Chapter 13: This Shop Is Still Open

the car!""Mom, hurry up and get in the car," the child said impatiently.Shu Tinglan had no choice but to get in the car. The go-kart was very low, and it felt like sitting on the ground.Yi Muyang was...She almost posts to her WeChat Moments every day, sharing only photos of her three meals and any pretty scenery she sees. She doesn't particularly intend to share them with anyone in particular; it's more like a personal record.

Soon,

Lin Zhixuan commented: What kind of strange things are you eating in the middle of the night

Cheng Chen commented: Back to Qixing

Then, a video request in the chat dialog.

"When did Qīníng come I haven't heard you mention it before."

"Kurisu Ning is on a business trip, the director temporarily assigned tasks."

"Are you alright" It was probably the first time in years that she had returned to Qingshan, Cheng Chen's voice held a hint of carefulness.

"It's fine, I have a lot of work to do, so I probably won't be able to meet up with you this time."

Just saw you, see you again next time when I go to Senzhou.

Li Wei chatted with Cheng Chen for a while longer, but it was already 12 midnight.

Then I opened Moments again and found two more comments.

Is this noodle shop still open

Shū Tínglán reacted for a long time before remembering who those three letters belonged to, Zhuó Yǔ'ān Wasn't he the person who added him on WeChat during the dinner gathering the other day

When did she add this account Back then, when she first started using WeChat, the push notifications and address book pushed a lot of friends. She didn't know how to use it at the time, so she accepted them all one by one. It must have been added back then. Because she doesn't usually organize her address book, and this account never posts to Moments, she didn't even realize this account existed.

Shu Tinglan did not reply to this comment, and soon even added the WeChat account to her blacklist. After all, in the video that day, his attitude was very clear: he handled official business professionally. She already had his work account, so there was no need to keep a personal one. This way, she wouldn't leave herself room for fantasy or give the other person an opportunity to belittle her.

She admitted that she was indeed a bit sensitive, even aloof, in her interpersonal relationships.

Cheng Chen told her countless times to leverage her network resources to expand business. A lawyer needs not only professional knowledge but also marketing skills to attract clients.

She understood the reason. If she hadn't been preoccupied with vulgar thoughts the previous night, if she hadn't slept with Zhuo Yu'an, and if he hadn't coldly rejected her afterward, she thought she would have been very happy to have his personal WeChat and would have proactively contacted him about business.

Now, she couldn't help but think about the anger in his voice during last night's video call.

"An associate lawyer contacted me. Is this the sincerity you, Mr. Xiao, have for cooperation"

The voiceover simply felt she wasn't up to the task.

Of course, Zhu Yu'an is right, she was overreaching.cher Qin sat on either side of me and kept me company all night. But back then, all I had in my heart was hatred, hatred for your indifference, hatred for your ruthlessness. You were really, really a...
