Chapter 817: Chapter 817 Inconvenient

She had just arrived, and it seemed inappropriate to trouble someone to send Cheng Yu home in the evening.

Cheng Yu looked at An Hao and was slightly unwilling, a brief look of surprise flickering in the depths of her eyes.

She was actually hesitating.

This was something Cheng Yu had not anticipated.

"If it’s inconvenient, then let’s forget about it," Cheng Yu said with a smile, her gaze revealing a touch of dejection and hurt.

"No, that’s not what I meant," An Hao quickly said, noticing the expression in Cheng Yu’s eyes. Cheng Yu had taken great care of her in the laboratory, and to not fulfill such a small request would inevitably lead to overthinking, "I was just thinking about how to get you back safely in the evening. It’s a problem because Qin Jian has been coming back especially late from his training these days... and I’m afraid it might not be safe for the two of us alone on the road."

"Oh," Cheng Yu smiled slowly, "I hadn’t considered that. You’re right, An Hao, it’s already dark out, and it indeed would be inconvenient to return."

"Then, Teacher Cheng, please don’t be upset!" An Hao said apologetically, "If you are really urgent, how about you pass me your number, and I’ll give your family a call to reassure them for tonight?"

"That won’t be necessary. When you’re available, I should give my family a call personally, after all, I’m worried my parents and Yuyu will get anxious. By that time, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you," Cheng Yu said politely.

"What trouble? You’re being too polite, Teacher Cheng. Don’t worry, I will definitely let you make that call. You can’t let your family worry about you."

"Thank you so much, An Hao," Cheng Yu said, holding An Hao’s hand tightly.

..........................................

An Hao rode her bicycle back home and found that Qin Jian had already returned. She was a bit puzzled, "Didn’t you say you were busy with training these days? How come you came back so early today?"

"I have a meeting at the headquarters early tomorrow morning. Therefore, we finished training early today," Qin Jian said while setting out the meals he brought from the canteen, "Today’s food was not bad, so I brought some back. I’ve already eaten, you should eat now."

An Hao washed her hands, sat down, picked up a steamed bun, and started eating the dishes.

Qin Jian casually asked her, "How was it? How did the charity clinic go today?"

An Hao put down her chopsticks and sighed, "People came from all around, even a child with congenital heart disease; it was quite heartbreaking to see. Most of them are very poor and can’t afford medicine, naturally unable to take it regularly to sustain life. This time when Teacher Yan came over, he brought a lot of medicine with him, all purchased out of his own pocket and given to the patients for free."

Qin Jian nodded, "Yan Ye seems like a pretty good guy. A very righteous man."

"Yes! It’s a pity that such a good man has yet to find a good woman to accompany him for life," An Hao sighed involuntarily.

Qin Jian frowned slightly, "You sure have a lot of things to worry about."

"What? Are you jealous?" An Hao teased with a smile. "I was just saying it off the cuff, do you need to take it so seriously?"

"Of course, I do. You’re my wife; you should only have eyes for one man, and that’s me."

"Overbearing," An Hao said with a laugh and continued eating.

The phone on the table rang; Qin Jian stood up to answer it and after a few words handed it to An Hao, "It’s for you, Sister Guifang."

An Hao put down the steamed bun she was holding and answered the phone, hearing Zhang Guifang’s voice come through, "Sis, you finally made it! I thought you weren’t coming this year! I heard that Mei Ying and Chunhua have both invited you for meals. When are you free? Come over to my place for dinner too!"
