Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 342 - 337: Delve Deeper (4)
Qi Yi’s smile had always been something that captivated Yan Yan’s heart and mind.
At this moment, his rare smile, like a child who had finally received a long-awaited toy, came from the deepest part of his heart and made Yan Yan immerse herself in it, unable to extricate herself.
How wonderful would it be if Qi Yi could laugh so carefree every day?
"My mom really seems afraid that my dad will take me away," Qi Yi said when he saw that Yan Yan was still stunned and hadn’t spoken, so he continued the conversation in a joking tone.
Yan Yan’s hand was already held by Qi Yi. Without putting down her bag, she led Qi Yi directly into the suite inside her office.
"What’s the matter? Have you missed me so much after just one day? Remember, this is your studio. If you start this trend, every now and then when I think of your office, I might..." Qi Yi said this with clear implications.
Qi Yi often visited Yan Yan’s studio and had even made her "Almond Tofu" in the small kitchen behind the suite, a famous but time-consuming Wenzhou snack. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
But Qi Yi never behaved inappropriately in Yan Yan’s studio; after all, it is her workplace. If any noise were made, the person who would feel uncomfortable would be himself.
Qi Yi certainly didn’t have the notion of casually marking his presence on his girlfriend here and there, then showing off to others outside.
The beauty of a girlfriend is meant for him alone; Qi Yi truly didn’t think that this was something others needed to know.
However, if Yan Yan had such tastes, that would be a different matter.
Qi Yi was thinking too much now; he was in a great mood, plus he didn’t know what his girlfriend had brought him into the room for, and the smile on his face was almost too rich to fade.
As Yan Yan entered the room and stopped, turning around, what she saw was Qi Yi’s magnified handsome face.
Features that shouldn’t appear so flawlessly on a man were "embedded" on perfect, blemish-free skin, along with a physique that looked slim in clothes but was muscular underneath.
Qi Yi’s handsomeness was the kind that perfectly unified delicacy and masculinity.
Fortunately, Yan Yan’s skin was also quite good, and even fairer than Qi Yi’s.
Otherwise, touching her own face wouldn’t have felt as good as touching her boyfriend’s.
That kind of feeling would make one feel slightly uncomfortable.
When Yan Yan was "idly bored," she had even thought that if she and Qi Yi ever had a child, with such good skin genes from both of them, how finely sculpted the child’s skin would be.
Looking at Qi Yi’s face, which was even more energetic than usual, Yan Yan’s mind was flooded with many thoughts, leaving her in disarray and unable to utter a single word.
In fact, after seeing Qi Yi today, Yan Yan hadn’t spoken at all.
She didn’t even know how to start.
Since Qi Yi and Yan Yan had truly come together, Qi Yi often spoke to Yan Yan with implied meanings.
At first, whenever Yan Yan picked up on something, she would get very embarrassed and then pretend to keep a serious face and say to Qi Yi, "So, it’s this side of you, Qi Yi."
Now, Yan Yan still felt embarrassed, but she wouldn’t pretend to be serious. If outside, she simply chose to ignore it, while at home, she usually responded, even playfully "retaliating."
The time she and Qi Yi could spend together before they truly united was simply too little, and being pretentiously reserved was not one of the behavioral codes Yan Yan adhered to.
Even so, Yan Yan’s behavior today was a bit strange; Qi Yi had only spoken half of his implicit words, but Yan Yan had sealed his words with a kiss.
A quiet, gentle kiss that didn’t carry any desire.
This was unlike Yan Yan’s usual reactions to Qi Yi’s implied language.
Yan Yan was very proactive, but this time her proactiveness was more like a silent comfort instead of a kiss.
Yan Yan neither chose to ignore nor did she "retaliate."
Yan Yan didn’t say anything, but Qi Yi quickly sensed that something might be wrong from her abnormal behavior.
Qi Yi hadn’t even had time to stop and ask what was wrong when his phone rang.
From the way Qi Yi addressed the caller, Yan Yan knew it was his father.
Yan Yan didn’t stay to listen to the content and went from the suite back to her own office.
The door of the suite wasn’t closed, and Yan Yan could still somewhat hear Qi Yi speaking on the phone.
However, in such a situation, what she heard didn’t leave any truly meaningful information in her mind.
But apart from the "Dad" that Qi Yi had called at the beginning of the phone call, the other two characters that appeared during the conversation were also something Yan Yan couldn’t help but notice: Qi Yi mentioned her cousin Yan Ling on the phone.
When Qi Yi talked about Yan Ling with his father, Yan Yan always felt something was off.
This phone call would probably last a while, so Yan Yan decided to check if there were any documents on her desk that needed attention.
But Yan Yan hadn’t even sat down when Qi Yi followed her out from the suite.
Before Yan Yan could open her mouth to inquire about the odd conversation regarding Yan Ling, Qi Yi, who had finished the call, took the initiative:
"Why are you acting strange today? Did I come too early, or do you have any designs that need rushing?"
"No, I was just putting away my bag. I thought your dad’s call would take a while. Why did it end so soon?"said Yan Yan, finally speaking her first sentence to Qi Yi after meeting him today.
"My dad just asked a few questions, nothing urgent he needed me for. I saw you suddenly came out, so I told my dad I’d call him back later," Qi Yi didn’t know what was wrong with Yan Yan, but was sure something had happened.
"Oh, I see," Yan Yan’s words were pre-empted by Qi Yi, now she didn’t know what else to say.
"Yesterday your shoes were first launched on the market, I saw the news. They said it sold well, and the data looked great. Was there any problem in the end?" Qi Yi hadn’t attended the opening yesterday.
He had no desire to become a Wall Street star; the day before yesterday, he went with Yan Yan to Rockefeller Center because he didn’t expect so many people to already be waiting for the opening.
If he continued to accompany Yan Yan to Rockefeller Center yesterday, it would be difficult not to be chased by various Wall Street capitalists wanting to collaborate with Y·Y.
