'He said he would follow, and so he did.'
'And now he's taking me home.'
In that instant, Yu Lan realized Yu Wenzhou's overtime was almost certainly connected to Shen Zueran.
'So much for a "secret relationship" that no one would find out about.'
'What is he trying to pull now?'
'He's pushing his luck.'
Yu Lan was just about to turn off her phone screen and walk away in the other direction.
DING! The message notification rang out again.
Shen Zueran: [You don't want to make a scene with me in public, do you?]
Shen Zueran: [I have a video of us kissing in the office today.]
Shen Zueran: [According to the Empire's laws, you took advantage of me. And since we're already engaged, our marriage is set in stone. You can't escape it.]
Shen Zueran: [Do you want to break Yu Wenzhou's heart? You won't be able to explain this away.]
Yu Lan's fingers, gripping her phone, turned white from the force.
