Chapter 276 - 276 Bet
276 Bet
Shen Yin’s hand that was holding the chopsticks paused for a moment. With a flushed face, she looked up at Zheng Ling, who was standing at the door in shock. “You’re back so soon after lunch…”
After hearing Lian Jing’s sweet words, Zheng Ling awkwardly lifted the lunch box in her hand and stuttered, “I, I thought that Boss hadn’t eaten yet, so I came to give you a…”
After saying that, she saw that Shen Yin’s face was getting redder and redder. She immediately reacted and hurriedly said, “Han Xu had a case in the morning. He probably hasn’t eaten yet. I’ll bring him food! Goodbye, Boss! I didn’t hear anything!”
The figure at the door quickly disappeared. Shen Yin sighed softly. Seeing the man on the screen had not blushed at all, she suddenly felt helpless. “Alright, alright, alright. As long as you like it, I’ll eat properly.”
“Yes.” Lian Jing’s heart was in turmoil. He was not used to saying such mushy words in front of others. He turned his face aside but felt that his reaction was cold. He coughed lightly and added, “Yin Yin is very obedient.”
Shen Yin almost coughed up the mouthful of rice she had just swallowed. Save me! When Lian Jing said such sweet words with a straight face, it was too lethal. Besides, he was so handsome. She suddenly could not handle it.
Seeing Lian Jing’s dark expression, Shen Yin hurriedly explained, “I ate too quickly just now and accidentally choked.”
Lian Jing snorted coldly and could not be bothered to argue with her. Coincidentally, Zhong Xin came in with another document, so he ignored her. He lowered his head and focused on his work.
Shen Yin looked at the time and realized that it was still lunchtime. She asked weakly, “Have you eaten? Why aren’t you taking a break?”
Lian Jing did not even bat an eyelid. He looked down at the contract and replied, “I’ve eaten. I’m busy with work today.”
Actually, he was not busy today.
Zhong Xin could not help but sigh inwardly. In order to personally pick up his wife from work, his President had been crazily reducing his rest time.
“No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your health.” Shen Yin glared at him disapprovingly. Then, she instantly thought of herself. She did not eat or sleep when she worked overtime. She choked on her words.
Lian Jing obviously had the same thought. He tore his eyes away from the document and looked over. “So you know such things too. I thought you didn’t know.”
Shen Yin choked on his words and finished the food in her bowl in a few bites. She put down her chopsticks and glared at him. “Whoever works overtime tonight is a dog!”
“Sure.” Lian Jing held back his laughter and nodded in agreement.
Hence, Shen Yin, who suddenly received work that night, could only helplessly look at the message from Lian Jing on the screen: Little Dog, I’m here to pick you up from work.
Shen Yin angrily put away her cell phone and did not reply.
Lian Jing sat in the car and looked at the lights that were still on upstairs. Then, he took out a cigarette from his cigarette box and walked out of the car to light it.
When the cigarette burned out, the lights in Shen Yin’s office went out.
Lian Jing hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt and walked to the entrance of the police station to wait for his wife with a smile.
When she went downstairs, Shen Yin was still conflicted about how to get out of being called a dog. She thought of dragging it out a little longer as vengeance, but the rumbling of her stomach instantly made her reject this idea.
Controlled by her appetite, Shen Yin reluctantly went downstairs and immediately saw a smiling man standing outside the glass door.
He was wearing a suit and his hair was meticulously styled. His eyes were filled with intoxicating gentleness.
Shen Yin suddenly felt less unhappy. She could not help but quicken her pace and walk towards Lian Jing with a smile. “There wasn’t much work just now. I settled it quickly, so you can’t say that I worked overtime.”
Lian Jing smiled. He opened the car door and waited until they were both in the car before rubbing her head dotingly. “Okay, I’ll listen to the little dog.”
“I’m not a dog!” Shen Yin pouted and pushed his hand away, continuing to correct him. “I didn’t work overtime, so the bet doesn’t count.”
“Alright.” Lian Jing nodded and changed the topic. “Then let’s bet if you can guess where I’m bringing you.”
“Where are we going? Aren’t we going home?” Shen Yin turned to look at him in confusion.
Lian Jing stretched out his arm and held her shoulders. He reached out and tapped the tip of her nose. He said calmly, “You’ll know when you get there. But you’ll lose the bet.”
“What will happen if I lose?” Shen Yin blinked and looked at the rapidly retreating scenery outside. The driver in the front row turned a deaf ear to their sweet talk and focused on driving.
Lian Jing’s lips curled up into a devilish smile. Suddenly, he leaned close to her ear and said word by word, “If you lose, you have to let me do whatever I want.”
Seeing that the car had driven in the direction opposite to the Lian residence, Shen Yin hurriedly pushed away his big head that was too close to her. She blushed and started to make wild guesses. “You’re taking me out to eat? Is it that cafeteria near your office last time?”
Lian Jing smiled and shook his head.
Shen Yin frowned and continued to think. “A hotel then?”
