Chapter 1333: Chapter 1332: Found a Reason Chapter 1333: Chapter 1332: Found a Reason Zhou Shengting was focused on driving and didn’t notice anything unusual about Bai Lan.

Xiaobao was in the back seat, chattering away about his day at kindergarten.

Bai Lan was somewhat distracted; her mind was recalling recent events, wondering if Zhou Shengting had been acting differently.

But thinking about it, everything seemed normal, nothing unusual.

However, it could also be that he hid it too well, which is why she hadn’t noticed.

Xiaobao called Bai Lan twice, but she didn’t respond.

Zhou Shengting glanced at her and noticed she was daydreaming. “What’s the matter? Dear, are you feeling unwell?”

Bai Lan shook her head. “It’s nothing.”

Her tone was a bit cold and somber, not quite like usual.

Zhou Shengting furrowed his brows slightly, feeling that she had been acting a little strangely since the night before.

Soon, they arrived at the kindergarten, and after saying goodbye to Xiaobao, he went inside.

“How about it? Coming to the office with me?” Zhou Shengting asked.

“No, take me back to school. I want to get used to the environment again; it’s been so long since I’ve had classes, it feels a little strange.” Bai Lan didn’t want to be with Zhou Shengting at that moment; she needed some time to think, wondering if she might be entering a cooling-off period in their marriage.

“Alright, then I’ll pick you up for lunch,” Zhou Shengting thought he might have been neglecting her recently. Women are quite sensitive, perhaps she had something on her mind.

“No thanks, I’ve made plans to lunch with a colleague,” Bai Lan declined.

Zhou Shengting felt there really was an issue this time; it seemed like Bai Lan was deliberately opposing him, countering everything he said.

It wasn’t like her to do this before.

He kept his composure and then nodded, “Alright then.”

After dropping Bai Lan at school, Zhou Shengting returned to the company.

In the office, everyone was surrounding Lin Lin, eagerly asking, “How was it? How did you feel entertaining the CEO last night?”

Lin Lin felt proud but tried not to show it too much, so she said, “It was just business. You’re thinking too much, but CEO Zhou is really impressive; it seems he can negotiate any deal.”

Lin Lin truly admired him but her admiration had grown even further.

“How envious I am of you, to be able to go out alone with the CEO; what a rare opportunity!” a colleague said sourly.

Lin Lin smiled shyly, remembering how gently Zhou Shengting had taken care of her last night; she too recognized it as a rare opportunity.

Seeing this, there was a flurry of flattery, and Lin Lin enjoyed the moment.

However, Lin Lin knew it wouldn’t end there; she already had made her excuses.

“Okay everyone, back to work, time’s up,” Lin Lin saw the conversation getting out of hand and remembered that the assistant and the CEO would soon arrive, so she reminded them.

“Oh my, you’re really starting to have the aura of a boss’s wife,” someone joked.

Lin Lin gave her a shy glare, then returned to her own seat.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhou Shengting strode in with long steps and headed straight to his office.

Lin Lin felt nervous when she saw him.

She picked up Zhou Shengting’s personal cup and brewed him his morning coffee, which he drank every morning to refresh himself.

Then, cradling the cup in her hands, she carefully knocked on the office door.

“Come in,” Zhou Shengting said, and Lin Lin pushed the door open.

She placed the cup on the desk, “CEO Zhou, please enjoy.”

Zhou Shengting nodded.

Lin Lin stood there, a look of dilemma crossing her face.

“Anything else?” Zhou Shengting asked curiously.

“CEO Zhou, did you see my pearl earring in the car?” Lin Lin pursed her lips and asked.
