849 Different Thinking Patterns of Men and Women
He followed Liang Ruoxu all the way to her office. There, Lin Yi took off his mask and locked the door.
“You’re really bold to actually infiltrate my workplace.”
“On a festival like this, it’s important to show our respect to both the officials and our parents.”
“You make it sound like you’re clocking in.”
“Don’t make a big deal out of it, others don’t even have the privilege of clocking in.”
Liang Ruoxu rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, “Is there only one apple?”
“What else do you want?”
“A gift. If you only give me an apple, I’ll close down your Lingyun Group.”
“No, no, no. Mayor Liang, calm down. I’m here to give you a gift.”
Lin Yi took out the accessory from the bag. “See if you like it.”
“Harry Winston’s? That’s not cheap.”
“It’s good that you know. Don’t look for trouble within our company in the future.”
“Hmph, that will depend on your performance.”
Liang Ruoxu opened the box and heaved a sigh of relief.
This pair of earrings was just right. They could be worn normally, and no one would notice.
“Did you choose this on purpose?”
“I wanted to buy you a diamond ring, but it was too eye-catching. In the end, I chose this.”
“I don’t want a ring. This is perfect.”
“A ring is much more meaningful than this.”
“It’s because it is so meaningful that I don’t want it.”
“What kind of bullish*t logic is that?”
“It’s better to give the ring to the first wife. We don’t have that kind of relationship, so I can’t accept a ring.”
“You’re so full of sh*t every day.”
“You’re the one full of sh*t.”
Lin Yi ignored Liang Ruoxu and opened the lunch box, preparing to eat.
“Why is your plate full of meat? Why is mine full of vegetables?”
“Stir-fried eggs with tomatoes and spinach with nuts. Aren’t these the dishes you wanted? Why are you blaming me?”
“You’re too much,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“Other boys are all very polite when they come to give gifts. Can’t you be gentler?”
“They’re lying to their partners to try to get them into bed. I can’t sleep with you either way, so what’s the use of being gentle?” Lin Yi said.
“I don’t like eating green peppers. Here, you can have it. It’s good for cooling the body and reducing internal heat.”
Although he said that, Lin Yi still transferred a lot of meat over to Liang Ruoxu’s plate.
“That’s right. If you’re not gentler, you can forget about sleeping with me for the rest of your life,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“If that’s the case, it’ll definitely be your loss.”
“Anyway, I’ve already reminded you that you don’t have much time left.” Liang Ruoxu said, “There are so many people pursuing me in Yanjing. Perhaps one day, I’ll be with someone else.”
“Say that again?!”
Liang Ruoxu was shocked and felt a little guilty. “Why are you shouting? I was just joking.”
“I’m not eating anymore.” Lin Yi put down his chopsticks and turned to leave.
“Hey, hey, hey, what’s wrong with you?” Liang Ruoxu stood up and grabbed Lin Yi’s arm. “Why are you so petty? I was just joking, and you took it seriously.”
“I’m getting out of here.”
“Don’t be angry.”
Liang Ruoxu gave Lin Yi a peck on the cheek, “Is this okay?”
“Barely.”
Liang Ruoxu rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, “Wait, I have something for you too.”
Returning to his office, Liang Ruoxu opened a drawer and took out a black bag.
Lin Yi’s eyes twitched. It couldn’t be that coincidental, right? The same thing again?
“I picked it out for you when I was shopping yesterday. It’ll definitely look good when you wear it in a formal suit. Huh? What’s up with your expression?”
“I’m touched. You perfectly read my mind. My previous belt was broken, and I was thinking of buying another one.”
“Are you serious? You’re not fooling me?”
“Really,” Lin Yi said with tears in his eyes.
“As long as you like it,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“Alright, I still have something on in the afternoon. Don’t bother me here. It won’t be good if others see us.”
Looking at the belt Liang Ruoxu bought for him, Lin Yi felt that his heart was like a frigid winter.
“I only have a waist, but people give me belts for every little thing!”
...
After hiding the belt, Lin Yi drove to Chaoyang Group. He played games while waiting for Ji Qingyan to come down.
After two matches, Ji Qingyan stepped out of the elevator.
She was wearing a light gray plush suit, black jeans, and beige high heels.
Ji Qingyan knocked on the window and spun around in front of Lin Yi.
“How do I look? I spent a long time picking my clothes. Does it look good?”
“Ji Qingyan, you’re getting more and more cocky,” Lin Yi said.
“Yesterday, you put on a pair of plush leggings. Today, your ankles are exposed?”
“Uh… I look thinner when I dress this way.”
“Let me tell you, if your feet get cold, it can easily lead to infertility. If you can’t give birth to twins, I’ll have to talk to you about it.”
“Huh? It can’t be that serious, right?”
“Why wouldn’t it be? They wrote about it on the public WeChat account.”
...
“Then, I’ll go put on a pair of leggings.” Ji Qingyan quickly jogged back to her room and muttered, “I still want to give birth to a fat son.”
After waiting for more than half an hour, Ji Qingyan came out again. However, this time, she changed into a pair of boots and got into the passenger seat.
“Look, I’m wearing it. The inside of my shoes are also plush.” Ji Qingyan lifted a corner of her shirt, revealing the side of her leggings to prove that she wasn’t lying.
“That’s good.”
“Hehe…” Ji Qingyan chuckled. “Where are you taking me later?”
“Let’s go eat first. I’ve already reserved a table.”
Lin Yi drove Ji Qingyan to a Faguon restaurant to have dinner.
There were many men and women in the restaurant. If it weren’t for Lin Yi’s connections, it would be difficult to book a table in such a short period of time.
Ji Qingyan ate at a leisurely pace. It took her more than two hours to finish the meal.
This was exactly what Ji Qingyan wanted. Eating, chatting, and then watching a movie. It was a perfect Christmas.
She didn’t care about the gifts.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, wondered if he would have a chance to hit a home run tonight.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to watch a movie? Which movie did you pick?”
“I booked all the movies showing at the same time. Take a look and see which one you fancy.”
With Lin Yi’s phone in hand, Ji Qingyan made her selection in the car. “Let’s go watch ‘The Champion’. I heard that this movie is very touching.”
“Let’s go. I’ve prepared the tissues for you.”
“I’ll try not to cry.”
“Then I’ll give it to another girl.”
“I’m gonna pinch you.”
The two of them drove to Wanda Film City, collected their tickets, and entered the venue in one go.
“Mr. Lin, I want to eat popcorn. Can you buy some?”
“Why not? Just wait here.”
“Buy a big box. Two of them.”
“Two?” Lin Yi said, “But I don’t like popcorn.”
“But I love it. One serving isn’t enough for me.”
