The moment Shen Zueran saw the photo, it was as if he'd been burned. He quickly averted his eyes, his gaze darting away from Yu Lan's picture.
She was simply too stunning. Even though Shen Zueran prided himself on having no feelings for her whatsoever, his body's reaction was hard to suppress.
After handing over Yu Lan's photo, Zhao Song had been trying to read Shen Zueran's expression, ready to plead Yu Lan's case at a moment's notice.
The lab had finally managed to get a new female to join; they couldn't let her be scared off by a single word from Shen Zueran.
But to his surprise, Shen Zueran's reaction was completely beyond his imagination.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't this habitually cool and distant Dean of the Science Research Institute be staring at him with a frosty expression? He might even have reprimanded him for being so imprudent.
But Shen Zueran said nothing, which in turn made Zhao Song too scared to speak.
