Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Lu Jinyang, I’m really starting to like you more and more

What an overconfident woman!

Si Nanchen masked the disgust in his eyes, saying indifferently: "If someone who didn’t know any better heard you, they might think we were quite familiar with each other."

Tan Biyang’s complexion soured a bit as she forced a stiff smile, "Familiarity comes with time."

Si Nanchen: "..."

Tan Biyang clenched her teeth and continued: "Master Si, it’s just one thing. Do you want to cooperate with me or not? If you don’t, let’s not waste each other’s time anymore."

"Is this your attitude when asking for a favor?" Si Nanchen raised an eyebrow, to ask for help one should at least look the part, what was this?

"No, you got it wrong, I’m not begging you, we are just mutually benefiting."

"Oh?"

At this moment, Tan Biyang realized, Si Nanchen had no intention of cooperating with her at all. Her red lips curved, "Since that’s the case, I won’t disturb Master Si any further."

After saying that, Tan Biyang left on her sky-high heels.

After her departure, Si Nanchen sneered towards the direction of the main entrance, this woman was beyond foolish.

She recklessly came here to declare her stance without even inquiring about all his affairs; him not dealing with her was already giving her face.

Jinxiu Garden

Zhuang Shuqing sat restlessly, eyeing the tightly shut bedroom door.

Upon arriving home, Lu Jinyang had immediately retreated to his room, closing the door behind him, and he had yet to emerge.

Just as Zhuang Shuqing was contemplating whether to go check on him, the bedroom door opened, and Lu Jinyang, dressed in a set of home wear, stepped out, prompting her to breathe a sigh of relief.

Noticing her anxiety, Lu Jinyang sat beside her and asked, "Still worried, huh?"

"Mhm."

"Didn’t I tell you it’s all settled?"

Zhuang Shuqing sat up straight, looking at him earnestly, "Lu Jinyang, tell me the truth. Was my case suppressed by your influence, or did they really find evidence?"

"Isn’t the outcome the same either way?"

Zhuang Shuqing: "..."

How could it be the same?

If it were the former, it meant she was still a suspect, but the latter would prove her innocence.

She took a deep breath, "It’s different; I want my name cleared." She didn’t want such a stain on her life.

Lu Jinyang said nothing. His large hand caressed her hair, and after a long while, he spoke, "The evidence has been found; I’ve applied to have the autopsy reexamined."

Zhuang Shuqing’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you saying that the person might not have been killed by me?"

"Mhm. Since the surveillance footage can be faked, it shows that those people were premeditated. Such a collision definitely wouldn’t kill a person..."

"So you suspect they tampered with the victim?"

Lu Jinyang nodded with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Not too slow on the uptake."

Even though it was a jab at her, Zhuang Shuqing suddenly felt happy.

She laughed joyously, then turned and threw herself onto Lu Jinyang, hugging him tightly without regard for his stiffness and nuzzling against his neck, "Lu Jinyang, I’m really starting to like you even more."

The mentioned man’s eyes narrowed at her words, "Is that so? I can’t quite feel your affection."

Zhuang Shuqing, caught up in her excitement, paused, confused, "I’m this happy, yet you can’t feel it?"

"Correct."

"... Then what should I do for you to feel my affection for you?"

The man then pulled her from his embrace, his large hand cradling the back of her head, and kissed her swiftly.

Zhuang Shuqing was caught off guard by the kiss, but, uniquely, she did not push him away. Instead, she slowly closed her eyes, gradually responding to his fervor.
