Chapter 2468: Chapter 2469: If Not Now, When to Pretend?

Lin Yi glanced at Wang Ying.

“I’ve already talked to you about this before, about not being qualified and all that, we’re not bringing this up again.”

“Okay, okay, I got it,” Wang Ying said:

“Look at you, sis didn’t even say anything, why are you getting angry?”

As she spoke, Wang Ying pulled Lin Yi into the bedroom, looped her arms around his neck, hugged him tight, and gave him a sweet kiss.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Wang Ying opened her wardrobe and said seductively:

“Which set do you like? Sis will put it on for you to see.”

“emmmm… That red set is pretty nice.”

“Just bought it a few days ago, I knew you’d like it.”

About two hours later, an intense battle came to an end.

Wang Ying was lying on the bed, completely spent, as if she didn’t even have the strength to speak.

“What time are you all leaving tomorrow?”

“The flight is at ten in the morning.” Wang Ying looked at Lin Yi and asked:

“Do you really want to come with us?”

“If you don’t want me to go, then I won’t.”

“What are you talking about.” Wang Ying’s eyes rolled flirtatiously, “I’d love for you to come, but I don’t want to waste your time.”

“Then let’s not talk about anything else, after all, I’ve already promised Lulu.”

“Then I’ll book the flight ticket for you.”

“Fine, we’ll meet at the airport tomorrow.”

The two of them cuddled for a while longer, and then Lin Yi drove back home.

On the second floor at home, there were dozens of various items scattered all over the floor.

Ji Qingyan meticulously gathered them together, looking as mighty as a general leading a troop of underlings.

“What’s all this stuff?”

“It’s all things the baby can use later on, I thought they looked nice so I bought them.”

“Isn’t it just the fifth month now? Isn’t it a bit early to buy these things?”

“It is a bit early, but I couldn’t resist, I liked them so much.”

Ji Qingyan waved a little red bellyband in front of Lin Yi.

“Look at this, it’s not even as big as a palm, but it just looks so fun.”

“Uh…”

Lin Yi paused for a moment, “I simply think that the baby won’t look good wearing this.”

“Then who would look good wearing it?”

“The baby’s mom would look good wearing it.”

“The baby’s mom…”

Ji Qingyan’s cheeks blushed, “You’re about to become a dad, yet you’re still such a rascal, never acting proper all day long.”

Lin Yi chuckled, and Ji Qingyan’s blushing face was an allure he could never resist.

“Come on, come over here and take a look, there’s a lot more stuff.”

Ji Qingyan called Lin Yi over and introduced one by one the items arranged on the floor.

Lin Yi listened boredly, but Ji Qingyan was tirelessly explaining the uses of each item and her future visions.

Lin Yi, looking at Ji Qingyan who was beaming with excitement, got infected by her enthusiasm.

He felt that all these things also seemed quite interesting.

And he filled with greater anticipation towards their unborn child.

Early the next day, after waking up, Lin Yi said goodbye to Ji Qingyan, telling her that he would be on a business trip for a few days, and then he left early.

Lin Yi drove directly to the airport to meet up with Wang Ying.

Because time was tight, Lin Yi casually bought some gifts at the mall to bring along since it’s not nice to go empty-handed.

“Isn’t it just attending a wedding? Why are you bringing so much stuff?”

“My sis said you’d definitely bring gifts, but she didn’t want to use yours, so we bought some in advance.” Wang Lu shook the exquisitely wrapped bag in her hand, “We’ll just say they were bought by you.”

Lin Yi was a bit of a laughing stock, “But I’ve already bought everything.”

“As long as there’s a receipt, you can return it.” Wang Ying stood in front of Lin Yi and said softly:

“This time you have to listen to your sister; use the gifts I bought for the meeting.”

“Alright then.”

Knowing Wang Ying’s personality, Lin Yi didn’t fuss over this small matter.

After all this time, she had only accepted his car and house, and had not asked for anything else.

On the contrary, she often bought him things, and it would certainly be unacceptable to let her spend her own money lavishly.

Soon, the boarding announcement sounded; it was time to board.

The three of them, carrying their things, followed the crowd onto the plane.

About two hours later, the plane landed at Rong City Airport.

After getting off the plane, Lin Yi looked around, feeling an indescribable sentiment upon returning to this city.

“What’s up?”

Seeing Lin Yi standing still, Wang Ying asked.

“It’s nothing, just looking around.”

After a casual response, the three of them hailed a taxi and headed for Wang Ying’s home.

The drive took nearly an hour before finally arriving in the old city district.

Wang Ying’s home wasn’t big, with a living space of about 60 square meters, enough for the old couple to live in.

“Dad, Mom!”

As soon as she opened the door, Wang Lu started shouting.

Inside the room stood a middle-aged couple, around sixty, not looking very old and quite youthful.

“Come in, come in, quickly come inside.”

Knowing the three would arrive today, the old couple had been waiting for them.

“Just come, no need to bring anything,” Wang Ying’s father said, “You’re not outsiders.”

“It’s only right, it’s only right,” Lin Yi replied with a smile.

Lin Yi was invited to sit on the couch inside, and Wang Ying’s parents were especially enthusiastic, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

“Mom, when are we eating? I’m already hungry.”

Back at home, Wang Lu put on the airs of a princess.

“Wait a bit longer, your uncle will be here soon.”

“Brother Cheng is getting married tomorrow; how does he still have time to come here?”

“It’s tradition. Your dad is his second uncle. The day before the wedding he needs to come visit,” Wang Ying’s mother Liu Lihua explained:

“Moreover, Brother Cheng’s house is a bridal house, and according to tradition, outsiders shouldn’t go there. Tonight, relatives from our family will come here, and he has to come over in advance to check.”

Such traditions were similar to those of Zhong Hai.

Relatives from out of town coming for the wedding should be arranged in advance.

“I really don’t want them to come, always pretending,” Wang Lu complained:

“If it weren’t for my sister making it big these past few years, and for me earning money, we wouldn’t even exist in their eyes.”

“We’re all family, so don’t talk like that,” Wang Guodong sighed and said:

“Besides, Brother Cheng has always been good to you; he often fought on your behalf when you were little.”

“I know Brother Cheng is good to me,” Wang Lu grumbled:

“But my uncle is not okay, acting all high and mighty without much to show for it.”

“How can you talk like that,” Wang Guodong said with displeasure: “No matter what, he is still your uncle.”

Wang Lu pouted and fell silent, sulking.

Wang Ying frowned slightly, not really wanting Lin Yi to meet the other people in her family.

It would also mean taking time to deal with them, which would add to his burden.

Gently, Lin Yi took Wang Ying’s hand.

Wang Ying looked over and realized Lin Yi wasn’t looking at her, and her heart suddenly felt warm.

“My brother is quite decent, but he loves to drink. He’ll probably want to have a few with you later. Just humor him and don’t drink too much,” Wang Ying whispered: “Please don’t drink excessively.”
