121 Seeking Out

Shen Yin felt frustrated when she heard that. “I know.”

With that, she hung up.

Actually, she still did not believe that Lian Jing really had another woman. Although she did not know Lian Jing well, he had told her more than once that he never got involved with other women.

Shen Yin had never doubted this.

It was true that Lian Jing had never been involved in any scandals. He was famous for this in the chaotic business circle.

It was just that he was so lofty that no one could obtain him. Shen Yin was not so narcissistic as to think that she had this ability.

He could not give her the promise that a woman valued the most, so there was no need for her to waste her time and emotions on him.

If she really had such desires, she might as well find an ordinary man and live a peaceful life.

Shen Yin had been wandering abroad for six years. What she cared about the most was a warm and stable home.

She walked back to her office, looked at the piles of paperwork on her desk, and patiently worked on them.

When it was almost time to knock off when Zheng Ling approached her and wanted to treat her to another meal.

They had not had a proper lunch, so she felt bad and wanted to have another meal together.

However, Shen Yin was still thinking about Li Zi. She wanted to pick her up from work at the prosecutor’s office and eat somewhere nearby, so she smiled and rejected their invitation.

As soon as she walked out of the police station, a dark blue Lamborghini blocked her way.

The car window rolled down slowly, revealing Cheng Huo’s seductive eyes. “Miss Shen, would you like to have a meal with me? Don’t tell me you have another appointment today?”

It was true.

Shen Yin wanted to reject him, but she felt that she had to repay him for helping her a few times. She shook her head and got into the passenger seat. “Where are we going to eat? I’ll treat you.”

“Oh, how straightforward.” Cheng Huo smiled and brought her to the National Phoenix Hotel.

Shen Yin looked at the word ‘hotel’ above her head and felt apprehensive. “President Cheng, aren’t we going to have a meal? What are we doing here?”

Cheng Huo narrowed his eyes and pushed her inside with a wicked smile. Seeing her alarmed expression, he raised his eyebrows happily. “Don’t worry, it’s really just a meal. Or do you really want to do something interesting with me?”

“There’s no need, President Cheng. Let’s just eat.” Shen Yin regained her composure and let Cheng Huo lead her to the private room on the second floor.

When Shen Yin saw the exorbitant prices on the menu, she could not help but click her tongue.

How could these simple dishes be so expensive?! However, she had already said that she would treat him to a meal. She was too embarrassed to say that she wanted to change locations, so she braced herself and ordered a few dishes.

Her embarrassed expression looked cute to Cheng Zhenhuo.

He smilingly appreciated her expression, then generously poured her a glass of expensive red wine. “Don’t worry, Miss Shen. How can I let a lady foot the bill? Why don’t you call me Cheng Huo? This meal will be my treat.”

Shen Yin looked at him with uncertainty. It did not seem too forward to call him by his name, so she simply said, “Cheng Huo.”

Cheng Huo took a sip of red wine in satisfaction and smiled and gestured for her to try it. “In that case, I won’t call you Miss Shen. I’ll call you Yin Yin, okay?”

Shen Yin choked as her hairs stood on end. “You’d better call me Shen Yin.”

Cheng Huo lowered his eyes in disappointment, his narrow eyes filled with loneliness.

Shen Yin coughed dryly and found a topic of conversation. “How did you know I worked at the police station?”

Cheng Huo looked at her in amusement. “You’re a forensic pathologist. Is it hard to guess?”

Shen Yin did not believe him. She had only said that she was a forensic pathologist the last time. After thinking about it, she looked at him and said with certainty, “You’ve run an investigation on me.”

Cheng Huo immediately raised his hands in surrender. “I’ll only investigate you once. I will take the time to slowly find out everything else about you in the future.”

Was he preparing to fight a long battle with her?

Shen Yin took a sip of wine and lowered her eyes, refusing to answer him.

A moment later, someone pushed open the door of the private room. She thought that it was the waiter, arriving to serve the dishes, but to her surprise, it was the woman in the red dress from the other day.

Shen Yin uneasily looked at the calm Cheng Huo and quietly nudged his thigh under the table.

Cheng Huo looked over in surprise. The corners of his mouth crooked into a wicked smile as he leaned towards her and whispered, “What’s wrong? Can’t wait?”

Nonsense!

Speechless, Shen Yin tried her best to use her eyes to send him a signal, but he just ignored her. He even casually pulled out a chair for the woman.

She quietly gripped the wine glass in front of her, afraid that this woman would be jealous and then she would end up bathing in red wine again.

However, the woman was still smiling amiably. She watched as Shen Yin and Cheng Huo exchanged glances in front of her without any trace of anger.

Shen Yin stood up awkwardly. “Why don’t I leave first?”

“Why leave?” The woman looked over teasingly. She hugged Cheng Huo’s shoulder and gently leaned her head on his shoulder. Her posture was intimate, and her words were shocking. “I can’t even hug my younger brother?”
