279 The Happy One Returns
Shen Yin looked at her in amusement. “Why would I urge you to get married? Girls must find the right person to marry, not insist on getting married when they reach a certain age.”
“That’s right!” Zheng Ling took out her phone and turned on the recording function. “Boss, say it again. I’ll record it and send it to my Mom. I’ll say that my boss said it herself.”
Shen Yin could not help but laugh. She looked at her sympathetically and said, “Why? Auntie is already urging you to get married so early?”
“Yeah.” Zheng Ling sighed deeply and put down her phone. “Boss, you know that it’s very difficult to find a boyfriend in our line of work. People are afraid of us because we interact with the dead. It scares them.”
Shen Yin nodded. She had never experienced such a thing herself, but there were plenty of examples around her. “But I rarely see girls choose to be forensic pathologists. This shows that you are especially outstanding.”
“That’s what I thought too!” Zheng Ling narrowed her eyes and smiled. A young girl in her twenties, she looked exceptionally innocent and adorable. Shen Yin would never be able to get back that kind of innocence. “However, Boss, I’m quite envious of you. President Lian is handsome and rich, and he’s considerate. He’s really a model boyfriend!”
Shen Yin could not help but laugh out loud when she thought of Lian Jing’s scowling face when she first met him. She shook her head and said, “If you knew what he was like at the start, you definitely wouldn’t think so.”
Zheng Ling immediately asked her curiously, “Boss, tell me in detail. What was President Lian like at the beginning? Have you trained him to be the way he is now? If so, you’re really amazing. Hurry up and teach me how to do it?”
“Not really.” Shen Yin was a little embarrassed by her praise, so she briefly told her about how Lian Jing misunderstood her when they first met.
Zheng Ling was dumbfounded when she heard this. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. When Shen Ying finished speaking, she could not help but slap the table and say, “That’s my favorite trope of a domineering and affectionate President! Boss, I envy you even more!”
Shen Yin could not help but laugh. What was there to like about Lian Jing at that time? Not only was he unbelievably domineering, he even pressed her against the wall and kissed her forcefully when the two of them had only met a few times. If she had not resisted and slapped him fiercely back then, he would probably have pushed his luck.
When she was not busy at work, Zheng Ling would come over to talk to Shen Yin. In the blink of an eye, it was already evening. Shen Yin started to pack her things. Tonight, she was going to the airport with Lian Jing to pick up Lian Meng, who was returning to the country.
The girl rushed out of the arrival gate happilyand ran to Shen Yin’s side. She took out the beautifully wrapped box she carried with her and handed it to her. “Sister-in-law, this is my birthday present for you. You’re a magnanimous person, don’t be angry with me!”
“I’m not angry with you.” Shen Yin liked this girl very much and could not help but feel tender affection for her. She held her arm and said, “Your brother said to go home and have dinner with Grandpa tonight. You can arrange to meet up with whoever you want tomorrow. He’ll foot the bill.”
“Really!” Lian Meng looked at the man who was holding Shen Yin tightly in his arms as if he was afraid that others would covet her. She immediately understood and rolled her eyes. “Sister-in-law, don’t speak up for my brother. I know him too well. This must be your idea. My brother won’t be so thoughtful!”
Lian Jing’s cold gaze swept over and he snorted coldly. His gaze landed on the two of them holding each other’s arms. He suddenly raised his hand and pulled Shen Yin’s arm away. “You should be satisfied that I let you return to the country.”
Lian Meng knew that he would say that. She pursed her lips in disdain and ignored him. She continued to talk to Shen Yin. “Sister-in-law, I’ll invite my friends to a gathering. You and my brother can come too. It’ll be more lively with more people. Besides, those people are my brother’s friends. You can meet them together. I heard that my brother still has friends who haven’t seen you at all! It must be that my brother is petty and wants to hide Sister-in-law from others!”
Shen Yin glanced at the man beside her who was pursing his lips. “Speaking of which, I’ve only seen Shang Sheng.”
“Huh? My brother really didn’t introduce you to his friends!” Lian Meng glared at her petty brother with a judgemental expression.
Lian Jing glared at her. “There’s no need to meet those people.”
They were all playful rich young men who liked to swap female companions at gatherings. He did not want Shen Yin to learn bad things, nor did he want her to think that he was surrounded by these playboys who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
Seeing Shen Yin’s slightly injured gaze, he swallowed his refusal. His heart suddenly softened as he said, “I’ll bring you to Lian Meng’s welcome party this time.”
“That’s great! This way, everyone can meet and get to know each other!” Lian Meng happily held Shen Yin’s arm again and smugly glared at her brother, who wanted to get rid of her. She stuck out her tongue at him mischievously.
Shen Yin was amused by the secret rivalry between the siblings. Although Lian Jing seemed very strict with Lian Meng, she could sense that he cared deeply about his only biological sister.
