About two hours later, Lin Yi walked out of Wang Ying’s office feeling refreshed. He went out to buy some glutinous rice balls for Ji Qingyan before returning to her office.
At a little past four in the afternoon, Ji Qingyan finished her work and prepared to spend some alone time with Lin Yi.
“Let’s not go out to eat today. There’s not much food at home. Let’s go to the supermarket. You’re often not at home. I haven’t been there for a long time.”
“Alright, then buy more and bring it to my future mother-in-law’s house. You’ll be staying there for the next few days anyway. It’s useless to leave it at home.” Lin Yi said.
“Let’s bring our own things over, lest she says that we’re freeloading.”
“Yes, yes, yes. My mother did say that about me.”
“They say I don’t eat food from my own home and then go raid their fridge. This time, we’ll bring our own food and won’t eat their stuff. We need to have some integrity.”
“Let’s go.”
Ji Qingyan held Lin Yi’s arm as they made their way to the parking lot and headed to Times Square’s underground supermarket.
Their appearance attracted the attention of many single men and women.
Even though they knew that the two of them were a couple, because their looks were too outstanding, they could not help but steal a few more glances.
“How about steak tonight?”
“My culinary skills aren’t good, but I can still make Western food. Coincidentally, I have a few bottles of red wine at home. We can take the opportunity to drink some.”
“Don’t you get drunk after one glass?”
“Sometimes, when you’re not around, Yuanyuan and I will drink less. Now that we’ve mastered the skills, 1 can drink about half a cup. There should be no problem having a bit.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk...”
Lin Yi smacked his lips. “Since you’ve said so, I have to get you drunk tonight. The opportunity will come.”
“Cut it out, you’re full of bad intentions,” Ji Qingyan spat and pulled Lin Yi to the fresh meat section.
“Is there any A 5 beef?” she asked.
“Yes, it just arrived today.”
“Hmm...”
She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Pack me 10 pieces.”
“Ten pieces?!”
The clerk was stunned for a moment. “Ma’am, we sell high-quality A5 beef here. The average price is about 2,000 yuan a piece. Are you sure you want ten pieces?”
“Yes, just pack me ten pieces.”
“One day is a really unfriendly word. It makes it seem like it’ll never happen.”
Ji Qingyan turned to look at Lin Yi and said coquettishly, “What’s wrong? Do you have any complaints?”
“No, no, no. How can that be? No matter how long it takes, I’m willing to wait. A pure person like me focuses on spiritual love. Physical pleasure is something I despise.”
“I understand what you’re saying. I’ll let your spirit continue to grow stronger.”
Lin Yi,”...”
Lin Yi forced a smile and drove home.
There was one thing that he could not pinpoint.
Was Ji Qingyan resisting this matter because she had a knot in her heart, or was it because she could not let go of what happened with Li Chuhan?
If it was the former, it would not be a problem. However, if it was for another reason, this matter might not be easy to handle.
A knot in one’s heart was the hardest to untie.
“Finally home.”
Upon entering the house, Ji Qingyan threw off her high heels and pounced onto the sofa in a relaxed manner.
“My couch is the most comfortable thing in the world.”
“You can lie down. I’ll cook for you.”
“How can 1 do that? I promised to make it for you.” Ji Qingyan stood up and said.
“You’re leaving the day after tomorrow. Leave the food to me for the next two days so that you won’t think about what I’ve cooked when you’re out.”
Ji Qingyan pulled Lin Yi to the sofa and returned upstairs. She changed into her pajamas and slippers and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Lin Yi didn’t have to do anything the entire time as Ji Qingyan took care of everything.
After the dishes were served, Ji Qingyan poured two glasses of red wine and had a candlelight dinner with Lin Yi.
After dinner, the two of them watched TV on the sofa downstairs with Ji Qingyan resting on Lin Yi’s lap.
At this moment, nothing on television seemed to matter.
The most meaningful thing in life was the days when the two of them leaned on each other and spent time in each other’s company.
Lin Yi liked this kind of life. It gave him a sense of reality.
Birds of a feather flocked together.
There were always similarities between the two of them when they were together.
