799 -795: Major Crisis
Nanami worked all night but did not achieve any results, which is actually quite normal.
Scientific experimentation is not like other activities; it requires a precise, serious, and meticulous scientific spirit, not something where progress can be boosted by simply pulling an all-nighter with sheer willpower.
Yu Chen and his laboratory team were busy all night, and the only result they had to show for it was a small beginning.
After stretching his limbs and looking at the tumor cell samples still being cultured on the experimental bench, he shook his head and said to the others, “We’ve been up all night, everyone has worked hard.
Go and rest, come back to work in the afternoon; take the morning off.”
Having said that, Yu Chen also stood up from his chair, ready to go to the washroom to freshen up and change clothes.
But as he approached the laboratory door, there stood Belfast, holding a set of clean clothes, waiting respectfully.
On seeing Yu Chen emerge, she gracefully curtsied and said, “Sir, the lady knew you worked overtime last night and made a point of having me bring you clothes, and she has prepared breakfast.
Would you like to have your breakfast here, or would you like to eat back in your office?”
“Send the breakfast to my office.
I’ll wash up and be right over,” Yu Chen nodded to Belfast, took the clothes from her hands, and headed towards the washroom.
At this time, the researchers were also just coming out of the laboratory.
Seeing Belfast standing at the door, they hurriedly bowed respectfully to her, and Belfast returned their salutations with elegant grace.
“Is that the professor’s maid?
Is she a foreigner?
She’s so beautiful!”
“How enviable!
I wish I had such a gentle maid to bring me breakfast after working overtime!”
Belfast’s expression remained unchanged as she listened to the young researchers’ discussions, but a glimmer of a smile appeared at the corner of her eyes.
Yu Chen quickly washed his face, changed his clothes, and came out of the washroom.
Seeing the dirty clothes in Yu Chen’s hands, Belfast naturally took them from him; then she followed half a step behind him back to his office.
By the time Yu Chen returned to his office, a steaming British breakfast had already been arranged on his desk.
Unlike the British food that is renowned the world over for its lack of appeal, British breakfasts and afternoon teas are the true representations of British culinary culture.
Steaming baked tomatoes, butter-fried eggs, fragrant grilled sausages and fried bacon, boiled mushrooms covered in cheese sauce, and duck-fat-fried potato chunks sprinkled with fine salt when eaten with various types of bread, it can be said that only the Chinese, and perhaps the Japanese who take breakfast as a main meal, can match the British in breakfast richness.
In addition to these foods, the British breakfast also includes porridge and beverages, making it not only a nutritionally rich meal but also one to be enjoyed to the fullest.
Looking at such a lavish breakfast, Yu Chen, who had been busy all night, couldn’t help feeling uplifted.
He sat down at his desk and began to enjoy his meal while Belfast stood by his side, serving him.
Although Yu Chen did not need any serving, it has to be said that having a perfect and beautiful maid like Belfast by one’s side is a delight for the eyes and can even boost the appetite considerably.
While Chen Yu was having his meal, Hiromi Jounouchi, who was under the escort of Prince Eugene on duty today, also arrived at the office.
After changing her clothes in her own office, she went straight to Chen Yu’s office, seemingly with something to discuss.
“Honey, what’s up?
Is there something you need to talk about?” Chen Yu looked up at Hiromi Jounouchi, curious about her concern, “Did you have breakfast?
Do you want to eat something?
You need to eat more now that you’re eating for two.”
“I’ve already had breakfast at home.
There’s something I need to tell you.” Hiromi Jounouchi sat down in front of Chen Yu, her expression showing worry and anxiety.
Seeing her like this, Chen Yu was surprised and concerned, asking, “What’s wrong?
Has something happened?”
Despite his question, Chen Yu was still puzzled about what could be making Hiromi Jounouchi so worried and anxious.
“Your mother called last night, and since you weren’t home, I picked up.
I accidentally let slip that I’m pregnant.” Hiromi Jounouchi adjusted her somewhat troubled mood before beginning to explain to Chen Yu.
Hearing Hiromi Jounouchi’s words, Chen Yu was also taken aback; he hadn’t prepared to tell his family yet, but Hiromi had inadvertently spilled the beans.
It didn’t seem to be a big deal, though, so Chen Yu smiled and said, “That’s okay.
We would have had to tell them sooner or later.
Telling them now will just make the old folks happy a bit earlier.
It’s not a bad thing.”
“But the issue is that your mom said she wants to fly over to take care of me!
She thinks we’re both so busy with work and that I need someone to look after me during my pregnancy, so she’s coming over!” Hiromi Jounouchi anxiously relayed the news that had worried her all night.
The news of his own mother coming over to Japan was a headache for Chen Yu; this was no small matter.
He put down his breakfast, rubbed his forehead, and after gathering his thoughts, he confirmed with Hiromi Jounouchi, “So, my mom called last night, and you told her about your pregnancy.
Then my mom, thinking we’re too busy with work and that you need someone to look after you, is planning to come from China to take care of you?”
“Exactly!
I’m so worried now!” Hiromi Jounouchi said with a gloomy face, completely at a loss for what to do.
“Don’t worry, I’ll call my dad first to find out what’s really going on.
Letting my mom come over is definitely not okay.” Chen Yu reassured Hiromi Jounouchi and took out his phone to call his family.
Normally, a pregnant wife and a mother-in-law worried about her daughter-in-law not being looked after and wanting to come to help would be quite ordinary.
However, the situation for Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi was quite different.
Not to mention the slew of Ghost Maids in the Necromantic Space, just the Ship-girls who escorted Hiromi Jounouchi to work every day were more than enough to take good care of her.
She clearly did not need anyone to look after her.
Besides, Chen Yu’s mother coming to Japan would lead to a series of problems.
At the very least, Chen Yu would not be able to explain the frequent appearances of these Ship-girls at home; he couldn’t just say he had hired housekeeping staff who all loved to cosplay, right?
Moreover, Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi were not just at home sleeping; their house was only for dinner and everyday life after work.
If Chen Yu’s mother came over, they wouldn’t be able to enter and leave the Necromantic Space as they pleased anymore.
