The next day, Lin Luoqing took time to go to Boyuan and brought Lin Fei with him.
This was Lin Fei’s first time here. Lin Luoqing took him all the way up to the elevator to the CEO’s office.
“Sit.” Lin Luoqing carried him to the chair behind the desk.
Lin Fei sat blankly without knowing the reason.
Lin Luoqing stood a bit far away and saw his cold face. He thought that Lin Fei was quite handsome and looked like a little tyrant. So cute!
He watched Lin Fei sit on the chair for a long time until Lin Fei looked at him helplessly. Then he hugged Lin Fei again and put him in front of the glass of the French window, looking at the scenery outside the window with him.
“Is it nice?” He asked.
Lin Fei’s tone was indifferent. “There is nothing to see.”
“Do you like this room?”
“It is so-so.” Lin Fei still had that calm look.
Lin Luoqing touched his head. “It’s okay. Then once you grow up and sit in this seat, you can change it to the style you like.”
Lin Fei didn’t quite understand. “Will I come here when I grow up?”
“Of course. This place was made by your grandfather and grandmother. If your mother was still here then it would belong to your mother. However, your mother is gone so it belongs to you.”
Lin Fei blinked in a slightly confused manner.
“Shouldn’t it belong to you?” He asked. “You also belong to Grandpa and Grandma…”
Once he said this, he stopped and remembered. Lin Luoqing wasn’t his uncle, he was Lin Luoqing from another world.
Lin Luoqing saw his unfinished words and knew he had reacted.
He looked at Lin Fei with a smile, “You know I’m not, so I can’t occupy it. It is yours now and in the future. However, you are too young right now, so I will help you keep it first. Once you are a little older in the future, at least 18 years old, I will return it to you. At that time, it will have nothing to do with me.”
Lin Fei listened to his words and wasn’t very satisfied.
He looked at the sunlight jumping on Lin Luoqing’s face. This sunlight was very beautiful. It was clearly on his face but when he moved, the sunshine disappeared. Lin Fei reached out to hold the sunlight on his face and his immature fingers touched Lin Luoqing’s cheek as if wanting to help him keep this sunshine.
“It isn’t occupying.” His voice was soft. The sunlight poured down his fingers and his fingertips were dyed gold.
“You are my dad. If it belongs to me then it belongs to you. Even if I grow up, it will belong to you. It doesn’t have nothing to do with you.”
Lin Luoqing was a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected Lin Fei to focus on this.
Sure enough, he was still a child. Adults would only be happy to own such a company. Meanwhile, a child would care about the words ‘occupying’ and ‘no relationship.’
He held Lin Fei’s hand and leaned slightly close, face gentle and warm.
Lin Fei noticed that as he came over, the sunlight on his face slowly left his cheek. But the hand holding him was still warm and comfortable.
“Okay.” Lin Luoqing smiled. “It isn’t occupying it. Dad will help you keep it first and then hand it over to you when you grow up. Is this okay?”
Lin Fei shook his head. “Don’t give it to me. It also belongs to you. Even if I grow up, it still belongs to you.”
Lin Luoqing felt that there was a wind blowing in his heart, opening up sleeping buds. It was soft and light with a hint of sweetness. It was alluring.
Lin Fei stared at him with focused eyes.
He was always looking forward to growing up, but even if he grew up, he didn’t want to be separated from Lin Luoqing.
He wanted to grow up next to Lin Luoqing. When he grew up, he wanted it to still belong to him.
Lin Fei suddenly smiled slightly like he had thought of something funny.
Even when I grow up, it belongs to you.
Even when I grow up, I belong to you.
Both characters were ‘ta’ but it meant something different. (TL: the ta in the first sentence means it while the ta in the second sentence is more like a gender-neutral term that can be used for him/her)
Lin Luoqing didn’t understand why he was suddenly smiling and asked curiously, “What are you smiling at?”
“Nothing,” Lin Fei answered in a low voice.
He raised his eyes to look at Lin Luoqing and they were extremely clear.
“I also belong to you,” he said. “Even if I grow up, I belong to you and I don’t have nothing to do with you.”
He said these words softly and like he was hiding a secret. It was like a child’s promise to himself and to Lin Luoqing.
Lin Luoqing didn’t hear the difference between the two words and thought he was just emphasizing it. He hugged Lin Fei affectionately, kissing his face again and again.
Lin Fei knew that Lin Luoqing didn’t hear it after seeing him like this. He felt a bit of joy in his heart and instinctively smiled again.
They would never be unrelated, he thought. Even if he grew up, this person would be his father, the father who was always there for him.
Lin Luoqing took Lin Fei around Boyuan, chatted with the vice president invited by Ji Yuxiao and was ready to go home.
Lin Fei said goodbye to the vice president politely and was led into the elevator by Lin Luoqing.
The vice president was a bit curious and sent a WeChat message to Lin Luoqing: [Who is that child?]
Lin Luoqing didn’t see it until he was sitting in the car. Then he replied with a smile: [Your future boss.]
The vice president, “……”
Lin Luoqing put away his phone and hugged Lin Fei while looking out the window with him.
Lin Bo was quiet for a few days before finally calling Lin Luoqing.
He wasn’t stupid. He naturally knew the current situation and that there was no chance of winning against Lin Luoqing. It was better to maintain the false father-son relationship than to really go to court.
“I cleaned up your mother and sister’s rooms.”
“Yes,” Lin Luoqing said calmly.
“If you have time, you can come back and take a look.”
“It isn’t necessary,” Lin Luoqing refused. “Don’t worry. I am very busy. I won’t target you as long as you don’t take the initiative to provoke me. I just want to take revenge on you. I don’t want to kill you.”
Lin Bo was silent. He thought that Lin Luoqing would want to come back since he emphasized his mother’s room, but this wasn’t the case.
It was true. Things were different and people were different. Qiu Yongxin had been gone for so many years. What was the point of taking a look?
Lin Luoqing just wanted him to return the belongings to their original owners, nothing more. He had no nostalgia for this home, the home that he was thrown out of.
Lin Luoqing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. Seeing that Lin Bo had stopped talking, he hung up the phone directly and continued to busy himself with his own affairs.
Qin Meng soon asked the company’s legal team to draw up a contract with Yu Jiayou and send it to him.
Lin Luoqing looked it over carefully and found that there were no problems. Therefore, he went to Ji Yuxiao and asked him to help take a look.
“There are no problems.” Ji Yuxiao raised his head after reading it. He handed back the contract and asked, “When will you sign the contract with Yu Jiayou?”
“Tomorrow,” Lin Luoqing said.
Ji Yuxiao nodded slightly. “Okay. I’m not busy tomorrow so I will send you there.”
“Then thank you, Handsome Ji~” Lin Luoqing winked at him.
Ji Yuxiao chuckled. “Are you imitating your son turning a blind eye?”
“Of course not.” Lin Luoqing gave him a dissatisfied look. “I’m obviously winking.”
He finished speaking and winked at Ji Yuxiao again. “Does it look good?”
Ji Yuxiao stood up and approached. Before Lin Luoqing could react, he pressed against the back of Lin Luoqing’s head and kissed his eye.
“Very good,” he whispered. “It is very cute.”
Lin Luoqing’s cheeks instantly became hot.
He instinctively pushed Ji Yuxiao away and walked out. “I’m going back to tell Yu Jiayou about meeting tomorrow.”
“Oh,” Ji Yuxiao said with a smile.
Lin Luoqing walked to the door with a sullen expression. He opened the door before stopping again.
His face was still hot and the sweetness in his heart was like a pirate ship in an amusement park, swaying non-stop. He wasn’t very calm.
He held the doorknob and felt the pirate ship in his heart swinging more and more.
Lin Luoqing finally couldn’t hold back. He turned around and ran toward Ji Yuxiao.
Ji Yuxiao seemed to be waiting for him to come back. He opened his arms and hugged Lin Luoqing. Lin Luoqing raised his head and kissed Ji Yuxiao on the lips with a bright smile on his face.
Ji Yuxiao kissed him hard on the lips.
The two of them kissed for a while until Lin Luoqing was a bit dizzy. Then he slowly pushed Ji Yuxiao away.
“I haven’t explained to Yu Jiayou about tomorrow’s matter yet,” Lin Luoqing said in a low voice. “I’ll go back first.”
“Go ahead.” Ji Yuxiao pinched his face, leaned close to his ear and whispered, “It’s so hot.”
Lin Luoqing, “!!!”
Lin Luoqing pushed him away in anger and turned to walk out.
Really, Ji Yuxiao must’ve done it on purpose!
Always teasing him!
Ji Yuxiao looked at his back as he quickly fled. Then Ji Yuxiao leaned against the table and laughed.
His wife was still as cute as ever. He lowered his head and twisted his fingers together, which were still warm to touch.
Lin Luoqing went back to the bedroom and made an appointment with Yu Jiayou about where and when to meet tomorrow.
“At that time, Xiao Ning will also go together,” Yu Jiayou told him.
“Okay.” Lin Luoqing had no opinion. “I will also bring someone with me at the time. He is my brother. You don’t have a problem with that, do you?”
“No.”
“Then that’s fine.”
The two of them finished speaking and hung up the phone.
In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao went out together toward the hotel agreed upon with Yu Jiayou.
Ji Yuxiao originally planned to just send him to the door of the hotel and not participate in the meeting. Who would’ve thought that Lin Luoqing would naturally ask him after getting out of the car, “Why aren’t you getting off?”
It was only then that Ji Yuxiao found out that he had misunderstood.
But looking at it this way… Lin Luoqing didn’t seem to reject him from entering his work. Ji Yuxiao got out of the car like a gentleman and entered the hotel with Lin Luoqing.
It was still the hotel and private room from last time.
Yu Jiayou stood up the moment Ji Yuxiao entered.
He looked at Ji Yuxiao in shock. “Ji Yuxiao?”
Ji Yuxiao smiled. “Yes.”
Yu Jiayou, “……”
Yu Jiayou silently looked at Lin Luoqing and thought, ‘Your brother? Your brother is Ji Yuxiao? What a joke! Ji Yuxiao doesn’t have a little brother!’
Wait, he suddenly remembered that Xingyi belonged to the Ji Group. Wasn’t that under Ji Yuxiao’s name?
So this time, it was the employee who signed the contract and the boss followed along?
Was calling him a brother just a cover?
Really, wasn’t it just signing him? Was it worth Ji Yuxiao appearing in person?
Yu Jiayou’s face was very disdainful but joy was already soaring in his heart.
Hahaha, he knew that he was indeed a genius. In order to successfully sign him, Ji Yuxiao personally came to see him!
As expected!
He was thinking so when he thought of something else and silently looked toward Ji Yuxiao’s legs.
“Are you well?” Yui Jiayou asked curiously while looking at the other person’s long and straight legs and his dashing standing posture.
Ji Yuxiao nodded. “Yes.”
“You cherish words like gold.” Yu Jiayou commented. “Why? You know that your company is going to sign me and you can’t wait to see how capable I am?”
Ji Yuxiao felt that this person was thinking too much. “I just came to send off Luoqing.”
Yu Jiayou didn’t believe that Ji Yuxiao, a proud son of heaven, would condescend to send off Lin Luoqing, a star. It was definitely to accept Yu Jiayou.
“I can tell you that I definitely won’t lower my requirements and standards just because the other person is you.”
“Feel free.”
Yu Jiayou turned to look at Lin Luoqing and comforted him, “It’s okay, don’t be pressured. He is mainly here to investigate me. I understand. This matter has nothing to do with you.”
Lin Luoqing thought, “…Ah, this…”
Lin Luoqing smiled. “Director Yu is really considerate.”
Yu Jiayou wasn’t modest. “I have always taken good care of others.”
Ning Yu who was sitting next to Yu Jiayou, “……”
Ning Yu silently held his forehead. He quietly approached Yu Jiayou’s side and whispered, “President Ji and Teacher Lin know each other. President Ji is Teacher Lin’s brother and President Ji has come to visit Teacher Lin before.”
