Chapter 442: 442: Yin Qin, are you on a business trip with Ji Baixing? (Second update)
The moment Yin Qin spoke.
The whole hall was silent for a few seconds.
The next one, “Yin Qin!”
The voice was deafening.
Yin Bin is so frightened that he hurriedly caresses his wife’s belly.
Don’t get excited.
Don’t get too excited.
“What are you doing going abroad?! What are you doing going abroad at this critical junction?!” Qin Keqin was indignant, her body shaking.
Yin Qin replied calmly, “I’m going to invite the Alice Review Committee to come and judge fairly and impartially on Ji Baixin and Li Wenjun’s…”
“Ji Baixin again, you can’t get over her in this lifetime, can you!” Qin Keqin’s anger was sky-high.
Yin Bin quietly whispered to Qin Keqin’s belly, “Girls, sleep well, sleep well …”
“Mom, Ji Baixin was slandered by Li Wenjun because of me, I am just doing what I am supposed to do, there is nothing like what you are thinking.” Yin Qin explained, not daring to upset his mother, the elderly pregnant woman.
“What does it have to do with you! Ji Baixin and Li Wenjun have been dating for so many years, it’s their feelings. What does it have to do with you, an outsider! Even if you’re right, it’s not your turn! Who do you think you are to Ji Baixin? Ji Baixin has a dad, a mom, and a biological brother and sister, and you do so much for Ji Baixin, do you think her family is dead?!”
Yin Qin pressed his lips together, and he also felt somewhat uncomfortable, so he said in a bad temper, “What I do is none of your business!”
“You think you’re all grown up now, huh!” Qin Keqin rose angrily from the sofa.
Yin Bin quickly tried to hold his wife back.
Fearing she might do something earth-shattering in a moment of carelessness.
“What are you holding me for, let go of me!” Qin Keqin roared at Yin Bin.
“If you want to hit your son, tell me, why are you getting angry, be careful not to hurt the baby girl.”
Qin Keqin thought about it, that was true.
The son wasn’t just hers.
She suddenly sat down on the sofa, pointed at Yin Bin, “Beat him for me!”
“Mom, I must not be your biological son. Damn!” Yin Qin looked at his dad, who really came at him ferociously.
He couldn’t fight with the old man, right?
That would make him, Yin Qin, look unrefined.
But as the saying goes, the best plan is to get away!
He took off running.
Yin Bin watched Yin Qin’s figure.
Qin Keqin was watching too.
Luo Xiaolang, sitting on the side, was also watching.
She was holding a small tiger in her arms, and the small tiger had also woken up because of the noise in the house, opened his round eyes, and started looking around.
“Run after him!” Qin Keqin shouted at Yin Bin.
I’d have to catch up to him first!
Yin Qin, this brat, like a rabbit, turned invisible in an instant.
“Old bones.” Qin Keqin muttered under her breath.
“I’m very young! Damn, don’t you know how well-preserved I am?” Yin Bin was about to explode.
Qin Keqin rolled her eyes.
The more he denied, the more she didn’t want to admit it.
“I’m telling you, Qin Keqin, I can go out now and still be a flower, a hot rose!”
“Then you go out…”
“No, I prefer tofu slag.”
“Damn!” Qin Keqin’s face turned sour.
You are tofu slag, your whole family is tofu slag!
Yin Bin and Qin Keqin were making a ruckus….
After the little tiger woke up and wanted to eat, Luo Xiaolang held the little tiger and went upstairs.
Yin Bin held Qin Keqin, who was showing her claws at him, and signaled with his eyes.
Looking at Luo Xiaolang’s back, Qin Keqin’s nose felt mysteriously sour.
She somehow felt that Luo Xiaolang, a young girl, was very lonely.
“I really want to kill Yin Qin!” Qin Keqin grinded her teeth.
“I believe Yin Qin knows how to deal with it.” Yin Bin said, “Yin Qin’s character is like that, he can’t stand to see Ji Baixin really suffer. If you stop him from meddling with Ji Baixin right now, it’ll become an obstacle that he can’t put down in his heart, it’s better to let him handle it properly. Later, he won’t feel guilty about this woman, and then he can really get along well with Xiaolang.”
Qin Keqin pushed Yin Bin away with one hand.
She knew the reason, otherwise she would never have let Yin Qin out today.
It’s just that when she thought about Xiaolang’s unfair treatment, she couldn’t suppress the power in her heart.
She said, “If the baby in my belly has the same character as you, I’ll jump from the window!”
Yin Bin watched his wife.
Who have I offended?
Can I control the heredity?!
Luo Xiaolang carried the baby tiger back to the room.
Yin Qin was packing his clothes in the coat closet.
Randomly picking out a few, he closed the suitcase.
Wu Meili had called him, saying that the plane ticket was ready and repeatedly asked him if he really wanted to go?!
He didn’t bother to explain.
After packing up his things, he came out of the coat room and saw that Luo Xiaolang was sitting on the bed feeding the baby.
He paused.
He went over and sat next to Luo Xiaolang.
His eyes were fixed on his son, watching him eat peacefully.
Unknowingly, their son was already over 4 months old.
He had already transformed from a tiny wrinkled baby into a chubby, little fat chunk.
His skin was stretched smooth and soft.
“Xiaolang, I might be away on business for 2-3 days.” Yin Qin said to Luo Xiaolang while watching his son.
Luo Xiaolang nodded, not saying anything.
Yin Qin didn’t explain much either.
He shifted his attention to his son and asked, “Does the baby need to be breastfed until he’s grown up?”
“The doctor said it’s fine to breastfeed up until 1-2 years old.”
“That’s too long.” Yin Qin was shocked.
Luo Xiaolang had no issue with it.
As long as she was producing, and as long as her son wanted it, it didn’t matter how long.
Yin Qin watched his son until he finished his milk.
He took the baby tiger from Luo Xiaolang’s hands.
He played with him for a while before reluctantly handing him to Xiaolang, “I’m running out of time. I have to leave.”
The moment Yin Qin left.
Luo Xiaolang suddenly pulled his sleeve.
Yin Qin was taken aback.”
Luo Xiaolang asked, “Are you going with Ji Baixin?”
Yin Qin looked at Luo Xiaolang.
Luo Xiaolang let go of his sleeve.
Yin Qin explained, “Where did your thoughts go? I’m going alone.”
Luo Xiaolang pursed her lips.
“Xiaolang, don’t think wild thoughts, you know, there’s nothing between me and Ji Baixin anymore.” Yin Qin’s expression was serious.
He said this very earnestly.
“Uh-huh.” Luo Xiaolang nodded.
“Take good care of the little tiger at home; I’ll try to be back soon.”
“Even when you’re back, you’re still busy, aren’t you?” Luo Xiaolang asked him.
In fact.
What difference does it make whether he goes on a business trip or not?
Yin Qin always felt that Luo Xiaolang was acting a bit strange today.
She seemed different from the usual quiet woman, as if she was in some sort of mood today.
He said, “It’ll be alright after the busy period.”
Luo Xiaolang no longer said anything.
Yin Qin spoke to Luo Xiaolang again, “By the time I finish my work, it will be time for our wedding. I’ll make it up to you then!”
Actually.
She did not look forward to the wedding at all.
It was just a ceremony, she didn’t have the yearnings of a young girl for it.
“I really can’t spare any more time. I’m off.” Yin Qin checked the time and left in a rush after dropping this line.
Hugging the little tiger, Luo Xiaolang watched Yin Qin’s retreating back.
She didn’t know why she was feeling restless these days.
The news about Yin Qin and Ji Baixing gave her a strange feeling she could not put into words.
She told herself.
Really, there was no need to deliberately understand anything.
Anyway, she had always been clear. If Yin Qin didn’t want to be with her anymore, then they wouldn’t be together.
She wouldn’t make it difficult for anyone.
Yin Qin was gone for three days.
Three days later, Yin Qin released the news that the Alice Review Committee had been invited.
He returned to Jin City at 7 pm.
He didn’t go home or to the Milky Way.
Instead, he went straight to Ji Baixing’s studio.
Nobody in the studio was tidying up, all busy with their designs in a state of disarray.
Everyone was probably going through a hard time, so no one had come to clean up the place, not even the trash from working overtime.
When Yin Qin arrived, Ji Baixing was in the middle of a design breakdown, scribbling her draft in an almost resigned, venting manner.
“What’s wrong?” Yin Qin walked over.
Ji Baixing glanced at Yin Qin and placed her design draft aside.
She said, “I may not be as capable as I thought.”
Yin Qin frowned.
“I’ve been shut up these many days without any inspiration. I’m not satisfied with anything I’ve designed. Let alone other people.” Ji Baixing chuckled bitterly.
Yin Qin picked up Ji Baixing’s design draft, “Can you tell me about your design direction?”
Ji Baixing said, “I really do not have any design direction. I’ve been using my professional knowledge to design styles I like, but the designs I make are still mediocre. I’ve drawn nearly 100 styles in three days, but none of them have satisfied me. I really, cannot find any inspiration.”
“The theme of this design contest is ‘doomed love.’ Everyone has different interpretations of this theme. What’s yours?”
“Imperfect, flawed,” Ji Baixing spoke straightforwardly.
“My interpretation is obsessive, abnormal,” Yin Qin said.
Ji Baixing looked at Yin Qin.
An unexpected flutter ran through her at that moment.
Yin Qin said, “Put down the design for now. Let’s take a walk.”
“There are only two days left.”
“I know.” Yin Qin nodded decisively, “Locking yourself up like this isn’t the solution. I just got off the plane and haven’t eaten. Let’s go out for a meal.”
Ji Baixing thought for a moment and then nodded.
Yin Qin and Ji Baixing left.
The other designers remained at their posts, heaving a sigh of relief as they watched them leave.
They had been hesitant to provoke Ji Baixing these past few days because of her lousy mood.
Only after they had gone a fair distance did Anna finally get up nonchalantly and head towards Ji Baixing’s office. She picked up Ji Baixing’s draft design and swiftly took a photo of it with her phone and sent it to Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun had secluded himself in his studio at the moment.
He’d hired some contract workers.
They were among the more reliable ones he’d used abroad in the past.
Taking their advice, he was working tirelessly on the designs.
He glanced at the message on his phone and looked at the picture inside.
His lips curled into a cold smile.
That’s all there was to it.
He had thought Ji Baixing would be more capable.
Meanwhile.
The winter night in Jin City was shivering cold.
Ji Baixing didn’t wear much. As soon as she stepped out of the studio, the cold made her shrink.
“Are you cold?” Yin Qin asked her.
Ji Baixing said, “Not cold. It’s good to feel the cold breeze, helps clear the mind.”
Yin Qin smiled, took off his own coat, and draped it over Ji Baixing.
The coat was warm with his body heat.
Ji Baixing looked at him, “Aren’t you cold?”
He was only wearing a fitted suit. It looked cold.
“Not cold,” Yin Qin smiled, “At times like this, even if it is cold, one would say it isn’t. Let’s go, I see a western restaurant up ahead.”
Saying this, he led the way.
Ji Baixing watched his retreating back. She looked at his thin figure under the cold wind.
She pursed her lips.
Holding Yin Qin’s coat tighter, she caught up with him in quick steps.
The restaurant was a lot warmer.
Yin Qin ordered two candlelight dinners.
Ji Baixing hadn’t eaten much during the night either. Just looking at the food made her hungry, so she began eating with Yin Qin.
Yin Qin asked, “Have you noticed who the mole might be?”
“Really, I haven’t noticed. Everyone seems suspicious, and yet none do. These past few days I’ve buried myself in design, completely without time to manage this matter. Moreover, I always have the impression that Li Wenjun isn’t stupid enough to plagiarize my designs.”
“No, when people are desperate, they can do anything. Li Wenjun may not use your design but he would certainly want to know his enemy and thus keep tabs on your draft. If your work is good enough, he won’t be able to resist the urge for victory and will use your design. So in this design contest, your designs must be better than his. Besides winning, you can also expose all his lies.”
Ji Baixing bit her lip.
She wanted to excel too, but she really lacked confidence in herself.
She hadn’t had any inspiration for the past three days.
“Let’s eat first.” Yin Qin didn’t want to add extra pressure!
Ji Baixin heartlessly and mechanically ate her dinner with Yin Qin.
After dinner.
The two of them walked out of the restaurant, and it started snowing outside.
The white snow was fluttering down from the sky. Under the lights, it looked dreamy and surreal.
Yin Qin was walking on the street.
Still wearing his thin suit.
Ji Baixin, draped in Yin Qin’s coat, was just a step behind him.
Even knowing it was an obsession, abnormal, she was indeed in love with this married man!
This was… doomed love!
