Lian Jing had frowned when he saw Lian Meng return. He had clearly instructed Shang Sheng and the others to arrange for Lian Meng to stay somewhere else tonight. Why had they allowed her to come back?

However, he could only take things as they came. He would never let his sister be persecuted again under his watch.

When Fu Ting heard the Old Master making peace for him, he immediately nodded excitedly and said, “That’s right, Cousin Lian Meng. In the past, I was young and ignorant. From now on, I won’t have to return to Liancheng. I’ll make it up to you.”

He deliberately emphasized the words “make it up to you”. In Old Master Lian’s eyes, he was sincerely apologizing, but in Lian Meng’s ears, it was no different from the low moan of a devil.

Old Master Lian did not know how wicked Fu Ting was because he was really good at pretending. His acting was excellent and he always wore a mask that she could not easily remove.

If her brother had not found her in time back then, a tragedy would have happened.

Lian Meng could not help but shiver at the thought of that nightmarish incident. She nodded blankly and said, “Alright, I understand. I’ll go and sleep first.”

Old Master Lian nodded kindly and agreed. He also let the others return to their rooms to rest while Butler Chen helped him into a massage chair for a bedtime massage.

At the top of the stairs, Fu Ting humbly stepped aside and smiled at Shen Yin. “Sister-in-law, please go ahead. As your elder cousin, how can I fight with you and Lian Jing over who gets to go first?”

Shen Yin did not know what to say to him, so she just nodded politely and thanked him.

Unexpectedly, her words touched Lian Jing’s sore spot. He suddenly tightened his grip on her wrist, causing her to frown in pain and growl, “What are you doing? It hurts.”

“Let’s go.” Lian Jing looked down indifferently. He grabbed her hand and brought her up the stairs, not even bothering to look at Fu Ting.

Behind him, Fu Ting sneered as he watched the two of them leave side by side. Suddenly, a brilliant plan arose in his heart.

As if sensing something, Lian Jing turned around and met his burning gaze. Lian Jing narrowed his eyes slightly and unhappily put Shen Yin in front of him. He used his back to block her and protected her back to the room.

The moment he closed the door, Lian Jing pressed her against the door. His expression was so cold that it seemed to drip with frost. “Why did you talk to him?”

Shen Yin was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was referring to her thanking Fu Ting just now. She immediately pursed her lips speechlessly and said, “I was just being polite. Do you have to go so far?”

“Yes.” Lian Jing suddenly became unreasonable. He wrapped his big hand around her waist and refused to let go. He even kept rubbing her with his body. His domineering gaze seemed to penetrate right through her. “You’re not allowed to talk to him in the future. Don’t eat what he gives you, and you’re not allowed to go out alone with him.”

“Why would I go out alone with him?” Shen Yin pushed his chest helplessly, but she could not push him away. She could only gently raise her hand to cup his face like she was coaxing a child. “Alright, alright, alright. I promise you that I won’t talk to him, I won’t take his things, and I definitely won’t go out with him. Can you let go of me now?”

“No.” Lian Jing continued to shamelessly hug her slender waist tightly. He lowered his head and suddenly leaned close to her lips. “Shen Yin, you don’t know how sinister and cunning Fu Ting is. In the past, Lian Meng almost fell into his trap. I can’t be by your side 24 hours a day, so you have to be vigilant, understand?”

“I understand.” Shen Yin let go of his face in amusement. After easily pushing him away this time, she went to the closet to get a set of pajamas and was about to take a shower when she suddenly saw that some clothes in the corner were inexplicably creased. She frowned slightly and thought for a moment before squatting down to check the clothes piled in the corner that she did not usually examine.

The corner of the closet was empty. Shen Yin’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she stood up without saying anything.

Lian Jing noticed something was amiss and walked to her side. “What’s wrong?”

Shen Yin looked up at him in shock. Suddenly, it was very difficult for her to say that she had lost something. When she thought of what Lian Jing had done to her after she wore that dress last time, her face instantly turned red.

Sensing Lian Jing’s increasingly suspicious gaze, she suddenly felt that it was good thing to have lost the dress. She hurriedly closed the cabinet door with a bang and shook her head. “Nothing. I’m going to take a shower. Go to the guest room next door to wash up.”

“I’ll go with you.” Lian Jing snatched the pajamas from her hand and pulled her arm domineeringly as he led her into the bathroom.

Outside the door, Fu Ting stood there with a smile as he eavesdropped on the conversation inside. He only walked back to his room when he heard the sound of water running.

Behind him, the girl that Old Master Lian had specially sent to serve him smiled shyly. “Young Master Fu, let me help you make the bed..”
