Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.

Wen Jinian looked at her and shook his head. "It's nothing."

Wen Jinian hadn't seen clearly at night, but now he noticed that Tan Lin's clothes had been torn apart at some point.

He hurriedly took off his clothes and draped them over her shoulders. Seeing the usually proud and confident person in such a disheveled and vulnerable state, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

He looked at the man being led inside and regretted not being gentler earlier.

After Tan Lin went inside, she realized that the man who had bullied her was the same person from her workplace who had been harassing her these past few days.

Although she had just arrived in Beijing, it was normal for her to have suitors because of her good looks and temperament.

But because she rejected that man, he became petty and started scouting her every night after get off work on her way home. Today, he finally found an opportunity to make a move on her.

If Wen Jinian hadn't happened to come to see her today, who knows what would have happened?

Tan Lin looked at Wen Jinian and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Wen Jinian originally just wanted to visit Tan Lin's place and didn't intend to disturb her. He never expected this to happen.

Now that she had discovered him, he didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly made up an excuse, "I just finished work and happened to be passing by."

Tan Lin glanced at him, knowing in her heart that he was lying, but she didn't say anything, nor did she expose him to his face.

She knew Wen Jinian well; this man was terrible at lying. Every time he lied, he wouldn't dare look her in the eye, and his ears would turn slightly red.

She looked down at her clothes. Although Wen Jinian said he had no feelings for her, he couldn't help but give her his clothes when he saw her like this.

The police took statements from Tan Lin and Wen Jinian and then sent them home.

As for the person who bullied Tan Lin, he was arrested on charges of hooliganism.

On the way back, Tan Lin walked ahead, and Wen Jinian slowly followed behind her.

She took a step, and he followed.

She stopped, and he stopped too.

Tan Lin turned to Wen Jinian and asked, "How long are you going to follow me? I'm fine now, you can go."

"I'm worried about you going back alone, so I'll take you back." This time, Wen Jinian was more proactive.

Seeing this, Tan Lin didn't say anything more, turned around and continued walking forward.

When they arrived at her place, she took off her clothes and handed them to Wen Jinian, saying, "I've arrived. You can go back now."

Wen Jinian silently took the clothes, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

He watched Tan Lin turn around and go home, and stood there without moving.

When Tan Lin closed the door, she saw that Wen Jinian was still standing there and had not gone back.

After she finished packing her things, she looked out the window and saw that the place was no longer occupied.

Wen Jinian knew that Tan Lin could see where he had been standing, so he found a corner and squatted down.

He was still worried about Tan Lin living alone in such an unsafe place. To prevent a repeat of what happened before, he squatted down and silently watched over her.

Because of what had just happened, Tan Lin still didn't dare to close her eyes to sleep that night.

Every time she closes her eyes, all she can think about is what just happened.

She didn't even dare to think about how serious the consequences would have been if she had slept any deeper.

She is still a little scared. Even though she is wrapped up thickly and tightly, she can still feel a chill on her body.

Tan Lin barely slept all night.

When she got up early in the morning, she opened the window and saw a figure slowly getting up not far away, and then moving his legs, which had gone numb from squatting.

She could only see the man's face clearly when he turned around.

Wen Jinian?

Didn't he leave a long time ago? How come he's here?

How long has he been here? Did he stay with her all night?

Tan Lin had just opened the door to call Wen Jinian back when she saw that he had already left.

She stood at the door watching Wen Jinian's departing figure, a smile involuntarily creeping onto her face.

Wenrou heard about Tan Lin's accident the next day, so she rushed over to see her.

"Sister Tan Lin, are you alright? How could this happen?"

Tan Lin shook her head and gestured for Wenrou to sit down. "I'm fine, don't worry."

I heard that my second brother happened to be passing by last night and saved Tan Lin. Of course, Wenrou didn't believe it was such a coincidence.

She knew her second brother's personality; he must have been worried about Sister Tan Lin, which was why he wanted to go and see her, only to find out that she had an accident.

Although her second brother didn't say much after they got back, Wenrou knew that he was still worried about Tan Lin.

"You shouldn't stay here anymore. Why don't you come stay at my place for a few days?" Wenrou said, a little worried that Tan Lin was still staying there.

Tan Lin shook her head. "No need, I'll just stay at the guesthouse for the next few days."

He didn't want to be a third wheel at Wenrou's house; seeing others so happy would only make her feel more heartbroken.

"Why haven't you been allocated a house in your unit's staff housing complex yet?" she asked gently with concern.

When asked about this, Tan Lin could only shake her head helplessly. "I just arrived in Beijing, and there were already many people vying for the apartments in the family compound. It's normal that I didn't get a chance."

Although Tan Lin was already a manager in an international trade company in Shaanxi Province, she still had to start from scratch when she came to Beijing.

The Beijing International Trade Headquarters is directly managed by the state, so it enjoys relatively large privileges.

Tan Lin has just been transferred to COFCO's headquarters, where the situation is quite complicated. She is currently just a nobody and has not yet made any contributions to the company.

Wenrou knew Tan Lin's current situation, and it would be easy for her to help her.

It just so happens that the business Peng Shao introduced to her last time also involves people from the Beijing Foreign Trade Headquarters. Tomorrow, she will go to their unit's leaders to have a good talk about the business, and also ask Tan Lin to get an apartment in the family compound as soon as possible.

After returning home, Wenrou went to find Wen Jinian.

"Second Brother, Sister Tan Lin really needs your help right now. Why don't you go to the foreign trade headquarters?" Wenrou told Wen Jinian about Tan Lin's current situation.

Upon hearing about this, Wen Jinian agreed without hesitation.

"I'll go tomorrow."

He'd do anything to get Tan Lin a house.

He knew it was difficult to meet with the leaders of the foreign trade headquarters, but even so, he had to go.

With Wen Jinian stepping in, Wenrou no longer needed to be taken care of.

Tan Lin hadn't seen Wen Jinian for several days since that incident.

Just as she was getting a little distracted, her workplace suddenly issued a new housing allocation notice.

Tan Lin was not originally on the list of those assigned rooms, but this time, she actually saw her name on the list.

"Tan Lin? Why is her name on the room allocation list? She's new here, why was she assigned a room?"

"How did they divide it like this? I arrived before her, why isn't my name on the list? I'm not having it!"

"I'm going to talk to my supervisor and explain this to them. It's not fair."

Because of this incident, Tan Lin suddenly became the target of everyone's anger, and those who did not get a room looked at her with resentment and hostility.

Tan Lin was also completely bewildered. She herself didn't know why her name was added to the room allocation list.

Could it be that the leader made a mistake?

Just as those who were dissatisfied were about to go to the leader, they saw two people walk out of the leader's office.

One was their Minister of Food and Agriculture, and the other was a young man.

The minister had heard their commotion outside and looked at them with a serious expression.

"I am aware of your questions just now. The reason for allocating a room to Comrade Tan Lin was also a decision made by headquarters. She helped us close a big deal, so this room allocation is a reward for her. If any of you have any objections, go to the leaders at headquarters."

Upon hearing the minister's voice, those who had been arguing earlier fell silent.

Tan Lin walked over at this moment, and when she saw the man standing next to the minister, she froze on the spot.

"Wen Jinian?"

She never expected Wen Jinian to be here, and even to be standing with her superior.

Wen Jinian has been looking for an opportunity to meet the head of his unit for the past few days, and he has not given up even when he was treated coldly.

After several more days of hard work, his perseverance was finally recognized.

Given the undeniable strength of the Gentle Transport Team, the two sides quickly reached a cooperation agreement.

"You two chat. Tan, if you ever need anything, just come to me." The minister said and left, leaving Tan Lin and Wen Jinian staring at each other.

However, he dared not underestimate Wen Jinian. After all, someone who could be valued by the top leader was someone he would naturally treat well.

When the other person said that they were friends with Tan Lin and that she had introduced them, they were surprised.

He even mentioned what Tan Lin had encountered a few nights ago, and then he added Tan Lin to the room allocation list.

Wen Jinian looked at Tan Lin but didn't say anything.

He didn't actually want Tan Lin to know what he had done; as long as she could get a house, that would be a good thing.

But Tan Lin wasn't going to let him off the hook this time. She stared at Wen Jinian for a while, then asked with a serious expression, "Why did you help me?"

Wen Jinian felt a little guilty under her gaze, so he lowered his head and made up an excuse, "You helped me when we were in Su, and I don't want to owe anyone anything."

"Others? In your eyes, I'm just someone dispensable, right? Don't tell me you spent the whole night squatting outside my house just to repay a favor?"

Tan Lin was so angry that she directly exposed him in front of Wen Jinian.

Upon hearing her words, Wen Jinian froze on the spot.

How did she know?

"Wen Jinian, is it so hard to admit that you have feelings for me?" Tan Lin really couldn't understand the man in front of her.

"I..." Wen Jinian was at a loss for words under her gaze.

His feelings were complicated at the moment. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings for Tan Lin at all.

Since this was a workplace, Tan Lin didn't press further when Wen Jinian remained silent.

After getting off work, Tan Lin originally thought Wen Jinian had left, so she prepared to go back alone to pack her things and move directly to the family compound.

She had just arrived at her doorstep when she saw Wen Jinian.

She walked over and asked, "What are you doing standing here?"

Wen Jinian looked concerned and said, "I'll help you move your things."

Tan Lin is, after all, a woman, and this place is quite a distance from the family compound. He was worried that she wouldn't be able to manage on her own, so he simply waited for her here.

Tan Lin didn't say anything, but walked over and opened the door.

Then he turned to Wen Jinian and said, "What are you all standing there for? Weren't you supposed to help me move my things?"

Wen Jinian responded and then went inside to help Tan Lin tidy up.

Tan Lin had no intention of going over; she just stood at the door and watched Wen Jinian help her tidy up.

She wanted to see how long this man would keep up his stubbornness.

He clearly had feelings for her, but he still pretended to be indifferent.

Tan Lin had no idea what Wen Jinian was thinking before, but now she did.

Since he still has feelings for her, she won't let go.

Her minister just told her that Wen Jinian went to see the top leader specifically to ask about the housing allocation for her by the company, and even waited outside the leader's house for several days, almost being arrested as a thief.

Tan Lin was naturally moved upon learning of this.

If it were before, when Wen Jinian offered to help her pack, she would definitely have chased him away.

But for now, I'll just let him be.

Wen Jinian was quick, but when he opened the wardrobe after he had almost finished tidying up, he was stumped.

Everything else is fine, it's just the wardrobe...

He looked at Tan Lin, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you pack your own clothes? I'm a grown man, it's not appropriate for me to help you."

There were several pieces of clothing that Tan Lin wore close to her skin hanging in the wardrobe, which Wen Jinian spotted at a glance.

He's a man, and when he sees these clothes, he subconsciously imagines how she would look in them, which makes him even more embarrassed.

Tan Lin said "Oh," and seeing Wen Jinian's slightly flushed face, she walked over.

The space next to the wardrobe was too small. She had just walked over when she tripped and fell headfirst into Wen Jinian's arms.

She swore that she absolutely did not do it on purpose.

But her body wouldn't obey her commands, and she instinctively reached out and grabbed Wen Jinian's pants.

Wen Jinian originally wanted to reach out to help her, but then he heard a "rip" sound. Tan Lin tore a hole in his pants, and you could even see his underwear underneath.

"No... I'm sorry." Even the usually carefree Tan Lin felt her face burning up at this moment.

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly stood up, blushed, tidied her hair, and then turned her face away, not daring to look at Wen Jinian again.

Although she has a straightforward personality, she is still a woman after all, and it would be strange if she didn't blush when she saw a man's private parts.

After a moment of surprise, Wen Jinian's face turned red instantly.

He then quickly and awkwardly covered the torn area with his hand, looking at Tan Lin with a bewildered expression.

After waiting a while, Tan Lin finally spoke up: "How about you take your pants off and I'll sew them for you?"
