Chapter 966: Master Sheng Becomes Jealous Again (1)

[Master Sheng, I’ve heard that your family has encountered some trouble recently. Do you need my help?]

A message popped up on Zhai Yunsheng’s computer screen.

The person that was messaging Zhai Yunsheng used a golden symbol as their profile picture.

Upon receiving this message, Zhai Yunsheng replied: [No need.]

[Master Sheng, there’s no need to be polite with me. We’re members of the same association. Therefore, I know your family’s capabilities. Naturally, you’re not weaker than the Qin family. However, if you were to fight against them, wouldn’t you want to reduce your losses? That’d be beneficial for you.]

[That’s my business. I don’t need you to interfere in this.]

[Alright. If you need anything, feel free to message me.]

As Zhai Yunsheng looked at his computer screen, a frown appeared on his face.

He was frowning because his fiancee ran off on her own to solve the problem herself. She did not even discuss the matter with him.

Instead of talking to him, she went off to find her friends for help.

Whenever something happened, she would turn to her friends for help and not him. Therefore, this made Zhai Yunsheng somewhat envious of her friends.

And hence, there was a small voice in Zhai Yunsheng’s mind that was constantly asking him the question: Did Yiling like him romantically?

At this moment, the door of the apartment opened. Jian Yiling had returned.

Zhai Yunsheng closed his laptop and looked towards the door of his study.

After a while, Jian Yiling entered the study room. She looked at Zhai Yunsheng before she took her seat. It was as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened today.

The two of them were silent for a long period of time.

Finally, Zhai Yunsheng was unable to hold back his questions: “Did anything… Happen at the police station?”

“Nope. I discussed the case with Superintendent Ruan,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Then… About that matter…” Zhai Yunsheng stuttered. Typically, Zhai Yunsheng was not afraid of anything. However, in front of Jian Yiling, even asking a question became difficult.

“Hmm?” Jian Yiling asked as she raised her head to look at Zhai Yunsheng. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she waited for him to finish his sentence.

“About Qin Chuan. He wrongly accused him. How do you plan to deal with the matter?”

“He’s not someone who can’t distinguish right from wrong,” Jian Yiling replied. This answer was not only because Qin Chuan was the male lead from the original novel, but also because of Qin Chuan’s attitude and actions towards things in the past three years.

“Do you trust him?” Zhai Yunsheng asked with a frown.

He knew that Qin Chuan held a special position in Jian Yiling’s heart.

However, for her to say such a thing in front of him… He felt a small hint… A very small hint… Of jealousy…

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied. She did not notice Zhai Yunsheng’s expression change.

“And so?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. “If he wants to fight the Zhai family, should I help him? Should I just let him succeed?”

“Huh?” Jian Yiling responded. Now, she was even more puzzled.

“Don’t you trust him a lot? Therefore, you don’t want him to get hurt right? If that’s the case, shouldn’t I help him?”

“But… You’re more important. The Zhai family is more important,” Jian Yiling answered.

Jian Yiling felt as though Qin Chuan was hiding something from her. However, this matter was separate from everything else. It wasn’t related to whether she wanted the Qin family to win or the Zhai family to win.

In Jian Yiling’s heart, the Zhai family was definitely more important than the Qin family. They couldn’t even be compared on the same level.

“Mm-hmm,” Zhai Yunsheng responded with a grunt.

“You’re acting weird,” Jian Yiling said.

“Am I?”

Zhai Yunsheng looked away and directed his eyes back to his computer, “You’re probably just misunderstanding. I was just discussing these matters with you. I guess I don’t want to run into another clash with you.”

Zhai Yunsheng still remembered the incident that occurred in the Hanging Gardens Hotel.
