Shen Suihuan looked at Feng Shinian in surprise.

They actually know each other.

Before Shen Suihuan could think about it, Lin Wanyi said, "Since we've met, why not have a meal together?"

Shen Suihuan already had a good impression of Lin Wanyi, so of course he had no objection when he heard her say that.

She looked at Feng Shinian and asked what he meant.

Feng Shinian nodded.

They found a private room together.

Lin Wanyi has been chatting with Shen Suihuan about work and discussing project details.

Suddenly, Chen Ye placed a cup of rose tea in front of her and said, "Don't talk about work during lunch break."

He put one hand on the back of Lin Wanyi's chair, behaving very intimately.

Feng Shinian maintained a gentle smile, looked at them, scalded the cup of water and spoon with boiling water, and placed them in front of Shen Suihuan.

The door of the private room opened and the dishes were served.

Feng Shinian naturally reached out his hand, turned the turntable on the dining table, and placed the steaming matsutake chicken soup in front of Lin Wanyi.

"Your stomach isn't feeling well, and you just drank some wine. Drink some soup to warm your stomach."

Everyone's eyes fell on Feng Shinian.

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows, as if he suddenly remembered something, "This must be your adopted son."

This sentence, like a thunderclap, exploded in Shen Suihuan's heart. She looked at Feng Shinian, with astonishment flashing in her eyes.

He is actually the adopted son of the Lin family.

If he wanted Lin Wanyi's project, why didn't he go directly to Lin Wanyi, but instead went through such a big circle to find me?

Feng Shinian nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

Chen Ye leaned closer to Lin Wanyi and asked, "I heard that you went abroad six years ago. When did you come back?"

The fact that Feng Shinian was expelled from the country was no secret in the wealthy circles of Shanghai.

After all - the Lin family raised him, but he coveted the eldest daughter of the Lin family!

The situation was very unpleasant at the time, so the Lin family urgently sent him abroad.

"In the last month."

Although his scars were exposed, Feng Shinian answered calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Chen Ye said "Oh" in a drawn-out tone, with a playful look in his eyes becoming more intense.

"Why don't you come back to visit the Lin family after returning home? Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin must miss you very much."

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Feng Shinian's hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Ye.

The glance was very light, but it made the originally relaxed atmosphere in the private room suddenly become tense.

Feng Shinian put down the teacup with a slight sound.

His voice was still gentle. "I've already left the Lin family and started a small company. I'm quite busy and haven't had time to go back and visit my adoptive parents yet."

Chen Ye let out an elongated "ah" in a tone that sounded very provocative.

Shen Suihuan's fingertips tapped the wall of the cup unconsciously, her eyes dropped, and she had the urge to hit someone.

At this moment, Lin Wanyi, who had been silent all this time, turned completely cold.

She stood up suddenly, and the chair made a harsh sound as it scraped against the ground.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left without even glancing at anyone at the table.

The bowl of matsutake chicken soup that Feng Shinian passed to her was still steaming, but she didn't touch it at all.

Lin Wanyi went out for a while.

Feng Shinian also slowly stood up.

"I'm going to have a cigarette."

His excuse was equally casual, and he followed him out.

In the huge private room, only Shen Suihuan and Chen Ye were left.

The suffocating tension disappeared, replaced by an even more awkward silence.

Chen Ye seemed very interested in her and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Aren't you curious at all?"

Shen Suihuan raised her eyelids and met his gaze coldly.

"I have no interest in prying into other people's private affairs."

Chen Ye chuckled, "How boring."

"Mr. Chen is so rude." Shen Suihuan looked at him coldly, with disgust on his face not concealed at all.

She also stood up and looked at Chen Ye with her chin raised. "You are not worthy of Wan Yi, so your marriage cannot be successful."

She said this because she could see that Lin Wanyi didn't like him.

Chen Ye raised his finger and wiped the corner of his mouth to remove the tea stains. "Tsk, the Shen family, a little-known family in Jiangcheng, can actually interfere with the marriage between the Chen and Lin families?"

He raised his eyebrows provocatively, "Or are you interfering as the Jiang family's adopted daughter? The Jiang family is quite influential."

After saying this, he laughed softly.

"They are the adopted son and the eldest daughter, and you are the adopted daughter and the head of the family. Are you putting yourself in their shoes? I feel that the head of the Jiang family will not marry you."

"Don't worry about my business."

After saying that, she left the private room.

This guy is really disgusting. She even regrets eating at the same table with him.

Shen Suihuan went to the bathroom. The corridor of the restaurant was very quiet. It was covered with thick carpet, which absorbed most of the footsteps.

As she passed the stairs, she vaguely heard suppressed voices coming from there.

She didn't want to pay attention.

But the next second, she heard a scream.

Shen Suihuan paused. She recognized that it was Lin Wanyi's voice, but out of concern for her, she still walked over.

At a glance, she saw two people entangled at the corner of the stairs.

Feng Shinian held Lin Wanyi in his arms, and their posture looked somewhat intimate.

Shen Suihuan's pupils shrank slightly, and almost subconsciously, he turned around quickly and hid behind the wall at the corner.

It felt like she had bumped into something, and her heart beat wildly for a moment before she reacted.

It must be that Lin Wanyi stepped on air and was about to fall, so Feng Shinian went to protect her and hugged her.

Feng Shinian held Lin Wanyi in his arms, but his eyes swept sharply towards the direction behind the wall, as if he had noticed something.

Shen Suihuan didn't want to eavesdrop, but she was standing in this position now. If she moved, she would be discovered, and it was a bit difficult to explain.

She could only choose not to move, even breathing lightly.

"Why don't you go home?"

Feng Shinian's words were still the same as what he said at the dinner table.

“The company is just starting out and it’s very busy.”

Lin Wanyi snorted, obviously not believing it, and suddenly broke free from his arms.

"If you didn't know I was getting married, would you have planned to never come back?"

Feng Shinian was silent for a moment.

He raised his hand, as if wanting to ruffle her hair like he used to.

"No."

Lin Wanyi suddenly turned her head away from his hand, unwilling to let him rub her head like he did when she was a child.

Feng Shinian's outstretched hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air.

But he still coaxed her good-temperedly, "Wanwan, don't be angry. I just feel that it's not appropriate for me to go back now."

Lin Wanyi stared at him intently with red eyes.

"Why is it inappropriate?"

Feng Shinian sighed helplessly, his voice revealing a deep sense of fatigue.

"Don't you know? We're all grown up now, and it's time to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, it will be bad for your reputation."
