After matters at the hospital were settled, Lian Jing personally drove to pick up Shen Yin.
Through the courtyard wall, he could hear the happy laughter inside, and the gloominess in his heart dissipated.
Lian Meng was flying a kite near the door. When she saw him, she immediately shouted, âSister-in-law! Come out and see whoâs here!â
At that moment, Shen Yin was reading a dossier in her room. She had applied for leave so she could spend time with Nian Nian. However, there were still some work matters that she could not ignore, so she was still dealing with some difficult cases while she relaxed here.
Shen Yinâs heart skipped a beat when she heard Lian Mengâs rowdy shouting.
She hurriedly put down the file and ran out. The moment she saw Lian Jing, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat and tears almost flowed down her face.
Lian Meng looked at the two of them, who had missed each other for a long time. She pulled Shen Nian to another courtyard to play, giving them some space to be alone.
The courtyard fell silent, and only the chirping of magpies could be heard.
Lian Jing suddenly smiled and walked towards the woman he had been thinking about day and night. He did not say a word, and yet he seemed to say everything.
He walked over to Shen Yin and gently opened his arms with a faint smile on his face.
Shen Yin sniffled and flung himself into his arms, her eyes red. She willfully rubbed her tears and snot on him.
Lian Jing patted her head helplessly and coaxed her softly. âThis suit is custom-made. Itâs very expensive.â
Shen Yin smiled through her tears and pinched his waist reproachfully. She said fearlessly, âAnyway, I have plenty of money now. Iâll just buy you another suit.â
âAlright, alright, alright. In the end, one always has to pay a price. Iâll accept my fate, alright?â He held Shen Yinâs face and his gaze traveled from her forehead to every part of her face, as if he wanted to compensate for not seeing her over the past few days. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just as Shen Yin thought that he was going to kiss her, she suddenly saw Lian Jingâs lips curl maliciously. âYouâve gained weight. Looks like youâre enjoying life here. Donât tell me youâre so happy that youâve forgotten about home?â
âThatâs right, thatâs right.â Shen Yin deliberately raised her head to provoke him. âI donât have to wake up early to work every day, I donât have to cook, and
I donât have to worry about anything. I just eat, drink, and play every day. Itâs really wonderful. â
âIs that so?â Lian Jing looked at her with a faint smile. âHow many more days do you want to stay? I can help you resign from the police force.â
âNo way!â Shen Yin felt as if someone had hit her weak spot!
It was very comfortable idling about every day, but work was her lifelong pursuit!
Lian Jing looked at her in amusement. He tugged her hand and sat on a stone bench. The place was quiet and there were no servants about, so he personally made tea for her. âFu Tingâs matter has been settled. Iâm here to bring you back.â
Shen Yin frowned and thought of the case file she had just seen. She said solemnly, âThis matter was handed over to my team and Iâve heard a little about it. I didnât expect Fu Ting to sell medical equipment to an organ trafficking ring. Who knows how many people he has harmed by doing this!â
Lian Jing placed the teacup in front of her and gestured for her to calm down. Then, he said slowly, âA large portion of his companyâs deficit wasnât just from buving these machines. MV Deonle found out that he was been gambling. No matter how much he earned from these methods, he spent it all gambling.â
âNo wonder heâs so anxious to get money!â Shen Yin still could not understand why a fine young man from an aristocratic family would do so many crazy things for money. âDoes Grandpa know about these things?â
Lian Jingâs hand that was holding the teacup paused slightly. He said in a low voice, âHe does. Grandpa is in hospital. I came to pick you up because I want to bring you to the hospital to see him.â
âAlright! Iâll get Nian Nian to pack up now. Letâs go see Grandpa together!â Shen Yinâs impatiently decided to leave right away.
However, Lian Jing suddenly reached out and grabbed her. âI have something to discuss with you.â
âGo ahead.â Shen Yin sat back down and looked at him curiously.
Lian Jing pursed his lips nervously and hesitated for a moment before saying slowly, âI canât wait anymore. If something happens to Fu Ting, Lianâe and Fu Xiao will definitely come back. I donât want any more trouble. I want to publicly acknowledge you and Nian Nian immediately.â
âYouâ¦â Shen Yin was not expecting this. Her eyes widened in shock, and her mind was in a daze. âWhat do you mean?â
Lian Jingâs dark eyes stared straight at her, and his grip on her hand tightened slightly. âWhat I want to say is that I want to let people know as soon as possible that you are my wife and the only mistress of the Lian family.â
âI want to marry you.â
Shen Yin looked up at him in a daze and saw the man opposite her suddenly get on one knee. With a sincere expression, he held out the ring that he had been nervously holding for a long time. âIâve thought about it carefully. The ring I gave you last time doesnât count, so I want to propose to you properly this time.. â
