Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Couple Outfits
This entire night, besides getting a little handsy, Lin Tian ended up just feeling frustrated himself.
Early in the morning, Bai Shishi, to avoid the awkwardness of three people having nothing to say upon waking up, had already gotten dressed, washed up, and headed to the office, leaving just Lin Tian and Mei Ruyan on a not too big, not too small bed.
"Ruyan, how about... you help me put out the fire?"
"No way, go find Shishi." After saying that, Mei Ruyan slipped out of the covers like a slick eel, grabbed a coat, and hurriedly dashed out of the room.
Staring at the ceiling, Lin Tian grimly laughed, feeling helpless. Just moments ago, he had been embraced from both sides, and now so quickly, he was all alone?
As he was about to put on his coat, his phone suddenly rang. Picking it up, he saw it was a number he didn’t recognize.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Mr. Lin, it’s me, LuuYong. We just met yesterday."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Tian cracked a slight smile and teased, "What, have you come around?"
"Yes, I have." LuuYong said with a fawning tone. Even without seeing him, Lin Tian could imagine the man nodding and bowing.
"Well, a wise bird chooses the right tree to nest, and an able minister picks the right master to serve. You figured it out." Lin Tian chuckled lightly, "As long as you get the job done, you will not be shortchanged."
Even though he had only met him once, Lin Tian could see right through LuuYong’s nature. A money-driven man, who hesitated yesterday, afraid for his life — he simply had no other choice. Either way, it was death. Naturally, he’d prefer dying rich.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin. Oh, right, I went to the company yesterday. I actually picked up some news. It seems Mr. Wang mysteriously gained a sister from somewhere, and she’s quite fierce. Ever since she arrived, Mr. Wang hasn’t been seen at the company for two or three days." LuuYong said.
"He got a sister?" Lin Tian’s brows furrowed lightly. To be honest, he wasn’t interested in such trivial matters. He wanted to know what Wang Sicong or the Wang Family were planning recently. A sister popping up might just mean Wang Daoran, the old bastard, had an illegitimate daughter outside.
Suddenly, Lin Tian recalled a conversation he had with Wang Yi a few months back.
That guy once mentioned that Wang Sicong wasn’t Wang Daoran’s birth son but rather the son of the Patriarch of the Ancient Martial Wang Family, Wang Shi. Given Sikong’s poor roots, he was sent to Wang Daoran for upbringing.
So, who was this newly emerged sister?
With questions in mind, Lin Tian raised his phone and asked, "Do you know what Wang Sicong’s sister looks like?"
"I asked around some. They say she looks quite ordinary, but is rather pleasant to look at. Yet, she seems pretty hard to deal with, like a tigress."
With these clues, Lin Tian had already zeroed in on Wang Sijing in his mind. That woman was indeed a pleasing tigress, right?
Thinking of that woman, Lin Tian was full of doubts. Last month at the True Martial Hall at Luoyan Dock, she had slit her throat severing her carotid artery, was later taken by Mr. Wang to the family’s ancestral home for treatment, and even delayed by attacks from other family’s during the journey. Yet she survived, quite the resilient one.
And in this past month, the hidden force left in Wang Sijing’s body had almost dissipated.
For Lin Tian, this wasn’t good news.
"I see. Any other news? Like where they might have gone." Lin Tian asked.
"Um..." LuuYong hesitated, "Not at the moment, but I can keep looking."
"Let’s leave it at that. Call me if anything comes up."
Just as Lin Tian was about to hang up, LuuYong called out: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, about the expenses..."
"Don’t worry, I won’t short you on this. Text me your account details, and I’ll transfer it over shortly. If you can dig up anything significant, there’s more in it for you." Lin Tian said.
"Alright, alright. Rest well, I won’t disturb you further." LuuYong said in a low posture, nodding and bowing like a lapdog, quite different from the lofty talent scout he was yesterday.
Lin Tian didn’t place much weight on such a small character, and casually transferred fifty thousand via WeChat before getting dressed, doing a quick wash, and arriving at Bai Shishi’s office, knocking before entering without waiting for an answer.
Bai Shishi’s office was much as it always was, with just a few more pots of plants for decoration. Even the bunch of roses Lin Tian gifted yesterday was arranged in an exceptionally beautiful porcelain vase.
And there sat Bai Shishi behind the desk, dressed in black office attire, which accentuated her full figure noticeably, especially the ample bosom in front that made Lin Tian swallow a gulp, regretting not having had enough the night before.
Bai Shishi felt her cheeks burn under his roguish gaze, scoffing coquettishly, "Do you always stare at others like this when you first come in?"
Lin Tian grinned shamelessly, "What about it? It’s my woman, isn’t it? I was holding you all night yesterday, too. The feel wasn’t bad at all."
"Don’t say that!" Bai Shishi scolded, her whole body feeling hot and utterly embarrassed by his words.
"Hehe, won’t say it." Lin Tian tactfully shifted the topic, asking with a smile, "Will you be busy today?"
Holding a pen, Bai Shishi thought for a moment and said, "If you’re planning a date, then I’m not busy."
Being flirted with like this made Lin Tian burst into laughter, "Alright then, tidy up, and we’ll head out."
"Are you asking me out?"
"Of course, doesn’t it look like it?"
"Alright then, here’s some congee and fried dough I prepared for you on the table, still warm. Eat first while I go change." Bai Shishi said with a smile.
Lin Tian nodded with a smile, making an ’OK’ gesture.
Shortly thereafter, Bai Shishi returned in a loose white sweatshirt printed with an adorable cartoon cat, paired with canvas shoes. With her hair tied in a ponytail, she no longer resembled the strong, bossy woman she usually was, but rather a cute girl-next-door.
"Why are you laughing?" Bai Shishi twirled in front of Lin Tian, "Is there something wrong with what I’m wearing?"
"Of course not, you look good in anything, better than a model." Lin Tian squinted and smiled.
Women love to be complimented, especially when it comes from their loved ones.
Bai Shishi was no exception, responding with satisfaction, "You’re really a sweet talker, but flattering words alone aren’t enough, you should change too."
"I have to change too? What’s wrong with this?" Lin Tian said confusedly.
"It’s fine, but it doesn’t match with mine." Bai Shishi said, handing Lin Tian a bag, "Here, wear this."
Lin Tian peeked inside — a white sweatshirt as well, was this a couple’s outfit?
