Chapter 1050: Chapter 1010: How Did You Even Have the Nerve to Say That?

After spending such a long time in ancient times, he had deeply understood one truth: if you fall behind, you get beaten, and if you have muscles, you must show them in time. Only by doing so can you make others fear you and not dare to provoke you.

Watching the news and those images on television, Lin Yi glanced at his dad hesitantly before speaking:

"Um, Dad, there’s something I want to discuss with you."

Upon hearing his son’s voice, Lao Lin immediately focused on him. Then he quickly returned his gaze to the TV, saying:

"You little rascal, just say whatever you want directly. Do you really need to twist and turn with your dad?"

In response, Lin Yi gave an awkward smile, then handed his precious daughter over to Xiao Zihan beside him, continuing:

"Hey, it’s just to show some respect, you know. So, I was thinking, right now your work pressure is quite intense. There’s really no need to keep yourself so busy.

You can delegate the group’s matters to others to handle.

You just need to supervise a bit.

You’re not really going to spend all your time on the group, are you?

It’s not worth it.

Besides, I think one or two hours a day is enough to drop by. There’s no need to make yourself so busy.

You see, it’s so late today, and if it weren’t for Mom urging you, would you even be back now? Otherwise, I bet you’d be out until after midnight, right?"

Who would have thought that after saying this, not only did Lao Lin react, but Empress Dowager Ye also couldn’t help but give her son a glare, speaking up in annoyance:

"Look at what you’re saying—is that something a person would say?

What do you mean leave the group unattended?

Such a big group—is it something you can just leave and feel at ease?

Besides, how old is your father anyway? It’s better for him to be worried than not worried. Who told him to have an unfilial son?

Just became a hands-off shopkeeper.

And you’re all over the place every day, not managing the group affairs.

Besides, don’t mention your dad’s workload. Do you know how much work Zihan has every day?

All sorts of matters in the group—can any of them not require Zihan to handle?

You’re the most relaxed in the family, and you still have the nerve to say these things?"

This left Lin Yi dumbfounded. He never expected his mom to say such things now, completely different from when she complained about him giving Dad work earlier.

Especially knowing his mom well, he realized she genuinely meant what she said now.

It also left him very puzzled. He didn’t expect that his mom, like his dad, though she would complain about having too much work, wouldn’t let go of it. Perhaps it’s just their nature.

It’s not just his mom—even Xiao Zihan is like this. Her daily workload is indeed huge.

Unlike his dad, who might manage relatively fewer group affairs and more on the medical side, Xiao Zihan is different. She manages the entire group’s finances.

In fact, not just the finances—ever since Lin Yi stopped managing group affairs, almost all matters, big and small, are handled by Xiao Zihan.

Only occasionally do little things get decided by Li Huiqun and the others.

Lin Yi is aware of this and feels quite helpless about it. He has mentioned it to Xiao Zihan more than once, telling her not to overwork, not to overly concern herself with the group’s affairs all day.

"Hey, right, right, you’re right. I’m the most relaxed.

But I still have to say, the world doesn’t stop spinning without someone. Speaking of which, the group already has a well-established framework. There’s no need to overburden yourself. You can take a day or two off without a problem. Just as I suggested—working two days a week and having five days off is the most reasonable rest."

Unexpectedly, this statement received three eye-rolls, leaving Lin Yi embarrassed. He could only helplessly hug his precious daughter, then giving her a peck on the cheek, muttering with a bit of grievance:

"Hey, my precious daughter is the best. She doesn’t roll her eyes at me."

But who knew, as soon as he kissed the little girl, Xiaoluo Ning immediately started to push Lin Yi’s face away, naturally because his stubbly beard pricked her.

This instantly elicited laughter from everyone, and the whole family couldn’t hold back from laughing, including Lin Yi himself, who couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. He didn’t expect even his precious daughter to be on their side.

In the end, he became the odd one out.

Of course, this kind of family affection, this feeling, still made Lin Yi’s heart feel very comfortable.

And tonight, it was rare for everyone to relax a bit. Otherwise, at this time, usually, Empress Dowager Ye would be watching the kids, Father Lin would be at the company. Including Xiao Zihan, she would also be handling affairs at the group.

They stayed together until after ten o’clock in the evening before everyone headed back to their rooms to rest. As for Xiaoluo Ning?

She was directly carried away by her grandmother.

This act instantly made Xiao Zihan’s pretty face turn red.

Seeing his wife’s look and noticing that Empress Dowager Ye and the others had returned to their rooms, Lin Yi immediately gave Xiao Zihan a princess carry, carrying her in his arms, heading towards the room upstairs.

This move thoroughly embarrassed Xiao Zihan, repeatedly patting Lin Yi’s chest for him to put her down:

"Oh dear, what are you doing? So many people are watching—what does this look like? Quickly put me down, put me down. It’s so embarrassing."

However, facing Xiao Zihan’s light punches and those shy words, Lin Yi just chuckled mischievously: 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Hehe, in my own home, holding my own wife—is there anything to be laughed at? Let’s go, let’s go, it’s getting late, we should rest early."

Saying this, Lin Yi already carried Xiao Zihan to the door, gently nudging it open with his foot, then turning to step inside, locking the door behind him with a click.

Listening to the sound of the door being locked from inside.
