“Alright, alright, I’ll stop.” Tang Yiyi smiled and mimed zipping her lips shut. “Let’s eat, okay?”
It was already rare enough that Tang Jinyu had the time to eat dinner with her, so of course, she would not say too much and make angry… Granted, he would never truly be angry at her, anyway.
That being said, Tang Yiyi was quite curious about when Jian Qi would be discharged from the military.
“Brother, have you talked to Jian Qi about what I told you before?”
“Can we stop talking about her already?” Tang Jinyu said, his veins popping.
It was as if every aspect of his life was completely invaded by this girl named Jian Qi.
It had been so long since he last had a break, and yet even then he had to meet this girl, and now his own sister kept on bringing her up.
Tang Yiyi paused for a moment before smiling softly. “Alright, putting her aside, let’s talk about something else… Like, when are you going to get me a sister-in-law, for example?”
Tang Jinyu: “…”
***
In contrast to Tang Jinyu, Jian Qi was feeling like she was on the top of the world.
She had finally met Coco after such a long time, and now they were having dinner together with a handsome guy, and she could not be any happier.
After they were done eating, Coco and Jian Qi sent Qiao Bo home before the two of them went on their way.
“Baby, you are so much thinner now…” Coco sighed and looked at Jian Qi.
Jian Qi smiled. “You should praise me for becoming prettier!”
Coco. “…”
Narcissistic as always!
“How long are you planning to stay this time?” Coco asked.
“Two days. You’ve been so busy lately, am I causing you any trouble?”
“No, Qiao Bo doesn’t have anything other than his shoots, and I can have my assistant take care of that while I accommodate you for the next couple of days,” Coco replied nonchalantly.
“Great Coco, aren’t you being too laid-back? You’re going to get fired if you’re not serious!” Jian Qi teased.
“Who do you think I’m doing this for, young lady?”
“For me, I know.” Jian Qi giggled. “You’re not laid-back at all, you’re the most serious manager out there!”
The two of them returned to the condominium, and Jian Qi immediately flopped down onto the nearest sofa, sinking into the comfort and sighing in satisfaction.
“This is heaven!” Jian Qi could not help but exclaim.
Thinking back to the past days of grueling training, blood, sweat, and tears, this was the most comfortable she had been in a while!
Coco poured a cup of water for her before sitting down.
“Why don’t you just come back here and stop all that?”
“Things have just gotten on track, how can I give up just like that?” Jian Qi smiled, her eyes glinting with a strange light.
“You’re quite fixated on Tang Jinyu, aren’t you?” Coco sighed.
Jian Qi smiled and shrugged, neither denying nor confirming what Coco said.
In response to Jian Qi’s response, Coco could not help but remind her. “Baby, I need to tell you that the Master of the Tang Family doesn’t like people from the entertainment industry, so even if you’re in the army now, their family would still discriminate against you because you’ve been in the entertainment industry in the past. Are you sure Tang Jinyu is the one?”
Jian Qi could not help but chuckle at his words. “You don’t need to worry, Great Coco, go sleep so you can take me around town tomorrow. I have my ways, don’t worry!”
Coco sighed again. “Fine, fine, I’m gonna stop talking.”
Coco went to the kitchen and took out some fruits and placed them on the living room table before lying down on another sofa.
The two of them lay lazily in the living room without a single word, but the scene was nothing but warm and comforting.
Jian Qi lay there lazily, not wanting to move at all, knowing that these moments would be few and far between in the future.
That was the reason why she would spend her time to accompany this person that had always used his time to comply to her whims.
