Chapter 13 Morning Return
Chi Jinming and I returned home in the morning dew.
After confirming our relationship, Chi Jinming became much more restrained.
The whole way there was no word.
I felt a bit unaccustomed. In this atmosphere, I became more and more shy.
Strictly speaking, this was my first real love.
Last night there was no rain at the Children's Home. The house over here had rain.
In the distance, I saw a familiar figure standing at the door.
Chi Xiao stood under the eaves. His gaze swept between me and Chi Jinming.
His eyes darkened.
May we go in to take shelter from the rain?
I was surprised Chi Xiao appeared here.
But I didn't refuse.
In those three years, he had been a good boss.
Even when leaving, it was very peaceful.
Publicly and privately, I couldn't refuse.
Chi Xiao probably arrived last night.
His clothes were a bit wet.
When I went to give him clothes, the door wasn't closed tightly. I knocked and it opened automatically.
Chi Xiao stood inside the door. He had just taken off his upper garment.
I was stunned and quickly turned around.
Mr. Chi. I borrowed clothes from next door. Please bear with me for now.
Why not take Chi Jinming's?
He refused. He firmly wouldn't let me touch it.
Thinking of him and then thinking of Chi Xiao behind me, I couldn't help but get a headache.
I heard you quit the company. Do you still have money?
Chi Xiao's deep voice was very close to me.
I didn't notice he had walked to my back.
My figure stiffened.
Enough. Mr. Chi has been very generous these three years. Thank you.
Is that so? But I feel it's not enough.
There was a vague idea in my heart. But I quickly suppressed it.
Change the topic. Why did Mr. Chi come here?
Chi Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the top of my head.
To examine. There's a piece of land here suitable for development.
Oh oh. I checked the weather. There won't be rain for the next few days. It won't delay Mr. Chi's schedule.
You really want me to leave?
I stiffened even more. I shook my head.
No. Mr. Chi is very busy. And the transportation here is not developed.
Chi Xiao's movement of putting on clothes stopped.
I know.
Chi Xiao went to shower. I made breakfast in the kitchen.
Because of his arrival, my mood was a bit uneasy.
I didn't even know how long Chi Jinming had been standing beside me.
He hummed lightly. Yet he looked at me with grievance.
I had an idea. I tried to coax him.
The guest has come. We can't be impolite. Let's treat him well?
I don't know if it was because he compared Chi Xiao to a guest and it made him happy, or because the family feel of us soothed his heart.
Chi Jinming's face turned gloomy then sunny. He helped me.
When Chi Xiao finished packing and came down, Chi Jinming and I sat on the same side.
This was what he requested.
He still wanted to pick vegetables for me in front of Chi Xiao, but I glared back.
Chi Xiao opposite silently took all of this into his eyes.
He said indifferently.
Qingyao. It may trouble you for a few days. The car broke down.
Chi Xiao called me by my name for the first time without the surname.
I was a bit dazed.
Chi Jinming smiled. It's fine, Uncle. I borrowed a car for you.
You value time. Examine early and return early. Your big company can't do without you.
Chi Xiao's demeanor was natural. He didn't even pause.
Speaking of this, you should also settle your heart.
That company of yours isn't worth the effort. Hire a professional manager to manage it and operate. Put your energy into your own company.
Chi Jinming waved his hand and smiled.
This matter isn't urgent. I'll solve my life matters first. My dad means the same.
Chi Xiao lightly curled the corner of his mouth.
Is that so?
