Shu Tinglan heard his concise answer of having no home, and couldn’t help but feel contempt in her heart. This man refused to tell the truth, wasn’t he just trying to protect himself from her? 。Zhuo Yu’an had made up his mind to follow her, anyway he had figured out that many things couldn’t be listened to, if he listened to everything she said, he would be finished. 。Shu Tinglan had never met anyone with such thick skin. 。He just stood there waiting for her to open the door. As soon as she moved the lock, he pushed the door open and went in. 。Being so familiar with the place, she hadn’t even reacted when he swiftly darted into the bathroom. The sound of running water filled the air. 。The composure and indifference from before were all gone, unable to bear the dirt on my body even for a second. 。For some reason, Shu Tinglan laughed. Sitting on the sofa, she flipped through the recovered documents. It was still very strange how this document ended up in the trash can. 。Jiajia’s face flashed in his mind. It was her holding this document, it was her standing beside that trash can, wasn’t it? But Shu Tinglan’s everything was just a guess. If she told Director Xiao, would Director Xiao believe her? Or would he blame her for making a mistake and scapegoating Jiajia to avoid responsibility? Jiajia’s father was Director Xiao’s major client. Even if Director Xiao believed her, could he really speak up for her? Before she figured it out, she dared not act rashly. 。We need to be more careful with Jiajia from now on. Let’s wait for the right opportunity before doing anything else. 。Zuo Yu’an had just come out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, his hair wet and dripping, his muscles solid with smooth lines. In short, he was the kind of person who made your heart race just by looking at him. 。When he came out, he was on the phone with his driver: “Come and pick up my car for a wash. Drive it back after it’s done.” 。He had been holding it in all the way, and he just threw that white shirt into the trash. 。tsk tsk, such a spendthrift, his shirt must be worth a fortune, says he’s going to throw it away 。Zuo Yu’an hung up the phone, wiping his hair as he walked towards her. 。Shu Tinglan hastily got up and ran into her bedroom, shutting the door and locking it, to prevent him from entering. 。<<
Before, it was okay to do whatever you wanted, but now it’s not allowed. >>> 。It was already late, I lay down for a while and fell asleep directly. 。Woke up in the middle of the night thirsty, went out to get a drink, and suddenly I saw someone sleeping on the couch. 。Although the spring was still cold, he only covered himself with a thin blanket on the sofa. 。To put it simply, Shu Tinglan couldn’t bear to see her like that. He went back to his room and brought a blanket, gently covering her with it. 。
Just finished, lightly preparing to leave, suddenly a strong force dragged her, and she fell down, landing right on top of him. 。He woke up early. 。It was a bit cold, the sofa was small, and he wasn’t sleeping soundly to begin with. As soon as she opened the door, he woke up. 。”Caring about me?” His voice was deep, the last “me” rising slightly with a hint of amusement, his eyes unnaturally bright in the darkness. 。Shuting Lan was held in his arms, unable to move at all. At such close proximity, their eyes met, a truly captivating sight. 。Listen carefully, don’t be swayed any longer. This man is dangerous and not right for you. 。She encouraged herself and struggled to climb off of him. 。”You froze to death in my house, I can’t be held responsible.” 。”Zuo Yu’an just smiled: ‘Don’t worry about it, I did it willingly.'” 。He didn’t press her, watching as she seemed to run back to her room a little defeated. 。Late at night, under the covers I was no longer cold, but I couldn’t fall asleep anymore. I stayed up until dawn and wanted to make her breakfast. 。As soon as I opened the fridge door, I was dumbfounded. 。The refrigerator is completely empty, it’s actually cleaner than a brand new one. 。In the freezer, all the frozen food he had bought for her was gone. 。。She listened to the sound, her face filled with anger as she looked at him. “Why haven’t you left yet?” She was already dressed and ready to go, grabbed the files on the table and was about to leave. 。”I can’t give you the file yet, I need it.” 。Let’s go to the company together, I’ll buy you breakfast on the way. 。”You’re such a grown man, what do you live for?”
He mumbled, completely forgetting that Shu Tinglan had said they wouldn’t associate anymore. The coldness from the other day was as if it never happened. 。Upon encountering Shu Tinglan, he had no choice but to admit defeat and choose amnesia instead. 。But Shu Tinglan wouldn’t have it. Her words were golden, many things aren’t nonexistent just because you don’t mention them. 。She had her bag slung over her shoulder, standing at the doorway looking at Zhuo Yuran, very calm: “Have you stopped seeing Wen Jian? Stopped contacting him?”It was a simple choice. With her, there was no Wen Jian. With Wen Jian, there was no her. 。Zuo Yu’an was very frustrated. He had never been pressured like this before! He always had his own principles and way of doing things, he didn’t like being arranged, but with Shu Tinglan, he was helpless and could only reply:
“Give me time” 。“Although there wasn’t romantic love between him and Wen Jian, their friendship and the company interests were not things that could be severed so easily.” 。Humans, when rational, also have a scale in their hearts. One side is Shu Tinglan, and the other is Wen Jian and company interests. He has never been a person who indulges in romantic feelings. Over so many years, he hasn’t even had a serious relationship, focusing all his energy on work. Work is his everything. 。When he’s rational, Libra is definitely at work. But when it comes to Shu Tinglan, he loses all reason and treats her like a princess, serving her with glee. When he’s happy doing so, there’s no room for rationality left. 。Otherwise, look, is this something a person could do? They’re treating her like an imbecile, wanting to spoon-feed her every bite. They spend their days worrying about her, worried she won’t eat enough, sleep well, be wronged, or be unhappy. They arrange everything for her. 。Give me time. 。”
Shu Tinglan had expected this to be his answer. ” 。Actually, the other day, Lin Zhixuan wrote a private message to his Weibo account under the name of a netizen, telling the story of her, Wen Jian, and Zhu Yunan. 。Lin Zhi’s didn’t make any comments, she was very neutral, just sent screenshots of private messages to her fans. 。
The story is brief and impartial. 。<<
Private message content:
“Sister, I have a friend who met a high school classmate at a gathering. This high school classmate is very outstanding and a top performer in the industry. My friend is very pretty, but her family’s financial situation is average >>> 。They fell asleep together and had feelings for each other. When the friend was about to confess their feelings, they discovered that the male classmate had a longtime girlfriend who was also his confidante in his career and indispensable to him. 。What’s more, this confidante and my friend have a messy past. She is the illegitimate daughter of my friend’s father. 。”Sister, should my friend confess to this male classmate? Or is it better to break up?”Describing it very objectively and without taking any stance, Lin Zhixiao only took a screenshot and asked: What do you guys think?Lin Zhixiao has hundreds of thousands of followers on Weibo and there’s always a lot of interaction. However, in just over an hour, there were hundreds of comments: “Friendship out of thin air series, are you this friend?”
