Arrested for impersonating a powerful figure's girlfriend, but forced into a formal relationshi

Yun Miao's pupils suddenly contracted.

Gu Shuang's "brother"...could it be Sheng Yinian?!

She was instantly terrified by the thought and turned to run back.

He had only taken two steps when a low voice sounded from behind him: "Yun Miao."

Yunmiao's body stiffened, and her legs came to an abrupt stop without her conscious thought.

Run! Run!

My brain gave my legs a lot of orders, but my legs were cowards and didn't dare to move.

Left with no other choice, Yunmiao stiffened and slowly turned around.

"Ahem." She cleared her still slightly uncomfortable throat. "What a coincidence, you're eating here too."

Sheng Yinian put away his phone and walked towards her.

With his aloof and detached demeanor, it was hard for Yun Miao to connect the person in front of her with the man Gu Shuang had spoken to on the phone.

But people are complex, and who can guarantee that they won't have another side?

Sheng Yinian stopped in front of her, his figure looming over her.

"Why are you running when you see me?"

"No...no..."

Seeing his gaze grow colder, Yun Miao tilted her head back and forced a smile.

"Your appearance was a bit sudden; I was a little nervous."

Sheng Yinian's gaze was fixed on her.

"Is it nervousness or panic?"

His question sent alarm bells ringing in Yun Miao's head.

"Um... Xixi and Jiang Xiao are still waiting for me in the private room, I'll head back now."

She turned to run, but Sheng Yinian grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"What were you thinking when you saw me just now?"

Yunmiao was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

She felt like she was invisible in front of Sheng Yinian.

At the same time, she realized that if she didn't answer the question properly, he definitely wouldn't let her leave.

Since that's the case, it's better to be straightforward.

"Ahem, well..."

Her face turned bright red as soon as she opened her mouth.

"You are..." Her mouth opened and closed for a long time, but she was still too embarrassed to ask too clearly, "Are you...that person's...brother?"

Sheng Yinian frowned slightly, his sharp gaze lingering on her rosy face for a moment before he took her hand and led her to a private room not far away.

As he passed a waiter, he whispered, "A glass of honey water, please."

Yun Miao was led by Sheng Yinian into the private room.

There were two men and one woman inside the private room. Hearing the noise at the door, they all turned to look.

"sister in law?"

One of the gentle and refined men stood up with a smile.

"So that's why Seventh Brother was gone for so long, he ran into his sister-in-law."

Upon hearing the words "sister-in-law," Yun Miao immediately recognized the person as the one who had called her "sister-in-law" at the mahjong table in Yongxi Pavilion that day.

His name seems to be Huo Chengqian.

She had heard Jiang Xiao mention that this person was Huo Binglan's brother.

Yunmiao nodded politely to him.

There was also a cold and aloof man at the table, whom Yun Miao had never seen before.

"Sister-in-law." The man stood up and nodded slightly to Yun Miao. "I am Cheng Wang."

"Hello, I'm Yunmiao."

Senior Sister Gu Shuang stood next to Cheng Wang.

It's obvious who the "older brother" is.

Yunmiao was so embarrassed that she started frantically picking at her fingers, but she still had a slight smile on her face.

"Senior," she called softly.

"Mm." Gu Shuang nodded.

The two exchanged only a glance before tacitly looking away.

Gu Shuang looked at Cheng Wang.

"I just came to take a look. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, I'll take you."

Cheng Wang put his arm around Gu Shuang's waist and walked out of the private room.

As Yunmiao watched the two figures disappear, she mentally brought the matter to a perfect close.

Handsome man and beautiful woman, perfect.

Huo Chengqian's gaze darted back and forth between Yun Miao and Sheng Yinian, then he suddenly stood up, took the phone, and walked out.

"Sister-in-law, please have a seat. I'll call my fiancée back."

"it is good."

After Huo Chengqian left, the private room immediately fell silent.

Yun Miao felt embarrassed to look at Sheng Yinian and didn't know how to explain the matter to him.

Fortunately, Sheng Yinian didn't ask any questions, but simply took her hand and led her towards the dining table.

Yun Miao breathed a small sigh of relief.

When his gaze fell on their clasped hands, he instantly felt a surge of emotion.

On Sheng Yinian's slender fingers, there was a row of messy, red nail marks.

So, the hand she was awkwardly picking at just now... was Sheng Yinian's hand?!

She scratched her thumbnail until it hurt, but he didn't react at all.

This is a mess.

Fortunately, she usually keeps her nails short because she finds long nails inconvenient for typing.

Upon arriving at the dining table, Sheng Yinian pulled out the chair for the head of the table, gesturing for her to sit down.

After Yunmiao sat down, she pointed to his hand and said, "Excuse me."

Sheng Yinian didn't say anything, but just smiled and rubbed her small, round thumbnail.

He pulled out a chair and sat down next to her.

Just then, the waiter brought in a glass of honey water.

Sheng Yinian took it, tested the temperature with the back of his hand, and handed it to Yun Miao: "Drink it."

"Thank you." Yun Miao accepted the drink with both hands and took a sip.

The warm honey water slid down my throat, and the sweet but not cloying honey aroma spread.

The discomfort in my throat gradually subsided, and I felt much more relaxed.

She sipped her drink slowly, her gaze occasionally sweeping across the table, lingering briefly on a plate of yellow crab.

With its rich, glossy roe, thin shell, and tender meat, it's clearly a top-quality, first-hand yellow oil crab.

It's amazing to be able to eat this quality butter crab in the spring.

Luxury, truly luxury.

Sheng Yinian watched her finish the honey water sip by sip, then took the glass from her.

"Want some more?"

Yunmiao shook her head.

Sheng Yinian placed the water glass on the dining table and turned to look at him.

Yunmiao realized he had something to say, so she sat up obediently.

"Is there anything you'd like to know about me?"

Yun Miao was taken aback, not expecting him to ask that question.

She wanted to say no, but hesitated slightly.

"I can't think of anything right now."

She couldn't help feeling nervous when she was alone with him.

All she wants now is to leave the private room.

Sheng Yinian glanced at her, his expression indifferent.

"Then think about it here slowly."

After saying that, he put on gloves and picked up a butter crab.

The gloves were thin, revealing clean, slender hands.

Remove the shell, remove the meat, and extract the roe.

His movements were unhurried and graceful, his fingers deft and elegant, a truly pleasing sight.

The crab meat and crab roe were precisely extracted and arranged on a white porcelain plate.

It wasn't until he took off his gloves that Yunmiao realized she had been staring at him in a daze.

Sheng Yinian turned around and met her gaze, which she hadn't had time to look away from.

"Have you thought it through?"
