Chapter 122 - "Who's the child's father? He looks a lot like..." (4)

“But Lu JingYan won’t always like me. He will change in the future.” He would fall in love with Shu Bai, thought Chi Ying to herself.

Hearing that, Zhao Wan almost spit out her milk tea. “Ying, have you had too much poisonous chicken soup or suffer from persecutory delusion? I don’t remember you being such a timid person. You should give it a try anyway.”

“Do you still like him?” asked Zhao Wan.

“At least you don’t dislike him and are willing to get closer to him, right?” Zhao Wan tried to persuade her. “You can do as you please, but what about the child? Do you want him to grow up without a father?”

Chi Ying was stunned.

This was a weekend but Lu JingYan never stopped working.

Jiang Chong voluntarily worked overtime with him but not so much for the pay.

With his current position, he no longer needed to worry about having cars or houses. At least he worried about not having a girlfriend.

All these years with Lu JingYan spending days and nights together, the ties between them were way more than just benefits.

When Jiang Chong walked inside of the office, Lu JingYan was burying himself in his work and was frowning slightly.

The décor of the office went with a darker color, making Lu JingYan in his black shirt all the more noble and handsome.

Walking in front of his desk, Jiang Chong said, “Boss Lu, this is some pastries that my mother made. It’s a recipe that was passed down from my family. Care to try some?”

Lu JingYan looked over and saw the colorful gift bag that Jiang Chong was carrying with him. His lips curved and he said, “Mmm. Thank you. Just leave it over there.”

Jiang Chong thought he had heard wrong. Lu JingYan’s voice was particularly tender today and, if one looked carefully enough, there was a slight curve that was almost unnoticeable on his lips.

He couldn't help but said to him, “Boss Lu, you seem to be in a good mood today.”

Lu JingYan did not deny it. He asked in all seriousness. “Jiang Chong, let me ask you a question.”

“Sure.”

“Other than work, what do you talk to others about on WeChat?”

Jiang Chong paused for a little and then replied honestly, “I usually repost message from China Mobile to my friends on WeChat.”

“Why?”

“Because you get free data when you repost. If you are lucky enough, you can get up to tens of G…”

Wait a minute… something suddenly dawned on Jiang Chong, “Boss Lu, you added Chi Ying on WeChat?”

Lu JingYan looked away unnaturally and said, “I didn’t say it was her.”

Jiang Chong snapped his finger in his mind. Looking like that was the case.

Too bad he was just a single person. Here comes the awkward conversation again.

“Ugh… let me think about it.”

With Lu JingYan’s blessing, Jiang Chong sat down and started to look Baidu on his cellphone.

Jiang Chong mumbled something and Lu JingYan casually looked over at him.

Right then and there, his phone beeped. “Lu JingYan, how’s the recovery coming along?”

Lu JingYan’s fingertips paused.

This was the first time she initiated a conversation with him.

“I am good,” he said.

When Jiang Chong looked up, Lu JingYan had an obvious smile on him.

Jiang Chong said cautiously, “Boss Lu, you can try starting with emojis on WeChat.”

Lu JingYan waved his hand. “It’s fine. You don’t need to look it up on Baidu anymore.”

Jiang Chong, “……”

Chi Yu called and said he would be home with Chi YanQing today.

Chi Ying was appreciative of that. Chi Yu and Chi YanQing were busy over the Chinese New Year time frame and was barely home.

She busied herself with Jing Zheng and Chi Cheng all day long and made a table-full of food.

That night, Chi YanQing and Chi Yu arrived at the mansion.

This was the first time that Chi Ying had met her father.

He was very tall with very chiseled features. He had white hair at both side of his cheeks. He looked tired and aged but also exude a sense of fierceness.

Chi Cheng waited with Chi Ying in the front garden for them. He had a solemn look on him and his voice was solemn. “Good evening, Grandpa, Uncle.”

He was almost four years old and was becoming cuter and cuter. Even though the two men had issues but, during this rare time that the family could come together, they showed their tender side and smiled and greeted Chi Cheng.

Chi Cheng responded happily and ran back inside the living room to play with his blocks.
