s time, she genuinely trusted Shu Tinglan. The person she had looked down upon before now truly stood out with his brilliance."Tinglan, I'm entrusting this case to you. I have complete confidence in y...She told Shiyan the same thing on WeChat. She couldn't bear to leave Tinglan alone in the dorm, so she couldn't go to his place tonight.

After she sent the message, she suddenly remembered that Shi Yan hadn't invited her to his house today at all. She had overthought things and wanted to take it back, but it was too late.

Frustrated!

A gray and white space avatar quickly popped up with two messages:

Okay!

It's a shame!

Lin Zhihao: A little disappointed

The other party: Well, I originally wanted to take you to the second class today!

Ohhhhh.....

When Lin Zhi'ao saw the message, his heart raced like crazy, about to explode. He slammed his phone onto the table with a heavy thud, startling Ting Lan.

It took her a while before she cautiously flipped the phone over again, double-checking that she wasn't seeing things.

Let's get to the second lesson!!

How could he say this so seriously!

Lin Zhiyao felt itchy, wanting to "abandon" Tinglan and go find Shiyan. But she couldn't. She wasn't the kind of person who valued romance over friendship.

I can only send two lines of crying emoji replies, it's such a pity, such a pity, her much-anticipated second class.

Shi Yan saw her emoji and replied: Really

She nodded heavily, then remembering the other person couldn't see her, replied: "Yes."

Only now do I realize he was joking. With someone like him, there's no way he would just casually go to a second class with her. The first class happened only because she was persistent, sending him daily visible-to-him friend circle posts and relentlessly chatting him up on WeChat for ages before he finally agreed.

Come here.

I am in the office.

"Didn't you have a meeting with clients this afternoon"

"Just got back."

It's already after work hours, and he even went back to the company. So was she being too sensitive before Did he come back specifically to pick her up

Never mind, she snatched her phone and told Tinglan, "I'm going out for a bit."

Then he dashed to his office.

As it was already after work hours, only a few colleagues were left in the office for overtime. Her office was also located far from the public working area, so no one saw her.

Her heart was that of a passionate and unrestrained person, liking something meant liking it openly, without reservation. It's just that in front of him, she often appeared clumsy because of her overwhelming joy.

She told Tinglan she was going out for a bit, but not just a little bit, it lasted for a full half hour.

For half an hour, she passionately kissed him in his office, reluctant to part.

Having learned from past experiences, Lin Zhixiao, this quick-witted "good student", was very good at applying what she learned and making even the mature, seasoned man struggle to keep himself in check.

He initially said he only meant to joke about having a second lesson, but now he genuinely wanted to teach her.

Lin Zhichen's whole body was trembling, feeling like he was suffocating.

All the blood surged with his hands, wherever his hand went, there her awareness lay.

She knew he should be experienced, so she could follow him.

She felt both comfortable and uncomfortable, wanting to cry.

Before the second class even began, she felt like her body was falling apart. She didn't know why she burst into tears, feeling as if her soul had left her body.

He stopped all movement, holding her close, his face pressed against hers as he adjusted his ragged breathing.

"I'm not afraid," Lin Zhihao explained, his voice trembling.

I know.

"I'm not crying because I'm sad."

I know.

"Did I disappoint you"

His breathing had calmed considerably, and he smiled: “No, today was just not meant to be.”

His office wasn't a good place.

"Mr. Shi, I really like you so much." Lin Zhifei clung to him greedily in his arms, unwilling to let go.

"I know." he replied.

After a moment of embrace, both calmed down. He said, “Come on, aren’t we going back to school I’ll walk you.”

After speaking, he stood up and helped her straighten out her slightly disheveled clothes.

"I'm going to call Tinglan."

"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs."

Tinglan had already finished work and was waiting for her in the office.

Although she was oblivious to romantic feelings, she had spent every day with Lin Zhixuan and instantly saw the smitten expression on his face. So she said, "I can go back to school by myself. You should go with Mr. Shi."

Lin Zhixuan: "Am I that kind of person"

Okay, she's that kind of person, but Shushu is an exception.

When they got downstairs, Shi Yan's car was already parked by the roadside waiting for them.

Just like the last time they had a dinner gathering, Lin Zhixuan still sat in the back with Tinglan, treating him as their driver. However, his state of mind was completely different now.

Last time it was subtle flirtation, this time it's blatant staring.

But Shi Yan unexpectedly didn't take the bait and focused on driving.

Not until they reached the school gate did Lin Zhifei tell Tinglan, "Get out of the car first and wait for me a moment."

Only then did Shi Yan smile and turn back to look at her.

This girl is the typical kind who, given a little color, will open a dye shop. Her true nature has been exposed.

Tinglan got out of the car and stood obediently by the roadside, but accidentally, she caught a glimpse inside. Lin Zhifei leaned over to kiss Shi Yan in the driver's seat.

She hurriedly lowered her head and walked towards the school campus, avoiding the onlookers.

After walking for a while, Lin Zhifei finally caught up from behind, her face flushed.

Listen carefully, stay away from me. I don't want to smell the sour taste of love.

Lin Zhihao: Love is beautiful, Shushu. You must also enjoy this beauty.

Listen to the sounds...！

Lin Zhi'ao was enjoying her love affair, savoring her office romance between meetings during the day. She liked the secrecy and unspoken understanding they shared. Sometimes, a casual glance in a public area, or standing side-by-side waiting for the elevator in the hallway, brought her double the joy.

And lately, Tinglan has been helping the marketing department set up for a trade show. The show is taking place on Christmas Eve, and the marketing department has asked her to be at the entrance to greet guests and handle check-in duties.

This company specializes in coding machines, which is a foreign brand but has a huge market share in China. Many IoT companies came on that day.

Tinglan wore high heels and a professional outfit, with her name badge hanging at the entrance. Thanks to her experience taking orders at the coffee shop, she was also very confident when receiving visitors at the exhibition, without showing any signs of being a newbie in the workplace.

The place was bustling with people. By the end, she glanced at the sign-in sheet and realized only those from Zhuo Yuan Technology were missing.

She was a little curious, was Zhuoyuan Technology really as impressive as the news reports said That Zhuo Yuanan, in her hazy memory, was still a tall and thin boy. Did he already have the ability to create such a company

Just as I was thinking, a familiar voice came from the entrance of the hall.

“Tinglan, Tinglan, it's been a long time!”

Ting Lan followed the sound and saw Lu Kuo, with Zhuo Yu'an standing beside him.

Author's Note: I seem to be saying sorry to you all every day for updating so little.

Although I usually spend my workday slacking off and writing, year-end is approaching, so I still have to do my own work, which keeps me quite busy. Plus, I'm a super slow writer, so I can only update one chapter per day. If you really can't stand it, you can stockpile a few more chapters to read later.
