An Yin started to hate her "dad". If it weren’t for him, Ms. An wouldn’t have been so concerned, always reluctant to accept another man.
An Yin gently rubbed her head against An Ying’s shoulder.
"What’s wrong?" An Ying could feel her daughter’s low spirits.
An Ying’s soft and gentle inquiry soothed An Yin’s anxious heart.
"I hope mom will be very happy from now on." This was An Yin’s sincere wish.
Actually, she also wanted to say that she didn’t want her mom to live alone forever. If there was a man to care for her, that would be great!
"With you, mom is very happy!" An Ying reached out and tightly hugged her daughter.

Tea room.
In a top-tier private room, Lin Yue sat in front of an antique red sandalwood table, took a sip of tea, and his eyes revealed satisfaction.
In front of him stood a woman in a qipao, her movents were like flowing clouds and water, as she brewed cup after cup of tea.
After a short while, the door of the private room opened.
Shen Jingrou was led in by the attendant.
"Where is An Yin?" After entering, Shen Jingrou looked around for An Yin’s figure; realizing there was only herself and the woman making tea, her thoughts turned, fearing she had been fooled by this damned man again.
"So her na is An Yin!" Lin Yue put down his teacup and waved at the tea-making woman, and instantly, everyone serving in the room exited, leaving only him and Shen Jingrou.
Shen Jingrou walked to the soft chair opposite him and sat down.
Previously, Lin Yue had called her, saying he saw a familiar little girl. Just as Shen Jingrou was about to hang up, he ntioned it was the girl who accompanied her to a matchmaking she had arranged.
Then he said, the girl looked quite embarrassed.
Curious, Shen Jingrou had Lin Yue hang up the phone, only for him to send a location and the specific private room number.
If Shen Jingrou had called An Yin to inquire, she wouldn’t have been fooled by Lin Yue. Thinking of this, Shen Jingrou threw a disgruntled glance at him, "Immature!"
Facing her dissatisfaction, Lin Yue showed no anger but instead smiled and pushed the tea on the table towards her, "This tea is good, try it."
The two had known each other for many years, and Lin Yue was well aware of her temperant.
Sure enough, facing his slightly ingratiating smile, Shen Jingrou’s anger gradually subsided, and she picked up the tea before her, downing it in one go.
Lin Yue was montarily stunned, then said, "There’s more here." With that, he placed another cup in front of her.
This ti, Shen Jingrou didn’t reach out. Her pupils fixed on him, "Go on, why did you call here?"
"Can’t I find you without a reason?" Lin Yue squinted at her, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalance, though his dark eyes concealed slight lancholy.
"If you’re bored, go find won to kill ti, aren’t they your favorite?" Shen Jingrou retorted.
For so reason, whenever she was with him, an inexplicable irritation always rose inside her. Clearly, in the eyes of others, she was gentle and rarely contradicted anyone.
Hearing her ntion those won, Lin Yue sneered, picked up a cup of tea, and downed it in one go, mimicking her stance.
This tea, still not bitter enough!
"Can’t we have a decent conversation?" Lin Yue changed his usual nonchalant deanor, hinting at weakness in his words.
This, however, made Shen Jingrou uncomfortable.
"What, what’s wrong?"
They used to be the best of friends, later becoming family. Even though he was sotis very annoying, Lin Yue always held an important place in Shen Jingrou’s heart.
However, these years, their confrontational way of getting along made Shen Jingrou sowhat unused to his softened attitude.
Lin Yue got up and walked towards the window.
Where he stood was a panoramic window with a wide view. Standing in a tall building, overlooking the night view outside the window had its unique charm, only those sporadic lights held no place he wanted to approach.
He stood tall, his well-cut shirt fitting perfectly, accentuating his slender silhouette, giving off a serene and gentle vibe.
Shen Jingrou withdrew her gaze. He had always been outstanding since childhood, naturally attracting the attention of many girls. Now that they had grown up, his mature aura added to his male charm, no wonder so many won pursued him despite his rogue ways.
Seeing him silent, Shen Jingrou guessed he must have encountered significant difficulties and began feeling uneasy. She took off her coat and placed it on the chair back, got up, and walked towards Lin Yue, "What’s the matter, say sothing!"
As she spoke, she habitually reached out and firmly grasped his strong arm, giving it a tug.
When they were still good friends, such shoulder-to-shoulder monts were frequent, with Shen Jingrou touching his arm being even more common.
The touch at his wrist made Lin Yue want to indulge.
Her urgent words showed she cared for him, right?
He originally just wanted to see her. He wasn’t in any trouble at all, but witnessing her anxiety over him, Lin Yue suddenly didn’t want to tell the truth.
At least, at this mont, her concern for him was real.
"Lin Yue, if you don’t speak, I’ll never talk to you again." His tall figure forced her to look up at him.
Lin Yue turned his head, eting her angry face.
"Couldn’t close a deal." Lin Yue made up.
Hearing his words, Shen Jingrou frowned. Since Lin Fei’s death, most of the Lin family’s business fell to Lin Yue. Over the years, Shen Jingrou never paid attention to Lin Family’s business matters, focusing entirely on her daughter. Now hearing Lin Yue’s words, she couldn’t help but worry.
"Is it serious for Lin Corporation?" Shen Jingrou’s eyes were filled with worry.
"It’s okay, I’ll handle it." Feeling guilty about her clear eyes, Lin Yue replied.
Seeing him unwilling to discuss more, Shen Jingrou assud the situation must be serious and refrained from voicing an erging thought in her heart.
Noting his mood was still not improved, Shen Jingrou rarely suggested, "Go to the bar downstairs for a drink?" A man’s negative emotions need to be released; otherwise, prolonged suppression is harmful.
And the only place Shen Jingrou thought could make Lin Yue happy was a bar, after all, she couldn’t possibly find him a woman!
"Sure."
Her rare initiative to invite him to the bar lit up Lin Yue’s eyes, instantly invigorating him. As he was about to step forward, the warmth on his wrist once again enchanted him.
He stared darkly at her fair fingers, montarily lost.
