Chapter 60: Come Quickly, I’m scared

Lin Yi hid in the corner, not saying a word.

Then, he heard the sound of the door closing, as well as the sound of the door being locked.

Lin 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.

Buzz Buzz…

Soon, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was a voice message from Ji Qingyan.

“Lin Yi, where are you? I’m at the company. Can you come pick me up?”

Lin Yi frowned. Was this little girl not scared silly? She still had the mood to send a WeChat message at this time?

Did she lose her call function?

Before Lin Yi could reply, Ji Qingyan’s call came.

However, Lin Yi did not pick up. He did not want to give himself away.

“I don’t have time. I’m working outside.”

Lin Yi replied on WeChat.

“Can you stop working? I think there’s a bad guy in the company. I’m scared.”

There was a sobbing tone in Ji Qingyan’s voice. She wasn’t just nervous anymore.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi decided not to tease her anymore since she had already realized the seriousness of the problem.

Carrying his egg fried rice, Lin Yi walked towards Ji Qingyan’s office.

Dang dang dang..

“Who are you?!”

Ji Qingyan yelled.

“Let me tell you, my boyfriend will be here soon. Don’t think that I’m afraid of you! Get out of my office!”

Lin Yi could not help but laugh.

He always looked like a grown woman, but he did not think that there was such a side to her.

“Since your boyfriend is coming, I’ll leave first.”

Huh?

The voice outside the door sounded familiar to her, and she immediately realized that it was Lin Yi’s voice!

She hurriedly opened the door and saw that the person outside was Lin Yi.

Ji Qingyan threw herself into Lin Yi’s arms.

“Sob, sob, sob… you’re finally here. I think some bad people came to the company just now. You scared me to death.”

However, Ji Qingyan soon realized that something was wrong.

She let go of Lin Yi and looked at him suspiciously.

“I only just sent you a WeChat message, so why are you already here?”

“Because I’ve been outside the whole time.”

Ji Qingyan’s expression turned from grief to anger.

“It was you standing outside! Why were you scaring me?!”

Lin Yi held up his phone.

“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?”

After being lectured by Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan realized that Lin Yi was doing it for her own good.

“What kind of prank is that? It might have been someone else staying back.”

“Who else has the right to work on the top floor other than the company’s president?”

“You should call me then, but you can’t scare me. I was scared to death just now.”

Ji Qingyan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

She was a little angry at first, but after knowing that Lin Yi was doing it for her own good, she was not angry anymore.

“A workaholic like you won’t listen to others if I didn’t do something serious,” Lin Yi said.

“That’s why I need to teach you guys a lesson.”

“I just want to finish all these documents. I don’t want to push them to tomorrow,” Ji Qingyan said guiltily.

“Oh right, what are you holding in your hand?”

“Egg fried rice.”

When she saw Lin Yi buy supper…

Ji Qingyan’s heart was filled with joy.

It was quite romantic. He even knew that she did not eat upon working overtime.

As they sat on the sofa in the office, Lin Yi opened the fragrant packet of egg fried rice and felt his stomach growl.

He took a big bite and put it into his mouth.

He was exceptionally satisfied.

“Huh Huh?”

Ji Qingyan froze at the desk.

Did he not buy it for her?

Did he not know that she hadn’t eaten yet?

He actually ate it himself?

“Cough cough cough…”

Ji Qingyan coughed lightly.

“Is your throat not feeling well? Drink more hot water.”

“It’s already past nine. I’ve been busy until now.”

“I know.”

“But I haven’t eaten yet,” Ji Qingyan said.

“Don’t you have the little biscuit? I only bought one serving. Don’t try to steal my fried rice.”

“A little biscuit can’t fill you up.”

Ji Qingyan walked over. “Give me a bite.”

“You’re the CEO. How can you just eat egg fried rice?”

“I’m not a fairy. Why can’t I eat egg fried rice?”

Ji 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.”

Lin Yi was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Ji Qingyan to go there to buy egg fried rice.

“This is Aunt Liu’s egg fried rice.”

“Really?”Ji Qingyan’s expression brightened. “Let me try it.”

Lin Yi handed the chopsticks over when he saw how cute she looked.

However, she did not move.

“Why aren’t you eating?”

“Feed me.”

“I don’t want to.”

“No, you scared me just now, so you have to feed me.”

“You’re already an adult, but you’re still acting like a spoiled child. I can’t do anything to you.”

Lin Yi had no choice. He picked up the chopsticks, took a small bite, and fed it to Qingyan.

“Their egg fried rice is still the best,”Ji Qingyan mumbled.

“Give me a piece of ham.

“I want another piece of egg.”

“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.

“Alright, I’m full. Go ahead.”

“You’re full after just two bites?”

“You’ve been out for a whole day. You’re hungry too. I’m going to eat some biscuits.”

“Go ahead. My appetite is not as big as you think.”

“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.”

“Okay, you don’t have to if you don’t want to. Hurry up and pack your things, then we’ll go home.”

“There’s only one document left. I’ll leave after reading it.”

“Do whatever you want. I’ll leave after I finish eating regardless. The decision is up to you.”

“Tch, why are you so chauvinistic?”

Ji Qingyan went back to her desk after complaining. She was going to finish reading the last document while Lin Yi was eating.

However, she didn’t finish reading the last document until after Lin Yi finished eating.

This was because she couldn’t help but look at Lin Yi.

He still came to see her this late at night.

Those people who were lining up to send her flowers must be in the nightclub at this time.

“I’m done. I’m leaving.”

“I’m leaving too.”

Ji Qingyan didn’t plan to finish the last document.

She just needed to come early tomorrow.

With that, she closed her computer and tidied up. She was going to the fitting room to change her clothes and go home.

Ring, Ring, Ring…

Lin Yi’s phone rang, and he saw that it was Qin Han.

“I’ll take care of that Shabi, so you should take it easy too.”

“What’s there to be angry about, Young Master Qin?”

“Haha, you’re so straightforward.” Qin Han laughed.

“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.”

Lin Yi looked up at Ji Qingyan and smiled:

“I have better people around me. Forget about your so-called A-list celebrities.”
