Chapter 1275: Chapter 1274: Suspicion Chapter 1275: Chapter 1274: Suspicion Su Qian thought about this, and she became even more pleased, suddenly looking forward to it, it was truly killing two birds with one stone.
Her lips couldn't help but curve slightly upwards.
The banquet lasted until 11 p.m. before it ended, and Zhou Shengting sat back in the car, adjusting his tie. He closed his eyes, “Drive.”
All he wanted now was to get home quickly and hold his wife.
These social engagements were truly exhausting.
Without Bai Lan sharing the experience, Zhou Shengting suddenly found it less enjoyable.
When he got home, Bai Lan was curled up on the sofa, seemingly asleep.
Zhou Shengting tread lightly as he walked over. As he approached, Bai Lan slowly opened her eyes.
“You're back?” Bai Lan rubbed her bleary eyes and then spoke.
“Yeah, why did you fall asleep here? I'm worried you'll catch a cold,” Zhou Shengting said, slightly reproachful in his concern.
“It's okay, I was waiting for you to come back, but who knew I would fall asleep,” Bai Lan said, sticking out her tongue, a bit embarrassed.
“Silly girl, don't wait up for me next time,” Zhou Shengting said as he stroked her head.
Suddenly, a strong scent of perfume wafted over.
And the scent was familiar, it was daisy, somewhat subtle, not too sweet or cloying.
This wasn't the smell of men's cologne, but a woman's perfume.
Bai Lan frowned slightly, then asked, “How did tonight's banquet go? Was it a success?”
“Don't you trust your husband's ability?” Zhou Shengting spoke with a frown.
Bai Lan nodded, suppressing the nauseous feeling inside, and then spoke, “You better go shower.”
She urged him, as she really couldn't stand the smell of the perfume.
Seeing Bai Lan's disgusted look, Zhou Shengting felt puzzled, “What's wrong?”
“Don't come any closer, I feel like throwing up. Go take a shower quickly,” Bai Lan said, her tone a bit harsh.
Zhou Shengting felt innocent, he sniffed himself and frowned slightly, faintly detecting the scent of the perfume.
He guessed it must have gotten on him while dancing with Su Qian.
But that wouldn't explain it all, he feared Bai Lan would misunderstand and get upset.
So, he said with a smile, “It turns out I smell this bad, lots of people at the banquet, probably got it from there.”
Bai Lan listened to his explanation and did not say anything more.
Zhou Shengting turned and went to the room, planning to take a shower first, otherwise, he really would be disliked by his wife.
Bai Lan watched his retreating figure, deep in thought.
How many people were there at the banquet, and how close did they have to be to get their front clothes stained with perfume?
And just now, Bai Lan noticed there was also a bit of lipstick on his shirt, and since it was a white shirt, that smudge of red was particularly striking and glaring.
Bai Lan saw that Zhou Shengting appeared normal, and indeed he had been at the banquet tonight, with many uncertain factors existing.
So she decided not to agonize over these issues anymore.
She returned to bed and slowly closed her eyes.
When Zhou Shengting came out, he discovered she was already asleep, her breathing even, her expression peaceful.
He smiled, then lay down beside her, and then hugged her tightly.
Only this feeling was real.
Bai Lan felt she might be a bit heartless; she almost had a dreamless night and slept soundly until morning.
She got up to find that Zhou Shengting had already gone to the company, but he had left a rare romantic note on the bedside table.
“Darling, remember to eat breakfast after you wake up. Call me if there's anything, and I've gone to work. I'll come back early tonight. I hope you maintain a good mood all day.”
Bai Lan read it and smiled knowingly.
