Roses in Flames

Xiao Lin ignored Ye Yuntang and focused on repairing the car.

He was tall and strong, with clearly defined back muscles when he bent over, revealing a powerful explosive force.

She really couldn't understand Bai Chuwei. How could she give up on a man like Xiao Lin who was so good in bed?

She and Fu Shili had been married for two years but had never consummated their marriage.

Because Fu Shili had been in a car accident and suffered damage, he had been undergoing secret treatment.

During that time, Fu Shili wanted her to have a child through in vitro fertilization.

She resolutely refused.

She doesn't even have sex, yet you want her to have a child? Dream on!

She didn't know whether Bai Chuwei's pregnancy with Fu Shili's child was natural or through IVF, but she felt that Bai Chuwei's separation from Xiao Lin was a great loss for Bai Chuwei.

Xiao Lin's waist strength is definitely greater than Fu Shili's.

If Xiao Lin weren't the captain of the criminal investigation team in her new unit, but instead the top male escort at the club, that would be perfect.

In that case, she could support him for several years.

As Ye Yuntang was lost in thought, Xiao Lin's phone rang.

Xiao Lin's phone was in his pants pocket, but his hands were covered in engine oil, making it difficult to hold.

"Captain Xiao, do you need me to get your phone?"

Xiao Lin glanced at Ye Yuntang, who had a wicked smile playing on her lips, his eyes dark and unfathomable. "Dream on."

The ringing stopped after a while.

But less than half a minute later, it rang again.

The person on the other end seemed to have something urgent to discuss with Xiao Lin, as they made several phone calls in a row.

She seemed determined to keep calling if he didn't answer.

Xiao Lin was worried that there might be an emergency at work, and he was inconvenient to deal with it himself, so he glanced at Ye Yuntang and said, "Left pocket."

Ye Yuntang crossed her arms, a half-smile on her face, and said, "Beg me."

"Ye Yuntang, stop fooling around."

Ye Yuntang slowly walked to the man's left and glanced into his pocket.

"Captain Xiao, I'm going in now."

Xiao Lin, "..."

Ye Yuntang's slender white fingers slowly reached towards the man's trouser pocket.

Soon, she found his phone.

But she didn't take it out immediately. Remembering how angry she was with him that morning, she deliberately poked the man's thigh muscle with her fingertip.

"Ye, Yun, Tang!" A dark flame flickered in the man's long eyes, his features as hard as if carved by a knife.

Ye Yuntang withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"Sorry," she winked at him, "I didn't mean to."

Xiao Lin's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. "If there's a next time, I'll cripple your hands."

Ye Yuntang glanced at his abdomen. "You're so sensitive."

Xiao Lin gritted his teeth, "Ye Yuntang!"

Seeing that he was about to get angry, she quickly handed him her phone.

The phone number that kept calling started calling again.

Ye Yuntang scanned the caller ID.

Yo.

It's Bai Chuwei again.

Ye Yuntang pressed the answer button for Xiao Lin and put the call on speakerphone.

This time, she wasn't in the mood to provoke Bai Chuwei with her sweet and coquettish voice.

"Xiao Lin, what are you doing? I've been waiting for you at the coffee shop for more than ten minutes. I have a date with Brother Shili later."

"Wait ten more minutes. If you can't wait, then leave." Xiao Lin's tone was extremely cold and stern.

"Okay, I'll wait for you for another ten minutes. Hurry up and come over."

The call was disconnected.

Ye Yuntang put the phone back in Xiao Lin's SUV.

She stopped talking to him, and her attitude became much more distant and indifferent.

After the car was repaired, Ye Yuntang handed Xiao Lin a wet wipe and a bottle of mineral water.

After washing his hands, Xiao Lin returned to his SUV.

"I'll transfer the money for the car repair to you later," she said in a businesslike manner.

"No need."

Looking at the man's cold and sharp profile, Ye Yuntang couldn't help but ask, "Do you like Bai Chuwei that much? She's practically turned you into a green meadow, and you still associate with her."

Xiao Lin started the engine. "This is none of your business."

After saying that, the SUV sped away.

Ye Yuntang didn't have time to back away and ended up with a mouthful of exhaust fumes.

She stood with her hands on her hips, watching the SUV speed away, her back teeth practically grinding to powder.

dog man.

You probably drank Sanlu milk powder when you were a kid, right? They spoke so rudely.

……

Cafe.

Bai Chuwei handed a cardboard box to Xiao Lin.

"These are the letters you wrote to me when you were in police academy, and the gifts you sent me. Now I'm returning them all to you."

Xiao Lin took the box, glanced at its contents, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao Lin, although we made a promise when we were young that we would get married when we grew up, we've tried, and our personalities and other aspects are not compatible. Don't blame me for being realistic."

A criminal investigation captain simply cannot provide her with the life of a wealthy wife that she desires.

Xiao Lin stared at Bai Chuwei with deep, cold eyes. "You don't deserve his affection."

Bai Chuwei frowned. "Xiao Lin, what do you mean?"

She and Xiao Lin were from the same village when they were young, but the Xiao family moved away and the two hadn't seen each other for more than ten years.

It wasn't until Xiao Lin went to university that the two reconnected through social media.

Xiao Lin attended a closed police academy, and the two talked online for a year.

They met in person later.

To be honest, when she first saw Xiao Lin after he grew up, she was truly amazed by his beauty.

Unexpectedly, he grew up to be tall, handsome, cool, and very charismatic.

At first, she genuinely wanted to have a serious relationship with him.

But every time we met in person, he refused to take the initiative to hold hands, hug, or kiss.

The two seemed to be having a Platonic love affair.

If there is no physical contact, at least make her satisfied materially.

She followed him back to the Xiao family. His parents had both died, leaving only a deaf and blind grandmother.

Her family was dirt poor, they had nothing, and he was cold and indifferent to her, without the slightest bit of affection.

She offered herself to him and he was so stunned he couldn't even sit up.

Fortunately, she met Fu Shili, who could fulfill all her fantasies.

However, she still felt a little regretful that she never got to have Xiao Lin.

"Xiao Lin, have you ever liked me?"

Xiao Lin's dark eyes remained calm and expressionless. He pursed his thin lips and said, "No."

Bai Chuwei was so angry that her face turned ashen. If Xiao Lin hadn't had such a powerful aura, she would have thrown the coffee in his face.

She picked up her bag and stormed off.

After Bai Chuwei left, Xiao Lin picked up a letter from the box. His eyes were heavy with complex emotions. "Is a woman like this worth your time? This is all I can do for you."

……

Ye Yuntang did not return to her rented apartment over the weekend.

She slept with her mother on Friday night, and on Saturday daytime, she went to her mother's cheongsam shop.

Every cheongsam in the shop was designed, cut, and embroidered by her mother herself.

Six years ago, my father went on a business trip abroad and encountered riots, and then disappeared.

Two years ago, my older sister died tragically.

The successive blows nearly broke her mother.

Fortunately, she and her younger brother, as well as this cheongsam shop, can occasionally distract their mother.

Xiao Wei came over as soon as the store opened.

Xiao Wei was very surprised to see Ye Yuntang. "Sister Yuntang, is this cheongsam shop owned by your mother?"

Ye Yuntang nodded. "Yes, what style do you like?"

"A friend of mine has a birthday coming up soon, and she really likes hand-embroidered cheongsams. I'd like to pick one out for her. Her figure is similar to Sister Yuntang's. Could you help her try one on?"

Ye Yuntang nodded, "No problem."

Before long, Ye Yuntang put on the dark green cheongsam that Xiao Wei had chosen.

The stand-up collar with its knotted buttons encased her slender, fair neck, her full chest, and her slim waist. The high slit revealed glimpses of her long, slender, white legs.

Xiao Wei's eyes were filled with amazement. "Sister Yun Tang, you are so beautiful, your figure is amazing, I'm about to get a nosebleed."

Xiao Wei picked up her phone and couldn't resist taking a few photos of Ye Yuntang.

"Sister Yuntang, the cheongsams designed by Auntie are so beautiful. I want to post them on WeChat Moments and recommend this hidden gem of a shop to my friends."

"it is good."

Ye Yuntang struck a pose and posed for several photos with Xiao Wei.

After Xiaowei finished taking the photos, she posted them on her WeChat Moments.

……

weekend.

Cheng Lei is on duty.

Xiao Lin came to the office in the morning. As soon as he entered, he heard Cheng Lei exclaim, "Holy crap, Sister Yun Tang is absolutely gorgeous!"

As Xiao Lin passed by Cheng Lei, he happened to see the photo that Cheng Lei had opened.

The woman wore a well-tailored dark green cheongsam, her hair was styled in a bun, her skin was snow-white, her lips were bright red, and she had a petite figure, making her look both beautiful and alluring.

Those peach blossom eyes, gazing at the camera, were shimmering and alluring, captivating without the person even realizing it.

One glance was enough to make his lower abdomen feel warm.

Hey!

Xiao Lin cursed under his breath and strode toward his office.

That woman is truly toxic!
