Chapter 37
Ji Yunqi, following the position in her memory, brought the lunchbox to the downstairs of Ji Chengyun’s company alone.
Ji Yunqi had been to her son’s company before, but not many times. If her son hadn’t brought her there a couple of days ago, Ji Yunqi probably wouldn’t have found it.
She originally wanted to tell the receptionist that she was looking for someone, but Ji Yunqi suddenly remembered that she was now an employee of the company.
Since she was an employee, why should she let the receptionist announce her arrival? Why not just go in directly?
“Am I really… have my brain been damaged by going to school for a few days?”
Without even being asked by the receptionist, Ji Yunqi showed her employee ID. Seeing that she was Ji Chengyun’s assistant, no one dared to stop her.
Ji Yunqi entered the company smoothly.
“This kid, her identity here is quite useful, isn’t it.”
………..
Without any obstruction throughout the process, Ji Yunqi successfully arrived at Ji Chengyun’s office.
At this moment, seeing that there was no one else in the office, Ji Yunqi finally relaxed her mind.
“Son, Dad’s here~” Ji Yunqi spoke in a text message she saw in a popular meme online.
As soon as she said this, Ji Chengyun felt his eyelids twitching. What had his father learned online? He didn’t learn anything good, only bad things.
It seemed that he needed to help his father quit his internet addiction~
“Dad, stop learning those things online, they’re almost corrupting you.”
“None of your business! Overconfident man, so disgusting!”
“You…” Even Ji Chengyun felt like lecturing his father. What kind of words were these, “overconfident man,” “so disgusting”?
“Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk about these things. Come, come, you must be hungry, eat something quickly.”
Ji Yunqi no longer dwelled on the previous minor incident. She placed the lunchbox she brought on Ji Chengyun’s desk, and even opened the drink she bought for Ji Chengyun.
Ji Chengyun saw all of Ji Yunqi’s actions. His father’s kindness towards him was as usual~
Ji Chengyun did not immediately ask his father who that brat was.
While Ji Chengyun was eating, Ji Yunqi planned to ask about Ye Mingkong’s situation.
[Yun: Have you finished packing everything over there?]
[Kong: Everything is packed, this place is like my home.]
“Heh, this guy…” Ji Yunqi couldn’t help but smile. What kind of home, can this be the same?
[Yun: Alright, you go back first after you’re done packing, I won’t be able to go back for a while.]
[Kong: Okay, then I’ll leave first.]
…………
Ji Chengyun frowned and glanced at Ji Yunqi from the corner of his eye, feeling very upset. His father was looking at his phone, his fingers still moving, clearly replying to messages.
Who was he replying to?
Who was he replying to that he was smiling so happily?
Ji Chengyun’s heart~
Suddenly became depressed. His father was smiling and happy while replying to messages. Could it be that he was really deceived by some sweet-talking brat!
Ji Chengyun was very panicked, but he couldn’t be sure. He could only try to test his father later. His father was now just an 18-year-old girl, and he couldn’t start dating early!
“Dad, can I ask you something?”
Ji Yunqi put down her phone, looked up, and asked Ji Chengyun in confusion, “What’s wrong, son?”
Ji Chengyun took a deep breath, “Dad, who is that boy you brought home today?”
Ji Yunqi looked as if she understood. She knew it. Why was her son distracted while eating just now? It was because of this matter.
Perhaps because she had become younger, Ji Yunqi felt playful, or for some other reason, she suddenly wanted to tease her son.
“Him~ He’s someone very important to your dad~” Ji Yunqi said with a smile.
As soon as Ji Chengyun heard this, his world collapsed!
He quickly grabbed Ji Yunqi’s shoulders and said earnestly, “Dad, be more careful. None of those wild men outside are good. Don’t get too close to them.”
Ji Yunqi patted her son’s shoulder, “Can your dad be deceived? Don’t worry~”
“Dad… you can make friends, just don’t give yourself away,” Ji Chengyun knew he couldn’t control his father, so he could only set a minimum bottom line.
“Pfft, hahahaha.” Ji Yunqi, seeing her son looking so disappointed that he couldn’t be helped, finally couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, alright, I was teasing you. He’s just a classmate of mine. He helped me before, and we have a good relationship. It’s not as complicated as you think.”
“Really?” Ji Chengyun’s eyes, which had turned dim, instantly brightened.
“Of course, you think your dad would be interested in men?”
“Uh… I was overthinking. It’s good that Dad doesn’t have that idea.” Ji Chengyun was relieved to see Ji Yunqi guarantee it herself.
……….
Ji Yunqi spent the afternoon working with her son in the office. They didn’t say anything else, mainly because other employees kept coming in during the afternoon.
To avoid their relationship being discovered, they simply stopped chatting about personal matters and only discussed work.
However, their relationship was not discovered, but was misunderstood…..
“Dad, look at this…” Ji Chengyun showed Ji Yunqi the chat records of the small group.
Ji Yunqi’s brows twitched. She didn’t want to look at it a second time.
These guys were all saying that she and her son had a secret relationship. Although they didn’t say it explicitly, she knew that these guys probably thought she was Ji Chengyun’s girlfriend!
Although it was indeed similar, but… couldn’t they say that!
“It’s okay, son. It’s serving as a cover for us, isn’t it?” Ji Yunqi comforted him.
Ji Chengyun nodded. At this point, this was indeed the only way. He couldn’t possibly tell these guys that this 18-year-old little loli was his dad?
Even saying she was his mom would have almost zero credibility…..
………..
“Let’s go, we should go home.” Ji Yunqi tugged at Ji Chengyun’s clothes, signaling him that it was time to get off work~
Ji Chengyun shook his head helplessly. His father was just like this. He would never work hard when he could slack off, and he would never work overtime when he could get off work.
“Let’s go, let’s go.” Ji Chengyun also knew that his normal work hours were 6 PM, and he usually worked until 9 PM just because he wanted to work overtime.
After all, it was too lonely to be alone at home. At least there were a bunch of “beasts of burden” to keep him company at the company, right?
But now it was different. His father was back, and he was no longer lonely.
“Dad, let’s eat out today, no need to cook at home.” Ji Chengyun suggested.
Ji Yunqi thought about it. Her hands were a little tired from typing today, so she decided not to cook.
“Okay, let’s eat out!”
“Then let’s go to the barbecue restaurant we used to go to often, how about it?”
“Okay, I miss it too. Let’s go, let’s go~”
