Chapter 265: Greed

Feng Jing slowly sat up on the bed. Under the light of the night lamp, he could see Yin Tao’s face clearly. She appeared to be in her early twenties, but she was exceptionally calm and reliable in the way she handled things.

Feng Jing felt that Yin Tao was a little similar to him sometimes. She was unwilling to trouble others and only wanted to solve things herself when she encountered problems. Feng Jing understood that being strong and independent meant that people like them tend to feel lonelier deep inside.

Other than Yin Hao, no one in Yin Tao’s family seemed to be able to understand her. Feng Jing’s family was the same, they couldn’t understand his decision to be a detective.

In the eyes of Feng Jing’s family, being able to live a peaceful life was their greatest aspiration for Feng Jing. Therefore, they didn’t understand and couldn’t support his choice of putting his life on the line.

Feng Jing felt that Yin Tao, whom he had known for less than a year, understood his feelings better than his family whom he had known for many years. Feng Jing suddenly felt a little greedy. If Yin Tao was really willing to stay by his side, would his life become blissful?

However, Feng Jing didn’t dare to pursue Yin Tao. It was not because he was afraid of being rejected, but he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to give Yin Tao a stable and happy life after she accepted him.

Feng Jing had always been working hard to catch the murderer of his brother. If his life was really in danger one day, he would neither hesitate nor have any regrets. However, if he really got together with Yin Tao, he would definitely not be as carefree as he was now.

Therefore, Feng Jing didn’t dare to take a gamble on other people’s fate. He didn’t want to have another person to mourn him should he really be in danger.

Feng Jing walked to the sofa and saw that Yin Tao was sleeping soundly. He gently reached out and picked her up. Then, he slowly placed her back on the bed and carefully covered her with the blanket.

Looking at Yin Tao’s fair face, this was the first time Feng Jing yearned so badly to catch the murderer of the kidnapping case as soon as possible.

Feng Jing looked at the sleeping Yin Tao and lowered his head as he muttered, “Xiaotao, if only you could give me a little more time…

After walking out of the bedroom, Feng Jing returned to the sofa in the hall with his coat.

Yin Tao slept very well that night. Perhaps it was because Feng Jing was a police officer, Yin Tao felt very safe in his bedroom.

Yin Tao was woken up by the alarm clock she had set the night before. She fumbled around and wanted to turn off the alarm on her cell phone, but she couldn’t find her phone no matter what.

She opened her eyes in a daze. The phone that she had placed by her pillow last night was now on the small sofa far away from her.

Yin Tao sat up from the bed in a daze. Just as she was about to get off the bed to get her cell phone, she suddenly woke up.

‘Why am I on the bed?” After Yin Tao realized that she was lying on Feng Jing’s bed, she hurriedly looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that Feng Jing wasn’t around.

She walked down and turned off the alarm clock. Yin Tao tried her best to recall, but she realized that she couldn’t remember how she got into the bed.

“Could it be that I was sleepwalking?” Yin Tao muttered softly. “Could it be that I climbed onto the bed myself and scared Brother Feng away?”

Yin Tao felt embarrassed just thinking about that scene. However, if she had really caused such a huge commotion, it was impossible for her to not wake up. “Forget it, nothing happened anyway! I don’t want to think about it anymore. I still have to go to work.”

Yin Tao tried her best not to dwell on what happened the night before. After all, her current job wasn’t as casual as when she was at the police station. Although Su Ning was very strict at work, as long as there were no new cases, she would give Yin Tao enough time to rest and wouldn’t be too strict with Yin Tao’s working hours.

However, the Wan Corporation was different. Not only did they have to clock in to work, but if they were really late, they would probably be gossiped about by their colleagues.

After tidying up briefly, Yin Tao quickly walked out of the bedroom.

“Xiaotao, come and have breakfast.” Feng Jing had already prepared breakfast in the kitchen. When he saw Yin Tao walking downstairs, he poured some warm milk into a cup.

“Brother Feng, why are you up so early?”

Yin Tao awkwardly observed the sofa in the hall and saw the coat that Feng Jing had covered her with yesterday. Only then did she realize that Feng Jing must have gone to the hall to rest the night before.

“I’m used to waking up early. There have been a lot of things going on at the police station recently. I’ll send you to the Wan Corporation first before returning to the police station.”

Yin Tao looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the dining table and obediently sat on the chair.

She had to admit that Feng Jing knew her appetite very well. He would prepare a good variety of food for breakfast every time and Yin Tao would finish off everything he had prepared..
