The electrocardiogram showed no abnormalities, it was normal, but he insisted that he didn't feel well. He said this heartbeat wasn't usual and different from the intense beating he felt when exercisi..."Mmm... let's go home." This is an elevator shaft.

But Zhuo Yuyan didn't mind, because this was the elevator entrance to his home. Only his family lived on this floor, providing excellent privacy. Besides, he was overflowing with tenderness and couldn't bear to be separated from her for even a moment.

She hadn't felt this truly connected to him in a long time, their minds in perfect sync. How could he bear to let go It was getting to the point where they'd have to start performing inappropriate acts right there in the elevator if he didn't open the door soon. Shu Tinglan shoved him hard and turned to open the door, finally putting a stop to it.

He, on the other hand, was quite quiet, standing to the side watching and trembling slightly. Shu Tinglan, who had been struggling to press her fingerprints, chuckled. The smile started at the corner of his lips and reached his eyes, it was incredibly alluring.

"I will."

A low, husky voice, laced with seduction, came from behind her as it wrapped its arms around her. It lifted her hand, pressing her fingertip onto the scanner with unnerving accuracy. The door clicked open with a soft thud, and he pulled her inside, turning as they went through.

After listening to Shu Tinglan, he only felt dizzy and disoriented....

Later that afternoon, Shu Tinglan didn't touch the ground with her feet, she was more tired than running 10 kilometers. She stayed under the covers, not wanting to move an inch, while the dog man chuckled, holding her and the blanket in his arms.

"In poor physical condition, lacking exercise"

"Get lost!"

"When will you change the habit of using things up and throwing them away" he said, pinching her rosy cheeks.

Don't you have any shame It sounds like he didn't get anything out of it. Who was the one who couldn't control themselves just now

She glared at him, her eyes glistening with tears, her red lips like peaches, her slightly damp hair falling onto her smooth forehead. Zhuo Yunan only felt his throat tighten and become dry instantly.

Shu Tinglan noticed his change and immediately said nervously,

"I'm hungry, go cook dinner soon."

If this continues, I'm really going to be unable to get out of bed. She took today off to rest up so she could work better tomorrow, not to put up with his shenanigans.

Zhuo Yu'an wasn't completely unrestrained either. He just endured it for a while. Since he hadn't been home for several days, the kitchen was empty. He called the head chef at the clubhouse downstairs to have some food prepared and sent up.

"What would you like to eat" He handed the menu to Shu Tinglan.

"Just anything." While he was ordering, she quickly changed into a housecoat. It was already summer, yet she still wore long sleeves and pants, prepared for anything.

Zhuo Yuyan glanced at him and smiled: “That’s unnecessary.” If he really wanted to do something, could these clothes stop him

Once she was dressed, she wasn't afraid anymore. She sat beside him and carefully read the menu. She didn't have high expectations for food; as long as it filled her stomach, that was enough. It was Zhuo Yu'an who was particular about his meals. He ordered two vegetarian dishes, two meat dishes, and a soup.

The head chef of the club made it quickly and personally brought it up to him.

During a meal, I received a video call from Lin Zhixian.

"Why aren't you at home I called for ages and you didn't answer." She sounded accusatory.

"Busy, my phone is on silent so I didn't hear." She answered sheepishly, while Zhou Yu'an on the other end laughed.

"We won the lawsuit Want to celebrate" Lin Zhiyao thought, it's been a long time since they had a good gathering.

"No... let's do it another day." It wasn't just that I didn't have the energy to go out, but also that in my current state, Lin Zhixuan would surely see right through me and find something. There was no way I could avoid getting scolded by her.

But, there was no need for a face-to-face meeting. From her guilty expression in the video, Lin Zhiyao knew exactly what was going on.

Is someone surnamed Zhuo around you Are you at Zhuo Yu'an's house

Before Shu Tinglan could answer, Zhuo Yu'an on the opposite side answered first.

"Yes, Manager Lin. Listen is with me. And I want to correct you, this isn't my home, it's hers."

“Mr. Zhu speaks so sweetly, what does he mean by ‘her house’ Does the property deed have her name on it” Lin Zhixian sneered, “These men, they all say nice things with their mouths, but when it comes to financial interests, they’re clearer than anyone else. As a relationship blogger for many years, I’ve seen too much.”

On the other side, Zhuo Yu'an calmly said:

"Yes, the deed is in her name."

Not only was Lin Zhi'ao shocked, but even Shu Tinglan was astonished. When did she become the homeowner Wasn't buying a house supposed to require her consent

"Hold on, let's talk later."

"Wait a minute...rich woman...don't forget your humble beginnings once you've achieved wealth!" Lin Zhifei's voice trailed off.

Shu Tinglan closed the video and looked at the man opposite her, who seemed calm and collected.

"What's going on How could the property be in my name"

"Oh, before we got our marriage license, Mom put your household registration book and your ID card with me. I took care of transferring everything while I was at it. It all went smoothly because I knew someone who could help."

"You changed your name back." Shu Tinglan put down her chopsticks, very serious. She didn't want any financial entanglement with Zhuo Yu'an.

"There's no need to change it, anyway, it's joint property." It was bought for her originally, and I knew she didn't feel secure, so I transferred it into her name.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm only after your wealth" Shu Tinglan asked back.

"Are you" he countered, without directly answering her question.

Shu Tinglan immediately refused to communicate further. He always did this, never easily revealing his inner thoughts to her, and disliked answering her questions directly. She then also refused to answer anymore.

Zuo Yu'an saw that she was unhappy, and then he said seriously.

"Tinglan, if you are truly greedy for wealth, I should be the one rejoicing. For I possess nothing of value, all I have left is this money. If you desire it, take it all."

This is very Versailles, meaning you're so rich that you're practically broke.

If it weren't for his eyes being so sincere right now, Shu Tinglan would suspect he was showing off.

But Zhuo Yuan's words were genuine. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a child of privilege. From birth to growth and later to entrepreneurial development, he had always sailed smoothly, leaving his peers far behind.

However, when he counted, he had nothing.

As a child, he had no childhood. His grandfather kept him by his side every day, personally cultivating him. He had no playmates; everyone he saw was around the same age and position as his grandfather.

Back then, there was only Lu Kuò. He was also brought by Old Master Lu to hone himself. When the adults talked business, the two children didn't dare to move around. They just sat there, staring at each other. Coming and going like this, they became familiar with each other, even without exchanging a word.

Later, during his adolescence, he lived like an orphan as his parents were always on business trips. He was alone at home with no one to talk to. As he grew into adulthood, he studied and worked abroad, his life revolving solely around learning and work.

Later on, he made a lot of money and achieved a high status. But money and power were never things he lacked or desired.

It had been many years drifting about, feeling empty. When I saw Shu Tinglan again, my heart finally settled. It was her, she's the one for me, the only one for this lifetime. Every moment with her feels like life is complete, there's nothing better.

Shu Tinglan had no way of knowing what thoughts were racing through Zhuo Yu'an's mind at that moment. Though his words had moved her for a fleeting moment, she quickly regained her composure and resolutely refused to accept the mansion.

Every day, I secretly crave driving...ed the door for Lu Kuo and then said to Gu Ruandong, "Go home first."Gu Ruandong nodded and saw them enter the house.Lu Kuo rarely got angry, but when he did, it was quite scary. So Lu Yaoyao lowered...
