Chapter 96: Brother Tingzhou's Phone Call

Returning to Songming Road, Shuangxu looked around before getting off the car and found that the car from that morning was indeed gone.

He Tingzhou didn't say whether he would come or not, and she didn't ask either. It would be better for him not to come.

However, when she finished her shower and came out of the bathroom, He Tingzhou was already standing in the bedroom.

His suit jacket was thrown on the stool at the end of the bed, and his tie was thrown so casually that one end hung on the ground. He stood in front of the table, flipping through the book she bought today, while slowly taking off his cufflinks.

Hearing the voice, he raised his eyes and glanced at her, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

"Did you hear that?"

Shuang Xu said grimly: "You are talking so loudly in my ear that even the dead can hear it."

"It seems that making a wish into your ear is more effective." He Tingzhou walked past her slowly, "Princess Aladdin."

“…”

Shuang Xu lay on the bed for a while. When He Tingzhou came out of the shower, the other half of the mattress sank slightly.

He lay down on his side and propped his head up: "Let's get started."

He didn't look like he was going to sleep, but rather like the dean of studies who came to listen to an open class and was going to give her a grade after the class.

Shuang Xu turned around and looked at him: "Are you going to sleep now?"

He Tingzhou: “Hmm.”

Shuang Xu picked up the storybook and began to read to him.

He Tingzhou stared at her.

There was a warm orange wall lamp in the bedroom, and my eyes followed the soft light from her brow to the tip of her nose, and finally to her lips. The light penetrated her clear skin, presenting a texture that was almost translucent.

Frost Preface's voice is neither soft nor heavy, but just the right middle value. The speed of reading the story is neither fast nor slow, like a clear spring rain falling gently.

He Tingzhou didn't hear a word she said. He leaned over when she was halfway through reading.

Shuang Xu stopped, and his face moved closer and closer in her sight. His warm lips covered her lips, and he pursed her lips and kissed her slowly and delicately, as if he was tasting candy.

The kiss was as gentle as drizzling rain, as if there was really a spring rain, and a moist and fresh scent was flowing in the air.

After kissing for a while, he stepped back and put his hands naturally around her waist.

As Shuang Xu continued to recite, the hand gently wandered over her body, from her abdomen to her waist, and then slid down, with his fingertips tracing the shape of her bones through her silk nightgown.

Shuang Xu gritted his teeth: "Are you listening or not?"

"I'm listening." He Tingzhou's voice was a little lazy. "I don't know the rules in your family, but I listen to stories with my ears."

"You're affecting me."

He raised his bony right hand and said, "My hand is boring. What do you think I should do?"

"……"That hand could do many things. Shuang Xuteng stretched out a hand to hold it to prevent it from causing trouble.

That hand was held by He Tingzhou and wrapped around her waist.

This time he lay down obediently with his eyelids closed, and Shuang Xu tried to move forward a little.

"Where are you going?"

"Not going anywhere." Shuang Xu said, "You're holding me too tight. It's a bit hot."

"Then take off your clothes?"

"……No."

She didn't dare to move anymore and continued to read the story resignedly.

She stopped only after He Tingzhou fell asleep, and then fell asleep in his arms.

Xu Zhen came to deliver breakfast as usual in the morning. He didn't buy coffee today because the boss issued an order yesterday: Mr. Song will not drink coffee starting today.

Xu Zhen had no idea why. Every time Shuang Xu went to Yundun, he liked to drink the coffee freshly brewed by his secretary. But there was no need to question the boss's orders, just obey them.

He Tingzhou was in a good mood early in the morning, just like yesterday.

This state of physical and mental happiness is rare, and Xu Zhen was afraid of ruining his mood, so he was extremely careful when mentioning the upcoming business trip arrangements.

"It was booked half a month ago. Hong Kong is already prepared and waiting for you to come over."

He Tingzhou is a free-spirited person who always follows his own way when it comes to work and never postpones his schedule.

But he had never decided to attend an unnecessary summit on the spur of the moment, and had never stayed overnight at a woman's home, so he was unsure and it was better to be safe than sorry.

He Tingzhou clicked his tongue.

The two words "As expected" popped up in Xu Zhen's mind.

"How many days?" He Tingzhou asked.

"Five days."

Chen Peiran's lawsuit officially opened, and Shuang Xu accompanied Shu Yang to the court.

The lawyer named Zhao that Shen Yu hired for her is an expert in economic cases, so handling a small case like this is a piece of cake for him.

The defense lawyer that Chen Peiran hired at a high price was very professional, but in front of Lawyer Zhao he was like a kitten meeting a tiger.

At the trial, Attorney Zhao was on top of his game, and the opposing lawyers were completely powerless to fight back. Chen Peiran looked pale, and Shu Yang, who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat, almost laughed out loud.

The case involved a large amount of money, and Chen Peiran eventually lost the case and was sentenced to one and a half years in prison.

As soon as the trial was over, Shu Yang rushed over and hugged Shuang Xu. The whole courtroom echoed with her joyful voice: "God has eyes!"

Lawyer Zhao said, "It's not God's will. Financial lawsuits are always troublesome. Chen Xing was unwilling to give up the money he had earned. This time it was so smooth because Master Shen urged us to do so."

Chen Peiran stared at them from a distance: "Don't be complacent, I will appeal!"

Shu Yang was too lazy to pay attention to him and said to the bailiff, "Come here, take him away!"

When they came out of the court, Shen Yu was waiting for them outside.

At noon, Shen Yu booked a restaurant to have lunch together. This meal was both a celebration and a way to thank Lawyer Zhao.

At the table, Shu Yang thanked him again and again, and Attorney Zhao said, "Don't thank me, thank Mr. Shen instead."

Shu Yang picked up the cup solemnly and said, "Mr. Shen, thank you for your care during this period. I am very grateful."

Shen Yu smiled and said, "You are Xiaojiu's friend, so you don't have to be so polite to me. If you want to thank someone, thank Xiaojiu."

This was Shu Yang's first formal meeting with him. Shen Yu was much more charming in person than in photos. Still photos could capture his handsomeness, but they could not capture his grace in every move.

After meeting him in person, Shu Yang understood why so many women were obsessed with him and why Shuang Xu suffered from that love.

Anyone would fall in love with a man like this who pampers them in his hands.

Shuang Xu sat next to Shen Yu while eating.

Halfway through her meal, her cell phone on the table lit up.

When Shuang Xu saw the four words on the screen, her heart instantly jumped to her throat. Shen Yu, who was talking to Lawyer Zhao, looked at her.

She reacted quickly, picked up the phone and hung up.

"Why don't you answer it?" Shen Yu asked.

Shuang Xu said, "It's okay, you can come back after dinner."

She acted very calm, and it was not unusual for her to hang up on an unimportant phone call during a meal, so Shen Yu did not suspect anything.

But before Shuang Xu could breathe a sigh of relief, "Brother Tingzhou" called again.

Seeing Shen Yu's gaze turning again, it would be a disaster if he saw the note.

She quickly stood up with her phone in hand: "She seems a little anxious, I'd better answer it."
