126 Scene

The smile on Yin Tao’s face was a little stiff. She didn’t know if she had done the right thing by accepting Lin Jia’s gift.

“Let’s go. It’s not good for us to keep hiding. Let’s go out and take a look.” Lin Jia reluctantly brought Yin Tao out of the study. If it wasn’t for the fact that there were still many guests on the first floor that needed to be entertained, Lin Jia was very willing to keep hiding with Yin Tao.

The two of them had just turned a corner when they saw Yin Hao and Feng Jing coming up from the first floor.

“Brother, why are you here?”

!!

Yin Tao was a little surprised that Feng Jing and her brother were together. Their relationship seemed to have become much closer.

“Where did you go?” Feng Jing ignored Lin Jia and looked straight at Yin Tao.

“I got too tired from standing. Brother Lin Jia asked me to rest in the study for a while.”

Yin Tao didn’t feel that there was anything wrong, but Feng Jing’s gaze was a little stern, especially when he saw the necklace around Yin Tao’s neck.

Feng Jing tried his best to control his emotions. He already knew that Lin Jia was keen on Yin Tao, but the actual sight of the two of them walking together made him uncomfortable.

“Let’s go down together. Feng Jing insisted on coming to look for you.” Yin Hao realized that the atmosphere was not right and quickly diffused the situation. “Lin Jia, as the host, how can you be lazy? Let’s go down and have a few more drinks.”

Lin Jia had a smile on his face, but the emotions in his eyes were unclear. When he saw the brooch on Feng Jing’s collar, his eyes opened wide.

“Oh, Captain Feng, since when have you started having these trinkets? Didn’t you despise the brooch I gave you as a gift before?”

Hearing Lin Jia’s words, Yin Tao smiled as she pointed at the peach blossoms on her gown and said to Lin Jia, “These were given by the stylist this morning. I have one too, so don’t laugh at Brother Feng. He didn’t buy it.”

After Yin Tao finished speaking, Yin Hao and Lin Jia’s expressions clearly changed. Only Yin Tao would think that the stylist would give customers brooches.

“Really? Which stylist is it? I’ll go and take a look another day. The workmanship of this brooch is not bad. It’s about the same as the cost of a styling session, right?” Although Lin Jia was smiling, his tone clearly had a deeper meaning.

Yin Hao looked at the two of them who were in a deadlock. He walked forward and hugged Lin Jia, dragging him downstairs. “Alright, I contacted the stylist. I’ll bring you there another day. Let’s go. Xi Feng and the others are still waiting for you downstairs.”

Lin Jia was led downstairs by Yin Hao. Yin Tao looked at Feng Jing who was still standing on the spot with a puzzled expression. “Brother Feng, why do I feel that my brother is acting a little strange?”

Yin Tao didn’t understand what had happened between them, but she felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

“It’s nothing. Let’s go downstairs too.” Feng Jing knitted his brows. He didn’t know what was wrong with him, but he felt uncomfortable when he saw Lin Jia and Yin Tao standing together.

Feng Jing did not think that he liked Yin Tao. She was too young and Feng Jing had never thought that he would have any interactions with her other than work. However, it seemed that it was necessary to re-examine his relationship with Yin Tao.

“Xiaoyin, do you like Lin Jia?” Feng Jing felt a little regretful after asking. Actually, he had no right to ask Yin Tao about this.

Even if Yin Tao really got together with Lin Jia, Feng Jing should only wish them well.

“Brother Feng, have you misunderstood?” Yin Tao suddenly understood why Feng Jing was acting so strange. After all, Lin Jia was his good friend for many years. If they really got together and Lin Jia didn’t inform Feng Jing, he would inevitably start imagining things.

“Actually, Brother Lin Jia invited me here because he wanted me to pretend to be his girlfriend.” Yin Tao thought about it and decided to tell Feng Jing about her pact with Lin Jia.

“Pretend to be his girlfriend?” Feng Jing chuckled and asked, “Did Lin Jia tell you that his family is urging him to find a girlfriend? And so he needs your help so that he doesn’t have to go on blind dates?”

Yin Tao nodded her head. Feng Jing’s words were similar to Lin Jia’s.

“Don’t help him in the future.” Feng Jing knew Lin Jia very well and knew what he was thinking.

“Alright.” For some reason, Yin Tao felt that Feng Jing was right.

The two of them walked downstairs together. As soon as Yin Tao appeared, she saw many familiar faces.

Yin Hao and Jin Chen were chatting with Lin Jia while Xi Feng and Yin Ning stood at the side. Wan Zhe, who was not far away, glanced at Xi Feng and the rest from time to time.

“Everyone is here now…”

Yin Tao muttered softly. This was also a big scene where the male and female protagonists gathered. Yin Tao really didn’t want to go over.
