Chapter 1331: Chapter 1330: The Scent of Perfume Chapter 1331: Chapter 1330: The Scent of Perfume Lin Lin knew that Zhou Shengting was watching her, so she wanted to perform even better.

She had to let CEO Zhou know that she could help him, whether in life or at work.

Lin Lin sat down and then poured another cup of tea for Zhou Shengting.

Tea could sober one up.

Lin Lin glanced at Zhou Shengting and saw that his face was calm and composed, which secretly pleased her.

The entire atmosphere of the social interaction was very harmonious.

Soon, the contract was negotiated, and seeing that it was about time, Zhou Shengting checked the time. Everyone began saying their goodbyes and headed home.

It was only after nearly everyone had left that Zhou Shengting and Lin Lin stood up.

However, Zhou Shengting quickly noticed that Lin Lin seemed to have drunk a bit too much. She had urged a few drinks on his behalf just now. Her cheeks were a bit flushed now, and she staggered slightly as she walked, not very steady.

Out of decency, Zhou Shengting helped steady her.

Unexpectedly, Lin Lin couldn’t keep her balance and suddenly threw herself into Zhou Shengting’s arms.

A man’s scent overwhelmed her, and Lin Lin secretly rejoiced in her heart, thinking that she had successfully taken the first step.

She believed her future would win CEO Zhou’s favor.

Zhou Shengting also reacted quickly. The moment she fell into his arms, he immediately pulled her up.

Lin Lin felt a pang of disappointment and pretended to apologize, “CEO Zhou, I’m sorry for the trouble.”

“It’s okay, can you walk by yourself?” Zhou Shengting still asked with a bit of concern.

Lin Lin flicked her long hair with her hand and then gently said, “Yes, I can handle my liquor. I just need a little rest.”

“Alright then, I’ll take you home,” Zhou Shengting said, then picked up his coat from the chair.

As they walked, Zhou Shengting asked for her home address and then instructed his driver to take her home first.

Zhou Shengting got home around 11 PM. It was later than he realized, and he guessed that Bai Lan had probably gone to sleep.

But when he entered his bedroom, he found Bai Lan still propped up in bed reading.

He furrowed his brows slightly, then walked over and gently took the book from Bai Lan’s hands. “Why are you still awake so late?”

Bai Lan had noticed him coming in.

“Why are you so late tonight?” Bai Lan asked with a smile, which quickly faded when a whiff of a woman’s perfume hit her.

Hadn’t he said he was entertaining Chairman Chen tonight? Could it be he had brought a female companion?

“Uh, something held me up, so I was a bit late,” Zhou Shengting hadn’t expected that the secretary’s home and his own were in opposite directions, taking almost an hour to drop her off and return.

But he didn’t explain this to Bai Lan, thinking it was a minor issue.

Seeing that he didn’t want to explain, Bai Lan didn’t inquire further. Some things, if not shared proactively, lose their significance when asked about.

“Then you should hurry and wash up, have some rest,” Bai Lan said indifferently.

“Alright, you go to sleep; you don’t need to wait for me in the future when I have social engagements, as they might run late,” Zhou Shengting thought Bai Lan was staying up because she was waiting for him.

“I’m not sleepy tonight, so I thought I’d read a bit,” Bai Lan said as she lay down.

She stopped looking at Zhou Shengting, then slowly closed her eyes. But the vague scent of that perfume seemed to linger at the tip of her nose, making her feel nauseous and congested.

She had never liked such strong scents of perfume–the light scent she carried was usually just from her shower gel.

Before, Zhou Shengting had often said he liked her natural scent. Had he changed now?
