Chapter 480: Chapter 478: In Terms of Affection and Reason, He Should be Responsible (additional update)

After Weng Cheng left.

Yin Qin called Ji Baijian.

“Weng Cheng is furious.” Yin Qin sounded somewhat triumphant.

Having been constantly compared to Weng Cheng, this moment of mocking him, of making him admit his defeat, felt unprecedentedly exhilarating!

In response to Yin Qin’s excitement, Ji Baijian simply replied, “I know.”

“What are you going to do next?”

“Keep an eye on Weng Cheng. Ye Wenhan will definitely take action.”

“Anything you need me to do?”

“Sort out your own mess.”

“What mess?” Yin Qin seemed somewhat annoyed.

“Your love life.” Ji Baijian gave him two words.

“…” Wasn’t he doing well?!

Yin Qin remained silent.

Ji Baijian said, “Marriage isn’t child’s play. Think it through.”

What else could he think?!

In an unconcerned tone, he said, “I’ve liked Baixin for many years! I’ve liked this woman since as long as I can remember, now that we can finally get married, what else do I need to think about?”

Ji Baijian seemed to scoff a few times.

Then, the call was cut off.

Yin Qin held his phone, somewhat dazed.

He just sat there in his office.

He felt somewhat hollow.

He had liked Ji Baixin for many years.

He truly had.

The recent disputes were simply because too many things had happened during this period. After this time passed, after both of them calmed down, things would turn out fine.

He stood up from his office chair, walked towards the large floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked at Jin City.

He felt dazed.

The office door was knocked.

“Come in.”

Wu Meili walked in from outside.

Yin Qin didn’t turn around.

Wu Meili began, “Chairman, the news…”

Wu Meili felt that during this period, she was like a gossip news reporter.

Her chairman was making the headlines thrice a day!

Yin Qin guessed what the news was about.

Once Ji Baixin’s issue was resolved using legal means, once it was exposed, the media would explode.

Seeing that Yin Qin wasn’t reacting, Wu Meili couldn’t help but remind him, “It’s about Miss Ji.”

“I know.”

“Is it because Miss Ji was violated that you chose to take responsibility for her? Not because you’ve played with her affections and have no feelings for Luo Xiaolang?” Wu Meili asked.

Yin Qin turned around and looked at his secretary.

He said, “Don’t be so gossipy.”

Wu Meili looked at Yin Qin.

She watched as Yin Qin suddenly picked up the coat hanging in the office, “I’m leaving first, call me if anything comes up.”

“…”

There was no need to think, he was definitely going back to comfort his “queen”.

But.

Wu Meili looked at the news on her mobile phone.

Did her chairman really like Ji Baixin or… was it simply out of responsibility?

She suddenly felt a bit confused.

She had always firmly believed that her chairman was a playboy, but at this moment suddenly felt that he seemed quite manly and noble!

Phew.

Wu Meili took a deep breath.

She was really worried sick about her chairman!

…

Yin Qin left the Milky Way, he drove back.

He had just glanced at the news about Ji Baixin a few times. As soon as the news broke out, the public’s sympathy for Baixin as well as the controversy against her emerged.

Sympathy was due to everything Ji Baixin had been through; controversy was because people felt she had exploited her vulnerability to ruin Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang’s wedding.

Regardless of sympathy or controversy, Yin Qin was clear that, given Ji Baixin’s personality, she wouldn’t accept either.

He parked his car in front of the International Mall.

He got out of the car and the valet parked it for him.

He walked into the mall and headed straight for the jewelry section.

He was going to buy a wedding ring for Ji Baixin.

They were getting married the day after tomorrow.

It was happening so fast.

His wedding always seemed very rushed and ill-prepared.

Last time, his mother was constantly nagging him to do this and that. This time, there was nothing.

They didn’t even take wedding photos.

He guessed a ceremonial event would suffice.

The Ji family seemed indifferent.

After all, according to the customs of Yanshang Country, marriage preparation is primarily men’s responsibility. If the man remained silent, the woman wouldn’t be proactive. His mother simply let him do whatever he wanted and there were no preparations for the wedding.

But a ring… was necessary.

As soon as he walked in.

The receptionist immediately recognized him and warmly greeted, “Young Master Yin.”

“I’m picking out a ring.”

“Again?” The receptionist blurted out.

Yin Qin smiled, even joking, “You’re obviously someone who doesn’t care about national affairs. Haven’t you been following the news?”

“…”

A sales clerk at the jewelry shop quickly came up, “I saw it. Young Master Yin is here to buy a wedding ring for Miss Ji.”

Yin Qin nodded.

The clerk said, “We have a few new designs; you’ll definitely like them. Please come this way.”

Yin Qin followed the clerk, sat in the VIP room, and watched as the clerk brought over several rings.

Yin Qin was choosing.

Then he pointed at a ring and said, “This one will do.”

“This one?” The sales clerk confirmed.

“Yes.” Yin Qin nodded.

The sales clerk was dumbfounded for a moment.

Picking out a ring this time was a bit too fast.

Last time, he had taken a long time.

She hadn’t even had time to introduce it fully, and he had already made a decision?

The clerk didn’t say much, accepted Yin Qin’s credit card to process the payment, packaged it neatly, and handed it over to him.

“Also wrap a bunch of fresh flowers for me.” Yin Qin requested.

“Alright.”

High-end jewelry stores typically offer these services.

The sales clerk handed him a bouquet of flowers.

Yin Qin took it and left the jewelry store.

The sales clerk respectfully bid him farewell.

After he left, I couldn’t help but sigh, “I suddenly feel that Yin Qin doesn’t really like Ji Baixin.”

“How can you tell?” asked a curious saleswoman standing nearby.

“Didn’t you see how casual he was when choosing the ring?”

“Isn’t that how all men are? They always complain about the trouble. If they can go out of their way to buy flowers and rings, that’s already commendable. Don’t expect too much.”

No, that’s not it.

It wasn’t like this last time.

He took a long time choosing and was very serious about it.

Even though he kept saying that no ring would look good on Luo Xiaolang, that woman, he still enthusiastically picked one out for her, until he was completely satisfied.

Yin Qin walked out of the building with the diamond ring and flowers in his hands.

After walking for a few steps,

he saw Luo Xiaolang.

He wasn’t mistaken, it was indeed Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang was out shopping, pushing a baby stroller with Mrs. Wu.

It seemed that they were done shopping and were leaving.

Without a second thought, Yin Qin went straight to them.

Luo Xiaolang saw Yin Qin approaching her with a large bouquet.

Her face changed slightly.

Mrs. Wu was very enthusiastic, “Young Master, what are you doing here? Is this large bouquet for Miss Ji?”

Only then did Yin Qin realize he was still holding the flowers.

He handed the flowers directly to Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu was confused.

“Hold these for me, I want to hold the baby tigers.” Saying this, he bent down to lift the baby from the stroller.

The little tiger was growing bigger and bigger every day, so his sleep time had decreased. At this moment, he was awake.

Yin Qin held the baby tiger in his arms, affectionately.

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, he teased the little tiger, looking somewhat silly.

Luo Xiaolang had been waiting for a long time and was getting impatient.

She said, “We’re leaving.”

Yin Qin held the little tiger tightly in his arms.

“He needs to be fed soon,” Luo Xiaolang reminded him.

Yin Qin was reluctant to let go.

Luo Xiaolang held out her hand.

She wanted Yin Qin to return the baby to her.

Yin Qin was incredibly reluctant.

“Yin Qin!”

Yin Qin eventually returned the little tiger to Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang gently placed the baby back in the stroller and walked away.

Yin Qin kept watching.

Luo Xiaolang was really cold-hearted.

She said they couldn’t be friends and really didn’t even give him a second glance.

Women were indeed the most ruthless creatures in the world.

“Young Master, your flowers.” Mrs. Wu returned the bouquet to Yin Qin and quickly followed Luo Xiaolang.

Yin Qin watched their retreating figures, Luo Xiaolang’s tall and thin silhouette.

Luo Xiaolang still didn’t dress up; she didn’t use makeup or style her hair and dressed very casually.

But… he felt that Luo Xiaolang looked much different from his image of her.

She used to look quite sturdy.

But now she was clearly taller, only taller.

Luo Xiaolang paid no attention to the gaze from behind, she walked out of the main entrance, and the carriage was quickly brought over to her.

She had been out to purchase things today.

The baby tiger was short on milk powder, clothes, and other necessities. Before shopping, Luo Xiaolang had gone to buy a car.

She was attracted to the large SUV, feeling that a bigger car was more stylish. Moreover, with the baby tiger came more luggage, so she bought a relatively large car.

The dealer quoted 1.36 million, and without haggling or caring about the price, she bought it.

There happened to be stock available; she bought the insurance and completed the paperwork at the dealership before driving off immediately, after which she picked up the baby tiger and Mrs. Wu and headed to the mall.

She bought many things; everything here was expensive hence home delivery service was provided.

All the items she purchased would be delivered directly to her home, so she didn’t have to carry multiple bags.

After a round of frantic shopping and paying, she realized that she had almost run out of money.

Mrs. Wu also saw the balance in Luo Xiaolang’s account, “If you run out of money, ask the lady to transfer some to you.”

The lady Mrs. Wu referred to is naturally Qin Keqin.

Mrs. Wu clearly saw how much Qin Keqin liked Luo Xiaolang.

She would never allow Luo Xiaolang and the baby tiger to be penniless.

At that moment, Luo Xiaolang didn’t refuse, but she felt a little unusual.

She was driving on the street.

Mrs. Wu sat in the back seat holding the baby tiger.

The baby tiger was already a little tired and soon fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.

Mrs. Wu looked at the sleeping baby tiger before opening her mouth to say, “The young master must have gone to propose to Miss Ji.”

Luo Xiaolang showed no emotion.

As for what Yin Qin wanted to do, it was his business. She wouldn’t bother.

“I still remember the scene when the young master proposed to you,” Mrs. Wu suddenly said, sighing, “Being young is wonderful.”

Luo Xiaolang didn’t think there was anything wonderful about it.

Now, she didn’t even want to recall the scene of Yin Qin’s proposal at all.

“I wonder if the young master will do it in the same way this time… Ah, so soon, you guys broke up just a short while ago and the young master is already so eager to marry Miss Ji… I don’t know what the young master is thinking, he doesn’t seem to have considered you at all…”

Luo Xiaolang interrupted, “Mrs. Wu, let’s not talk about him anymore.”

Mrs. Wu was taken aback.

She thought Luo Xiaolang didn’t care.

For such a long time, it seemed that she hadn’t been heartbroken over the young master. When she faced the young master, she seemed calm. Mrs. Wu thought Luo Xiaolang had truly moved on, so she gossiped unabashedly in front of her.

Luo Xiaolang didn’t bother with Mrs. Wu’s embarrassment, she asked, “Mrs. Wu, shouldn’t people earn their own money?”

“What?” Mrs. Wu was somewhat surprised.

“I mean, for example, me. Shouldn’t I go out and earn money myself instead of always thinking about relying on others to give me money?”

“No need,” Mrs. Wu quickly said. “The Yin family is so rich. They have more than enough to support you and the baby tiger. Furthermore, the baby tiger is the legitimate heir of the Yin family. He will inherit the family fortune in the future. You don’t need to go out and earn money.”

Luo Xiaolang nodded slightly.

But at that moment, she did not agree with Mrs. Wu’s viewpoint.

If…

If she couldn’t support the baby tiger on her own, she would always be entwined with the Yin family.

She really didn’t want to rely on their family.

She really didn’t want to have any relationship with Yin Qin.

She silently thought about these things.

At that moment, Yin Qin was also driving and thinking about things.

He was driving very slowly, at a snail’s pace.

The many cars behind him kept urging him to speed up, but he didn’t care.

He was somewhat reluctant to face what he had to do next.

In the end, however, he did park his car under Ji Baixin’s apartment building.

He looked at the bouquet beside him.

After all these years of liking Ji Baixin, after all these years of liking him, they were going to get married the day after tomorrow. What else should he hesitate about?

Moreover, he cannot deny that everything that happened to Ji Baixin was because of him.

Whether it was Ji Baixin’s first kidnapping which led to her miscarriage, or this time she was violated, it was all because of him.

Both emotionally and logically, he cannot shirk his responsibility!
