In the early morning, Dongqing arrived at her blissful home and was immediately stunned when she saw Ji Shanglin.
Oh my god, did the couple attack each other aside from talking yesterday?
[What is wrong with the imprint of the palm on the Third Master's face?
And those dark circles under his eyes …
Dong Qing's surprised expression was naturally met with Ji Shanglin's cold eyes. He quickly regained his senses. "Three …" "Lord Third, breakfast."
Ji Shanglin didn't say anything as he stood up with a dark expression and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Dong Qing quickly placed the breakfast on the table and quietly took out a plate. As she cleaned the breakfast, she began to quietly search for Nan Xi's figure.
Could it be … Third Master had slept on the sofa last night, while the Lady Boss and Young Master were sleeping in the room?
Dong Qing naturally didn't dare to go to her bedroom and knock on the door. After setting up breakfast, she went to the living room to sort out the information that Ji Shanglin had seen last night.
Ji Shanglin came out of the bathroom wearing a nightgown and wiping his hair with a towel.
Dongqing quickly stood up to report the situation.
"Master San, Director Xiao called this morning to ask if you have time to visit the dam today. He mentioned it during yesterday's tour."
"No!" Ji Shanglin rejected him immediately.
Ordinarily, Ji Shanglin's words were spoken in a friendly manner, but today, his words were laced with a hint of bitterness and filled with anger.
"We've already verified the information we received from Angel City the day before yesterday. We followed the vines to look for people, and the clues ended up with a vegetable. There's no way to find out anymore."
He didn't know who had spread the news … Said that I saw you before Gu Lianqing went missing. "
When he mentioned the name Gu Lianqing, Ji Shanglin immediately furrowed his brows, his gaze dark.
Right now, he hated hearing this person's name the most. After all, everything that Nan Xi had done was for this person!
Jealousy was a woman's nature, not a woman's patent. Who could say that men didn't have it?
Ji Shanglin didn't like to mention Gu Lianqing, mainly because he was jealous.
At least he, Gu Lianqing, had a woman who loved him so much, no matter how stupid or barbaric she was. But he, Ji Shanglin … There were thousands and thousands of women surrounding him, none of them were sincere!
But in this aspect, he was not as happy as Gu Lianqing.
Dong Qing realized that something was wrong and quickly changed the topic.
"The madame and the madame at home have both called to inquire about the young master's situation. They are worried that you and the young master can return as soon as possible."
Ji Shanglin's face was still dark and silent, and his brows were knitted even tighter.
Dong Qing saw that the more he talked about Ji Shanglin, the more annoyed he became, so he chose a good thing to talk about.
"We've already connected to the Nan Family's business. The Nan Family will probably get the news that the other party is going to stop working with them in the afternoon.
And the company's new project, Sales has … "
"Mama!" Before Dongqing could finish speaking, Ji Yimeng's voice rang out from the bedroom.
Ji Shanglin threw away the towel in his hand and strode towards the bedroom.
Ji Jing rubbed his eyes as he sat on the bed. He looked very silly and adorable. "Where's Mama?"
Ji Shanglin really didn't want to talk about that damnable woman!
"Dead!"
When the little guy heard this, he was stunned. In the next second, he suddenly burst into tears, his heart tearing and lung splitting as he yelled, "I want, my ass!" I want my mother! "Mama!"
Ji Shanglin was frightened by his son's reaction. This child had always been a silent and taciturn person. He hadn't cried like this in over a year!
Realizing that he was being too impulsive, he quickly sat down on the bed and said softly, "Pulling out means that your hair is wet. You have work to do, so you went out on a mission."
Ji Jingyi pouted as she sobbed, looking at him with misty eyes.
Ji Shanglin was unhappy at the bottom of his heart. His son relied too much on that dead woman!
However, she still raised her hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of his eyes, "Mama will be back soon, she told you to be good and wait for her at home."
Ji Jing didn't speak nor did he continue to cry, but it was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
After changing into clean clothes, Ji Shanglin washed up and sat at the dining table to eat breakfast.
Dong Qing didn't know what had happened, but when she saw that there was no sign of Nan Xi in the room, she was still surprised. Had the Lady Boss left home in a bad mood?
He was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask …
Nan Xi hadn't returned for a whole day. During this entire day, no matter what Ji Xuelin and Dong Qing did, Ji Jingyi didn't speak up, nor did he reveal a smile.
The next day, before Nan Xi had returned, not a single message was received. On the other hand, the handprint on Ji Shanglin's face had faded quite a bit.
On the third day, in order to attract his son's interest, Ji Shanglin came up with a plan. He asked Dongqing to buy a balloon ribbon and fresh flowers for him.
"Son, let's dress up the house and welcome Mama home!"
On the other hand, the little guy was quite interested. Seeing Ji Shanglin bustling around, he was also giving out commands from the side. However, he still didn't say anything and only used his pinky finger.
After three days had passed, Ji Shanglin's face had recovered, but there was no sign of him in Nanxi, nor was there a phone message. However, Ji Jingyi refused to speak!
In the evening, the little guy's mood had dropped to the bottom. He thought that the family would come back after dressing up like a mother, but it was already dark outside and there was still no sign of a mother.
It was obvious that he was not in a good mood as he was always frowning while carrying him on his back. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room and reading the documents, but it was obvious that he did not see through it.
The little guy took a piece of paper and wrote a word on it. He asked Ji Shanglin, "When will Mama be back?"
Ji Shanglin could only lie, "He'll be back soon enough."
Seeing that the little guy didn't make a sound, Ji Shanglin added, "I'll be back tomorrow. I'll pull you out and coax you to sleep."
Little Treasure was happy. After all, it was easy to coax a child's age, but Ji Shanglin wasn't a child. He couldn't sleep anymore!
The two of them looked like pitiful remaining children.
The next morning, Ji Shanglin was woken up by his son, "Pulling up, it's dawn. Where's Mama?"
Looking at the little guy's expectant gaze, Ji Shanglin felt his heart ache. "She …" "He hasn't woken up yet, but he'll definitely be back today."
Ji Jingyi nodded and didn't say anything else. It was unknown what was on that little brat's mind, but his expression was mixed with happiness and sorrow.
Ji Shanglin was worried, but his son's mood was as depressed as if he had fallen into a lovesick state.
After breakfast, Ji Shanglin put down his work and sat beside Ji Jingyi, asking, "Son, shall we play games today?"
The little guy did not utter a word.
Ji Shanglin took the card, pointed at the red apple, and asked, "Take a look at what this is?"
Ji Jingtian raised his eyelids, but ignored him.
Ji Shanglin was immediately displeased. He thought back to the excited look on the little guy's face when he was playing guessing games with Ji Jingyi … There was a huge difference between now and now.
A sense of defeat hit him.
Embarrassed and helpless, he threw away the card in his hand, got up and walked to the balcony to light a cigarette. After a long time, he called Dong Qing to the balcony and said,
"Go and find out where South Stream is now?"
Seeing Ji Shanglin finally mention his future mistress, Dong Qing immediately said excitedly.
"I've already found out. These few days, Miss Nan has always been at her little Tang Wei's house. Other than going to the bar twice to drink, I've never been anywhere else!" Tang Wei hasn't been to the hospital for three days. He said that he had taken a leave of absence. "
Ji Shanglin knitted his brows. Both he and his son were at home and they weren't having a good time, but she still had the mood to run out and drink?!
A heartless woman!
Looking at Dong Qing's excited expression, Ji Shanglin looked at him with a dark expression, deep in thought.
Dong Qing knew that her performance was a bit over the top, so she quickly explained, "I was worried that the young master would suddenly want someone, so I investigated the location of Miss Nan in advance."
Ji Shanglin didn't pay any attention to him. He silently stared at Ji Jing through the glass for a while before he said to Dongqing,
"Go and call her back."
"Yes!" I'll go right now! "
Dong Qing immediately nodded, her response confident and excited. He had long since wanted to go and bring back South Stream.
Dongqing had grown up with Ji Shanglin since she was young, so she had great respect for him!
He eagerly looked forward to Ji Shanglin and Nanxi's good fortune; naturally, it was for the sake of his own Third Master!
He wasn't young anymore, and he even had a son. The Bai Clan once again had people eyeing him like tigers eyeing the mountains and rivers that he was fighting. It wasn't a big deal for him to be single.
It wasn't easy to get hold of a woman who could still attract his attention, so he quickly seized the opportunity to 'marry' himself!
