Chapter 173: I Did Something Wrong to You

the window, the sky gradually revealed a hint of fish belly white. He knew that after dawn, there would be another tough battle to fight. 。When the sun rose, his eyes were almost blinded and he coul...Her colleagues hadn't returned to the hotel, so she let out a sigh of relief. Now she could go find Zhuo Yu'an without any worries. 。Actually, she wasn't sure if Zhu YUAN had really come. When she reached the door of 1101, she didn't knock and just swiped her card to go in. Zhu YUAN had left a keycard for her. 。The moment the door opened, the lights inside were on. He was really here The balcony was open, and the floor-to-ceiling window screens were gently swaying in the breeze. Zhuo Yu'an stood at the edge of the balcony, gazing into the distance, lost in thought. He seemed so absorbed that he didn't notice her arrival at all. 。She tiptoed up behind him, wanting to give him a fright. 。Just as she was about to get close to him, he suddenly turned around. She wasn't trying to scare him, but she ended up scaring herself instead. She jumped back in surprise, almost tripping over the threshold under the balcony glass door. 。Luckily, Zhuo Yu'an reacted quickly, reaching out to grab her waist and pulling her into his arms, keeping her safe and sound. 。She felt a little awkward, looking up at him and smiling.

"Thank you," 。She was wearing high heels and a knee-length skirt. If she had just tripped and fallen flat on her face, even in front of Zhuo YUAN, the scene would be too beautiful to imagine. She didn't dare to think about it, thankfully, thankfully... 。Zuo Yu'an didn't speak, his eyes were deep and dark, he lowered his head and kissed her lips. She was about to laugh awkwardly when the kiss took her breath away. 。His hands gripped her waist tightly, and as she leaned back, he reached forward. She had no choice but to put her hands around his neck, their closeness becoming undeniable. 。I didn't realize until later that this was a balcony. I wonder how many people in the hotel rooms with windows could see this scene, so I reached out and pushed him open. 。He breathed a little heavily, moved away from her, and instead clasped her hands in his, interlocking their fingers. He stared at her without speaking. 。。Something's wrong!

Shu Tinglan could see that he looked off, as if his mood was bad, his eyes were dark. 。"What's wrong" she asked with concern. 。He shook his head, refusing to speak, but he looked at her earnestly, his eyes filled with love and guilt. 。Shu Tinglan was such a sensitive person. Just by looking at each other, she saw the guilt hidden in his eyes. Her heart turned cold as she asked,

"Did you do something wrong to me"

He still shook his head, the taciturn man unwilling to speak easily. 。"Then what are you guilty of" she said, piercingly, giving him no chance to evade. 。Zuo Yu'an didn't expect her to be so perceptive. His heart skipped a beat. He wasn't unwilling to say, but he was struggling with how to tell her that the person who introduced her to the project was his mother. And his mother wasn't someone easy to get along with, let alone someone who would kindly introduce resources to her. 。Before coming here to see her, he had investigated both Lisan Real Estate and Yuchong Properties, but found nothing amiss. As his mother said, it was simply a matter of introducing some resources, with no ulterior motives. 。But given his understanding of her mother, it was highly improbable that he had pure intentions. 。"Tinglan, or perhaps you should withdraw from this project I can introduce you to other projects." 。Knowing that Tinglan would never accept his unsolicited advice, he couldn't help but hold onto a sliver of hope, wishing only that she stay away from his mother and have nothing to do with her. 。"What's wrong Is there a problem with the project" When it came to work, Shu Tinglan was extremely cautious. He stood up straight from his embrace and looked at him seriously. 。"No " 。Listening, there's something I need to be honest with you about. 。。Zhuo Yu'an saw her face full of indignation and grief, he knocked her smooth forehead with a chuckle. 。Shutinglan covered her forehead and looked at him, hmm, watched how he would spin a tale. 。"The person Lu Yaoyao took you to see was my mother." 。He spoke directly. 。Shū Tínglan froze, still covering her forehead, a pair of beautiful eyes staring in shock at Zhuo Yǔ'an. 。"What do you mean Is that your mother"She suddenly felt a bit nervous, knowing his family background, which was something they had always deliberately avoided talking about. It had just come up unexpectedly like this, leaving her feeling tense and somewhat disoriented. 。"No, why would she hide her identity to come see me" There was a mix of tension, confusion, and anger because of the disrespect. 。She could accept her mother's opposition to them, even if she directly confronted her and made her position clear, even if it led her to leave her son. She thought it was normal. 。But treating her like a fool, first intentionally tailgating, then arranging a "coincidence" with Listening Whale Finance, and finally visiting the law firm to introduce the project to her, it's carefully planned, painstakingly done. What am I worthy of

“Tinglan, no matter what, I won't let my mother hurt you. I've also made it clear to her that she's not allowed to come find you again.” 。He was sincere and impartial towards his own mother. 。But after all, she was his mother and elder, and his upbringing prevented him from saying anything too harsh or accusatory. 。

This was the first time the two of them had truly talked about his family, his parents. 。Before, both of them avoided the topic, knowing it was a sensitive issue that they couldn't touch upon, so neither of them ever brought it up. 。Shu Tinglan certainly understood his stance, it was a difficult position to be in. And hearing him express his bias towards her made her feel a little better. 。"How did she know I existed""Well, maybe it was Lu Yaoyao who told her..." 。"I didn't want her to be upset about Wen Jian again, so I downplayed the situation and blamed Lu Yaoyao instead." 。"Oh, so what are you going to do with me" Her words spilled out, unconsciously using the word "deal with," as if she were placing herself in the dust and acknowledging her own humility and passivity in this relationship. She knew deep down that this day would come; all the happiness and joy they had shared before was fleeting, stolen. 。Even, she guessed, Zhuo Yuyan would inevitably choose her parents, choose the glory of her family. On this point, she had never been confident. 。Zuo Yu'an felt a sharp pang in his heart when he heard her describe their relationship in such terms. It seemed that in this relationship, she had never truly felt safe. 。He thought that by reporting his whereabouts to her every day, putting her first in everything, professing his love for her sooner or later, and transferring the house into her name, he had given her enough security. But in reality, he hadn't. 。

Reaching out, he pulled her into his arms and sighed:

"Fool" 。I told you before, I am me, the Zhu family is the Zhu family, what's most important is that we are together, we don't need to care about the rest. 。Shu Tinglan nodded vaguely in his arms, not sharing his optimism. He was a Zhuo family member; how could he possibly be him The Zhuo family was the Zhuo family "Shu Tinglan!" he suddenly called her name with seriousness and solemnity. 。"Huh" she said, confused. 。Shutinglan, you must have confidence in me, and confidence in our relationship. 。You are my wife, the one I want to spend my whole life with. 。 Let me know if you'd like to translate any more text!bers of the Zhuo family, they were completely out of his consideration. 。Hanging up with Lu Kuo, the office fell silent again. It was late at night now. He got up and went to his old hotel. 。After a...
