"There's no need. I'll just go home and eat." When she came out just now, Shen Yin had slipped away to the hospital to see Shen Nian. By now, Lian Jing would already know that she had run away. He might be waiting at home for her to have dinner.
If he found out that she had not only disobeyed him, but had even had dinner with Cheng Huo, he would definitely fly into a rage. Then she would be the one to suffer.
Shen Yin's face grew hot at the thought of Lian Jing's bullying methods.
Cheng Huo looked up at Shen Yin and smiled awkwardly. "Surely you can stay for a meal, right? Lian Jing can't be so petty that he won't even allow you to keep Nian Nian company for a meal, right?"
When Shen Nian heard himself being used as a shield, he stood between the two of them warily. "Mom, I can take care of myself. Dad is waiting for you at home. You had better go home quickly."
