now he even knows to send you messages every day. He's making progress.”From then on, Shu Tinglan's heart finally let go completely.Two days later, Wen Jian appeared at the law firm again. Shu Tingla...Lin Zhixu was that kind of worldly-wise person, so he didn't take Tang Mi seriously at all.

Besides, Shi Yan was very good to her. As the year-end approached, it was his busiest time, but in order to accompany her, he tried his best to push off any appointments that could be pushed. For those that couldn't be pushed, he would take her along, allowing her to fully integrate into his life and giving her a sense of security.

She hasn't returned to school lately because Tinglan is living with her and taking care of her mother. She has been staying at Shiyan's place the whole time.

She is a person who is not stingy with expressing love. At home, the most she says is: Teacher Shi loves you.

The most frequent act is to kiss him, and caress him when he's unaware.

Of course, every time Shi Yan was attacked, he would fight back by taking her head in his arms and kissing her hard.

Lin Zhihao said: Teacher Shi, I love you.

He would also smile and reply: I love you, baby.

Shi Yan had indeed dated several girlfriends before, but the one who made him think about marriage and spending his life with her was this woman.

On the weekend, he took Lin Zhi to see his friend Zhang Cheng.

As an important partner to their company, Zhang Cheng had already heard a lot of gossip about them.

After an intern's hot dance performance at the annual meeting, rumors spread that she spent the night in Mr. Shi's room and they drove away together the next day. The story was incredibly captivating and widely circulated.

Zhang Cheng took advantage of Lin Zhi's leaving to use the restroom and asked him:

"This is the interesting girl you were talking about"

"It was her," Shi Yan admitted generously.

“Your taste is a mystery, this girl looks completely different from Tang Su.”

Zhang Cheng wanted to say something more, but seeing Lin Zhi's return from the restroom, he quickly shut his mouth.

Lin Zhihao said carelessly: "What are we talking about, so mysteriously"

She loves being around people and socializing. She doesn't have the so-called social anxiety that many young people talk about these days. Even when she first met Zhang Cheng, she was very outgoing.

He smiled and shrugged, not answering.

Before meeting her, based on Shi Yan's description, I thought she was a naive and innocent college girl. But after actually meeting her, I found that she was too proactive in personality and too alluring in appearance. In any way, she didn't seem like the type Shi Yan would genuinely like. Therefore, I speculated that Shi Yan was just trying something new for a change of taste.

Lin Zhiyao sat beside Shi Yan, leaning against him, and began to look at Zhang Cheng.

He dared to look her up and down, and she dared to look back. She wasn't born to be a pushover by nature.

Shi Yan smiled and rubbed her hair encouragingly.

"Zhang Zong is our former teacher's childhood friend" she asked sincerely.

"Yes."

"Oh..." she trailed off, her voice lingering with a suggestive tone.

"What, no" asked Zhang Cheng.

"No, it's just that I think Mr. Shi is a very gentlemanly and polite teacher. I'm a little curious, how did you two become friends" She was blatantly looking down on Zhang Cheng, thinking he lacked manners.

Zhang Chenghao, despite being the boss of a company, was put down by a young girl. It was embarrassing for him, so he also retorted.

“That’s because Shi Yan is broad-minded.” He was also implying that Shi Yan would date anyone.

Lin Zhihao was speechless. He couldn't think of a single word to refute the accusation, his brain short-circuited.

Shi Yan poured her a glass of water: "Have some water first."

Then, looking across at Zhang Cheng, he said slowly:

"Teacher Qin had you read the classic novel Pride and Prejudice in middle school, right You haven't finished even the first chapter yet, have you Maybe this Spring Festival when you go back home, ask Teacher Qin to send you another one"

When Lin Zhicheng heard Shi Yan's words, he not only calmed down instantly but also looked at Zhang Cheng with arrogance. He glanced at our Teacher Shi's rank and wondered how many levels higher it was than yours.

Zhang Cheng: "Shi Yan, you've fallen."

For the first time, I attacked my good friend for a woman.

Shi Yan is putting her words into action: she won't judge herself based on others' opinions. She has her own eyes, ears, and heart, and she will see what Lin Zhixuan truly is like.

She is warm and outgoing, outspoken and bold in her actions. However, she also has principles and bottom lines, and she knows very clearly what she wants and doesn't want. These are all qualities that Shi Yan admires.

Zhang Cheng saw that Shi Yan was serious, not just playing around. Afterward, his attitude towards Lin Zhixuan improved a lot.

Lin Zhiyao is not someone who is calculative. He readily went along with Zhang Cheng and poured him a cup of wine.

To Mr. Zhang, this cup is for you. We hope to have your continued support in the future.

Zhang Cheng took the wine and finished it in one gulp, only then did he realize that Lin Ziyue had a glass of water herself. She smiled and said:

"I drink to you with water."

Shi Yan: "I allow it. Any objections"

Zhang Cheng spread his hands: “What opinions could I possibly have about people who are blindly and without limits in their adoration”

Lin Zhixuan knew they were close and was secretly delighted. Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, she replied, "Bottom line Doting without a brain You misunderstand Teacher Shi. He's very principled."

Zhang Cheng chuckled twice, then suddenly as if remembering something: "I just wanted to ask, why do you always call him 'Teacher Shi' He doesn't seem like a good teacher at all."

This... Lin Zhi's face turned red, her heart skipped a beat, and she shyly replied, "He's a good teacher."

Nearby, Shi Yan smiled faintly, without continuing the topic, calmly drinking water there.

Zhang Cheng nodded, realizing it was a nickname couples use for each other.

Shi Yan, you are no longer the Shi Yan you used to be.

This meal, aside from the initial unpleasantness, was quite pleasant. Zhang Cheng, putting aside his habit of judging people by their appearance, came to think of Lin Zhi as a good and interesting girl.

After the dinner ended, and Lin Zhifan sent Zhang Cheng home, he said:

"This afternoon, could you take me to see Lan's house I want to see her mother."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"It might be a bit inconvenient. Tinglan's mom isn't very comfortable with strangers, especially men," Lin Zhizhuo said with a hint of apology.

"Okay, just let me know if you need help with anything. I'll come pick you up later."

"By the way, Lan asked me to thank you. You've helped her a lot."

Although Shi Yan didn't say anything, Lin Zhi from the HR manager knew that during the planning of next year's salary, it was he who specifically instructed Ting Lan to increase her salary.

Shi Yan generously accepted their thanks and drove them to their destination. After that, he drove back to the company to work overtime.

He was surprised to receive a call from Tang Su on the road. If he calculated correctly, they hadn't been in contact for at least two years.

"Shi Yan, it's me." Her voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello," he politely responded, waiting for the other person to speak.

I'm on a business trip to Senzhou, and I'd like to treat you to dinner tonight. Are you free

"He's pretty busy, I guess he doesn't have time." That was his usual way of handling things when it came to getting together with ex-lovers. If they had something important to say, they could get together, but dinner wasn't necessary.

"I have something to talk to you about." Tang Su said sincerely.

"When I'm at the company, come to the company and find me." Shi Yan invited her to the company.w she was delicate and had her limits, even when she acted wild, it was always within a controlled range she could handle.Lu Yaoyao wrapped herself tighter and continued to glare at him angrily. He wa...
