Chapter 606: Extra Chapter 019 Yin Qin’s Mischief (Second update)
“Don’t you think what you’re doing is very undignified?” Xin Zaozao asked, her tone indifferent but laced with sarcasm.
Being kept by someone?
Doing household chores?
Doesn’t he feel humiliated?
Mu Cidian said, “After experiencing a lot, dignity isn’t that important anymore.”
“Makes sense,” Xin Zaozao nodded.
Again, there was a period of silence between them.
Xin Zaozao felt that Mu Cidian had indeed changed a lot over the years, but there was one thing that hadn’t.
He didn’t talk much.
At any time, he didn’t like to talk much.
Sometimes she wasn’t sure why she was keeping Mu Cidian.
His physique was nothing to write home about.
His skills in bed were just so-so.
And most importantly, he seemed not to know how to please her.
She put down the food in her hand, “I’m off to work.”
“Okay.”
The word she heard most from Mu Cidian was “okay”.
She thought Mu Cidian had one redeeming quality: he was obedient.
If he said “okay” to something, he generally didn’t make the same mistake again.
She changed into another set of clothes and left the house.
Mu Cidian just sat there, looking at the food remaining from her breakfast.
He was actually thinking:
Was Xin Zaozao getting tired of him?
Initially, it was impulsive. Now, after the impulse had faded, realizing that he had no outstanding qualities, she would probably find him boring.
While he was thinking,
his cell phone chimed with a text message notification.
He glanced at it. It was a notification of a $200,000 deposit being made.
The maintenance money for this month.
At least she would keep him for another month.
After finishing his breakfast, he cleaned up the dishes and sat down in front of his computer to start his work day.
He was developing a mobile game.
He had recruited some several part-time university students online to partake in game development. The project now had some shape to it. Looking at the interface and certain game settings, he picked up the phone and dialed Yin Qin.
The call went through, “Hello.”
“Yin Qin, it’s me, Mu Cidian.” Mu Cidian initiated.
Yin Qin seemed to be stunned.
He rubbed his ears, “Am I hearing things wrong? You’ve been released from prison? When were you released, why didn’t you tell me! You’re really not playing fair, Mu Cidian!”
There were no social engagements tonight. She had some drinks the night before and still felt a bit off today. So, she planned to get off work on time, go home and have dinner, and take a good rest for the night.
But she had just received a call from Yin Qin, inviting her over for dinner at his home. He said as Xiaolang was not out of the country for a competition, they should take this opportunity gather. He also invited Zhizhi and others over.
Xin Zaozao had been working closely with Yin Qin over the years and had fostered a deep relationship with Yin Qin’s family through Song Zhizhi. So, generally, she wouldn’t refuse such an invitation. Therefore, she accepted right away.
It was 5:30 pm.
Xin Zaozao got off work.
A driver was waiting to drop her off at the Yin Family’s villa.
Apparently, Yin Qin had become a devoted father, working from nine-to-five strictly, and only working overtime when absolutely necessary. The moment he got off from work, he would rush home to see his wife and child. Therefore, by the time Zaozao arrived at the villa, Yin Qin had already changed into his home clothes and was playing with his little cub in the living room.
“I thought you’d be working overtime!” Yin Qin said to Xin Zaozao as he played with his son.
“I have my non-overtime days.”
“How rare.” Yin Qin picked up his three-year-old cub, “little cub, say hello.”
“Hello, auntie ZaoZao.” The little cub’s childish voice sounded cute as he grinned endearingly.
“Good boy.” Xin Zaozao patted the little cub’s head.
The little cub had grown well, showing no signs of being a premature baby.
“By the way, where is Xiaolang? And what about Uncle Yin and Aunt Qin?”
“My parents have gone on a vacation abroad, leaving me and my younger brother on our own. My brother is still asleep, he should be up soon. As for Xiaolang...” Yin Qin paused abruptly.
“Did Xiaolang go abroad again?”
“No, a friend came to meet her regarding some matters. They are having a discussion in the room and she didn’t want me disturbing them. She asked me to take the kid away from there.” Saying this, Yin Qin looked displeased.
Xin Zaozao couldn’t help but laugh.
Yin Qin, over the years, really acted like a henpecked husband in front of Luo Xiaolang.
“You laugh, go on! Let’s see if you keep laughing later on.” Yin Qin sounded a bit sinister.
Xin Zaozao didn’t ponder on this too much and asked, “What about Zhizhi and Ji Baijian? They haven’t arrived yet.”
“Ji Baijian is also very busy, taking care of commercial management issues. You know that official family’s what’s-his-name, right, Jun Mingyu likes Ji Baijian.”
“...Aren’t those just rumors?”
“Regardless of whether they are or not, Jun Mingyu keeps Ji Baijian busy all day, often asking him to discuss matters of national importance. The two seem quite close.”
“Are you jealous?”
“Jealous my foot! I’m jealous for Song Zhizhi.” Yin Qin rolled his eyes.
“I heard it’s not Jun Mingyu who likes Ji Baijian, but Jun Mingyu’s wife, Qin Jingxiang.”
“Regardless, both of them bear some hidden agenda towards Ji Baijian.”
“...” Should the term ‘hidden agenda’ be used this way?
“I also heard, Qin Jingxiang has a daughter, and she’s been teaching her daughter to seduce Ji Lizhi since a young age.” Yin Qin continued to gossip.
The circle was indeed very chaotic.
“Are Zhizhi and the others coming tonight?” Xin Zaozao asked.
“I don’t know, but... Ji Baili should be coming.” Yin Qin raised his eyebrows.
At that moment, Ji Baili appeared in the hall.
Simultaneously,
On the staircase of the second floor, footsteps were heard.
Yin Qin couldn’t help but feel... such a scene was really exciting!
