202 Compensation

“Li Zi is here!”

Shen Yin’s face lit up. She completely forgot about the meat in the pot and rushed excitedly into the living room. “I was worried that you would get lost. I was just about to ask when you would arrive.”

“You’re the one who’s always getting lost.” Li Zi teased Shen Yin for her lack of sense of direction and sized up the Lian residence in surprise. “You’re finally going to marry into a rich family. When you become rich in the future, don’t forget me!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Shen Yin smiled and poured her a cup of hot tea to warm her up. She looked up at the butler and asked, “Where’s Nian Nian? Tell him that Li Zi is here and ask him to come out and greet her.”

!!

“Is Nian Nian used to living here?” Li Zi was worried that Shen Nian, a child who had appeared out of nowhere, would be bullied in the Lian family. This child was used to pretending to be an adult. Even if there was something amiss, he probably would not tell Shen Yin.

“Young Master is playing with Miss Cheng upstairs. I’ll ask him to come down.” The butler smiled and left, leaving the two of them in the living room.

“Miss Cheng?” Li Zi frowned slightly and suddenly thought of someone. She exclaimed and asked in a low voice, “Is she related to Cheng Huo?”

“She is.” Shen Yin helplessly told her about the incident.

Li Zi’s mouth fell open in shock. What a coincidence. The two children actually went to the same school.

At the mention of Cheng Huo, Li Zi could not help but sigh. “Actually, the two of you are fated. If you didn’t already have Lian Jing, Cheng Huo would be a good choice.”

“Hush.” Shen Yin was afraid that someone would hear her, so she quickly covered Li Zi’s mouth. “I wouldn’t have chosen Cheng Huo even if I did not have Lian Jing. We’re from different worlds.”

“Alright, alright, alright. I won’t talk about it anymore.” Li Zi smiled and removed her hand. She thought of something and suddenly frowned. “Have you figured it out? Was it really his sister who called you last time? Where is she now?”

Shen Yin shook her head and said in confusion, “I haven’t seen Lian Meng for a long time either. Maybe some work matter came up. I can confirm that she was the one who called me that night. I trust Lian Jing.”

As the two of them were chatting, Shen Nian ran down the stairs, followed by the shy and polite Cheng Mu.

“Godmother, I missed you so much.” Shen Nian pounced on Li Zi and hugged her briefly. Then, he retreated and welcomed her warmly like a mature adult. “Godmother, don’t leave tonight. Let’s celebrate Mom’s birthday together.”

“Alright, Nian Nian still misses me!” Li Zi hugged him happily. When she saw the little girl behind him, she immediately knew who she was and greeted her with a smile. “You’re Mu Mu, right? Please take care of Nian Nian in school.”

“I don’t need her to take care of me.” Shen Nian immediately retorted.

In his opinion, although Cheng Mu was a few years older than him, she was still a little girl. She was just a little smarter than others. He was a dignified man and did not need a little girl like her to take care of him!

“By the way, where’s Dad?” Shen Nian looked around but did not see Lian Jing. He looked at his mother curiously.

Were the two of them still arguing? If his father was still angry on his mother’s birthday and made her unhappy, he would not forgive him for the entire year!

Only then did Shen Yin remember the man she had abandoned in the kitchen. A trace of panic flashed across her eyes as she hurriedly got up and ran into the kitchen. She saw the man standing in front of the pot with a sinister expression, staring at the steam coming out of the lid.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lian Jing turned around to look at her with a cold expression.

Shen Yin unconsciously gulped and smiled guiltily. “I thought you would come out with me.”

“The soup’s almost ready.”

“Huh?” Shen Yin did not expect him to say that. She was stunned for a moment before nodding sweetly. “Then I’ll drink more later.”

Lian Jing turned around and continued to stare at the rising steam. After a while, he opened his thin lips slightly and said, “You have to finish it all.”

“Okay, I’ll finish it all.” Shen Yin really did not know what to do with him. He had been so domineering and insufferably arrogant when they first met, but now, he was becoming more and more childish and cute.

“Come back to my room with me after you’re done drinking.” Lian Jing turned his eyes and stared at her lips maliciously. “That kiss isn’t over yet. I want compensation.”

She took back the thought of calling him childish and cute!

This was clearly a wolf dressed as a sheep!

Shen Yin walked in angrily and grabbed his tie, forcing him to lower his head to close the distance between them.

“What are you doing?” Lian Jing stared at her intently.

His charming voice was so close that Shen Yin’s ears started to burn. She pretended to raise her head forcefully and glared at him. “I’ll make it up to you now. I’m going to celebrate my birthday with everyone later, so I can’t go back to my room to fool around.”

“Mm, then we’ll fool around tonight.” Lian Jing laughed softly, his eyes filled with love. Before Shen Yin could retort, he lowered his head and enjoyed her reward.
