“Brother Lin Jia, thank you.”

It was rare for Yin Tao to see such a serious Lin Jia. He usually acted so carefree. Even when she rejected him previously, Lin Jia was also very calm. Yin Tao couldn’t imagine what would ever make Lin Jia nervous.

“I’m still hoping that you would choose to be with me. After all, you’re the one who made me feel that spending the rest of my life with someone doesn’t seem that scary.”

Yin Tao walked Lin Jia all the way out of the Feng residence. She only turned around and went back after she saw the chauffeur close the car door for Lin Jia. Yin Tao’s thoughts became even more chaotic after her conversation with Lin Jia.

Yin Tao knew that Lin Jia had a good impression of her, but she never expected Lin Jia to say that he would spend the rest of his life with her.

Yin Tao couldn’t find any flaws in Lin Jia. This was also a problem that frustrated her. Yin Tao didn’t know why she didn’t have the urge to get together with a near perfect man like Lin Jia.

“Should I really have a boyfriend…” Yin Tao was deep in thoughts when a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Brother Feng, why did you come out?” Yin Tao was a little nervous when she saw Feng Jing standing in front of her. She wondered if he had heard what she said just now.

“Because I saw that you haven’t returned to your room.” There was no obvious emotion on Feng Jing’s face. “Did you see Lin Jia off?”

Yin Tao nodded and quickened her pace as she walked to Feng Jing’s side.

“Brother Lin Jia seems to be quite busy. He should be back in City A earlier than us.” Yin Tao saw that Feng Jing had no intention of speaking and tugged at the corner of her clothes awkwardly. She casually asked, “Have you finished playing chess with Grandpa? Who won?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Grandpa has lost too many times and is unwilling to play with me.”

Yin Tao was amused by Feng Jing’s serious words. “Brother Feng, can’t you go easy on him a little? Brother Lin Jia even knows to deliberately lose to Grandpa.”

Hearing Yin Tao mention Lin Jia, Feng Jing became a little upset. “I’m not as good as Lin Jia when it comes to pleasing people.”

Yin Tao felt that Feng Jing’s tone was a little strange. “What’s so difficult about that? Brother Feng, you should listen to Grandpa more in the future. I think Grandpa Feng is actually very keen to spend time with you, but the two of you are too blunt.”

“If he had his way, 1 would still be working at the Feng Corporation now. I would have gotten married and had children long ago. I wouldn’t have had the right to choose my own life at all.”

Feng Jing didn’t know why he got upset. However, since he had already said it, it was too late to salvage the situation.

“I’m sorry, Brother Feng. I didn’t mean anything else. I know that you have your own thoughts. I spoke too much.” Yin Tao was shocked by Feng Jing’s reaction. Although she felt a little wronged, she still apologized first.

“I’m not…” Feng Jing felt very uncomfortable when Yin Tao apologized to him. It seemed that he was really inferior to Lin Jia. Even these few words that he said could upset Yin Tao.

“Xiaotao, 1 don’t mean to blame you. Perhaps it has been a hectic day. Let’s go back and rest early.”

Feng Jing slowed down and allowed Yin Tao to keep up with him effortlessly. Seeing that Yin Tao didn’t say anything else, Feng Jing’s heart was already in a mess. He didn’t know if Yin Tao was mad at him.

After returning to her room, Yin Tao said goodnight to Feng Jing and closed the door. In Feng Jing’s opinion, he had really made Yin Tao unhappy. In fact, Yin Tao wasn’t angry with him over something so trivial.

After all, Yin Tao had learned more about Feng Jing’s childhood through her conversation with Lin Jia. In fact, her heart ached for him and she felt helpless. Yin Tao didn’t know how to persuade Feng Jing or how to handle him.

“Forget it. I’ll stay for a few more days. After that I’ll go back to the police station and focus on solving the cases.” Yin Tao got changed and lay on the soft bed. She decided not to think about these troubling matters and quickly fell asleep.

Feng Jing, who was in the other room, wasn’t in as good a state. Because he was worried that his unintentional words had angered Yin Tao, Feng Jing didn’t sleep well that night. The next day, he woke up looking none than better than if he had spent the whole night working on cases at the police station.

“Why are you up so late?” Old Master Feng, who was reading the newspapers on the sofa, saw Feng Jing walking down the stairs and was a little puzzled. “You can’t even sleep well in your own house?”

“It’s not that I woke up late, it’s that I had insomnia.” Feng Jing poured a glass of cold water to wake himself up..
