After parting ways with Qin Yingyue, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan returned to the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, Ji Qingyan completely let herself go.
With a swing of her high heels, she took off her dress and lay lazily on the bed.
âI used to think that I was skilled, but compared to Auntie, Iâm still a little lacking. My legs are about to break, but sheâs not tired at all.â
âIâll have to put the fitness thing on the agenda when I get back. The yoga mats at home are going to get really worn out.â
âYou can train your stamina, and do focus on squats, but donât lose any weight.
Otherwise, 1 wonât be able to hold anything at all.â
âSo what? What can you do to me?â Ji Qingyan raised her head proudly.
âI have Auntie Wang and Auntie Qinâs contact details. If you dare to bully me in the future, 1â11 send them a WeChat message and see what happens to you.â
âIâve recorded everything you just said.â
âYou recorded it?â Ji Qingyan said.
âSo be it. I didnât say anything. Do you think Iâm afraid?â
âYou call my adoptive mother âMomâ and my biological mother âAuntâ. This is differential treatment. I have to talk to them about this.â
âUmâ¦â
Only then did Ji Qingyan notice the implication of her words. She hurriedly got off the bed and mounted Lin Yi. Even though she was only wearing her underwear, she did not care about that.
âDelete it now, or 1 wonât stay with you anymore.â
âThis is evidence. Letâs see if you will still act so smug in the future.â
âYou are really something else. Isnât this bullying? Besides, 1 didnât mean that at all.â
âOnly you know what you meant. This is not something for me to argue with you about..â
Ji Qingyan reacted quickly and bit Lin Yi, then snatched his phone away.
Only then did she realize that his phone had run out of battery.
âYou lied to me.â
Lin Yi smiled and patted Ji Qingyanâs butt. âAre you going to take a shower or not? If not, 1â11 go first.â
âYou go first. Iâll pack my things. Weâll go back tomorrow.â
âGo back?â
âWeâve been here for a few days. Weâve already gone to all the must-see places. Letâs go back.â
âWhat happened tonight must have scared you.â
âNo, it didnât. Itâs just that itâs almost New Yearâs Day, and the company still has an annual meeting I have to attend. 1 have to deal with these matters as soon as possible.â Ji Qingyan combed her hair and said.
âWhen weâre not so busy in the future, we can always come back.â
âAlright, Iâll listen to you. Weâll set off tomorrow.â
âOkayâ She nodded.
âGo take a shower. Iâll pack my things first.â
The experience of the day made both of them a little exhausted.
After packing their things and taking a shower, they put on their clothes early and lay down. They then slept until nine oâclock the next morning.
This was already very late for Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan.
When she found out that Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan were preparing to return, Qin Yingyue rushed over early in the morning.
She didnât let the two of them leave and made them stay for another day.
But this time, they didnât go to the mall. Instead, they went to the local scenic area of Doora.
After checking out all the fun places, they successfully ended the dayâs schedule.
At around nine oâclock in the evening, Qin Yingyue sent the two of them to the airport and even wiped away a lot of tears.
Even though she couldnât bear to part with Lin Yi, she couldnât bear to part with Ji Qingyan either.
âAuntie, if you continue to cry, I wonât be able to leave.â
Tears welled up in Ji Qingyanâs eyes. She was a person who constantly started the waterworks, and she could not stand such occasions.
âItâs just that 1 donât know when weâll meet again.â
âHow could that be?â
âHe said that you stayed in Huaxia for a long time before this. You can go when youâre free.â
âButâ¦â
Qin Yingyue wanted to say something but hesitated. Of course, she could go, but she did not dare to look for Lin Yi so openly.
No matter what, she still felt that she owed him a great debt.
There were some things that she had no right to do.
âWhen you go to Zhonghai next time, you must call me in advance. Iâll pick you up at the airport.â
âLet Auntie carry you again.â
âHuh?â
Ji Qingyan opened her arms and hugged Qin Yingyue.
Even though she was Lin Yiâs biological mother, she didnât feel that safe.
It was as if after leaving, they would never return. That was why she could not beat to part.
âWeâre leaving,â Ji Qingyan whispered.
âLetâs go. When you reach Zhonghai, remember to send me a message to tell me that youâre safe.â
âOkay.â
Although he couldnât bear to part with her, he still had to part with her. Lin Yi also had something to say. He wanted to tell her that he had let go of everything that happened in the past.
However, the words could not come out of her mouth.
âMom, weâre leaving. When you arrive in Zhonghai, weâll pick you up and cook for you.â
Qin Yingyue was stunned when she heard Ji Qingyan call her âmomâ.
She did not expect her to call her that.
It seemed that even his sonâs adoptive mother did not receive such treatment.
Qin Yingyue looked at Lin Yi and realized that he was also looking at her with a smile. Then, she cried even harder.
Ji Qingyan was extremely smart. She did what Lin Yi wanted to do but didnât.
She said what he wanted to say but didnât.
At this moment, Ji Qingyan showed her intelligence.
Even though both of them were teary-eyed, Ji Qingyanâs actions had given this parting another meaning.
Everyone did not seem so sad anymore.
The flight from Doora to Zhonghai took more than eight hours, but there was still a four-hour time difference. When the two of them got off the plane, it was exactly nine in the morning.
Although there were still many things to deal with, neither of them was in a hurry.
First, Ji Qingyan went home, washed up briefly, and took a nap before going to the office in the afternoon.
âItâs the new year. Do you have anything to prepare at home so that I can buy it in advance?â Lin Yi asked on the way to the company.
âI donât need anything, as long as you show up on time.â
âHow embarrassing. Iâm going to my father-in-lawâs house for the New Year. If my mother finds out that I went there empty-handed, sheâll scold me.â
âDidnât you prepare a box of ginseng? That gift is coming in handy now.â
âI just realized how sneaky you are.â Lin Yi smiled.
âIsnât there a saying that once a daughter is married, sheâs like water thrown out? I think itâs referring to someone like you.â
âWhat did I do?â
âWhen I was packaging the ginseng, 1 thought about sending it to my father-in-law, but you stopped me. 1 guess you wanted to keep it to give it to him now.â
Ji Qingyan puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and defended herself.
âI was just looking out for you. If I had sent it back then, youâd still be racking your brains for a gift now.â
Lin Yi smiled.
It was too easy to please her dad. Lin Yi could just give him a million yuan worth of fish balls, and heâll be happy all year.
But Lin Yi didnât say that.
Otherwise, it would compromise the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law.
âYouâre so thoughtful. Iâm far inferior to you.â
Ji Qingyan raised her head high, showing Lin Yi her proud side profile.
âIâm telling you, you have to dress up handsomely that day. You can dress up however you like,â she said seriously.
âAlso, from today onwards, skincare products and facial masks have to be used.
Your skin is too dry, so you have to take care of it.â
âItâs not the first time Iâve eaten at your house. Is there a need to do this?â
âThis time, thereâs a big family. All the relatives and younger siblings will be coming. You have to attend in your best state and cover up their limelight.â
Hahahaâ¦
Pfft, she was obsessed with looks!
