Chapter 2472: Chapter 2473: Resignation

Unlike Ji Qingyan, if you look carefully, you can spot a slight change in Mi Li’s belly.

And her figure has also become more voluptuous.

With a little more feminine charm.

“Hmm?” Mi Li asked doubtfully:

“Where has it changed?”

“It got bigger.” Lin Yi said:

“Before it was hard to grasp with one hand, and now even two hands might not be enough to control it, you really are a woman who’s hard to manage.”

Mi Li, who grew up listening to adult jokes, immediately understood what Lin Yi was talking about.

“I’ve gained fifteen pounds since I got pregnant, of course it would get bigger.” Mi Li said:

“Now my legs are all flabby, it’s really troubling me.”

She said she was bothered, but there was no sign of such emotion on Mi Li’s face; she was just saying it.

“I’ll talk to him, tell him to eat less. He’s almost feeding his mom to death.”

Lin Yi earnestly pressed his ear against his own abdomen, and Mi Li asked with a smile.

“What did you hear? Can you communicate with him?”

“Of course, I even heard him call ‘Dad’.”

“Nonsense, probably hasn’t even taken shape yet.”

Mi Li affectionately stroked her belly, filled with anticipation for the child yet to be born.

“Alright, alright, if someone comes in and sees us like this, won’t we lose face?”

Mi Li pulled her clothes down, straightened them out, and sat back down on her chair.

“Do you have any plans for the future? Coming to work every day?”

“My job isn’t like other positions; many things are out of my hands.” Mi Li sighed and said:

“But I haven’t missed any of the necessary check-ups, the doctor says my condition is very good.”

“But you can’t just keep working like this.”

“Don’t worry, I have a sense of it too, even if I wanted to keep working, my parents wouldn’t agree.” Mi Li said with a smile:

“When I start feeling uncomfortable, I will ask for leave and step back. I can still prioritize.”

Lin Yi nodded and didn’t say anything else.

Mi Li’s situation is different from Ji Qingyan’s.

She represents not only herself but also the entire Liang family, it’s like pulling one hair and moving the whole body.

So, she needs to consider the big picture in her decisions.

“Then don’t work today, let’s go out for a stroll.”

Mi Li looked at the clock and realized it was already past three, then nodded in agreement.

“Let’s go to the supermarket. I want to eat the Northeastern dishes you make.”

“Okay.”

Mi Li packed up her things after work, and the two went to the supermarket together and bought some things to take home.

Because they had a maid to clean the house, Mi Li’s home was exceptionally tidy.

Not as messy as before.

Lin Yi made four dishes and a soup, which Mi Li devoured with gusto.

Although during the early stages of pregnancy she couldn’t eat much, by the midpoint, her appetite was unstoppable, and she could keep pace with Lin Yi.

After dinner, the two returned to their room, didn’t go anywhere else, just spending time with each other.

“The baby is almost five months along now, haven’t you prepared anything?”

“Hmm? Prepared what?”

Compared to Ji Qingyan, Mi Li was a bit slow on the uptake.

Unlike Ji Qingyan, who subtly started preparing these things when the baby was just over three months.

“I mean the things that might be needed after the baby is born. You can start paying attention to them now.”

“That’s true.” Mi Li pouted and said:

“Mainly because I don’t know what to buy. Make a list for me, and I’ll check it out when I have time.”

“Sure.”

Lin Yi opened the notepad on his phone, jotted down a list of more than twenty items that newborns could use, and sent it to Mi Li.

The next morning, just after eight o’clock, Lin Yi opened his eyes, saw that Mi Li was still sleeping, and didn’t disturb her. He went back to sleep and only woke up after nine.

After a quick tidy-up and breakfast, the two of them headed out together.

After dropping Mi Li off at work, Lin Yi took a cab to Chaoyang Group.

Pushing open the door to the office, Ji Qingyan was holding her phone, concentrating on it.

“Ah, you’re back.”

Seeing Lin Yi return, Ji Qingyan welcomed him in.

“Is everything taken care of?”

Lin Yi nodded, “What are you looking at so intently?”

“I saw a baby bottle that looked nice, but it’s out of stock. I’m going to look for another one.”

Thinking of the two entirely different individuals, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

“You must have bought quite a lot already, right?”

“But I always feel like it’s not enough, as if there are still some essentials I haven’t bought.” Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi and said:

“You’ve been a doctor, you have experience, help me see what else is essential to buy.”

“Sure, I’ll make a list for you.”

“Mmm.”

Lin Yi took out the list he wrote for Mi Li yesterday, made some changes, and handed it to Ji Qingyan.

“These things are all necessities. Check against it and see what you haven’t bought, and then prepare them when you have time.”

“Mmm.”

At this moment, Ji Qingyan had lost interest in work.

She was endlessly amused by these mother and baby products every day.

“Do you have any plans for today?”

“I’m planning to go to the branch office to handle the resignation procedures, end things on a good note.”

“That works, say hello to your former colleagues and then treat them to a meal.”

Lin Yi nodded and had already planned for the series of things that would follow.

After resigning, he would be able to start a new profession.

It had to be done sooner or later; there was no need to drag it out.

But family still needs to come first, especially during this special period.

He sat in Ji Qingyan’s office for a while, accompanied her for lunch, and then drove to the branch office.

There weren’t many people in the office, just Zhu Junchi and Zhang Peng.

“Oh, finally showed up for work.” Zhu Junchi joked:

“How was your break these past few days? Did you recover your state?”

“Brother Zhu, I’m here to resign.”

“What? Resign?”

Their expressions froze instantly; no one expected to be greeted with such news.

“Are you sure you’re not joking?”

“Even if I were joking, I wouldn’t joke about this.”

“True.” Zhu Junchi said:

“You kid aren’t lacking money; no need to keep sticking around here.”

Zhu Junchi felt Lin Yi’s sudden resignation was unexpected yet reasonable.

He didn’t need the money, so naturally, there was no need for him to keep working here.

“Nobody plan anything tonight, I’ll treat you to dinner, and we’ll also invite Brother Li and Gu Yiran.”

“You make the call for that, especially since it’s about resigning, and particularly for Brother Li, as he’s the one who brought you into this field, practically a mentor.”

“I understand, I’ll call them later.” Lin Yi said with a smile, looking around:

“Where are Brother Hui and Zhang Zixin?”

“There are newcomers, they went to conduct training.”

“Ah? There are new people?”

“Yeah, like you guys came this time last year, another batch has arrived this year.”

“I see.”

Lin Yi suddenly felt sentimental; he had actually been in the police force for over a year.
