Chapter 2224: Chapter 2225: Not Delaying Childbearing

“There’s nothing going on,” Ji Qingyan looked back and said.

“Do you have something on your mind?”

“I don’t either, but remember Aunty Wang, my high school classmate? You should have an impression of her.”

Ji Qingyan thought for a moment, and indeed there was a slight impression.

“I know, what about her? She works at the Third Hospital, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes, she’s now the deputy director of the Third Hospital. She said the hospital is having a promotion recently and gave me some free health check-up cards. I figured keeping them would be a waste. It’s perfect for the four of us in the family to go and check our health.”

...

“We should skip it, we’re young and shouldn’t have any health issues. You and dad can go,” Ji Qingyan realized late, “I’ll take the two of you tomorrow.”

“Don’t say that. Your mom and I exercise every day, whereas you young people sit in the office all day and eat takeouts, which is not good for your health. You two have time tomorrow, let’s go together for a thorough check-up. If there’s anything wrong, we can find out and treat it early.”

“Uh… What could possibly be wrong with us?”

“That’s hard to say. Young people these days might actually be in worse shape than us. Let’s go together tomorrow.”

“I won’t go. Health check-ups waste too much time, and the company has things waiting for me to handle.”

“The company won’t fall apart without you. Besides…”

“Aunty, we both had check-ups before, and there’s nothing wrong with our health that could affect having kids, so you don’t have to worry,” Lin Yi said with a laugh, wrapping his arm around Ji Qingyan’s shoulder.

Ji Qingyan: …

“In that case, you don’t need to go. Both of you go to sleep, it’s already past ten, don’t stay up late.”

“Alright, I’m off to sleep then, aiming to move fast so you can hold a grandchild next year.”

“Good, good, good, I’m getting so bored at home. You’re not getting any younger, hurry up and have a child.”

“Don’t worry, I promise to complete the mission.”

Under Song Lan’s urging, the two headed back to their room.

Wishing they could already have a child right then.

Ji Qingyan didn’t feel like talking the whole time, feeling like an idiot.

Her mom’s words were so clear, yet she hadn’t grasped them at all.

Back in the room, Lin Yi expertly took out his own blanket and laid it on the floor.

“Add another blanket tonight; it’s getting colder,” Ji Qingyan said.

“No need, my body can handle it, don’t worry about me. You go ahead and wash up.”

“Oh, okay.”

Ji Qingyan turned and walked out, Lin Yi then checked his phone for the situation in Shianggang, and nothing unusual had happened.

The next day proceeded as normal.

Like usual, Lin Yi picked up Ji Qingyan in the evening, but he prepared to leave after reaching Ji Qingyan’s home, due to his group’s tasks for that night, making it inconvenient to stay.

“You came all this way, why leave? Dinner’s ready,” Song Lan said.

“It’s just that there are some issues at home I need to handle.”

“Then eat dinner, and you two can head back after, or I would have cooked this whole table of dishes for nothing.”

Seeing Song Lan’s enthusiasm, Lin Yi found it hard to refuse, so he followed Ji Qingyan inside.

After dinner, Song Lan didn’t keep Lin Yi longer, knowing he had matters to attend to.

“You shouldn’t just stay at home either, go and live with Lin Yi for the time being.”

“What for, I’m perfectly fine here,” Ji Qingyan was somewhat resistant.

“The only thing you two haven’t done is to get married; there’s no difference between you two and a married couple. You used to live together every day and didn’t want to come back. Why feel embarrassed now? Honestly.”

Song Lan’s attitude was quite firm, not caring about Ji Qingyan’s hesitance and escorted both of them out.

Ji Qingyan had no choice but to get into Lin Yi’s car reluctantly, and they left home together, heading towards Jiuzhou Pavilion.

“Tao Yuan, just drop me off at Tao Yuan’s house, I won’t go with you.”

“It’s not the first time you’ve been there, you shouldn’t be so resistant.”

“I don’t want to interrupt your work, it’s inconvenient for you to have me around.”

“It’s not inconvenient, I’m not trafficking contraband.”

Ji Qingyan stopped talking and followed Lin Yi back to Jiuzhou Pavilion.

Once back home, she busied herself with tidying up the house.

Looking at the cigarette butts in the ashtray, Ji Qingyan wanted to say something, but couldn’t find the right words.

Lin Yi didn’t seem to notice, helping her clean as if nothing was amiss.

Shianggang.

Happy Valley is located in the central-southern part of Shianggang, where the first racecourse was established.

For Shianggang people who love horse racing, this is a must-visit place.

The racecourse is surrounded by towering buildings, giving a feeling of being enveloped by mountains.

Despite the vast space, it felt oppressive.

It couldn’t be helped; due to the high cost of land in Shianggang, no space could be wasted.

This made the place feel crowded, even suffocating.

Zhong Hai had never elicited such a feeling before.

The races would start at 8:30 PM.

However, around 7 o’clock, visitors were already allowed in.

There were other facilities inside open to visitors, used to generate additional income.

But during the day, Sui Qiang, Xiao Bing, Luo Qi, Zhao Yunhu, and Shao Yunfeng had already infiltrated the venue, thoroughly familiarizing themselves with the area.

They needed to ensure the operation was flawless.

At around 7 PM, visitors steadily streamed into the venue.

While horse races were held every week, the events were always packed.

This showed just how passionate Shianggang people were about horse racing.

Simultaneously, Yu Siying and Zhang Chaoyue, also blended into the crowd, entered the venue like any other visitors.

To facilitate their movements, Yu Siying and Zhang Chaoyue had changed into casual clothes and slightly altered their makeup, pretending to be a couple, and followed the crowd to their designated seats.

Their designated seats were 14-36 and 14-37.

According to information from Ma Dehong, these two seats were where the transaction would take place.

“Brother Qiang, how are things on your side?” Zhang Chaoyue asked through a mini walkie-talkie after reaching their spot.

“All normal.”

“Received, keep observing.”

After responding, Zhang Chaoyue turned off the walkie-talkie.

“Sister Ying, Lin Bro paired us up, do you think he did it on purpose?”

“What do you mean ‘on purpose’?”

“He probably paired us up intentionally,” Zhang Chaoyue said, cheekily adding, “I guess Lin Bro also noticed we look like a married couple, that’s why he grouped us to blend in as lovers.”

“Don’t overthink it, I’m not interested in a ‘little brother’ like you. Focus on your work; tonight’s mission is crucial, if anything goes wrong, the team’s reputation is at stake.”
