Chapter 1340: Chapter 1339: Jealous

Bai Lan didn’t pay any more attention to Lin Lin. She knocked on the door and then gently pushed it open.

Zhou Shengting had been on the phone. Hearing the knock, he turned his head and then saw a sexy silhouette walk in.

Zhou Shengting frowned, thinking it must be one of the employees. As she approached, he focused his gaze and realized–wasn’t this his own wife, Bai Lan?

Zhou Shengting was so stunned he froze with the phone in hand. He didn’t pay any real attention to whatever the person on the other end was saying.

Watching Bai Lan step closer, he lost all interest in continuing the conversation, so he hurriedly hung up the call.

Bai Lan came up to him with a hint of shyness on her face and asked, “Are you busy? Did I disturb you?”

“Not at all,” Zhou Shengting said, reaching out his hand to Bai Lan.

Bai Lan was somewhat puzzled but extended her hand nonetheless.

Zhou Shengting grabbed her hand and then pulled her into his embrace.

“Ah…” Bai Lan hadn’t expected him to do that and was startled.

“Don’t worry, you won’t fall,” Zhou Shengting reassured her, holding her slender waist tightly. He scanned her from head to toe with a deep, inscrutable gaze, “Dressed so sexy and pretty today, who did you want to impress?”

Zhou Shengting had truly been amazed by his wife. She was always beautiful–he knew that–but perhaps because of her profession, her dressing style was usually gentle, elegant, and dignified. He rarely saw her dressed sexily.

So, when he did see it, he was quite taken aback.

“I wasn’t dressing for anyone in particular, just wanted to change my mood,” Bai Lan knew from Zhou Shengting’s gaze that her plan had worked.

Men can occasionally grow tired of the same aesthetic, so a bit of visual stimulation can be necessary.

Bai Lan glanced downward, composed, then stood up from his lap, “You get on with your work. I’ll wait for you on the sofa.”

Bai Lan certainly didn’t want to be labeled a siren.

Watching her retreating figure, Zhou Shengting sighed internally. How could he focus on work when she was parading around in front of him like that?

“It’s fine, I’ve finished with the urgent work. Let’s go have lunch,” Zhou Shengting got up, picked up his suit jacket, and walked towards Bai Lan.

Bai Lan looked surprised, “Really? I don’t want to interfere with your work.”

“Yes, it’s not busy anymore,” he said, and then draped his suit jacket over Bai Lan.

“I’m not cold,” Bai Lan protested.

“In the future, you can’t dress like this to go out. If you want to wear it, you can only wear it at home for me to see,” Zhou Shengting said with a bit of sarcasm.

Bai Lan rolled her eyes at him. It was just a dress, what was the big deal?

“There’s nothing wrong with this dress, is there?” Bai Lan looked down at herself. Everything that shouldn’t be shown was properly covered.

“It’s too sexy, I don’t feel at ease,” Zhou Shengting said earnestly.

Bai Lan’s face flushed instantly. She hadn’t expected Zhou Shengting to be so frank about it.

“Nonsense, others wear much sexier than me,” Bai Lan couldn’t help but give him a glare. He never used to care about what she wore, did he?

“That’s someone else’s wife. I don’t care about them, but you are different,” Zhou Shengting’s tone was very domineering.

Bai Lan knew she couldn’t argue with him, so she compromised, “Fine, I’ll wear a jacket over it in the future.”

Zhou Shengting was then satisfied.

Bai Lan felt somewhat speechless. Was such a trivial matter really worth such a serious conversation?

The two of them were quite silly indeed.

“Shall we go? Are you hungry?” After speaking, Zhou Shengting walked out of the office with his arm around Bai Lan’s slender waist.
