Revenge Sevenfold
Chapter 8 Happy Reunion

Thankfully, they didn't have to wait too long for Nian Zhen.

Lu Shen had barely taken another step when a slender girl suddenly threw herself at him, squealing his name.

Her hair was artfully styled, and she was wearing expensive clothing. Although a pair of sunglasses hid her eyes, her red lips were curved in a smile.

"Brother Shen, I missed you!"

For the first time since she had met him, Hui Yin saw Lu Shen's emotionless façade crack as his lips quirked into what seemed to be a small smile.

His arm patted the girl's back, seeming as happy as she was.

Although Hui Yin had already accepted that Lu Shen's heart would never be hers, her heart still twisted at seeing the happy reunion.

She was also reminded by the fact that it was Nian Zhen who had caused her death in her former life, so she had to struggle to keep the smile fixed in her face.

"You look as handsome as ever!" Nian Zhen teased.

She finally noticed Hui Yin, who was standing behind him. "And who's this? Your new assistant?"

Hui Yin suppressed her emotions and took a step forward, greeting Nian Zhen with a humble smile.

"Hello. I'm Hui Yin, Lu Shen's fiancée."

Hui Yin was observing Nian Zhen's expression closely, so this time she didn't miss the flash of hatred in the other girl's eyes.

"A fiancée?" Nian Zhen glanced at Lu Shen. "What's this? Your idea of a joke?"

Lu Shen looked at Hui Yin, his eyes unreadable.

"It's not a joke. Hui Yin is indeed my fiancée."

Nian Zhen laughed, but it sounded fake to Hui Yin's ears. Of course, it really was fake.

"Wow. It seems you're getting married before me. I see that your fiancé is really beautiful."

Hui Yin knew what to do, and laughed with her. "You're flattering me. You're more beautiful than I am, Miss Nian."

The two girls smiled at each other, both with swords drawn and bows bent.

After chatting a bit more and picking up Nian Zhen's luggage, they went to the car where driver Cheng was waiting patiently for them.

Hui Yin sat on the passenger seat, since in her previous life, she had chosen to sit with Lu Shen in the backseat and had to be subtly reminded by Nian Zhen that the two of them had a lot of catching up to do. Even Lu Shen had gazed at her in disapproval, and Hui Yin had to transfer herself to the passenger seat in embarrassment.

So to avoid a blow to her dignity, Hui Yin immediately chose to let Nian Zhen have the backseat. This action hadn't gone unnoticed by Lu Shen, who gazed at the girl in the passenger seat with an unreadable expression.

Nian Zhen secretly sneered in her heart. At least this girl knew her position!

Nian Zhen chatted with Lu Shen for the whole ride, but he seemed to be unresponsive and was gazing at the window with a stony look.

He glanced at the girl in the passenger seat from time to time, seeming to get more and more displeased each time he saw Hui Yin there with an unconcerned look in her face as she played with her phone.

She didn't seem to be paying attention to the people in the back, only looking up once in a while to check if they had arrived yet.
