Chapter 93 Deliberate Mention

Yu Yin felt less comfortable spending money than before, wondering if she was being too reckless. She actually felt distressed. She was starting to treat his money like her own. She suspected it was the power of the trust agreement.

But no matter how much she felt sorry for the flowers, she still spent them without hesitation.

"I've made progress. Let me see what you bought me later." Zhao Shunian held her hand. "I asked you to buy things while on vacation. Don't think too much."

The two were still holding hands. Zhao Shunian listened to Yu Yin talking about some of her experiences in Paris. He felt that the name Shang Jiawen appeared frequently.

Yu Yin brought this up on purpose. "Didn't I see you and Lian Ke'er in the garden at home before? She was the one who reminded me."

When it comes to situations like this, outsiders usually just sit back and watch, avoiding getting involved. Zhao Shunian immediately realized something was amiss and asked, "Do you guys interact a lot?"

"Not much. Usually Xiyan is there when I come into contact with her. She's very enthusiastic towards me. We hardly had any contact before."

Yu Yin didn't care much at first. Many people were enthusiastic towards her because of her identity as Mrs. Zhao, and she thought Shang Jiawen was the same. But after Ms. Jian said those words, she felt that Shang Jiawen was more purposeful.

Zhao Shunian caressed Yu Yin's slender hands, which were like peeling green onions. When he touched the cold wedding ring, his mind raced. After a moment, he said, "I think Shang Zhuoming asked her to approach you. I don't have a personal relationship with him now. He wants to follow your path."

Yu Yin thought to herself that she was taking a roundabout way to save the country. She asked, "Should Shang Jiawen and I keep our distance, or..."

"Many people who approach you have ulterior motives. Being suspicious of everyone and guarding against them will make you feel exhausted and lonely. If she doesn't harm your interests, you don't have to be so nervous. Now you are in the open, and she is in the dark."

Yu Yin put his hands on Zhao Shunian's shoulders and asked him another question: "Do you feel lonely?"

"I rarely feel this way. I'm getting busier and busier, and I don't have time to carefully reflect on my inner feelings." Zhao Shunian kneaded her earlobe. "I spend most of my free time with you now. With you like this, it's hard for me to feel bored and lonely."

Yu Yin sighed in her heart that he was indeed a workaholic. She then asked, "Why is your relationship with Shang Zhuoming not going well?"

"It was caused by that scandal. I felt that he wanted to use me, but he didn't use me well. His methods were stupid, which made me a little disappointed."

Zhao Shunian originally didn't realize that Shang Zhuoming was planning to set him up with Xu Ronghao at a friend's party, because their actions were very subtle, and he didn't take Xu Ronghao seriously at all and didn't care about her.

It was only later, because of Yu Yin's reaction, that he carefully recalled the details of the party that night and made the discovery.

On the night when Zhao Shunian was angry with Yu Yin, he asked Shang Zhuoming to explain to Yu Yin. Shang Zhuoming agreed and kept trying to clear himself and the Shang family by saying it was a misunderstanding.

This made him even more certain that Shang Zhuoming had ulterior motives at the party.

The two have known each other for so many years, and they were friends when Zhao Shunian's thoughts were not so deep and unpredictable. However, Shang Zhuoming did not understand him and made such a bad move.

Zhao Shunian's friendship with Shang Zhuoming wasn't deep; he had no close or intimate friends. What disappointed him wasn't the betrayal of friendship, but the feeling that someone was hesitant to exploit their friends, failing to accomplish their goals and drawing suspicion from their friends. This person's business tactics weren't much better, either decisive or resourceful.

He began to doubt Shang Zhuoming's ability and was skeptical about their next collaborative project.

So Zhao Xinxian expressed his interest in a European international port project during the New Year, and the conditions he proposed made Zhao Shunian excited.

A piece of cake is only so big, and he is the one who divides the cake and eats the cake. He doesn't want to be wronged by eating a small piece of cake, nor does he want to have another person to eat the cake. He thinks Zhao Xinxian is a more suitable partner, and he ruthlessly kicks the Shang family out.

Zhao Shunian was always hard to get together with, and now it was even harder. His interest in gathering with friends had dropped to zero. He was too lazy to deal with sneak attacks and plots, so he would rather be with Yu Yin, where he could relax and feel at ease...

When the scandal between Zhao Shunian and Xu Ronghao broke out, Yu Yin felt a little strange. They were not secretly married, but there was no actual evidence to say that he was married. Some people even said that he was not married. She thought it was the work of Zhao Shunian's subordinates and did not want to expand it. Now she thinks the Shang family also played a role in it.

Suddenly, Yu Yin sat upright on Zhao Shunian's lap, looking at his face carefully with his eyes, looking at him with a critical eye. He did look good, but appearance was not the most important criterion for evaluation.

Ultimately, this is a matter of interests. The beauty trap has always been effective throughout history, which is why there are so many butterflies flying around him.

Zhao Shunian saw her serious expression and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking, if you have no money and can't bring them any benefits, what do you think will happen to you?"

"The best case scenario is being deserted by everyone, the worst case scenario is an accidental death, because once you die, there is no chance to make a comeback." Zhao Shunian believes that some people have benefited from him, while others have suffered serious losses due to him, and it is not impossible for them to retaliate against him in an extreme way.

Yu Yin felt that if Zhao Shunian died, she would definitely be sad for him, and she didn't want him to die.

But death was too far away. She thought more about whether she would leave Zhao Shunian if he failed and was deserted by everyone.

Yu Yin felt that there was a high possibility that she would leave. If one day, she firmly told him that she would not leave him no matter what, she must love him very much and could not extricate herself from it.

Yu Yin couldn't help but ask Zhao Shunian: "Do you think I will be one of the ones who leaves you?"

Zhao Shunian answered her without hesitation: "You should leave. But I think it's better if you leave. There's no need to involve you."

"Zhao Shunian, are you a little bit of a saint?"

Yu Yin said this out of the blue. She had never used words like "Holy Father" to describe Zhao Shunian, but his answer was beyond her expectations. She was too embarrassed to confess her true thoughts.
