Chapter 37: Caught in the Act

and strong, so we can be a solid support system for them and help them win this battle." 。""Yeah" 。She nodded. 。。She held up three fingers to Shu Tinglan. “This is the third time.” 。My son helped ou...Director Xiao and Lawyer Zhang were discussing the details of their cooperation, while Shu Tinglan was diligently taking notes beside them. Until Lawyer Zhang suddenly looked up at her and said ...

"President Zhu means that he hopes Hongzheng Law can send a lawyer to be stationed at Zhuaoyuan Technology's office, which would facilitate communication between the two parties. Lawyer Shu has experience in corporate legal affairs and is good at internal communication within enterprises. So, could Director Xiao arrange for Lawyer Shu to work at Zhuaoyuan Technology"

Shu Tinglan was stunned.

Director Xiao didn't think much about it and directly answered yes, because Shu Tinglan didn't have other projects on hand to allocate, and being stationed at Zhuo Yuan Technology would indeed be convenient for both parties to communicate.

Both parties continued to discuss some details. As they were both lawyers, they drafted and signed the contract on the spot. The project for Zhuoyuan Technology was thus settled.

Although this day wasn't full of thrills and excitement, it was the first time Shu Tinglan had experienced something like this. She learned a lot, and when she got home at night, her brain was still buzzing with excitement.

When I'm in a good mood, everyone seems pleasing to me. Even when I saw Zhuo Yu'an at home, I thought he was even more handsome and attractive than before.

Zhuo Yu'an rubbed her hair and smiled.

"What a good mood"

Shu Tinglan looked up at him: "Did you decide to cooperate with Director Xiao long ago"

"No, this was a decision made today after discussions among several departments." he denied.

"So, was it your idea for me to work at Zhuoyuan Technology"

"No, that's a lawyer's choice." He denied again.

As their conversation progressed, at some point he had his arms wrapped around her waist, and they stood face to face, close enough that their questions and answers were almost whispered. When he spoke down to her, his expression was gentle as water.

I thought Zhang would choose Jiajia. Jiajia is better at communication than me.

"You are doing well too."

"Zhu Yu'an, you are truly the most ruthless and heartless person I've ever met. Throughout this project, you refused to help me in any way, not even a little."

"Public is public, private is private. This is a matter of principle. If your firm doesn't have the capacity to handle this project and you take it on because I gave you special treatment, wouldn't that be a loss for both parties in the long run"

He had a point, but Shu Tinglan thought that under the premise of not violating his principles, occasionally giving him some hints and help wouldn't hurt. Who was as airtight as he was

could not help but exclaim:

"Zuo Yu'an, you are so principled that you will never be able to find a girlfriend. You are destined to live a lonely life."

Zhuo Yu'an looked down at her, and after a long silence, he finally spoke.

"If there are no principles, can you still chase after it"

He asked very seriously, Shu Tinglan also thought about this question very seriously, the answer is

"It depends on the person."

"What about you"

He tightened his grip on her waist, his dark eyes gazing deeply into hers.

Shu Tinglan was momentarily confused. Did she prefer to be principled or not She had never considered this question before. Just now, it was just a joke.

She rarely thought about romantic relationships, and hadn't considered what her future partner might be like at all. As Lin Zhixuan said, she was oblivious in this regard.

But life, isn't it all about working hard, making money, and treating yourself well as much as possible

Zuo Yu'an let out a sigh that was almost imperceptible, shifted his other hand from her waist to gently lift her head and kissed her deeply, passionately, possessively.

Shu Tinglan also responded, having completely adapted to the rhythm of their相處.

Until the middle of the night, Shu Tinglan was drowsy and couldn't tell if she was dreaming or awake. She felt as though Lin Zhiyao had come to her house and heard Lin Zhiyao knocking on her bedroom door.

She told herself to get up and open the door for Lin Zhifan, to get up and open the door. She felt awake, but her body wouldn't move no matter what.

"Go to sleep."

Someone was whispering softly in her ear, gently patting her on the back. It must have been a dream, she thought. And so she drifted back to sleep.

Lin Zhixuan had a few drinks with his friends last night. When he got home, he remembered he wanted to congratulate Shu Tinglan, so he went straight to her house. After pressing the doorbell twice and getting no response, he used his key to open the door. They had given each other keys to their houses back then, just in case of emergencies.

She was a little tipsy and as she reached the living room, she suddenly couldn't remember why she had come to find Shu Tinglan.

"Shushu... shushu..." she called out several times, and even knocked on the bedroom door, but the door was locked Feeling the effects of alcohol, she slumped down in front of the door and wailed.

"Shushu, don't you want me anymore"

"Let me in, I want to sleep with you."

"Aren't you hiding a man in there"

After a while, no one answered. I slumped down at the doorway and cried, muttering to myself about something, what a drunkard!

Unfortunately, Shu Tinglan had no distractions today and, coupled with overdoing it on exercise before bed, fell into a deep sleep. He never came to open the door. Lin Zhifei was also tired, drowsiness gradually creeping upon him at his bedroom door. In a daze, he felt the door open and himself being pulled onto the sofa by a powerful force. The action wasn't brutal, but it wasn't gentle either.

She only thought it was a dream until the next day, she woke up thirsty and found that she was indeed sleeping on the sofa.

She might be drunk, but she never forgets things. Last night in the living room, she seemed to see some messy clothes on the floor And her little ShuShu locked her bedroom door unusually. She didn't think much of it last night when she was drunk, but now that she's sober, she seems to smell "adultery" and starts smiling ambiguously, staring straight at the bedroom door, wanting to see what kind of demon has the ability to win over her little ShuShu.

She was thrilled, the kind of excitement one feels when a wife catches her husband cheating with another woman, red-handed, with undeniable evidence.

She was wrapped in the blanket Shu Tinglan had placed on the sofa, her hair loose and tangled, legs crossed, facing the master bedroom door, as if meditating.

Footsteps in the bedroom were approaching the door.

"Humph, none of you will escape my grasp today," she thought triumphantly.

Until then, the bedroom door creaked open, and a bright light shone out. Zhuo Yu'an walked out against the light, dressed in casual clothes. He was tall, languid, and handsome to the point of being terrifyingly so...

Originally, Lin Zhe had a playful mindset, intending to tease the man a bit. However, when she saw Zhuo Yu'an, she was stunned. Her eyes widened, her mouth opened into an exaggerated 'O' shape, like a stroke patient who could only mumble incoherently, unable to utter a single word.

Stiff, his body stiff, and his eyes were also staring blankly at Zhuo Yu'an walking out of the bedroom door into the light. He glanced indifferently at her on the sofa, then ignored her completely and walked towards the kitchen.

Unlike Zhuo Yu'an's cold indifference, Shu Tinglan, who followed closely behind, saw Lin Zhi'ao and his demeanor changed completely.

Her astonishment was no less than Lin Zhixian's.

Lin Zhiyao finally came to her senses and cried out in surprise.

Damn, damn... a string of curse words.

Shu Tinglan blushed all the way to her ears, caught red-handed by Lin Zhixiao, just like a lovestruck teenager caught by their parents.

Haha... was about to enter the conference room, Cui Jie suddenly saw a lipstick mark on his white shirt shoulder. She hurriedly wanted to stop him, but her efforts were in vain as his long legs had already c...
