Once Upon A One Night Stand

The next day, Shu Tian went to the company with Li Han as usual. It was almost the end of the year. The busiest time had passed, and they finished the work they were doing. Now arrived the time of relaxation and expectation, followed by plans for the new year shift.

Most of the employees of the HY Law Office were from outside the country. Shu Tian and Zhang Rui'er were the only locals in this group, so Shu Tian volunteered to be on duty.

"I have time from the fifth day to the eighth day." The last three days were the last days that others liked to be on duty. It was tiring to go home all the way and come back again.

With Shu Tian's words, everyone let up for spending a peaceful year. They didn't need to run back and forth like before.

Everyone thanked Shu Tian one after another. After coming to the company for so long, she felt the warmth between colleagues for the first time.

In fact, it was just a matter of taking care of each other. She would try her best to do whatever she could do. Over time, everyone's opinion of her would change.

"By the way, you all know about your year-end bonus this year, right?" Colleague Liu whispered, "How much can you get?"

"Probably a lot this year. Didn't director Wei insinuate at the last meeting?"

"Yes, our company give away a really big year-end award to everyone every year. I heard from the Purchasing Department that they have bought a lot of electronic products for the annual meeting. We will have one of them."

"Really..."

Shu Tian's heart warmed up as she listened to the various discussions around her. The gossip and laughter that she used to hate the most now seemed so human. After more than half a year of getting along and contacting, from being ostracized at the beginning to now, Shu Tian had the feeling of integrating into the collective for the first time.

In the evening, her colleagues organized the last group dinner of the year. Wei Xiangming also went. Shu Tian told Li Han in advance and went to a restaurant near the company in her colleagues' car. Wei Xiangming booked a private room in advance, and the twelve people made a circle around the table.

They each ordered a dish, and Shu Tian ordered boiled duck-blood curd and tripe in chili broth, a total of 12 dishes. After that, Wei Xiangming asked everyone for the first time, "This is the last dinner of our department this year. Do you want to drink?"

Liu was the first to agree. "Not liquor. Just beer!"

"Okay, I'll drink with you!"

One of them said that, and the rest lost their reserve. A few female colleagues who liked to drink also ordered a few bottles of specially brewed beer.

They spent a pleasant night during the meal. In the end, everyone toasted Wei Xiangming and said polite words to each other. It was Shu Tian's turn. "Director Wei, I especially thank you for trusting me and giving me great support on my work. If you weren't in company, I might not have been able to stick to the work for so long."

If Liu Wei had always been her boss, she might have given up halfway.

Wei Xiangming, who had left office, no longer had the leadership style and got along well with everyone. Hearing Shu Tian's words, she smiled like a little girl who had been rewarded. "I'm so embarrassed by your praise."

A gossipy colleague looked at Shu Tian. "Shu Tian, I really didn't expect you do well at work. To be honest, I had a lot of prejudice against you back then. I thought you were a vase. Now it seems that even if you are a vase, you are also a powerful vase!"

A few drinks had loosened everyone's tongue. Of course, Shu Tian did not mind what he said. She replied jokingly, "I accept it as praise."

"This year has come to a successful end. Next year, we will work hard together. If anyone has done anything wrong in the past, we should support one another." Wei Xiangming's words were like keys to each other, opening the locked heart.

Shu Tian was also happy and inevitably drank a few glasses, but she controlled the amount and did not drink too much.

When the dinner was over, it was already 8:30 pm. It was not early. Everyone had to work tomorrow and went back to their respective homes. Shu Tian did not ask Li Han to send someone to pick him up. Afraid that he would be distracted, she called a taxi.

An hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of Imperial Villa. Shu Tian got out of the car, unscrewed the cap of mineral water in her hand, and took a sip to dilute the smell of alcohol in her mouth. After repeating it several times, she reached out and opened the password door of the villa.

She put her fingertips on it and the door opened with a soft click.

It was quiet in the living room, and Nanny Li was the only one cleaning. When she saw her coming back, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Shu, you're back."

Shu Tian nodded and put on her slippers. "Nanny Li, where's Li Han?"

"Mr. Li and doctor Ling are upstairs."

She was slightly surprised. "Not finished yet?"

"Yes, it's been more than an hour. It's probably complicated." Nanny Li's sharp nose caught the smell of alcohol on her body. "Miss Shu, have you drunk? Do you need some hangover soup?" Shu Tian waved her hand. "No, Nanny Li. I didn't drink much, there's no need to do that."

She carried her bag. Fortunately, she walked with smooth steps.

After climbing upstairs, Shu Tian was about to walk to the bedroom. When her hand was about to touch the door, she suddenly heard a woman's painful cry from the guest room at the end of the corridor. She paused, guessed who it was, frowned slightly, and turned to the other side.

The closer she walked, the more obvious the cry became. It was depressing, painful, and tearful. It gave her the goosebumps just hearing that.

The door of the guest room was not completely closed. Maybe for drinking a little wine, she directly raised her hand and pushed the door open.

In the bedroom, a white instrument that was half a person tall was shining, and all the light sources shone on Jiang Chujing's body. She was wearing a white isolation suit, but it still couldn't stop the strong light from stimulating her.

She looked very painful and grabbed Li Han's arm with one hand. It seemed that Li Han couldn't bear to look at it. He pacified her in her back with his head turned.

The concern in his eyes almost overflowed, and the slight trembling of his palm showed the compassion in the man's heart.

Even though she knew it was out of the need to check, Shu Tian's heart was still stabbed when she saw this scene. No one liked her man to be intimate with another woman, but she could not say anything. Shu Tian stood at the door for nearly five minutes, and finally, Junze find her first. "Shu Tian, you're here."

Li Han looked over. He had only been observing Jiang Chujing's situation just now, but he did not notice when she came.

His big palm fell from Jiang Chujing's body, and his arm was still grabbed by her. He couldn't leave, so he could only make a slight hint with his eyes.

Seeing that Ling Junze was also busy, Shu Tian pulled out a forced smile and tactfully turned to leave the room.

The door was closed, isolating what was going on inside. Standing in the corridor, Shu Tian gently closed her eyes, as if this would reduce her worries. She could only pray in her heart that such a day would not last long.
