Chapter 183: Because our hearts are connected

en." 。"Waiting for you to propose, don't you think Mr. Zhuo will be killed by beauty"Shu Tinglan thought of that scene, finding it both strange and a little exciting. 。Lin Zhiyao: "No matter what, I'm...Either way, it's like a family. Even if there are many resentments between them deep down, they can still remain calm when discussing business matters. 。Cheng Zhimin finished her medicine and drank the warm tea brought by the nanny. The air in her chest finally eased. After listening to Zhuo Hong's question, she calmly replied:

"I checked, ordinary family, father passed away many years ago, mother retired and lives with her in Senzhou." 。"This is the information she got after sending people to check on Qīngníng. It's an ordinary family." 。Now that things have come to this, don't act rashly. Wait until after I am transferred back to Beijing to make a long-term plan. The fact that he is married must also be kept secret. 。Zhu Hong was indeed threatened by Zhu Yu'an. During a critical period of his transfer, it was better to do nothing than to make things worse. 。Cheng Zhimin, even if she had a thousand or ten thousand complaints about Shu Tinglan, was helpless at this moment. Judging from Zhuo Yu'an's attitude, he meant what he said and wouldn't care about the Zhuo family's interests at all. At this critical juncture, she dared not act rashly anymore. She would wait until Zhuo Hong returned to Beijing to take office before making any decisions. 。After Zhu Youan left the Zhu family, it was already late at night. The stars and thousands of lights twinkled together. His car drove forward with the flow of traffic, but his heart was not comfortable. Even if his relationship with his parents was shallow, they were still his parents. If he didn't have to, he would never take this step. 。And there's Ting Lan's family background. Although he got rid of his mother's people sent to investigate Qining and made a fake report, it's only a temporary solution that will eventually be exposed. There's also the matter of his mother being hospitalized, which is another ticking bomb, touching upon the Zhuo family's bottom line. 。All he could do was try his best to protect Tinglan from harm. 。When she got home, Zhou Ming was already gone. She was alone on the sofa watching a TV program, looking sleepy-eyed. Hearing the sound of the door opening, she turned her head to look. 。Her eyes were misty, and her left cheek was still swollen. Her skin was so pale and delicate that even a slight touch could leave it red. Now, after being slapped with force, it must be even worse. 。He walked over, crouched beside the sofa, and rubbed her hair. “Why don’t you go to your room and sleep” 。"

Waiting for you to come back" 。Shutinglan had almost fallen asleep just now, but when she saw him, she woke up instantly, focusing on him intently, trying to find some clues. How did the conversation with her parents go 。"Stupid!" he said, getting up and going to the fridge to get an ice pack for her. He didn't even ask if she was hurt, he knew she was, it was all swollen up. 。Shu Tinglan applied an ice pack and followed him like a little tail, He went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and she just stood beside him watching, looking very obedient, as if she couldn't get enough. 。Until he finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, ready to take a shower in the bathroom, she leaned against the bathroom doorframe, watching him. 。"Want to wash together" He had already taken off his shirt, revealing his solid, well-defined upper body, and asked mischievously, his eyes no longer holding the gloom from before. 。Shu Tinglan rolled her eyes, grabbed an ice pack and left. Looks like she's fine now and ready to cause trouble again. 。She went back to her room and lay down, waiting for him. She didn't know how long he was gone for, but she drifted off to sleep when someone picked her up from behind, pulling her close into their arms. It felt very safe. 。His head rested gently on her collarbone, his hands coming around from behind to hold hers. A warm breath brushed against her cheek, tender and devoid of any lust. 。He loved this position, especially holding her hands. Many times during intimate moments, he would do so. Shu Tinglan had never asked him why he liked holding her hands so much. She decided to ask tonight. 。。His voice was low and gentle. 。"Huh" Shu Tinglan didn't quite understand the logic. 。"Fingers interlocked, holding each other's hands, is like holding each other's hearts." 。He explained, that was the reason, there wasn't a reason he didn't say it because, he liked her hands, they were slender and soft. Back when they were at Qining High School, the first time he saw her, he fell for her at first sight because she was playing the piano on stage, her fingers dancing across the keys. He noticed her hands first, then her... 。Every time our fingers interlock, I feel our hearts drawing closer together. 。As the night went on, their conversation drifted from innocent banter under the covers. They inevitably fell into a more intimate connection. However, Zhuo Yu'an's unprecedented tenderness left Shu Tinglan feeling like she was melting away. The slight pain on her face had long since vanished. 。As she was drifting off to sleep, she half-heartedly listened to him say: "Tinglan, let's go on our honeymoon." 。Now that I have some free time, Zhuoyuan Technology has gradually stabilized after the previous upheaval. Moreover, he is willing to cultivate professional managers and will no longer personally handle everything in the future. 。Shu Tinglan's side, just finished the Lisun Real Innovation project, is also the most leisurely time. 。Let's talk later. 。She replied that she didn't have any particular expectations for their honeymoon, as every day felt like one to her. And while the real estate project was finished, she wasn't sure where the next one would be, so she needed to focus on developing clients. 。Like Mr. Xiao and Zhou Ming, they both feel comfortable having several projects running simultaneously. They get anxious when idle. 。

When she fell asleep, Zhuo Yu'an took his phone and researched honeymoon destinations. 。It's definitely not possible to go abroad because her mother is in the hospital. She can't go far away and has to find domestic attractions. After looking at many travel guides, she finally decided to go to a coastal city and take wedding photos by the way. 。Looking down at the person sleeping soundly in her arms, their appearance was really well-behaved and completely unaffected by the day's events. 。Zuo Yu'an looked at her, his heart tangled with a dense love and heartache. 。If it had been a few years ago, he wouldn't have expected to love someone so deeply someday. 。Back in high school, it was first love. He confessed his feelings but she rejected him and moved abroad. For the next few years, besides occasionally checking her social media, he didn't have much turmoil in his heart. After returning home to start a business, at first it was just physical intimacy because of liking her, not really love. It was only through getting to know each other over time that his feelings deepened into true love. 。

How could there be someone in this world who perfectly matches his aesthetic Their features, physique, temperament, everything aligns with his preferences. Even their personality is what he likes: introverted yet not ostentatious, measured in their actions, gentle and kind, but also possessing their own temper and opinions, not completely dependent on anyone. 。In short, it's perfect, completely fulfilling his imagination of the other half. 。For a moment, he couldn't tell if his love for her stemmed from the fact that she was Shu Tinglan, or if he had fallen in love with her because she perfectly matched everything he desired. 。Shutinglan slept soundly all night. She woke up at daybreak because she felt like someone was staring at her with burning eyes. 。As expected, the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Zhuo Yu'an staring right at her. 。"You haven't slept all night, have you" She remembered him staring at her like that when she fell asleep. 。thinking that she should be asleep by now. Not bad, she knew to turn off her phone before bed so she wouldn't be disturbed.Chen Xinmin's matter is considered resolved. Wang, the general manager, staye...
