Chapter 565: What a Sinner
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Big Brother, are you done? When are you coming back?” Ji Yuanyuan asked straightforwardly.
“Have you finished eating? Have everyone returned yet?” Ji Zixuan asked.
“I just finished eating. Everyone is here!”
Ji Zixuan hesitated for a moment before saying softly, “I’m not done yet. 1 don’t know how long I’ll be busy. If it’s too late, I won’t go home to sleep tonight.”
“Is that so…” Ji Yuanyuan sighed. “Alright, I’ll tell Mom and Dad.”
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yuanyuan spread out his hands, “Big Brother might not be able to come back tonight.”
Fang Xinyi pursed her lips and whispered, “Forget it then. Help me return the book to your brother. As for the questions, I’ll ask the teacher on Monday.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, “Alright, I’ll tell him when he comes back.”
Yang Jingyi sat there quietly.
Suddenly, she stood up and said, “Yuanyuan, I’m leaving now. I’ll come and play with you another day.”
She grabbed her bag and was about to leave.
Fang Xinyi’s school and Yang Jingyi’s school were in opposite directions from Ji Yuanyuan’s house, so they couldn’t go together.
Thus, Fang Xinyi watched Yang Jingyi leave without saying anything.
However, not long after Yang Jingyi left, Fang Xinyi also left.
Only Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng were left in the living room.
In front of Qin Mucheng, Ji Yuanyuan no longer concealed himself and sighed helplessly, “My Big Brother is really a sinner…”
Qin Mucheng came over and asked curiously, “You can tell?”
“What?” Ji Yuanyuan blinked. “If you can tell, how can I not?”
Qin Mucheng chuckled and deliberately asked, “What are your thought then?”
“Fang Xinyi and Yang Jingyi are equally important to me, so 1 can only pretend not to know. Besides, was this something I could decide? It depends on what Big Brother thinks.”
“You’re right!” Qin Mucheng nodded.
“Why don’t we go out for a walk?” He suggested after a pause. “How about I drive you to see the stars?”
Ji Yuanyuan’s expression was apologetic, “No, 1 can’t go out tonight. I have to stay at home and look after Second Brother. Otherwise, what if he sneaks out?” “He doesn’t have a car even if he wants to run out!” Qin Mucheng said.
“That won’t do either. What if he has a way? 1’11 stay at home and watch him!” Ji Yuanyuan whispered.
Although Qin Mucheng was a little disappointed, he did not show it. He quietly accompanied Ji Yuanyuan in the living room to watch the television series.
After staying in the study for about an hour, Ji Zi’ang finally came out.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun had already returned to the master bedroom. The two of them had been quite busy recently. It was not easy for them to rest at night, so the two of them naturally wanted to talk alone.
Ji Ziang looked around and asked Ji Yuanyuan, “Are Dad and Mom in the bedroom?”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, “Yes!”
He took a few steps forward and stood at the door of the master bedroom.
He took a deep breath and knocked on the master bedroom door.
“Come in!” Li Xu’s voice sounded very quickly.
He took another deep breath and exhaled heavily before pushing the door open.
Ji Yuanyuan took the remote control and turned the volume down to the minimum. After exchanging a glance with Qin Mucheng, they both perked up their ears.
The house was soundproof, so she couldn’t hear what the three of them were talking about in the living room.
“What?” Soon, Li Xu’s furious roar came from the room.
Ji Yuanyuan did not have any defenses and was scared to the point of cowering.
Qin Mucheng quickly reached out and patted her back gently.
A moment later, Ji Zi’ang’s pleading voice was heard, “I was wrong, Mom. Don’t hit me, don’t hit me…”
Ji Yuanyuan shrunk her neck and looked at Qin Mucheng, “Big Brother
Mucheng, let’s go look at the stars!”
Qin Mucheng smiled and his eyes lit up, “Good!”
He took the car keys, held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand, and quietly went downstairs.
An hour later, Ji Zi’ang came out of the master bedroom with his eyebrows lowered. When he wanted to look for the car keys, he realized the car keys, Ji Yuanyuan, and Qin Mucheng were gone.
He hurriedly ran to the window and looked downstairs.
The sports car that was parked downstairs had also disappeared.
He touched his b.u.t.t and gasped in pain.
“I’m not even going to the compet.i.tion. Why did you drive it away? Lend it to me for fun.”
“Alright, since your father and 1 have promised you, we won’t go back on our words. There will be plenty of opportunities to satisfy yourselves in the future.” Li Xu snapped when she heard his words.
They should support their children’s hobbies.
Although his hobby was a little dangerous, he liked it.
When Li Xu heard Ji Zi’ang confess about his past partic.i.p.ation in illegal car racing, she had already thought it through.
Instead of letting the child secretly train and partic.i.p.ate in illegal compet.i.tions, it was better to let him partic.i.p.ate in formal training and then join an official team. Perhaps he could really get a medal or something.
No one’s path of growth would be smooth sailing. The danger was everywhere. As parents, they could not always protect their children within the impenetrable city walls.
When the children grew up, let them do what they liked.
It was rare to be young!
Some things were too late if they were not done when they were young.
Under the starry sky in the suburbs.
Qin Mucheng lowered the roof of the sports car and adjusted the seat back.
The two of them lay on the chair and looked at the starry sky.
The air was a little cold. Qin Mucheng’s right hand was tightly wrapped around Ji Yuanyuan’s left hand.
“How do you plan to spend your winter vacation?” Qin Mucheng suddenly asked.
“What else can 1 do? I’ll just live like that. I’ll stay at home and help my parents look after the shop.” Ji Yuanyuan knew what Qin Mucheng was thinking about and spoke deliberately.
It was obvious that after hearing Ji Yuanyuan’s words, Qin Mucheng sounded a little disappointed, “Is that all?”
“What else can I do?” Ji Yuanyuan tilted her head and looked at Qin Mucheng while holding back her laughter.
Qin Mucheng also turned his head. When he saw Ji Yuanyuan’s expression, he finally understood.
“You know.” Qin Mucheng said in a low voice, feeling a little embarra.s.sed.
“I’m fine with it, but I’m afraid that my parents won’t agree!” Ji Yuanyuan sighed softly.
She knew Qin Mucheng wanted her to stay in M Country for two days.
The two of them were now in different places and the days when they could see each other could be counted on one hand.
It was not easy to have a holiday, and he did not want to waste it.
However, she was still not eighteen years old. Furthermore, she had not confirmed her relationship with Qin Mucheng yet. Her family would probably not agree to it.
“I won’t do anything to you. You have to explain it to Uncle and Auntie. Or, you can go with Brother Zixuan or Zi’ang. Uncle and Auntie can be at ease, right?” Qin Mucheng could not help but say in a moment of desperation.
Hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan’s face could not help but turn red.
After a moment of silence, she whispered, “Then I’ll go home and discuss it with my parents..”
