CHAPTER 1395: CHAPTER 1318: WAITING FOR HER AT HOME

He isn’t looking for a bed partner, but a wife.

He doesn’t want to give her a chance to escape again, and if that thin piece of paper is security, he doesn’t mind dragging it back.

"You bastard." Luo Qi threw the bag in her hand at Ah Chuan.

He wants to tie her down for the rest of her life.

Ah Chuan let her throw it, and without blinking an eye, he watched her: "If it makes you feel better, then hit me, but don’t think about running away. No matter where you go, I will find you."

At this moment, Ah Chuan is terrifying, like a hunter crouching in the dark with a gun, his eyes gleaming with determination, watching his prey.

And Luo Qi, unfortunately, became his prey.

The mobile phone happened to ring at this moment. It was Lin Yan calling.

Luo Qi hastily opened her bag, took out her phone, took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before answering: "Hello?"

"Xiao Qi, where are you?" Lin Yan’s voice was filled with concern and urgency.

"I, I’m working overtime. There was a sudden issue with a client’s clothing, and I need to check on it," Luo Qi said, her eyes downcast, sitting on the floor.

"Then I’ll come and pick you up. Send me the address."

"No need, I just caught a ride, I’ll be there soon," Luo Qi’s voice broke slightly.

"Then I’ll wait at home for you." Lin Yan didn’t insist further: "Keep your phone available, call if there’s any problem, and be careful."

He advised her as usual, with no hint of sadness in his tone, she wouldn’t have known he was going through such a big ordeal if she hadn’t heard it herself.

This fool...

"Hmm." Luo Qi responded monotonously.

After hanging up the phone, she picked up her clothes from the sofa, put her mobile back in her bag, and left.

She walked out without even fixing her hair or clothes, and Ah Chuan followed her out: "Let me take you."

"No need." Luo Qi’s eyes were full of loathing: "I hope from now on we have nothing to do with each other, separate here and never meet again."

Luo Qi stood in the elevator, and just as the doors were closing, she said this to Ah Chuan.

Back home, before leaving the elevator, Luo Qi tidied up her appearance, patted her face to make sure nothing was evident, and then stepped out.

Lin Yan was standing at her door, his eyes brightened upon seeing her, and he walked over quickly: "Why are you so late today? Nothing happened, right?"

His face bore a consistent gentle smile, and if not for the slight weariness, nothing seemed amiss.

Luo Qi could no longer hold it in, she hugged Lin Yan tightly, burying her head into his chest, trying to absorb his scent.

"What’s wrong?" Lin Yan didn’t think much of it, assuming she was just upset about something that happened outside.

Luo Qi wanted to confront him, but seeing his feigned cheerfulness, she just couldn’t bring herself to say the words lingering on the tip of her tongue.

"Seeing your tired face, I just felt a bit heartbroken for you."

"Things have been a bit busy recently, so yes, I’m tired. You’re not upset that I’ve been somewhat neglectful, are you?" Lin Yan’s lips curved slightly, his eyes as clear as ever.

"Did you encounter any difficulties?" Luo Qi asked casually.

"Let’s talk inside," Lin Yan dodged the topic.

Luo Qi hadn’t expected him to discuss it and just nodded her head.

Once inside, Lin Yan poured Luo Qi a glass of water: "Your hands are so cold, have some water to warm up."

"Have you had dinner? Do you want me to make some late-night snacks?" Lin Yan opened the fridge door.
