Chapter 480: Could He Have Been Pursuing You Since Young?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing the excited look on everyone’s faces, Chu Luo was very satisfied.

After they agreed on the gathering point and time, everyone dispersed. Chu Luo, Nangong Yi, Wang Mingtao, and Yu Tong walked together.

Yu Tong was still in disbelief. “Chu Luo, did you really only study microbiology for two nights?”

“Yes.”

Yu Tong swallowed her saliva. “Don’t tell me you’ve been up late for two nights in a row?”

“Stay up late?” Chu Luo thought for a while. She had indeed stayed up late last night, but it was very different from what Yu Tong had said about staying up late.

Feeling a little guilty, Chu Luo told her about the time she had been studying for the past two days.

“The day before yesterday, I studied from three to four in the afternoon until ten in the evening. Yesterday, from eight to ten.”

Yu Tong: “!!!”

Nangong Yi chuckled. “Junior is indeed Junior. Ordinary people like us can only worship your IQ.”

Yu Tong and Wang Mingtao nodded.

“But the flower farm that Junior is talking about, could it be the one owned by Wang Mingtao’s family?”

“Ah! President, how did you know?”

Wang Mingtao looked surprised. He didn’t expect him to guess so easily.

Chu Luo wasn’t surprised that he could think of that.

Nangong Yi still told Wang Mingtao, “Previously when our Student Union organized a national art exhibition, Uncle Wang sponsored fresh flowers. Junior, you’re thanking Uncle Wang by getting everyone to help this time.”

At this point, Nangong Yi said to Chu Luo, “Actually, Junior, as long as you make things clear in advance, everyone in the Student Union will be willing to help.”

Yu Tong quickly nodded and echoed, “That’s right, that’s right. As long as you tell me in advance, Chu Luo, I’ll definitely be the first person to be willing to go. Moreover, I’ll go to the flower field! I’ve always dreamt of going there to take a look.”

The corners of Wang Mingtao’s lips twitched. He told her the truth straightforwardly. “It must be very fun to admire the flowers, but when it comes to cutting the flowers, just don’t complain about being tired.”

“Why would I?” Yu Tong didn’t think it was tiring to cut the flowers at all. Besides, “Even if I’m tired, I’m also happy… You won’t understand how much girls like flowers.”

Wang Mingtao shrugged. “Alright.”

He really didn’t understand.

Chu Luo waited for the two of them to finish speaking before saying to Nangong Yi seriously, “It won’t be fun to tell them in advance.”

Nangong Yi: “…”

Junior did it on purpose!

Soon, it was time for class.

After the classes ended for the day, Chu Luo returned to the villa at Imperial Sky Park.

Li Yan wasn’t back yet.

Anya came over when she came back.

Chu Luo said to her, “As a princess, how can you be so idle?”

Anya looked dispirited. “I suddenly don’t feel energetic and don’t want to do anything anymore.”

“You’re still free.”

Chu Luo asked again, “The king and queen didn’t let you go back since you stayed in the empire.”

At this point, Anya became even more depressed. “Yes. My father and mother suddenly called me a few times today and asked me to go back. My father said that if I didn’t go back, he would get the embassy to kidnap me back.”

Just as Anya finished speaking, her phone rang again.

There was only Chu Luo in the living room. Anya stopped pretending to be crippled and stood up to walk to the window to answer the call.

From her words, it was obvious that it was another call from the king or queen.

Anya spoke to the other party for a while before hanging up.

Chu Luo looked at her.

Anya said, “Chu, looks like I have no choice but to go back this time.”

“What happened?”

“Mm… Erm, my mother helped me find a man. My father asked me to go back and cultivate feelings with him and get married to him if I fancy him.”

“Who is the other party?”

“Duke Sawyer’s grandson.”

“Do you want to go back?”

“No. I said that I have someone I like in the empire, but my father said that even if I don’t like him, if I have to reject him, I must go back and talk to him face-to-face.”

Chu Luo guessed something when she saw her expression. “You know that duke’s grandson?”

“Yes.” Anya looked a little strange. “Not only do we know each other, but we’ve been schoolmates since we were young.”

“…” Chu Luo was silent for a while before asking, “Could he have been pursuing you since you were young?”

“How did you know?” Anya was especially surprised.

Chu Luo thought: ‘This is how it plays out in all the melodramatic dramas Roundy watches.’

“Then can you reject him when you go back?” Chu Luo was very doubtful.

This was what Anya was vexed about. “Duke Sawyer’s family has a good relationship with the royal family. I’m just vexed about how I can make Adair willingly give up marrying me without affecting the relationship between the two families.”

Chu Luo didn’t intend to interfere in this matter. She asked, “Will you tell Qin Ming about this?”

“Yes,” Anya said matter-of-factly. “This matter concerns our future. He has the right to know about it.”

Chu Luo actually had nothing to say.

Anya actually wanted to come to Chu Luo’s place to complain. Then, she told Chu Luo about her grudge with that man called Adair before leaving.

Chu Luo went to the villa at the back.

The three of them hadn’t seen Chu Luo for a long time. Seeing her come, Elder Hu pulled her to look at the herb garden in the backyard.

Looking at how nicely the various herbs were growing, Elder Hu laughed and said, “Little Chu, look at our herbs. They’re many times better than those sold on the market.”

Chu Luo looked at the undisguised joy on Elder Hu’s face and smiled too. She said, “The array formations in this villa can gather spiritual aura. The spiritual aura is very nourishing for herbs. After the herbs mature, they can unleash more spiritual aura. That’s why they grow so well.”

“Hahaha, that’s right. That’s why we’re lucky to be researching with you. Indeed, there are many benefits to knowing such stuff.”

After Elder Hu finished sighing, the two of them looked at the herbs in the courtyard for a while and discussed which herbs they could use for which medicine when the time came. Then, they walked towards the laboratory.

When they arrived at the laboratory, Professor Tang and Cao Dongliang stopped what they were doing and walked over.

Professor Tang handed a document to Chu Luo and said to her, “Little Chu, this is the patent we applied to the World Medical Association. They gave us this document. Take a look. If there’s no problem, sign it.”

Chu Luo took the document and finished reading it quickly. Then, she looked up at the three of them and frowned. “Are the benefits written wrongly here?”

“That’s no mistake about it.” Elder Hu smiled and said to her, “You take half, and the three of us share the remaining half.”

Chu Luo handed the contract to Professor Tang with a dissatisfied expression. “This research is a joint result of the four of us. It’s fine if my name is the first one to be written on the paper, but the profits in the future can only be divided equally between the four of us. Otherwise, I won’t sign it.”

The three of them were a little surprised to hear her say that.

Elder Hu scolded jokingly, “Little girl, you’ll definitely get the largest share. That’s very fair.”

“It’s not fair.” Chu Luo pulled a long face. “If you don’t change it, I won’t sign it.”

“Hey! You wretched girl.” Elder Hu wanted to flick her forehead.

Cao Dongliang pushed his glasses up and said, “Little Chu, you were the one who provided the herbs, and the equipment here is also your…”

“It’s CEO Li’s. Don’t involve him with me.”

Chu Luo’s words immediately made the three of them smile. Cao Dongliang nodded. “Alright, let’s not talk about this. When we experimented with this kind of prescription, you were the one who provided other techniques. These techniques also contribute to a larger share.”

“No, no.”

Chu Luo insisted, “In any case, the four of us will split it equally. Otherwise, I won’t sign it.”

The three of them looked at the insistent Chu Luo, and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Professor Tang thought for a while and said, “Since Little Chu insists that we share the credit, let’s not fight over it. How about this? We’ll teach Little Chu everything we know. Do you think that’s okay?”

When Chu Luo heard this, her eyes lit up. She quickly nodded and looked at the other two expectantly.

Elder Hu and Cao Dongliang had no intention of rejecting it. To be able to teach what they knew to Chu Luo was something to be proud of.

The two of them looked at Chu Luo’s sparkling eyes and nodded at the same time.

“Sure.”

“I have no objections.”

This matter was thus decided.

Only then did the four of them start making the medicinal packets needed for the gaming capsule.

At ten o’clock, Li Yan arrived on time to pick Chu Luo up.

When the two of them walked into the courtyard, Chu Luo gestured to Li Yan. “Yan, wait for a while. I’ll gather some herbs before going back.”

The two of them walked towards the backyard.

After Chu Luo picked some herbs in a basket, the two of them walked towards their villa.

Chu Luo told him about the patent application and Li Yan told her, “In theory, this patent must be given to Blazing Glory first. When the time comes, the company will draft another contract for you.”

Chu Luo nodded. She suddenly remembered that she had wanted to ask this morning, but she had forgotten to ask the question. “Which family is the Shang family close to?”

“On the surface, they look close to both families, but they’re aligned with the Duanmu family.”

“In that case, the Qin family and the Shang family will attend Young Master Shang’s wedding?”

“Mm, we received an invitation too. If you want to go, I’ll pick you up after school that day.”

Chu Luo definitely didn’t want to go. “I might as well read a few more books than go to that kind of place.”

Li Yan had long guessed her thoughts.. He touched her hair and said, “Okay.”
