In the room.
Yin Qin stared dumbfounded at Luo Xiaolang.
Luo Xiaolang was also a bit dumbfounded at that moment.
She didn’t plan to hit Yin Qin, her actions just now were merely an instinctive reaction.
She watched as Yin Qin’s nose kept dripping blood, seemingly not realizing what he had done to get punched.
Luo Xiaolang turned around, pulled off a sheet of paper and said, “Wipe it.”
Yin Qin snapped back to reality, grabbed the paper and covered his nose, then yelled, “Luo Xiaolang, are you itchy to hit someone?!
Luo Xiaolang said nothing.
“Tell me, why did you hit me, who did I bother!” Yin Qin glared at Luo Xiaolang.
Luo Xiaolang didn’t know what to say either.
In reality, Yin Qin posed a threat to her, leading to her punch, but Yin Qin had only done so because she tried to grab his phone to protect himself. That left her with the problem of explaining why she wanted his phone.
She bit her lip, refusing to say anything at all!
Yin Qin’s anger grew, he gritted his teeth and said, “Luo Xiaolang, can’t you tolerate me?!”
“Yes!” Luo Xiaolang had also lost her patience.
She abruptly stood Yin Qin up.
With a huge force, Luo Xiaolang yanked Yin Qin up from the sofa and pulled him towards the door.
Yin Qin resisted.
But Luo Xiaolang’s strength was astonishingly large, he couldn’t move at all.
He was thrown out of the door by Luo Xiaolang.
“Luo Xiaolang, you ungrateful wretch, kicking down the bridge after crossing the river, I’ve kept you company all afternoon, and you’re throwing me out just like that, you heartless…”
“Bang!” The door had been shut.
Damn it!
Yin Qin was absolutely furious.
He rubbed his extremely painful nose while tightly pressing to stop the nosebleed.
He pressed the elevator button and left.
Just as he exited the elevator.
He saw Song Zhizhi pushing Ji Baijian in her wheelchair from the elevator, they seemed to have just returned from the Ji Family’s residence.
“What are you doing here?” Song Zhizhi was surprised.
Aren’t you at the Ji Family’s villa?!
Right.
Yin Qin said, “Playing with your little bulldog.”
‘What happened to your nose?” Song Zhizhi asked, looking at the blood-soaked tissue, she too was somewhat startled. “Beaten up by your bulldog.”
“Did you provoke her?”
“Am I crazy? I can’t beat her, why would I provoke her! She just went crazy all of a sudden!” Yin Qin stated, frustrated.
Of course, Song Zhizhi didn’t think Luo Xiaolang would go crazy, the only person with intermittent hysteria was always Yin Qin.
She asked, “Yin Qin, are you feeling lonely?”
“Huh?” Yin Qin looked at Song Zhizhi.
“Your best buddy settled down, your favorite girl fell in love with her ex!” Song Zhizhi sympathetically said, “You’re so lonely that you’ve started playing with my bulldog.” “You’re the lonely one, your whole family’s lonely!” Yin Qin snapped, angered.
What rotten luck he’s having today!
Caught off guard by a ton of public displays of affection.
Caught off guard, hurt by Ji Baixing, the pain felt as if it pierced his heart and lungs.
Caught off guard and beaten up by Luo Xiaolang.
Damn it.
An infuriated Yin Qin stormed off.
As Song Zhizhi watched Yin Qin’s retreating figure, a smile crept up to her lips, she wheeled Ji Baijian into the elevator and murmured, “Sometimes, I do feel sorry for Yin Qin.”
Ji Baijian laughed, “Given that you think it’s hard for him, why were you picking on him?”
“What, you taking his side now?” Song Zhizhi glared at Ji Baijian, “Defending your daughter-in-law, huh?”
“Brother!” Ji Baijian responded. He then added, “At most, he’d be my godson.”
Song Zhizhi burst into laughter.
She couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
If Yin Qin heard that Ji Baijian treated him as such, he would probably be so angry he would jump in the river!
“Madam.” Ji Baijian called her.
“Mhm.” Song Zhizhi was still laughing exaggeratedly, she responded.
She didn’t know when it started, but when Ji Baijian started calling her the refined “Madam”, she had already gotten used to it and even began to find it pleasant.
‘You look nice when you laugh.” Ji Baijian said, his voice particularly pleasant.
Song Zhizhi paused.
She thought Ji Baijian would say something serious, like not to ridicule him, not to tease Yin Qin, or earnestly explain why he treated Yin Qin as a godson…
But.
He just very seriously told her that she looked good when she laughed.
Her heart started beating rapidly.
How could Ji Baijian’s words be so captivating?
Never mind.
Song Zhizhi suddenly leaned in towards Ji Baijian.
In the elevator.
An ambiguous atmosphere lingered.
The elevator went up and down…
Indefatigably.
At the entrance to the Xin family’s villa.
Ji Baili accompanied Xin Zaozao home.
Xin Zaozao spent the day at the Ji family’s house. She thought it would be awkward, but the arrival of Song Zhizhi and the others noticeably relaxed her. Also, though Ji Yunlei, the elder of the Ji family, seemed very serious, he seemed to be very considerate of the younger generation. He knew she might be uncomfortable, so he didn’t appear in front of them very much. Zhang Qingmei spent most of her time with Ji Yunlei, so Xin Zaozao’s day at the Ji family was relatively easygoing.
It was only after everyone else had left that she did, having eaten dinner at the Ji family’s house.
“Zaozao,” Ji Baili called out her name. They stood at the doorstep, reluctant to part.
“Mm,” Xin Zaozao responded, looking at him.
“We’re about to get engaged,” Ji Baili said, serious for a change.
Xin Zaozao nodded.
“After getting engaged, we’ll live together.” “Mm,” Xin Zaozao continued to nod.
She knew.
“You’ve seen my big brother. He won’t live with my parents, and my dad can’t control him, but they’re still traditional. They think the son should live with them, so we’ll need to live with my parents, ” Ji Baili explained.
“Okay,” Xin Zaozao nodded.
It’s okay.
Though she might find it a little difficult to adjust, she didn’t think anything was wrong after interacting with his family today. She believed she could get along with them.
“Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we’ll have our wedding within half a year of getting married. So our family thinks that the engagement ceremony doesn’t have to be too grand. We’ll just invite some close friends and family. What do you think? Will you feel aggrieved?” Ji Baili asked.
“No,” Xin Zaozao quickly replied, “It’s fine as long as you’ve arranged it.”
Furthermore, as Baili had clearly explained, since the wedding would take place within half a year, the engagement ceremony did not need to be too extravagant. On the one hand, they didn’t want to attract too much attention, and on the other, they were indirectly stating that their engagement was for the sake of getting married and that his feelings for her were sincere.
Ji Baili said, each word sounding like a promise, “Zaozao. I will strive to be a good husband, a good father.”
Xin Zaozao’s heart fluttered at that moment.
She admitted, she was moved instantaneously.
She hadn’t thought that far ahead. She had only thought about how getting engaged to Ji Baili meant living under the same roof. She hadn’t even thought about how to be nice to him. She had never thought about… being a mother.
She really wasn’t a very good fiancée. She said, “Baili, thank you.”
Thank you for bringing warmth into my life.
Thank you for giving me a sense of home.
Ji Baili smiled.
He ran his hand through Xin Zaozao’s hair and gently drew her into a hug.
Xin Zaozao rested on his chest.
She could hear his heartbeat racing.
Ji Baili held Xin Zaozao tightly. She was so thin, and when he held her, she seemed so tiny. He didn’t know how someone as petite as her could shoulder such a prominent role in the complicated Xin Group. He thought this woman should be well-protected and well-taken care of.
They hugged for a long time.
The moon grew more and more dim.
Ji Baili let her go.
No rush.
He reminded himself, just one more week, and then they could be together every day, every night.
He said, “Go back and rest.”
“Mm,” she nodded.
“Go inside.” Ji Baili’s lips curled into a smile.
Xin Zaozao nodded again.
Then walked in at a slow pace.
The moment she left, as if suddenly mustering a great deal of courage, she tiptoed and placed a kiss on Ji Baili’s cheek.
Ji Baili was taken aback.
Xin Zaozao had already darted away.
Ji Baili smiled, standing there for a long time after Xin Zaozao had disappeared, only then getting into his car.
Meanwhile, on a balcony on the second floor, a man stood there watching for a long while.
His eyes flickered.
He only felt the ashes fall on his fingertips as he stubbed out his cigarette.
He turned around and walked back into his room.
He thought, as long as she’S happy, that’s all that matters..
