Chapter 278 A Sad Question

"Let's go, kids. It's getting late. Mom will take you to bed." Ji Wan said softly.

I carried the children back to the bedroom, helped them change into pajamas, and let them lie down on the bed.

She also changed her clothes and lay down between the two children.

Yuening raised her head, her eyes full of confusion, and whispered, "Mom, where is Dad?"

Ruize also raised his head and looked at Ji Wan without blinking, waiting for an answer.

Ji Wan forced a bitter smile, gently touched his little daughter's head, then reached out and pinched his eldest son's face, saying softly, "Dad is on a business trip abroad. He will be back in a few years."

The eldest son frowned and said, "Really? Why did it take so long?"

Ji Wan hugged the two children in his arms and said softly, "Dad's work is very important. He will stay abroad for a long time before coming back, but Dad loves you very much and he misses you too."

Yuening snuggled closer to Ji Wan and said in a baby voice, "Can we call Daddy then?"

Ji Wan hugged the child tightly and said, "Of course, when dad is free, we can call him."

As he coaxed them, the two little kids' eyelids started to droop. Ji Wan hummed a song in a soft and soothing voice, and they fell asleep soon.

…

After Ji Wan finished her maternity leave, she gradually returned to work.

My daily life is pretty routine. I deal with various affairs in the company in the morning. I don't panic when I just come back. I review and approve each document in an orderly manner.

Although we were working online before production, it was a bit difficult to adapt to the offline work at first.

After get off work in the afternoon, Ji Wan hurried home. Every time he returned home and saw the cute faces of his children, all the fatigue of the day disappeared.

"Wanjie, is this investigation project approved?"

Sun Tian came over with the document and Ji Wan took it and looked at it.

"Okay, this place is in the western suburbs, I'll go with you."

Sun Tian nodded, "Okay, then I'll accompany you."

Ji Wan couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, I'm not a porcelain doll, it's okay."

"That won't do. Sister Wan, I am your gold medal bodyguard now. I don't want to see anyone dare to hurt you!" After saying this, Sun Tian posed seriously.

Ji Wan couldn't help laughing, and stood up to walk out, "Then I'll trouble you, little bodyguard."

Sun Tian immediately followed, and the two got in the car and headed to the inspection site.

When I arrived at the place and started to investigate, I suddenly heard a familiar voice behind me.

Ji Wan turned around and saw that it was Chi Lin.

When Chi Lin saw her, his eyes were full of surprise. His gaze first fell on Ji Wan's face, then slowly moved down.

When he saw that Ji Wan had regained her figure and was no longer bloated after giving birth, a barely perceptible surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You...you have given birth?" There was obvious surprise in Chi Lin's voice, as well as a different emotion.

He took a step forward, his eyes fixed on Ji Wan's face. The concern in his eyes seemed a little too strong, and his tone was quite ambiguous. "Ms. Ji, can you handle going back to work so soon after giving birth?"

Ji Wan frowned, ignored Chi Lin's words, turned around and continued talking to his colleagues as if Chi Lin didn't exist.

Everyone else noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, but they didn't ask any more questions and continued with the previous topic.

Chi Lin stood there, his face turning pale, but even though his heart was in turmoil, he still pretended to be humble. He adjusted his expression slightly, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes involuntarily followed Ji Wan's departing back.

When Ji Wan walked alone to a quiet corner to rest, Chi Lin appeared like a ghost.

"Mr. Ji." Chi Lin called Ji Wan softly, with a gentle and affectionate look on his face.

Ji Wan just felt nauseous. Feng Hao had guessed right. This guy really liked him. He didn't know what he liked about him.

Chi Lin still had that fake gentle and humble look, as if the embarrassment just now had never happened.

"Congratulations to Ms. Ji on the successful delivery. It's a pity that the baby's father is not around." Chi Lin said.

Ji Wan turned his head away, "What do you want to say?"

Chi Lin lowered his eyes, looking somewhat pitiful as he said, "Boss Ji, it's better to let go of the people you should let go of. You must have had a hard time this year. If you need someone to accompany you, I'm willing to stay by your side."

Ji Wan suppressed the nausea in his heart and wanted to see what other disgusting things he could come up with.

"Don't worry, I have put the Chi family in order this year, and those things that disgusted you in the past will not happen again." There was a self-proclaimed sincerity in his eyes.

"Are you done?" Ji Wan asked.

Chi Lin nodded, staring at Ji Wan without blinking.

After hearing what he said, Ji Wan crossed his legs, leaned forward, and curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, his smile full of sarcasm.

"President Chi is very capable. The Chi family is in your hands. Isn't it almost becoming your one-man show? President Chi is so capable. I dare not be with you. Don't let him scheme against me one day." Ji Wan's voice was not loud, but every word was sharp. Every word was like a sharp knife, stabbing straight at Chi Lin.

Chi Lin's face froze slightly, but he still tried to maintain that gentle appearance and said, "Mr. Ji, you misunderstood me. The Chi family is like a pile of loose sand. Everything I do is for the good of the Chi family, and also for you to have a comfortable environment when you come back one day."

Ji Wan rolled his eyes and thought to himself that this guy really spoke without thinking.

"For the good of the Chi family? It seems that I am not as thick-skinned as you, but you are really good at flattering yourself. Second Uncle Chi went crazy in just half a year. The various branches of the Chi family fell apart, and they used endless means. Just say it directly for your own selfish desires. Why bother to hide it and say it in a high-sounding way." Ji Wan stretched, with disdain in his eyes, and stood up to leave.

Chi Lin chuckled softly, and there was a glimmer in his eyes when he looked at Ji Wan.

"Mr. Ji is truly clever for being able to secure the position of president of two companies. However, when doing business, there are always some tricks involved. Mr. Ji wouldn't dare to claim to be innocent."

Ji Wan came back to his senses, his eyes as cold as water, and said coldly, "No matter how dirty I am, I am still cleaner than you."

After saying that, she walked away with her long legs. Chi Lin looked at her back and concealed the pleasure in his eyes.

Chi Lin said softly, "I still say the same thing. If Mr. Ji doesn't have a place to go, I welcome him here anytime."

Ji Wan just quickened his pace and hurried away from this madman.

"Sister Wan found you!" Sun Tian came over with the documents in her arms, looking alert. "Sister Wan, I saw that kid Chi Lin. Is he bothering you again?"

"It's okay. Why don't you keep pestering me? I can knock you down with one punch with that small body." Ji Wan chuckled.
