Chapter 743: Time's Love

u Tinglan had told Zhuo Yu'an about her hospital visit. She couldn't believe that Shu Tinglan would remain silent on such a golden opportunity to tattle. 。Ke Shu Ting Lan remained as if nothing had ha...Lin Zhixiao was very fortunate that her first time was led by a mature man like Shi Yan. To a great extent, he taught her what was good and what was bad, at least in the rest of her life, she could distinguish between right and wrong and remain true to herself.

In the dead of night, Shi Yan asked her if she wanted to return to her own room, worried that she might be gossiped about by her colleagues in the same room for staying out late.

Lin Zhixuan shook his head, still clinging to him tightly, and joked mischievously: "Teacher Shi doesn't recognize people after the second class, does he"

Actually, she was originally supposed to share a room with Tinglan, but Tinglan took a leave of absence to care for her mother at home, so she's living alone and there's no risk of being discovered by colleagues.

Shi Yan was amused by her anger, held her for a while, and then said seriously, "I won't turn my back on you. I will always be responsible to you."

"Mr. Shi doesn't often tell me, in this world, only you can be responsible for yourself, right"

"Well, you take care of yourself, and I'll take care of you."

Lin Zhihao was moved, and for the countless time, he couldn't help but feel that there was such a good man.

On the second day of the conference, the morning was free for activities, and in the afternoon a bus was arranged to return to the city.

Lin Zhiyao slept until noon in Shi Yan's suite. When she woke up, she found Shi Yan was not in the room. He left her a message saying he took several high-level executives of the company for a hike that morning.

Hiking

Lin Zhi's body trembled. Teacher Shi is really strong!

Her legs felt weak, and she trembled slightly as she quietly left his room. Her colleagues from the administration department were already lining up to be bused back to the city.

She quickly got into the car and sat down in a window seat.

As soon as she sat down, she saw Shi Yan's car parked beside her bus. He was sitting in the driver's seat, making a phone call with his window rolled down.

The colleagues sitting next to him on the bus, both male and female, all looked at him in unison and murmured, "He's so handsome."

He sat calmly in the driver's seat, talking on the phone with a faint smile in his eyes. It was obvious he was talking to a girl. You wouldn't guess otherwise because this expression wouldn't be used when talking to friends, family, or clients and colleagues.

Lin Zhixuan was lost in his own handsomeness when his phone buzzed a few times.

She had been secretly taking the call: "Hello"

The other party said concisely, "Come out, get in my car and go back."

"I'm already on the bus."

"I know, so I let you come sit in my car."

"Don't, okay" Lin Zhihao looked around at his colleagues who were all staring at him. He didn't want to be the center of attention.

Shi Yan suddenly looked up, accurately fixing his gaze on her reflection in the glass window.

Could his eyes see right through me

There was a gasp from inside the car, and several bold male and female colleagues rolled down their windows to wave and shout at him.

"Mr. Shi, you're so handsome!"

"Shi Zong, we love you."

The car immediately became lively and bustling.

Because he's usually pretty approachable, outside of work colleagues are all pretty lively. Shi Yan gave them a slight nod and then looked at Lin Zhixuan again.

"Wow, is Mr. Shi always looking at me"

"Stop showing off, you were looking at me the whole time."

The female and male colleagues continued to joke with each other.

Lin Zhihao suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Stop arguing, Lao Shi...Shi Zong is looking at me."

She said it half-jokingly, half-seriously, then under everyone's watchful eyes, got off the bus. Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, she opened Shi Yan's car door in the passenger seat and climbed in with practiced ease.

Shi Yan then slowly closed the car window and drove away.

Damn it!

Isn't this a joke

The people on this bus have just realized that it wasn't a joke.

At this moment, someone whispered: "Lin Zhihao came out of Mr. Shi's room this morning."

Everyone in the car was at a loss for words to describe how they felt at that moment.

It's shocking yet strangely unsurprising. Mr. Shi and Lin Zhi are both far from innocent.

Only a few veteran employees, stole glances at the secretary sitting in the front row with an ashen face, remaining silent.

Lin Zhihao today is really going all out, thinking that he attended the second, third, and even fourth classes last night... If he pretends to be unfamiliar in front of his colleagues, it wouldn't make sense.

Perhaps Teacher Shi thought the same way, so today she waited for her outside the bus to go back to the city together.

"Teacher Shi, if we go public with our relationship, will it affect your image in everyone's eyes" Lin Zhihao asked for the first time.

Colleagues at the company will only see Shi Yan and a new intern who has been there for just a few days together, they won't know that they knew each other before. She came to intern in order to pursue Teacher Shi.

Shi Yan said, "It's alright, I don't have much of an image to begin with."

His employees would say he's a good boss, and clients would say he's a reliable partner. But romantically, he'd probably be classified as a jerk.

"Then Lin Zhixuan felt relieved: "It's nothing, teacher. Both of our images are half a catty. In the past, many classmates privately spread rumors that I was kept by someone. Who knows, during my university years, I only seriously dated two boyfriends, holding hands at most."

Shi Yan listened to her words, reached out and touched her head, as if comforting.

“So what other people say doesn't matter, and I don't need to learn about you through others. I have eyes and a heart to judge for myself. You too, you should develop your own judgment.”

Lin Zhiyao nodded, she and Teacher Shi were in agreement. She never reads comments about herself, so she wouldn't read comments about Teacher Shi either.

So this is where they really mesh well, and it's the reason they get along so well.

After their relationship became public, things at the company didn't really change.

Shi Yan is very busy every day, attending meetings, seeing clients, and socializing.

Lin Zhihao interned at the Human Resources department. As he was responsible for recruitment, he had relatively free time towards the end of the year.

The only time the two interacted was after work, when Lin Zhixuan would go to his office and wait for him to finish his work before they went home together.

If he's out socializing, he would call a car for her to take her home when it's time to leave work. He takes care of her in every way possible, being both considerate and attentive.

If there had to be a difference, the only one was his secretary, Tang Yaqiong. Every time he saw her, he wore a disgusted expression on his face, making no attempt to hide his disdain for her.

Especially when she saw him waiting for Shi Yan after work, her eyes were like daggers, wanting to cut flesh from her.

Lin Zhihao, a shrewd person, could tell at once that this was jealousy. He sighed inwardly, thinking to himself that this must be Teacher Shi's emotional debt.

She's the kind of person who, even when others hate her with every fiber of their being, remains calm and collected, not giving them a second thought.

According to her and Tinglan, the logic behind this is: "This Tang secretary is obviously in love with him. Otherwise, with Teacher Shi's intelligence, how could she possibly keep a time bomb by her side"

"Besides, if Teacher Shi really had something with her and wanted to play both sides, she wouldn't be so proactive about making our relationship public."inglan, whether it's a real kiss or not, I can't lose this round."Lu Ku called just to say that, then hung up. So childish.Zuo Yu'an, disturbed by him, had no heart to work. He came over and hugged Ti...
