Chapter 155 - 155 Admit
155 Admit
Shen Yin dragged her chair away a little and said lightly, “She only knows part of it.”
Cheng Huo stopped smiling after Shen Luo left. He looked like he wanted vengeance. “What’s the other part?”
Shen Yin looked at the time on her phone and smiled faintly. “I should be getting home. If I’m late, my son will be worried.”
Cheng Huo’s expression darkened visibly, but Shen Yin met his gaze fearlessly. She stood up, straightened her clothes, and said with a smile, “I’m sorry that I didn’t treat you to a good meal again, but I don’t think I’ll have the chance to treat you to another meal in the future.”
Although she was apologizing, she did not look guilty at all. Instead, she looked like she could not wait for him to let her go.
Cheng Huo’s gloomy expression suddenly cleared up, and he returned to his cheeky self. “How old is your son that he actually worries about you?”
“Six.” Shen Yin’s eyes filled with love at the mention of her son.
Cheng Huo could tell that what she said was true and not a random excuse to reject him.
However, it was too embarrassing for him to flee now. No matter how unacceptable he found the situation, he forced himself to smile so that Shen Yin would not notice that anything was amiss.
He stood up elegantly. His behavior was clearly aloof. “In that case, let’s meet again next time.”
Shen Yin nodded. They both knew that this was just a last decent farewell and there would be no next time.
Cheng Huo suddenly felt very indignant when he saw Shen Yin walk out of the private room without hesitation.
He really wanted to marry this woman. Otherwise, with his status, why would he pester a mere forensic pathologist?
However, she was not interested at all. She did not even feel embarrassed when she told him the truth. Instead, she looked like she was watching a good show.
He was really indignant. He was indignant that he had worked so hard for so long without leaving any impression on her.
Seeing that Shen Yin was about to open the door of the private room, Cheng Huo suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her to his side. Before Shen Yin could react, he tried to kiss her.
The loud ringtone frightened Cheng Huo so much that he stopped what he was doing. Shen Yin hurriedly pushed him away and picked up the call.
“Mom, why aren’t you back yet?” Shen Nian fiddled with the Lego in his hand while smiling and looking at his father who was eavesdropping.
“Nian Nian, Mommy will come back now,” Shen Yin said comfortingly and was about to hang up.
But when Cheng Huo heard the voice on the phone, he suddenly grinned evilly and said, “Uncle will come back with your mother later.”
The other end of the line instantly fell silent.
Shen Yin hurriedly hung up the phone and glared at the gloating Cheng Huo, her eyes filled with anger.
Cheng Huo read her emotions and asked in confusion, “Why are you so angry? You’re already divorced, but your son won’t let you to find a stepfather for him?”
Shen Yin closed her eyes and tried her best to calm her thumping heart.
The moment Cheng Huo spoke, Shen Yin felt a chill run down her spine.
She suddenly thought that Lian Jing might be beside Shen Nian. She grew nervous for no reason and her palms broke out in cold sweat.
Before she could figure out why she felt so guilty, Cheng Huo placed his hand on her forehead and looked at her worriedly. “Are you really angry? I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything just now.”
Shen Yin turned away and bit her lower lip. She tried to calm herself and regain her composure. “I’m fine. I overreacted just now. I’ll take my leave first.”
Shen Yin walked downstairs to pay the bill. From the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw Shen Luo, who was waiting to see her make a fool of herself. She walked over indifferently. “You’ve taken a fancy to the man I brought?”
“So what if I have? Shen Yin, are you worthy of him?” Shen Luo glared at her jealously. Seeing Cheng Huo slowly walk out of the elevator, Shen Luo suddenly shouted, “What nonsense!”
That created a huge stir. The waiters in the lobby all looked over.
When she saw Cheng Huo walking over, she suddenly glared at Shen Yin with tears in her eyes. “Cousin, even if I told your new lover that you were married in the past, you can’t threaten me for telling the truth!”
It was not enough to pretend to speak pitifully. Shen Luo even seized the opportunity to grab Cheng Huo’s hand and complain. When Cheng Huo dodged disdainfully, her eyes filled with resentment. “Cousin, please don’t let the Manager fire me. I won’t say it again. I won’t dare to stop you from finding a rich man again.”
As soon as she said this, the gazes that were focused on Shen Yin turned from respect to disdain.
From her air, they thought that she was the daughter of a rich family. But she turned out to be a divorced woman trying to find a sugar daddy.
The Manager who had scolded Shen Yin just now could not help feeling sorry for Shen Luo. He lowered his eyes to hide his disdain and said to Shen Yin expressionlessly, “Miss, please don’t cause trouble in this restaurant. Please wait for my staff to get off work and resolve your family matters privately.”
