Chapter 336: Not Bad

. Lin Zhixiao had been avoiding her recently, even ignoring her. She knew that this was because Lin Zhixiao cared for her, the more she cared, the harder it was to face her.And what about her What ki...But he leaned in a little closer, looked down at her, and didn't get angry:

Tinglan, you came to my room just to advise me to find another girl to satisfy my needs

"But, I only..." the last three words were whispered against her ear, audible only to her.

Shu Tinglan's eyes widened, her whole face flushed red. How shameless! Especially since the two of them were practically pressed together right now, and a certain part of his body reacted immediately to his words.

Shu Tinglan tightened her hands, propping herself up on the desk behind her. The more she tried to create distance between them, the closer he seemed to get, inching forward with every passing moment. Her back ached with the strain.

Maybe I really brought this on myself. The awkward atmosphere I felt just now, it's better to not say anything about it.

Fortunately, Zhuo Yu'an didn't continue to probe closer. He stood up just in time. She let out a breath of relief at the same time, but suddenly heard his hoarse voice come over, laced with teasing.

"You have a strong back."

Shu Tinglan cursed, "This is sexual harassment."

He smiled: "Tinglan, let's be reasonable. Who was harassing whom just now Besides, you're not an innocent little girl anymore. If you don't want to do anything with men, don't just walk into their rooms."

His tone was three parts serious, three parts mocking, which made him incredibly irritating.

Shu Tinglan: "That's because your thoughts are filthy, you see filth in everyone. What's wrong with me coming into your room to discuss business Even if it's on the bed, I said no, and you forced yourself on me, that's rape, do you understand Legal illiterate!"

Zhuo Yu'an raised an eyebrow and looked at her, taking a step closer and directly encircling her slender waist.

"Then you want to give it a try"

Shu Tinglan felt like he was crazy today. How could he discuss this with her At first, the atmosphere was just as ambiguous as usual, and he wouldn't do anything, but now she had ruined it, causing the ambiguity to skyrocket.

Before he could even ask if she wanted to try, he leaned down...and then scooped her up, carrying her into a room inside. He tossed her onto the bed and pinned her there.

The intense... and powerful movements left Shu Tinglan unable to muster any resistance.

He was clearly domineering, yet there was a tenderness that made one feel respected and loved. A familiar feeling of contradiction led to Shu Tinglan momentarily forgetting to resist. In her dazed state, the moment her shirt button was torn open, the coolness brought her back to reality.

I pushed him away with all my might.

His breathing was already very... strained. When pushed away, he didn't truly continue to exert himself on her, just wordlessly got up and went towards the bathroom, then the sound of running water came.

Shu Tinglan sat there with flushed cheeks, listening to the sound of water. Her heart was still beating wildly as it had been just moments ago. She had to admit that no matter how emotionally resistant she was to him, her body still reacted to him. It was like a magnet; just a slight proximity would instantly draw her in, beyond her control.

When the sound of water stopped, she hastily tidied herself up and sat down on a chair in the living room outside his room, appearing serious and composed. However, the two buttons on her shirt front that had been unbuttoned earlier were missing, revealing a hint of their previous intimacy.

Zuo Yu'an came out with wet hair, changed into a casual loungewear set, and no longer wore a shirt. He kept a distance from her and sat opposite her, staring at her intently and frankly said

“Tinglan, next time if you're not prepared, don't just come and flirt with me… This is the last time, I'll let you off this once.”

Having said that, his gaze fell on her shirt, which had two missing buttons, and he felt another surge of heat, brief and intense.

“Next time, I'll get you.”

Shu Tinglan's face flushed red: "I didn't flirt with you, you overthought it."

He glanced at her with a sarcastic look, then dropped the subject. His expression shifted quickly: "Well, what brings you to see me here in Senzhou" He could switch into work mode instantly.

Shu Tinglan is here, and there are two things. The first thing is to ask for leniency at the request of Teacher's wife, hoping that Zhuo Yuan Technology can withdraw the lawsuit against Sun Yueyue. He has already fallen into the case of developing gambling websites. If he is sued by Zhuo Yuan Company again for plagiarism, his life will probably be ruined forever.

After hearing her words, he asked

"So, you're here to ask me to spare Sun Yueyue"

"Well." The first time she'd ever yielded to him.

Zuo Yu'an felt much better seeing her like this. She was so endearing when she wasn't being stubborn or making a fuss, even though Sun Yuèyü's matter wasn't his doing. Even if she hadn't come to plead with him, he would have handled it properly anyway.

Anything else

"The second thing I wanted to talk about is the children," she said. This time, her demeanor was calm because she had no secrets and no fear in her heart.

Unlike before, she was afraid he would discover the children, so she always tried to hide and avoid him. Then he found out, and she was anxious every day, wondering what he would do next. She racked her brains trying to guess, and people's minds can break down very easily under such stress.

Although she is destined to fight for custody in court now, she oddly feels a sense of closure and calm, so she's particularly peaceful.

"Okay, you go ahead. I'm listening." He looked at her, gently encouraging her to continue. Fighting for custody was never his ultimate goal.

Shu Tinglan was very proactive this time, opening her phone album to show him.

“Look at what they looked like when they were born, so ugly. When I first saw them, I thought, 'I and you aren't even ugly, why do the kids look so ugly'”

Zhuo Yu'an took it over and looked. Two wrinkled little babies were sleeping soundly, heads to heads, but not at all ugly.

Shu Tinglan swiped down a photo.

"This is a hundred-day photo, but I was too tired at the time so I didn't take them out to get it taken. It was taken by an aunt at home."

“This is a first birthday grab bag video. What do you think Shu Xiaonian grabbed”

He was absorbed in his reading, but when she asked him a question, he blurted out a guess.

“Cash Grab”

"No, it's tapping the keyboard. He's so small, he just taps rhythmically on the keys with all ten fingers. Maybe it's genetic, like you. He resembles you in many ways, it's quite amazing what genes can do." Shu Tinglan herself hadn't expected to calmly share these little snippets of her children's past with Zhuo Yu'an one day.

Zuo Yu'an looked at the photos one by one, unable to put them down. His eyes were hot with love, wanting to hug them all, and also wanting to hug Ting Lan. Thinking about it was doing it, he hugged her tightly, kissing her hair.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Shu Tinglan continued flipping through the photo album and found a picture of Shu Xiaohua.

“She looks exactly like me, but her personality isn't at all like mine or yours. She's lively and sweet-spoken; you could say she's everyone's favorite.”

Zhuo Yu'an looked at Shu Xiaohua's photo on his phone. She looked so delicate and beautiful, his heart melted.ong drove himself tonight, not calling a driver. Lu Yaoyao sat in the passenger seat, waiting for the red light to turn green, she continued to touch up her makeup on her phone, determined to show her...
