Chapter 602: Sister, What Exactly Are You Trying to Find? (7)
Zhuang Nainai was utterly confused by the scene that was playing out in front of her.
Erm…
What was going on?
Why was Sister Si crying in the arms of another man?
Having cried enough, Si Jingyu was just about to push Yao Teng away when she was caught right in the act by Zhuang Nainai.
She immediately froze.
Zhuang Nainai was even more awkward. Waving her hands, she said, “You guys can continue, erm, continue…”
Having said this, Zhuang Nainai was about to close the door when she b.u.mped into someone while backing away.
Stunned, she turned around. s.h.i.+ Jinyan was now at the doorway, his eyes full of anger and hostility as he stared into the room.
Zhuang Nainai was speechless.
In the room, Si Jingyu finally realized what was going on at the doorway. With a shocked expression, she quickly pushed Yao Teng away. But just as she did so, something seemed to have occurred to her and she calmed down.
Slowly retracting her hands to herself, she let go of Yao Teng and said, “I’m sorry.”
Yao Teng shook his head. “It’s alright.”
With that, he turned his head toward the door. His expression didn’t change at the sight of Zhuang Nainai, but when he spotted s.h.i.+ Jinyan, who was standing right behind her, he immediately narrowed his eyes, now full of hostility.
Si Jingyu had given so much for him, but what about him?!
Yao Teng clenched his fists tightly. He wanted so much to go up and fight with s.h.i.+ Jinyan, but…
At the thought of the current relations.h.i.+p between Si Jingyu and s.h.i.+ Jinyan, he let his hands fall limply by his side. Narrowing his eyes, he decided to stay put and remain silent.
The four of them were now plunged into a strange silence.
Si Jingyu had her head lowered, but Zhuang Nainai was still able to see that her eyes were red.
Sister Si was always optimistic and cheerful. What exactly had happened for her to be so upset that she was crying so brokenheartedly?
At the thought of this, Zhuang Nainai couldn’t help but look toward the man sitting beside Sister Si. Was it because of him?
As Zhuang Nainai considered this, s.h.i.+ Jinyan moved past her and strode into the room.
His expression had returned to the usual coolness, and he even had a faint smile on his lips. Behind his gold-rimmed spectacles, his small eyes narrowed themselves slightly, and he walked over to put his hands on Si Jingyu’s shoulders.
His hands exerted too much force, making Si Jingyu tense up.
With that, s.h.i.+ Jinyan turned his head toward Yao Teng. “Thanks for saving Jingyu and bringing her back home. Our Jingyu’s given you much trouble.”
Our Jingyu…
Home…
These words shook Yao Teng. Now even more dispirited than before, he tensed up his face. Pausing for a moment, he then said, “The Hebei area is under my care, so it’s not a trouble for me.”
The phrase “Hebei area” seemingly caused s.h.i.+ Jinyan to misunderstand something; his hands suddenly tightened once more. Si Jingyu felt as if her shoulders didn’t belong to her anymore.
s.h.i.+ Jinyan cast another glance at Yao Teng. “Does Officer Yao still have anything else to do?”
Yao Teng narrowed his eyes. A few moments later, he shook his head. “Nope.”
With that, he stood up and reached out for his hat that he had put on the table. Putting his hat back onto his head, he said, “I suddenly remember that I’ve got some work to do. I’ll take my leave first.”
After saying this, he gazed deeply at Si Jingyu, then walked in uniform steps toward the door.
Si Jingyu lifted her head to look at him and watched as he stopped at the doorway. Suddenly, he turned his head toward s.h.i.+ Jinyan. “s.h.i.+ Jinyan, treat her well.”
