Lian Jing watched as the two of them walked away.

Ling Xi tugged at his sleeve timidly. After Lian Jing glared at her, she resentfully removed her hand and said persuasively, “President Lian, there are already a few CEOs lining up to see you.”

Lian Jing glanced at the people around him who seemed to be just casually standing there. In fact, they were all secretly glancing at him. A trace of frustration appeared on his brow.

He walked to a seat in the middle and sat down. He swirled the wine in his hand, but showed no intention of drinking it.

When everyone saw this, they knew that Lian Jing was giving them a chance. They immediately picked up their wine glasses and went over to curry favor with him.

!!

Ling Xi felt honored. When she sat beside Lian Jing, she really thought that she would be the future Mrs President. She welcomed everyone with a smile and secretly mocked Shen Yin for not knowing what was good for her.

Her feminine instincts told her that something was going on between President Lian and that woman. But look at that woman’s attitude! She actually dared to oppose President Lian in public and embarrass him. No matter how close they were, President Lian would not tolerate it.

She smugly drank glass after glass of wine on Lian Jing’s behalf. She felt a little dizzy from so much wine and she looked at Lian Jing with misty eyes.

She had never admired his outstanding appearance at such close quarters. She had never seen a person who could make people revolve around him just by sitting there.

And now, she was the only one sitting beside him.

Ling Xi had drunk too much, so she mustered her courage and leaned closer to Lian Jing. Under the guise of being a little drunk, her small hand pitifully grabbed Lian Jing’s wrist. As everyone looked on, she gently leaned her head against Lian Jing’s arm. “President Lian, I’ve drunk too much. Can you send me back?”

Before she could enjoy the warmth of the man’s chest, the person beside her suddenly stood up, causing her to lose her balance and fall onto the chair. Her hairdo came undone and her long hair covered her discomfiture.

“I’ll get Zhong Xin to send you back,” Lian Jing said coldly before walking away. His gaze was sharp as he searched for Shen Yin in the crowd.

At that moment, the emcee on the stage was announcing the amount that had been donated at the charity gala. Zhong Xin had already handed Lian Jing’s donation to the organizers.

If Lian Jing had to do such a small matter himself, then he, the chief secretary, would be useless.

The only thing he wanted to do now was to find the woman, who dared to date someone behind his back, and teach her a lesson.

“President Lian.”

Lian Jing was still wandering around the banquet hall when a waiter suddenly walked over and bowed before addressing him.

He saw Lian Jing stop. The waiter did not expect him to lower himself to respond, so he directly passed on the message word for word. “Just now, a Mr. Cheng asked me to tell you that he has taken away the person you’re looking for as they have important matters to attend to. He asked you not to worry.”

Lian Jing’s entire body emitted a bone-chilling iciness. The waiter hurriedly slipped away after conveying the message.

If Mr. Cheng had not given him such a large tip, he would not have dared to pass such a message to the cold-faced President.

Lian Jing stood rooted to the ground and narrowed his eyes. He took out his phone and made a call. The call was picked up very quickly. Before the other party could speak, he said sternly, “Your mother ran away with someone else. Call her and tell me where she went!”

“Ah? Dad, why would Mom…” Nian Nian was shocked to hear the line go dead. He did not dare to hesitate as he was afraid that his mother would be in danger so late at night, so he hurriedly called Shen Yin.

Shen Yin was sitting in Cheng Huo’s car. She took off the jacket and handed it to him. “I’ll go home first. I’ll return this dress to you next time.”

Cheng Huo took the jacket with one hand and put it on her again. His other hand dangled out of the car window, holding a cigarette. His seductive eyes were half-closed, and his expression was a little melancholic. “It’s late at night. It’s not safe for a girl like you to go back dressed like this. Why don’t I send you back?”

Shen Yin moved back to avoid him, but also felt that her dress was so revealing that it was not very safe. So she was forced to take the jacket and put it on again. “Then I’ll return it to you next time. I can go back myself. There’s no need to trouble you.”

Seeing Shen Yin push open the car door, Cheng Huo reluctantly stubbed out his cigarette and got out of the car to block her way.

Shen Yin took a step back and looked at him in confusion. “Anything else?”

“I…” Cheng Huo looked at Shen Yin worriedly. “I’ll call a taxi for you.”

“No need. Don’t forget, I’m a police officer.” Shen Yin nonchalantly flagged down a passing taxi . After getting into the car, she rolled down the window and waved at Cheng Huo. “I’ll make a move first.”

Cheng Huo could not help chasing after the car. When he saw the car turn a corner and disappear, he stopped and lowered his eyes with a bitter smile.

When had he become so stupid?

He was just teasing her. Was he taking himself too seriously?

Cheng Huo shook his head and got back in the car, smoking silently without moving.

He wanted to see just how much Lian Jing cared about Shen Yin.
