“Mom, what are you talking about?”

Ji Qingyan said. “Now isn’t the time for this.”

“Why not?” Song Minghui responded.

“You’re not getting any younger. In a few years, you’ll be thirty. If you keep delaying, having children might become an issue.”

Ji Qingyan, ‘…Standing amidst a sea of flowers, petals swirling in the air, she lowered her gaze, graceful and unmatched.’

No matter how you look at it, getting married late doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t have children.

After scolding Ji Qingyan, Song Minghui turned her attention to Lin Yi.

“Little Yi, I have your mothers’ WeChat contact details. We often chat when we’re free, and we all agree that if you two don’t have any other issues, it’s time to start planning. There’s no reason to keep dragging this out.”

“Auntie, I’ve been thinking the same thing for a while now, but your daughter doesn’t agree. It’s really not my fault.”

Ji Qingyan shot Lin Yi a sharp look but didn’t say anything.

Instead, she chose to resist Song Minghui’s pressure in silence.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Ji Antai reprimanded.

“You used to stick to Lin Yi like glue. Now that it’s time for something serious, you’ve got nothing to say?”

“There’s nothing to discuss. You shouldn’t meddle in my affairs. I have my own thoughts.”

“Thoughts? What thoughts?” Song Minghui said.

“Every time I ask, you say you have your own thoughts. You’ve been thinking for so long, and still, there’s no outcome.”

Ji Qingyan sat on the sofa, clutching the hem of her nightgown, remaining silent for a long time.

Lin Yi sighed quietly, then stood up.

“Uncle, Auntie, I have other things to attend to. It’s getting late. You should rest early.”

“It’s already past midnight. Driving at this hour isn’t safe.”

Song Minghui insisted, holding onto Lin Yi, clearly not intending to let him leave.

“Just stay the night.”

“Stay the night? That’s not appropriate, is it?”

“What’s inappropriate about it?” Song Minghui said.

“Even though you two aren’t married yet, your uncle and I already consider you our son-in-law, so we won’t bother with formalities. We have extra toiletries. Go freshen up and get some sleep, so you won’t be late for work tomorrow.”

“Mom, what are you saying?” Ji Qingyan stomped her foot in frustration.

“Stop pretending you don’t want this. Your father might not notice, but I can tell you two have been at odds lately,” Song Minghui said.

“I don’t pry into young people’s affairs, but it’s normal for couples to have their ups and downs. You need to give each other a chance to step back. Holding onto resentment isn’t good for anyone. Don’t be so stubborn.”

Both Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan were surprised by how perceptive Song Minghui was.

She had noticed the tension between them for quite some time.

“Alright, go upstairs.”

Song Minghui urged, leading them up to the second floor and into Ji Qingyan’s room.

Bang!

After completing her mission, Song Minghui quickly exited the room, closing the door behind her.

The room fell into a quiet and somewhat awkward atmosphere.

If they hadn’t gone through that kidnapping incident, sharing a room now would likely be very uncomfortable.

But now, there was a subtle, indescribable feeling lingering between them.

It was hard to explain.

Perhaps it was true that people who have faced life and death together couldn’t be easily separated.

“You can choose where you want to sleep.”

Ji Qingyan said while standing by the window, keeping a certain distance from Lin Yi.

She seemed to avoid his gaze.

“To be honest, I’ve been to your house many times, but I’ve never slept in your bed. I’ll sleep here tonight,” Lin Yi said with a grin.

Ji Qingyan nodded. “I’ll sleep on the floor.”

Lin Yi chuckled. “Alright, sleep wherever you want. I’m taking the bed.”

Ji Qingyan glared at Lin Yi but said nothing. She grabbed some bedding, laid it on the floor, and prepared to sleep.

Lin Yi didn’t waste time either, lying down on the bed without further ceremony.

Given Ji Qingyan’s personality, there was no way she would share the bed with him until their issues were resolved.

There was no point in debating where to sleep.

For Lin Yi, being here and having the chance to share a room was already an unexpected gain. He couldn’t have asked for more.

Before falling asleep, Lin Yi turned off the light.

Pale moonlight filtered through the thin curtains, casting faint beams across the room.

Neither of them felt sleepy, both lost in their thoughts.

“Are you still upset about that matter?”

Lin Yi asked softly.

“I don’t want to talk to you.”

“If you don’t want to talk to me, why did you respond?”

“I don’t want to deal with you. Don’t disturb my sleep. I have work tomorrow.”

“I could buy out Chaoyang Group tomorrow, so you wouldn’t have to work anymore.”

“Just try!”

“There’s nothing in this world that I wouldn’t dare to do,” Lin Yi said.

“And avoiding this won’t help. You belong to me, now and forever. I’ll never give up on you.”

Ji Qingyan didn’t respond immediately. After a long silence, she finally spoke.

“I don’t care about anything you’ve done in the past. Just promise me you’ll cut ties with her, and I’ll forgive you.”

“No problem!” Lin Yi replied without hesitation.

Although he had no intention of giving up on Liang Ruoxu, there was no reason to hesitate at this moment.

“Don’t lie to me,” Ji Qingyan said.

“I know who you are, and I know you won’t give her up.”

“Is that why you’ve been so conflicted?”

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

Ji Qingyan’s voice suddenly grew soft, even choked with emotion.

“I’m just an ordinary woman. I want someone who loves me completely, someone to marry and start a family with. But you can’t give me what I want.”

“Why can’t I? Don’t be so absolute.”

“Can your love be divided equally between two people?”

“I can give you everything you want.”

“I don’t want anything except for you to belong only to me.”

“I do belong only to you.”

“But not exclusively to me, right?” Ji Qingyan said.

“When you’re with me, you’re mine. When you’re with her, you’re hers. I don’t like playing word games.”

“Are you going to give up?”

“I have no choice. You’ve pushed me to a dead end, forcing me to face this.”

“Then you’d better think it through. We’ve known each other the longest. Are you really going to give me up to someone else? Is that still the Ji Qingyan who always strives to be the best?”
