Chapter 24 - Close the Curtains

n
n
n“Why did you put the coffee back?” Standing upstairs, Ji Qingyan asked.
n
n“When I saw your stockings and coffee together, I instantly didn’t want to drink it.”
n
n“You haven’t been to other women’s homes before, have you?” Ji Qingyan ridiculed.
n
n“How did you know?”
n
n“Women’s stockings are all kept in the refrigerator. This way, they are more durable,” Ji Qingyan said.
n
n“Besides, those stockings are unopened, they’re all new. What are you afraid of? Your thoughts are running wild.”
n
n“Forget it, I’ll have a glass of water.”
n
nSeeing that Lin Yi didn’t drink the coffee in the fridge, Qingyan could not help but laugh.
n
nIt looked quite cute.
n
n“Sure, make whatever you want. I’ll be taking a shower later, it might take some time. My laptop is on the dining table, so feel free to use it.”
n
n“Ok.”
n
nSoon, the sound of running water could be heard from upstairs.
n
nLin Yi was bored, so he got up and walked around the villa. The air was fresh and the scenery was pleasant.
n
nWhen he came yesterday, Lin Yi was still envious of Ji Qingyan’s villa.
n
nHowever, now he didn’t feel that way anymore.
n
nAll of Jiuzhou Pavilion was his, so there was nothing to be envious of anymore.
n
nLin Yi had nothing to do, so he took Ji Qingyan’s laptop and found a movie to kill time.
n
nAbout twenty minutes later, the sound of running water came to an end, and the door opened.
n
n“There’s a new email for you on the computer,” Lin Yi said.
n
nJi Qingyan’s voice came from upstairs. “It should be a business document. Don’t worry about it, just keep doing your thing.”
n
n“It doesn’t seem to be a business email from your company.”
n
n“It’s not a business email?”
n
n“It seems to be a delivery notice from a certain merchant. Your 36D Black Lace underwear has been delivered.”
n
nFor the next ten seconds or so, there was nothing but silent.
n
n“No, don’t worry about it.”
n
nJi Qingyan felt like she was going crazy.
n
nIf It’s been delivered, then it’s been delivered. Why did you use your email to remind me of it?!
n
nWhy did you send the goods at this time?!
n
nAre you trying to kill me?!
n
nIn reality, Ji Qingyan would get this reminder every time she bought something, but she didn’t take it seriously before this.
n
n“President Ji, there’s another email on your computer…”
n
nBefore Lin Yi could finish his sentence, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the second floor.
n
nJi Qingyan ran in front of Lin Yi with a towel wrapped around her body. She grabbed the laptop from Lin Yi and peeked at it.
n
nIt was junk mail.
n
n“It’s just junk mail. Why did you call me?”
n
n“You can’t blame me for this,” Lin Yi said innocently. “I was about to tell you that it was junk mail when you came down.”
n
nLin Yi looked at her up and down. “You didn’t buy something shady, right? Were you afraid that I’d see it?”
n
n“What are you talking about? I’m not the kind of person you think I am.”
n
n“Then why are you so nervous?” Lin Yi smiled. “Did you buy an electric boyfriend?”
n
n“Electric boyfriend? What is that? Can a boyfriend charge?”
n
nUgh..
n
n“Let’s change the topic, let’s not talk about the boyfriend.” Lin Yi said
n
n“You haven’t made yourself clear yet, so why should we change the topic?” Ji Qingyan replied.
n
n“I don’t want to change the topic either, but I don’t mind if you stay naked, Lin Yi said with a shrug.
n
nJi Qingyan lowered her head abruptly and noticed that the clip on the towel was a little loose. It did indeed look like she was naked.
n
n“Don’t look at it so blatantly.”
n
n“It exposed itself. What could I do?”
n
nJi Qingyan also knew that she was in the wrong. Thus, she carried her notebook and went upstairs.
n
nWhen she came down, she had already finished tidying up.
n
nShe was wearing a beige body-hugging dress that accentuated her curvy figure.
n
nHer hair was tied up in a bun and there was a diamond brooch on her chest. One look and one could tell that it was expensive.
n
n“What do you think of this outfit? Give me some advice.” Ji Qingyan asked.
n
n“Why do I feel like you’re not going to a class reunion? It’s more like a beauty contest.” Ji Qingyan said
n
n“That’s exactly what I want. A lot of girls are going. I can’t let them beat me.” Lin Yi said
n
nLin Yi thought about it and realized that Ji Qingyan had a point.
n
nPeople nowadays were very materialistic and judged others by their looks. It was understandable why she was dressed like this.
n
n“I think it’s pretty good. Let’s go if you’re ready.”
n
n“If I remember correctly, you still owe me eight s-squats.”
n
n“Don’t worry, I didn’t forget.” Ji Qingyan’s face was a little red.
n
n“It’s just eight s-squats. I’ll return it now so you won’t have to use it again.”
n
n“Since you said so, I won’t stand on ceremonies.”
n
nWith that, Lin Yi leaned back on the sofa like a grandpa. “Please start your performance.”
n
nJi Qingyan pulled the stool over and was about to start when she suddenly stopped what she was doing.
n
n“Go close the curtains and check if there’s anyone outside.”
n
nLin Yi was speechless. “You’re just doing an s-squat. Why do you make it sound like you’re having an affair?”
n
n“Have you forgotten the last time my dad saw me? My mom called me a few times after the incident, and I’m about to be shamed,” Ji Qingyan said.
n
n“If someone else sees me again, I might as well drop dead.”
n
n“Alright, since you’ve said that, I’ll just work hard and close the curtains.”
n
n“You’re the one who’s having fun, alright?”
n
n“Don’t say that either. As the president of a company, keeping your promise is a most basic character trait you should have.”
n
n“Tsk, you only know how to make excuses.”
n
nLin Yi closed the curtains on both sides of the floor-to-ceiling windows. The brightly lit villa turned dark in an instant.
n
nJi Qingyan held onto the chair, her face slightly red. She twisted her plump waist and did eight s-squats.
n
nCompared to the first time, Ji Qingyan’s movements were much better, and her figure was exquisite.
n
nJi Qingyan’s movements were indeed more attractive than those of the female streamers.
n
n“I’ve fulfilled my promise. We’re even.”
n
n“Ok.”
n
n“Wait for me for a while, then we’ll set off.”
n
nJi Qingyan went into the fridge and took out a pair of black stockings. After this, she put them on her slender legs to accentuate her slender figure.
n
nAfter putting them on, Ji Qingyan looked at herself in the mirror in a smug manner. She was very satisfied with her appearance.
n
n“Let’s go to Zhonghai Hai Luhui.”
n
nZhonghai Hai Luhui was a five-star restaurant that specialized in seafood. It was awarded three Michelin stars in the previous year.
n
nThe taste and consumption were top-notch.
n
nBefore leaving, Lin Yi pointed at the curtains. “Aren’t you going to open it?”
n
n“No, it’ll be dark by the time I get back. I’ll save myself the effort.”
n
nLin Yi nodded and walked out first.
n
nHowever, he stopped as soon as he stepped out of the house.
n
n“Why aren’t you moving?” Ji Qingyan asked from behind.
n
n“I just saw someone I know.”
n
n“You have friends who live here?”
n
n“I just met him yesterday, but you might be more familiar with him.”
n
nJi Qingyan looked up and realized that her parents were standing in the courtyard.
