Wei Ji touched his head and said with inexplicable joy, “I live next door to you. If you have anything to do tonight, you can look for me.”
Lin Yin nodded.
Wei Yan smiled and said, “Also, Ah Xuan asked me to say goodnight to you, so,
Yinyin, goodnight!”
Lin Yin smiled and asked, ‘Why didn’t she come herself?”
“Grandpa didn’t allow it. He said she would disturb you. He even asked someone to keep an eye on her and not let her come out and fool around,” Wei Ji replied from a spot not far from the bed. His voice was neither loud nor soft. It was no longer as happy as before. Instead, it was filled with melancholy.
As if he did not want his emotions to affect Lin Yin, he forced a smile and said,
“Then I’ll go back first. Yinyin, rest well. Good night.”
Lin Yin nodded. After seeing Wei Ji turn around and limp away, Lin Yin couldn’t help but ask, “Wei Ji, have you been very unhappy in the Wei family all these years?”
Wei Ji’s lips curled into a bleak smile. His voice was filled with sadness and lightness. “Whether you’re happy or not, you have to survive. Why do you care about that?”
Lin Yin was silent for a few seconds before asking tentatively, “If I made you leave the Wei Family with Wei Xuan and live your lives incognito, would you be willing?
Lin Yin had thought about the Wei Family’s current situation. It might be difficult for her to help Wei Ji seize the power of the Wei Family, but she felt that she should be able to let Wei Ji leave the Wei Family and live her life quietly.
For example, she could fake their deaths and secretly bring Wei Ji and Wei Xuan to live outside of where the Wei Family had power.
Wei Ji slowly turned around and asked with red eyes, “Then, I’ll live like a rat in the sewers and never appear where there are people from the Wei Family?” Lin Yin couldn’t speak because she saw the sadness and humiliation in Wei Ji’s
eyes.
As if realizing that he had gone overboard with his words, Wei Ji quickly took two steps forward and became careful with Lin Yin again. “I’m sorry, Yinyin. I was suddenly in a bad mood just now. I didn’t mean to question you. I know you’re doing this for my own good. It’s just that just now, I thought that if I ran away secretly, Ah Xuan and I might not even be able to use our identity cards
normally in the future and have to hide tor the rest of our lives. I telt angry and indignant for a moment. It’s not directed at you.”
Lin Yin only pursed her lips and smiled. “You’re right. I was too naive. You and Ah Xuan are only 18 years old. You still have a long way to go. How can you keep hiding?”
Looking at Lin Yin’s bitter smile, Wei Ji became anxious. “Yinyin, I didn’t mean to scold you. I’m sorry. I was wrong. Don’t be unhappy.”
Lin Yin only smiled and said, “I’m not unhappy. I’m just a little sad for you. Wei
Ji, go back and rest early.”
Wei Ji was about to say something when he was stopped by Lin Yin’s smiling gaze. He turned around and left Lin Yin’s room resentfully.
When the two people guarding the door saw Wei Ji come out dejectedly, they looked into the house curiously and slowly closed the door.
“Look at him. He looks pitiful. No wonder Miss Lin Yin dotes on him more.” Long Huang started to shake his head and comment again.
“Aren’t you talking nonsense? People sympathize with the weak. If Wei Ji was as strong as a ghost, why would he need someone to protect him? Are you stupid?” Dong Yi said bluntly.
Long Huang suddenly widened her eyes and raised her voice. “Hey, don’t attack me personally! It’s too insulting.”
Dong Yi quickly covered Long Huang’s mouth. “Lower your voice!”
The rustling at the door did not affect Lin Yin. She was still thinking about how Wei Ji could get rid of the two families of the Wei Family.
Escaping really didn’t seem to work. Should she use a fake identity card and hide? Or should she leave her hometown and go overseas to be a foreigner forever?
It was as if these choices carried a sense of helplessness.
But if she did not escape, she would be facing the enemy head-on. Was she going to help Wei Ji take over the Wei Family?
Lin Yin narrowed her eyes. She still did not know much about the Wei Family. It seemed like she had to investigate more about the Wei Family before she could make a decision.
Lin Yin closed her eyes slightly. As she thought about things in a daze, she began to feel sleepy.
In her half-asleep state, Lin Yin sensed a knock on the door and immediately opened her eyes warily..
