章 20: Flutter
編集者: Atlas Studios
"Shen Yin, if I, Lian Jing, want something, no one can refuse me." His gaze rested quietly on Shen Yin's brow.
Whether this woman was frowning or giving him a fake smile, she could easily stir up his emotions. His eyes unconsciously follow her beautiful face.
Lian Jing had no interest in romance. After so many years in business, he had seen all kinds of beautiful women. For some reason, only this woman had caught his eye.
Lian Jing attributed this abnormality to the inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He looked down at his wristwatch and frowned. From the corner of his eye, he saw a window on the third floor of the police station open. A figure flashed past.
"It's getting late. I'll take you to lunch." Lian Jing pulled open the car door and made a welcoming gesture.
He saw her resistance and did not know whether to laugh or cry. He really did not know why this woman was so set against him. Could it be because he had forced a kiss on her last time?
Thinking of that wonderful kiss, Lian Jing's heart softened. He looked at Shen Yin in amusement. "It's just a meal. Take it as repayment for saving my grandfather's life. If you don't allow me to repay this favor, I'll come and pester you again."
Shen Yin was momentarily rendered speechless by his roguish behavior. "I have to work. Maybe tonight."
"Sure." He got into the car and slammed the door shut. "I'll see you tonight, then."
Shen Yin ignored him and went straight into the lobby of the police station.
The policemen watching from behind the door quickly shrank back and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Meng Heng was at the windowsill. He clenched his fists slightly and heaved a long sigh of relief.
Zou Sheng patted him on the shoulder and raised his eyebrows at the two people downstairs. "Brother, do you really like her?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Meng Heng shrugged and avoided his hand. He was extremely flustered. "I just saw that he seemed important and was worried that he would take advantage of Sister Shen."
"Hey, I don't think it's so easy to take advantage of Dr. Shen." Zou Sheng returned to his placed and called Meng Heng to sit down. He took out a box of pork chop with rice from the bag on the table and handed it to him. "Don't fret, eat your food."
Meng Heng sat down unhappily and ate a piece of pork chop without tasting it. His eyes subconsciously glanced at the door.
Zou Sheng looked unsurprised. He lowered his head and focused on his food.
When Shen Yin entered, Meng Heng was looking at the door in a daze. When he saw her, he immediately leapt to his feet. Then he realized that he had overreacted and clumsily tried to cover up by hurriedly pushed the remaining box of rice in front of her. "Sister, let's eat. It's getting cold."
"Thank you." Shen Yin glanced around the office. "Why are you two alone? Where are Captain Wu and Bai Xiao? Wasn't he the one who bought lunch?"
"They went out after they finished eating. Let's eat our food. Don't worry about them." Zou Sheng pointed to the empty seat beside Meng Heng. "Dr. Shen, sit there and so I can sit face to face with a beautiful woman while I eat. Aiya, our lunch today is unusually delicious, right, Meng Heng?"
He pointedly nudged the nervous man beside him.
Meng Heng glared at him, then smiled shyly at Shen Yin. "Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. You can sit anywhere you want."
"I'll sit here then." Shen Yin's faint smile never slipped. It was rare to meet such easy-going colleagues, so Shen Yin was happy to spend more time with them.
Meng Heng's breathing grew erratic the moment Shen Yin sat beside him. He was so nervous that he lost his appetite. His eyes were fixed on the lunch box, and the tips of his ears grew redder and redder. This meal had completely flustered him.
But Shen Yin was not thinking of all these. She sat there and took small bites of her lunch, wondering what Nian Nian was up to.
It was rare for the police station to be so empty in the afternoon. In the office, Shen Yin listened to Zheng Ling and the others gossip about Yun Shan. Only then did she find out that Yun Shan had been doing well in China over the past few years. She had smoothly ascended the ladder and become an A-list female celebrity.
Time flew as they gossiped with increasing intensity. Shen Yin got up and looked downstairs. Sure enough, she saw the garish Maserati.
"I have to go." Shen Yin picked up her bag and went downstairs. Lian Jing had been waiting for her for a long time. When he saw her, he even thoughtfully got out of the car and opened the door for her.
Before he left, he glanced thoughtfully at the third-floor spot and drove off nonchalantly.
Upstairs, Meng Heng's face darkened as he clenched his fists.
As he saw Shen Yin leave with someone else, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly, and his eyes shone with a cold light. "Sister, you're so naughty."
