“No, he asked me to bring you there. Besides, you have to stand with him today. Otherwise, all my effort preparing your outfit would be for nothing…”

Hearing Feng Ya’s soft mutter, Yin Tao suddenly had a bad feeling. She had suspected that Feng Ya was hiding something from her. Indeed, after seeing Feng Jing, Yin Tao understood the meaning behind Feng Ya’s words.

“Xiaotao.” Feng Jing didn’t expect Yin Tao to dress up so meticulously. He was struck by her beauty. However, what was even more eye-catching was their outfits.

“That’s great. I specially got my friend to design it. You can’t find the same design in the entire country. The two of you look especially compatible.”

Feng Ya looked at Feng Jing and Yin Tao’s outfits with satisfaction. They had the same color scheme. Anyone could tell that their outfits had been specially designed. It was obvious that they were a matching couple.

“Auntie, isn’t it strange for us to be dressed like this?” Yin Tao looked awkwardly at their matching outfits. She felt that if the two of them walked out like this, they would definitely be misunderstood.

“What’s so strange about it? I didn’t prepare any other outfits. The two of you can wear this.” After saying that, Feng Ya chuckled and walked away, leaving Yin Tao behind with a worried expression.

“Brother Feng, I didn’t know that Auntie would do this.” Yin Tao looked at Feng Jing helplessly.

“It’s fine. People do wear matching outfits at such a banquet. You don’t have to be too concerned.” Feng Jing comforted Yin Tao. Although he knew that he would inevitably be misunderstood later, there was no better solution at the moment. Moreover, he would rather be mistaken as a couple with Yin Tao than to be forced to go on blind dates.

“Lin Jia and Jin Chen are also coming over. I’ll bring you to greet them.” Feng Jing actually didn’t like such occasions. However, the banquet was arranged by his grandfather after all. Feng Jing couldn’t go overboard.

Yin Tao obediently followed behind Feng Jing. Along the way, Yin Tao felt many probing gazes.

“Little Sister Xiaotao, I just heard from Feng Jing that you have also taken a leave of absence. If I had known earlier, I would have returned to the capital with you.” When Lin Jia saw Yin Tao behind Feng Jing, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes and his tone was exceptionally enthusiastic.

“Lin Jia, I think you’ve been too lax recently.” Feng Jing looked at the smiling Lin Jia and couldn’t help but say, “If you’re so free, help me run more errands and collate more information.”

“Brother, I’m not a police officer. Why should I be ordered around by you all day long?” Lin Jia looked at Feng Jing and felt that his tone today was obviously unfriendly.

“Brother Feng, if you have any instructions, I can help you run errands.” Seeing that Lin Jia and Feng Jing didn’t reply, Jin Chen couldn’t help but interrupt.

“Forget it. I trust Lin Jia in running errands.”

Feng Jing ignored Jin Chen, who was standing at the side. He was not particularly familiar with him in the past. If not for the fact that the Jin family and the Feng family had some business dealings, he wouldn’t have invited Jin Chen to the birthday banquet.

“Alright, it’s not necessarily a good thing to be trusted by you. Otherwise, Sister Xiaotao wouldn’t have to run around with you all day long.”

Lin Jia knew that Feng Jing would bring Yin Tao along when he was investigating cases. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, they were both working in the police station after all, so Lin Jia couldn’t say anything

Jin Chen looked at Yin Tao’s beautiful face. Although he really wanted to talk to her, he was a little afraid at the thought of her profession.

Initially, Jin Chen had the intention to pursue Yin Tao, but after knowing her true profession, he dropped the idea. After all, a girl who could deal with corpses every day wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

However, Yin Tao’s appearance and temperament were indeed outstanding. Jin Chen couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at her.

“Xiaotao, I’ll bring you to rest for a while. There are too many people here. You might not feel comfortable.” Feng Jing also noticed Jin Chen and Lin Jia’s gazes. He held Yin Tao gently by her wrist, wanting to bring her to find a quiet place to rest for a while. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’m fine, Brother Feng.” Yin Tao waved her hand, not wanting to cause trouble for Feng Jing.

“Feng Jing, you still have many guests over there. Go ahead and do what you have to do. We will take care of Sister Xiaotao.”

Before Lin Jia could finish speaking, he felt Feng Jing looking at him coldly. He continued a little diffidently, “We’re more familiar with Sister Xiaotao. You can rest assured..”
