Chapter 281 Strange Things
The two chatted all night, and Lin Ling became more and more awake as they talked. Just before dawn, she went to take a shower and remove her makeup before letting Chen Jia go to sleep for a while.
After taking a shower, the two of them went out together to a restaurant for a buffet breakfast.
As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into Qin Yiche, who also came out of his own room. Their eyes met, and Qin Yiche's expression was not very pleasant.
Lin Ling sometimes felt that this person really lacked love since childhood, and his temper was unpredictable. Look at him now, it's early in the morning, and she didn't provoke him, but he has a sullen face. Anyone who didn't know better would think that she owed him a lot of money.
But sometimes he's very gentlemanly and considerate of her feelings, and sometimes he's very childish, liking the same things a three-year-old likes.
In Lin Ling's eyes, this person is truly contradictory.
To get to the elevator lobby, she had to pass Qin Yiche's room. After all, he was her boss, the one who paid her, so Lin Ling proactively flashed a standard smile and greeted him, "Good morning~"
Qin Yiche gave her a cold look, as if he was very angry, and ignored Lin Ling.
Lin Ling was puzzled. When...did she offend him?
Ignoring him was one thing, but Lin Ling, arm in arm with Chen Jia, walked past Qin Yiche and forward.
Chen Jia said hurriedly, "Let's go have breakfast first."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ling pulled him away.
They had only taken two steps when Qin Yiche followed them into the elevator and then into the restaurant.
I just didn't sit at the same table as them; I took some food and sat down next to them.
Chen Jia glanced at Qin Yiche and whispered to Lin Ling, "What's wrong with him? He seems really angry."
"Never mind him, he's acting weird. Maybe it's his period." Lin Ling glanced at Qin Yiche, whispered to Chen Jia, and then lowered her head to continue eating her breakfast.
Qin Yiche was quick and seemed to have finished eating in about ten minutes. He remained seated in the same spot, not leaving the restaurant, playing on his phone, seemingly looking at something.
Lin Ling and Chen Jia ate for about half an hour before finishing and preparing to go back to their room.
After the two of them got up, Qin Yiche also got up and followed them out of the restaurant, still without saying a word, his face dark.
As they exited the elevator and prepared to return to their room, Qin Yiche finally called out to Lin Ling.
"You wait."
Lin Ling turned to look at him, her tone somewhat unpleasant, "What?"
Seeing this, Chen Jia quickly slipped away, saying, "I'll go in and pack my things first, you guys chat." Then she opened the door and went into the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind her, leaving Lin Ling and Qin Yiche in the hallway.
Qin Yiche and Lin Ling looked at each other. Qin Yiche looked away first, "Are you alright? Are you sober?"
"It's fine, that little bit of alcohol is nothing," Lin Ling replied casually, speaking as if she had an enormous capacity for alcohol.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yiche muttered, "I wonder who threw up all over me last time."
"What did you say?" Lin Ling asked, frowning, not having heard his mutterings clearly.
"It's nothing," Qin Yiche replied. "Where's your phone?"
When he mentioned cell phones, Lin Ling realized that she hadn't seen her phone since last night.
"It might be in my bag," she said, though she wasn't entirely sure herself. "I hope it's not lost," Lin Ling thought belatedly.
"Okay, let's check out and go back together. I'm driving," Qin Yiche offered.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ling rejected him without hesitation.
"I'm not leaving. You go back first. I need to take Jiajia to the airport later."
Qin Yiche paused, took a deep breath, and asked again, "What time is the flight?"
"It seems to be 3:30. We're going to have lunch with Niannian later to say goodbye, and then we'll head to the airport. The timing is just right," Lin Ling said enthusiastically, describing her plans for the day.
Qin Yiche's expression, which had just brightened slightly, turned gloomy again. He tossed out a sentence, "Whatever," then turned around, opened the door, went into the room, and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Lin Ling was completely bewildered, wondering what had gotten into this person this time.
"How strange~" she muttered to herself and turned to go into the room.
As soon as she entered, Chen Jia approached her with a gossipy look on her face, "What's going on between you two? What did Qin Yiche say to you?"
Lin Ling took out her bag and rummaged through her phone, replying, "Who knows what's wrong with this guy today? He asked me to go back together later, saying he was driving and could give me a ride. We're going to eat later, but I declined his offer. He probably felt embarrassed; it seems like it's the first time he's been rejected, so he's unhappy again." As Lin Ling spoke, she found her phone in her bag.
She picked up her phone and saw the WeChat messages Qin Yiche had sent the night before, as well as the missed calls he had made.
Lin Ling frowned slightly, wondering why Qin Yiche had contacted her last night and why he hadn't said anything just now.
It's really weird.
"What's wrong?" Chen Jia asked when she saw her staring at her phone without saying anything.
"Oh, it's nothing." Lin Ling put her phone away, not intending to pay attention to Qin Yiche's inexplicable behavior.
"Hurry up and think of what we're having for lunch," Lin Ling said to Chen Jia.
Chen Jia smiled at her, knowing she was avoiding Qin Yiche's question and changing the subject, so she didn't press further. When it comes to matters of the heart, only the person experiencing it truly knows; she herself hadn't even figured it out yet. Let nature take its course. If two people are meant to be, they'll be together sooner or later.
"Okay, let me find some highly-rated restaurants nearby. It's our last meal together, so we should eat something good." Chen Jia said with a smile, picking up her phone to look at the recommendations.
"I wonder if Niannian is awake yet. Should we leave at 11:30?" Chen Jia said as she looked at the screen.
Lin Ling leaned closer and said, "She had her wedding night last night, so she must have gotten up late today. Let's wake her up before we leave."
"Row."
In the end, Chen Jia and Lin Ling chose a highly-rated private restaurant. For their last meal, Chen Jia wanted to have one more authentic Jiangcheng dish, worried that she wouldn't be able to eat it again after returning home.
After booking the restaurant and helping Chen Jia pack her luggage, Lin Ling had no choice but to call Shen Nian when Shen Nian still hadn't replied by 11 o'clock.
Shen Nian is indeed still asleep. Last night...
I'm so tired...
So she didn't see the WeChat messages Lin Ling and Chen Jia sent in the group chat at all, and was only woken up when Lin Ling called.
As she frowned slightly, she heard Mo Ze answer the phone for her.
Lin Ling blurted out a teasing remark as soon as the call connected, "Is the bride awake yet? The spring night is short, the sun is high in the sky, even the sun itself is smiling!"
The next second, a deep male voice came from the phone, saying, "Lingling, it's me~"
Lin Ling was startled. "Mr. Mo, hello!"
