Chapter 2476: Chapter 2477: Silent Fury

“Am I not an accident?”

Ji Qingyan looked at Lin Yi, “I want to know, between the two of us, who is really the accident?”

Lin Yi was rendered speechless by the question, unsure of how to respond.

In fact, the pregnancy was not planned by either of them.

So, they were both accidents.

But at this moment, he couldn’t respond like that.

“Of course, she was an accident.” Lin Yi said:

“You were properly and officially married, right?”

Ji Qingyan didn’t speak, absolute silence filled the room, only their heartbeats remained.

“Let me have some quiet time.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yi didn’t say anything else, he knew Ji Qingyan too well.

She understood everything, so there was no point in saying anything.

Moreover, she knew about his affair with Liang Ruoxu.

At this time, even if he wanted to explain, he didn’t know what to say.

Lin Yi didn’t linger in the room and prepared to leave.

But just as he was opening the door, Ji Qingyan’s voice rang from behind him.

“Why is she still in Zhong Hai?”

“Hm?”

Lin Yi was startled, “If not in Zhong Hai, where would she be?”

“It’s already been five months, is she still working?”

Lin Yi understood what Ji Qingyan was referring to.

“Her job is different, she can’t leave unless it’s a critical moment.”

“Her family is here as well.”

Lin Yi shook his head, “No, but she has two nannies responsible for daily living.”

“Go find her.”

“Ah? Why would I go find her?” Lin Yi was somewhat panicked.

Ji Qingyan didn’t speak, she wiped away her tears, and after a long silence finally spoke:

“I had thought about this happening, I just didn’t expect it so soon, nor did I imagine it would actually happen.”

Ji Qingyan had long been aware of Lin Yi’s relationship with Liang Ruoxu, and since she chose to reconcile, it was an implicit acceptance of their relationship.

Having accepted it, certain things were bound to happen.

It wasn’t something she could stop.

But it all came too suddenly, without giving her a chance to dodge.

“You are the official wife, what would I go there for?”

“I don’t want to be a selfish person…”

Mid-sentence, Ji Qingyan’s tears began to fall, pitter-pattering down.

“It’s my bad luck to have fallen for you, and I don’t wish for others to suffer. If I were to keep you tied to my side every day, that would make me, Ji Qingyan, selfish. I don’t want to be the bad person.”

Lin Yi’s heart trembled, Ji Qingyan’s kindness allowed her to let go of all the grievances in her heart over this matter.

“In this situation, there’s no right or wrong, stop thinking so much. Your health is what matters, stop crying.”

“I don’t need you to worry about it.”

“Having strong emotions during pregnancy can make the baby dumb, not for your own sake, but for the baby’s.”

Lin Yi’s words had an immediate effect.

Ji Qingyan stopped crying.

In her heart, the child always came first; she wouldn’t let the baby in her belly face any risks.

“I’m going to sleep now, you should leave.”

Lin Yi paused for a moment but ultimately nodded.

At this time, giving her some quiet space was the best option.

Lin Yi went to the guest bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, and watched the moonlight outside the window until dawn.

According to Lin Yi’s plan, after finishing his resignation, he would take up the Daoist priest job and start working on the tasks slowly.

But now, with this situation, Lin Yi wasn’t in the mood at all.

He was like a clay statue, motionless.

The next morning, when Lin Yi got up, Ji Qingyan was no longer in the room.

Contrary to Lin Yi’s expectations, her mood was very good.

It was completely unapparent that there had been major emotional disturbances last night; she seemed just like normal.

It seemed like a good thing, but it made Lin Yi’s heart tremble with fear.

Ji Qingyan was behaving too abnormally, so much so that he almost couldn’t believe it.

He was afraid she would do something foolish.

After breakfast, just like always, they both drove to the company together, in silence all the way.

Ring, ring, ring–

Just as Lin Yi was about to find some topic to break the silence, his phone rang–it was a call from Gao Zongyuan.

“Lin Bro, where are you?”

“On the way to the company, what’s up?”

Instinctively, Lin Yi felt that it was not good news.

Given their routines, a call at this time was unlikely to be for anything good.

“It’s a bit complicated, can’t explain clearly over the phone, we’re heading to President Ji’s company now.”

“You guys?”

“I’m with Tao Yuan.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you in the office.”

After a few brief words, Lin Yi hung up.

Ji Qingyan wanted to know the content of the call, but she didn’t ask.

“Gao and He Yuanyuan are coming to the company later; there might be some issues.”

“Mhm,” Ji Qingyan nodded lightly.

Lin Yi didn’t say anything else, guessing instinctively, it was probably about Gao’s family matters.

If it were about He Yuanyuan, she would have informed Ji Qingyan first, and not let Gao Zongyuan call him first.

Despite his concerns, Lin Yi still drove leisurely to the Chaoyang Group.

Not long after he arrived at his office, Gao Zongyuan and He Yuanyuan came in.

“What happened, to call me so early in the morning?”

“Our family has a port project in Africa, but it’s quite chaotic over there; as you know, my uncle and their group are trapped in a hotel,” Gao Zongyuan said:

“Can you think of a way to get them back?”

“This happened?”

Lin Yi was taken aback; such a significant incident, and yet there was no news on the internet, which he found strange.

“Don’t panic yet, let me make a call and see what’s going on.”

Saying that, Lin Yi took out his phone and called Ning Che.

But after dialing two different numbers, both were off.

Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition surged within him.

Seeing Lin Yi’s pale face, Gao Zongyuan’s heart rose to his throat, uncertain about what to do.

Immediately after, Lin Yi called Qiu Yuluo.

Similarly, both calls went to voicemail.

Lin Yi, with a grim face, then called another group of people.

Without any surprise, all were unavailable.

Lin Yi knew all too well what this meant.

The Central Guards Brigade had all been deployed on a mission!

The office was sunk into deathly silence; Lin Yi fiddled with his phone, his face terribly somber.

Not just Gao Zongyuan’s issue, the matter with the Central Guards Brigade was disturbing him as well.

The silent silence lasted for a whole minute or so.

Finally, Lin Yi got through to Liang Xianghe’s phone.

In his opinion, such matters could not have been decided by Liu Hong alone.

After a few rings, the call was connected.

“Hello.”

“When did they leave?”

“The day before yesterday.”

Liang Xianghe knew what Lin Yi was referring to and that he couldn’t keep it from him, so he frankly spoke out.

“Why didn’t you inform me?”

“Mi Li is pregnant, family matters are important,” Liang Xianghe said: “It’s not a big deal, so we didn’t notify you.”

Lin Yi did not respond, and both parties remained silent.

In the end, Lin Yi hung up the phone without giving Liang Xianghe any response.
