Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ru was very satisfied with her plan. Although she couldn’t do anything about Brother Lin Jia for the time being, she couldn’t accept Yin Tao marrying into the Feng family. She didn’t want to see such a vixen leeching onto the Feng family.

Yin Tao, who had hidden in the Feng family’s guest room, had no idea that Xia Ru and Le Yuan had already treated her as an eyesore.

Yin Tao sat by the bed. Although she didn’t feel sleepy at all, she wasn’t willing to go out and be sized up by everyone.

“Xiaotao, are you in there?”

When Yin Tao heard Feng Jing’s voice coming from outside the door, she walked over and opened it.

“How are you? Are you feeling unwell?” Feng Jing asked with concern as he walked into the room. He noticed that Yin Tao looked a little tired.

“I’m alright. I just want to have some peace and quiet.” Yin Tao explained awkwardly. She didn’t expect Feng Jing to come looking for her.

“If Xia Ru said anything that upset you, don’t take it to heart. They don’t get to judge what kind of person you are.” Feng Jing was still worried that Yin Tao would be unhappy because of what happened just now. He regretted leaving Yin Tao alone. If he was present, he would definitely have stood up for Yin Tao.

“Brother Feng, since when have I been so vulnerable? If I really cared about what others said, I wouldn’t have stayed in the police station as a forensic doctor.”

Yin Tao never thought that Feng Jing would be so worried about her, and she felt quite surprised and touched. After all, Feng Jing was the first person who would completely trust and protect her.

“I have underestimated you.” Seeing that Yin Tao was in a good state, Feng Jing smiled and reminded her, “However, no one can bully you in the capital. If you are unhappy, you can fight back directly. I will back you up if anything happens.”

Seeing that Feng Jing didn’t seem to be joking, Yin Tao awkwardly declined Feng Jing’s good intentions. “I’m really fine. Brother Feng, you should go out. Grandpa will come looking for you soon.”

Yin Tao knew the reason why she was targeted, so she deliberately kept a distance from Feng Jing. After all, as the male supporting role in the original novel, Feng Jing was still very attractive.

If she really got too close to him, she would inevitably become the imaginary enemy of many young ladies from aristocratic families.

Yin Tao wasn’t afraid of people like Xia Ru and Le Yuan, but she still felt that it was troublesome. She clearly hadn’t done anything, but she was being targeted for no reason. Yin Tao didn’t feel good no matter what.

“Xiaotao, do you hate this kind of occasion? You don’t like to deal with those mercenary and materialistic people?”

Feng Jing could tell that Yin Tao wanted him to leave and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. In the past, when he was in the police station, Yin Tao was always working alongside him. Feng Jing was already used to having her by his side. This was the first time he felt unwelcomed.

“Of course I don’t, but I don’t always attend such banquets.” Yin Tao didn’t understand Feng Jing’s intentions. However, Feng Jing fell silent for a moment after he finished speaking.

“It’s okay. We’ll go back to the police station in a few days. If you don’t like such occasions in the future, we won’t participate.”

Feng Jing looked at Yin Tao and thought that his decision to be a detective was the right one. Otherwise, he would never have gotten to know a girl like Yin Tao.

Yin Tao felt that Feng Jing’s words were a little strange, but she couldn’t quite put a finger on it. She only felt that Feng Jing was a little too concerned about her today.

“Actually, it’s fine. Why don’t I accompany you out, Brother Feng? It shouldn’t be good for us to hide here, right?” Yin Tao didn’t know what to do. She felt that it wasn’t appropriate to stay here with Feng Jing. After all, there were so many guests downstairs.

“You can stay here and rest. I’ll call you for dinner after the banquet ends. The people left behind tonight are all from our Feng family. You don’t have to be too anxious.”

When Yin Tao heard about the Feng family, she asked Feng Jing curiously, “Brother Feng, your parents will stay tonight, right?”

Yin Tao remembered that Yin Hao had mentioned that Feng Jing’s parents had a good relationship, so she was a little curious about what kind of people Feng Jing’s parents were. Would they be as easy to get along with as Grandpa Feng and Auntie Feng Ya?

“Yes, it’s rare for our family to be together. We only meet three or two times a year.”

Feng Jing’s expression didn’t change too much when he mentioned his parents. Yin Tao couldn’t tell Feng Jing’s attitude towards his parents either. She only felt that he was not as relaxed as when he mentioned his grandfather and auntie..
