Chapter 168 It Turns Out That Night Was Shen Jianan
This time, we failed to play mahjong.
Originally, so many people could form a team, but after dinner, Lin Zhizhou was busy holding a small meeting with the inspection team members. Zhou Lu was taken away by Secretary Chen before dinner, and the relationship between the two may have eased.
Xiao Qing originally wanted to discuss official business with Lin Zhizhou, but she was distracted by personal matters and had no mood to work anymore.
She also didn't have dinner, and Shen Jianan was also taken away by her.
Seeing the two of them walking together, Shen Tinglan and Lin Zhiqiu were embarrassed and curious.
In the end, she and Lin Zhiqiu were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
In the living room.
Lin Zhiqiu said reluctantly: "Tinglan, I have to go back to Kyoto tomorrow too."
"Ah!" Shen Tinglan's expression fell and he looked unhappy.
Lian Zhiqiu also wanted to go back to Kyoto. She was very reluctant to let him go, but there was nothing she could do. Lin Zhiqiu also had to go to work, and he had been delayed here for more than a week.
Lin Zhiqiu noticed that she was a little emotional and put his arm around her shoulders: "What are you doing? It's not like we won't see each other anymore. When my brother finishes his inspection, you will get married. We will meet in Kyoto soon, sister-in-law."
When she called her sister-in-law, Shen Tinglan showed a hint of anticipation on her face.
"I'm with you tonight. You'll be gone tomorrow, and I won't be able to have fun with you. Let's just catch up tonight."
Lin Zhiqiu felt it was unrealistic: "Do you think my brother would agree?"
Shen Tinglan tilted his head, thinking about something in his mind: "Don't worry about this, I can get him to agree."
"Chen Tinglan, you're up to something again." Lin Zhiqiu couldn't help but smirk, "Teach me."
Chen Tinglan said shamelessly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are still so fancy. I just beckoned your brother to surrender. You love me so much that you can't stop. If you want me to do all the tricks, your brother can't stand it. I'm not bragging-"
"Oh? You are quite capable." A deep voice suddenly appeared from behind the two of them.
The two were stunned and turned around to see that the inspection team headed by Lin Zhizhou consisted of ten people, excluding Secretary Chen, standing behind them in unison, all with forced smiles on their faces.
When Shen Tinglan and Lin Zhiqiu were chatting, they walked and talked unconsciously, and the direction was the only way to the entrance of the villa.
She glanced at the big boss, who gave her a half-smile with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
A flock of crows flew over Shen Tinglan's head...
What are you doing.
She was always caught in such embarrassing situations, but fortunately she was thicker than a city wall.
Instantly, he put on a proper smile: "Oh, you guys are done with work, do you want to have some midnight snack?"
Lin Zhiqiu poked her arm: "I just had dinner an hour ago."
"Don't take this awkward atmosphere too seriously."
The two of them were talking openly in private, and the group of people opposite them quickly smiled and declined: "No, sister-in-law, let's go back early because we have work tomorrow."
"Thank you, Team Leader Lin, for your hospitality."
"Thank you Xiao Shen for the invitation."
“…”
A group of people walked while talking, and Shen Tinglan followed behind and said enthusiastically to them as they were about to get on the bus: "Come and play again next time."
As soon as she said this, she felt that it was exactly the same as what her mother said when she was seeing off the guests. It felt weird.
After seeing off the guests, they prepared to return to the hotel.
Shen Tinglan walked towards the kitchen, where Aunt Ge was washing kitchen utensils.
"Aunt Ge, you've worked so hard today." Shen Tinglan took out a prepared red envelope and said, "This is a holiday red envelope for you, just a token of my appreciation."
"Oh, Tinglan, this is not allowed. I am only doing my job." Aunt Ge wiped her hands and took out the red envelope that Shen Tinglan had put in her apron and pushed it back.
Shen Tinglan was not willing to do that. "Aunt Ge, you're welcome. This is the etiquette here. It's a must." After saying that, she ran away without giving Aunt Ge a chance to retreat.
Aunt Ge pinched the red envelope and sighed with a smile: "This child."
The three of them packed up and drove back to the hotel.
Inside the car.
Shen Tinglan and Lin Zhiqiu sat in the back row.
The two of them exchanged glances secretly, trying to tease each other, but in the end, Chen Tinglan cleared his throat twice to make his presence felt.
The senior leader who was driving looked over in the rearview mirror.
Shen Tinglan said quickly: "Well, Zhiqiu said she will go back tomorrow, I want to accompany her tonight."
"oh."
…
Gone? Just like that?
Do you agree or not?
She was about to speak when the leader spoke again: "I am very reasonable."
After he said this, the long speech that Shen Tinglan had prepared in his mind was useless.
You're smart.
Lin Zhizhou, who was in the driver's seat, turned the topic to Lin Zhiqiu: "Are you in a relationship?"
Originally, Lin Zhiqiu was sitting nearby listening to the fun, but when his brother asked him this question out of the blue, he subconsciously looked at Shen Tinglan.
Shen Tinglan shook his head frantically, "I didn't mention a single word about that."
Lin Zhiqiu was wondering whether she and the big guy were really dating. Before she could explain clearly, he was taken away by her grandfather.
His brother suddenly asked, and Lin Zhiqiu didn't want to lie, so he nodded silently.
Lin Zhizhou took a look in the rearview mirror and observed the little woman's reaction. It was obvious that she was an insider.
He warned calmly: "Be careful."
What should I pay attention to? Lin Zhiqiu was inexplicably called out, and he felt shocked and embarrassed.
What surprised him was that his brother was really different from before and his personality had become much softer.
The embarrassing thing is, she understood what her brother was saying to pay attention to.
Ten minutes later, the three arrived at the hotel.
Lin Zhizhou first sent them to the 13th floor. The three of them stood at the door, and Lin Zhiqiu used his card to swipe the door.
The door of the room next to her opened and a person came out.
Shen Tinglan's eyes bulged out in shock, and then another person came out.
Lin Zhiqiu's eyes also widened.
She and Shen Tinglan's passion for eating melons reached its peak.
Shen Jianan and Xiao Qing?
So, what Lin Zhiqiu mentioned before about her staying next door until the early morning? Were they the two of them?
To confirm, Shen Tinglan retracted his surprised expression and asked, “Mr. Xiao, have you always lived here?”
Xiao Qing was not embarrassed. It was normal for adults to fall in love.
"Yes, I've lived here since I came to Jiangcheng."
Shen Jianan, who was standing next to him, was completely embarrassed at being caught. He and his boss had been staying in the room since returning to the hotel in the afternoon. Now they were hungry and went out for a midnight snack.
He saw an expression on her sister's face that was hard to describe.
Shen Tinglan could almost confirm that they were the ones who made Lin Zhiqiu sleepless that night.
Lin Zhiqiu naturally understood.
The expressions on both of their faces were indescribable, and it was Lin Zhizhou's voice behind them that broke the strange atmosphere among them.
"Not going in?"
"Come in, come in." Lin Zhiqiu reached out to open the door.
Xiao Qing smiled and invited them: "Do you want to go for a midnight snack together?"
Shen Tinglan's eyes fell on the area below her collarbone. She knew what the mark was.
Then look at your younger brother.
Awesome.
Shen Jianan, you are awesome.
"No, that's not necessary. We need to rest early. You guys can eat slowly."
After saying that, he went into the house and closed the door, all in one go.
Lin Zhizhou was also locked out.
He raised his eyebrows, calm as usual, "Mr. Xiao is in a good mood." His eyes fell on Shen Jianan for a second.
Without saying anything, he turned and left.
Xiao Qing didn't care at all and walked behind with Shen Jianan's arm in arm.
In the room.
Chen Tinglan and Lin Zhiqiu were going crazy.
"So it was Jianan's brother that night."
