Chapter 178 - 178 Wicked Imp

178 Wicked Imp

“You should go to school.” Cheng Huo looked down at Cheng Mu as if he was seeing trouble. He urged her to hurry into school.

Cheng Mu raised her head and made a face at her brother. Then, before Cheng Huo could raise his hand to deal with her, she quickly ran into the school and mischievously turned around to wave at Shen Yin. “Sister, let’s talk again when my brother isn’t around!”

Shen Yin waved goodbye to her in amusement and was about to get into the car when Cheng Huo grabbed her car door. His expression was so grim that it was as if Shen Yin owed him money. “Didn’t you see me?”

“I did.” Shen Yin nodded in confusion. “Is there anything else?”

Cheng Huo took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He barely managed to suppress his anger, but his voice sounded like he was gritting his teeth. “What do you mean? Do you want me to get lost as soon as you told me the truth?”

Shen Yin frowned and shook her head. “I thought you wouldn’t waste your time on me after we made things clear last time.”

“Shen Yin!” Cheng Huo glared fiercely at the woman he had been thinking about day and night. “I haven’t even said I’m giving up. What right do you have to eliminate me?”

Shen Yin sighed. She did not want to interact too much with him. She was already with Lian Jing, but even without Lian Jing, she would not choose him.

His world was too complicated for her to enter.

If she got together with him, she would only be pushing herself and Nian Nian into another fire pit.

She looked up at Cheng Huo sincerely. “But I already have a boyfriend.”

“Who is it?” Cheng Huo anxiously grabbed her arm, but Shen Yin broke free.

“I think you really wouldn’t want to provoke him, so it’s best if we don’t see each other anymore.” Shen Yin wanted to use Lian Jing as a shield to shut him up, but when she thought of Lian Jing, she felt a little bitter. Suddenly, she really did not want anyone to know about her relationship with Lian Jing.

That way, when they broke up one day, at least she could leave with dignity.

However, she did not expect Cheng Huo to see through her thoughts so easily. He laughed mockingly. “It’s Lian Jing, right?”

Shen Yin looked up at him, startled, and saw Cheng Huo shaking his head, his eyes dim. “Is it hard to guess? At the last charity gala, I already knew that you liked him.”

Hearing someone else say his name displeased Shen Yin. She felt stifled.

She did not want to pour out her heart to an unfamiliar man at the crowded school gate. She lowered her eyes, opened the car door, and got into the car. Without hesitation, she stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Far away, Lian Jing was sitting in the car. He turned his head to look out of the window and subconsciously rubbed his phone screen.

Lian Meng rubbed her chin and sized up her brother, whom she had not seen for a few years. The more she looked at him, the more suspicious she grew.

In the past, Lian Jing did not have the bad habit of clutching his phone at all times. She stared at her brother’s hand curiously. When he was not paying attention, she suddenly pressed the screen of his cell phone. When she saw the photo of the woman Lian Jing used as the background for his cell phone, she looked up at him in shock. “Brother, don’t tell me you’re in a relationship!”

Lian Jing frowned and narrowed his eyes. He said coldly, “Who said you could touch my phone?”

Lian Meng looked at Zhong Xin in shock and asked anxiously, “Is he really in a relationship?”

Zhong Xin did not dare to not reply, but he had to answer truthfully. He smiled wryly at Lian Meng. “Miss, how would I know about President Lian’s private life?”

“Liar!” Lian Meng frowned and glared at him unhappily. “You’re with my brother almost 24 hours a day. How could you not know?”

Zhong Xin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. “Miss, I have time off work. Although it’s not much…”

Zhong Xin noticed that President Lian was glaring at him, so he quickly turned around and shut his mouth.

Lian Meng slapped her thigh in glee. “Brother! Why are you still so devilish! Look at how frightened Zhong Xin is of you! You’re the one who’s secretly in a relationship, but Zhong Xin doesn’t even have time to find a girlfriend!”

Lian Jing suddenly turned around and looked at her, his deep eyes shining. “I see that you haven’t improved at all in your years overseas. Why don’t you stay here for a few more years? When you’re 40 years old, I’ll transfer you back to the country.”

“No! Brother!” Lian Meng clutched his arm pitifully. She batted her eyes and pretended to be pathetic. “I want to attend your wedding. How can you leave me alone overseas? I’ll be so pitiful!”

Lian Jing’s eyelids twitched. He turned his head away and snorted.

Lian Meng’s mind raced. She leaned closer to Lian Jing with a curious look on her face. Braving the danger of being reprimanded by him, she suddenly asked curiously, “Brother, when are you planning to propose to my future sister-in-law?”

Propose?

Lian Jing lowered his eyes and thought seriously for a moment. His sharp eyes looked out of the window at a jewelry shop that was passing by quickly. His heart skipped a beat. He turned around and stared at Lian Meng expressionlessly. “Are you very free? You can complete the negotiations this afternoon.”

Lian Meng immediately wailed. Her brother wanted to push all his work to her and live a carefree life!
