This sounded like a joke, but in fact, it was the truth.

There were many options for cooperation, but he was still confident in securing this contract. After all, he relied on his ability, not his appearance.

Li Zaijun heard this and lightly pursed her lips. She wasn’t stupid.

Her feelings were somewhat mixed. It turned out that was his business partner. Although the woman looked at him in a special way, it was still business. If this affected a three-billion-dollar deal...

Li Zaijun couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed.

If she were poor, she wouldn’t even be qualified to be jealous.

But this only made her feel even more inadequate.

She didn’t speak further, just remained silently sullen.

Shen Lin noticed her mood change but didn’t say anything, assuming she was just acting like a little girl. Seeing him with another woman made her unhappy.

But his actions were nothing if not transparent, doing his best to give her some sense of security.

He held her small hand, all the way back, it was like stroking a little wild cat, caressing her hand.

After reaching the apartment, just as Li Zaijun was about to turn on the light, he stopped her with a raised hand.

His large hand covered hers.

"Hey, what are you doing... ah...!"

Suddenly, everything spun, and she was picked up horizontally.

In the pitch-black darkness, his actions seemed to hold an undeniable suggestion.

"Wait, Shen Lin, don’t..."

"Don’t what, hmm? My contract might get ruined because of you, so shouldn’t you compensate me?"

As he spoke, he laid her down on the sofa, and as he leaned over her, she sank into it.

Her lips were sealed by his, and unwilling to give in, she bit down hard on his lip.

Shen Lin grunted, pulling back slightly, his thumb against his bitten lip as he looked at her, frowning slightly.

Not knowing what this little wild cat intended to do.

Li Zaijun, breathing slightly heavily, pressed her small hand against his chest and said, "I have something to tell you."

Seeing her serious little look, Shen Lin asked, "What is it?"

All day she seemed troubled.

"I want to work."

As these words came out, he snorted softly and then, holding her small chin, teased, "No way, just because that woman said a few words, you—"

She broke free from his hand, interrupting him, "It has nothing to do with her, I want to go myself. I’m not a pampered canary; I need my own life."

Hearing this, Shen Lin’s smile gradually disappeared.

He got up and sat beside her, his expression unreadable.

Li Zaijun also tidied her clothes and sat up, "Shen Lin, I hope you won’t stop me from doing what I want..."

Shen Lin slightly rubbed his forehead, finally taking a deep breath and said:

"What job do you want to do? Do you know what you’ll face as a newcomer? Have you forgotten when your manager took you to keep someone company? Or do you still want to face x harassment in the workplace?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zaijun’s face instantly turned sour, "That was just an isolated incident, not all girls go through this. The woman in your car today didn’t—"

"Her father is a billionaire tycoon, the heiress of the company, everyone paves the way for her. And you?"

He bluntly retorted.
