Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Abdominal Muscle Training

Ever since that heart-to-heart talk between father and son, Ji Tingyang’s attitude towards Xie Changyan had softened considerably.

When he saw Xie Changyan and Lin Xu occasionally stepping out, he no longer tried to stop them as before.

However, when Xie Changyan and Lin Xu held hands, he would still frown and shake Xie Changyan’s hand off, reminding them, “Don’t be touchy-feely in public.”

Xie Changyan glanced at the presidential suite occupied only by the two siblings and raised an eyebrow, “This doesn’t seem like a public place, does it?”

“Lanyue is still here, it might set a bad example for the child,” Ji Tingyang turned to look at Ji Yuqiao.

With her hands cupping her cheeks, Ji Yuqiao’s face blossomed with excitement watching Lin Xu and the others, looking as if she was really into it.

...

Seeing Ji Tingyang prevent Lin Xu and Xie Changyan from being affectionate, the previously delighted face shot him a disapproving glare, “I am not a child.”

After saying that, she cheerfully said to Xie Changyan, “Don’t mind me, go ahead, hold hands more, maybe even give each other kisses.”

Ji Tingyang: “…”

Anxious as if fearing they might actually exchange a kiss, he hurriedly said to Xie Changyan, “Please maintain a distance of at least one…”

He paused, then corrected himself, “No less than ten meters.”

Xie Changyan: “…”

Ji Yuqiao rolled her eyes, “Father, don’t interfere with him, big brother is going crazy again.”

…

After more than a week of summer camp courses for Ji Yuqiao, the family of four had spent a little over a week on a vacation on the island.

When it was time to leave, Lin Xu sat on the airplane, still clinging to the place, “The climate here is so pleasant, warm in winter and cool in summer, I really don’t want to leave.”

“If you like it here, I’ll bring you back for a vacation when I take my next break,” Xie Changyan said with a smile.

Lin Xu: “Okay.”

“Mother, you don’t have to wait for him, I can bring you here for a vacation anytime,” Ji Tingyang quickly added.

Xie Changyan’s head tilted slightly, a teasing look in his eyes, “Is Ji’s work so slack? Is it going bankrupt?”

Ji Tingyang retorted: “That’s your own company, you should manage it yourself, not me.”

Xie Changyan: “That company was meant to be yours anyway, and besides, you have been managing it for so many years that it is already yours.”

“But I don’t want to manage it now, didn’t you say I could put down my burdens and do what I wanted?”

“Oh? Did I say that? I don’t seem to remember.”

“…”A vein on Ji Tingyang’s forehead twitched, and anger seeped into his eyes.

He knew that Xie Changyan was giving him the runaround.

That jerk was not his father!

Ji Tingyang slumped back in the airplane seat, arms crossed in front of his chest, radiating a chilly aura, looking utterly unapproachable.

Lin Xu gave Xie Changyan’s arm a twist, indignantly testifying for Ji Tingyang, “You did say that.”

Xie Changyan seized her hand, his tone carrying a pleading chuckle, “Spare me. Xie’s business is already enough to keep me busy, and to add Ji’s to the mix, I guess I’ll be bound to the company for life.”

“Then, if your son is upset, it’s up to you to soothe him,” Lin Xu turned her head away, acting indifferent.

Xie Changyan smiled helplessly.

After returning from the island, August arrived.

By taking an impromptu week off, Ji Tingyang faced a mountain of work, relentlessly sifting through paperwork in the office every day.

When he got home from work late in the evening, it was already past 10 p.m.

As he entered, he saw Lin Xu and Ji Yuqiao whispering on the couch.

They seemed to be discussing something and quickly hid their cell phones upon realizing Ji Tingyang had returned.

Mysterious and secretive.

“What are you guys looking at?” Ji Tingyang asked in confusion.

“Nothing, nothing at all,” Lin Xu shook her head in a flurry.

Ji Tingyang naturally didn’t believe her and reached out to grab their phones.

“We’re looking at a hunky guy with abs!” Ji Yuqiao announced loudly.

Ji Tingyang’s outstretched hand paused midair.

“College guy, eight-pack abs. It’s got me and mom all spring-hearted. Big brother, do you want to take a look? You might like it too~” Ji Yuqiao’s voice was teasing.

Then she picked up her phone as if to show him.

Ji Tingyang’s face stiffened, and his eyes unnaturally flickered, “Nevermind.”

He withdrew his hand.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, he turned back to look at Lin Xu, as if uneasy, “Those muscle men on the internet are all deceiving; don’t be fooled by them.”

“I know,” Lin Xu laughed.

“If you like that sort of thing, you could have Xie Changyan work out to get one, or…” His voice grew fainter, and his ears flushed red, “I could also work out…”

Lin Xu was taken aback.

The smile on her lips grew even brighter as she covered her mouth, and finally unable to hold it back, she laughed with shaking shoulders.

Hearing her laughter, the blush that started on Ji Tingyang’s ears seemed to spread to his neck and cheeks…

He cleared his throat and, feigning calm, ascended to the second floor, his back looking somewhat flustered.

A few more days passed by.

In the morning, when she was leaving the house, Lin Xu reminded him to come home early as she had something to tell him. So Ji Tingyang didn’t plan to work overtime today.

After work, he got up and headed out.

In the hallway, two employees were whispering to each other.

“I have a friend who recently got hooked on a really popular muscle hunk. Not only is he cold and handsome, but most importantly, he has an eight-pack,” a female employee sighed.

“So what?”

“She’s actually thinking of breaking up with her boyfriend because of this blogger. She says she’s going after true love to be with this blogger.”

“What? Haven’t they been together for many years now? She’s going to break up just over some online blogger whose authenticity is unknown?”

“Yeah, right? And her boyfriend is really good to her.”

Listening to their conversation, Ji Tingyang’s face turned grave in an instant.

Was that muscle hunk the same one that his mother and the others were watching?

Recently, his mother had always been surreptitiously watching that blogger, almost seven to eight hours a day.

Thinking about what the employees said, was that why Lin Xu called him to come back early today, to tell him…?

The mere thought of Lin Xu being deceived by another man, and talking about pursuing some true love, caused a wave of panic in the depths of his chest.

Ji Tingyang immediately made a call to Xie Changyan.

“I’ve sent you a few workout videos. You better start practicing, and get an eight-pack to show mom this week.”

Xie Changyan: “???”

Seemingly not reassured, Ji Tingyang muttered in a low voice, “It might not be enough time this week. Get it done by tomorrow and show her.”

Xie Changyan: “…What are you raving about?”
