Chapter 609: He’s Not My Boyfriend
As the couple was heading out, they happened to run into Li Zhao.
It turned out Li Zhao lived in the same dormitory building.
He was stunned for a moment when he saw Fu Mingxue and Qin Wenhao walking together.
He quickly recovered and said, "Mr. Qin, you’re here too!"
Qin Wenhao didn’t have a very good impression of him at the moment.
He responded coolly, "Yeah."
Li Zhao didn’t seem to mind his coldness. He looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you heading to eat? How about we go together?"
Qin Wenhao wasn’t the type to feel awkward about refusing. He rejected the offer outright. "No, thanks. I’d like to eat alone with my wife."
Li Zhao was taken aback.
But he recovered quickly, saying, "Alright then, I won’t disturb you two."
After giving them both a polite nod, he went on his way.
’At this point, if he couldn’t see Qin Wenhao’s hostility, his brain must really be just for show.’
’It seemed Fu Mingxue had likely told Qin Wenhao about the matchmaking business.’
Qin Wenhao watched him leave, then turned to Fu Mingxue as if nothing had happened. "Honey, let’s go!"
Fu Mingxue glanced at him and nodded. "Alright."
The two of them arrived at the cafeteria.
There weren’t many people eating at this hour.
They went up to the serving window.
Qin Wenhao asked, "Honey, what do you want to eat?"
"You can order whatever you like." Fu Mingxue wasn’t a picky eater.
Besides, the food made by the cafeteria chefs was actually quite good.
Hearing this, Qin Wenhao ordered his wife’s favorite dishes.
"Auntie, we’ll have an order of the braised pork, one of fish, one of shredded potatoes, and one of stir-fried cabbage with pork slices. Also, a small and a large serving of rice, please."
The cafeteria lady glanced at him, then at Fu Mingxue.
She smiled and asked, "Little Fu, is this your boyfriend?"
Fu Mingxue was beautiful, and it was rare to see such a young woman at the base.
Even though she hadn’t been there long, the cafeteria staff all remembered her.
After all, Fu Mingxue was exceptionally beautiful.
More importantly—they had once heard someone call her Group Leader Fu.
A group leader at such a young age—that was incredibly impressive.
This was a research base, after all!
Most of the staff were quite a bit older.
They were all middle-aged or senior engineers.
And here was this young woman in her twenties—and she was a group leader. With that kind of achievement, it was hard not to remember her.
Fu Mingxue shook her head. "No, he’s not, Auntie."
Her words didn’t just stun the cafeteria lady; even Qin Wenhao wore a rare look of shock when he heard his wife’s denial.
He turned his head to look at Fu Mingxue.
’Why would she deny our relationship?’
Just then, Fu Mingxue smiled and spoke again. "We’re married. He’s my husband, so you can’t call him my boyfriend."
Qin Wenhao’s face lit up instantly.
A wave of joy washed over him.
’Honestly—when his wife had denied their relationship just now, his heart had ached a little.’
’He never expected her to make the distinction that they were husband and wife.’
The cafeteria lady was astonished as well.
She had thought the two were just dating!
But it turned out they were already married.
’Group Leader Fu married quite young.’
’After all, most intellectuals seemed to prefer marrying and having children later in life.’
"So you’re Group Leader Fu’s husband! You two certainly married young, but you make such a perfect couple."
"You think so? I think we’re a perfect match, too. Auntie, could you dish out our food now? And please give me more of the lean pieces of the braised pork. I prefer the lean meat."
