Chapter 94 Solicitous for No Reason
“Your parents……?”
“My parents are divorced. They have their own families, so I’m living alone.”
“I’m sorry.”
“You don’t have to apologize. Although they’re divorced, they still treat me very well. And they weren’t a good match together, so it’s pretty good now.”
Ji Naitang nodded. He believed that Ying Yan was serious when he said “pretty good” because Ying Yan looked like he was living really well.
“Does Muqi have someone he likes?” Ying Yan suddenly asked. Ji Naitang didn’t know how to answer. Cen Muqi hadn’t had anyone around him for so many years. And Ji Naitang only stayed around because he had schemed to. So, he thought that Cen Muqi shouldn’t have someone he liked right now.
Or, maybe Cen Muqi still liked Ying Yan.
“I’m not sure. Maybe not.”
“Really? He’s so outstanding. How could he not have met anyone suitable for so many years……?” Ying Yan sounded a little surprised. But after his surprise, he said, “But most of Muqi’s energy is devoted to his family and work, so he probably doesn’t have time for relationships.”
Ji Naitang smiled and didn’t reply. Then Ying Yan talked about some interesting things that he had encountered abroad. Ji Naitang answered from time to time. They didn’t get along as awkwardly as he had originally thought.
After driving Ying Yan to the city center plaza, Ji Naitang took a taxi back to the apartment. He was feeling tart earlier, but now he understood why Cen Muqi liked Ying Yan. Ying Yan was indeed a very nice person.
Such a person was worthy of Cen Muqi. How could someone dark and paranoid like Ji Naitang be worthy of Cen Muqi?
When Ji Naitang returned to the apartment, Aunt Su had prepared dinner already. Cen Muqi texted him to say that he was working overtime, so he wasn’t coming back for dinner. Ji Naitang looked at a table of delicious food, but he didn’t have an appetite at all.
Yao Yuanjing called him to ask about his situation. Ji Naitang said that he was okay.
“You’re really okay? Then why does your voice sound so lifeless?”
Ji Naitang saw that he couldn’t hide the truth, so he told Yao Yuanjing everything that had happened over the last few days. Yao Yuanjing was speechless for a while before he concluded, “Ji TangTang, you should focus on work now.”
“Why work?”
“Have you focused on work since you went to work for the Cen Corporation?”
Ji Naitang didn’t understand why Yao Yuanjing was suddenly talking about work. So, he answered truthfully, “No. Most of time, I’ve been resting.”
“So, you’re like a bitter wife waiting for your husband to get off work every day. Humans need to find something to do, so they won’t think about this and that.”
Ji Naitang: “…….”
“It’s for your own good. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
“Good.” Yao Yuanjing continued, “The cooperation with CEO Zhao isn’t finalized yet. You can take care of it.”
Ji Naitang sneered. “So your ‘doing it for my own good’ is just so you can be lazy?!”
Yao Yuanjing’s true thoughts were exposed. He could only laugh and say, “Little TangTang, I’ve been working too hard lately. You have to give me some time to relax. My little lovers are going to be lonely. Besides, you own half of Fengqi. You have to do some work. I’ll send the documents to you later.”
Yao Yuanjing was probably afraid that Ji Naitang would refuse and quickly hung up. Ji Naitang regretted answering his call. He knew that one who was solicitous for no reason was either a rapist or a thief.
Just as he was being vexed, Cen Muqi came back. Ji Naitang quickly ran over to the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and pretended that he was asleep. He was scared that he wouldn’t know what to do if Cen Muqi suggested ending their relationship.
