Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 48

Words about Shu Tian obtrusively broke into the boss' office had been spread widely by her colleagues

on the same team when she returned to the office.

Things occurred unexpectedly, which got her into a flap. She went straight upstairs to look for Li Han

without thinking too much. But once again, her action had been used to add more fun to the gossip.

However, they only had a few things to gossip about. In the past, everyone said that she had a

sponsor, a sugar daddy, things like that. However, no one even dared to guess who this man might be.

Now that she had broken into the boss' office and returned in a whole skin, it was reasonable for

people to suppose that Li Han was the one playing the role behind her.

Shu Tian received everyone's inquisitive and cautious eyes. Even Zhang Rui'er was cautious like she

was treading on eggshells.

She restrained the soreness in her throat, tried to act normally. The rumor seemed to be the only thing

that flew faster than light.

She could not control other people's mouths and keep them shut. So she could only do her best to

ignore or not take these rumors seriously.

Sitting on the office chair, Shu Tian took a sip of water from the thermos. The liquid warmed her

stomach up. Thinking of Li Han's cold eyes just now, she felt a chill out of nowhere.

Liu Lifang took the video, walked out of the office with a big smile. She didn't think Liu was a kind

person at all. Liu gave the video to her only because of the unborn child.

Her only concern was that Li Han might misunderstand her. She had clarified, corrected, and tried to

clear things up one by one. However, he chose to drive her out with only a few words.

Shu Tian sighed with discouragement, half-lying on her desk listlessly. She took out her phone and sent

a message to Fu Qingtong.

[Sweety Britney (Shu Tian): are you there?]

[Thigh (Fu Qingtong): yes.]

[Sweety Britney: It seemed that I pissed Li Han off. He really got angry.]

[Thigh: ... You actually pissed him off! Tell me about it. (Gossipy face)]

Shu Tian's fingers stopped moving for a second because her brain was processing what had happened

just now. Then she told Fu Qingtong about it in brief.

Less than half a minute after she sent the message, Fu sent her back with a string of surprised faces.

[Sweety Britney: what do you mean?]

[Thigh: I respect you, for you really have balls. You are the first one who determines to kick down your

ladder.]

Shu Tian frowned when she read this message. Her fingertips were dancing on the screen: [why would

I become a ladder kicker? I have explained to him that it was all for the child. It was just... useless.]

[Thigh: I bet it was! It was intolerable for anyone. From where I stand, Li Han had been polite that he

didn't hang you up and beat the shit out of you. Think about it. To help you, Li Han, the boss of a big

law firm, was concerned about your stuff and actually taking the responsibility for you. In the end, you

still stand on the side of your ex-husband. Is it tolerable?]

Shu Tian clicked on the dialog box, typed some words then quickly deleted them. Her fingers paused.

Before she could figure out what to reply, she received Fu Qingtong's message again.

[Thigh: you're still too soft-hearted. You might have considered too much for the child, while Li Han

might not think so. After all, you're entangled in Tang Zechen's problem. If you really worry that your

Boss Li would be angry, go and coax him.]

Coax?

Shu Tian imagined how it felt to use this word on Li Han, and she got goosebumps. She was probably

frozen to death before she could coax him.

Not everyone could bear that man's horrible aura.

She chatted with Fu Qingtong for some time. Then someone in the office called her. Shu Tian didn't

dare to neglect. She put down her phone and went to work. It was not until after work that she had time

to pick up her phone again.

Looking at the time, she thought of Fu Qingtong's words again. She thought that Li Han had not left yet.

She tidied up the things on the desk first, took her bag, and tried to escape.

"Shu Tian!"

When she reached the door of the office, someone suddenly called her.

Shu Tian was startled. She turned around. It was Zhang Rui'er. She breathed a sigh of relief. "What?"

Zhang Rui'er pointed at the door of Liu Wei's office. She was a little surprised. "Are you leaving so

early?"

Shu Tian was afraid of being found out. "...Yes, I kinda have things to do today."

"Okay, then you are free to get off work now. I'll let you know if we need you here!"

Looking at Zhang Rui'er's careless look, she remembered the look in her eyes when she came back

from the boss' office today. She took two steps towards her. "Rui, today..."

"Oh, it's okay. I understand. You are free to leave."

Shu Tian was skeptical. "Do you really understand?"

Zhang Rui'er smiled brightly. "Well, I believe you're not that kind of person."

With that, Shu Tian's heart, which had been desolate for a long time, was filled with a trace of warmth.

She produced a smile from the bottom of her heart. "Thank you."

Colleagues, rumors, as long as one person trusted you and shared the same camp with you, it was

enough.

...

Shu Tian took the elevator to the underground parking lot. She had been here in Li Han's car for a few

times. The car he most frequently drove was that Bentayga.

But even if she had searched for that car in the parking lot for a long time, she couldn't find that familiar

car.

Shu Tian took out her phone and found Zhang Bikun's number. She called him, and he answered

quickly. She couldn't wait to ask, "Secretary Zhang, do you know which car Li Han has driven to work

today?"

Zhang Bikun was very polite. "It was the same Bentayga as before."

Shu Tian took a few glances at the parking lot again. "I'm in the underground parking lot now. Why

didn't I see it?"

"Miss Shu, are you looking for Boss Li?" Zhang Bikun paused. "Boss Li has already left."

"He's off work now?" It's only after five o'clock. He never left so early.

"Yes, Boss Li has an appointment tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Shu Tian was a little discouraged. She didn't expect that she left early on

purpose, but now she came here for nothing. Maybe he had known she would find him. Did he avoid

her on purpose?

Shu Tian looked slightly put out, walked out of the company to a nearby subway station. In the evening

rush hour, people crowded in the subway like sardines in the can. She followed the flow of people into

the subway. There was almost no handrail for her to hold.

She transferred the subway line once. When Shu Tian arrived in Imperial Garden, it was almost half- Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

past seven.

She took off her shoes, slid into the sofa, and took out her phone from her coat, feeling exhausted. She

saw that she only missed a call from Ye Lihua.

She called back and reminded Ye Lihua not to meet with the Tang family recently, waiting for her to

deal with it. Ye Lihua just asked her to be careful and didn't ask much else.

After hanging up the phone, Shu Tian couldn't help but open the address book and find Li Han's

number. It was easy to remember. To buy this number probably would cost the money of a car.

She looked at the clock on the living room wall and hesitated for a moment before dialing it.

"Dudu" -

A notification tone sounded. After a long time, no one answered. Shu Tian unconsciously tightened her

fingers, feeling nervous. Just as she thought no one would answer, the busy signal stopped. Then there

was some noisy music.

A flicker of joy flashed in Shu Tian's eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a soft, coquettish

female voice, "Hey, who are you looking for?"
