Chapter 47: Lights Aglow

e real owner of Hongfeng Decoration, and the one who is publicly promoted as the owner, is Wu Dezhong. However, when the company was registered, a relative from his family was hired as the legal repre...The proprietress, hearing the sound, came over. She first saw Shu Tinglan and continued to be disappointed.

“Isn't this the girl from the store last time Didn't I say, it wasn't that little one.”

"Take another look at the person across from her." The boss reminded.

The proprietress glanced at Zhu Yu'an across from her, froze for a moment, then clapped her thigh in surprise.

"Yes, yes, it's them, hahaha, it's them!" A hearty laugh echoed.

Shu Tinglan felt a touch of warmth knowing that she was being thought of like this. Zhuo Yu'an, on the other hand, felt a bit awkward. He had no experience interacting with this kind of group and couldn't understand the source of their emotions.

“Little girl, you’re really heartless. You didn't admit it last time either. This time you can't deny it, can you It's a coincidence that someone looks alike, it's impossible for two people to look alike, it must be you!”

The boss and his wife's passion drew the attention of everyone else in the shop, Shutinglan also blushed with embarrassment.

Upon seeing this, Zhuo Yu'an was about to speak and say: We are going to have a meal. But before he could finish his words, the proprietress excitedly said:

"Are you two together now Are you married"

Shu Tinglan almost choked on her water, bewildered. What was he talking about

"Back then, I saw it clear as day. He's head over heels for you! Every time he comes to the store with you, he doesn't eat himself, just watches you. Oh my, that look in his eyes! Even this old auntie felt something."

This....

Shu Tinglan thought this aunt's imagination was too vivid. Gossip is indeed a woman's nature.

She became even more embarrassed, glancing at Zhuo YUAN and waiting for him to deny it with the proprietress. But to her surprise, he actually smiled – a rare occurrence. She had no choice but to step up and deny it herself.

"No, we're just..." Colleagues Partners Or bed partners She felt like she couldn't lie to this genuinely kind aunt. Telling the truth head-on seemed unavoidable; the consequences of a white lie might be devastating. Just as she was carefully choosing her words, the boss’s wife interrupted her.

"It's bound to happen, it's bound to happen. Today I have settled a matter that has been on my mind for a long time. Seeing the beautiful little girl grow up and seeing you two together is exactly as I wished, hahaha."

The proprietress laughed heartily.

Shutinglan wasn't sure if she was genuinely concerned about him or just curious, watching them as if they were a drama. Because she hadn't seen the ending, she couldn't forget about it all these years

"Today I'm treating you all, so eat as much as you like." The proprietress left contentedly.

"You've settled her heart." The boss also happily finished speaking and went busy.

Only Shu Tinglan and Zhuo Yu'an were left facing each other in silence. After finishing their meal, Zhuo Yu'an directly scanned the code to pay and bid farewell to the boss and his wife before leaving.

As night fell, the temperature dropped sharply. Stepping out of the snack shop, Shu Tinglan couldn't help but shiver. Zhuo Yu'an then pulled her over and wrapped her in his windbreaker. They stood by the roadside hailing a cab instead of riding their bicycles.

"What brings you to Qining this time" she asked, for all day he seemed to have done nothing of importance.

"Come play," he said, looking down at the person in his arms. His gaze was unusually tender, illuminated by the neon streetlights.

Shuting Lan didn't believe it. Zhuo Yuan Technology was launching a new product on Monday, the busiest time of year for them. Plus, he had transferred directly to Qining upon returning from abroad. With his workaholic attitude, there was no way he was here just for fun. But this man always refused to discuss business with her. She had gotten used to it. So she didn't say anything, she just wanted to move away from him a little in his arms.

Zhuo Yu'an tightened his arms, pulling her closer to him again, and said:

"I'm heading back to Senzhou tonight, and all the arrangements for Monday morning's new product launch are ready. I have nothing to do these two days, so I came back to visit Kuzuha. It's been many years since I last returned."

You've only been in high school for three years.

"Shu Tinglan, these three years have been incredibly meaningful to me."

Shu Tinglan nodded as if half understanding, Zhu Yu'an smiled.

"You're heartless and naive, you wouldn't understand."

This was the second time he said she was heartless today, as if scolding her, but with a gentle tone. So where exactly was she heartless

The two took a car back to the hotel. Even on the weekend, there was no true time for rest. Shu Tinglan had several emails waiting for her reply in her inbox, and Zhuo Yu'an's phone seemed to never stop buzzing. The hotel study was large, so they each worked on their own side.

Shu Tinglan's emails, she actually reads them during the day, because it's not an urgent matter, so she left it until now to come out. Zhuo Yu'an seems to be quite busy, it's not as if he said there was nothing going on.

First it was Lu Kuò who called, even without using speakerphone I could clearly hear his surprised exclamation.

"Did you go to Qīníng"

"Hmm."

"Why didn't you tell me I could have gone too. Chengchen hasn't been on a business trip lately, he's been in Qining."

Shu Tinglan rolled her eyes, listening to the blatant audacity. When did it become his right to speak for Cheng Chen Did he even have a shred of shame left

"Is anything the matter If not, I'm hanging up."

"Wait, when are you going back to Senzhou Should I go to Qining to find you now I can also bring Shu Tinglan along. We could all four revisit Qining tomorrow and relive the old feelings."

"I'm busy, let's talk later." Zhuo Yu'an hung up Lu Kuò's phone call without any mercy.

After a while, his phone rang again. He uttered the other person's name in a deep voice.

What about An The mysterious product designer from Zhurong Technology

The two were mainly finalizing the new product to be released on Monday.

"I have confirmed with Wang Yan, everything is fine. Ane, relax."

"Yes, I gave the presentation at Monday's meeting."

"Okay, you can come back after the Spring Festival. I've already arranged your accommodation here."

"The acquisition is progressing smoothly."

Shu Tinglan could tell that Zhu Yunan had a good relationship with the product designer because, even when discussing business, he was very relaxed, both in tone and manner, as if he were off work.

After he hung up the phone, Shu Tinglan had finished processing his emails.

"Are you Ane, the renowned product designer from Zhuoyuan Technology"

"Yes, I'll introduce you two when she gets back."

"Great!"

"Would you like a drink" he suddenly invited her.

"Okay."

Two people walked out of the study to the bar.

Zuo Yu'an took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet and only poured her a little.

"Have a taste."

Shu Tinglan didn't know much about wine, she took a light sip and couldn't tell if it was good or bad, just that there was sweetness and aftertaste. It tasted much better than the cheap red wine Lin Zhicheng had made her drink before. She took another small sip and smiled at Zhuo Yu'an.

"Delicious."

Zuo Yu'an also smiled, took a small sip, and turned to look at the night view outside the window. He was a master at setting the mood. The entire suite's lights were set to a warm tone, and soft music flowed from the speakers. He stood by the floor-to-ceiling window with his glass in hand, staring intently at Shu Tinglan. Behind him, the window offered a view of a glittering starry sky and thousands of twinkling lights.ndong's account remained eerily quiet.By 11:30, she was starting to get impatient. She silently counted down from 10 in her head; if he didn't reach out proactively by then, she would send him a messa...
