Chapter 21: Meaning to Continue

look at it, just to be on the safe side. 。Lin Zhixuan was hesitant, but he agreed to help her find someone. 。The next day, Lin Zhiyi drove her to the hospital to pick up her mother. 。"Would you like t..."What's wrong" Shu Tinglan asked, following his gaze to see water continuously flowing from the kitchen, flooding the entire dining room. Shu Tinglan also froze, encountering this situation for the first time and not knowing what to do.

"You go to the living room, I'll handle this."

As he spoke, Zhuo Yu'an rolled up his shirt sleeves and walked toward the kitchen.

"Where is the main water valve for the kitchen" he asked.

Where is the kitchen faucet

Shu Tinglan didn't know either. She rarely cooked, hardly ever entered the kitchen, so how could the pipe have burst

"I'll look around." She got up and headed towards the kitchen.

"Just stand there and don't move, I'll go find it." Zhuo Yu'an stopped her. The water in the restaurant was about to spread to the living room, it wasn't much, but the living room had wooden floors, and getting them soaked would be a big hassle.

Zuo Yu'an stepped into the kitchen with waterlogged feet. The kitchen was a disaster zone. He opened each cabinet one by one, bending down to search for the water valve. He soon found it under the sink basin, with the ruptured pipe underneath the adjacent cabinet.

Once the water valve was shut, the constant stream of water finally stopped.

However, Zhu Y uan's appearance was a far cry from his usual sophisticated image. His white shirt sleeve was rolled up, with several stains on it, and his straight trousers were soaked with water.

Shu Tinglan didn't want to let him do the cleanup work, she stood up again to help clean up the water on the ground, but Zhuo Yu'an stopped her.

"My clothes are dirty, don't come closer, I'll be fine soon."

He quickly swept the floor of the restaurant, then crouched down by the broken pipe and looked at it for a while, saying:

"Let's have the workers come over to fix it tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you."

Fortunately, he was there. Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do. At the beginning when they were decorating, both she and her mother had no experience. Besides, their financial capacity was limited, so they only did a simple decoration, which might have been done poorly by the decorating company.

At this moment, Zhuo Yu'an, in his white shirt and suit pants, was all wet from the rain. But it didn't detract from his handsomeness, nor did he look a bit disheveled.

"I'm going to take a shower." He didn't hesitate, and walked straight to the bathroom. The water stains on his body were unbearable.

"Good." Shu Tinglan's heart skipped a beat. The phrase "I'm going to take a shower," brought about an involuntary association in her mind, especially since they had once...

When Zhuo Yuyan went to take a shower, she hurriedly took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Lin Zhixuan.

"Help, help me!"

Lin Zhihao: "What's the matter"

Shu Tinglan: "You said you made an appointment with a sleeping buddy once, and they suddenly showed up uninvited. What does that mean"

Lin Zhihao: "Want to sleep again. Is that what you mean"

"He doesn't seem to lack women, does he"

Lin Zhiwei: "Honey, you have no idea about your charm. I told you before that you are a gem, a woman men find hard to forget after sleeping with once. But wait, when did you make an appointment Who is he Is he safe"

Shu Tinglan: It's very safe, I'll tell you later...

Lin Zhihao: Don't worry about what he thinks, the key is whether you want to continue sleeping How did it feel last time The teacher still says the same thing, when you meet a good sleep buddy, sleeping is making money.

Shu Tinglan: ........

The problem now isn't whether she wants to continue sleeping. The other person's identity is special. If Director Xiao wins this project, they'll be seeing each other all the time. She doesn't think she has the guts to handle that kind of situation.

But Zhuo Yúan's temptation was huge, delivered right to her doorstep. If she refused, she felt like she was missing out a bit. Shu Tinglan was a very contradictory person; on one hand, she wanted to be true to her body's needs, but on the other hand, she was suppressed by long-held beliefs.

She was truly poisoned by Lin Zhixuan's sweet words. In fact, tonight, Zhuo Yunan didn't show any desire to continue sleeping. He just helped her tidy up the messy kitchen and, because he got dirty, borrowed her bathroom to take a shower. How did she come up with so much

Just as she was lost in thought, a voice came from the bathroom.

"Shu Tinglan, please get me a towel."

"Okay."

Later, she realized she wasn't overthinking things. Zuo Yunan's entrance into the bathroom was already a clear indication. She took a bath towel from the balcony and slowly knocked on the bathroom door.

"I put it on the stand outside the door."

The bathroom was separated by glass, and she could see the hazy figures of people moving inside. Her face instantly flushed red, and her heart started racing.

"Give me."

The bathroom door suddenly opened, and Zhuo Yu'an's strong and perfect figure appeared before her. Accompanied by the swirling mist, she swallowed hard, completely losing composure.

This is a contest between men and women, she was defeated.

Zhuo Yu'an smiled, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he pulled her into his arms.

She felt nothing, only the water of the shower continuing to flow.

She and Zhu Y uan both had an unspoken understanding, a mutual physical attraction, neither of them being more noble than the other.

Once, she thought only lovers could be so crazy, only lovers could reach such indescribable feelings of intensity. However, now she realizes they were all just ordinary people. What love What emotions None of it mattered.

"Lin Zhixiao, the strategist, is right. As long as it doesn't involve morality or breaking the law, and ensuring safety, we should relax and enjoy ourselves. Sex is as normal as eating, there's nothing to make a big deal out of."

After completing this series of mental preparations, she felt more relaxed and soft than before. So when Zhuo Yu'an cleaned them both up and carried her back to the bedroom, he wanted a second time, and she readily agreed.

However, this man's energy was a bit too much. She remembered he had just returned from abroad and was battling jet lag, so there was no way he should have been this wide awake.

And she, at the second ending, almost fainted.

Zhuo Yu'an asked her: Where is the hairdryer Blow your hair dry before you go to sleep.

She whispered back: In the third drawer.

The roar of the hairdryer blew at her hair, and she didn't want to move at all, only croaking out a response.

"When you leave...please make sure to close the door."

The man was none other than the renowned Zhu Yu'an, someone she knew would not harm her. Feeling safe in his presence, she uttered those words and promptly fell into a deep sleep.

She slept until dawn, having a rare dreamless night. So when she woke up, she felt refreshed and clear-headed. However, the moment she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of beautiful eyes looking straight at her.

And she wasn't hugging the teddy bear she was used to having by her bedside, but Zuo Yu an...

"Not had enough" His voice was cool and gentle.

This person is strange. They have an air of arrogance and coldness, especially in the workplace. But every time I speak to them privately, their tone is always gentle. Even when we are closest, he remains tender towards her, very considerate of her feelings.

"Why didn't you leave" Shu Tinglan was surprised that he hadn't left like last time after finishing his work.

"My clothes are wet, I can't go out." He answered softly, a perfectly reasonable excuse.

"Oh." happen, she would contact him first no matter what their marital status was. She knew Tinglan very well.Zhuo Yu'an's eyes darkened. He hadn't expected Lin Zhifei to suddenly ask that question, but he...
