Chapter 1337: Chapter 1336: Is it a misunderstanding? Chapter 1337: Chapter 1336: Is it a misunderstanding? Bai Lan’s peaceful heart began to grow anxious again.

After getting up, she freshened up and then started preparing for her classes. She was about to start work, so she needed to be well-prepared.

During this time, Zhou Shengting called her twice.

Bai Lan was getting a bit irritated, so she furrowed her brows and asked, “What’s going on? Aren’t you busy?”

“I am, but I’m missing you,” Zhou Shengting said sweetly.

The more he acted this way, the more suspicious Bai Lan became of his abnormal behavior.

“I’m busy too. If there’s nothing important, I’m hanging up.” Bai Lan felt gloomy and didn’t want to continue the conversation.

“When you’re done, let’s have lunch together. I know a place where you love the sour spare ribs,” Zhou Shengting suggested eagerly.

“I don’t want to eat. Go with someone else,” Bai Lan snapped.

What she really wanted to say was, stop pretending to be nice; if you’ve truly fallen for someone else, just be honest with me. I won’t make it a big deal.

What she hated the most was deception.

“Silly dear, who else would I go with to eat? I want to go with you,” Zhou Shengting said with a laugh.

“You could go with the woman wearing pearl earrings,” Bai Lan blurted out in frustration.

Zhou Shengting was taken aback, suddenly remembering his secretary Lin’s pearl earrings. Could it be…

It seemed like Bai Lan had started acting strangely ever since he returned from the social event with Secretary Lin.

“Dear, did you misunderstand something?” Zhou Shengting asked with a frown.

“Whether I misunderstood, you know very well,” Bai Lan said coldly.

“It seems you saw those earrings and misunderstood. Those are Secretary Lin’s earrings. That day, Assistant Yang’s mother had a birthday, so he didn’t accompany me. I went with Secretary Lin, and the next day she mentioned losing one of her earrings. Since it happened during work hours, I asked Assistant Yang to buy her a new pair,” Zhou Shengting explained truthfully.

Bai Lan remained silent, and Zhou Shengting got a bit anxious. “It’s true; you can verify it yourself.”

“Fool, don’t you know me by now? I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you,” Zhou Shengting felt guilty. He hadn’t expected that after being together so long, his wife would still feel so insecure.

“Ah, constantly guessing is really tiring,” Bai Lan sighed.

“Sorry, I haven’t been good enough. I’ll be more careful in the future,” Zhou Shengting apologized.

In reality, hearing him say this made Bai Lan feel she might have overreacted. Perhaps she was just bored, which led her to overthink.

“Perhaps I’m just overthinking,” Bai Lan’s voice floated softly from the other end of the phone.

“Right, don’t overthink. If you aren’t coming out, then I’ll come back and have lunch with you,” Zhou Shengting replied.

“No, I’ll go out. Staying home all day isn’t good for me,” Bai Lan suddenly felt interested in meeting this Secretary Lin.

“That’s good too. Have the driver bring you over, and I’ll take you out for something delicious,” Zhou Shengting glanced at the time. It was not yet 11 o’clock, still early.

“Mhm,” Bai Lan nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Lan began to change her clothes. Previously she dressed casually, but this time, she wanted to change things up, especially since she had bought some nice dresses the day before.

So, she picked the prettiest one.

It was a silk maxi dress, sleeveless, extending from the front up to the neck where it tied in a knot, revealing a fair expanse of her back.
