579 Beautiful and Smart
Lin Yi turned around and saw Ji Qingyan standing behind him.
She was wearing a V-neck womanâs half-sleeve shirr, a pair of gray pants, and a pair of boots. She looked like a mature and refined woman.
After not seeing her for so many days, Ji Qingyan was still as beautiful as ever. Everywhere she stood turned into a beautiful scene.
âHuh? How did you know I was here?â
At this moment, Lin Yi was acting like an Oscar-winning actor.
Surprise, shock, disbelief, joy, and more than twenty other complicated expressions appeared on his face.
He could be said to be the top figure in the microexpression world.
âI was shopping here and happened to pass by. Then, I saw you.â
Ji Qingyan was also very calm, but her expression betrayed her.
This place was the commercial street of the university. Other than restaurants, there was only the night market here. What was she shopping for?
âI havenât from you in so many days I thought you went missing.â
âMaybe I was giving you some time to deal with your complicated relationships.â
Ji Qingyan held her head high, her tsundere ponytail raised into a beautiful arc.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you on your period?â Lin Yi said speechlessly.
âI just travelled with my colleagues and was doing my own thing. What could happen between to us? Moreover, sheâs already clarified this matter. How can you still suspect me?â
âIn that case, donât you know how to avoid arousing suspicion?â Ji Qingyan argued.
She already believed that Lin Yi wouldnât fool around with other women.
She was just a little angry that he hadnât looked for her for so many days.
âA righteous person isnât afraid of a crooked shadow,â Lin Yi said, âBesides, didnât I resign? I just didnât want someone to be jealous.â
Ji Qingyan flicked her ponytail. âIâm not jealous.â
âThatâs right.â Lin Yi said.
âThink about it. Even if I was fooling around with another woman, itâs probably because I got tired of you. Weâve been stuck at the kissing stage, and Iâve not even gotten to second base yet. What is there to even fool around with?â
âWhat nonsense are you spouting?â
Ji Qingyan skillfully grabbed the soft flesh on Lin Yiâs waist and pinched it. âThere are so many people here. Canât you be more serious?â
âIâm telling the truth.â
âThen why havenât you been looking for me these past few days?â Ji Qingyan was displeased. âIf I hadnât looked for you, would you have abandoned me?â
âIâve been dealing with Huayin Group for the past few days. I just finished work today and was thinking of picking you up from work tonight.â
âEven if you didnât have time to see me, you could have called. You just didnât want to look for me.â
âI canât contact you at such a tense time. If they dig up my phone records, theyâll find out that weâre related. If they secretly attack Chaoyang Group, you wonât be able to withstand it, so I had to attract all the firepower to myself,â Lin Yi said.
âSigh, the past few days have been too difficult. If you can help me deal with the companyâs matters, Zhao Mo and the others definitely wonât be able to last long. Itâs difficult for two fists to fight four hands. In the end, Iâm the one who took on everything.â
There was a hint of guilt on Ji Qingyanâs face.
âIâm being petty.â
âItâs okay, itâs not your fault.â Lin Yi said, âYouâre not happy about this, so itâs normal for you to be jealous.â
âAre you really not angry?â
âWho am I supposed to be angry at? I canât be angry with you, right?â
Muah.
Ji Qingyan planted a kiss on Lin Yiâs cheek. âThis is your reward.â
âDonât kiss my face all the time. Thereâs still a mouth. You have to distribute it evenly.â
âThatâs good enough. What if someone sees this?â Ji Qingyan looked around and changed the topic. âIs this the shop youâre opening?â
âYes, Iâve bought everything. Iâm preparing to clean up. After a simple cleaning, Iâll be able to open for business.â
âLetâs do it together.â
âNo, Iâll do it. Otherwise, youâll be covered in dust.â
âIsnât that bound to happen when youâre working?â Ji Qingyan laughed heartily. âBy the way, the way you rode your tricycle just now was so comical.â
âIâll take you for a ride later. Do you want to try it?â
âSure.â
âWonât you be embarassed?â
âItâs alright. I think itâs quite interesting. Iâve never sat on one before,â said Ji Qingyan. âBut I have to finish the work at hand first.â
The two of them carried out everything in the tricycle.
Ji Qingyan looked around. âThe renovation work done here is pretty good.â
âI called Wang Tianlong and asked him to get someone to clean it up, but the tables and chairs have to be replaced.â
âThat depends on what style you prefer.â
âThe customerâs here arenât high-income. You can treat this like a normal salaryman restaurant. Although you donât lack money, you still have to control the cost. It wonât be good if you canât make ends meet.â
Ji Qingyan was a typical businessman. No matter how much money she had in her pocket, she would always work hard to earn more.
âThatâs true, but thereâs no point in doing the same thing as everyone else.â Lin Yi took out the menu. âLook, I already set the price.â
âHuh? What are you thinking? A plate of egg-fried ricecosts 189 yuan? Who can afford this? Even the egg-fried rice at the Peninsula Hotel is not that expensive.â
âExactly.â Lin Yi looked at her. âYou can eat my food for free, but others have to pay a price.â
âLetâs be serious,â Ji Qingyan replied sheepishly.
âI still think that the price of 189 is a little expensive. Other than that, the other items are also ridiculously expensive. The students around here donât have much money.â
âWhat youâre saying makes sense.â
Lin Yi was helpless. He didnât want to set such a high price.
âIt was the fucking system that forced me.â
âIf that makes sense, why are you still doing this?â Ji Qingyan retorted.
âI think you just want to hide yourself and not entertain the guests.â
âIf it really doesnât work, I might have to sell my body.â
She slammed the table. âHow dare you?!â
âThen what should I do? I donât want to change the price,â Lin Yi said, âYouâre the lady boss, you should think of a way to solve it.â
Ji Qingyan was in a great mood when she heard him address her as Lady Boss.
âThen, we can only take the high-end route.â
âChange all the tables and chairs to the luxurious kind and use the best ingredients available. For example, for this egg-fried rice, in addition to eggs and rice, sea cucumbers and abalones can be added. You can also launch a set meal and give a soup and drink along with it. In short, add all the goodies to it to make your guest feel that itâs worth it.â
Ji Qingyanâs words gave Lin Yi a new idea. This seemed feasible!
Lin Yi pinched Ji Qingyanâs face, which was as soft as dough. âThis will work. Why didnât I think of it?â
âHmph, itâs because Iâm beautiful and smart. Hurry up and praise me.â
âYes, yes, yes. Youâre so so beautiful and smart. Come, let me kiss you. Iâll give you a reward.â
