Chapter 328: Get Dressed Before We Talk
aid, he didn't have time to take a shower or change clothes before coming to the meeting. 。He sat in the center of the conference table, his shoulders slightly pulled back, a conspicuous lipstick mark...Zhu Yunan saw that she was getting agitated and didn't want to continue pushing her buttons. He had said what he wanted to say, and for now, he decided to call a truce. After finishing his words, he went back to his room and closed the door.
Shu Tinglan felt completely drained. Had he known about the children all along Why had he remained silent for so long, and what did it mean to bring this up suddenly today What was he planning
Her mind was a jumble, unable to grasp any thoughts. Without thinking, she went and knocked on his door.
His door was right across from hers, and she realized then that this entire floor, these two apartments, were the ones Zhu Yunan had been renting all these years.
She knocked on the door for a long time, but Zhuo Yunan inside was as dead as a doornail, not coming out to open it. She then pressed the doorbell with all her might, holding it down without letting go, pressing it again and again.
The anger in my heart grew with each creak of the silent, still door. All that remained in my mind was his last words: Tinglan, I'm the children's biological father.
This was like dropping a bomb in her heart, shattering her insides and leaving her unable to think.
She rang the doorbell, knocked on the door, kicked it hard, and shouted: Zhuo Yuan, come out and explain yourself!
Like a madman, hysterical.
However, whether it was because the soundproofing was too good and he couldn't hear, or if he was deliberately ignoring it, his door remained completely motionless.
Shu Tinglan was like a madman at this moment. As soon as it came to her child, she couldn't calm down. She smashed the door and kicked the door, but there was no reaction. She glanced at the fire alarm next to the corridor and, without thinking, forcefully pulled down the fire alarm. She didn't believe that even if a fire broke out, Zhuo Yu'an could still escape. A piercing sound of the fire alarm rang through the entire corridor.
However, she didn't know which button she had pressed. She had accidentally activated the fire sprinkler system on this floor. Water gushed out from the sprinkler heads, spraying up and down, soaking her from head to toe. She looked like a drowned chicken, completely drenched and unrecognizable.
She stood soaking wet in the hallway, feeling like a clown, especially when she saw the hotel staff and firefighters who had rushed over at the sound of the alarm surround her. In that instant, she became calm.
"Where is the fire"
"Ma'am, how are you"
Firefighters quickly checked the surrounding area for any signs of fire.
The staff members also quickly went to knock on the door of the only resident of this floor, Mr. Zhu.
Zhuo Yu'an rushed out because he heard the piercing fire alarm and saw all the rooms on other floors lit up. He had been smoking on the balcony furthest inside because of his bad mood, and was too far from the door to hear Tinglan's knocking and doorbell ringing.
As soon as the door opened, I saw the hotel concierge, floor manager, and several firefighters standing outside.
"Mr. Zhuo, are you alright"
"What happened" He didn't see Shu Tinglan behind the firefighter at first.
"It's alright, I just checked. It was this lady playing a prank and she intentionally pressed the fire alarm, disturbing your rest. We've called the police and they will be here shortly."
"Seriously disrupted the normal operations of our hotel."
Only then did Zhuo Yu'an slightly turn his head to look behind the fireman, and he saw Shu Tinglan pressed against the wall of the corridor, soaked all over, shivering.
He felt a mix of pain and anger, strode over to her and pulled her close, then turned to the hotel concierge and said:
“It was a misunderstanding, I apologize! I'll take care of all the expenses.”
After that, he took Shu Tinglan into his room and closed the door directly.
He was furious and shoved her into the bathroom without a word. Then, he poured scalding water over her head while ripping off her icy clothes.
Shu Tinglan remained silent, struggling in vain while glaring at him with the look of a sworn enemy, as if wishing to tear him limb from limb. Their strength was vastly different; with just a little more effort, Zhuo Y uan could easily overpower her.
This value is late autumn, and the temperature at night has become very low. Shu Tinglan was just outside a moment ago and was sprayed with icy water by the fire hose. She was really shivering from the cold. After pouring hot water on herself, she felt better, and her strength returned a little, but in the steamy water mist, the porcelain tile floor under her feet was slippery, and she still couldn't muster the strength to escape.
Zhuo Yu'an's own clothes were soaked through, his white shirt clinging tightly to his muscular body. With one hand, he took off the drenched shirt.
"What do you want to do" Shu Tinglan was both angry and nervous. The atmosphere in the bathroom made it almost impossible to think.
She finally warmed up, and then Zhuo Yunan turned off the hot water. The white mist was very large, and as the hot water was turned off, the mist gradually disappeared, and they could finally see each other's true faces clearly.
Raindrops trailed down his forehead, one by one, from his cheek to his jaw, landing on his chest. It was a place of solid muscle, taut and powerful. His eyes were red-rimmed, burning into hers with an almost fiery intensity, full of allure.
Shu Tinglan's whole body flushed red, she only hated that he kept pushing her like this, driving her to death.
With a gesture of his hand, she jumped back in fright, clutching herself tightly and going on full alert.
Zuo Yu'an actually laughed, then draped a soft and wide bathrobe over her. Surrounded by warmth, the worry in her heart finally subsided.
He smiled sarcastically and said, “Relax, I’m not like some people who take advantage of others when they’re drunk.”
After finishing, he tied a bathrobe around his waist and exited the bathroom first. His figure was well-proportioned, truly broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted.
When Shu Tinglan came out wrapped in a bathrobe, rustling softly, he was already dressed and sitting in the living room watching a tablet. He was still wearing his shirt, but unlike usual, the buttons weren't buttoned neatly. This time, the top two buttons were unbuttoned, giving off a hint of laziness amidst the elegance.
Shoutinglan's clothes were a silk shirt and a knee-length skirt, which had just been ripped off by him in a frenzy. The shirt had come undone, and the hem of the skirt had torn. She tossed them straight into the trash can and came out wrapped in a bathrobe.
He looked up from his tablet to glance at her.
"Are you sure you won't go back to your room and change into another outfit before talking to me" Zhuo Yu'an just glanced at her, seeming indifferent as he turned his head back to look at his tablet. In reality, he couldn't bear to look at her any longer.
I was in the bathroom just now, and it was so unbearable.
A normal man, in front of his beloved woman, who could truly be chaste Especially since she's breathtakingly beautiful right now, with wet hair, smooth skin, and a complexion so fair and rosy that the white bathrobe barely conceals it. She looks like a ripe peach, just waiting to be picked.
As if he had guessed her mind, he said
“Go change your clothes and come talk to me again. Don't worry, my door will be open.” It implied that he wouldn't shut her out like he had before.
At this moment, the teacher's wife called.
“Tinglan, the front desk just said that the alarm on your 26th floor went off. Is everything alright”
"It's okay, it was a misunderstanding." I lost my temper just now and accidentally pressed the fire alarm. a good person marred by that mouth of his.Joining him in the office was Han Ya from the actuarial department. He had just pitched a new project at the meeting, one that required the actuarial departm...
