708 Playing Hard to Get
âWhat does this have to do with us? You were the one who was exposed,â the tattooed man said.
âHow can your wife blame us for you bringing your sister-in-law out?â
âWhen the fire arrives, the flames will burn everyone,â Lin Yi said, âItâll be late if you donât leave now.â
âWhat a braggart,â said the tattooed man.
âWe are at Huaqing Lake. Who can possibly control us?â
âThen letâs wait and see. Bye.â
Lin Yi waved his hand. âLetâs go. Letâs continue fooling around somewhere else.â
The few of them went back to change their clothes. Before nine oâclock, they walked out of Huaqing Lake and prepared to go to Metropolis to the night.
However, before they could get into the car, they saw more than ten police cars parked at the entrance of Huaqing Lake.
Dozens of uniformed police officers rushed in. The scene was comparable to a police-style blockbuster.
âUmâ¦â
Li Zhimeng was shocked. âYanyan, is this a coincidence or did your sister send those people here?â
âUh⦠It doesnât seem to be a coincidenceâ¦â
âNo way. Is your sister the chief of police? She can actually send so many people here?â
âNot the chief, the mayor,â said Liang Jinming.
âMayor? Sheâs the Mayor of Zhonghai?â
Liang Jinming nodded.
Gu Nanzhi and Li Zhimeng looked at Chen Yan in surprise.
Her sister was already the mayor of Zhonghai, so wouldnât Yanyanâs familyâ¦
âDonât misunderstand. We grew up together, but weâre not biological sisters.â Chen Yan said with a smile, âMy family isnât that powerful.â
Gu Nanzhi wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.
Now was not the time to discuss who was superior.
âThis person called Lin Yi was very impressive to have such a relationship with your sister.
âMost importantly, he already knows what your sister is like, but he still wants to attend the yacht exhibition on Yawan Island.â
Wasnât he considered a scumbag?
Not long after, the staff from Huaqing Lake were brought out. At the same time, the tattooed man was also escorted out.
âBrother, I told you to leave quickly. Why didnât you listen?â Lin Yi said with a smile.
âF*ck, you f*cking tricked me!â
âYou canât blame me for that. Iâve said everything I ought to have said. A day trip to the detention center. Have fun.â
Chen Yan and the other two girls were amused. Then, they got into their respective cars and drove toward Metropolis.
That night, Lin Yi brought Chen Yan and gang to club until past midnight before sending them back to the hotel.
âBrother-in-Law, are you coming to the ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow?â
âNope, itâs boring,â Lin Yi said, âThis kind of public appearance isnât really my thing.â
âAlright then. Bye, Brother-in-law.â
Lin Yi nodded and left with Liang Jinming.
By the time he returned to Jiuzhou Pavilion, it was already past one in the morning. Ji Qingyan had already fallen asleep. Her sleeping posture was strange, but she was sleeping soundly.
The next morning, Ji Qingyan woke up to find that breakfast was ready.
âMister Lin, youâre not bad. Youâve actually prepared breakfast.â Ji Qingyan stood on the second floor and said with a cute look in her eyes.
âI canât help it. Iâve always been so outstanding.â
Ji Qingyan scrutinized Lin Yi. âDonât tell me youâre here to make up for what you did last night.â
âMy heart is with you. Thereâs nothing I need to make up for.â
âHeheâ¦â
Ji Qingyan smiled. It was embarrassing to flirt so early in the morning.
âWait for me. Iâll go wash up then come down for breakfast.â
âGo, go.â
Ten minutes later, Ji Qingyan walked downstairs with her headband and fluffy slippers to have breakfast with Lin Yi.
âDo you have any plans for the live stream today?â
âNo, I am a bit busy these few days.â Lin Yi sighed.
âNext Monday, thereâs a semiconductor industry meeting in Meiguo. They invited me to participate. It lasts for four days. I donât really want to go, but I canât reject the invitation. Itâs so annoying.â
âIsnât this serious business? Whatâs with the hesitation? You have to go.â
âIâll be gone for four days. I canât bear to leave you, so I wonât go.â Lin Yi said as he ate.
âNowadays, if the distance between you and me is greater than ten meters, I wonât even be able to sleep.â
âWhy are you talking about this so early in the morning?â Ji Qingyan blushed.
âEven if you canât bear to leave, you have to go. This is work. You canât always be a hands-off boss. You have to be more serious. Otherwise, how can you set an example for the people below you?â
âYou have a point,â Lin Yi said, âWhy donât you ask to join me?â
âUhâ¦â Ji Qingyan hesitated for a moment before apologizing.
âI donât think thatâs possible. The second phase of the Wangjiang Dock project has just started. Moreover, the project in the suburbs is about to kick off. I really canât go with you.â
âSighâ¦â
Lin Yi sighed and cursed in his heart, âItâs because youâre so busy that I invited you.â
âIn that case, Iâll go myself.â
Ji Qingyan touched Lin Yiâs face sadly. âItâs only four days. Youâll be back soon. Iâll wait for you at home. Iâll miss you too, so be good.â
âBut I still canât bear to leave you. What am I to do?â
âAiya, youâre already so grown up.â
Ji Qingyanâs face turned even redder. She realized that Lin Yi was even more clingy than her.
Indeed, every man was hiding a little boy in their hearts.
He also needed to be protected.
Mua!
Ji Qingyan planted a kiss on Lin Yiâs cheek. âBe a good boy and focus on your work.â
âJust like that?â Lin Yi said, âYou have to kiss me a few more times, or else I wonât go and the company wonât progress.â
She stomped her feet in embarrassment. âArenât you bullying me?â
âI donât care. Itâs up to you.â
âAlright, alright, alright. Iâll kiss you.â
Ji Qingyan kissed Lin Yiâs cheek a few more times. âAre you satisfied now?â
âNot bad, not bad.â Lin Yi said with satisfaction, âWait for me at home. Iâll try to come back quickly.â
âYes, yes.â Ji Qingyan nodded with a smile, her eyes filled with happiness. âSince you wonât be streaming today, do you have any other arrangements?â
âIâm going to the company to take a look around. I have to put the phone system on the agenda as soon as possible. I canât delay it anymore.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYouâre right. As the boss, you still have to show your face.â Ji Qingyan smiled.
âI reckon that other than the companyâs executives, the ordinary employees donât even know what their boss looks like.â
âUsually capable people are very mysterious. Itâs also convenient for me to visit incognito.â
âI think youâre just pretending to be weak.â
âThatâs right. In our jargon, itâs called posturing.â
âStop fooling around. Youâre a mature entrepreneur. You have to be humble, polite, and well-mannered.â
âOnly Mrs. Lin should act like this. I just want to show others know in a high-profile manner that this is my wife.â
âWe havenât registered our marriage yet. Iâm not your wife.â
Ji Qingyanâs face burned. How could he be so flirtatious in broad daylight?
He was stopping her from going to work.
Hmph, this was too much.
