Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Brother Feng, I can take care of myself. Go ahead.”

Yin Tao thought that Feng Jing was worried that she wouldn’t be used to the occasion, so she continued to explain, “It’s your birthday banquet after all. It’s better for you to mingle with the guests. I’ll be fine with Brother Lin Jia.” Although Feng Jing didn’t want Yin Tao and Lin Jia to stay together, there were too many people present, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to say it directly. He could only say to Yin Tao, “If you need anything, come and look for me. If you don’t like such an occasion, go back to your room and take a rest first.”

Lin Jia looked at the abnormal Feng Jing and sized him and Yin Tao up. The relationship between the two of them seemed to have changed.

“When did Brother Feng Jing become so attentive?” Jin Chen couldn’t help but mutter softly when he saw Feng Jing leave.

“That’s right. Why has this fellow become so long-winded?” Lin Jia looked at Feng Jing who had already walked far away before his gaze returned to Yin Tao. “Xiaotao, why are you here? Did you come to the capital with Feng Jing?” Lin Jia didn’t know that Feng Jing had brought Yin Tao back this time. In his impression, Feng Jing and Yin Tao were not that close.

“Feng Jing’s auntie and I agreed to come back together.” Yin Tao didn’t know how to explain the situation. She was worried that if she didn’t make it clear, it would cause a misunderstanding for Feng Jing.

Just as Lin Jia was about to ask something else, he heard a very soft and sweet female voice behind her.

“Brother Lin Jia, we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

Yin Tao followed the voice and saw two familiar faces. Xia Ru, who was wearing an exquisite yellow dress, was pulling Le Yuan over.

“Le Yuan, Xiaoxia, we have indeed not seen each other for a long time.” Lin Jia greeted them very politely, but Jin Chen, who was standing beside him, seemed exceptionally enthusiastic.

“Sister Le Yuan, Xiaoxia, you gals are too much. You didn’t even come to my birthday the last time. Why did you guys rush back even though Brother Feng’s birthday party wasn’t in City A?” Jin Chen asked Le Yuan and Xia Ru unhappily.

Although his family background was not as good as the Feng family, he was much easier to get along with than Feng Jing. He really couldn’t understand why so many girls still preferred Feng Jing over him.

“Brother Jin Chen, didn’t we have something to take care of on your birthday? I did send you a carefully prepared gift.” Xia Ru smiled sweetly. Her temperament was much livelier than Le Yuan’s, and she usually got along well with Jin Chen and the others.

“Alright, Jin Chen. How many gatherings have you held in a year? Feng Jing is not the same as you.”

Lin Jia resolved the awkwardness naturally. He glanced at Yin Tao, who was standing beside him, and introduced her to Le Yuan and Xia Ru. “Le Yuan, Xiaoxia, this is Yin Tao. She works at the police station like Feng Jing. You haven’t met her, right?”

Xia Ru looked at the coziness between Lin Jia and Yin Tao and snorted unhappily. She said, “How can I not know you? You’ve been pestering Brother Feng Jing in City A previously. You actually followed him back to the capital this time. I wonder what your motives are.”

Noticing Xia Ru’s obvious hostility, Yin Tao frowned slightly. However, due to the situation, Yin Tao didn’t know if she should retaliate.

Before Yin Tao could reply, she heard Lin Jia’s smiling voice beside her.

“Xiaoxia, you might have some misunderstanding about Sister Xiaotao. Why is she pestering Feng Jing? I might believe it if you had said that Feng Jing was pestering her.”

Lin Jia was clearly protecting Yin Tao. In his opinion, Feng Jing’s reputation was far less important than Yin Tao’s.

“Brother Lin Jia, you don’t understand her at all. She’s clearly a scheming woman!” Xia Ru saw that Lin Jia was clearly biased towards Yin Tao and felt very upset. In her heart, Yin Tao couldn’t compare to Le Yuan at all, nor could she compare to her. Xia Ru couldn’t understand why Yin Tao was so well regarded by so many people.

“Xia Ru, Xiaotao is my friend. If you dislike her so much, then we’ll make ourselves scarce.” Seeing that Xia Ru’s attitude hadn’t changed at all, Lin Jia’s smiling face instantly darkened. He didn’t care about Xia Ru and Le Yuan’s awkwardness and pulled Yin Tao away.

“Brother Lin Jia!” Xia Ru was furious when she saw Lin Jia pulling Yin Tao away. Just as she was about to chase after her, Le Yuan, who was beside her, pulled her back forcefully.

“Xiao Ru, watch yourself. Don’t create a scene.” Le Yuan didn’t stop Xia Ru’s obvious hostility towards Yin Tao. In her opinion, with Xia Ru’s family background, Lin Jia should give her some face..
