Chapter 134 Pressuring Her Step by Step

faint expression. She then spoke:That year, the boy I liked stood under the banyan tree, just wearing a white shirt. From then on, I fell in love with white shirts.Today, with you wearing a white shi..."You just said that Miss Jian mumbled my name in her dream" If I understand correctly, "A-Lu" refers to him, right Lu Chen's expression was very strange... Could it be that my charm is too great Besides Xiao Heng taking Jian Tong on a date that day, he and Jian Tong only met once.

"Shen Xiujin, is her real name 'Alu'" Curiosity overwhelmed everything else. Lu Chen's acting skills were truly top-notch.

Before he could finish speaking, the person on the other end of the phone hung up.

"Hello Hello Shen Xiujin, haven't you answered me yet!"

On the phone, Shen Xiujin directly hung up.

This wasn't the first time he had heard the words "Ah Lu" in this woman's dreams. If it wasn't Lu Chen... then who was it

He bent his fingers and tapped on the conference table, then suddenly stopped and immediately called Shen Yi: "Go check if there's someone named 'Alu' in the prison."

It's clear that although Shen Xiujing couldn't be entirely sure if there was someone called "Alu" around Jian Tong three years ago, the fact that she dreamt about this name after returning three years later points directly to one place – the prison where she had been held for three years!

He turned around and went back to the office.

The woman on the sofa was asleep, deeply and without any sign of waking.

He sat behind his desk working, when the secretary at his side came in: “Shen...”

The secretary just spoke up, and the man behind her desk immediately raised his finger, signaling for silence. He then glanced towards the sofa. The secretary followed his gaze and saw a woman asleep on the couch. She nodded repeatedly, indicating understanding.

Without a word, she walked towards the desk with her heels clicking against the floor. The sound, however, couldn't drown out the icy glare that shot from behind the desk. The poor secretary's heart pounded in her chest, and she hurriedly tiptoed to avoid further attention.

Probably, in this world, only women understand that wearing high heels seven or eight centimeters tall and then walking on tiptoes can be considered one of the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty!

Finally making it to the desk, he placed the file on the table and whispered, "Mr. Shen, this document needs your signature."

The secretary watched as her boss signed his name with a flourish, but inwardly she was bitter. Being the boss meant signing things were simple, but for her, it involved fetching and delivering documents - a truly taxing task.

However, this was the first time he saw his usually aloof CEO so nervous and cautious. Out of curiosity, he stole a glance at the sofa... Ugh, disappointing.

Such an ordinary girl……

Looking and looking, I felt a sense of familiarity. After a hint of suspicion arose in my heart, I began to scrutinize more closely. The more I looked, the more it resembled...

Suddenly, I couldn't help myself and asked, "President Shen, that...she looks a lot like Ms. Jian from back then, doesn't she"

She didn't know if it was because of the surprise, her voice had become louder, or if it was because the air conditioning temperature was low, but the woman on the sofa, loosened her eyes. When she opened her eyes, her brain was still in a state of shutdown.

First, she blinked her eyes a few times, taking in her surroundings. Then, she turned her head to look around, her gaze landing on Shen Xiujin behind the desk. In an instant, her mind cleared completely.

"Come here, Jian Tong," the man beckoned to the woman who had just woken up from behind his desk.

He waved his hand, and Jian Tong was stunned, as was the secretary... Uh...

"Miss Jian... " the secretary exclaimed in surprise.

Jian Tong touched the edge of the desk, her trembling body met with the secretary's disbelief.

"You are... Jian Tong" the secretary seemed unable to believe, rushing to the sofa.

Jane's face turned pale, then paler. The accusing gazes, the expressions of disbelief from everyone around her, made it impossible for her to meet anyone's eyes.

Such a gaze, as if repeatedly reminding oneself of the unbearable torment she had endured in those three years. She wanted to live with dignity and self-love, and she also wanted to live with pride and honor...

"Du Secretary," he pulled out a smile that was unbearably awkward and pale. "Long time no see."

Even this greeting, it's rather pale and hollow.

Secretary Du couldn't believe that the woman before him was actually Jian Tong from back then, full of vitality and spirit!

"How did you..." Du became secretary about to ask, suddenly realized it was inappropriate, stopped abruptly, and in an instant, felt a little awkward. "Ms. Jian, I'll go back to work first."

Saying that, she left the CEO's office as if escaping.

At some point, Shen Xiujin had already stood up and walked toward her, raising his hand to glance at the time: "Let's go, it's almost time for lunch, let's go downstairs to eat."

As soon as she thought about having to endure the scrutiny of countless gazes on her way to work again, Jian Tong didn't want to leave this office. She lowered her head and spoke in a hoarse voice, "I'm not hungry."

Shen Xiujin raised an eyebrow slightly: "I'm hungry."

"I... don't want to eat. I... my stomach feels bad, no appetite. I won't eat."

Shen Xiujin saw through this woman's avoidance at a glance. He said calmly, "Oh, you don't feel well Then I'll take you to the hospital."

As he spoke, he feigned taking out his phone and dialing a number: "Bai Yu Xing, are you at the hospital now"

As he was speaking, the woman on the sofa suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve with force. A flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes; he hadn't expected calling Bai Yu to really anger her. Caught off guard, he leaned forward. Anticipating this unexpected turn of events, the man quickly stretched out his other hand and steadied himself against the back of the sofa.

"Hello Hello" The phone was still held to his ear, and Bai Yuxing on the other end had a perplexed expression. "I'm at work, Shen Xiujin Are you still there"

"Oh, is that so I'll be there in a while..." He was saying this when a small hand reached out and tightly covered his lips.

A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, his gaze shifting down to the woman beneath him. He gave her a half-smile and held up his phone, then pointed downwards with his finger, implying he wanted to know if she wanted to go to the hospital or have lunch downstairs.

For Jian Tong, she didn't want to go to either.

"I...we can order takeout," she conceded, taking a step back. Her eyes pleaded... She truly didn't want to face those gazes anymore. She already lived in darkness, why force her to take each step into the sunlight

The man raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. On the phone, Bai Yuxing was shouting: "Shen Xiujin! Are you with Jian Tong Are you with Jian Tong! ... Speak!"

Bai Yu rushed to ask, the other party thumbed a button, silently cutting off the call.

"Beep beep beep—" Bai Yu walked in a daze, staring at his phone. After a long pause: "Damn it!"

Shen Xiujin looked down at the woman beneath him, his gaze drifting to her hand covering her own mouth. Jian Tong followed his gaze and immediately realized that her hand was still covering someone else's mouth. She hurriedly tried to withdraw her hand.

Suddenly!

Her wrist was grabbed suddenly. Jian Tong looked up and saw a man holding her wrist, his black head lowered slightly as he gently kissed the palm of her hand.

Suddenly, my palm felt like it was on fire!hanging by his side clenched tightly... What on earth did his Wei Ming think she was doing!During her lifetime, Mr. [Name] had never treated Wei Ming as intimately as he did that woman. He had always...
