Cheng Yixue immediately looked aggrieved. "Mr. Shen, are you blaming me for taking so long to thank you? I wanted to come sooner, but I never knew who had saved me. Neither Mr. Cameron nor Director Qiao would breathe a word about it. I only managed to tease a few clues out of them after asking roundabout questions again and again. I know saving me was a very small matter to you, Mr. Shen. I even hesitated over whether to thank you in person, but in the end, I couldn't get past it. I couldn't pretend it had never happened."
"Uh..." Shen Bing suspected Cheng Yixue was telling the truth. Neither Cameron nor Vice Mayor Qiao would have revealed his identity. But the girl before him was highly intelligent and perceptive, so she probably really had coaxed the information out of them.
It seemed he had misjudged those two earlier.
"How could I blame you?" Shen Bing said. "I have an important research and development project underway, and time is tight. There's no one else at home to entertain you, either, so I'm afraid I can't ask you to stay."
Cheng Yixue smiled radiantly. "That's a relief, Mr. Shen. I know you're busy, so I won't take up any more of your time. But I do have one small request. I hope you'll agree."
"What is it?"
"Could you send me a copy of the photo you took at the Phantom Spirit Phone launch on the third?"
Of course, Shen Bing knew that the beauty he had singled out at the launch that day was Cheng Yixue. He had taken a photo of her with the Phantom Spirit Phone he was unveiling.
He just hadn't expected her to ask him for that photo. It was hardly a big deal.
