Chapter 2129: Chapter 2129: 2130: Breakthrough Progress

Within less than a minute, Lin Yi put away his phone.

Ji Qingyan had made herself clear, and if he stubbornly clung to his position with the Central Guards Brigade, he’d be stubborn to the point of foolishness.

As for how to handle this matter, he would just have to take it one step at a time.

After all, the secret of the system still needed to be figured out.

“It’s done, I’ve resigned.”

Ji Qingyan was taken aback, as she had just firmly declared she wouldn’t back down.

Then he turned his head, made a phone call, and made Ji Qingyan feel it was too much of a joke.

“Don’t bullshit me, agreeing so quickly, that’s not like you at all.”

“Look at you, not keeping your word,” Lin Yi said:

“I’ve made the call to resign, and you still don’t believe me?”

“Your change of attitude is too drastic.”

“If you don’t say you forgive me, I really will resign.”

Lin Yi looked at Ji Qingyan, his gaze filled with a soft light.

“Compared to you, this special job isn’t worth mentioning at all.”

Ji Qingyan’s heart was moved; she didn’t argue, not because Lin Yi had moved her.

But because Lee Yongjin was dead.

Lin Yi’s actions were mostly for her sake.

Regarding their relationship, Ji Qingyan had no doubts.

But could Lin Yi really give up that special job?

Ji Qingyan wasn’t sure.

Because Lin Yi had always been a maverick, no one knew what he might be thinking.

“Fine!”

Ji Qingyan seemed to have exhausted all her strength to say that one word!

“I’ll trust you one more time!”

“Heh heh, you should’ve done so earlier. From now on, it’s all about the wife and kids at home; we won’t go anywhere. We’ll just stay in Zhong Hai.”

As he spoke, Lin Yi wrapped his arms around Ji Qingyan, hefted her up by her bottom, and lifted her into his arms.

The long-missed intimacy accelerated Lin Yi’s heartbeat, let alone Ji Qingyan’s.

A blush quietly crept over her cheeks, like a bud ready to bloom.

“Let me go.”

Ji Qingyan struggled, but she couldn’t break free from Lin Yi’s embrace.

“Now that everything’s out in the open, I won’t let you go again.”

“What do you mean everything’s out in the open? I still have other things to say.”

“Hmm, like what?”

“I’m giving you a three-month trial period; if you can’t satisfy me, there’s still no chance for us.”

“Three months is fine, but any longer won’t do.”

“Why won’t it do!” Ji Qingyan said unhappily.

“We’re both approaching thirty; I’m waiting to be a dad. This can’t be dragged out too long; we need to put it on the agenda.”

Ji Qingyan’s cheeks were already hot, and they turned even redder when the subject of children came up.

“Don’t even think about it; I have no plans for having kids right now.”

“Whether you want to or not doesn’t matter; I do,” Lin Yi said. “We’ll have a bunch when the time comes, we can afford to raise them.”

“Don’t talk about it anymore; you’re an adult and show no shame at all.”

Ji Qingyan said sternly, “Go to sleep now, I have work tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’m tired too, let’s sleep together, my treat, no need to be polite.”

“This is my house, what do you mean your treat?” Ji Qingyan rolled her eyes and said:

“Besides, I’m not sleeping with you. It’ll be like before, you on the bed, and I on the floor.”

“We’ve entered the observation period, so it wouldn’t be good for us to sleep separately, right?”

“Even in the observation period, we can’t share a bed!”

“Alright, then we’ll just sleep the way we used to,” Lin Yi said.

“But you know I’m a restless sleeper, I never know where I’ll end up in the middle of the night.”

Ji Qingyan’s pretty face filled with anger, “Don’t go too far.”

“I’ve always been this outrageous, you know that.”

“You wouldn’t dare!” Ji Qingyan said, “If you climb into my bed, I’ll never be good to you again.”

“Okay, fair enough, after all, I’m a gentleman,” Lin Yi said. “But I have one condition.”

“What condition?”

“Come back to Jiuzhou Pavilion with me. The house is so big, I’m not used to living alone, and I’m afraid of ghosts.”

“What do you mean by that!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ji Qingyan’s face grew uglier, “Are you saying I’m so ugly that going there would ward off evil spirits?”

Lin Yi: ???

What kind of thought process is this!

“That’s not what I meant. After all, it’s safer for two people to be together.”

“Wait until the observation period is over,” Ji Qingyan said, holding her head high. “Hurry up and put me down, I want to sleep.”

“Alright then.”

Lin Yi didn’t say anything else and put Ji Qingyan down with a chuckle.

Everything that happened tonight could be considered an unexpected gain.

Dealing with Ji Qingyan definitely couldn’t be like dealing with Liang Ruoxu.

Although Liang Ruoxu seemed fiery, once subdued, everything was no problem.

But Ji Qingyan was different; she was like a spring.

The more pressure you put on her, the stronger her resistance would be.

It had to be a gradual process.

And getting to this stage tonight was already a blessing from the heavens.

Thinking this, Lin Yi put Ji Qingyan back on the bed.

“Go to sleep. I’ll sleep on the floor tonight, and you take the bed.”

“Sleep what sleep,” Ji Qingyan retorted petulantly.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to sleep?”

“I’m laying out the quilt for you, otherwise you’re going to sleep on the cold floor!”

“Heh heh, since President Ji is making the move, I won’t stop you.”

Ji Qingyan’s movements were swift, and she quickly made up the bed for Lin Yi, then the two of them lay down separately.

The long night dragged on, and the moonlight spilled over them, silent for a long while.

For both of them, it was destined to be a sleepless night.

The next morning, Lin Yi got up feeling refreshed, doted on Ji Qingyan for a good while, and then they brushed their teeth and washed up, and had breakfast before going to work together.

After dropping Ji Qingyan off at her workplace, Lin Yi didn’t rush off. He parked the car to the side and returned a call to Liu Hong.

Since hanging up the phone yesterday, he had sent a series of messages, none of which Lin Yi had replied to.

He had to talk things out properly with him.

“What’s up with you, lad? Out of the blue, you say you’re not going to do it anymore,” Liu Hong spoke loudly as the phone connected.

“My wife forbade it, so I used a delaying tactic,” Lin Yi said. “However, unless there’s something very troublesome, you should assign tasks to someone else. Don’t want to end up divorced and lose my child.”

On the other end, Liu Hong was silent for a few seconds, “I understand, the team’s tasks are indeed a bit risky, I know about your injuries.”

“Don’t make it so sentimental, a tiny scar the size of a bowl on Little Ji Ji doesn’t require such drama.”

“How about this, I’ll transfer you to the research institute, it’ll be just right to take Li Hang’s position.”

“Don’t bother, Brother Li is a good guy. When the time is right, bring him back, don’t let him become disheartened,” Lin Yi said. “As for me, you don’t need to worry. I have plans to go to the island in the future. I don’t want to go to a research institute.”
