119 Don’t Want to Get Married
A trace of confusion flashed across Lian Jing’s eyes. In the business world, everything was under his control. There were countless women who wanted to throw themselves at him, but no one dared to use marriage as a condition.
Marriage…
Lian Jing had never considered marriage. Otherwise, he would not have gone without a woman by his side for so many years.
He did not think that a so-called legally protected marriage was particularly secure. It was just the icing on the cake when things were good. But when they hated each other, it would become a troublesome shackle.
In his mind, two people could be together as long as they liked each other. There was no mutually binding marriage. If they broke up, they could just walk away.
The long silence completely shattered the romantic atmosphere in the bathroom. Shen Yin, who had been looking down, suddenly smiled and looked up at the stunned man mockingly. “Since you can’t do it, please stay away from me in the future. President Lian, I don’t want the few crumbs you’re willing to scatter in front of me.”
Shen Yin jumped off the vanity counter and walked out without looking back.
Lian Jing hurriedly reached out to hold her back, but Shen Yin pushed his arm away in disgust. She turned around and looked at him coldly. “President Lian, please show some respect. I’m not a woman you can casually bring to your bed. If you want it, you can find someone else to satisfy your physiological needs.”
“You want me to find someone else?” The veins on Lian Jing’s forehead throbbed. Before he could flare up, Shen Yin had already opened the door and walked out of the room, slamming the door shut.
That night, Shen Yin did not return to her empty room. Instead, she quietly walked into her son’s bedroom.
Her heart was empty. If she slept alone, she probably would not be able to sleep the entire night.
Shen Yin walked softly to the bed and realized that her son was nowhere to be seen under the messy bedclothes.
Her heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously thought of the last time her son went missing and was about to panic and go out to look for Shen Nian.
Suddenly, the little fellow opened the bathroom door and walked out with his hair still wet. He narrowed his eyes. “Mommy, are you looking for me?”
Only then did Shen Yin feel relieved. She walked over in amusement and took the towel from her son’s hand. “Why aren’t you drying your hair? Be careful not to catch a cold.”
“Then Mommy, you blow-dry it for me.” Shen Nian wheedled and dragged Shen Yin into the bathroom, stuffing the hairdryer into her hands.
Shen Yin naturally agreed. The mother and son shared a moment as they chatted while she dried his hair.
Shen Nian saw the loneliness in her eyes when she entered, but he was sensible enough not to ask any questions.
No one other than his father could make a strong person like his mother show such a fragile side of herself.
However, the problems between them were not something he could interfere with. He just needed to obediently keep his mother company, dispel her depression, and bring her comfort when she was disappointed.
Moreover, if he spoke rashly, he would probably magnify the small conflict. If his mother really made up her mind to stay away from his father, his dream of a happy and complete family would vanish.
Shen Yin felt much better after talking to Shen Nian.
Actually, she did not insist that Lian Jing provide her with status. She just wanted to see what position she held in Lian Jing’s heart.
Now that the truth was out, she had nothing to worry about.
Even if she really liked him a little, she was a very realistic and conservative person. The small amount of liking she felt was not enough to make her fling all caution to the wind.
She hugged her son and slept soundly. When she woke up the next morning, Shen Yin left the room in a good mood.
When the butler saw Shen Yin coming downstairs, he hurriedly walked over and said mysteriously, “President Lian was very angry this morning. Miss Shen, do you want to do something to coax President Lian?”
Shen Yin waved her hand nonchalantly. “No need. He has his reasons for being angry. It has nothing to do with me.”
She wanted to remove him from her heart bit by bit. She would not care and she would not show that she cared. She would slowly erase whatever bit of love she felt.
The butler was stunned by her indifferent attitude. Then he smiled and brought her breakfast.
After personally sending Shen Yin to the car, the butler wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. His hands trembled. He could not decide how to report to President Lian.
He could not just tell President Lian that Miss Shen did not care about him at all, right?
President Lian would fly into a frenzy of rage.
However, he did not dare to give false intelligence either. If something happened because of him, the butler did not doubt that President Lian would flay him.
After hesitating for a while, he fearfully dialed Zhong Xin’s number and made up his mind to get rid of this thorny problem.
“Hello, Little Zhong.” The butler rubbed his nose awkwardly.
He did not know what was going on between the two of them, so after thinking about it, he decided on a neutral statement for his report. “I’ve already conveyed President Lian’s instructions to Miss Shen. Miss Shen said that President Lian must have his reasons for being angry. It’s not something she can interfere with easily. Why don’t you ask President Lian why he’s angry? I’ll talk to Miss Shen.”
