Chapter 903 Caught Off Guard

Qiao An was caught off guard, subconsciously nodded and admitted, and later realized that she had exposed her privacy, and her face flushed with embarrassment.

Betty's eyes lit up, looking extremely excited.

"Great! I have a great idea, baby!"

I don't want to hear from you! Nothing good!

Joan couldn't help roaring in his heart.

Sure enough, Ms. Betty's next remarks made Joan dumbfounded and couldn't believe her ears.

How could this woman have the nerve to say such shameless remarks?

It's just a wonder!

Professor Moriarty couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard Betty's shameless and outrageous idea. He seemed to think that it was particularly funny for his mistress to say such strange remarks.

Joan finally recovered from the shock, and had to admit that, as an "old bear child", Ms. Betty's fuss had exceeded his tolerance limit. If she continued to get along with this kind of woman, he might go crazy .

Thinking of this, he didn't even bother to say goodbye, turned around and left the living room in a hurry.

Betty was so happy that she almost fell off the sofa. She barely stopped her laughter when she heard the door slam shut, and found that Joan was no longer in the living room.

"Huh? Why did the little one run away?"

The smile on Betty's face was quickly replaced by worry, and she asked Professor Moriarty nervously:

"Is it because I joked too much and made the little one run away in anger?"

Professor Moriarty shook his head with a smile, and comforted him, "Don't worry, Joanne is just shy and not really mad at you."

Betty patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Just as long as you're not really mad at me."

"How long can you stay here?"

Professor Moriarty asked his mistress.

"Go back before dark."

"There's only so much time, what can I do..."

Disappointed, the Professor picked up his pipe.

"At least we can have a good afternoon, can't we?"

Betty smiled and snatched the pipe from him.

...

Joan didn't want to stay in a space where Betty Francois Fantini existed, so he left the villa and returned to his laboratory.

When Joan was working in the laboratory, he often missed the meal time because he was too focused.

In order to satisfy his hunger at any time, he prepared a lot of cakes, pies, sandwiches and other convenient and delicious foods in the laboratory.

Furthermore, in order to prevent these convenience foods from spoiling rapidly in the hot summer, he had to spend some green ice and made himself a large "refrigerated cabinet" for storing food.

When Joan returned to the laboratory, the first thing he did was to open the freezer and take out half of a cut melon from it.

He scooped out the iced melon pulp with a spoon and stuffed it into his mouth. The cool and sweet feeling slid down his throat, making him squint his eyes comfortably and chew slowly.

After eating half a chilled watermelon, my mood improved a lot.

He threw the hollowed out melon shell into the trash can, washed his hands, and was about to sort out the experiment log and plan the next stage of research steps, when there was a knock on the door.

Joan frowned, worried that it was the instructor who brought Ms. Betty here for a visit. Although she didn't welcome her very much, she had to force herself to open the door with a smile on her face.

The door opened, and Joan froze for a moment.

There was indeed a beautiful girl with elf blood standing outside the door, but she was not a gray-skinned half-drow, but a countess with a pair of wine red eyes and a charming smile on her lips.

"Uh, Mrs. Josephine...you are here, why didn't you say hello in advance?"

In fact, Joan spent most of the day looking forward to Mrs. Josephine's visit. When she had waited for a long time and no longer had any expectations, the other party suddenly came to the door in such an unexpected way, which made him startled.

"I'm sorry, I originally wanted to surprise you, but now it seems that I was too reckless and scared you instead."

Madame Josephine smiled apologetically.

"It's not too frightening, it's just a bit of a surprise, please come in."

Joan hurriedly invited the distinguished guest in, and hurriedly poured tea for him.

He had never considered entertaining guests at his work place at all. There was not even a dedicated living room in the magic-shaped laboratory, and the shabby hospitality environment made him quite embarrassed.

Fortunately, Mrs. Josephine didn't seem to pay much attention to these details. She pulled a chair and sat down across from Joan's desk.

She opened her handbag, took out a large flat paper box from it, put it on the table, and said to Joan with a smile: "A little gift, you can take it as a snack for afternoon tea."

Joan was first surprised at how this one-foot-long snack box could fit into the Countess's delicate handbag, but he soon realized that the fashionable lady's handbag was actually a storage bag. Only then was relieved.

Through the carton, Joan could smell the aroma of butter and baked apples. When he opened it, he found a whole hot "apple pie".

"Thank you for your gift, ma'am, but then again, how do you know I'm here?" Joan asked inexplicably.

Under normal circumstances, when Mrs. Josephine came to visit, she should go directly to the villa, but why did she bypass the main entrance and ran directly to his laboratory.

"Actually, I have already reached the door of the big house. When I was about to knock on the door, Ruby stopped me."

Madame Josephine explained with a smile.

"She said that there was no smell of you in the house, and then she showed me the way to come here, and I found you right away."

"So that's the case..." Qiao An nodded knowingly.

Diptera insects such as "mosquitoes" are indeed known for their sensitive sense of smell. They can not only track odor particles in the general sense, but also track the heat energy radiated by the human body and the gas exhaled from the mouth and nose, and then look for prey suitable for blood-sucking.

Joan didn't know if Ruby also had a blood-sucking habit like some mosquitoes, but this giant mosquito, which was enlightened by myth, obviously inherited the sensitive sense of smell of mosquitos, and it was greatly enhanced on this basis, otherwise it would not As for those who are far away, just sniff out where they are.

He also remembered that Ruby was good at invisibility, so he touched the "prosthetic eye" subconsciously, turned on "see through invisibility", and looked around, but he didn't find "Miss Ruby".
