Marriage First, True Love Later



202 Embarrassed and indignant

On the way back, Lin Li tilted her head and looked at Zhou han for a long time. After a long time, she said, ” “I didn’t realize that your acting skills were so good.”

Zhou han turned his head to look at her, then turned his head to look at the road ahead. He said with a half-smile, ” I’m a businessman, and I’m particular about efficiency and cost-performance ratio. It’s better to do it once than to repeatedly modify it countless times in the future.

Lin Li nodded and said sarcastically, ” “That’s right, once and for all.”

Zhou han didn’t turn his head and just looked ahead.

The atmosphere in the car seemed to have changed all of a sudden. It was silent and gloomy.

Lin Li’s mood was inexplicably bad. She was irritable and uneasy. She knew that her mood had turned bad not only because of her parents ‘departure, but also because of the incident with Chengxiang’s mother at the airport.

After a long silence, Zhou han spoke first with a smile, ” “It seems that your taste is really bad. You don’t see much in men, and neither do you see much in women.”

Lin Li turned her head to look at him. She knew that the man and woman he was talking about was Chengxiang and his mother. The corner of her mouth suddenly sneered, and she said in a mocking tone, ” “You don’t have good taste either.”

At the traffic light, Zhou han slowly stopped the car and nodded in agreement. He then turned to look at Lin Li and said, ” “Then the two of us are considered to be in the same boat?”

“Are you happy?” Lin Li glared at him, turned her head, and said with a cold face and no expression, ” “I don’t think this is something to be happy about!” To put it in a more literary way, they were both in the same boat. To put it bluntly, they were just two fools who believed in love and wasted a lot of their youth for it. All their feelings were wasted. What a sad two people. What was there to be happy about?

Zhou han didn’t get angry. He turned his head and said, ” I’m not happy. I just think you’re stupid, even stupid.

Lin Li turned her head and looked at him. Her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was asking him what he meant.

The red light turned green, and the car in front started to move slowly. Zhou han started the car and followed. Without turning his head, he looked at the road ahead seriously and said, ” because I’m afraid that my parents and friends will be worried and sad, I try my best to pretend that I’m fine in front of them, so I’m already at ease and don’t care anymore. When I turn around, I’ll silently cry. I know that it’s impossible to turn back, I know that even if that person apologizes and repents in front of me, it won’t change the fact that it has already existed. But I still feel sad for a long time just because I saw someone and heard a sentence from them. If this isn’t stupid, what is? ”

Perhaps it was because they had similar experiences, Zhou han could always see through her thoughts at a glance. Every word he said was very direct, directly piercing through her defenses and then ruthlessly stabbing into her heart.

Lin Li bit her lip. Even if he was right, she didn’t want to show weakness to him, so she said, ” “I didn’t. Don’t be so full of yourself.”

you know very well whether I’m being presumptuous or not. I just want to tell you that letting go isn’t something you say. It’s in your heart. After Zhou han finished speaking, he stopped talking and focused on driving.

Lin Li turned her head and looked outside in a fit of pique. In fact, she herself knew this, but everyone knew the truth, but no one could do it.

When Lin Li was still immersed in her own emotions, Zhou han had already driven back to the company. He took his briefcase from the back seat. When he turned his head again, he saw that Lin Li was still in the same position as before. He was silent for a while before saying, ” I don’t have time to send you back. If you want to go back, you can drive back by yourself. With that, he opened the car door and went straight to the company.

Only then did Lin Li snap out of her daze. It turned out that she had already arrived at the company without realizing it. After sitting in the car for a while, Lin Li didn’t go back. Instead, she pulled out her key and got out of the car to enter the company.

When she went up, she happened to meet Zhou han, who was holding documents and preparing to go to the conference room for a meeting. Assistant Xu followed behind her. Seeing her come out of the elevator, Zhou han was only slightly stunned. Then, he didn’t say much and directly walked towards the conference room with the documents. When assistant Xu, who was following behind him, saw Lin Li, it was as if he had seen his Savior. His originally bitter face suddenly had hope and he quickly handed her the laptop in his hand. hurry in for the meeting. You need to take the meeting minutes. Then, she followed Zhou Han’s footsteps and headed for the meeting.

Lin Li didn’t even have much time to react. She took the computer and followed them into the meeting room.

This meeting lasted for nearly three hours, mainly about the planning and implementation of the next phase of the project. Lin Li couldn’t help but think that Zhou han was really patient. There was such an important meeting in the company, but he still insisted on driving her parents to the airport.

This was Lin Li’s busiest day. One document after another was sent over before she could sort them out. Lin Li was so busy that she didn’t have time to think about anything else. She was so tired that she was about to fall apart.

After finishing the last document, Lin Li leaned back and closed her eyes. She was so tired that she didn’t want to move.

When Zhou han came out of the office with the documents, he happened to see Lin Li with her eyes closed and her head raised. He didn’t know if she was asleep or just resting with her eyes closed. He went forward and knocked on her table.

Lin Li suddenly opened her eyes and saw the documents in his hand. She couldn’t help but ask, ” “You still have documents to sort out?”

Zhou han smiled and handed the document to her in a business-like manner. He said, ” these are the documents for tomorrow’s morning meeting. Distribute them to them tomorrow morning.

Hearing him say this, Lin Li was relieved. She reached out to take it and said, ” “I won’t help you even if you bring me more documents. Don’t you know what time it is?”

Upon hearing that, Zhou han raised his hand to look at the time. It turned out that it was almost 10 O ‘clock in the evening. He put down his watch and looked at Lin Li, saying, ” “Pack up your things and get ready to go back.” After saying that, he went into his office to pack his things.

Lin Li had wanted to go back for a long time, but the documents kept coming in one after another, making her not even have time to go to the toilet.

After Lin Li roughly packed up the things on the desk and went to the bathroom, Zhou han had already packed up his things and was standing in front of her desk with his briefcase. He was holding her phone in his hand and frowning slightly.

Lin Li went up to him angrily and looked at him strangely. “Why did you take my phone?”

Zhou han handed her phone back to him and said honestly, ” “I received a call when you weren’t around.”

“Who is it?” Lin Li reached out to take it and unlocked it to look at the call record, but she heard Zhou han say, ” “Chengxiang.”

The hand that was pressing on the phone suddenly stopped. There was no reaction for a long time, and he just stood there in a daze.

Zhou han saw her expression and said indifferently, ” “If you want to call back Yingluo …”

“I didn’t want to call back.” Without waiting for him to finish, Lin Li directly retorted, ” why should I call back? I said I would forget this person!

Zhou han looked at her and smiled. I just wanted to tell you that if you want to return the call, then I’m sorry. I’ll delete the call records.

Lin Li was stunned for a while before asking, ” if you deleted the call history, then why don’t you tell me why he called you? ”

Zhou han shrugged and said,”I deleted the call record because I didn’t want you to return the call later.” &Nbsp

Lin Li rolled her eyes at him and put her phone in her pocket. She took the edge of the table and said, ” “I don’t think you’re that smart. If you’re so annoyed with Xiaobin’s mother, why did you pick up her call?” Then, she walked towards the elevator.

Zhou han was stunned. He smiled and followed her as he said, ” “Have you noticed that we’re digging at each other’s wounds for fun?”

“It’s you, don’t drag me into this.” Lin Li rolled her eyes at him and entered the elevator. I’m not that perverted.

“I’ve been stabbed quite a few times by you, right?” Zhou han followed her into the elevator and pressed the button for the floor.

Lin Li didn’t reply. She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, a smile on her lips.

In fact, it was interesting to think about it. Just as he said, the two of them had similar experiences, and no one was better than the other. In fact, it was because of such an unpleasant past that the two of them could always see the pain in each other’s eyes at a glance, and their words were so sharp that you couldn’t hide even if you wanted to.

It was almost 11 O ‘clock when the two of them returned home after having supper. Lin Li was so tired that she didn’t want to move at all. She opened the door and wanted to go in to sleep. Just as she was about to go in, she heard Zhou Han’s faint smile behind her and said, ” “Aren’t you going to sleep on the floor at my place tonight?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Li didn’t even turn her head and directly said, ” “I’m not crazy.” As he spoke, he opened the door and entered the room.

At the door, Zhou han looked at the tightly shut door and smiled meaningfully.

In the room, Lin Li took off her coat and went straight into the bathroom without even taking her pajamas. She was really exhausted today. Now, she just wanted to take a good bath and lie on the bed to sleep.

After taking a quick shower, Lin Li directly came out wearing a bath towel. When she opened the wardrobe door, Lin Li was stunned. It was empty. Only then did she remember that under her mother’s supervision last night, she packed all her clothes and luggage into Zhou Han’s room. She didn’t even leave a single nightgown!

Her sleepiness and fatigue were instantly sobered up, and she was on the verge of tears. She looked down at her current appearance and then at the empty wardrobe. Lin Li stomped her feet in anger.

After Zhou han took a shower, he grabbed a towel and wiped his wet hair. His eyes looked towards the door of the room from time to time, and the smile on his lips was a little sly.

When his hair was half dry, the expected knock on the door still didn’t come. He frowned slightly and said to himself, ” “Did he just fall asleep?” Thinking about it, she wanted to open the door and go out to take a look. When she opened the door, she saw Lin Li holding a bath towel and raising her hand, looking like she was about to knock on the door.

Zhou han was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and sized her up from head to toe. Then, he slowly asked, ” “Is there something you need?”

Lin Li felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. She grabbed the bath towel and covered her top with one hand and pulled down with the other, feeling extremely insecure. In fact, she had been struggling outside for a long time, and she was really a little embarrassed.

Seeing her blushing and embarrassed look, the smile on Zhou Han’s face became more obvious. He deliberately asked again, ” “What’s the matter? Or do you still want to sleep on the floor at night?”

“You did it on purpose!” Lin Li glared at him and said with certainty.

Zhou han pretended to be innocent. what did I do on purpose? ”

Lin Li didn’t have the time to bicker with him. At this moment, she wished she could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it, but the premise was that she had to put on her clothes!

She couldn’t care too much. She pushed him away with one hand and went straight to the cloakroom. Without even looking, she grabbed the clothes from inside and walked out.

Zhou han couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
