Chapter 1248: She Never Left You

"Huh?"

On the other side, Liang Ruoxu was stunned.

"Hey, why are you in my house? And in my room no less?"

"Is this your home?" Lin Yi smiled. "I'm just at some vixen's house."

Liang Ruoxu's face turned red. She was stunned and embarra.s.sed.

"Tell me, why are you in my house?"

Lin Yi didn't hide anything and told Liang Ruoxu what had happened.

Because even if he didn't say it, it wouldn't be long before she found out.

Moreover, if he didn't say anything, he would have no way to explain this matter.

He couldn't tell her that her father was on a business trip and that her mother brought him back to the house.

No matter how he looked at it, it would appear wrong.

After learning the truth of the matter, Liang Ruoxu was stunned for a long time. Then, she probed,

"How are you feeling right now?"

"I'm not very emotional right now," Lin Yi said, "I feel quite content."

"Ultimately, you haven't seen each other for more than twenty years. Don't tell me there's no estrangement at all."

"I'm sure there is, but it's not as severe as you think."

This was something Lin Yi didn't expect.

He had never thought that their encounter this time would be so peaceful.

"What about your plans for the future? How do you plan to handle this relations.h.i.+p?" Liang Ruoxu asked with concern.

"I didn't think about what comes next. She has her life, and I have mine. There's no overlap in the trajectory of our lives, so it won't have much of an impact on us."

"That's true." Liang Ruoxu nodded and exhaled heavily. "After so many years, the dust has settled. I think this is quite good."

Lin Yi nodded and did not say anything else.

"Oh right, by the way, why are you in Yanjing?"

"I have something to do in the Central Guards Brigade, so I came over." Lin Yi said.

"Also, I need to sell fruits and whatnot. Can you recommend a place for me to do this? I need a place with a lot of rich people. Some place similar to Tangchen First Cla.s.s' income bracket would do."

After selling fruits on w.a.n.gfujing Street for a day, he only sold 500g of fruits.

Lin Yi had already given up on that place and was prepared to move elsewhere.

"Let me think."

Liang Ruoxu thought for a few seconds. "You can go to Triumph City. It's one of the more expensive residential areas that has sprung up in the past few years. I'll call tomorrow and help you get a spot so that the city enforcement officers don't arrest you."

"Thank you, Secretary Liang."

"Tsk, don't be glib with me." Liang Ruoxu rolled her eyes and said.

"By the way, let me warn you. You can sleep in my room, but don't touch my things."

"Why, do you have a secret?" Lin Yi got off the bed.

"If so, I really have to find it."

"Ah!"

Liang Ruoxu screamed, "I'm going to kill you! If you dare to move, I'll teach you a lesson when we get back to Zhonghai!"

"Why would I be afraid of that?"

"Tsk, just look then. It's just my underwear and stuff. I'm not afraid."

Seeing that he couldn't stop Lin Yi, Liang Ruoxu didn't care anymore.

"Ah? Just underwear. In that case, I won't look."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not interested."

"You're no longer interested in my underwear? Why? Are you no longer interested in me?"

Huh???

"You're the one who didn't want to let me see it. Now that I'm not looking, you're claiming that I'm not interested in you. What kind of double standards is this?"

"Scram, scram, scram. You're the one with double standards." Liang Ruoxu said, "It's getting late. Hurry up and sleep. I still have doc.u.ments to read."

"Then you should sleep early too. Don't stay up too late."

"Got it. I promise to sleep before midnight."

After hanging up, Lin Yi did not do anything else.

He did not think about the lingerie that Liang Ruoxu left at home either.

Only those who wore it were called undergarments. Otherwise, they were just a few pieces of cloth.

If he really wanted to see it, he could just go and see Liang Ruoxu. There was no point in fantasizing about it.

The next morning, at seven o'clock in the morning, Lin Yi heard clanking sounds.

When he woke up, he realized that the two ladies had already gotten up to cook.

Qin Yingyue was the head chef while Shen Shuyi helped.

"Go wash your face. We'll be eating shortly."

"Yeah."

Lin Yi nodded and went to the bathroom to wash up before returning to the dining table.

Breakfast was served at this time.

Steamed eggs, porridge, soy milk, pies, fried dough sticks, and so on

"Try them. They're all your favorites," Shen Shuyi said.

Lin Yi was a little puzzled. How did they know that he liked to eat these things for breakfast?

Half an hour later, the three of them finished their breakfast. Qin Yingyue looked at her watch.

"It's about time. I have to go."

"Stay here for a while. It's not like you have a flight to catch. What's the hurry?"

"I'll have to leave eventually. There's no point in delaying things."

Qin Yingyue could not bear to leave as she had just reunited with Lin Yi.

However, she was a content person. The fact that Lin Yi had acknowledged her was the greatest blessing that G.o.d could give her.

She did not dare to ask for anything else.

Therefore, she left without any scruples.

She was content.

"When are you coming back?" Shen Shuyi asked.

"It's hard to say." Qin Yingyue said.

"You know my situation. I've been going everywhere all these years. I might come back anytime soon. Besides, we still have each other's contact information. What are you afraid of?"

"What's the use of having each other's contact information? It's not like we can even meet." Shen Shuyi said.

"In another three to five years, I'll be ready to retire. Don't spend your time wandering outside anymore. Just hurry back."

"Alright, alright, alright, I can do that. After you retire, I'll definitely return to Yanjing."

"That's more like it."

Shen Shuyi put on her coat and said to Lin Yi,

"Let's go to the airport."

"Yeah."

The three of them went downstairs, got into Shen Shuyi's Audi A8, and drove toward the airport.

Lin Yi's plane had been waiting on the runway for a long time.

"I'll be leaving now. I originally planned to check in on Auntie Song, but I won't have the chance now. Help me explain when you have the time."

"Got it. Don't worry."

Qin Yingyue put down her luggage and hugged Shen Shuyi.

Even though it was a farewell, her face was filled with smiles.

To be able to gain her son's approval was the happiest possible outcome for this trip.

"Call me when you get off the plane."

"Okay."

After hugging Shen Shuyi, Lin Yi opened his arms.

He was ready to hug this most familiar stranger.

The hug was short, and there were no tears, but the waterworks were flowing in his heart.

Qin Yingyue waved goodbye to the two of them and boarded the plane with her luggage.

"Let's go. Don't keep standing here," Shen Shuyi said.

Lin Yi nodded. The two of them turned around and walked out of the airport.

"She..."

Lin Yi wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

"What's there to hide at a time like this? Just say what you want to say."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yi said,

"She seems to know me well."

Lin Yi remembered that she was the one who made the breakfast this morning, and Shen Shuyi was only helping.

Facing the wind, Shen Shuyi combed her hair.

"She hasn't left you all these years. She knows a lot about you and remembers everything you like to eat. That's why the food she made this morning were all your favorite dishes."
