Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 780 - 651 Was it your idea? (Third Update)

Chapter 780: Chapter 651 Was it your idea? (Third Update)

Halfway through lunch, Tong Aino received a call and left the restaurant.

Yun Jin leaned against the office door frame, grinning at him, "What did you call me for? I called back, and you didn’t say anything."

"Come in, I need to talk to you for a moment."

Yun Jin followed Tong Aino into the office, and when he came out, the chief secretary was called in.

Tong Aino spent the whole afternoon asking several people into his office, but when they came out, none of them would say anything about what the president had discussed with them.

Qing’er was the last to come out.

Yun Jin glanced at her, "Did he assign you some work?"

"Yeah, he told me to sort out the documents and keep an eye on this office."

"Connie doesn’t need you anymore?"

"Fifth Master said Sister Connie is resting at home, so he asked me to help here for a few days."

Yun Jin beckoned her over. Qing’er hesitated but walked closer. Yun Jin hooked an arm around her neck, pulling her close, and whispered a few words into her ear.

Qing’er lifted her gaze to look at him, "That person seems nice. I’ve heard Sister Connie praise her quite a lot."

"What are you thinking? Did I say she’s not good? I’m just reminding you that someone like her—who even knows how Connie organizes files—is either highly observant or has ulterior motives. Even Fifth Master gets a bit uneasy about her."

"Oh, you’re the expert!" Qing’er rolled her eyes at him.

Yun Jin smirked, "I may not be as good as Fifth Master, but I’m definitely better than you. Little dummy, go get to work."

"If you tell me to come, I come. If you tell me to go, I go. What, you think you’re the boss now?"

"Not convinced?"

Qing’er kicked him lightly before turning around and heading back to Connie’s office.

Tong Aino called out from inside, "Yun Jin, stop fooling around here. If you have the guts, marry her and bring her home. You’ve already had a house prepared for years."

"She doesn’t think I’m good enough." Yun Jin chuckled bitterly and pushed the door open to enter.

Tong Aino glanced at him, "If you want others to think you’re good enough, you have to think so yourself first. Honestly, it’s not your fault. You’re stuck with me. If I were more capable, you’d be another Yuan Hang by now."

Yun Jin froze, "Boss, what are you saying! Following you, I have nothing to complain about. Every day I eat well and live well. Yuan Hang is more accomplished, sure, but he earned it at a high cost."

"Haven’t you also gone above and beyond for me?"

"That’s my job. Anyway, you won’t ever get rid of me in this lifetime." Yun Jin snorted and walked out the door.

Tong Aino stopped him, "Where are you off to?"

"Going to marry Qing’er, so even you won’t look down on me anymore."

"Ha! Ambitious. Go ahead, I won’t hold you up. Oh, by the way, make sure you, the security manager, keep everything safe for me."

"Don’t worry." Yun Jin glanced back at him, "Listen for good news. I’ll let you know the wedding date soon."

Tong Aino chuckled and shook his head.

As for what Yun Jin said, Tong Aino didn’t ask. In any case, when Qing’er delivered documents to him later, her face was red.

In the evening after work, Qing’er went straight upstairs to chat with Connie before coming down.

After she left, Tong Aino pushed the door open and went into the room.

"What was Qing’er chatting with you about?"

"Don’t ask. Just prepare for the celebration." Connie smiled at him, "I heard you assigned Qing’er some work?"

"I just wanted to make sure you’d be at ease. With her around, it’s like having you here."

Connie laughed and asked, "Does Qing’er come with such a function?"

"She’s your second pair of eyes. No matter what I do, she’ll report it to you. Only then can you genuinely focus on your rest."

"That’s your thinking, not mine." Connie laughed, "How about we arrange Yun Jin and Qing’er’s wedding after my three-month recovery period?"

"That’s up to you."

"If it were up to me, their wedding shouldn’t be any less grand than Yuan Hang’s and Kou’er’s."

Tong Aino smiled at her, "Do you even know how much my brother and sister-in-law spent on Yuan Hang’s wedding?"

"Of course I do!"

"And that doesn’t make your heart ache?"

"Why would it? Money should be spent wisely. These two have put so much effort into helping us. You can skip buying a sports car—it’ll cover their wedding."

Tong Aino’s mouth twitched slightly, "Don’t bring up cars again. Since marrying you, apart from the few vehicles gifted by my sister-in-law, I haven’t bought a single car."

Connie pouted, "Feeling wronged?"

"Not at all! If you hadn’t managed things so well, I’d be hitting up Mom for money to fund Yun Jin’s wedding." Tong Aino laughed and kissed Connie on the cheek, "Wife, thank you! How are you feeling today—still uncomfortable?"

"How could I not be? By the way, I heard from your sister-in-law that your brother has been clamoring to get a vasectomy lately. Why don’t you go with him?"

Tong Aino froze for a moment and then ran out of the room.

Connie clutched her stomach, laughing out loud.

Tong Aino knocked on his brother’s door, yelling before he even stepped in, "Tong Airui, are you out of your mind?!"

Tong Airui, who was rolling on the bed with three kids, froze, set Zi Xi aside, and sat up, "What’s gotten into you?"

"I’m fed up!" Yi Luowa chuckled from the side.

"Crazy woman, what nonsense are you spouting in front of the kids?" Tong Aino turned to glare at Yi Luowa standing at the door.

Yi Luowa pouted, "Honey, Tong Number Five is yelling at me."

"Go punish yourself!" Tong Airui got off the bed, "Which of your brain cells malfunctioned?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"You’re the malfunctioning one! I heard you’re planning surgery again. Didn’t this come up before, and the whole family opposed it? Why are you bringing it up again?"

Tong Airui gave him a shove, "Are you brain-dead? What I do is none of your business. Get out. No matter what anyone says this time, I’m doing it. Your sister-in-law can’t stand using that thing anymore, and I won’t let her suffer again."

"Daddy, what thing are you talking about?" Zi Xi, sprawled on the bed, looked adorably at his father.

"Kids shouldn’t ask about grown-up matters!" Zi Yan nudged his brother’s flailing legs, "Come here, let your sister give you a makeover."

"I don’t want makeup; it looks scary!" Zi Xi grumbled.

"I’ve learned something new; this time, it’ll look great." Sang Yu pulled her brother up.

"Mommy, Sister is bullying me!" Zi Xi wailed.

Yi Luowa sighed and approached him, "Sang Yu, stop teasing your brother. Let’s give Daddy a makeover later."

Tong Airui noticed Tong Aino still standing there, glaring coldly, so he pushed him out and shut the door.

Tong Aino dragged his brother outside, "Come out and talk seriously for a bit."

Tong Airui frowned slightly, "I know what you’re going to say. I already have three kids; I don’t want any more."

"The problem is, Number Seven says there’s always surgical risks. What if something goes wrong with the operation?"

"Do I look like someone with bad luck?" Tong Airui shot him a sideways glance, "Are you afraid I’ll go through with it, and then Connie will pressure you to do the same?"

Tong Aino smirked, "Hit the nail on the head. I’m scared of going under the knife."

"Even if you don’t do it, Connie won’t force you. I have no other options. Your sister-in-law keeps getting infections because of that thing... Why am I even telling you this? Just get lost!"

Tong Airui pushed the door open and walked back into the room. As soon as he entered, he saw his wife and three kids standing in formation with makeup tools in hand.

"What are you all trying to do?!" Tong Airui backed up a step in alarm.

Yi Luowa smiled at their children, "Kids, go for it!"

"Daddy, just surrender already!" Sang Yu clung to her father’s leg.

Zi Yan and Zi Xi charged forward, clutching his other leg tightly.

"Honey, save me!" Tong Airui pleaded, looking desperately at Yi Luowa.

Yi Luowa giggled as she approached with lipstick and drew a streak across his face, "You’re already marked, might as well give in."

"I... I’m a Duke, how can I let you all mess with me like this—Hey, little buggers, let go of me... Sang Yu, how are you even climbing up now?"

"Hahaha... Use purple eyeshadow."

"Fake lashes."

"Blush."

"Lipstick."

"Honey, save me—"

The room was in chaos, with the Duke becoming a canvas for his children’s artistic endeavors, ending up with a comically painted face.

Yi Luowa crossed her arms, watching from the sidelines and giving commands. He pleaded for help, but she acted as if she couldn’t hear.

"Yi Luowa, just you wait!" Tong Airui scowled at her.

Yi Luowa pouted, "I didn’t paint you."

"But it was your idea, wasn’t it?"

Yi Luowa glanced at him dismissively, "Did I suggest anything? Who heard me say it? Zi Yan, did you hear it?"

"Nope!" Zi Yan firmly held her father’s face in place.

Sang Yu drew eyebrows on her father’s face, "Stop squirming; you’ll hurt your eyes!"

"If it hurts, don’t cry!" Zi Xi laughed.

Yi Luowa smilingly pulled out her phone, "Hold on, I’ll snap a few pictures and post them online later."

"Buzz buzz..."

Yi Luowa glanced at the incoming call, quickly picking it up, "Mom..."

Queen Haotian urgently said, "Luowa, something’s happened! I don’t even know how to break the news to your Aunt Shui Hui."

Yi Luowa froze, "Mom, don’t panic. Just explain slowly."
