Chapter 233 - 166: Lin Jiang! Showtime
Lin Jiang calmly looked at Qin Yangyang.
Her gaze was a little shifty, and she avoided looking at Lin Jiang.
"Huh? You just got back from a business trip and you’re already busy?"
"This case has a lot of follow-up issues to deal with, and they’re urgent. I have to take care of them right away."
"You’re working too hard. You have to take care of yourself. If you keep this up, you’ll burn yourself out," Qin Youyou said with concern.
"The other day, you had dark circles under your eyes. Are you staying up late all the time? Not sleeping well?"
"What dark circles? I’ve been sleeping just fine every night."
Qin Yangyang instinctively retorted, not wanting Qin Youyou to see through her.
’It would be a miracle if I didn’t have dark circles, getting tormented until the middle of the night every time.’
’Every time, I think we’ll finish the battle in one round so I can get a good night’s sleep, but it never goes according to plan.’
"You really did, I saw them. I just forgot to mention it," Qin Youyou said.
"Sis, I’m free this afternoon. Why don’t I go hang out at your law firm?"
"Huh? Come to the firm with me?" Qin Yangyang’s voice suddenly shot up.
"It’s mainly because I’m so bored. Besides, I know everyone at your firm."
"I’m not going to the firm this afternoon. I have to go to the Intermediate Court with a colleague." Qin Yangyang immediately composed herself and said lecture-style:
"There are so many things at the company waiting for you. Use this time to get back to your real work."
"I haven’t been slacking off! I’ve been busy every day. I’ve been working my butt off even with my period. I deserve a break too," Qin Youyou said.
"Sis, why don’t I move in with you?"
"Move in with me?"
The color drained from Qin Yangyang’s face, and the micro-expressions between her brows screamed rejection.
"Yeah, didn’t you say before that I should move in with you? I don’t want to live at home anymore, so I’ll live with you."
"That was then, this is now. You should just stay at home. You can come stay over occasionally, that’s it."
"No way. You’re actually rejecting me? That’s so mean."
"As soon as you come here, you stop doing any real work. The family business is counting on you," Qin Yangyang said seriously.
"In short, get the idea of moving in with me out of your head."
"Fine, but I’m staying here tonight. I’ll just consider it a day off for myself."
Qin Yangyang was helpless but couldn’t say anything more. After all, this was her own sister.
’It’s just for one night. If I refuse again, she might really figure things out.’
Lin Jiang ate his food, holding back a smile.
’When a woman says one thing but means another, trying to cover things up... it really has a certain charm.’
After the meal, the two women went home together, and Lin Jiang returned to Century Triumph.
Before he even got through the door, he received a message from Qin Yangyang.
Qin Yangyang: "Stay home and be good. You’re not allowed to go anywhere."
Qin Yangyang: "I’ll bite you to death if you don’t listen.jpg"
Seeing Qin Yangyang’s messages, Lin Jiang couldn’t help but smile.
’There’s no such thing as a cool and aloof woman. It’s all about whether you use the right method.’
"Tongzi, my shares and Qin Zhengqing’s shares combined are 46%. Do I still need to sign a cooperation agreement to complete the mission?"
[Yes.]
Just as I thought.
’It’s probably not happening today. I still have to battle Qin Yangyang for 300 rounds later, so there’s definitely not enough time.’
’I’ll deal with it tomorrow.’
Sure enough, less than an hour after he got home, the doorbell rang. Qin Yangyang was at the door, and she had changed her clothes.
Black shorts paired with a blue short-sleeved shirt had replaced her professional attire with a refreshing, sporty, at-home look. It gave her a more natural and gentle beauty, with just a hint of a young wife’s charm.
Very naturally, Qin Yangyang smoothed her hair, took off her shoes, and entered the apartment.
For her, coming to Lin Jiang’s place was almost like coming back to her own home.
After all, she had bought many of the things inside.
"Doesn’t the law firm need you for something urgent? Why aren’t you there?" Lin Jiang asked, feigning ignorance.
"You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? I haven’t even gotten even with you yet," Qin Yangyang said bossily.
"Get even with me for what? Isn’t the experience always great every time?"
Qin Yangyang puffed out her chest. "It had no effect at all."
"I already told you, it takes three times. You think it’ll work after just one? There’s no such thing as a free lunch."
As he spoke, Lin Jiang cupped Qin Yangyang’s bottom and lifted her up.
She didn’t resist, reflexively wrapping her arms around Lin Jiang’s neck.
Their foreheads touched gently, and they could feel each other’s warm breath as the amorous atmosphere between them heated up rapidly.
"Didn’t you say you had to work overtime at the firm? Are you still going?"
"You devil, asking when you already know the answer."
After a coquettish complaint, Qin Yangyang offered him a sweet kiss.
Her quickening heartbeat made Qin Yangyang’s cheeks flush red, just like a ripe honey peach.
"Put me down, let me undo the zipper..."
"No need. It won’t get in the way..."
Lin Jiang carried Qin Yangyang back to the bedroom and stood her on the bed.
"Please begin your performance."
"You’re awful."
...
「The next morning」
When Lin Jiang woke up, Qin Yangyang was already gone.
[You have engaged in a long and enduring battle. Physique +1.]
’It really was long and enduring. We went from yesterday afternoon all the way into the evening. After getting hungry and going out for a bite, we had another round.’
’A woman whose period just ended has her combat power skyrocket, too.’
He picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was already past eight.
There was also a message from Qin Yangyang.
Qin Yangyang: "I had to leave for work. Remember to eat breakfast."
Lin Jiang: "We didn’t sleep until after two last night, right? And you still managed to get up this morning. Qin Lu is truly a role model for our generation."
He thought he wouldn’t get a reply, but Qin Yangyang responded instantly.
Qin Yangyang: "I’m not like you, you big lazy pig."
Qin Yangyang: "Tell me, have you been secretly working out lately?"
