Chapter 75: Discovered!
“Why can’t it be me?”
Looking at the woman sitting comfortably on the sofa, Ye Mingkong felt a surge of anger.
Wasn’t this a direct attack and a provocation right in front of her?
This woman had been sitting on the sofa the entire time, and the door wasn’t even fully closed. Didn’t that mean she had overheard all the conversations between her and her husband?
Ye Mingkong knew something was off about this woman. She had acted very abnormally when she left home last time, and now she was openly provoking them like this.
Luo Yao looked at the stunned couple at the door, a smile playing on her lips. “You two, why aren’t you coming in? Is this how hosts greet their guests?”
“You!”
“Yes, yes, yes, when guests arrive, we should indeed host them properly.” Ji Yunqi walked out from behind Ye Mingkong, took her wife’s hand, and indicated for her not to act rashly.
Last time, Ji Yunqi had suspected that Luo Yao might have known something. Now, her blatant arrival and her loud words confirmed it.
It was likely that her and her wife’s secret had been completely discovered by Luo Yao. This woman… her insight was as strong as ever!
Even Ji Yunqi had to admit that time had only left traces on her appearance, but her mind had become even more powerful as time went on.
As the couple walked into the house, the atmosphere became even more awkward.
Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong also sat on the sofa and looked at the mature and charming woman in front of them.
“Don’t wander around tomorrow, I’ll pick you up.”
She had expected Luo Yao to question their identities, confirm their suspicions, and then ask a series of questions.
However, to Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong’s surprise, Luo Yao did not do so.
Upon hearing this, disbelief spread across the faces of Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong. This person actually didn’t ask about their identities!
“I know…” Ji Yunqi didn’t know how to respond to this person, so she could only go along with her words. Otherwise, she didn’t know what would happen.
On the other hand, Ye Mingkong, who was standing beside her, frowned the entire time, staring intently at Luo Yao. It seemed that if the other party made any untoward move, she would be subdued immediately.
“Then I’ll be going back now. After all, my precious daughter is still with your son~”
Ji Yunqi’s pupils contracted. This woman indeed knew everything!
“……….”
She said nothing, just sat there silently watching Luo Yao leave step by step.
After the figure completely disappeared, Ye Mingkong frowned and looked at Ji Yunqi. “Husband, that woman knows about our situation, what should we do?”
Ji Yunqi took a deep breath. She had been very conflicted and distressed about this matter at first, but now, thinking about it, it wasn’t as terrible as she had imagined.
Not to mention that Luo Yao was familiar with them and had a good relationship, so she wouldn’t expose them.
Even if she did, people would only think that person was crazy if they heard about coming back from the dead. No one would believe it.
Moreover, exposing this matter would bring no benefit to Luo Yao, so there was no point in doing so. The only troublesome thing might be…
A fixed NPC would be refreshed frequently.
“Don’t worry, you know what kind of person Luo Yao is, don’t you? If she knows, she knows. There are some people we can’t hide from forever.”
Ji Yunqi said this, and she meant it. She couldn’t tell everything to some old acquaintances, but there were some people she needed to inform.
These people were all the people Ji Yunqi trusted the most. Their decades of friendship couldn’t be severed just like that.
For example, Jiang You!
He was Ji Yunqi’s best brother, a friendship forged through life and death, someone worth telling, but only at the right time.
………
“Alright then, it seems there’s no other way. I just don’t know what this woman is plotting, she was acting so mysteriously earlier.”
Ji Yunqi patted her wife’s head and comforted her, “We’ll know tomorrow, no need to rush.”
Meanwhile, on the other side…
On a bustling street, a pair of young men and women were walking hand in hand…
“Chengyun, my mom wants to go on tomorrow’s trip too. Would you… mind?”
Zhang Xinrou had wanted to have a private trip with her beloved during this holiday, but who knew her mother would insist on going along and say she wouldn’t interfere.
Was that possible? If her mom went, how could she not interfere?
“No, I expected Aunt Luo to go, so I brought two people to help us divert attention. So, don’t worry.”
“Ah? Divert attention?” Zhang Xinrou didn’t quite understand Ji Chengyun’s meaning. Who could divert her mother’s attention?
“Don’t worry, those two will definitely be up to the task. Perhaps, they’ll be too preoccupied to even notice us then.”
“Then… alright, I’ll listen to you~”
At this moment, Ji Chengyun seemed to see the future. Listening to his father boast in the past and his own observations, his mother was as unconditionally trusting of him as Xinrou was now.
What his father had said in his childhood was now coming to fruition before Ji Chengyun’s eyes.
His father had once told him that as a man, the happiest thing in life was to meet a girl who understands you, supports you, and is willing to stay by your side.
Now, he seemed to have found her.
Ji Chengyun held Zhang Xinrou’s small and soft hands, looking at her with deep affection. “Xinrou, thank you.”
“Oh~ Thank you for what?”
Ji Chengyun’s lips curved into an arc. “Thank you for being willing to stay by my side, thank you for being willing to trust me.”
“Now you know who loves you the most, right~ Hehe~”
“Yes, I understand completely now.”
Their eyes met, and their faces drew closer…
“Brat!” A scolding voice suddenly came from the side, startling Ji Chengyun and Zhang Xinrou into stopping their actions.
“Mom… why are you here?” Zhang Xinrou’s face flushed red. Why did this old woman show up at this moment? They were about to enjoy themselves, and she ruined their moment!
Glancing sideways, Zhang Xinrou saw Ji Chengyun acting like a meek obedient child in front of her mother, and her good mood instantly vanished.
Why wasn’t this guy more assertive?
Zhang Xinrou sincerely wished she were a man right now, so she could forcefully express her love instead of being so timid and hesitant!
“Aunt Luo, you…”
“Brat, hurry home and get ready. We’re leaving tomorrow.”
“Okay, I understand, Aunt Luo.” Ji Chengyun didn’t find anything wrong with these words. He just took them as Luo Yao’s casual reminder, completely unaware that his loli-like father had been exposed to her gaze.
