Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 76

At this point, there was no room for change. Shu Tian didn't know what Ye Junting was thinking. He should have understood what she meant because he was well-experienced in his work. Why did he make it clear and make her embarrassed?

There was a silence in the car. Shu Tian calmed down and looked down at the back of his hand. "Lawyer Ye, can you let me go first?"

Ye Junting was stunned for a moment. Even though he was reluctant, he restrained himself and let go of her gentlemanly. In fact, when he heard Shu Tian said this, he understood what she meant, but he still had fantasy about her loving him.

"Lawyer Ye, I don't know what you think of me, but I'm sure that I regard you as an experienced senior and a role model worthy of learning. I am in awe of you and respect you, but other than that, I don't have any other thoughts. If there's any misunderstanding, I'm sorry."

Shu Tian's words were direct but appropriate. She had no intention of sabotaging their relationship. She just did not want him to have affectionate feelings for her.

Ye Junting clenched his hands. He became a little impatient. "Shu Tian, I know you're getting a divorce. I don't mind it both now and in the future. I appreciate your attitude towards work and your ability, and I like your personality. I know you have no feelings for me now, but can you... Can you give me a chance to get close to you?"

In fact, from the beginning to the present, Shu Tian made him feel there was some distance between them. It did not mean that she put on airs. This sense of distance was automatic, which was a girl's reserve and pride. She was neither servile nor arrogant. She could keep her emotions in check. She looked weak but actually she was strong.

The more they got along with each other, the more Ye Junting was attracted by the contrast between her inside and outside. Since when did he start to like her?

He could no longer remember. It was only when he saw her fall that he understood the true feelings for her.

Once he confirmed this feeling, it was difficult for him to continue to suppress it.

Shu Tian didn't expect Ye Junting to be so persistent. She was very nervous, but she didn't dare to show it. "Lawyer Ye, I don't have any idea of contacting with the opposite sex right now. I hope as your colleague, I can still get along well with you."

Ye Junting was a little surprised. He had thought that Shu Tian would not accept him easily. And at worst, she would think about it, but he did not expect her to refuse so firmly.

He was confident in himself. After all, Shu Tian had a marriage and was not as senior as him in the company. She had no reason to refuse unless...

The man's eyes flashed. "Do you have a crush on someone?"

Shu Tian's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of Li Han, she answered vaguely, "Yes."

The expectation in Ye Junting's eyes was replaced by disappointment. He finally looked away and did not speak for a long time. After a while, he unlocked the car's control lock and said in a tragic voice, "You can go."

Shu Tian opened the door and the air poured in. Finally, it was not as stuffy as before in the car. She still could not deal with such a situation. She could only escape fastly.

...

Ye Junting's confession became a knot in Shu Tian's heart. After dinner, she held her laptop in her arms and was in a daze on the sofa in the living room. She didn't even notice Li Han came downstairs.

The man took a glass of water, leaned against the wall, and looked at the little woman who was thinking about something not far away. "What are you thinking?"

As he finished speaking, Shu Tian did not react at all and did not even raise her head.

Li Han raised his eyebrows slightly, drank the warm water from the cup. And then he walked to her and sat down.

The sofa sank and even her body shook. Only then did Shu Tian realize that he had come down.

"Are you done?"

Without a word, Li Han picked her up and put her on his lap. One of his hands was around her waist and the other stroked the woman's slender thigh. "What are you thinking, huh?"

"Nothing. Something related to work." She lowered her eyes and did not even look at him. Her tone was a little weak.

Li Han told at a glance that she was lying. He didn't think there was anything fishy about it, but now he became curious because of her performance.
