Chapter 86 Phone Call from the Study
That night, the two returned to Luyuan. As soon as they got out of the car, Lin Shutang's phone vibrated several times. She glanced at the screen and saw that the trending search that had been removed a few moments ago had suddenly reappeared, and at a higher position than before. Apparently, someone had paid to buy the trending search back.
Lin Shutang stopped and stood quietly for a few seconds looking at the tall figure in front of her. Apart from Li Yansheng, she couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing.
She tightened her grip on her phone and trotted forward, walking side by side with the man. As he tentatively approached, a warm hand naturally lifted up and held hers firmly. Two dark figures, shadowed by the streetlight, huddled very close together.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Lin Shutang heard footsteps at the door of the room and got up to check.
It was rare that Aunt Lu hadn't gone to rest yet. She was holding a cup of coffee and seemed to be going to the study.
Lin Shutang gathered his pajamas and asked, "Aunt Lu, isn't he going to sleep yet?"
Aunt Lu smiled kindly: "Well, the master said it will take a while."
Hearing this, Lin Shutang walked out of the room: "I'll take it over!"
Aunt Lu was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly and handed the cup to her: "Okay."
The study door was not closed. Lin Shutang knocked on it. The person inside did not turn around, still talking on the phone with his back to the door. He only raised his voice and said, "Come in."
His suit jacket was taken off and casually draped over the chair in front of the large desk. He was only wearing a smoky gray shirt.
He was talking on the phone with one hand and resting the other hand on his trouser belt. The black leather looked bright under the night light.
"Don't worry about Zhou Congmin... just continue to improve the plan... I will take care of this matter..." The man's voice was neither hurried nor slow, and it was calm and solid, reassuring.
Lin Shutang walked over, put the coffee on the table, then picked up the coat that was about to fall on the chair and put it back on the chair.
A few minutes later, the call ended. The person at the window turned around and saw the girl looking quiet and gentle. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I can't sleep." Lin Shutang stood quietly, glanced at the phone in Li Yansheng's hand, pursed her lips and asked, "Is the company in trouble?"
She understood some of Li Yansheng's recent phone call. It seemed that Zhou Congmin had caused some trouble for Li Yansheng's company's project.
Without having to think too deeply, she subconsciously felt that this matter was related to her, and said apologetically: "Mr. Li, have I caused you trouble again?"
When she said this, Li Yansheng had already sat down on the sofa. Seeing the girl's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and the guilt she looked like she was filled with resentment, he stopped lighting a cigarette and patted his knees: "Come here."
Lin Shutang walked over obediently, but did not sit on his lap, just stood in front of him.
Li Yansheng reached out and pulled the person onto his lap.
Lin Shutang was a bit slow to react to his sudden action. At the moment of the force, her whole body fell backwards due to inertia. The next second, a big hand on her lower back firmly held her steady.
The two of them ended up facing each other half-sideways, with Lin Shutang wearing only her nightgown. The silk fabric wasn't very thick, and she could clearly feel the warmth of his legs.
"Are you afraid that I can't solve it?" He asked, supporting her back with his left hand and placing his right hand on her waist.
Such an ambiguous posture didn't seem like a proper conversation, and Lin Shutang's face inevitably turned red with embarrassment. She slowly shook her head, then struggled to stand up.
When she stood up, Li Yansheng still kept one hand in the same position as when he was holding her.
Seeing the person leave, he didn't say anything, but continued: "You did a good job. As for the rest, it's not your business to worry about."
