He is Forbidden - Chapter Twenty-Seven: It Was Too Late to Begin

Today marks the 20th day since Ji Youan "ran away from home".
Ji Qi hadn't expected that when he said it would be two days, he suddenly added an extra zero. If it weren't for the fact that he would send him a voice message every now and then to let him know that he wasn't missing, Ji Qi would have called the police.
She never imagined that after that taboo was broken, even just not seeing Ji Youan for a day would drive her crazy with the emptiness of the house.
With Ji Youan at home, Ji Qi's daily life began to deteriorate at a visible rate.
Takeout and instant noodles have returned to her life, along with an even more frantic overtime schedule.
"Ji Qi, why are your dark circles so bad?" Cheng Ningyue touched her forehead. "Did you get dumped by that guy you slept with before?"
"Quarrel."
What time did you go to bed last night?
Five o'clock.
"Morning? Are you crazy?!"
"Five o'clock?" Yan Mu, who suddenly appeared, reached out and touched Ji Qi's forehead. "There's not much work that requires overtime lately. Even if you're worried about your brother running away from home, you can't risk your life."
"Attorney Xu gave me a few more small intellectual property cases." Ji Qi took out a stack of documents from his bag.
While calmly organizing her documents, she muttered to herself, "I have to meet a client tomorrow, and a case goes to court the day after. I'll get a good night's sleep tonight."
"Go to sleep right now." Yan Mu forcefully snatched the documents from Ji Qi's hand and pulled her towards his office. "It seems I need to have a serious talk with Attorney Xu. No matter what, Ji Qi, you're still one of my people. What was she thinking, bypassing me and assigning you so much work?"
"I don't want to sleep." Ji Qi tried hard to pull his hand away from Yan Mu's hand.
"obedient."
Pressed down onto the soft sofa, Ji Qi stared wide-eyed as Yan Mu pulled a blanket out of the closet for her. Unable to accept his kindness with a clear conscience, she said in a low voice, "Yan Mu, I have someone I like."
"I know." Yan Mu covered her with the blanket. "How deep is it?"
A long silence followed.
Ji Qi said in a sighing voice, "Only him."
With a darkening look in his eyes, Yan Mu patted Ji Qi's head like an elder, without giving a direct answer: "You should rest well. I'll call you when it's time for lunch."
The company's smoking area was filled with swirling smoke, which stung Yan Mu's eyes and also made Cheng Ningle's eyes hurt.
"Has Boss Yan broken up with someone again?" Cheng Ningyue waved away the cigarette beside her, raised an eyebrow, and sat down next to Yan Mu. "Our Ji Qi is such a ruthless woman."
Do you remember what it was like when Ji Qi first joined the company?
It took Cheng Ningyue quite a while to hear Yan Mu's slightly hoarse voice.
"I think I probably still remember."
"At that time, I thought, this newcomer is really good-looking. Plus, Lawyer Xu had told me beforehand, so I felt that she was probably a nepotism hire with no real ability."
"I think you have a prejudice against pretty women, boss."
"Haha." Yan Mu laughed and continued, "Who would have thought this newcomer would be so ruthless to herself? She clearly doesn't like this industry, but she works harder than anyone else. They say that men who work hard are the most attractive, and the same goes for women. Ning Le, if you could be a little more serious about your work, maybe a lot of people would be pursuing you."
"Thank you, but I don't need it." Cheng Ningyue refused Yan Mu without any emotion. "Even with this kind of work intensity, my husband wants me to quit my job and stay home as a full-time housewife."
"I originally wanted to take it slow..."
Patting her boss on the shoulder, Cheng Ningyue comforted her, "It doesn't matter to Ji Qi whether it's faster or slower. Her heart is already tied to a certain man. I thought that if you put in a little more effort, you might be able to squeeze out that man you've never even met."
Yan Mu, comforted by Cheng Ningle, could only manage a wry smile: "How come I didn't even notice?"
"She's such a good actress. I've noticed that when she's feeling down, she'll secretly hide away and look at a picture of a man. She'll even start to smile while looking at it, a really gentle smile, the kind of smile she's never shown to me."
"Was I already too late from the start?"
"perhaps."
In terms of who came first, Yan Mu knew he had lost, lost from the very beginning, but he didn't want to admit defeat if the facts matched his guess.
