I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2840 - 1762: Fool

"You still watch One Piece?"

Boss Jiang poured a glass of soda for his girlfriend, who just finished a check-up but hadn’t gotten the results yet, showing no anxiety.

Of course.

And not guilty.

He and her had a purely senior-junior relationship, and had only met once.

His previous explanation contained no lies.

"Is there a problem?"

Li Shuru watched as the cola flowed into the disposable plastic cup, bubbles forming and then bursting one by one.

"Girls still watch this kind of passionate anime? Shouldn’t you be watching ’In the name of the moon, I’ll punish you’?"

Li Shuru looked up, "In the name of the moon, I’ll punish you? What is that?"

Jiang Chen was surprised, then gave a slight bitter smile and sighed.

"Generation gap, oh generation gap."

He handed over the cola, then put down the cola bottle.

"Tell me about it."

"Tell you what? In the name of the moon, I’ll punish you?"

"Cloud Theory."

Jiang Chen smirked, picked up chopsticks, and grabbed a clove of sweet garlic, "It’s after work, no studying allowed."

Only Li Shuru could detect the implied meaning in his words.

Is this concern?

No.

It’s blatant sarcasm.

"Looking down on me? Think I’m uneducated?"

"How could that be."

Jiang Chen immediately denied, "I mean you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself; everyone has shortcomings. You can’t expect to compete with Conan in solving cases, play rogue with Shin-chan, or flirt like Luffy, you’ll exhaust yourself."

Watching the man earnestly peel the sweet garlic, Li Shuru said, "Not serious at all."

Jiang Chen looked up, gesturing with the peeled sweet garlic, "Want some?"

"Stinky breath."

Li Shuru ruthlessly refused, putting vegetables on the grill.

Jiang Chen stuffed the sweet garlic into his mouth, mumbling, "How can it be stinky, it smells so good."

"Ring ring ring..."

The phone rang.

The couple, finally having some alone time, stopped their actions simultaneously.

"Your phone."

Jiang Chen reminded.

Obviously.

Of course, she knew.

It was indeed after work hours. At this point, apart from workhorses, it wouldn’t be work-related interruptions, so it must be personal.

Li Shuru fished out her phone from her pocket.

An unknown caller.

And checked the time.

7:26

Less than two hours since leaving the hospital after the check-up.

"President Li, it’s Chen Limin."

"Hello, Dean Chen."

Jiang Chen took out a napkin to wipe his hands, it seemed he was a bit "nervous" too?

"Sorry to disturb you, President Li. Your check-up results are out; your health is excellent with no issues."

Under the table.

Her left hand, not holding the phone, quietly relaxed, and Li Shuru’s demeanor and tone remained calm and elegant, "Thank you, Dean Chen."

"You can check the detailed report on your phone, so I won’t disturb you any longer."

"All right."

"I told you, no need to worry unnecessarily."

Just as Li Shuru put down her phone, someone interjected as if he had ears like a bat and could hear the other side of the conversation.

"He said I need a re-exam."

The easily relaxed Jiang Chen froze, then his expression turned serious.

"Are you itching for trouble? Who would curse themselves for no reason?"

Li Shuru chuckled, her pretense falling apart completely.

"How can you be sure I’m okay?"

Boss Jiang casually reached for the meat again, "If there was anything wrong, he wouldn’t call. People only report good news, not bad."

Li Shuru put her phone away, "Being too smart isn’t always a good thing."

There’s no need to look at the detailed report for now, as a layperson wouldn’t understand those figures.

The dean himself called to give good news, there couldn’t be a mistake.

"You’re wrong, the complete version of that saying is: being too smart isn’t always a good thing for women."

Boss Jiang was nonchalant, appearing even more relaxed than Li Shuru, as if he were the one confirmed healthy.

"Now you can relax, right? Many pains in life are really just imagined."

He spoke with such eloquence.

Someone forgot that he too rushed to the hospital out of fear back then?

People are like that.

When advising others, they can speak endlessly.

"Sigh~"

For some reason, Li Shuru quickly stopped smiling again, even though she had resolved her worries, she couldn’t feel happy, her brows knitted, and Liu Mei frowned.

"What’s wrong now?" Boss Jiang asked with a puzzled smile.

"It seems our destiny isn’t deep."

Jiang Chen was baffled, her expression reflected in his face, as he slightly frowned, "What does this have to do with our destiny?"

"If there’s nothing wrong with my body, why hasn’t there been any response?"

With just a simple question, almost like a self-question or an accusation, someone found themselves at a loss for words, mouth agape.

Li Shuru gazed at him.

"... Isn’t this quite normal?" Jiang Chen pondered, then spoke: "You can ask Dean Chen how many couples have been married for years and still can’t conceive, and yet both are perfectly healthy. These things are..."

Jiang Chen paused again, after a while, he spoke with a tone mixed with a trace of effortfully hidden yet unquenchable complexity: "rather... metaphysical."

He was definitely thinking of faraway Japan.

While his girlfriend, across from him, surely had a different "dream while sharing the same table."

"Ultimately, it boils down to shallow destiny, right."

Boss Jiang, adept at psychological counseling, didn’t succeed this time. Li Shuru watched the rising smoke from the grill, "I know another saying, it’s called genetic incompatibility."

"Ha."

The smile on someone’s face grew more bitter, "After checking your body and finding nothing wrong, you’re not thinking about getting a genetic test, are you? Let me tell you, human scientific technology isn’t so advanced, genetic compatibility can’t be tested with current medicine."

"Medicine can’t answer you, but someone can give you the answer."

"Huh?"

Li Shuru raised the disposable plastic cup and took a sip of cola.

"What do you mean? I don’t quite understand."

Boss Jiang asked perplexedly, "Who can give you an answer?"

"That’s why they say, being too clever can be a mistake."

It was clear, he didn’t know, and certainly, the person in Sha City must be in great confusion and distress.

So, does the world’s underlying logic really follow science, or is it metaphysical?

Why, after hearing about the story of "Mountain Village Corpse," did she inexplicably decide to send someone to Sha City?

It seemed as though a voice told her, perhaps there would be a discovery.

And indeed.

Her intuition wasn’t wrong.

Or perhaps, she had, for the first time, grasped the threads of destiny.

"When did you become so superstitious?"

Boss Jiang teased, still in the dark, thinking his girlfriend was in the dark.

Coincidentally.

Li Shuru likely thought the same thing.

"Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"

A skewer of lamb kidneys was gently placed into Boss Jiang’s bowl.

Boss Jiang naturally misunderstood, grinning and saying, "Can’t we have both?"

Li Shuru’s eyes shone, teasing flirtatiously, she said:

"Idiot."
