Chapter 14 My ring finger suddenly felt empty.

ring?

Wen Shuyi's mind went blank.

Yes, she got drunk that night and put a ring on Sheng Tingwang's ring finger.

This ring is quite eye-catching.

Without saying a word, she reached out and took the ring off Sheng Tingwang's finger. "Um, this... I'll take it back for now. I'll drink less in the future, so please don't take it to heart, Third Master."

My ring finger suddenly felt empty.

Sheng Tingwang frowned, looking somewhat disappointed. He reached out and grabbed Wen Shuyi's wrist, pulling her into his arms. "Going back on your word? Wen Shuyi, you're quite dishonest."

"Third Master, what you're saying is ridiculous. How can things done when you're drunk be taken seriously? You're too kind to hold a grudge..." Wen Shuyi forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "...Besides, this ring is clearly not a good match for you."

"So..." He raised his hand and grasped her chin, his gaze lingering on her face, "...you want to tell me that what happened that night doesn't count?"

The two were too close.

He was so close that his breath touched the corners of her lips.

It made her uneasy.

Wen Shuyi pursed his lips tightly, his back stiff. "Third Master, just forget about it. It was just an accident... nothing more. Don't mention it again. We... are impossible."

"If... I could help you find your brother, would you... think there's a possibility between us?"

Under Sheng Tingwang's gaze.

Wen Shuyi's pupils visibly widened. "How did Third Master know...about my affairs?"

"I naturally need to know more about a woman who wants to marry me." His fingertips slowly traced from her chin to the corner of her lips. "Wen Shuyi, I can not only help you find your brother, but I can also help you find out the truth behind your parents' deaths."

Sheng Tingwang's words were like a nuclear bomb, shattering long-buried memories.

The year of the earthquake, both my parents died and my younger brother went missing.

Over the years, she had been trying to find out about her brother, but she had no clue whatsoever.

They didn't even know if they were alive or dead.

She really needs someone as capable as Sheng Tingwang to help her find her long-lost younger brother.

But the death of my parents...

Wasn't he killed in the line of duty? Could there be another reason?

"What else do you know?" Her lips trembled slightly, her fingertips gripping his collar, tightening inexplicably. "Could it be that my parents weren't killed in the line of duty, but were murdered?"

The man's fingertips caressed the woman's pale face. He hadn't actually intended to say all this so soon.

But he didn't want to let her go.

Some methods have to be used. "The investigation into the earthquake from back then is being reopened, and your father's name is on it."

Wen Shuyi's eyes trembled slightly as she looked into the man's eyes. "How did you know about this?"

"The reopening of the investigation is no secret."

It wasn't a secret, so why didn't she know? "Can you help me?"

"That depends on your performance." His eyes held a hint of desire. "Wen Shuyi, when you ask someone for a favor, you should at least show some respect, don't you agree?"

Wen Shuyi understood instantly.

Exchange of benefits.

But she didn't feel she had anything worth offering in exchange with Sheng Tingwang.

"Third Master, just say it."

"Stay with me," he said.

Sheng Tingwang has a girlfriend. When he says they're together, does he mean he wants her to be his mistress?

Bed partner?

He felt so good about her that night that he wanted to maintain this relationship with her long-term.

Is this fair to Xu Chuyin?

That's so awful.

Wen Shuyi's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about what kind of answer to his question. "Third Master, please be clear. I'm not very smart. My reading comprehension is usually only around 30 points."

"It's just what you think." He didn't explain much, he just wanted to get a good night's sleep. "I'll move in tonight."

"What?" Wen Shu was unwilling. She believed that this was just an excuse Sheng Ting was using to try and sleep with her again. "Why should I believe you? I have no idea whether what you're saying is true or false. If you take advantage of me and don't help me investigate, then I'll be the one who suffers the most."

"What big loss could you possibly suffer from in a relationship? I remember that night... you wanted it several times." A roguish smile crept across the man's lips as he lightly pecked her lips. "Think about it. I'm a man of my word."

He didn't force him.

Because he knew she would come looking for him sooner or later.

Wen Shuyi blushed again.

What kind of creatures are men?

They don't even blush when they say things like that.

However, since he said he meant what he said, she was somewhat tempted.

"I need to think about it. I... I'll be going now."

……

Working at Tianjing was not an easy task.

Shen Xinwan is a cunning and scheming woman.

Xu Chuyin, who finds fault with everything about her.

Wen Shuyi lives in constant fear and trepidation, always afraid of making the slightest mistake at work and causing others to retaliate.

Even so.

There was still a problem.

"Wen Shuyi, you can't even get such a simple report right? Are you even a college graduate? You can't even do a job a high school student could handle. Did the company bring you in here just to drink coffee and kill time every day?"

Xu Chuyin threw a stack of documents directly at Wen Shuyi's face.

She still felt pain, but she didn't have time to dwell on it. She quickly bent down and picked up all the papers that had fallen to the ground. "Manager Xu, I'll go and revise them right away."

"And the coffee is so cold, how can I drink it? Let me get another one."

Xu Chuyin tapped on the table.

Wen Shuyi quickly put down the documents and went to pour her coffee.

"Manager Xu, here's your coffee." Wen Shuyi carefully placed the hot coffee on Xu Chuyin's desk. "It's a little hot, you..."

Be careful, those four words haven't been finished yet.

Xu Chuyin picked up her coffee and took a sip.

"Wen Shuyi, did you do this on purpose?" Without any hesitation, a cup of hot coffee, over 80 degrees Celsius, was poured all over Wen Shuyi's face.

"Ah..." Wen Shuyi's face turned red from the heat, and blisters formed on some of her delicate areas.

Just then.

Sheng Tingwang walked in.

Seeing this, he frowned, quickly grabbed some ice, wrapped it in a towel, and handed it to Wen Shuyi, "Freeze it first, I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Wen Shuyi was also injured.

It looks rather serious.

Sheng Tingwang picked her up with one arm and walked quickly outside, saying, "Don't be afraid, everything will be alright."

"Tingwang, where are you going..." Xu Chuyin reached out and grabbed Sheng Tingwang's arm, looking unwell. "...I, my head hurts so much..."

Sheng Tingwang ignored her.

He carried Wen Shuyi and walked very fast.

No one in the department knew what had happened.

Shen Xinwan was the only one who knew Sheng Tingwang.

"This Wen Shuyi is really good at flirting; she even managed to seduce that cripple Sheng Tingwang into the company."

A colleague standing nearby asked her, puzzled, "Was the person who was just hugging Wen Shuyi named Sheng Tingwang?"

"you do not say."

"I heard that the big boss behind our Tianjing Group is surnamed Sheng. Could it be him?"

Shen Xinwan covered her mouth and laughed, "Don't be ridiculous. Sheng Tingwang used to be a special forces soldier, but he got injured and is now useless. How could he be the boss behind the scenes? However, this Sheng Tingwang does have one identity: he is our Manager Xu's boyfriend."

A colleague seemed to have sensed something, "Then just now... did Wen Shuyi steal Manager Xu's boyfriend? No wonder Manager Xu has been looking unhappy whenever she sees Wen Shuyi lately."

Shen Xinwan smiled, "You don't understand Wen Shuyi. She's best at getting tangled up with men. No wonder Manager Xu doesn't like her. You, do you think you can stand the person who stole your boyfriend?"

The colleague nodded, "That's true. It seems that Manager Xu has restrained herself. If it were me, I would have splashed sulfuric acid in her face."
