Chapter 1272: Chapter 1271 Anniversary Celebration (1) Chapter 1272: Chapter 1271 Anniversary Celebration (1) The weekend had arrived.

Normally, at this time, Zhou Shengting would be by Bai Lan’s side, but today was an important day for the company.

Yes, it was the company’s anniversary celebration.

Zhou Shengting had arrived at the venue very early. Although everything had been arranged by his staff, he still wanted to check everything himself to be sure.

Besides the company’s staff, he had also invited important partners and some local dignitaries.

When he left, Bai Lan was still asleep, so he didn’t disturb her.

It was only after he had checked the venue and looked at the time, realizing it was getting late, that he initiated a video call on WeChat.

Bai Lan had just finished breakfast and was enjoying the view from the balcony.

Seeing the flashing phone screen, a softness flickered across her face.

She lifted her finger and lightly tapped the screen.

The clear and handsome face of Zhou Shengting then appeared on the small phone screen.

“Did you get up? Why didn’t you sleep a bit longer?” Zhou Shengting said with a smile.

“Do you think I’m a pig? I’ve already slept a lot,” Bai Lan laughed softly and said, slightly irritated.

“In my heart, you are a cute little pig,” Zhou Shengting teased.

Bai Lan’s lips curved up, and she tucked her knees into the swing chair, gazing at him gently.

Zhou Shengting also stared at her face for a while, his deep and noble voice slowly rising, “Make sure to rest. I might be quite busy later; the guests are about to arrive.”

“Is everything ready?” Not being able to be there, Bai Lan felt quite regretful.

She really wanted to be by his side at moments like this, but the current situation didn’t allow it.

“Yes, everything is ready, don’t worry,” Zhou Shengting said confidently, everything under control.

“Rest if you’re tired, eat if you’re hungry, and don’t make me worry.” Zhou’s mother had been busy recently, so she seldom came over, which actually relieved Zhou Shengting a bit, didn’t it?

A stunned expression gradually warmed up with a tender glow, Bai Lan smiled and shook her head gently, her voice soft and slow.

“I know, you’re nagging.”

“You girl…” Zhou Shengting smiled helplessly-she was the only one who talked to him like that.

Zhou Shengting’s lips curled into a smile; he tilted his head slightly, picked up the water glass from the table, and took a sip.

“How long will you be busy before you come back?” Bai Lan couldn’t help asking, as she was used to his company on weekends.

Zhou Shengting gripped the water glass, a scholarly smile spilling from the depths of his ink-black eyes, gradually spreading over his originally handsome face.

“Miss me?”

Bai Lan stared at his face, somewhat dazzled.

His eyebrows were like ink paintings, elegant and suave.

“Hm? Why aren’t you speaking?” Zhou Shengting slightly raised his eyebrows, the amusement in his eyes deepening.

Seeing Bai Lan so focused on him, he felt a bit smug inside–she must have been mesmerized by him, right?

Bai Lan came back to her senses, feeling a bit sheepish–she had really been lost in his gaze.

Today, Zhou Shengting looked exceptionally handsome in his suit, enough to make her heart flutter wildly.

Bai Lan looked at his teasing face and felt her ears turn red.

Zhou Shengting laughed, and just as he thought he wouldn’t get a response from her, Bai Lan softly murmured, “Mhm.”

Zhou Shengting’s brows suddenly jumped, his gaze intensifying as he looked at the woman again.

He saw her lovely face flushed with a noticeable blush, her lips tightly pursed.

Zhou Shengting laughed; she was always so adorable.
