Chapter 1273: Chapter 1272 Anniversary Celebration (2) Chapter 1273: Chapter 1272 Anniversary Celebration (2) Zhou Shengting squinted at her tightly bitten lips for a long time before his voice suddenly turned hoarse.

“Don’t bite your lip.”

Bai Lan looked up, her eyes somewhat hazy as she regarded him, a trace of confusion in her starry eyes.

Zhou Shengting’s voice seemed to grow even deeper, “Do you know how enticing you look right now? How am I supposed to kiss you from this distance?”

Bai Lan immediately released her teeth, and blood flowed smoothly, her lips becoming even more lusciously red…

Bai Lan was speechless, very annoyed–wasn’t she a pregnant woman right now?

She felt that her body was becoming more and more bloated, her limbs growing thicker.

She was becoming less confident by the day, yet Zhou Shengting thought she looked even more voluptuous and beautiful than before.

Zhou Shengting loved to see her with this expression; it was so adorable. He curved his lips in pleasure and then said, “I really want to go home now.”

“Shut up, you go ahead with your work, I need to rest,” Bai Lan said, a little embarrassed and annoyed at being stared at.

She urged him to attend to his affairs quickly.

“Alright, since you’re tired, you should rest early,” Zhou Shengting said, immediately feeling reluctant at the mention of her tiredness.

Bai Lan hummed a response.

Zhou Shengting chuckled and ended the call. Afterwards, he walked to the window, gazing at the bustling traffic outside, his heart at peace.

Content with such a wife.

In fact, the main event was at 8 p.m.

A little after seven, the guests started pouring in–company employees, important dignitaries, and spokesperson Su Qian had all arrived at the scene.

The anniversary celebration officially began.

Because Bai Lan couldn’t come, Zhou Shengting always felt a touch of regret in his heart, but as the CEO, he had to open the event.

Discussing Sheng Ting’s future prospects and motivating the company employees–these official matters naturally carried more weight when spoken by Zhou Shengting himself.

The layout and decor of the hotel were exceptionally luxurious and high-end.

The white and metallic yellow hues were cleverly merged, instantly elevating the entire banquet to an opulent level.

The scent of champagne and fresh flowers permeated the banquet, undoubtedly a high-quality event.

Perhaps only the Gu Group could rival it.

Here, the Gu Group was universally known.

In the center of the banquet on a raised platform, a high-tech touch-sensitive liquid crystal display screen occupied almost half of the entire wall.

Zhou Shengting stood on the stage, with the liquid crystal screen behind him, playing the development history of Sheng Ting, showing how it evolved from a small company into the Sheng Ting Corporation, a path fraught with hardships but marked with a sense of achievement.

After finishing the speech, it was time for the opening dance.

The opening dance was usually performed by Zhou Shengting and a female companion, but because Zhou Shengting was attending alone this year, the legendary Madam Zhou did not appear, and many employees were unaware that Zhou Shengting was already married.

A portion of the employees knew of Zhou Shengting’s marriage, but speculated in their hearts that the couple’s relationship must be average at best.

Otherwise, why would Madam Zhou not show up at such an important occasion?

This was, after all, Sheng Ting’s most significant gala, and everyone was whispering about it.

Some murmured beneath their breath, and Su Qian, standing aside, could hear everything crystal clear.

She felt smug in her heart. She had seen Madam Zhou at Mr. Zhou’s birthday banquet–a very ordinary woman. How did she manage to captivate CEO Zhou’s heart?

Last time, probably out of respect for the elders, she must have felt obliged to attend, but this time, since the attendees were all from the company and important guests, perhaps she didn’t dare to show, a true sign of pettiness.
