Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: I Give You Three Days

"Wu Feng, do you dare to tell that Yaoyao what you just said?" Impulsive moment? Lin Zhenxin sneered at these words.

Wu Feng had never been so embarrassed, his face alternating between shades of green and white.

"I'll give you three days. If you like to drag things out, I don't mind telling Lemon for you."

Lin Zhenxin still held that invitation in her hand, but her voice was cold to the bone.

"Are you forcing me?" Wu Feng's eyes were bloodshot.

"You misunderstand, I'm not forcing you, I'm just informing you."

Lin Zhenxin stood up; her character wouldn't let her pretend nothing was wrong and stay there.

"Are you leaving?" Yao Lemon came back carrying a burger and cola. Seeing Lin Zhenxin about to leave, she quickly took a beautifully packaged gift box from her bag and stuffed it into Zhenxin's bag, smiling as mysteriously as she could.

"Exclusive supply, guaranteed to be addictive after one try!"

She tossed the invitation onto the office desk, landing right on the investigative report.

Two displeasing things together, and Lin Zhenxin suddenly felt a bit sad.

Picking up her phone, she instinctively dialed Yao Lemon's number, but hung up before it even rang.

Besides Lemon, she didn't have any other friends to confide in.

Looking at the contact list, in a daze, she dialed another number.

When a deep male voice came through from the other end, Lin Zhenxin hastily hung up in fright.

How did she end up calling Li Yanan?

But before Lin Zhenxin could react, her phone rang again in her hand.

The caller ID showed it was Li Yanan.

With no time to hesitate, Lin Zhenxin answered.

"I... I dialed the wrong number." She used the dumbest excuse.

"Have you eaten?" A magnetic voice came through the earpiece, making Lin Zhenxin feel a bit tingly all over.

"Mm." Actually, she hadn't.

"Liar." The man on the other end unexpectedly saw through her lie instantly.

"How did you know?" she asked in surprise, only to hear his deep laughter in response.

The laughter seemed contagious, and Lin Zhenxin silently curved her lips, her gloomy mood seemed mostly swept away.

"Are you busy?" She heard some background noise on his side that sounded like a printer.

"Just sorting through some documents."

After saying this, a brief silence fell between them.

"Then you carry on, I'll hang up." Lin Zhenxin always felt like she was interrupting his work.

"I'll pick you up later tonight. What do you want to eat?" The nightlife in City J is bustling, with places to eat open all night.

"I don't have much of an appetite."

"Then I'll just buy something and pick you up." Li Yanan's voice had a somewhat domineering tone, and Lin Zhenxin mumbled to herself before quickly ending the call as someone suddenly came into the office.

"Who were you talking to? Your face is all red!" Sister Wang reached out and gently touched her soft, tender face.

"My husband." Lin Zhenxin didn't intend to hide the fact that she was married.

"Huh? Zhenxin, you're married? When did that happen? That's not very considerate, not even inviting me to the wedding!"

Sister Wang looked displeased.

"We're not planning to have a wedding banquet, so I didn't tell anyone." Lin Zhenxin smiled. In truth, by custom, she should have treated everyone to a meal, but there were too many things happening lately, and she forgot about it.

"No wedding banquet? Are you sure you're okay with that? Don't you feel wronged?"

Sister Wang truly couldn't understand what the young people were thinking nowadays. Anyone else would want a big wedding with fanfare, but Lin Zhenxin, asking for nothing—girls like her were practically extinct now!
