Chapter 60 - Come Quickly, I’m scared
n
n
n
nLin Yi hid in the corner, not saying a word.
n
nThen, he heard the sound of the door closing, as well as the sound of the door being locked.
n
nLin Yi crept out from the corner and walked toward the switch again. He did it a few more times, making loud deliberate footsteps in the process.
n
nBuzz Buzz…
n
nSoon, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was a voice message from Ji Qingyan.
n
n“Lin Yi, where are you? I’m at the company. Can you come pick me up?”
n
nLin Yi frowned. Was this little girl not scared silly? She still had the mood to send a WeChat message at this time?
n
nDid she lose her call function?
n
nBefore Lin Yi could reply, Ji Qingyan’s call came.
n
nHowever, Lin Yi did not pick up. He did not want to give himself away.
n
n“I don’t have time. I’m working outside.”
n
nLin Yi replied on WeChat.
n
n“Can you stop working? I think there’s a bad guy in the company. I’m scared.”
n
nThere was a sobbing tone in Ji Qingyan’s voice. She wasn’t just nervous anymore.
n
nThinking of this, Lin Yi decided not to tease her anymore since she had already realized the seriousness of the problem.
n
nCarrying his egg fried rice, Lin Yi walked towards Ji Qingyan’s office.
n
nDang dang dang..
n
n“Who are you?!”
n
nJi Qingyan yelled.
n
n“Let me tell you, my boyfriend will be here soon. Don’t think that I’m afraid of you! Get out of my office!”
n
nLin Yi could not help but laugh.
n
nHe always looked like a grown woman, but he did not think that there was such a side to her.
n
n“Since your boyfriend is coming, I’ll leave first.”
n
nHuh?
n
nThe voice outside the door sounded familiar to her, and she immediately realized that it was Lin Yi’s voice!
n
nShe hurriedly opened the door and saw that the person outside was Lin Yi.
n
nJi Qingyan threw herself into Lin Yi’s arms.
n
n“Sob, sob, sob… you’re finally here. I think some bad people came to the company just now. You scared me to death.”
n
nHowever, Ji Qingyan soon realized that something was wrong.
n
nShe let go of Lin Yi and looked at him suspiciously.
n
n“I only just sent you a WeChat message, so why are you already here?”
n
n“Because I’ve been outside the whole time.”
n
nJi Qingyan’s expression turned from grief to anger.
n
n“It was you standing outside! Why were you scaring me?!”
n
nLin Yi held up his phone.
n
n“Look at yourself. It’s past nine o’clock at night and there’s no one at the company. What if it was not me but someone else? What would you do then?”
n
nAfter being lectured by Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan realized that Lin Yi was doing it for her own good.
n
n“What kind of prank is that? It might have been someone else staying back.”
n
n“Who else has the right to work on the top floor other than the company’s president?”
n
n“You should call me then, but you can’t scare me. I was scared to death just now.”
n
nJi Qingyan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.
n
nShe was a little angry at first, but after knowing that Lin Yi was doing it for her own good, she was not angry anymore.
n
n“A workaholic like you won’t listen to others if I didn’t do something serious,” Lin Yi said.
n
n“That’s why I need to teach you guys a lesson.”
n
n“I just want to finish all these documents. I don’t want to push them to tomorrow,” Ji Qingyan said guiltily.
n
n“Oh right, what are you holding in your hand?”
n
n“Egg fried rice.”
n
nWhen she saw Lin Yi buy supper…
n
nJi Qingyan’s heart was filled with joy.
n
nIt was quite romantic. He even knew that she did not eat upon working overtime.
n
nAs they sat on the sofa in the office, Lin Yi opened the fragrant packet of egg fried rice and felt his stomach growl.
n
nHe took a big bite and put it into his mouth.
n
nHe was exceptionally satisfied.
n
n“Huh Huh?”
n
nJi Qingyan froze at the desk.
n
nDid he not buy it for her?
n
nDid he not know that she hadn’t eaten yet?
n
nHe actually ate it himself?
n
n“Cough cough cough…”
n
nJi Qingyan coughed lightly.
n
n“Is your throat not feeling well? Drink more hot water.”
n
n“It’s already past nine. I’ve been busy until now.”
n
n“I know.”
n
n“But I haven’t eaten yet,” Ji Qingyan said.
n
n“Don’t you have the little biscuit? I only bought one serving. Don’t try to steal my fried rice.”
n
n“A little biscuit can’t fill you up.”
n
nJi Qingyan walked over. “Give me a bite.”
n
n“You’re the CEO. How can you just eat egg fried rice?”
n
n“I’m not a fairy. Why can’t I eat egg fried rice?”
n
nJi Qingyan then added, “There’s a small alley next to the company. There’s a couple inside who sells really delicious egg fried rice. I’ve bought it several times.”
n
nLin Yi was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Ji Qingyan to go there to buy egg fried rice.
n
n“This is Aunt Liu’s egg fried rice.”
n
n“Really?”Ji Qingyan’s expression brightened. “Let me try it.”
n
nLin Yi handed the chopsticks over when he saw how cute she looked.
n
nHowever, she did not move.
n
n“Why aren’t you eating?”
n
n“Feed me.”
n
n“I don’t want to.”
n
n“No, you scared me just now, so you have to feed me.”
n
n“You’re already an adult, but you’re still acting like a spoiled child. I can’t do anything to you.”
n
nLin Yi had no choice. He picked up the chopsticks, took a small bite, and fed it to Qingyan.
n
n“Their egg fried rice is still the best,”Ji Qingyan mumbled.
n
n“Give me a piece of ham.
n
n“I want another piece of egg.”
n
n“Why are you asking people to feed you?” Lin Yi complained, but he still picked up a piece of ham and egg before feeding it to Ji Qingyan.
n
n“Alright, I’m full. Go ahead.”
n
n“You’re full after just two bites?”
n
n“You’ve been out for a whole day. You’re hungry too. I’m going to eat some biscuits.”
n
n“Go ahead. My appetite is not as big as you think.”
n
n“I’m not going to eat anymore.” Ji Qingyan shook her head. “It’s too late. I can’t eat too much. Otherwise, my recent yoga practice will have been in vain.”
n
n“Okay, you don’t have to if you don’t want to. Hurry up and pack your things, then we’ll go home.”
n
n“There’s only one document left. I’ll leave after reading it.”
n
n“Do whatever you want. I’ll leave after I finish eating regardless. The decision is up to you.”
n
n“Tch, why are you so chauvinistic?”
n
nJi Qingyan went back to her desk after complaining. She was going to finish reading the last document while Lin Yi was eating.
n
nHowever, she didn’t finish reading the last document until after Lin Yi finished eating.
n
nThis was because she couldn’t help but look at Lin Yi.
n
nHe still came to see her this late at night.
n
nThose people who were lining up to send her flowers must be in the nightclub at this time.
n
n“I’m done. I’m leaving.”
n
n“I’m leaving too.”
n
nJi Qingyan didn’t plan to finish the last document.
n
nShe just needed to come early tomorrow.
n
nWith that, she closed her computer and tidied up. She was going to the fitting room to change her clothes and go home.
n
nRing, Ring, Ring…
n
nLin Yi’s phone rang, and he saw that it was Qin Han.
n
n“I’ll take care of that Shabi, so you should take it easy too.”
n
n“What’s there to be angry about, Young Master Qin?”
n
n“Haha, you’re so straightforward.” Qin Han laughed.
n
n“What are you doing now? I found a few A-list celebrities. Their bodies and looks are top-notch. You want to come over and have some fun? I’ll make it worth your time.”
n
nLin Yi looked up at Ji Qingyan and smiled:
n
n“I have better people around me. Forget about your so-called A-list celebrities.”
