ind. She cursed and cursed until she fell asleep, unlike other girls who would be unable to sleep because of anger.So Gu Ruandong sent her dozens of messages explaining, but they all went unanswered.I...Shu Tinglan looked up at the window, seeing her clothes from last night hanging on the balcony, along with his. The air was filled with a faint scent of laundry detergent.

So, he last night, also threw the two people in the bathroom's clothes wash

This... is way too gentlemanly. If they weren't sleeping buddies, but actually boyfriend and girlfriend, she would probably fall head over heels for him. She always has a soft spot for gentle and caring men.

It's a pity.

Shu Tinglan was lost in thought, completely oblivious to the fact that neither of them were wearing pajamas and it was still early morning. Zhu Yu'an's breathing had already become heated.

He rolled over and pinned her down.

Shū Tīnglàn cried out in surprise, his voice trailing off at the end.

Last night, as well as the first night, because it was evening, she could ask to turn off the lights and not have to look at each other's expressions. However, now it was morning, the sun had just come out, and the curtains were not drawn. Shu Tinglan felt a little embarrassed. She looked at him, and he was also looking at her, his eyes both impatient and full of tenderness, their gazes locked together.

Shu Tinglan thought, this way it was easy to make people feel like he deeply loved her. She could only say, this man was too good, must be a veteran in love affairs. Every action, every look made women feel like they were being cherished and respected. It wasn't at all like an emotionless exercise. Who could resist that By the time Zhuo YUAN finished, it was already bright outside. Shu Tinglan didn't have time to think much, enduring the soreness throughout her body, she quickly got up and prepared to go to work.

Two people took the elevator downstairs and stood at the door.

"I'm giving this to you," he said.

"No, there's a subway station right in front of my apartment complex." Shu Tinglan refused without hesitation. Taking the subway during rush hour was definitely more convenient, and besides, she didn't want him to drive her to work. She ran towards the subway station, leaving him behind.

During rush hour, the subway was packed. She waited for two trains before she could barely squeeze in. There were so many people that it felt like they would float away. People were crammed together, bodies touching, and she just managed to hold onto the handrail to avoid falling.

Although the subway has ventilation, it's too crowded and the air doesn't smell good. Looking at the advertisements in the dark tunnel outside the window, she thought aimlessly, when would she be able to buy a car

If Director Xiao can successfully win the project from Zhuo Yu'an Technology, and she works on it with him, after gaining this experience, she will be able to independently take charge of projects in the future, and her income will gradually increase.

If the income goes up, first get my mother a better hospital, then save money to buy a car. In this city of Senzhou, they are all ants. Year after year, slowly making their way up. It will get better eventually, right

She was so lost in thought that when the subway reached the next station and slowed down, her inertia caused her to lean left. She grabbed the handrail with all her might, but unfortunately, bad luck would have it, the strap of the handrail snapped… right off….

If she hadn't pulled so hard just now, the inertia of the subway stopping wouldn't have made her fall. But all her weight was on the pull ring just now. When the ring suddenly broke, there was no way to avoid her falling to the left, and it's very likely that she would have knocked over people on her left side.

Just when she was at her wit's end, a force gently supported her from behind.

"Beware!"

It's actually Zhuo YUAN When did he get on the subway

At this moment, she stood there frozen, her head turning to look at Zhu Yu'an behind her. Her hand still held the broken pull ring, and he was gently supporting her waist with both hands.

So embarrassing!

She would rather have died from the fall and made the social news than be seen in such a ridiculous way by Zhuo Yunan.

"You... how did you end up taking the subway"

"Taking the subway is eco-friendly." He answered softly, then braced her with a slight push of his hand, and took the broken handle from her grasp.

Because of the crowds on the train and subway, she was unsteady on her high heels with no handrail to hold onto. It was a really unlucky day.

But soon, Zhu YUAN took advantage of his height, placing one hand on the top pull bar and standing behind her to shield her from the crowd. For the nine-station journey behind, she stood steadily in front of him.

The smell of the subway had dissipated, leaving only the clean and pleasant scent on him. Oh right, no wonder this smell was familiar, he used her toiletries this morning, and his clothes still held the scent of her laundry detergent.

She exited the subway station, and Zhuo Yu'an followed suit. The two walked separately, one after the other. Shu Tinglan couldn't help but feel a little wishful thinking, wondering if he had deliberately accompanied her on the subway.

Only when she saw his driver and assistant at the subway entrance did it dawn on her that he had gone to the nearby financial district for a meeting, just at the same subway station.

Because she had her driver and assistant, she didn't even say hello, and quickly walked towards Hongzheng Law Firm.

She had just sat down when Jiajia burst in, full of energy and excitement, before she even opened her computer.

"Guess who I saw at the subway exit just now"

"Who is it"

Several colleagues looked at Jiajia, but only Shu Tinglan remained still. Ever since Jiajia blamed her for the food project in Qining last time, she had avoided interacting with Jiajia proactively. Shu Tinglan was willing to accept fair competition, but she would never accept underhanded tactics, so on a daily basis, she only dealt with Jiajia professionally, not even bothering with superficial politeness.

Jiajia was very good at setting the mood in conversations, piquing everyone's curiosity, even Zhou Ming looked up at her.

Jiajia waved her phone in front of everyone's eyes and said happily,

"Zuo Yuan Technology's CEO, Zhuo Zong, he actually takes the subway."

A ripple of shock went through the office. Zhu Yuyan was now their M&A team's key client, every move she made had them on edge.

"No way, what's his background Would he take the subway"

"Didn't you look at it wrong"

People question Jiajia.

"It's really him, I even took some pictures of him. Look."

"He's so handsome."

Even his back view is so handsome!

The focus shifted instantly, especially the administrative staff and the front desk girl whose eyes sparkled with excitement. The lawyers, however, remained composed and didn't join in the commotion.

Shu Tinglan originally didn't want to listen to this useless gossip news at all, but as soon as she mentioned Zhu Yu'an and the subway, her heart became agitated. For a moment, she was unsure whether Jiajia saw Zhu Yu'an in the subway car or at the subway exit.

She doesn't want anyone to know about her current purely platonic relationship with Zhuo Yu'an, not even Lin Zhixuan.

"Hey Isn't that Tinglan ahead" The little girl at the front desk was quick to notice that a meter in front of Zhuo Yunan at the subway exit stood Shu Tinglan.

Shu Tinglan's heart sank, thinking it was a photo in the carriage. Although Shu Tinglan and Zhuo YUAN had no interaction throughout the journey in the carriage, Zhuo YUAN stood behind her the whole time. To outsiders, they looked like a close couple.

"That's right, Lan was so focused on walking that she missed the big shot behind her. I called out to her twice, but she didn't hear me. What a shame, otherwise you two would have met, and perhaps Mr. Zhuo would have remembered that you were high school classmates." Jiajia said with sarcasm.tinue yesterday's conversation.But Gu Ruandong obviously knew that after a fight, things would pass. The focus was on talking business, no pleasantries, straight to the point: "Recently, we need to t...
