She had not put in that much effort on his birthday. But now, for the sake of the old man, she was going all out.
He knew that he was the one who had given her the order and thus, had no right to be angry, but CEO Sheng still silently felt bothered in his heart.
Half an hour later, Mu Qiqi came out of the study and saw Sheng Xiao sitting on the bed reading a document. She lay on top of him and said, “You ignored me the whole night.”
“You’re so busy. Do you even need me?” Sheng Xiao asked without batting an eyelid.
When Mu Qiqi heard this, she deliberately sniffed Sheng Xiao’s body a few times. “Do I smell jealousy?”
“Third Brother has already said everything. If I don’t show some sincerity, I’ll definitely be laughed at. Moreover, you’re the one who asked me to do this. You have no right to be jealous.”
“Did I say I’m jealous?” Sheng Xiao looked up and asked with a fake smile.
“Yes.” Mu Qiqi nodded affirmatively. “I can smell it on you from five kilometers away.”
“You’re wrong.” With that, Sheng Xiao put down the document and lay down, looking as if he was about to sleep.
Mu Qiqi rode on Sheng Xiao. “Is it that hard to admit that you’re jealous?”
Sheng Xiao was not in a hurry as she sat on top of him. He just put his hands behind his head and said slowly, “Back when you had a crush on me, you didn’t dare to ride on me like this.”
“It’s because I’m riding a tiger, just like I’m doing now. I’m just afraid of losing face for you.”
Sheng Xiao grabbed her, sat up, and pressed her against his leg. He then gave the little one a good beating on her butt. “How lawless.”
Mu Qiqi’s eyes were brimming with tears, but she still could not get her hand back. “You’re jealous, but you won’t admit it.”
“I asked you to prepare a gift, and you’re so proud of yourself?”
Mu Qiqi quickly got onto bed and hugged Sheng Xiao. “Although I’m glad you’re jealous for me, but… for the old man, there’s no need to be, is there?”
The next morning, Tang Yan was still at home when he received a call from the bureau. “Captain Tang, come back for a while. Someone called Cheng Bin came and said he wanted to apologize to you.”
When he heard Cheng Bin’s name, Tang Yan’s expression changed slightly.
“There’s no need to. Ask him to go back.”
“We’ve already said it, but he insisted on not leaving the police station without seeing you.”
Old Cheng answered with some difficulty.
Tang Yan was silent for a few seconds before he nodded. “I’ll be back right away.”
What kind of trick was Cheng Bin playing?
In order to ensure Feng Shanshan’s safety, Tang Yan planned to bring her along as well..
“You can go by yourself. Why do you need me to follow?”
“Cheng Bin showed up. I’m afraid that he’ll use some trick to lure me away from our nest,” Tang Yan explained calmly.
Hearing this, she stopped talking and leaned against the car to rest. She was clearly not awake yet. She was forcefully dragged out of bed by this man.
However, thinking about how worried he was, Feng Shanshan did not complain anymore.
Soon, the SUV entered the police station parking lot. Tang Yan said to Feng Shanshan directly, “Wait for me in the car. I’ll be out in a moment.”
Feng Shanshan did not refute him. She leaned against the car quietly.
Meanwhile, Tang Yan went directly to the police station’s reception area.
Cheng Bin was strong. He was no longer as fat as before. There was a scar on his forehead. It was probably caused by a fight with other prisoners. He should look fierce, but he had a warm smile on his face and was respectful to everyone.
“Officer Tang. I finally meet you, Officer Tang.”
The group of people did not know what was going on and stood aside to watch the show.
“What’s the matter?” Tang Yan walked up to Cheng Bin in a cold manner. After all, he did not regret what he did five or six years ago.
“I’m here to apologize on behalf of my brother.” Cheng Bin appeared to be very obedient. “I didn’t know that he would randomly vent his anger on your girlfriend and even got her expelled.”
“These are all things in the past. I can feel your sincerity. If there’s nothing else, you should hurry back.” Tang Yan was still indifferent, which made Old Cheng and the others around him anxious.
Captain Tang was someone who dealt with the world, so why had he not been hacked to death?
“Okay, I’ll leave right away. I also want to be a good citizen now, Captain Tang. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made contributions in prison. I really want to change.”
“You did a good job, and you were right.”
After Cheng Bin heard Tang Yan’s praise, his smile was as bright as a child’s.
“I don’t touch that thing anymore. You can arrest me at any time to investigate.”
“I’m a criminal police officer now. I don’t care about that side.”
Cheng Bin nodded and placed the local specialty snack he brought in front of everyone before turning around to leave.
However, when he entered the parking lot, he saw Tang Yan’s car.
“Looks like that woman is really important to him. He even brought this with her.”
Cheng Bin didn’t stay long. He drove his broken second-hand car away from the police station.
However, at this time, the people from the police station exploded. “Captain Tang, were you part of the Drug Squad? Otherwise, why would such a criminal know you?”
“No.”
“That’s weird…” Senior Long crossed his arms in thought. “Captain Tang, do you have any secrets that you’re hiding from everyone?”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll continue my vacation.”
Tang Yan didn’t plan to reply to anyone’s questions. These single dogs liked being paranoid.
Then, Tang Yan returned to the car. Feng Shanshan quickly asked, “What happened?”
“The Cheng Bin that I saw today was a completely different person. He used to be such a vicious one, but now he always has a smile on his face whenever he sees anyone. It’ll be hard to get him.”
“Then what did he want?”
“He came to tell me that he has changed. If it were anyone else, I might choose to believe him, but he…”
“What about him?”
“He’s only here to test me. Did I suspect him? This person used to be able to mingle with big shots in the country and abroad. He’s acting for sure,” Tang Yan said.
“Most importantly, he’s been released in just five to six years for a fifteen-year sentence. Three of his sentences have been commuted because of his meritorious service in prison. Such a person isn’t as he looks on the surface.”
Feng Shanshan nodded. She didn’t dare to let down her guard against Cheng Bin.
After all, her and Tang Yan’s lives were tied together and they couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.
“Aren’t you afraid that you might have to interact with such people often?” Tang Yan asked curiously when Feng Shanshan didn’t say a word.
“I have you,” Feng Shanshan replied. “Sometimes, I even feel lucky that I didn’t study because that way, you can tie me to your belt and carry me around with you at all times.”
“Graduating from school and graduating from self-exams are two different things. I’ve never seen anyone like you who didn’t care even if their lives were ruined.”
“In exchange for you, it’s worth it!”
