Chapter 51 - 51 The Truth
51 The Truth
“Lian Jing…” Shen Yin burrowed into his arms, gasping for air. A tear glimmered in the corner of her eye, and her small hand curled against his chest. She looked so pitiful, as if she had just been bullied.
Most of Lian Jing’s temper had dissipated but he remained cold and expressionless.
The bodyguards that he had sent out soon gathered back and shook their heads at Lian Jing through the car window. Then, they bowed their heads and prepared to be reprimanded.
However, Lian Jing only frowned and waved them away. He then turned to look at the woman in his arms. “Why didn’t you tell me about Shen Nian?”
Shen Yin looked up in a daze and met his reproachful gaze. The sadness and grief in her heart grew, and her eyes turned red. “Nian Nian is missing. What should I do? I can’t find him…”
Lian Jing patted her back comfortingly. “Don’t worry, I have men searching all over the city. Even if I have to tunnel into the ground, I will return Nian Nian to you safely.”
“How did you know that Nian Nian was lost…” Shen Yin pouted and stubbornly refused to cry in front of him. Unfortunately, what she did not know was that her reddened eyes had already betrayed the weakness that she tried so hard to hide.
Lian Jing looked at her, a little lamb led to the slaughter. He almost could not restrain his baser thoughts. He hurriedly sat further away and maintained a cold expression. He put on an arrogant air and refused to look at her, as if offended.
His dark eyes were like still pools. Only Lian Jing knew what kind of ferocious beast was lurking under the calm water, repressed by him.
However, no matter how he restrained his desire, the woman in front of him could easily break the chains that imprisoned them.
When Lian Jing suddenly grew silent, Shen Yin looked at him in surprise. The latter coughed dryly and cleared his throat. He allowed a mocking look to appear on his face. “Do you think I’m a fool, like you?”
Shen Yin looked at him in confusion. She remembered that when she made the call, he had already arrived at the police station. Her eyes flashed. Had he personally entered the police station to catch her?
“Zheng Ling told you.” Shen Yin sighed. Zheng Ling must have overheard her conversation with Li Zi, but she had been too anxious at that time and had not noticed.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Lian Jing did not want to dwell too much on this unimportant question. He was about to call Zhong Xin to ask how the city-wide search was going when a call came in.
When he saw the caller ID, Lian Jing’s impatient expression instantly disappeared. He picked up the phone and respectfully greeted the person on the line, “Grandpa.”
The Old Master said teasingly, “Little Jing, I heard that you’ve organized a city-wide search to find a child? You don’t have to look anymore. He’s with me. To think that you’re the President. I have a great-grandson but you’ve hidden him from me. Were you afraid that I would not accept him?”
“Grandpa, when did I have a son? Is it that child called Shen Nian?” Lian Jing rubbed his forehead, thinking that he had created too great an uproar and this had caused the old man to misunderstand the situation.
When Shen Yin heard him mention Shen Nian, she immediately became like a cat on a hot tin roof. She stared at the phone in his hand.
The more the Old Master looked at this great-grandson, the more he liked him. Even his usually serious tone softened a lot. “Yes, I’ve already done a paternity test. He’s my biological great-grandson. Nian Nian is so obedient. He looks exactly like you when you were young.”
“I understand, Grandpa. I’ll be right back.”
Lian Jing hung up the phone and a cold light shot out of his eyes. He leaned towards Shen Yin, forcing her to lean against the car door. Then, he raised his hand and pinched her chin. He glared at her and spat out his words, “When did you have sex with me?”
Shen Yin shuddered and recalled that ridiculous one-night stand. She was so shocked that she could not speak.
She had been drugged by Yun Shan and could not remember the man’s face at all. But how could it be Lian Jing? Why would Yun Shan send someone as important as Lian Jing to her bed?
“Someone drugged me six years ago.” Shen Yin’s pale lips trembled as she anxiously grabbed his hand. “Can you bring me to see Nian Nian?”
Shen Yin should have been happy to receive news about Shen Nian, but looking at the man’s ashen face, she suddenly realized that he might not want to have such a son.
She had not realized that she had given birth to Lian Jing’s child. Now that the Lian family had taken Nian Nian away behind her back, did they intend to return her son to her?
At the thought of this possibility, Shen Yin grew so angry that she trembled uncontrollably. A strong sense of uneasiness spread through her heart. She had to see Nian Nian immediately. She could not let others take Nian Nian away from her.
