Tang Yin's words made Jang Shin stunned.
Her words made sense. Why he was wasting his time being all gloomy? Tang Yin was right. He doesn't need to make it complicated. There's no waiting. He kept her waiting for a long time. And even if she gives up now, he would woo him again. She loves him much in the past, so there's might be a chance that she could love him again.
He might not be confident in his charms, but he was confident that he could last in her beating.
Seeing that the man was convinced for a moment, Tang Yin waved her hand. "You go. I can handle hosting this party alone."
When Jang Shin heard that he was more tempted. However, he was trusted by Mistress Tang to host the party with Tang Yin. He push down his urge and shook his head.
"I can't do that."
Tang Yin raised her brow, "Do you want to spend this night with me and with these old fogies rather than spend it with my sister? When is your next day off? When can you meet her? After the situation dies down? When will it be? A month from now? A year from now?"
Jang Shin frowned. This is the chaotic times. Unlike the public know, the time after the war with Ming Zhi Yi was the most crucial and dangerous time. So he and Linfeng never let down their guard in case Ming Zhi Yi suddenly counterattack.
It was only today that Jang Shin could attend a party under the order of the Tang Head Master. He cleared up his schedule for the rest of the night for Tang Xinyang. After that, who knows where he could get a break again.
While Ming Zhi YI was still loose to god knows where he would be forever busy.
"Earth to Jang Shin. The guests are coming."
"I'll go to her. Can you make excuses for me?"
"That's easy. I'll just say that you went to my sister to drag her here. Well, of course, you two should not go here. Make sure you choose a good dating place. Actually, just a rooftop with a good view and lovely flowers are enough-"
"Alright." Jang Shin did not even let her finish and ran away.
"Hey, where's my thank you!" Tang Yin looked at the running figure a bit dumbfoundedly. She should write this debt today on her list and make her sister pay for it. And if the two become a couple, she would charge her sister double.
"Why are you shouting so unscrupulously?" A smooth voice made her turn her head at the front.
Lu Yin Ze's silver hair was glistening under the chandelier lights. His white skin and silver-blue eyes were in contrast with his vermillion slim suit. Like a moon combined with the dark red sun, he was an image of an angelic yet devilish prince.
Tang Yin immediately closed her eyes at how blinding he was.
"When did you eclipse?" She blurted out.
"What?" Lu Yin Ze did not understand her jokes.
Lu Yin Ze: "???"
He was still clueless as ever.
Old Lu who was beside Lu Yin Ze interrupted the two nonsensical conversation, "Little Yin, is your grandmother already inside?"
"Head Master Lu." Tang Yin immediately become polite and greeted him amiably.
"Grandma is inside. Let me lead you to your table." For the big heads like Old Lu, Tang Yin would accompany them to their table personally.
Lu Yin Zhe followed them. He looked at Tang Yin up and down. He walked closer to her and commented, "You changed your style."
"Did I pull it off?"
"Not really. You look like a child trying to be an ȧduŀt."
"..."
Lu Yin Ze chuckled instead, "I'm just kidding. You look good."
Lu Yin Ze's light smile and subtle praise made Tang Yin froze.
Did this man...just compliment her?
Goosebumps.
She then observed Lu Yin Ze and felt that this man changed a lot in the past month. She felt that some of his gloominess faded a bit.
She leaned closer to him and whispered, "What happened to you?"
"Huh?"
"You changed a bit. You are somehow a bit spirited than before. Like some of the baggage on your shoulder decreased a lot. You are seeing another woman?"
Lu Yin Ze was stunned at Tang Yin's words. He was silent for a while. He then smiled, "I don't know you have a sharp eye. But the caused is wrong."
Tang Yin was stunned again. The man complimented her twice, "I always have a sharp eye. But don't avoid the topic, what happened to you? If it's not a woman then what's the change for? Why are you praising me all of a sudden?"
Lu Yin Ze had a small smile on his lips. He thought there was nothing wrong with saying the truth to Tang Yin. So he spoke his true thoughts, "Nothing much. It's just that, I am glad the truth finally come out. Even we still haven't found father, the world now knows what he has done. Just a few years ago, I was willing to jump on the building to let the world knows the truth."
Lu Yin Ze's heart was light. Now the truth comes out, the baggage he was carrying since he was a child slowly uplifted. When he saw his brother's letter and the evidence his brother accumulated regarding the research poison, it ignited hope in his heart.
He could not help but think that there's hope for his brother.
After all, with his brother's help, the truth of the poison and its victims came to the light.
There was a realization on Tang Yin's face. She glanced at Old Lu at the side. She whispered, "Then does Head Master Lu knows about your mother..."
"He likely knows of it since the result of the investigation of father's secret research comes out. But he never showed his feeling about it in front of me. So don't mention it to him."
"I won't I won't! I might have a blabbermouth but I don't want to meddle in your business."
"Really? But you kept messing in my business."
"I'm not messing yours. You are just there whenever I involved myself with my Linfeng gege. Anyway, I am glad for you. I hope we can find him soon so he could pay for all his crimes."
Lu Yin Ze nodded with his solemn face. His heart might be light because the truth comes out but he still worries about his father's next move that now they defeated him.
After all, he needs to pay for all his crimes.
