Chapter 6: He Was Angry

fter entering the hospital and seeing those expectant mothers about to give birth, his heart skipped a beat. He unconsciously hugged Yaoyao tightly, unable to imagine what she would be like if she wer...He gave his work WeChat account when we had dinner before. An assistant probably manages it usually. Of course, with his status, he naturally doesn't have time for pointless socializing.

Shu Tinglan hesitated for a moment before replying, "My name is Shu Tinglan. Could you please tell Zhuo... that I have something to discuss with him"

"Okay, I'll pass that on." The other person sounded indifferent and hung up.

Shu Tinglan had no further expectations for this. In Zhuo Yu'an's eyes, her actions might seem like harassment. Who would want to be harassed by someone they agreed to sleep with Especially a man like him.

Unexpectedly, at ten o'clock at night, when she was about to fall asleep, Zhuo Yu'an's video call came in. Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly answered it.

"You're looking for me" His background was in an office, and outside the window it was daytime. He had been abroad all this time.

"Um," she stuttered, suddenly unsure whether to get up and change into a more formal outfit for the video call or just stay in her pajamas with her hair down.

"What's up" He seemed busy, typing furiously at his computer, only glancing at her in the video with a flicker of his eyes.

"That's right, I heard that Zhuoyuan Technology is going to acquire Shengpuer Smart, but the cooperating lawyer hasn't been decided yet. Xiao Junhua, the senior partner of our firm Hongzheng Law Firm, has extensive experience. Could you arrange..."

"You're here about this" Zhuo Y uan interrupted her, not letting her finish. He gently closed the computer on the table and looked at her seriously.

For some reason, Shu Tinglan felt he was angry, so she quickly explained.

"Don't worry, Director Xiao has done similar projects before..."

"Shu Tinglan!" He called her name, interrupting her again, and then continued.

"If I recall correctly, you're still an associate lawyer"

"Yes," she nodded, unsure why he asked.

So, you're saying that Director Xiao sent an associate lawyer to talk to me That's her idea of a sincere offer to collaborate" His voice was calm and measured as he stared expressionlessly at Shu Tinglan in the video.

Shu Tinglan instantly felt a sense of overwhelming shame, she thought, she thought...

What does she think

Didn't she think Zhuo Yu'an would at least give her a little face

Don't get too big for your britches!

Especially at this moment, Zhuo Yuyan was wearing a suit, dressed impeccably, with the air of a business elite, and an expression of professionalism. While she was in pajamas, looking groggy-eyed. A deep sense of shame and frustration surrounded her, what on earth was she doing

"I'm sorry for interrupting." She apologized, for breaking the rules of the game. They were never meant to be connected in the first place, how could she have allowed herself to entertain unrealistic fantasies because of a moment of tenderness last night

So naive, too naive.

Zuo Yu'an heard her apology, frowned, glanced at her, and stopped speaking. He didn't hang up the video either, but instead listened quietly. Shu Tinglan couldn't bear the disappointment in her heart, so she ended the video first. Her palms were already sweating, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.

Zhuo Yu'an was indeed as difficult to get along with as people said. She had misunderstood him. It was because last night he was so gentle, considerate of her feelings throughout the whole time. His eyes were filled with tenderness, like they had known each other for a long time. Last night, it seemed like he did everything for her love. Even when he rushed out the door, he smoothed out the wrinkled sheets for her, folded the scattered clothes, took out the trash, and cleaned her room spotless. At that moment, she was even touched. This man was too gentlemanly!

At this moment, he must have been acting cautiously, wanting to leave no trace at her place. After all, his identity was a sensitive matter. If the woman he had dated once were exposed or used as leverage, it would damage his reputation. That wouldn't be good at all.

So, her canine strategist Lin Zhicun was right: men's words and actions in bed shouldn't be taken seriously, just listen. Also, she really was a novice, unable to compete with others. In the future, she should just stay away from men.ny in the southwest, there was a small problem this time.
