708 Playing Hard to Get
“What does this have to do with us? You were the one who was exposed,” the tattooed man said.
“How can your wife blame us for you bringing your sister-in-law out?”
“When the fire arrives, the flames will burn everyone,” Lin Yi said, “It’ll be late if you don’t leave now.”
“What a braggart,” said the tattooed man.
“We are at Huaqing Lake. Who can possibly control us?”
“Then let’s wait and see. Bye.”
Lin Yi waved his hand. “Let’s go. Let’s continue fooling around somewhere else.”
The few of them went back to change their clothes. Before nine o’clock, they walked out of Huaqing Lake and prepared to go to Metropolis to the night.
However, before they could get into the car, they saw more than ten police cars parked at the entrance of Huaqing Lake.
Dozens of uniformed police officers rushed in. The scene was comparable to a police-style blockbuster.
“Um…”
Li Zhimeng was shocked. “Yanyan, is this a coincidence or did your sister send those people here?”
“Uh… It doesn’t seem to be a coincidence…”
“No way. Is your sister the chief of police? She can actually send so many people here?”
“Not the chief, the mayor,” said Liang Jinming.
“Mayor? She’s the Mayor of Zhonghai?”
Liang Jinming nodded.
Gu Nanzhi and Li Zhimeng looked at Chen Yan in surprise.
Her sister was already the mayor of Zhonghai, so wouldn’t Yanyan’s family…
“Don’t misunderstand. We grew up together, but we’re not biological sisters.” Chen Yan said with a smile, “My family isn’t that powerful.”
Gu Nanzhi wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.
Now was not the time to discuss who was superior.
‘This person called Lin Yi was very impressive to have such a relationship with your sister.
‘Most importantly, he already knows what your sister is like, but he still wants to attend the yacht exhibition on Yawan Island.’
Wasn’t he considered a scumbag?
Not long after, the staff from Huaqing Lake were brought out. At the same time, the tattooed man was also escorted out.
“Brother, I told you to leave quickly. Why didn’t you listen?” Lin Yi said with a smile.
“F*ck, you f*cking tricked me!”
“You can’t blame me for that. I’ve said everything I ought to have said. A day trip to the detention center. Have fun.”
Chen Yan and the other two girls were amused. Then, they got into their respective cars and drove toward Metropolis.
That night, Lin Yi brought Chen Yan and gang to club until past midnight before sending them back to the hotel.
“Brother-in-Law, are you coming to the ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow?”
“Nope, it’s boring,” Lin Yi said, “This kind of public appearance isn’t really my thing.”
“Alright then. Bye, Brother-in-law.”
Lin Yi nodded and left with Liang Jinming.
By the time he returned to Jiuzhou Pavilion, it was already past one in the morning. Ji Qingyan had already fallen asleep. Her sleeping posture was strange, but she was sleeping soundly.
The next morning, Ji Qingyan woke up to find that breakfast was ready.
“Mister Lin, you’re not bad. You’ve actually prepared breakfast.” Ji Qingyan stood on the second floor and said with a cute look in her eyes.
“I can’t help it. I’ve always been so outstanding.”
Ji Qingyan scrutinized Lin Yi. “Don’t tell me you’re here to make up for what you did last night.”
“My heart is with you. There’s nothing I need to make up for.”
“Hehe…”
Ji Qingyan smiled. It was embarrassing to flirt so early in the morning.
“Wait for me. I’ll go wash up then come down for breakfast.”
“Go, go.”
Ten minutes later, Ji Qingyan walked downstairs with her headband and fluffy slippers to have breakfast with Lin Yi.
“Do you have any plans for the live stream today?”
“No, I am a bit busy these few days.” Lin Yi sighed.
“Next Monday, there’s a semiconductor industry meeting in Meiguo. They invited me to participate. It lasts for four days. I don’t really want to go, but I can’t reject the invitation. It’s so annoying.”
“Isn’t this serious business? What’s with the hesitation? You have to go.”
“I’ll be gone for four days. I can’t bear to leave you, so I won’t go.” Lin Yi said as he ate.
“Nowadays, if the distance between you and me is greater than ten meters, I won’t even be able to sleep.”
“Why are you talking about this so early in the morning?” Ji Qingyan blushed.
“Even if you can’t bear to leave, you have to go. This is work. You can’t always be a hands-off boss. You have to be more serious. Otherwise, how can you set an example for the people below you?”
“You have a point,” Lin Yi said, “Why don’t you ask to join me?”
“Uh…” Ji Qingyan hesitated for a moment before apologizing.
“I don’t think that’s possible. The second phase of the Wangjiang Dock project has just started. Moreover, the project in the suburbs is about to kick off. I really can’t go with you.”
“Sigh…”
Lin Yi sighed and cursed in his heart, “It’s because you’re so busy that I invited you.”
“In that case, I’ll go myself.”
Ji Qingyan touched Lin Yi’s face sadly. “It’s only four days. You’ll be back soon. I’ll wait for you at home. I’ll miss you too, so be good.”
“But I still can’t bear to leave you. What am I to do?”
“Aiya, you’re already so grown up.”
Ji Qingyan’s face turned even redder. She realized that Lin Yi was even more clingy than her.
Indeed, every man was hiding a little boy in their hearts.
He also needed to be protected.
Mua!
Ji Qingyan planted a kiss on Lin Yi’s cheek. “Be a good boy and focus on your work.”
“Just like that?” Lin Yi said, “You have to kiss me a few more times, or else I won’t go and the company won’t progress.”
She stomped her feet in embarrassment. “Aren’t you bullying me?”
“I don’t care. It’s up to you.”
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll kiss you.”
Ji Qingyan kissed Lin Yi’s cheek a few more times. “Are you satisfied now?”
“Not bad, not bad.” Lin Yi said with satisfaction, “Wait for me at home. I’ll try to come back quickly.”
“Yes, yes.” Ji Qingyan nodded with a smile, her eyes filled with happiness. “Since you won’t be streaming today, do you have any other arrangements?”
“I’m going to the company to take a look around. I have to put the phone system on the agenda as soon as possible. I can’t delay it anymore.”
“You’re right. As the boss, you still have to show your face.” Ji Qingyan smiled.
“I reckon that other than the company’s executives, the ordinary employees don’t even know what their boss looks like.”
“Usually capable people are very mysterious. It’s also convenient for me to visit incognito.”
“I think you’re just pretending to be weak.”
“That’s right. In our jargon, it’s called posturing.”
“Stop fooling around. You’re a mature entrepreneur. You have to be humble, polite, and well-mannered.”
“Only Mrs. Lin should act like this. I just want to show others know in a high-profile manner that this is my wife.”
“We haven’t registered our marriage yet. I’m not your wife.”
Ji Qingyan’s face burned. How could he be so flirtatious in broad daylight?
He was stopping her from going to work.
Hmph, this was too much.
