ks to her tireless efforts, she has become the planning director at a young age. 。There's a new development about to launch, and she's really busy with it. 。Then stay with me for another day, since yo...(The previous chapter's repetitions have been fixed. Please refer back to the previous version.) Let me know if you need anything else translated!

Zhuo Yu'an arrived and simply nodded to Zhou Ming without giving him much attention, or perhaps he did pay attention but deliberately ignored him.

"Go home." he whispered to Shu Tinglan.

All are men, with just a glance they understand each other.

Zhou Ming didn't care, he was just a little unbelievable. He looked at Shu Tinglan, how did he get together with Zhuo Yu'an again Could it be that I misread it Are you really such a vain girl

Zhou Ming said with a mischievous grin:

Don't you want to be my sister I'll make it happen for you.

Shu Tinglan couldn't help but laugh.

“Can you be any more childish”

"Hmph!"

Zhou Ming slammed on the gas and drove away. Anyway, the Zhuo Yuan Technology project was over, he wasn't feeling well, so he left without even saying goodbye to Zhuo Yu an.

Only Shu Tinglan and Zhu Yu'an were left, looking at each other with displeasure.

"Mom Don't you explain" he said, threateningly.

"It's none of your business. Besides, didn't I tell you to wait for me next door" Her tone was even more arrogant than his.

He said it with an air of righteousness, his face innocent. "I waited, but you never came. I was afraid you couldn't find me."

As soon as Shu Tinglan got into the car, he said softly.

"Am I really that bad Unacceptable" he said with great insecurity.

Shu Tinglan rolled her eyes internally and didn't want to bother with him.

"Why are you taking me to meet your colleagues We don't have anything to do with each other."

Zuo Yu'an smiled: "That's right. But don't casually call others 'Mom', it's easy to cause misunderstandings."

"You're meddling too much. I can call whoever I want."

Back home, Shu Tinglan still turned on all the lights in the house as usual. The empty living room left Zhu Y uan nowhere to stand or sit.

"Tomorrow I'll buy the furniture back for you. Otherwise, this wouldn't be a livable place."

Shutinglan didn't answer, glanced at Zhuo Yu'an, and felt strange in her heart. How could she allow him to come in and stay overnight Although they no longer had a relationship, this state was also wrong.

She started getting awkward again.

"You may leave now, thank you for bringing me."

Zhuo Yu'an laughed angrily: "Am I someone you can call at will and dismiss at will Haven't you heard the saying, 'It's easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away'"

She doesn't play by the rules, and neither does he, so they just stay put.

It was actually her state last night that scared him, and he didn't want to do anything, he just knew he couldn't leave her alone.

Shu Tinglan felt that this person had become increasingly shameless after returning this time. He used to have some self-respect; if she said something unpleasant, he would slam the door and leave. Now, nothing seemed to faze him anymore.

He went to take a shower by himself, and while he was drying his hair in the bathroom, something felt off. The light in the bathroom grew dimmer and dimmer, and the reflection in the mirror became more and more blurry, until everything was pitch black. That familiar feeling of suffocation, like someone was choking him, came rushing back again.

It felt like an invisible hand was squeezing her, suffocating her. Like a fish out of water, she could only gasp for air instinctively. She knew it was just another hallucination. Opening her mouth wide, she shouted "Zuo Yu'an" with all her might. She swore she screamed as loud as she could, but there was still no movement outside. The bathroom door remained stubbornly closed.

After a long while, the hands finally loosened their grip. She looked in the mirror again. The light was on, and her reflection was clear. It seemed as if that moment had never happened at all.

After blow-drying her hair, she walked out of the bathroom, very calm. She saw Zhuo YUAN was on the balcony helping to tidy up the clothes hanging there. He must not have heard her call him just now.

Or, she hadn't made a sound at all.

Zuo Yu'an saw her come out and frowned:

"Are you feeling unwell"

Her expression was calm, but her face was too pale, an eerie white.

"Have you ever seen a girl without makeup" she tossed that out, diving under the covers, feeling a bit tired. Just then, Lin Zhifan sent her a video, so she picked it up.

Lin Zhi's message was a complaint, she's been busy recruiting for Zhuo Yuan Technology lately. She's been flying all over the country to meet candidates and it's exhausting her.

"After finishing this deal, I'm really going to quit and focus on being a full-time emotional blogger."

"Do you know, Fu Shenyi is just insane. Even for a small technical position, he insists on interviewing personally. So several candidates, myself, the recruiting manager, and the technical lead went through multiple rounds of interviews. We finally decided to hire someone, but then he simply refused because one thing wasn't right. We had to start the whole process again! Does he think qualified candidates are just everywhere He's completely out of touch; he doesn't understand our struggles and is just overly critical. I'll just wait and see when he manages to build his team. When the team fails to be assembled within Zhu YUAN's deadline, he'll either be questioned about his abilities or fired – it'll serve him right."

Shu Tinglan listened quietly, noticing that although Lin Zhi'ao was scolding Fu Shanyi, there was more concern and worry in her words than anger. She smiled and didn't reply, waiting for her to continue.

As if hearing his name, Zhuo Yu'an from beside him replied nonchalantly.

He did the right thing. It's my principle to rather have fewer but better people.

On the video side, Lin Zhixuan looked at Zhuo Yunan in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

How did he get there Did you two get back together

"Shu Tinglan, have you forgotten the pain after your wounds healed Stay away from him."

Lin Zhihao wished he could crawl out of the screen.

"No, let's talk when you get back."

It wasn't companionship, but Zhuo Yu An's presence that gave her a sense of calm. Being alone in this house was terrifying. With him there, the fear seemed to lessen.

They still slept in each other's arms like last night. Zhuo Yu’an couldn't sleep, afraid that something like last night would happen again. He didn't fall asleep until Shu Tinglan fell asleep.

Just as if it were a scheduled alarm, he woke up again at the same time. Why is it the same time Because both last night and tonight when he woke up, he glanced at the time on his phone, 2:10 am.

Indeed, Shu Tinglan was not around.

The living room light was still dim, her black shadow flitting around the living room, as if searching for something. Though clearly terrified, she kept moving, searching relentlessly.

The living room was empty, with nothing in it. Her behavior seemed very strange. Finally, perhaps she couldn't find anything, she curled up in a corner of the living room, staring at her surroundings.

"Tinglan, what's wrong"

As he spoke, he switched on the living room light and dimmed it to the lowest setting, not wanting to startle her.

As the lights came on, Shu Tinglan shielded her eyes with her hand for a moment before lowering it to look at Zhu Yu'an in front of her. Despite the fear churning within her, when she looked at him, she forced herself to appear calm and collected, seemingly very composed.

"What's wrong" He crouched down in front of her, holding her hands, which were very cold.eagerly clicking on the missed call like winning the lottery. It displayed three words: Song Jingye. 。Just three words, the hardship of working and the coldness of the dormitory, all vanished, leaving...
