Chapter 105: The End of Science Is Metaphysics

In the private group chat of the three women, neither Lee Lan nor Xu Man said a word, but both forwarded posts related to the matter.

The two of them were probably dying to gorge themselves on the gossip.

But they were also afraid of saying the wrong thing, so they did not dare voice any opinions in the group.

After all, the bond among the three of them still was not that deep.

There was still a certain wariness; they feared that if they spoke carelessly, they would be sold out before long.

Xu Man directly forwarded one of the hottest posts at the moment about Ji Sicheng and Bai Xixue, then sent a question mark.

Lee Lan replied with a nose-picking emoji.

Then the group fell silent.

No one said anything else.

Perhaps that kind of relationship was what people called fake, through and through.

Soon afterward, a string of messages followed.

She could not be bothered to reply to some of them, but one red notification on Lu Ye's chat icon caught her eye.

Curious, she opened his chat window.

A period?

What was he trying to say with a period?

Oh, she got it.

This was a brooding, flirtatious man trying to assert his presence, sending a period to tell her: Woman, do you remember me?

At the end of the day, Jiang Sui still thought Lu Ye had a bit of the domineering CEO vibe about him.

What Jiang Sui would never have guessed was the resentment that had built in Lu Ye after waiting for her all night yesterday, only to hear nothing from her in the end.

So she sent back a question mark.

"?"

Lu Ye: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Sui: "Just woke up."

Lu Ye: "Have you eaten?"

Before Jiang Sui could ask whether Lu Ye was planning to poison her, she heard Xuanxuan's voice.

"Mommy Jiang Sui..."

She turned around and saw Xuanxuan standing at the doorway, sleepy-eyed, clutching a teddy bear.

Then Xuanxuan widened her eyes and stared at her... and at the little paper figures beside her.

The little paper figures, alarmed as well, hurriedly hid behind Jiang Sui.

Jiang Sui: "..."

Oh no, she'd been found out.

Xuanxuan raised a finger and pointed at the little paper figures beside Jiang Sui. "They..."

Her big eyes were full of curiosity, but not a trace of fear.

Jiang Sui put down her phone and coughed softly.

"Well, Mommy Jiang Sui is doing a science experiment," she said solemnly.

Xuanxuan looked intrigued. "A science experiment?"

Jiang Sui nodded. "Yes. Mommy Jiang Sui is studying how to make these objects fly through the air by themselves. See? Isn't it a very great experiment?"

Xuanxuan's eyes lit up. "Mommy Jiang Sui is amazing! Just like a scientist!"

Jiang Sui: "..."

I work with mysticism, and you're asking me if I'm a scientist?

Wasn't that a bit absurd?

Still, she did not so much as blink. With a smile, she said, "That's right. So Xuanxuan should study hard too and try to become a scientist in the future, okay?"

Xuanxuan stared at the little paper figures with shining eyes. "Mm-hmm! Xuanxuan will work hard."

And so, in the heart of little Xuanxuan, a seed of science quietly took root.

Jiang Sui grinned.

"You use the power of mysticism, yet tell a child to believe in science?" the system finally could not hold back.

Jiang Sui: Haven't you ever heard the saying that the end of science is mysticism?

System: "..."

It sounded so reasonable that it had no rebuttal at all.

The online uproar fermented for a whole week, and in the end it was suppressed by a scandal involving a top celebrity.

Meanwhile, Ji Sicheng's corporate conglomerate also became a major target of scrutiny because of the incident.

Several major projects were derailed because of it, and the market value was affected as well, plummeting by billions.

Because Ji Sicheng was busy handling the company, he had no time to spare for Bai Xixue for the time being, which left Bai Xixue full of resentment as well.

After several arguments, she was finally thoroughly soothed by Ji Sicheng's forceful embrace.
