Lian Jing looked down at the document bag on the table and nodded slightly. “Yes, I want to marry her.”
Old Master Lian sighed. His tone was dignified and cold, the same tone he used when he was in charge of the Lian family in the past. “Have you thought it through? Every girl in this dossier can help you. They are far superior to Shen Yin in any aspect, whether it is status, family background or looks. Marrying any of them will be very beneficial to you. It will be far better than marrying a forensic pathologist with no family background.”
“I know.” Lian Jing’s cold eyes suddenly glanced over. A closer look revealed the unshakable determination in them. “I’ve made up my mind.”
At the entrance, Shen Yin had just entered the house when she heard this sentence. She looked up, puzzled, and met Old Master Lian’s uncertain expression.
She had never seen Old Master Lian looking like that. Her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously assumed that Lian Jing had angered Old Master Lian. She hurriedly sat beside him and coaxed, “Grandpa, did Lian Jing do something to make you unhappy?
Old Master Lian deliberately pulled a long face and cast an amused look at his grandson sitting opposite him. He nodded solemnly and said, “Yes, it’s him. He’s so disobedient- Help me teach him a lesson.”
“Lian Jing!” As expected, Shen Yin obediently glared at him. She frowned and looked at Lian Jing disapprovingly. “Grandpa is old. Even if you have different opinions, you must not make Grandpa angry like this. You know that Grandpa is in poor health.”
Lian Jing’s expression darkened.
Did this little ingrate know what she was talking about? He had been protecting her position in this family, but here she was, indiscriminately scolding him. His expression immediately turned cold. He glanced at her pile of shopping bags and snorted sarcastically. “You made Grandpa wait for you to eat. Is that good for Grandpa’s health?”
“Didn’t I tell you to tell Grandpa that I’ll be home late tonight?” Shen Yin glared at him unhappily, not understanding why he was picking a fight today. However, when she thought of what Lian’e said yesterday, Shen Yin felt uncertain.
Perhaps Lian Jing also felt that she did not pay enough attention to her attire and was an embarrassment to him?
Despite much thought, Shen Yin still could not figure it out. However, she caught sight of the document bag on the table. She thought that it was an important work document, so she did not ask to take a look. She helped Old Master Lian up and walked into the dining room. “Grandpa, it’s already so late and you haven’t eaten yet. You must be starving. Why didn’t you eat first? Your health is the most important.”
Old Master Lian patted her hand in amusement and said, “Don’t listen to Lian
Jing’s nonsense. I ate something in the afternoon and I’m not very hungry yet. You don’t have to feel burdened. Just do your own thing.”
Only then did Shen Yin relax. She cast a vicious look at Lian Jing, then coaxed the Old Master to finish dinner before returning to her room with the new clothes.
As expected, as soon as she pushed open the door, she saw the man sitting behind the coffee table and elegantly sipping his tea. She subconsciously rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to walk around him and put her things into the closet, she heard a low and sinister male voice suddenly say from behind, “What did you buy?”
“Just some clothes.” Shen Yin looked at him in confusion. She thought that this man was acting very strangely.
First, he hung up on her after speaking to her harshly. Then, he had mocked and ridiculed her in the living room. Until now, he had yet to smile at her.
Shen Yin could not help but feel a little aggrieved. She had not done anything wrong, but because of Lian’e’s words, she had chosen some branded clothes in different styles. Not only had this cost her a few months’ salary, her legs were aching from all that walking.
On the other hand, this man was sprawled on the sofa, showing no concern for her at all. Instead, he kept pulling a long face.
Lian Jing could hear the impatience in her words. He frowned slightly and walked behind her. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. When he saw the clothes in her hands that were clearly not her style, his warm breath landed on her neck. “Why did you suddenly buy clothes? Who are you meeting?”
Shen Yin pursed her lips speechlessly and braced herself with her arms. She could not break free from the man who was clinging onto her and she gave up the struggle. “I want to wear them. Is that a problem?”
“Alright.” Lian Jing held her shoulders and turned her around. He ordered domineeringly, “Then wear them for me to see.”
“No.” Shen Yin crisply refused.
She was so tired that her bones were about to fall apart. She certainly had no energy to change her clothes so many times for him. Anyway, she was going to wear them in the future. He could see them then.
However, Lian Jing did not agree. He pinched her chin and grabbed the dress that she was about to hang in the closet. He said threateningly, “Be good and wear it for me to see. You can charge all these things to me..”
