On her way back to the office, Wen Sheng was in a daze.
The moment Song Yu'en stepped into the room, she knew he was lying. His relaxed demeanor seemed too deliberate. He'd forgotten that before she became a venture capitalist, Wen Sheng had been a lawyer. She joined Hongquan Firm straight out of grad school, so her discernment was exceptional.
The watch she found in the room later only corroborated the fact that Song Yu'en was lying.
Perhaps Song Yu'en didn't know that on those days when Fu Yanlin stayed at Wen Sheng's place, he would often place his watch on the bathroom counter before showering. The counter would have water stains, and Wen Sheng would always clean it for him. How could she not recognize it?
Wen Sheng had seen him wear several other watches, but that IWC was neither the most expensive nor was it absent.
Did he save her and then hide, fearing her persistent entanglement?
