23 I want to pursue you

The newly created EEG machine was the greatest research invention that she had made so far and it will be of great importance to the world once it is announced.

She spent almost 2 years perfecting it.

At that time, she only thought that she needs to make an offer to Luo Zhelan that would be too tempting for him to decline.

He was announced to inherit the Research Organization and the corporation of the Luo Family.

She was a genius, she is capable of anything but creating something that would get his interest will surely take time as it needs to be research and medicine related.

At the same time, she was also taking care of her father and making sure his body does not deteriorate. Just as she was losing hope and was about to decide to just focus on investigating the people who harmed her family, her father who was in a six-year coma, finally woke up.

However, he was in a vegetative state.

He could open his eyes and wake up from time to time but he was in a state of complete unconsciousness.

He has no awareness of his environment.

There's no difference between when he was in a coma and a vegetative state.

Jiang Yue knew that if her father won't recover from this state, a lot of things could happen.

He would unlikely recover his consciousness after being in this state for a few years, or he might live for the next five years but die because of severe organ malfunction.

Then there's a chance he would die because of brain damage in just half a year.

She has a limited amount of time, and anything could happen any day.

So she forgot about getting Luo Zhelan's attention and focused on her father's recovery.

Her research was all about a machine that can exercise a person's consciousness despite being in a state of unconsciousness.

She spent her 2 years researching it and now all her efforts bore fruit.

Her father was already using the machine for a few months and recovery isn't that far off compared to before.

She didn't lie to Jiang Xiu when she said her father had a 60% chance of recovering.

The machine she created was also used as bait for Luo Zhelan.

She could use his people who were under the New Hope Hospital to take better care of her father, and at the same time, the only clue she has about the people who hurt her family is under his protection.

Everything started with her setting a trap for him to jump himself into.

They were only connected because of their selfish intentions.

Luo Zhelan from the start wants this collaboration to go through, or else he wouldn't come to Qingdu City just to discuss it with her.

It had always been other people who free up their time and schedule a meeting just to talk business with him. It was never the other way around for Young Master Luo, yet he had to wait for her and went along with whatever she said.

A machine that could help people in a vegetative state to recover from a state of unconsciousness will surely shock the world.

And Luo Corporation as their collaborated party will surely unprecedentedly grow.

It was just that, a collaboration where they reap benefits from each other.

She never thought he would be interested in her and have the intention to be more than just 'business partners'.

"I want to pursue you, Jiang Yue."

It was a sentence that she least expect Luo Zhelan to say.

She looked at the man in front of her.

It was already deep in the night and there were barely any cars passing through the road of the Shuhui Middle School.

The lights cast a shadow on him, he looked good every time but at this exact moment, Jiang Yue felt he looks handsome stating what he truly felt.

She had been confessed to multiple times despite her trashy reputation simply because she is beautiful, and she had never felt anything of their confessions that were filled with flashy words yet empty of meaning.

But now, with that one sentence from him, she felt her heart throb with a certain emotion.

It was anticipation.

She never thought a day would come when she would anticipate a certain man's pursuit of her.

"What? Miss Jiang can't bear to say a word?" His playful expression was once again back as he teased her and copied her earlier words.

Seeing that she doesn't have plans to say something to him, he added, "Don't worry. I don't plan on doing anything for now as I know you're still not 18 yet."

"Ah, so Young Master Luo is aware that I'm just a student." Jiang Yue stated.

Although she is already a Software Engineer at her age, it still doesn't change the fact that she's still a student now and will be in the following years. She wants to remind him that people will talk when they knew that Luo Zhelan, a business tycoon and the future Director of the Research Organization, is pursuing a student.

She doesn't care what other people think of her but it might not be the case for Luo Zhelan who grew up in an influential family.
