Chapter 448: What Good News Do You Have?

Li Yiyi didn’t say much to the young couple and quickly turned back to her room.

When she came out of her room again, it was already time for dinner.

Seeing that the young couple was still here, she wasn’t surprised and quickly went to the kitchen to help Mrs. Jiang and the others serve the food.

Soon after the table was set, Jiang Hong returned home.

Seeing the unreliable younger sister and brother-in-law still here, he immediately furrowed his brows. “Why are you two here again? Didn’t I tell you not to come over so often if nothing’s going on?”

“Third brother, we came to tell you some good news. We didn’t come here casually.” Jiang Huijing pouted and said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hong sneered. “What good news do you have? Just don’t bother Mom and Dad.”

Jiang Huijing stomped her foot in anger upon hearing this, “Third brother, you’re being too dismissive! Do you think I don’t have good news? Listen up, I’ve got good news about me and Fuguige’s work. We’ve found a job! We don’t need your help anymore.”

Jiang Hong finally looked at them properly, his gaze slightly less dismissive. “Is this true? You two really found a job? You’re not lying to me, are you?”

At this point, he quickly changed his tone. “Wait, which blind person would hire you two to work for them?”

As soon as he said that, Li Yiyi, who was sitting beside him, couldn’t hold back and chuckled.

The young couple was so embarrassed that their faces turned red.

“Who hired you two? Tell me, I’ll see if your third sister-in-law and I know them,” Jiang Hong asked.

“They’re from a family with the surname Chen. I heard they’re in business, but they didn’t let us ask too many questions. They just told us to go there, be quiet, and do the work. The salary won’t be less, and they even provide food and accommodation,” Wang Fugui said happily.

“You two need to work hard when you get there. Finding a job is tough these days, especially with your low education. It’s even harder for you two,” Jiang’s father said, giving them a reminder.

“Dad, I know. We’ll work hard and won’t slack off,” Wang Fugui immediately promised Jiang’s father.

The family had a pleasant dinner.

After dinner, Wang Fugui and Jiang Huijing took the initiative to clear the dishes and wash them.

Once they were done, Jiang Hong drove them back to the guest house.

Jiang Hong didn’t return home until around 10 p.m.

When he got home, the house was quiet. Upon entering the bedroom, he found that, just as he had expected, his wife hadn’t gone to bed yet and was sitting on the bed reading.

“Wife, I’m back,” he said with a gentle smile, walking towards the bed.

Li Yiyi put down the book she was holding and looked over at him. “Did you send them back?”

“Yeah, they were really happy. They laughed nonstop all the way back,” Jiang Hong said, sitting down beside her.

Li Yiyi smiled. “I could tell. But do you know the family that hired them to work?”

As soon as she said that, Jiang Hong raised an eyebrow. “Wife, are you worried there’s something fishy about the family that hired them?”

“It’s possible. Do you really believe there are opportunities like this, where a free lunch just falls into their lap?” She asked, looking at him.

Jiang Hong immediately replaced his smile with a serious face. “You’re right. It’s not possible. I’ll look into this Chen family tomorrow to see what they’re really about.”

“Alright, you decide what to do. I’m just giving you a reminder. It’s getting late. You should go shower, I’m going to sleep first,” she yawned.

Seeing his wife’s eyelids getting heavy, Jiang Hong leaned down and kissed her forehead. “Okay, you sleep first. I’ll go shower, and when I’m done, I’ll come back and spend time with you.”

Li Yiyi patted his shoulder. “Okay, hurry up. I’ll wait for you here.”

When Jiang Hong heard her words, his eyes lit up. He quickly helped her lie down. “Alright, I’ll be back soon. You wait for me.”

With that, he rushed out of the room with a change of clothes.

Li Yiyi watched his fast-moving figure and rolled around happily on the bed.

Soon, her eyelids became heavier, and before long, the bed was filled with the soft sounds of her breathing as she fell asleep.

Five minutes later, when Jiang Hong rushed back into the room, his hair still damp from the shower, he found his wife already fast asleep on the bed.

At that moment, his previously excited heart suddenly calmed down.

He walked quietly to the side of the bed, looking down at his wife with an amused smile on his face.

“You little imp. You promised to wait for me, but after I finished showering, you fell asleep. You really know how to torment me.” He gently caressed her face with a mix of affection and exasperation.

In the end, he helplessly climbed into bed, pulling his sleeping wife into his arms and falling asleep.

The next day, when Li Yiyi woke up, the man lying next to her had already left for work.

After breakfast, she rode her bike to the research institute.

As expected, Ito Jing appeared at the research institute again.

He was still wearing a smile, greeting her cheerfully.

“Comrade Li, good morning. Have you had breakfast? I brought some sushi from our place. Would you like to try?” He said, walking up to her.

Li Yiyi glanced at the delicate lunchbox in his hand but had no appetite.

“Ito Jing, what exactly do you want? Just say it. I don’t have time to beat around the bush with you,” she asked directly.

Ito Jing looked innocent. “Comrade Li, I don’t understand what you’re saying. I came here because I admire your skills. I don’t have any other intentions.”

Li Yiyi didn’t believe his words at all. To her, R-country people were the least trustworthy.

“Enough with the words no one will believe. I don’t have time for idle chit-chat. Just go back wherever you came from,” she said, walking past him towards her lab.

Ito Jing turned around and called out to her back, “Comrade Li, whether you believe me or not, I’ll just say this: I have no ill intentions. I genuinely admire your skills and just want to learn from you.”

Li Yiyi kept walking, her face expressionless, and didn’t respond to him.

She thought that after this encounter, she would never have to see Ito Jing again, but she underestimated his thick skin.
