2239: Sleeping Under the Same Big Blanket After a Long Time
Thud!
A middle-aged man fell to the ground, writhing in pain, grimacing and unable to stand up for quite a while.
“Sun Changwei!”
A middle-aged woman ran over and helped her husband up.
“Sun, you dare hit me? Do you believe I can kill you?”
The middle-aged man, once helped up, pointed at Lin Yi’s nose and cursed loudly.
...
“If you dare curse at me, I’ll beat you to death. Don’t believe me? Just try.”
The middle-aged man shivered in fear, the chill emanating from Lin Yi silenced him completely.
“If you want treatment, pay up quickly; otherwise, take your patient and get out.”
The couple looked tense and reluctantly paid 10,000 dollars, after which Li Chuhan arranged surgery for the patient.
Although the surgery was urgent, it wasn’t particularly difficult, and Li Chuhan didn’t do it himself, but had other doctors in the department handle it.
After everything was arranged, the two left the hospital and found a place to have breakfast before Lin Yi drove her back.
“Wait before you go.”
After Lin Yi dropped Li Chuhan at her place, she called out to him as he was about to leave.
“What’s up?”
“I have something for you.”
Li Chuhan went back to her bedroom and then brought out a small box.
“You weren’t in Zhong Hai during Christmas, so this is making up for it.”
Hearing this, Lin Yi remembered that Christmas had indeed passed.
And he hadn’t prepared anything, just muddled through it.
But it turned out alright, it was as if he’d bluffed through successfully.
Lin Yi opened the box, which contained a deep blue tie. It was hard to tell the brand, but the material and craftsmanship were good, definitely not cheap.
This gift was quite in line with Li Chuhan’s character.
She wasn’t one for odd or skewed stuff; if she had really given him a box of hand-folded stars or origami cranes, that would have been strange.
But given the current situation, whatever she gave didn’t much matter.
Just as long as it wasn’t like the first Christmas, gifting him the same belt would suffice.
“I’ve been too busy recently, forgot to prepare a gift for you, sorry.”
“It’s fine,” said Li Chuhan. “I don’t care much about these things, it’s just for the sake of the occasion. Everyone else was buying, so I just picked something up.”
Lin Yi smiled. Li Chuhan’s tenderness and romance never showed in these ways.
“I’ll be heading off then; call me if you need anything.”
Lin Yi took a taxi back to Jiuzhou Pavilion, changed his clothes, took a shower, and then called Ji Qingyan.
“Are you at the office?”
“No, shopping outside.”
“Shopping?”
“It’s almost New Year’s Day, I’m buying some things for Mother Wang; I can’t go back empty-handed.”
Lin Yi smiled knowingly; she always wanted to be the earliest in such matters.
“Great timing, I’m free and can come over.”
“Hurry up. I’ve bought quite a bit; it’s really heavy.”
“Alright.”
After getting the address, Lin Yi took a taxi out.
Since Ji Qingyan had a car, there was no need for him to drive.
About forty minutes later, at the Henglong Plaza Starbucks, Lin Yi met up with Ji Qingyan, who had bought a dozen or so items. Besides these, there was another lot in the car.
“Just celebrating New Year’s Day, no need to buy so much stuff.”
“I haven’t been back for a long time, I definitely need to buy more.” Ji Qingyan said,
“Also, I work in a clothing factory, and I’ve ordered a batch of clothes for the kids to send them together later.”
“True to the form of President Ji, always so thoughtful.”
Lin Yi looked into Ji Qingyan’s pocket, “But what is this thing you bought called ‘Pregnant Mama’? What is that? We just finished dealing with things yesterday, it can’t be showing yet, right?”
Ji Qingyan blushed with embarrassment.
