788 Sleeping Under the Same Blanket
âMaybe thereâs alcohol in the soda. I feel dizzy. Iâll rest for a while before leaving.â
âIf youâre not feeling well, donât leave. Stay here tonight. Itâs not like you donât have a room,â Song Minghui said.
Lin Yi secretly gave her a thumbs-up. His future mother-in-law was quite sensible.
âIâm sorry, itâs my first time here, but Iâll have to trouble you.â Lin Yi said awkwardly.
âWeâre family. Whatâs so troublesome about that?â Song Minghui said.
âItâs not easy for you to come here. Donât leave tonight. You can stay anywhere you want.â
âThatâs right. The two of you usually live together anyway, so why canât you do so here?â Ji Antai said.
âWe normally just have dinner together at night. After that, we go back to our separate homes. We donât stay together,â Ji Qingyan explained.
âYour mother and I have been to your place several times. Every time, we didnât see anyone home and even called you. Back then, you even claimed that you were at home. I want to know where you went in the middle of the night.â
Ji Qingyan blushed. âThat, thatâs not what you think. I only go to his place for a meal occasionally.â
âYes, yes, yes, just occasionally. Thirty days a month, not as often as you think,â Lin Yi said.
âWhat nonsense are you spouting?â Ji Qingyan pinched Lin Yiâs waist angrily.
âI donât know how to lie. You only come over for 30 days a month.â
âGirl, you only know how to deceive yourself and others,â Song Minghui said.
âI may be old now, but I know about you young people. Youâre already so old. Thereâs nothing to be embarrassed about. Iâve already tidied up the room for you, so youâll stay here tonight.â
âThank you, Auntie. Iâm a little sleepy now. Iâm going back to my room to rest.â
âGo and rest if youâre tired. Iâll send some fruits and tea over.â
âAlright, then I wonât talk to you anymore. We can continue tomorrow night. Letâs have a heart-to-heart talk then.â
âAlright, alright, alright. Come here for dinner at night. Itâll save you two the trouble of cooking.â
âThen I wonât stand on ceremony with you, Auntie. Iâll definitely come often in the future.â
âWeâre family now. Thereâs no need to be polite.â
After saying that, Song Minghui looked at Ji Qingyan. âWhat are you still sitting there for? Go back and rest.â
âI want to talk to Dad again.â
âDidnât you stay at home for a few days before this? Havenât you talked to your father enough back then?â
âNo, I have a lot to talk to my dad about.â
âBut I have nothing else to say to you. Go and rest. You still have to work tomorrow.â
She was speechless.
Lin Yi went to the second floor of the villa.
Ji Qingyanâs room was much more tender and warm than the room in Jiuzhou Pavilion.
Invisibly, there were also hints of her past.
One wall in the bedroom consisted of a large row of bookshelves.
There were all sorts of certificates and photos of Ji Qingyan when she was young.
There were even a few very old stuffed animals that had been washed until they lost their color. They were all quietly placed by her bed.
This was the place where Ji Qingyan grew up, and every corner seemed to be filled with memories.
Crackâ¦
Ji Qingyan walked in from the back and closed the door.
Just as Lin Yi was about to speak, he felt Ji Qingyanâs hand reach to his waist and pinch him hard.
âWhy are you pinching me? I didnât provoke you.â
âYou still have the cheek to say that? You did it on purpose.â
âWhat do you mean? I donât understand what youâre saying at all.â
âStop pretending!â Ji Qingyan put her hands on her small waist and was about to say something.
âYou just want my mother to let you stay here and arrange for the two of us to stay in the same room so that you can take advantage of me.â
âWhat are you talking about? I didnât say I wanted to sleep with you. If you donât want to sleep with me, you can go to another room. Your family has so many rooms. Thereâs no need to follow me here.â
âThis is my room. Why am I the one who has to move out?â
âBecause my future mother-in-law has arranged for me to stay here. If you donât want to stay, you can leave. You can even return to Jiuzhou Pavilion. In short, no one is stopping you.â
âLin Yi, Iâll strangle you to death.â
Ji Qingyan threw herself on top of Lin Yi, and the two of them began wrestling on the bed as Ji Qingyan shed all pretenses of a lady.
After a while, Ji Qingyanâs hair was in a mess and she was drenched in sweat.
Even so, she was still pleasing to the eye.
âI canât be bothered with you. Iâm going to take a shower.â
âI want to go too.â
âYou donât shower when youâre at home, but you want to shower when youâre here. Youâre up to no good.â
âItâs good that you know. Itâs meaningless if I have to say it out loud.â
âHmph.â
...
The two of them took turns showering before returning to bed to rest.
This was not the first time they had slept on the same bed, and Ji Qingyan did not harp on the matter. It was very natural to them.
To her, this was also a very enjoyable experience.
The next morning, the two of them went to work together after breakfast.
Lin Yi first sent Ji Qingyan to Chaoyang Group before driving away.
Ring ring ring!
Lin Yiâs phone rang at this moment. It was Li Lin.
âThe company has held an internal meeting to study your proposal. The products sold on the live broadcast will be up to you to decide, but you have to be fast because thereâs only a week before the event.â
âNo problem.â
âRemember to keep your phones on during this period. There are many things that we have to communicate about.â
âOkay.â
...
Lin Yi originally wanted to drive back to the Jiuzhou Pavilion, but after receiving Li Linâs call, he changed his direction and drove towards the Lingyun Group.
On the way, Lin Yi called Qi Xianzhao and prepared to gather the executives of the Lingyun Group for a meeting.
When Lin Yi arrived at the meeting room, he saw that Qi Xianzhao and He Yuanyuan were also present, so he immediately brought up the details of the meeting.
âPresident Lin.â
Seeing Lin Yi enter, the executives stood up and greeted him.
âTake a seat.â Lin Yi nodded, âDonât be nervous, I have some personal matters to discuss with you guys.â
âPresident Lin, please speak,â Qi Xianzhao said.
âHow many poverty-stricken areas has the foundation counted and visited?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âPresident Lin, please wait a moment. My memory might not be accurate. Iâll go get the information.â
The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was slightly plump and stood up to apologize.
The womanâs name was Zhao Yali, and she was the person in charge of the foundation.
Zhao Yali had to return and prepare the materials because the meeting was too sudden and she hadnât prepared anything in advance.
Lin Yi didnât pursue the matter. After all, he was the reason for the intrusion.
âOkay, go ahead.â
The meeting room was very quiet. Lin Yi was silent, and the others didnât dare to make any moves.
âBoss, do you have a new idea?â He Yuanyuan whispered as she sat beside Lin Yi.
