.
Would he do this if it weren’t for her?
"I have good beef today; how about some beef noodles?"
"Sure." Without her mentioning it, Zhao Xuran hadn’t even realized he was hungry, but now his stomach growled in protest.
Though busy, Gong Ruini understood his immediate visit meant a lot, but health was paramount.
This guy was a workaholic, often skipping meals when busy.
"Make sure you eat on time, okay?"
"Aunt Zhan took you to see people with stomach problems, didn’t she?"
Gong Ruini felt the impact of their hospital visit had faded.
If Zhao Xuran had forgotten, she’d take him again.
While she joked lightly, it was a bombshell to Zhao Xuran, "No, no, really, no!"
"I’ll make sure to eat on time." Zhao Xuran wasn’t too shocked by the patients, but he feared his wife finding out about his irregular eating, which would result in a lack of affection and days without seeing her, which wouldn’t make him happy.
"As long as you know." Life space water in his drinks and food when possible.
Though not miracle-working, long-term use showed effects, observed in Zhuge Zhi and Wan Dajun.
Luckily Zhuge Zhi was a renowned doctor, and Wan Dajun a health enthusiast, avoiding suspicions, merely seen as living well.
Many sought health tips, burdening Zhuge Zhi, who had no secret tips, just Tai Chi Boxing, gardening, and moderate eating and exercise.
Family knew Zhuge Zhi was right, but outsiders doubted. Beijing had many Tai Chi Boxing seniors, but few with such results.
Though disgruntled and suspecting secrets, they couldn’t directly accuse, and they dare not confront Zhuge Zhi.
Even a great Chinese medicine practitioner is just a lonely old man without heirs, but now things changed.
Zhuge Zhi had descendants, adopting a highly accomplished grandson, despite his youth impressive enough not to warrant offending Zhuge Zhi.
"I only hope to live better than Grandpa Zhuge."
"You promised me that when we’re sixty, we’d fully retire and travel."
Even though Zhao Xuran promised Gong Ruini yearly trips, could he really leave work behind?
Probably working while traveling.
A wife’s request was non-negotiable, especially since he was in the wrong this time, a swift acknowledgment essential.
