Chapter 34.1 “Ji Lin!!! Why is Bai Duanduan in your room?!”

Unfortunately Ji Lin’s alarm bell was interrupted by Bai Duanduan before it could ring for a long time. She had eaten her fill, achieved her goal of continuing to dawdle till noon, and then, before Ji Lin even knew it, she had already walked up to him.

“Ji Lin! You have cat hair stuck to your face!” Bai Duanduan pointed to Ji Lin’s left face while eating fruit, staring at him earnestly with her big round eyes. 

Ji Lin almost subconsciously touched his left cheek. He had indeed hugged the cat before cooking. 

“No, not there, a bit above, a bit more.”

“Hey hey hey, it’s too far up, a little more down, down.”

“No, move a little more to the left, just a little bit, no no, more to the right, hey, more up ……”

It’s just a pity that even though Bai Duanduan kept giving instructions, Ji Lin couldn’t find the right position of the cat hair no matter what, always missing it precisely ……

Eventually, Bai Duanduan sighed and gave no more instructions. Just when Ji Lin thought she had finally given up and was going to look in the mirror himself to take away the cat hair stuck to his face, Bai Duanduan walked towards him, step after step, until she had completely crossed Ji Lin’s line of safe distance. She was standing at a stone’s throw away from him. Such a distance almost made Ji Lin’s whole body pull up the alarm line. Ji Lin almost subconsciously backed up, wanting to pull away from Bai Duanduan, however, Bai Duanduan was walking all the way towards him…..

But Bai Duanduan, the one who started it all, threw away the cat hair senselessly and looked at Ji Lin, and after just one look, she let out a shocked cry, “Ji Lin, what’s wrong with your face? Why is it so red? Do you have some kind of allergy? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”

Ji Lin simply gritted his teeth. Bai Duanduan’s expression was too magnanimous. She didn’t realize what she had caused, and Ji Lin knew very well that she really didn’t mean it. It wasn’t any intentional teasing or carefully prepared trap or a planned approach, but because he knew this, Ji Lin felt that Bai Duanduan was even more hateful.

This woman was really poisonous, very, very poisonous.

_____

Bai Duanduan was completely unaware of what was going through Ji Lin’s mind. She was even a little complacent about her behavior just then. She looked very warm and friendly when she helped Ji Lin take away the cat fur, and behaved exactly like a grateful neighbor. It was simply perfect! 

She had finished her meal and was just about to go home after thanking Ji Lin, when she heard a knock at Ji Lin’s door.

“Ji Lin, open the door!”

By the sound of that voice, it was Rong Sheng. Since the two of them had something to talk about, it was time for her to retire herself.

Bai Duanduan looked at Ji Lin, “Then I’ll ……”

As a result, before Bai Duanduan could finish the word “go”, Ji Lin dragged her back a little rudely. He looked at Bai Duanduan and then calmly said, “You hide in my room, Rong Sheng will only come into the study to discuss the case with me, but definitely not into my bedroom. “

“Huh?”

While Bai Duanduan was wondering, the knocking at the door became more intense and the knocking style suddenly changed —

“Ji Lin ah, you don’t try to hide inside silently, I know you are home, open the door ah, open the door ah, come and open the door for me ah!”

……

Rongsheng was probably bored of waiting outside so he started to imagine himself as a rapper and shouted more and more vigorously, as if he was going to rap on the spot and improvise another bbox if Ji Lin didn’t open the door.

Ji Lin frowned and gave Bai Duan an ultimatum, “There’s no time, hurry up and hide in the room.”

“Oh oh…”

Ji Lin lowered his voice and said with a solemn face, “Stay well hidden and don’t come out. The bedroom is en-suite and has a toilet.”

She don’t know if it was because of the exaggerated style of Rong Sheng’s knocking on the door or the sense of urgency that there was no time left, but Bai Duanduan’s logic was confused for a while, and Ji Lin’s expression in front of her was too calm and cool, giving people a sense of conviction for no reason, making Bai Duanduan subconsciously feel that his plan was right, and that in this situation, she should really hurry to hide in his room.

It was only when Bai Duanduan really hid in Ji Lin’s bedroom and listened to Ji Lin open the door to greet Rongsheng outside that she suddenly came to her senses…

Why the hell did she have to hide?

Now the plot seems like Rong Sheng was Ji Lin’s first wife, and she was the mistress who was having a backstabbing relationship with Ji Lin, the slag. Now that the first wife has caught the adultery, she has to hide in order to avoid being beaten up by the first wife? If Rong Sheng rushes into the room later, does she have to find an air-conditioner to hide? But she seems to have eaten a bit too much recently and gained a bit of weight. Can the air conditioning unit still carry her weight?

Bai Duanduan looked at Ji Lin’s completely cold and windy room, and her mind began to gallop like a wild horse….

Inside the bedroom, Bai Duanduan was thinking deeply about life, and outside the bedroom, Rong Sheng was also ready to think about life a little.

He looked dumbfounded at the leftover dishes on Ji Lin’s dining table and was shocked to the point of doubting his life, “Ji Lin?! Did you have a fever and burn out your brain, or am I hallucinating from the fever? Did you cook by yourself?!” Rong Sheng marveled, “Didn’t you say that cooking was a complete waste of time and not cost-effective at all, and that according to your rates, you would lose nearly 20,000 yuan for cooking a single meal, so you would rather eat takeaway for the rest of your life than cook?”

“Oh, it just occurred to me that men, too, need to be kind to themselves.” Ji Lin pursed his lips, glanced at Rong Sheng, and said in a breezy, self-effacing tone, “I’ve rethought it. Law field is a profession about one’s experience. There’s no such thing as the older you get the less valuable you are. In fact, as you gain experience the rates only get higher, so in that sense it’s more cost effective for me to live long enough.”

He rolled his eyes and very naturally drew the conclusion, “Eating takeaway all the time cooked in gutter oil is bad for your stomach, and you’re prone to early death as well as it is not economical. In Fact, it is not bad to cook your own food once in a while.”

Rong Sheng nodded convincingly and he seemed to completely accept Ji Lin’s reasoning. He was salivating as he looked at the dishes on the table, “I admire your cooking skills, since you’ve decided to treat yourself better, why don’t you treat me better along with you? You’re going to cook anyway, so can I stay and eat with you?”

It was a pity that he was greeted by Ji Lin’s heartlessness, “No.”

“Why?!”

“Because I’m a lawyer, not a chef, and I don’t cook for other people.” Ji Lin gave Rong Sheng a cold look, “Also, what’s the matter with you coming over today?” He glanced at his watch, “I have a conference call in a quarter of an hour.”

This was a subtle order of expulsion, but Rong Sheng didn’t care at all. He started to complain as soon as Ji Lin mentioned why he was there that day, “Hey, don’t mention it, I was just escorted by my parents to a blind date, and it was too bad! It was only the first meeting and the woman told me that she wanted to go to Tahiti for her honeymoon and to Bali for the wedding. The diamond ring must be from Tiffany’s and that it had to be one carat or more. After marriage, she doesn’t want to work and decides to stay home to raise the children and she plans to have two children. She had also thought about which children’s school district she wants to buy a house in the future. She seemed so enthusiastic about me as if she was going to eat me alive……. It scared the shit out of me so I rushed to think of an excuse to leave.”

Rong Sheng was really quite distressed that day, yet he noticed that Ji Lin was also a bit distracted by his confessions. But Rong Sheng was distressed enough himself and thought Ji Lin was about as busy as he could be with work, so he didn’t care, and he just went on and on about his misery —
