Chapter 274 Can You Please Not Listen to Me So Much?

When Ji Yubai returned after paying the bill, he encountered an angry Zhong Lingxi at the door of the private room.

"Are you leaving?"

Zhong Lingxi gave a cold laugh, "Aren't you leaving?"

"If you leave, of course I'll leave too."

Ji Yubai spoke in a flattering tone, tentatively placing his hand on Zhong Lingxi's shoulder.

Zhong Lingxi shrugged and strode forward, putting distance between herself and him.

Although Lingxi was angry, and his heart ached, he knew the opportunity was hard-won, and he had to seize it.

His relationship with Lingxi was too formal and rigid; they were so close that they lacked the romantic flair that couples typically share.

So, even though they liked each other, they always felt something was missing.

Watching Zhong Lingxi walk briskly ahead with her arms crossed, Ji Yubai thought of everything she had gone through before, and he couldn't bear to see Lingxi angry for so long.

Holding in anger is bad for your health.

Ji Yu ran a few steps and caught up with Zhong Lingxi. "Lingxi, listen to me."

Zhong Lingxi covered her ears, her tone somewhat fierce, "I'm not listening, shut up."

He always listened to Lingxi. When Lingxi told him to shut up, he would just silently follow along, not daring to make a sound.

The wind by the river carried the chill of autumn, lifting her long hair and blowing it into her clothes.

Zhong Lingxi suddenly felt a chill run through her body, the cold penetrating to her bones, but her thoughts became exceptionally clear.

Zhen Zhen was merely bringing up the past; what wrong did Ji Yubai do?

She had a past too.

Ji Yubai could accept her unbearable past.

Why can't I accept that Ji Yubai has any dealings with artists from Xinglifang?

Ji Yubai said that she had never had a girlfriend, and she believed it.

Ji Yubai will take over Xinglifang sooner or later. The company will never lack beautiful and interesting people, all kinds of beauties.

Does she have to get this angry just because they, like Zhen Zhen, have said a few words about drinking and eating with Ji Yubai?

She'll probably be filled with endless anger her whole life, and eventually die from various nodules.

Moreover, after being with Ji Yubai, she became completely unlike herself.

Stingy, sensitive, and moody.

She knew it wasn't good; she shouldn't have been so petty with Ji Yubai.

She wanted to be nicer to Ji Yubai, but she just couldn't control herself.

Even without what Zhen Zhen said, Ji Yubai is still the best lover in the world, and she should cherish him.

When Ji Yubai spoke again, "Lingxi, this isn't the way back to the hotel. Where are we going?"

Zhong Lingxi's tone was noticeably better now, "Let's go back to my home."

"You're not staying at a hotel with me?" Ji Yubai said dejectedly.

"Ah."

Ji Yubai disliked the current cold atmosphere, so he told Lingxi the truth.

"I have nothing to do with Brother Qiang and the others. Today is the first time we've eaten together. They just felt that there wasn't quite enough between us, so they wanted to provoke you."

"Okay, I understand," Zhong Lingxi replied in a calm tone.

Ji Yubai was even more at a loss, wanting to say something but hesitant.

Zhong Lingxi added, "We're already engaged, so don't overthink it, and I won't either."

The weak explanation felt like punching cotton; Ji Yubai was utterly powerless.

"I've arrived." Zhong Lingxi stood downstairs at the faculty and staff dormitory building. "You should go back to your hotel and rest."

"Lingxi~" He hadn't coaxed Lingxi yet, and he didn't want to be separated from her at all.

"I'll come find you tomorrow morning, you should go back to the hotel," Zhong Lingxi urged.

No matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to obey.

Ji Yubai stared at Zhong Lingxi's face for a long while before he had no choice but to turn away.

Ugh, I should have just swore.

If Lingxi had flipped the table back then, she wouldn't have been so sullen.

On the very first day of their engagement, he angered his fiancée.

Ji Yubai, you're really useless; you can't even appease your wife.

Ji Yubai was feeling down. He hadn't gone far when he suddenly heard Zhong Lingxi calling his name.

"Ji Yubai".

He turned around, his face full of surprise, "What did you want to say?"

Can you find your way?

Ji Yubai's smile froze on his face. "I can use a map to navigate to it."

"Ji Yubai".

"what's up?"

"Can you please stop listening to me so much!"

Can you please not listen to Lingxi so much?

What do you mean?

Ji Yubai opened his eyes wide, trying to understand Zhong Lingxi's expression.

The night breeze lifted her long, straight black hair. Dressed in white, she stood in the night, her smile as beautiful as a flower.

Lingxi is no longer angry.

Ji Yubai rushed back to her side, wrapped his arms around her waist, and picked her up.

"That's great, you're not angry anymore."

Zhong Lingxi patted his shoulder and smiled gently, "Put me down. The uncles and aunties here are all Mom's colleagues. It's not good for them."

"Oh, oh, oh~" Ji Yubai responded, obediently putting Zhong Lingxi down.

His silly smile made Zhong Lingxi's nose tingle. "Would you like to come up and sit for a while?"

Go upstairs and sit for a while.

We never received this kind of treatment before; it was always just dropping us off at the entrance of the residential area.

Today, I can actually spend a little more time with Lingxi.

Happiness comes too quickly.

Ji Yubai tilted his head in disbelief, squinting at her. "You're definitely trying to scare me."

"Hmm~" Zhong Lingxi cleared her throat heavily, looked away, and said awkwardly, "If you say so, I'll agree."

"I want it, I want it." Ji Yubai answered excitedly twice, afraid that Lingxi would change her mind the next second and not allow him to go upstairs. "I've never seen your room since I was a child."

Zhong Lingxi's eyes were full of smiles as she took Ji Yubai's hand and said, "Let's go."

The old, low-rise residential buildings have very clean stairwells.

At the corner, you can see the scenery of the community and the playground and teaching buildings of Jincheng Middle School through the gaps in the plum blossom pattern made of bricks.

So this is Lingxi's home, where she has lived for over twenty years. He is standing on the ground that Lingxi walks on every day.

Ji Yubai looked around, touching everything, even the armrests that were worn shiny from being touched so much, he thought they were beautiful.

Footsteps came from upstairs. Zhong Lingxi, holding Ji Yubai's hand, stood against the wall and greeted him, "Hello, former principal."

"Lingxi, you're back." The old principal was in high spirits, and a smile appeared on his face as soon as he saw the younger generation.

“This is my fiancé, Ji Yubai,” Zhong Lingxi introduced.

The old principal looked at the two of them with a smile, "The young man is handsome and talented, a good match for our Lingxi."

Ji Yubai was overjoyed and felt elated. "Take care, old principal."

The two watched the old principal go downstairs before Zhong Lingxi took out her key and opened the door.

"This is my home, come in."
