Chapter 788: Chapter 785: Backing Down

Their pose was somewhat ambiguous, and Ye Chaochao’s face was tinged with red. She lifted her hand and pushed Ji Yanlin again, "Put me down!"

Ji Yanlin still held Ye Chaochao and didn’t give her a chance to break free. He frowned slightly, scrutinized her closely, and finally said, "You’ve lost weight."

"Hmph!" Ye Chaochao snorted with proud disdain.

Ji Yanlin continued, "Seeing you on a business trip for half a month without missing me at all, I thought you must be having a good time out there."

"What do you mean by having a good time? I went for work, okay?" Hearing Ji Yanlin say this, Ye Chaochao instantly bristled.

Ji Yanlin looked at Ye Chaochao and for a moment did not know what to say.

Truth be told, there were some minor rifts between them lately, and the reason was Ye Chaochao’s constant busyness with work.

Ji Yanlin did not want Ye Chaochao to work so hard. Seeing her so thin and her complexion somewhat haggard, it was enough to prove she was really struggling.

Moreover, Ji Yanlin didn’t like that Ye Chaochao’s entire time was occupied by work — not just because it was hard on her, but also because it meant she neglected his feelings.

Ever since the last 520, when Ye Chaochao was busy with work and missed their scheduled dinner, their relationship had become somewhat awkward over the past two or three months.

After a long silence, Ji Yanlin continued, "The woman earlier is new to our department, I don’t usually have much contact with her and I didn’t know her intentions. Today, all of a sudden, she created this scene."

"I didn’t handle the situation well this time. I promise there will not be such a thing again."

Upon hearing Ji Yanlin apologize to her, Ye Chaochao no longer held onto her petty anger.

She had always been at odds with Ji Yanlin since they were little, the kind that needed to fight tooth and nail. Even after getting together, they couldn’t change their nature to bicker.

But once one side gave in, the other lost the spirit to keep up the fight.

Ye Chaochao was silent for a while, then said with a hint of grievance, "It wasn’t intentional, everything was going smoothly, but then an accident happened, it took two extra days, and then I just couldn’t come back."

Ji Yanlin didn’t say a word, just leaned in close to Ye Chaochao, resting his forehead against hers as they gazed into each other’s eyes. The atmosphere gradually grew more intimate.

Ye Chaochao looked at Ji Yanlin, her heartbeat speeding up, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Ji Yanlin’s shirt.

Ji Yanlin lowered his head slightly and kissed Ye Chaochao on the lips.

Ye Chaochao closed her eyes and dared not move.

The two embraced each other, sharing a prolonged, reluctant kiss, until Ye Chaochao was nearly out of breath, and only then did Ji Yanlin release her.

Originally, Ye Chaochao was dazed by the kiss, but suddenly sensing something strange, she opened her eyes wide and subconsciously tried to pull away from Ji Yanlin’s embrace.

However, Ji Yanlin didn’t give Ye Chaochao the chance and continued to hold her. His breathing was heavy, and his voice was deep, "Don’t move, let me hold you for a while."

Listening to the tone of Ji Yanlin’s voice, Ye Chaochao really didn’t move anymore, letting Ji Yanlin hold her.

Feeling Ji Yanlin’s unusual behavior, Ye Chaochao’s heart pounded like thunder, nervous beyond measure. After all, she had been dating Ji Yanlin for two years, and the most intimate they got was kissing and hugging!
