“What? You’re resigning?!”
Upon hearing the news, both Zhang Hui and Zhang Zixin had a hard time accepting it.
But just like Zhu Junchi, Zhang Hui quickly figured it out.
They both knew very well who Lin Yi was.
A car that he would buy without a second thought was an Alfa worth millions; the guy simply wasn’t short on cash. He came to the police station just to experience life and prove his abilities.
Now that he had proven himself, there was naturally no need for him to stay.
“Alright, I’ll get someone to cover for me,” said Zhang Hui:
“You guys go back and change first, then give Brother Li and Gu Yiran a call. I’ll arrange the evening, no one should try to compete with me.”
“That’s really embarrassing,” Lin Yi said with a smile. “I’ll be the one to arrange it.”
“Nothing embarrassing about it,” Zhang Hui said:
“No one argue, it’s decided, now go and change.”
“Got it.”
The group of people returned to the building to change, one after another, then went out to dine, determined to drink to their hearts’ content.
Zhang Hui chose a Sichuan restaurant, ready to get thoroughly drunk.
Once they arrived at the restaurant, Lin Yi found a quiet spot and called Ji Qingyan.
“I’ve finished handling my resignation. I’m out having dinner with colleagues. I’ll have someone pick you up tonight.”
“No need, you do what you have to do, don’t worry about me.”
“Alright then, just be careful yourself.”
“Hmm.”
After hanging up, Lin Yi returned to the private room.
At this moment, Ji Qingyan was not at the company but out shopping.
Ji Qingyan did not originally plan to go shopping, but since Lin Yi had given her a list, it had been on her mind, so she just went out in the afternoon, intending to buy everything on the list.
Right now, Ji Qingyan had no interest in work, her whole heart poured into the baby.
Whenever she had the time, she would look at maternity and baby products, almost like she was addicted, something she had never done before when shopping for clothes.
Ji Qingyan took the elevator to the fifth floor of Henglong Plaza.
All the top maternity and baby stores from around the world were gathered here.
It was also a place Ji Qingyan often visited.
Familiar with the route, Ji Qingyan went straight to a maternity and baby store named Cilk.
She was ready to purchase a constant temperature water kettle according to the list Lin Yi gave her.
“Madam, please follow me, the constant temperature water kettles are over here.”
Just as Ji Qingyan was picking out items, she heard the salesperson talking.
It felt quite coincidental; she was just about to buy this item, and the salesperson was leading others over.
But when the salesperson and the customer approached, Ji Qingyan was stunned.
She saw Liang Ruoxu!
And Liang Ruoxu, who was shopping, also looked up in that instant and saw Ji Qingyan.
Their eyes met, and the calm in their minds surged like a flood, unable to settle for a long time.
Liang Ruoxu frowned, while Ji Qingyan’s face turned pale.
An unusual emotion took root in both of their hearts.
Neither of them expected to encounter each other in such a situation.
“Madam, the constant temperature kettles are up ahead.”
The salesperson wanted to lead Liang Ruoxu over and close the sale.
“I know, you go ahead with your tasks,” Liang Ruoxu said, noticing that her tone was not quite right, and the female salesperson tactfully left.
Between two rows of shelves, only Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu were left.
It was as if this small corner of the world belonged only to them.
“President Ji,” Liang Ruoxu was the first to speak.
Ji Qingyan’s gaze fell on Liang Ruoxu’s slightly bulging belly, and her lips turned a sickly white.
“You, you…”
Ji Qingyan’s throat felt as if it were stuffed with cotton, barely able to utter a word.
“How many months…”
“Five months,” Liang Ruoxu replied softly.
