Chapter 792: Chapter 789: Shouldn’t Be Angry Anymore, Right?

By the time Ji Yanlin returned to the apartment, there was no longer any sign of Ye Chaochao in the living room.

Ji Yanlin glanced around, then headed straight for the bedroom, where Ye Chaochao was organizing her suitcase.

Seeing Ji Yanlin enter, Ye Chaochao didn’t ask him why it took him so long to throw out the trash.

She lifted the small box she was holding and awkwardly handed it over to Ji Yanlin, saying, "This is the Qixi Festival gift I prepared for you."

Everything had been well planned, but unfortunately, she hadn’t been able to return on the day of the Qixi Festival.

If it were just this one time, Ye Chaochao might not have minded much, except that there had already been a missed appointment before.

Ji Yanlin had even told her repeatedly, and she had promised that she would definitely come back, but ultimately, fate wasn’t on her side, and she couldn’t return as planned.

As a result, Ye Chaochao felt somewhat sorry for Ji Yanlin.

Ji Yanlin walked over, took the box from Ye Chaochao’s hands, and opened it right in front of her.

Inside the box was a men’s watch, similar to the style Ji Yanlin usually wore—a standard gift that didn’t seem to have anything special about it.

But since it was from Ye Chaochao, the significance was naturally different.

Ye Chaochao actually knew the watch wasn’t anything special, but at that moment, there was still a touch of anticipation in her eyes. She reminded Ji Yanlin, "Check the back."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yanlin raised his eyebrows slightly, curious about what was on the back, and flipped the watch over to see the engraving clearly marked on the back of the dial.

It was simply the initials "J.Y.," but since the font was clearly hand-engraved, not done by a machine, a flicker of surprise passed through Ji Yanlin’s eyes, "Did you engrave this yourself?"

Ye Chaochao nodded repeatedly, then took out another small box, and said eagerly, "I have one too, it’s a matching set."

Ji Yanlin looked at Ye Chaochao, then chuckled shaking his head, why was he always making such a fuss with Ye Chaochao?

Seeing Ji Yanlin laugh, it was the most genuine smile she’d seen from him all day, and Ye Chaochao also breathed a sigh of relief.

So, this meant he really wasn’t angry anymore, right?

However, the smile on Ji Yanlin’s face didn’t last long before it suddenly stiffened, affecting Ye Chaochao’s mood as well.

Ji Yanlin paused, then told Ye Chaochao somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, the gift I prepared for you is at the office."

Ye Chaochao had thought Ji Yanlin was about to say something significant, so she relaxed upon hearing this, "It’s okay, it will be the same when you give it to me next time."

"Mhm," Ji Yanlin nodded, then continued, "It’s getting late, let me finish packing the luggage, you go take a bath first."

Ye Chaochao blinked slowly, her nodding slightly delayed, "Okay."

So Ye Chaochao went to take a shower in the bathroom, while Ji Yanlin continued to organize the luggage she hadn’t managed to unpack.

Yet at that very moment, Ye Chaochao was distracted even while showering; her heart was racing, and combined with the steam, it made her feel almost breathless.

She knew what was about to happen between her and Ji Yanlin, and by not choosing to leave, she implicitly consented to whatever would unfold.

But knowing was one thing, and facing it was another; Ye Chaochao felt she could not help being nervous.

Ye Chaochao took a deep breath, her face flushed red.
