Mr. Huo, stop being abusive. Miss Fu is going on a blind date again.

“My mouth seems swollen.”

When Ling Zhao woke up the next day, he touched his lips.

She looked at Ji Lin, her face showing helplessness and confusion.

With that innocent face and pure eyes, she looked at him innocently.

Seeing this, Ji Lin wanted to kiss her again.

He cleared his throat and said, "You probably can't eat spicy food, that's why it's swollen. Does it hurt?"

As he spoke, he sat down on the edge of the bed and smoothed down the small tuft of hair that stood up on top of her head without leaving any trace.

He was quite restrained last night. He didn't dare to kiss me for too long and also controlled the strength. It shouldn't hurt.

Ling Zhao shook his head, "It doesn't hurt, but my tongue is a little numb."

"That's spicy." Ji Lin said to her seriously, "It's my fault. I won't let you eat something that spicy in the future."

Ling Zhao nodded. She looked at herself quietly. Except for the jacket, all other clothes were still on her body, and there was no sign of looseness on her chest.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Little did she know that all these little actions of hers were seen by Ji Lin. In his eyes, besides tenderness and doting, there was only smile.

However, when Ling Zhao raised his eyes, he quickly restrained his emotions and just asked, "Do you want to get up, or sleep a little longer?"

Ling Zhao looked around for a while, "Where's my phone?"

Ji Lin pointed to the sofa and said, "It ran out of power and turned off last night. I just charged it for you."

Ling Zhao frowned slightly.

out of battery.

She didn't need to think to know that Ling Feng must have called her last night. It was okay if his phone was turned off, as she didn't want to answer his call.

"Then go wash up, I'll wait for you downstairs."

After Ji Lin left the room, Ling Zhao quickly got out of bed.

Even though she was drunk last night, she didn't feel any headache at all. I guess it was the result of Ji Lin's careful care.

She quickly closed and locked the bathroom door, unbuttoned her sweater, then unbuttoned her shirt, lifted up her undershirt, and put the bra back on her body as it was, without any sign of anything unusual.

She looked at herself in the mirror with a wary look on her face.

Only then did she realize that she had been too nervous because of being controlled by Ling Feng for so many years.

After dinner, Ji Lin drove Ling Zhao back to the Ling family and then returned to the Bi Hai Mansion.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ji's father and mother sitting on the sofa, talking about something.

"Dad, mom."

Ji Lin strode in.

The moment Ji's father and mother saw Ji Lin, the expressions on their faces could hardly be suppressed.

Late last night, Ji's father called Zhong Qing and asked him to run errands to get something.

As a result, Zhong Qing said that he was at Ji Lin's place.

Ji Lin's father knew that Ji Lin had returned to China. He just asked Zhong Qing what Ji Lin was doing.

Zhong Qing was hesitating on the phone, and he knew something was wrong.

Later, he played some tricks and Zhong Qing couldn't stand it, so he said that Ji Lin's friend was drunk and Ji Lin was taking care of his friend.

Ji's father was shocked. What kind of friend needs Ji Lin to take care of him personally so late at night?

In a flash, Ji's father suddenly remembered what his wife had told him before, that Ji Lin might like men.

His expression suddenly became interesting. He knew he should be a father who would not spoil the fun, but he still couldn't help asking Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing began to hesitate again, and it was even more difficult for him to speak than before.

You don't need to ask to know that the friend Ji Lin is taking care of is definitely the man Ji Lin likes.

Just now he and his boss were discussing whether or not he should go and take a look in person.

But they both agreed that such behavior would not be too hurtful to Ji Lin's dignity.

At first glance, when they saw Ji Lin coming back, they both felt a little guilty.

"My son is back!" Father Ji covered up his embarrassment with laughter, walked up, hugged Ji Lin, and patted his shoulder.

Ji Lin mechanically curved his lips, then instantly fell in expression, "What bad things have you done?"

He knows his parents too well.

Normally they both look kind and gentle, but today they seem to have a sneaky vibe to them. Something must be wrong.

Father Ji laughed dryly and said, "No way."

He winked at his boss.

Ji's mother also laughed awkwardly, "It's just that I was a little too shocked to see you come back so suddenly."

Ji Lin glanced at them suspiciously. Seeing that the two of them were pretending to be too hard, he thought to himself, forget it. If there was anything, he would tell him sooner or later. And it was definitely not a physical matter, otherwise his sister would have told him long ago.

Ji Qing went to work, and Grandma Ji went out for a walk after breakfast.

The three of them sat together. Ji's mother asked Ji Lin how he was living in Zurich, whether he was eating well, and that he looked a lot thinner. Although these topics had been discussed many times on the phone, as a mother, she is always worried about her children.

Ji's father asked him about his studies.

"Mom and Dad, I just have something to tell you. I plan to go back to work in the company. My sister has already assigned me a position. What I learn on paper is just theoretical knowledge after all. I want to train myself through practice."

Father and Mother Ji had no objection. "It's the best that you think so. I'm worried that you won't be able to handle it."

"I am completely fine now, except that I can't participate in the competition, it's the same as before."

Hearing Ji Lin say in a normal tone that he could not participate in the competition, Ji's father and mother were a little stunned, but soon the stone in their hearts finally fell.

It would be best if he could see things in a positive light.

But they were confused in their hearts: why did he suddenly become so open-minded and able to let it go?

Later in the conversation, Ji's mother naturally turned the topic to Ji Lin's emotional problems.

"Your father and I are both open-minded people. If you meet a suitable girl abroad, it doesn't matter what country she is from, as long as you like her, it's fine."

Ji's father sat next to Ji's mother and patted her on the back quietly, reminding her not to talk about girls right away and make Ji Lin embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Ji Lin smiled, and even his black and white eyes were tinged with laughter. He smiled and said, "I know, Mom and Dad. When I have a girlfriend, I will bring her back to show you. You will definitely like her."

He heard Grandma Ji and the nanny talking outside the door, so he stood up and walked out.

The two confused parents were left sitting on the sofa, their expressions changing rapidly.

"Why... why are you suddenly talking about having a girlfriend again?"

Mother Ji also looked incredulous, "But he clearly... Could it be that he promised us this on purpose, and then tricked a girl into marrying into our family, and then messed around outside?"

Father Ji took a breath and said, "My son would never do such a wicked thing."

Mother Ji nodded, "Yeah, so what do you think he meant?"

Father Ji had a serious expression and his brows were furrowed.

But Zhong Qing clearly said last night that Ji Lin was taking care of a man, and from Zhong Qing's behavior, it seemed that the man was quite close to Ji Lin, which was why Zhong Qing couldn't say it.

After a while, his face showed a mixture of surprise and fear. "Is our son trying to have sex with both men and women?"
