Hearing Lin Yi’s call, Ji Qingyan frowned slightly.
He was originally in high spirits and wanted to show Lin Yi when he returned.
Great, they hadn’t even reached home yet, but he was leaving again.
“Who called?”
“Director Shen said that there’s a problem at the laboratory and asked me to go over.”
“There are so many people in the laboratory. Can’t he handle it? Why does he still have to call you?” Complained Ji Qingyan.
She didn’t want to stop Lin Yi. Men still had to focus on their work.
However, he had just returned. She could count on one hand the number of nights he had stayed at home. It would still be fine if he could at least stay home tonight.
Director Shen’s sense of timing was impeccable.
“It can’t be helped.” Lin Yi said.
“The photolithography machine and the chip are priorities. Besides, other than Director Shen, I’m the best at the laboratory. It’s only natural that I will need to go over and take a look if there’s a problem.”
“Alright.” Ji Qingyan replied listlessly.
“It’s just a meal. We can eat it anytime. It’s fine.”
With that, Lin Yi kissed Ji Qingyan on the cheek.
However, Ji Qingyan did not react.
Lin Yi was also a little puzzled. It was just a trip, so why was she showing such a big reaction?
He could not be blamed for this.
Even though they were separated for long, it was not his choice. He naturally would have wanted to stay close to her.
Lin Yi had been too tired yesterday. Ji Qingyan thought that she would have a chance today, but Director Shen ruined it.
How infuriating.
Lin Yi didn’t say anything. The wound had already opened. If he didn’t hurry up, blood would ooze out. This would expose him.
Unconsciously, Lin Yi stepped on the accelerator and drove the car back to Jiuzhou Pavilion a few minutes sooner than expected. Then, acting as if nothing had happened, he helped her carry the groceries inside before preparing to leave.
“When will you be back?”
Standing at the door, she asked.
“I don’t think it will take long. I’ll be back in a while. You can eat by yourself. Don’t wait for me.”
“Oh, okay. Drive slowly on the road.”
“Sure thing.”
Lin Yi gave her a kiss on the cheek before driving off.
After leaving the Jiuzhou Pavilion, Lin Yi drove to the hospital.
Li Chuhan had gone home from work, and Qiao Xin was on duty.
“No way, why the kind offer?”
“Well, I’m a good boss.”
“Aren’t you afraid that if my blind date succeeds, I won’t let you sleep with me in the future?”
“Isn’t it more exciting to sleep with a married woman?”
“President Lin, I’m married!” A Meiguon researcher said.
“I just had a baby. Do I still have a chance?” Said a Ruidish researcher.
“Uh... Don’t worry, everyone. There’s a chance.”
The atmosphere in the laboratory became relaxed because of Lin Yi.
“Why are you here? Where’s Director Shen?” Lin Yi looked around.
“Director Shen went to Yanjing to talk to some old friends about the new photolithography machine.”
“He didn’t bring you.”
“I have a lot of things to deal with here, so I took the initiative to stay. But I’m almost done. I’m going to go down and look for him tomorrow.”
“So that’s what happened.”
“Are you here to look for Director Shen? Do you need me to call him?”
“No need. I’ll stay here for the night. Director Shen has a bed in his office, right?”
Lu Ying looked at Lin Yi unhappily. “Did you do something wrong, only to be discovered by the lady boss, so she didn’t let you in?”
“It’s a long story.”
Lin Yi originally wanted to go back after treating his wound.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it was better not to go back. It would not be good if another accident like today happened.
Moreover, he had sufficient reasons. It was normal for scientific researchers to be busy all night.
In the end, he decided not to go back. If Ji Qingyan were to check up on him, he would not be able to go anywhere else. It was the perfect plan.
“Alright then.” Lu Ying did not ask further. “Director Shen has a bed in his room, but it’s not very comfortable.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s fine as long as there’s a place to stay.”
The others were hard at work, and Lin Yi was too embarrassed to go to bed. Thus, he worked until ten o’clock before going back to rest.
Jiuzhou Pavilion.
After Lin Yi left, Ji Qingyan was no longer in the mood to cook for herself. She ordered takeout and had a casual dinner.
Ring ring ring!
Ji Qingyan’s phone rang at this moment. It was a call from He Yuanyuan.
“Huh? Why are you eating takeout?” He Yuanyuan asked in surprise.
“Director Shen called Lin Yi to work overtime. 1 didn’t want to cook anymore.”
“Work overtime?” He Yuanyuan asked.
“Director Shen is in Yanjing on a business trip.. Why would he ask him to work overtime?”
