Chapter 279: Come down once
After discussing this matter, the two chatted about many other things.
Of course, as for what exactly was discussed, no one knows except the two parties involved.
In the end, after Lin Yi was 'chased out' of the study by the old man, he awkwardly greeted everyone present and left rather embarrassed.
The old man, on the other hand, came out of the study smiling happily after Lin Yi left.
Upon seeing Lin Yi's embarrassed figure, he couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.
However, when his gaze fell on his granddaughter Ouyang Ying in the crowd, a trace of regret flashed through his eyes.
He sighed repeatedly in his heart:
'Oh, what a wonderful granddaughter I have, right? Why doesn't this brat Lin Yi fancy her?
Oh, if only this brat could become my grandson-in-law, this old man would have no other wishes…
Alas, what a pity…'
In the earlier conversation, the old man had once again tested Lin Yi.
But Lin Yi's responses were very definitive.
The old man could only sigh to himself about it.
When the old man came out, everyone in the Ouyang Family quickly gathered around to check the old man's health.
However, seeing that the old man was even more vigorous than before, they all let out long sighs of relief.
At this moment, Dr. Lu came over with a pair of reports.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly surrounded Dr. Lu.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Dr. Lu handed over the materials with an incredulous look on his face, and spoke words that left everyone stunned:
"The old man's previously weakened physical functions seem to have improved."
...
While the Ouyang Family was in shock, Lin Yi had already driven away and was heading back to school.
This day was quite exhausting, especially with that Ouyang Lei; truly exasperating.
I kindly brought technology to him, and this guy actually tricked me into coming here. It seems I need to find a way to teach this guy a lesson in the future.
Rubbing his somewhat hungry stomach, Lin Yi couldn't help but recall the scene where the old man had tried to invite him to dinner.
He couldn't help shivering all over.
Good thing I ran fast; if I had stayed, I might've ended up being treated as the new son-in-law by the Ouyang Family.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi's mind conjured up the image of Xiao Zihan.
Especially recalling how she was unknowingly pregnant for one and a half months, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Whether it was missing Xiao Zihan or the little one inside her, Lin Yi decided against having dinner and drove straight back to school.
Excitedly rushing to the bedroom, he found that Xiao Zihan was nowhere to be found.
"This girl just won't let me relax!"
There was no need to guess, she must've gone to work.
Lin Yi was also helpless about this; he couldn't just watch her all the time without going anywhere himself.
With a helpless sigh, Lin Yi left the bedroom.
Corporate Finance Department.
Sure enough, there he saw Xiao Zihan, working away while eating a boxed lunch in the finance department.
Seeing Lin Yi arriving, the employees in the finance department quickly stood up to greet him.
Upon hearing the noise, Xiao Zihan immediately acted like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to meet Lin Yi's eyes.
Lin Yi could only shake his head helplessly at this, then sat down in front of Xiao Zihan and reached out to pick the grain of rice from her lips and put it in his mouth.
Then he lovingly pinched Xiao Zihan's pretty face:
"You're just disobedient. I told you to rest, but you insisted on working. Sigh, forget it, I can't argue with you. If you want to work, work, but I'll say this upfront: you can work, but you must rest on time!"
Seeing Lin Yi's familiar gentle gestures, a look of happiness spread across Xiao Zihan's face.
Once, this boy before her had barged into her life so dominantly.
He had turned her originally black-and-white world into a colorful one.
Looking at the domineering yet gentle Lin Yi, Xiao Zihan smiled, smiling sweetly, even a bit adorably.
Such a girl, what reason does Lin Yi have not to cherish her for a lifetime?
However, at this very moment, Lin Yi's phone suddenly rang.
Taking it out, he found it was a call from his mother, Empress Dowager Ye.
Signaling to Xiao Zihan, he then answered the call.
But the other party's first sentence left Lin Yi stunned.
"Son, I'm at the entrance of your company. Have the security informed, okay?"
After saying this, Empress Dowager Ye's phone was followed by a voice from the security officer:
"Hello, I am the main gate security. According to company regulations, visitors need you to come down for registration. Please come down once."
The security officer's voice, although very polite, carried an air of meticulousness.
Just like earlier, the security officer, after speaking, hung up the phone before Lin Yi could respond.
Until the call was disconnected, Lin Yi still hadn't come back to his senses...
