Translator: 549690339
The sedan was driving on the highway.
Yin Qin looked at the text message, his whole being somewhat stirred up.
He had been lazily leaning back in his seat, but now he sat upright in earnest.
Luo Xiaolang glanced at him.
Yin Qin blurted out, “Luo Xiaolang, turn around.”
Luo Xiaolang didn’t oblige.
Yin Qin’s voice raised a notch, “Luo Xiaolang, turn around!”
Luo Xiaolang looked straight at him.
Yin Qin repeated again, “Luo Xiaolang, turn back, let’s return to the hotel.”
“Why?” Luo Xiaolang questioned him back.
“Li Wenjun is not back from abroad yet, I need to go back and help take care of Ji Baixing.”
Luo Xiaolang bit her lip tight.
As they passed a junction that enabled turning around, she drove right past it.
Watching the junction pass, Yin Qin swore out a curse, yelling at Luo Xiaolang, “You missed the turn!”
Luo Xiaolang didn’t respond.
The speed of the car seemed to pick up in that instant.
“Luo Xiaolang, what’s wrong with you!” Yin Qin yelled at her, noticing that something was off about her.
Luo Xiaolang remained silent while pressing down harshly on the gas pedal.
“Luo Xiaolang!” Yin Qin was really alarmed by her abnormal behaviour now.
He instinctively grabbed hold of the car handle, staring at Luo Xiaolang’s emotionless face.
Her expression had turned significantly colder in that moment.
The car was speeding faster and faster.
Finally, they were straight-up racing.
Yin Qin clung onto the handrail in fear, watching as Luo Xiaolang maneuvered the car dangerously, overtaking numerous cars. The other drivers were stunned with fright, leading to chaotic traffic, filled with incessant honking.
Luo Xiaolang didn’t even know why she couldn’t stop.
She felt extremely stifled.
She didn’t know what she was suppressing, she just needed to vent.
And… she really didn’t want Yin Qin to go back.
“Luo Xiaolang, hit the brakes!” Yin Qin shouted in terror at the sight of the incoming SUV, feeling that a collision was unavoidable.
Luo Xiaolang jerked the steering wheel suddenly, perfectly avoiding the head-on collision with the large SUV. She drifted the car around, narrowly missing another sedan that was right behind them. After dodging these vehicles, she slammed on the brakes and the car came to a smooth halt on the side of the road.
Yin Qin was utterly horrified by the whole incident.
But he was also absolutely astonished by Luo Xiaolang’s driving.
This woman was a true gem!
Remarkable.
Luo Xiaolang had stopped the car, but the chaos caused by her reckless driving still lingered on the streets.
Someone was knocking on the car windows.
Luo Xiaolang rolled down her windows to a traffic officer standing in front of her, “Step out of the car and show me your driver’s license.”
Luo Xiaolang opened the car door and stepped out.
Only then did Yin Qin come back to his senses after the ordeal, his heart still racing.
He followed her out of the car.
The traffic officer handled Luo Xiaolang’s traffic violation with stern authority.
At that moment, Yin Qin decided to leave, shouting at Luo Xiaolang, “I’ll catch a taxi, you go back yourself after you’re done.”
Luo Xiaolang watched as Yin Qin hurriedly crossed the road, hailed a taxi, and drove off in the opposite direction.
Her words, “Yin Qin, I don’t want you to go back,” remained stuck in her throat, never voiced.
Luo Xiaolang was getting a serious dressing-down from the police officer.
Luo Xiaolang didn’t argue, she quietly listened.
Eventually…
The police officer said, “Considering your willingness to admit your mistake, I’m not taking you back to the police station. Learn from this. Here’s your traffic violation ticket: 6 points and a 1000 yuan fine. Deal with it at the traffic police department as soon as possible. Also, you’re expected to stand guard and provide traffic assistance here until 7 p.m. You can only leave after you’ve completed this.”
Luo Xiaolang nodded.
She followed the police officer, put on the volunteer vest, and began directing traffic on the street with a traffic baton.
Luo Xiaolang had now become a public figure.
Because Yin Qin had posted about her online, people were beginning to recognize her.
Some people deliberately parked their cars in front of her and asked, “Are you the suit guy?”
Luo Xiaolang did not respond.
But many people recognized her.
Some took pictures of her, some who were slightly crazier got off their cars to take pictures with her, and some even held her and kissed her cheek.
But most of them were women.
Moreover, under such circumstances, Luo Xiaolang didn’t manage the traffic well, instead causing more chaos.
The police criticized her more severely and finally had no choice but to let her go.
Luo Xiaolang sat back in her car.
She fastened her seatbelt, ready to drive away.
Suddenly, her front was surrounded by several reporters.
Luo Xiaolang frowned.
She really didn’t like reporters; she didn’t understand why these people are so interested in other people’s affairs.
The reporters kept her from moving forward.
A reporter was knocking on Luo Xiaolang’s car window.
Luo Xiaolang still pressed it down.
The reporter asked her, “Luo Xiaolang, did you violate traffic rules? That’s why you’re here directing traffic.”
Luo Xiaolang didn’t answer.
“Luo Xiaolang, is Yin Qin not here? You’re not together?”
Luo Xiaolang still didn’t answer.
“Luo Xiaolang, are you and Yin Qin really boyfriends? I just heard that when you were criticized by the police, he just left by taxi. Did you two have a fight?”
No fight.
Yin Qin just went to see Ji Baixing.
Luo Xiaolang felt more and more unlike herself.
She didn’t want to answer any of the reporter’s questions, she closed the car window.
As the car window closed, the reporter hurriedly said, “Luo Xiaolang, just now my colleague said he saw Yin Qin go to Ji Baixing’s fashion design exhibition, what exactly is Yin Qin’s relationship with you, does he still like Ji Baixing?!”
Luo Xiaolang had already closed the car window, and at that moment, she honked her horn hard, then started the car.
Seeing Luo Xiaolang’s demeanor, the reporters hurriedly moved away from her car.
The next second, Luo Xiaolang’s car sped away.
The remaining reporters watched Luo Xiaolang’s departing car with lingering fear, wondering if she would have run over them if they hadn’t moved away.
They were quite frightened.
This woman is not to be trifled with!
Meanwhile, Yin Qin, who had returned to the hotel, kept accompanying Ji Baixing, watching her deal with her work.
Ji Baixin has been living comfortably since she was young, but she does not like the various customs of high society, so she always strives on her own, relying as little on her family as possible. After graduating from college, she opened a studio. The studio’s development did not rely on the Ji Family’s power. Now she has developed the studio quite well on her own. Although it’s not very famous, it has a market, and she can live a relatively affluent life without relying on the Ji family.
Yin Qin just looked at her, accompanied her for a whole day.
From morning to afternoon until the fashion show ended successfully.
Everyone warmly applauded Ji Baixin.
Ji Baixin rarely had a brilliant smile like that, filled with confidence and satisfaction.
Yin Qin quietly watched from the side.
So this is what Ji Baixin is like at work.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed Ji Baixin could have such an expression.
He was a bit lost in thought.
He didn’t notice that Ji Baixin has already come towards him.
Ji Baixin frowned, her voice cold, “Yin Qin.”
Yin Qin snapped back to reality.
How did Ji Baixin get so close to him?
He straightened his back to appear nonchalant, although his body was stiff, it was obvious.
Ji Baixin looked at how Yin Qin was, there was a moment of silence.
She then spoke with an impatient tone, “Why haven’t you left yet?”
Yin Qin knew Ji Baixin would dislike him.
He quickly took out his phone and showed Li Wenjun’s message to Ji Baixin.
Ji Baixin’s eyes flickered.
“I’m just doing someone else a favor.” Yin Qin put down his phone and said naturally.
“No need, I can take care of myself. You can leave.” With that said, Ji Baixin limped away.
Yin Qin grabbed Ji Baixin’s arm.
Ji Baixin shot him a fierce look and pushed him away.
Yin Qin, however, forcefully held her up just as he had done that morning coming out of the hospital. He proclaimed, “Stop acting tough, Ji Baixin! If you push me away again, I will carry you whether you believe it or not.”
His voice was authoritative.
Ji Baixin seemed to be taken aback for a moment.
Then she said, “Yin Qin, don’t you find yourself annoying?”
“I know.” Yin Qin admitted effortlessly “I know I’ve never been a good person in your eyes, and as I take it, since I’m already awful, why should I hide it? If you won’t walk, I swear I’ll carry you!”
Ji Baixin gritted her teeth.
They were surrounded by people. With some of her colleagues present, making a scene with Yin Qin would only embarrass her.
Yin Qin, on the other hand, had never cared about what people thought.
Resisting her anger, she moved her feet.
A smile crept onto Yin Qin’s face.
It was a rare moment of obedience from Ji Baixin.
He guided her out of the hotel.
They walked slowly, looking rather intimate.
Though the fashion show was small, there were some reporters who naturally snapped photos of them.
Yin Qin helped Ji Baixin into the back seat of his car.
He had left Luo Xiaolang’s car, taken a cab to the hospital, and brought his own car. He knew he would have to drive Ji Baixin home.
Yin Qin drove slowly and steadily.
This was a marked contrast to his usual driving style.
Glancing into the rearview mirror, Yin Qin asked Ji Baixin, “Are we going to the Ji Family?”
“No.” Ji Baixin gave him an address.
Yin Qin, smiling, asked, “Are you living with Li Wenjun?”
Ji Baixin looked up at him, and said simply, “Yes.”
Yin Qin’s smile remained.
He seemed unfazed.
He asked, “Are you two getting married?”
“No.” answered Ji Baixin frankly. “Right now, Wenjun is at the peak of his career and I’m in an upward trajectory in mine. We don’t want to disrupt our respective works by marrying.”
Yin Qin nodded, “That makes sense. Both of you are mature people who have established careers.”
Not like him.
Not like him at all.
If the partner was Ji Baixin, he wouldn’t hesitate for a second to marry her.
Unusually, Ji Baixin didn’t retort against Yin Qin.
Silence settled within the car.
They arrived at the parking garage of the residential area Ji Baixin had mentioned.
Yin Qin helped her out of the car.
Ji Baixin originally wanted to refuse, but didn’t want to engage with Yin Qin, so she let him guide her into the elevator and to the place where she and Li Wenjun lived. He then helped her onto the couch.
Upon setting Ji Baixin down, Yin Qin took his time leaving. He casually examined their house.
It wasn’t big, and there wasn’t much furniture. Maybe because they were both designers, the home decoration had a unique aesthetic. It seemed different from a traditional home and it lacked the warm feeling of a home.
After surveying the place, Yin Qin asked, “Do you have any water?”
Ji Baixin replied after a pause, “There should be some bottled water over there. You can find it.”
Yin Qin took a while to find it. As he opened the water, he asked, “You guys don’t boil water at home?”
“We don’t have time.”
“Busy?”
“Basically.” Ji Baixin responded casually.
Both she and Li Wenjun stayed busy.
When they got particularly busy, they seldom saw each other.
“Don’t you eat at home?” Yin Qin asked, noticing the open-style kitchen didn’t even have a single pot.
Ji Baixin nodded, not wishing to elaborate. She turned to Yin Qin, “You can leave now, I want some rest.”
“With Wenjun not around, how will you take care of yourself?”
“I’m not as fragile as you believe.” Ji Baixin retorted, her tone cold.
She was probably annoyed with him.
He indeed had gone a bit too far.
It was precisely when he was planning to leave.
The phone suddenly rang.
Yin Qin looked at the incoming call and answered, “Xiaolang.”
“Yin Qin, there are journalists all around my house.” Luo Xiaolang said, “What should I do?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll come right away, don’t take any action.” Yin Qin was a bit excited.
“Alright.”
After hanging up the phone, Yin Qin didn’t linger. He said to Ji Baixin, “I’m leaving.”
Ji Baixin didn’t reply.
Yin Qin turned around.
“You and Luo Xiaolang…” Ji Baixin started to say something and then stopped.
Yin Qin looked at her.
Ji Baixin said, “She’s quite nice, don’t let her down.”
Yin Qin chuckled, his smile was rather cold, “Rest assured, I have no intention for you. I’m only taking care of you because Xiaolang bumped into you today and I feel a little guilty. Since I’ve chosen to let go, I won’t cling onto you.”
Leaving those words behind, Yin Qin left.
Ji Baixin watched Yin Qin’s retreating figure.
She stared blankly.
After a while, she picked up her phone and dialed.
The call was answered at the other end, “Baixin, I heard you had a car accident.”
“Yes.”
“How is it, is it serious?” The other side seemed very concerned.
Ji Baixin said, “Just some skin abrasions, the doctor said it’s nothing major and I’ll be fine after some time.”
“I’m too busy to come back, I let Yin Qin help me take care of you. Or how about you go back to the Ji family for a few days? As soon as I finish my work, I’ll come back immediately.”
“Wenjun.” Ji Baixin called him, “Aren’t you worried about Yin Qin getting close to me?”
The other side seemed to pause for a few seconds, then laughed and said, “Because I trust you. If you and him could be together, you would have been together a long time ago, why wait till now? I couldn’t be more reassured about you two.”
Ji Baixin listened in silence.
Li Wenjun seemed to have sensed Ji Baixin’s emotions, and he said, “Baixin, I miss you too, and I want to come back right away, but you know this opportunity is very rare for me, I fought hard for it. As soon as I finish, I’ll fly back immediately, alright?”
“Yes.”
“I love you.” Li Wenjun said.
Ji Baixin echoed, “I do too.”
She hung up the phone.
She seemed a bit startled.
Turns out, time does change a lot…
Yin Qin hurriedly rushed to Luo Xiaolang’s house.
Luo Xiaolang couldn’t even drive into the garage, as journalists had her tightly surrounded.
When Yin Qin arrived, it was clear that Luo Xiaolang was on the verge of losing it.
Conflicts with journalists were a common occurrence for him, and the journalists had gotten used to it. But if Luo Xiaolang actually started fighting them, there’s no telling what would happen next.
He quickly got out of the car.
As soon as he got out, a group of journalists swarmed him and surrounded him tightly.
Meanwhile, Luo Xiaolang also got out of the car.
Yin Qin pushed through the journalists, walked over to Luo Xiaolang’s side.
A journalist shouted, “Yin Qin, you and Ji Baixin were seen together, you two seemed very affectionate. Are you reigniting an old flame with her?”
Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang struggled to enter the neighborhood complex.
“We heard that Li Wenjun often goes abroad for business trips, and Ji Baixin and Li Wenjun are often separated. is Ji Baixin lonely and thus turned to you…”
“Say that one more time!” Yin Qin suddenly stopped, and glared fiercely at the journalist in front of him.
The journalist seemed to do it on purpose, he loudly said, “Ji Baixin has been living with someone since she was a teenager, what kind of good person could she be!”
“Damn it, say again who’s not a good person? Who’s not a good person!” Yin Qin was furious.
That moment the other journalists stepped back.
They all knew that Yin Qin was liable to throw a punch at any moment.
Yet, that journalist seemed oblivious to this, he spoke forcefully, “The whole nation knows what kind of person Ji Baixin really is, did she also sleep with you…”
“Bang.” Yin Qin swung a hard punch at the journalist without hesitation.
