Chapter 131: Chance Encounter

uch a large responsibility.Meanwhile, Fu Shanyi suggested continuing to rely on headhunters for recommendations.The HR Director wore a difficult expression. There were some things he didn't want to sa...All three people at the table were stunned. This could happen From now on, they must never gossip about others behind their backs.

"Mr. Shu, what a coincidence" Zhuo Yu'an smiled and greeted him.

It's a coincidence, Shu Tinglan said that he was having dinner with his colleagues tonight and wouldn't be eating at home. He was bored by himself so he invited Lu Kuò, and it turned out they were both meeting at the same restaurant.

Seeing her, the smile at the corner of his eyes couldn't be hidden. Especially seeing her shocked expression, he was in a particularly good mood.

Lu Kuo arrived a few steps later than him, and when he came over, he saw Shu Tinglan and called out to him directly.

"Fate, fate, two beautiful ladies, mind if we share a table"

Zhang Jing and Zhao Miaogé were still confused, stunned by the appearance of the two handsome guys before they could even answer. They were already seated, one on each side of Lawyer Shu.

Of course Zhuo Yunan and the others knew about Lu Kuo. They were quite familiar with him, as he was supposedly the real heir to Jing Financial. This project was also introduced by him to Lawyer Shu.

They originally thought it was a rumor, but seeing how familiar these two were with Lawyer Shu, it seemed not to be groundless.

Shu Tinglan managed to restrain the urge to kick them out, all thanks to her good manners. Were they really here to cause trouble She invited her colleagues for a meal, what business did they have showing up

"You guys are in charge of listening to Whale Finance's acquisition project now, it's our own people, I'll treat you to this meal, order whatever you like." Lu Kuo said casually.

“The two lawyers will be working with us, following Ms. Shu’s lead. Please bear with her, as she can be quite difficult. If she bullies you, let me know and I'll give her a talking to.”

"No, Lawyer Shu is very professional and a nice person. We get along well."

Zhang Jing and Zhao Miaogé hurriedly answered, listening to Lu Kuò's tone, this was a family

While Zhu Yu'an seemed leisurely, sitting there motionless with a faint smile. His hand under the table grasped Shu Tinglan's hand, playing with it in his palm.

Shu Tinglan was furious. Pretending to pour drinks for them, she quickly withdrew her hand and kept both hands on the table ever since, never letting go.

"We were high school classmates, so we know each other pretty well." She explained proactively, otherwise the current situation would only lead to more rumors.

Zhang Jing and Zhao Miaogé weren't fools either. Seeing this situation, they couldn't just think of them as classmates. Recalling the rumors from before, they thought to themselves, "Shū Lawyer is still quite capable. He managed to deal with Zhuo Yǔan and Lù Kuò. In the future, projects will definitely come one after another" Of course, this was also a testament to her abilities, nothing to be faulted.

In this world, everyone takes what they need. If you seek benevolence, you get benevolence. Shu wants a successful career, and they want comfort. However, it's inevitable that they will look down on her in their hearts.

Shu Tinglan naturally knew that the image she had painstakingly built up had collapsed in an instant. Looking at Zhuo Yu'an, she couldn't help but feel a hint of resentment.

After dinner, they left the restaurant and said goodbye to each other.

Zhuo Yu'an then called Brother Chen to drive his car, he wanted to take Shu Tinglan's car home.

Shu Tinglan refused: "My little car doesn't match your noble status, you should still drive your own car."

"Angry What a coincidence," he said, taking a step forward and trapping her between the car door and his arm.

Earlier at the dinner table, she kept her distance from him, even moving closer to Lu Kuo's side rather than staying near him. He had endured all night and now just wanted to hug her.

Shu Tinglan leaned back against the car door, forced to look up at him. She saw the clear intention in his eyes and hastily covered her lips with both hands in defense.

"Zoe...are you afraid of me" He lowered his head, his voice filled with amusement.

Reached out and took her hands in mine, assuming a familiar position with my hands controlling hers. Then I leaned down and kissed her.

Being pressed against the car door, her hands were also controlled. Shu Tinglan couldn't move at all, she could only let him kiss her.

Because this was her first time being so intimate outdoors, Shū Tínglán's heart was pounding. Fortunately, it was nighttime, so she couldn't tell how red her face was.

After a long while, Zhuo Yu an finally let go of her. She turned around and hurriedly opened the car door to sit in the driver's seat, trying to calm her racing heart.

Zuo Yu sat into the passenger seat, uncharacteristically silent. After all, he had put himself in this awkward position. What was he thinking kissing her outside of the car Now it seemed like he was the one suffering.

Shu Tinglan was already very skilled at driving, but with Zhuo Y uan sitting beside her, looking at her with a bitter and resentful expression—oh, no, she meant looking at her with eyes that wanted to devour her alive—she felt flustered. On the way, she almost ran a red light, but luckily she arrived home safely in the end.

As they rode the elevator, Zhuo Yu'an, who had been silent throughout the journey, suddenly spoke.

"The car is a little small!"

Shu Tinglan pondered for a second, and instantly understood the meaning behind his words.

"Zhu Yu'an, is your head full of yellow trash right now...."

"Yes." He admitted readily, so frankly that Shu Tinglan wanted to retort, but his words got tangled and he couldn't say anything more.

As soon as Shu Tinglan stepped out of the elevator, Zhuo Yu'an made her understand what it meant to have one's mind filled with yellow waste. Usually, Shu Tinglan could refuse him by saying she had to go to work tomorrow.

But

"Tomorrow is the weekend," he mumbled, not giving her a chance to refuse.

Even if tomorrow is the weekend, you don't have to overdo it tonight. She's having a tough time.

Actually, she doesn't have a real weekend now. She wants to split her time in half for the project. She carefully examines every contract of artists under Huahua Entertainment, just in case she misses important information.

Some may be unknown 18th-tier actors now, but you never know which project could suddenly make them popular stars. So, contracts need to be carefully reviewed and nothing can be overlooked.

Zhuo Yu'an saw that she seemed to have wandered off somewhere, unable to help but doubt his own charm. What made matters worse was the woman beneath him still wore an expression of impatience.

"This is how many times" she was too drained to care, all she wanted to do was fall asleep.

He leaned down and kissed her damp forehead, then her lips, his eyes full of tenderness, his movements suddenly becoming more hurried. Shu Tinglan's attention was drawn back, and in that last moment, she felt like her soul had scattered, floating in mid-air, unable to come back down for a long time.

"I love you, Shu Tinglan!" He wouldn't let go of her, holding her tightly.

"Once upon a time."

This was the first time he had been so direct with his affections. Shū Tínglan's eyes were wet, whether from sweat or tears trickling down from her temples, it was hard to tell.

She believes his love is true, but she never says "I love you" to him because she knows that every love has its own order.

For example, how would you rank the love that her father, mother, Wenjian, and Wenlan had for her in that year

Teacher He has found a lot of data, each one is stored in her encrypted cloud drive. She doesn't know what Zhuo Yu'an will choose when all the data is revealed.

She, Wen Jian, Zhuoyuan Technology! What would his order of love be likeack later to give to his old man at home.He was so depressed. Zuo Yu'an suddenly had these adorable twins, his father was practically crying tears of joy. Now whenever he sees him, he urges him to fi...
