CHAPTER 449: CHAPTER 449: LOLLIPOP?

"But..." the servant hesitated.

This time, Shen Cheng didn’t speak anymore.

Feeling somewhat weary, she leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes.

Only then did the servant breathe a sigh of relief, turning to tiptoe out of the room.

Soon after, another maid brought a thin blanket and carefully draped it over Shen Cheng.

She slept very soundly, even forgetting the matter of picking up Ye Zi from the airport.

At nine in the evening, the plane from Jiang City to Du City landed.

After disembarking, Qin Jin and Ye Zi turned on their phones and called Shen Cheng, but nobody answered, despite sequential calls.

Seeing Ye Zi’s slight disappointment, Qin Jin then called Shi Yu’s number.

But the result was the same, either the line was busy or they were met with a busy tone, in any case, they couldn’t get through.

Pocketing his phone, Qin Jin wrapped his arm around Ye Zi, "What, not happy?"

Ye Zi shook her head, "No, not really..."

Her voice, tinged with a hint of sadness, betrayed her fleeting mood.

Noticing her demeanor, Qin Jin chuckled mischievously, his arrogance emerging, "Why didn’t I see you missing me this much when we were apart?"

Ye Zi looked up at him, her voice soft, "It’s not the same."

Qin Jin laughed, "How is it different?"

"A beauty is a beauty, you are you."

"But I am also undoubtedly a handsome man," Qin Jin said, nuzzling her forehead, "Do you like that?"

Ye Zi felt puzzled, "Like what?"

"Me."

"Well, about that..."

"Hmm?"

"That is..."

"Stop hesitating, is it really so hard to say you like me?"

"It’s not hard, but..."

"Say it or not!" His tone, which had been gentle just a moment ago, suddenly became unyielding and domineering.

"I like you."

Qin Jin playfully stroked her nose and his lips curled into a wild, roguish smile, "My Little Yezi is so good."

With that, he took Ye Zi’s hand and walked out of the airport.

Once outside, he made a call to his driver to come pick them up from the airport.

Qin Jin owned a residence in Du City as well, not too big, but exquisite.

The ancient-style courtyard was small, with only a few servants, but they kept the house impeccably clean.

After returning to the Qin Mansion, Qin Jin had the luggage taken care of, took a shower upstairs, then drove Ye Zi back to the Ye Family.

On the way to the Ye Family, Ye Zi expressed a desire to visit the Shi Family to see Shen Cheng.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jin immediately slowed down and turned the car around.

Just as he was picking up speed again, Ye Zi suddenly had a change of heart, "It’s almost ten o’clock, the beauty must be sleeping early with the pregnancy, we shouldn’t disturb her."

Frowning, Qin Jin turned to glance at her.

"Women really know how to make trouble."

Despite his words, he still slowed down and turned the car back towards the Ye Family.

The Ye Family residence was located in the center of Du City.

In less than twenty minutes, the car stopped outside the ornate iron gate.

It was already ten, and all the lights at the Ye Family were out.

Getting out of the car, Ye Zi opened her purse, intending to take out the keys to open the door.

Bending her head, she rummaged through her bag for quite a while, but couldn’t find them.

So she crouched down, dumping all the contents of her bag on the ground.

Qin Jin, leaning against the car and having just lit a cigarette, was about to exhale a smoke ring when he caught sight of the mess on the ground!

A handsome face instantly turned utterly dark.

He tossed the cigarette to the ground, grinding it out fiercely with the sole of his shoe.

Afterward, he strode over to Ye Zi, yanked her up,

Staring at her small face, his eyes narrowed, "A lollipop?"
