Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 96 A Two-Way Run, Unrequited Love Comes True

As Zhou Zan left the studio, Xiao Liu and her colleague Lili exchanged a glance.

Xiao Liu raised an eyebrow as she watched Zhou Zan's departing figure, as if to say, "If it succeeds, then I'll get credit for it."

Only after Zhou Zan was out of sight did Lily, who had been gossiping on the side, slowly approach Xiao Liu.

"Sister Na, are you serious? Does President Zhou really have someone he likes?" Lily's face was full of gossip, and she had a very inquisitive look on her face.

"Of course, we discussed it for quite a while when I brought the coffee." Liu Na smiled smugly, arms crossed.

Although they are young, they have been with Zhou Zan since he first established his studio.

They also hope to see Zhou Zan happy, and maybe then they won't assign her so much work.

Just thinking about it makes me very happy.

Zhou Zan first went to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of ginger lilies that she liked, and also went to the restaurant next door to pack a lunch for Ling Shu.

On her way there, Zhou Zan had already informed Ling Shu that she was coming over, so she wasn't worried about the place being deserted.

Park the car in the underground garage and take the elevator directly to the floor where the president's office is located.

One reason is that by confessing secretly, even if I'm not rejected, I'm not afraid of people gossiping behind my back.

Secondly, she is a designer with some online fame, and she was afraid of losing face online.

When Zhou Zan pushed open the office door, Ling Shu was still engrossed in his work. He only slowly looked up when he heard the sound.

Seeing Zhou Zan holding a bouquet of flowers, Ling Shu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

It seems Zhou Zan took Han Yi's words to heart.

"Why are you here at this hour? Have you had lunch yet?" Ling Shu got up from his office chair, walked over to Zhou Zan, and took the lunch from her hand.

"I've already eaten," Zhou Zan lied in an extremely calm tone.

Seeing Zhou Zan clutching the flowers tightly in her hands, Ling Shu couldn't help but ask, "Is today some important day? Why did you buy flowers? Are you planning to give them to me?"

Zhou Zan felt nervous after being asked three questions in a row. She had completely forgotten the opening remarks she had discussed with Xiao Liu in the office earlier because of her nervousness.

"If you like them, I'll give them to you." After saying that, she prepared to hand the flowers in her hand to Ling Shu.

Before Ling Shu could react, he was suddenly surrounded by flowers, their fresh, elegant, and invigorating fragrance wafting towards him.

"Thank you so much. This will decorate my plain office." She said, placing the flowers on the coffee table and preparing to go out to find a vase to put them in.

Seeing that Ling Shu was about to leave, Zhou Zan asked, "Where are you going?"

"Find a vase, you've never given me flowers before, so of course I'll take good care of it this time," Ling Shu said with a smile, his joy barely concealed.

He was waiting, waiting to hear Zhou Zan's confession.

The person confessing their feelings doesn't necessarily have to be Zhou Zan; anyone would do. But Zhou Zan came in a hurry, and the assistant hadn't prepared the things he had instructed her to do.

Zhou Zan silently rolled her eyes at him. What did he mean by saying she rarely sent flowers? Did he lack that little bit of money?
Ling Shu himself didn't have a flower he liked! And he even brought her up.

"Don't you dislike flowers?"

The implication is that it's you who doesn't like flowers, not that I don't want to send them.

Ling Shu knew Zhou Zan very well, so he naturally understood her implication.

"By the way, there's a charity gala tonight, why don't you come with me?" Ling Shu sincerely invited, and Zhou Zan naturally agreed.

Half an hour later, the assistant sent Ling Shu a message, saying that the task Ling Shu had arranged had been completed.

After reading the message, Ling Shu put down his chopsticks and said in a gentle, consultative tone, "Have you finished eating? Come with me to the rooftop to digest your food?"

Zhou Zan was looking down at her phone, but actually she was looking up online guides on how to confess her feelings.

Upon hearing Ling Shu speak, Zhou Zan was taken aback for a moment, quickly put away her phone, and nodded.

The rooftop is nice too; the weather's good today, what if she just blurts it out? Ling Shu walked ahead, and Zhou Zan followed behind him with her head down, heading towards the rooftop via the emergency exit.

Ling Shu was originally walking in front, but halfway there he suddenly said, "I think I forgot to bring the key to the rooftop. You go up first, I'll get the key and then I'll come over."

A hint of suspicion flashed in Zhou Zan's eyes. Logically speaking, Ling Shu wouldn't be so careless.

But he still listened to Ling Shu's words.

Watching Zhou Zan's retreating figure, Ling Shu's eyes darkened, and his hand, which was inside his suit pocket, gripped a key tightly.

He didn't intend to deceive Zhou Zan; he simply wanted her to personally open the door to the rooftop, which might also be the door to their happiness.

About two minutes later, Ling Shu saw that it was almost time before continuing upstairs.

Zhou Zan's heart pounded. Leaning against the wall, she stood alone in the corridor, looking pitiful.

Ling Shu strode up the steps, taking the keys out of his pocket as he did so.

When Zhou Zan saw Ling Shu arrive, he immediately stood up straight.

I'm about to confess my feelings, so I need to make a good impression.

But she seemed to have forgotten that she and Ling Shu had not only known each other for many years and were very close, but they had even kissed.

Ling Shu, with a smile on his lips, handed the key to Zhou Zan.

Looking at the key handed to him and then at the rusty lock, Zhou Zan hesitated for a moment before saying, "You can open it."

Ling Shu made no move, seemingly determined to have Zhou Zan open the lock himself.

Seeing Ling Shu's serious expression, Zhou Zan gently bit her red lips.

The lock was covered in rust. Not only would it be difficult to wash off her white dress, but was she really going to confess her love while wearing such a dirty dress?
While I wouldn't say that confessing your feelings is the most important moment in life, Xiao Liu also said that the other person needs to be valued.

Left with no other option, Zhou Zan took the key from Ling Shu's hand and slowly unlocked the lock.

The rusty iron gate creaked as it was pushed open.

The gate was fully opened, revealing a floor covered in pink roses and pink marguerites, an archway decorated with both types of flowers, and a giant pink paper airplane.

The paper airplane is the knot between Ling Shu and Zhou Zan, and the pink paper airplane has bound them tightly together for many years.

Zhou Zan looked at everything arranged on the rooftop with surprise and delight.

She glanced back at Ling Shu, her casual look filled with disbelief and surprise.

But she calmed herself down, pretended not to understand, and asked in a sweet voice, "Ling Shu, what does this mean?"

Seeing Zhou Zan's affected manner, Ling Shu showed no impatience whatsoever; on the contrary, his eyes were full of love.

"That's exactly what you mean." The tone was teasing.

Zhou Zan was both surprised and delighted.

It seems she's not the only one in love with him.

"What I'm thinking is that you want to confess your feelings to me?" Zhou Zan asked, her cheeks flushed.

Ling Shu looked down at Zhou Zan and found her blushing face adorable.

"If you like it, just take it as my confession to you, a heartfelt confession." Ling Shu reached out and pinched Zhou Zan's cheek, his tone coaxing.

It was as if he was pleading, begging Zhou Zan to agree to his confession.

"Then let's just take it as a confession." Zhou Zan suppressed her secret joy and turned her head away to chuckle.

Seeing Zhou Zan's little gestures, Ling Shu reached out and put his arm around Zhou Zan's waist, then lowered his head and kissed her.

He wasn't afraid of Zhou Zan getting angry; she had kissed him forcefully last time, so there was nothing wrong with him kissing her back.
