Chapter 275 - 275 Loving Lunch
275 Loving Lunch
At work, Shen Yin was still in a daze, letting her imagination run wild as she thought about the letters Lian Jing had received that morning.
Zheng Ling bit into an apple and walked over with a box of cut honeydew. “Boss, what are you thinking about? Have some fruit.”
“Thank you.” Shen Yin looked up at Zheng Ling, who was always cheerful and never seemed to have any worries. Her gloomy mood suddenly improved, and she teased half-jokingly, “You like fruits so much, no wonder you’re so cute.”
When her superior praised her appearace, Zheng Ling shyly rubbed her hands behind her back and smiled embarrassedly. “No, I’m just greedy. In terms of looks, Boss, you’re the number one beauty in our police station!”
“What an exaggeration.” Shen Yin did not think that she could compare to those young, beautiful, and energetic girls in the police station.
The two of them were talking in the office when Meng Heng suddenly knocked on the office door.
Zheng Ling retreated from Shen Yin’s side with a smile and teased, “Is Young Master Meng here to look for our boss again?”
Meng Heng was slightly stunned by her words. He flushed, but it was a huge improvement from his previous red face. “Yes, I have something to say.”
“What’s the matter? Come in and talk.” Shen Yin had no intention of going out to talk to him alone.
After all, she was no longer single. Other than work, she had to avoid being alone with other men. Otherwise, the person at home who would be jealous.
Shen Yin’s back ached when she thought about how Lian Jing had fallen on her hungrily last night.
Although she did not go out, she did not put on airs. She stood up and personally moved a chair in front of her desk, indicating that he should sit down.
Of course, Meng Heng could see that Shen Yin was maintaining her distance, but he did not reveal his thoughts as easily as before. He glanced at her indifferently and shook his head in refusal. “No need. I just wanted to tell you that Shen Cheng has been released. His family paid a large fine. I just wanted to tell you in advance to be careful of him and that Shen Luo.”
“I understand. Thank you.” Shen Yin thanked him sincerely.
Shen Cheng’s release from prison might become a problem for her. Judging from Shen Luo’s actions at the police station, it was obvious that he blamed her for everything. It was hard to guarantee that she would not play any tricks again.
Meng Heng grunted and turned to leave the forensics office.
Zheng Ling leaned over curiously and bumped her shoulder. “Boss, Little Meng is really a good person. If you didn’t already have President Lian, Little Meng would be a good choice!”
Shen Yin narrowed her eyes and teased her, “Little Ling, are you single now?”
Seeing that Shen Yin had changed the topic to her, Zheng Ling quickly coughed dryly and sat down awkwardly to pretend to work. “Boss, have some fruits. I’m still young. I’m not in a hurry to find a boyfriend.”
Shen Yin could not help but laugh. She did not tease her anymore. As she ate her fruits, she ordered a set of underwear for Li Zi online.
In the morning, Lian Jing had sent her to work and stuffed his bank card into her hands. He asked her to buy a new set and return it to Li Zi. The money linked to the card was also for her.
Shen Yin did not want to spend his money. After buying the things, she unlinked the card from her phone and prepared to keep the rest of the money. When Shen Nian grew up, she would hand it over to him for safekeeping.
During the lunch break, Lian Jing called to tell her not to go to the canteen for lunch. After a while, Zhong Xin brought a thermos to the police station to deliver food to her personally.
Shen Yin took it with a smile and brought it back to the office. When she opened it, she realized that there were several nutritious dishes inside.
She happily took a photo and sent it to Lian Jing. She thanked him and picked up her chopsticks. Just as she was about to eat, she received a call from him.
Lian Jing’s deep and magnetic voice came from the phone. “Turn on the camera. I want to see you eat with my own eyes.”
“Huh?” Shen Yin replied in confusion, but she still obediently did as she was told. She placed her phone in front of the computer to prop it up so that it could show her and the lunch boxes placed in front of her.
“Eat.” Lian Jing looked at Shen Yin eating happily in satisfaction and could not help but add, “Your stamina was so poor last night, you must be lacking in nutrition. From now on, I’ll get the nutritionist to prepare lunch and send it to you every day.”
“That’s too troublesome!” Shen Yin puffed up her cheeks and glared at him in disagreement. “Besides, I don’t have poor stamina. I’m clearly too tired.”
Lian Jing laughed softly and automatically ignored the second half of her sentence. He stared at her with bright eyes. “It’s not troublesome. Anyway, I asked someone else to make it and send it over. Can’t you just wait to eat?”
Shen Yin’s eyes crinkled into a smile. “I’m just afraid to trouble you, but this chef is really quite good. If I continue eating like this, I might gain a few pounds.”
Lian Jing stared at her sharp chin and thought about how she always worked overtime and stayed up late, without eating well. The light in his eyes suddenly dimmed and his voice became more serious. “It’s okay to be a little plump. I like it.”
