“He’s just an emotionless crime-solving machine. Forget about taking care of girls, Boss is simply unfeeling when it comes to girls. He is totally impervious to the opposite sex.” Looking at Ji Yu’s exaggerated expression, Yin Tao asked in disbelief, “Is it as serious as you say?”

“Of course. Do you know how many girls have confessed their feelings to Boss? And do you know how many he has reduced to tears after he rejected them sternly?” Ji Yu still vividly remembered the policewoman Feng Jing transferred out to another branch simply because she confessed her feelings to him.

Ji Yu felt that in Feng Jing’s opinion, rejecting a girl’s confession of love was to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Yin Tao smiled and said to Ji Yu, “That’s because I haven’t confessed to your Captain Feng. Otherwise, he might have rejected me.”

When Ji Yu heard Yin Tao’s words, he seemed to have fallen into deep thought. After a while, he said seriously, “Sister Xiaoyin, I think Boss might not reject you.”

Yin Tao looked at Ji Yu in confusion, not understanding why he had such a baseless idea. “I’m telling the truth. I’ve been with Boss for a while. He really treats you differently.” Yin Tao was slightly stunned. Then, she looked at Ji Yu with a probing gaze. “Xiaoji, are you trying to help your boss find a girlfriend or something? Why are you so talkative today?”

Ji Yu smiled and said in embarrassment, “I’m a chatterbox to begin with. Besides, I really think the two of you are very compatible. Also, Bai Luo and Xia Jin feel the same way. Sister Xiaoyin, do you want to consider it carefully? It’s not unusual for girls to make the first move.”

Yin Tao felt that Ji Yu’s expression was a little nervous and felt that he seemed to have something on his mind, so she continued to probe, “Xiaoji, tell me the truth. Why are you suddenly worried about Captain Feng’s love life?”

“I…” Ji Yu’s stuttering made Yin Tao even more suspicious.

“Hurry up and spit it out. Otherwise, I’ll tell Captain Feng exactly what you said today.” Yin Tao was very good at observing other people’s microexpressions. There was clearly something wrong with Ji Yu’s expression.

“Don’t, Sister Xiaoyin. I’ll tell you, alright?”

Ji Yu tightened his grip on the steering wheel and sighed. “It’s just that many police officers in our bureau are betting on Captain Feng’s love life. Everyone thinks that Captain Feng is going back to the Capital this time to sort this out.”

“Return to the Capital?” Yin Tao was surprised.

Ji Yu nodded and explained to Yin Tao, “Captain Feng has applied for leave from the Bureau. He will return to the Feng family in the Capital early next month. Everyone thinks that once Captain Feng goes home this time, his marriage should be finalized.”

Yin Tao recalled what Feng Ya had said earlier. They planned to gather at the Feng family for Feng Jing’s birthday next month, but Yin Tao felt that no arrangements would be made for Feng Jing’s marriage.

“Are you betting on Captain Feng getting married?” Yin Tao asked.

Ji Yu scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said softly, “It’s not about getting married. It’s about who the fiancee is.”

“Who’s the fiancee?” Yin Tao was very curious about this. “You are not thinking it’s me, are you?”

Coupled with Ji Yu’s words just now, Yin Tao asked him in surprise.

“You’re one of the candidates. Bai Luo, the others and I all think that you’ll be Captain Feng’s fiancee.” Ji Yu’s sincere gaze made Yin Tao not know how to flare up and scold him.

“What about the other candidates?” Yin Tao suppressed her helplessness and pretended to be calm.

“There’s Captain Feng’s rumored girlfriend, Dr. Le, at the police station, and Miss Chen, who wishes to marry into the Feng family…” Ji Yu felt a chill from Yin Tao’s gaze, and his voice became softer and softer.

“You guys have quite a number of candidates, don’t you?” Yin Tao said.

“Sister Xiaoyin, you have the highest number of votes now. We all feel that you and Boss are the most compatible!” Ji Yu seemed to be praising Yin Tao, but he could clearly feel Yin Tao becoming upset.

Yin Tao raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Yu, who was clearly starting to get nervous. She pretended to be serious and said, “Alright, Officer Xiaoji. You guys are knowingly breaking the law by gambling at the police station!”

“We’re not betting with money. The wager is just a meal. Sister Xiaoyin, don’t scare me.” Ji Yu was really a little afraid. It was not a matter of whether he had broken the law. If Yin Tao told Feng Jing about this, everyone would be in trouble.

When Yin Tao saw Ji Yu’s nervous expression, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, let me place a bet too. Otherwise, I’ll tell Captain Feng that you guys aren’t doing your job..”
