Chapter 78
Shu Tian was a little surprised. "How do you know?"
She said those words unconsciously. But she regretted it the moment she said it. Didn't her words prove that Li Han had guessed everything correctly...
"I told you to keep your distance from Ye Junting, now you believe me?" The man's cold gaze swept over. He glared at her as if an adult was scolding a child for doing something wrong. Men know men best. Ye Junting's behaviors were enough to show that he liked Shu Tian.
Shu Tian knew that sooner or later she would not be able to hide it. She raised her hand and touched her nose resentfully. She muttered, "Who would have thought of such a thing to happen?" She had never imagined that she would be together with Ye Junting. Therefore, his confession was very unexpected to her.
"Tsk!" Seeing that she was still talking back, Li Han was stunned and raised his hand trying to hit her on the head.
Shu Tian was so scared that she shrank her neck and hid away while hurriedly said, "A gentleman will not do anything rude!"
"Gentleman?" Hearing these two words, Li Han sneered. "Don't I look like an old rascal with a big age and a bad temper to you? Why am I a gentleman now?"
Seeing that she did not speak anymore, Li Han withdrew his hand and landed on top of her head. "You are really a wise man who knows when to retreat and can take temporary setbacks."
Shu Tian smiled awkwardly and muttered discontentedly, "Why don't you just give me an excuse?"
Li Han narrowed his eyes and his voice was already tinged with a sense of impatience. "Say it again!"
Shu Tian was exactly like a cat who would only scratch her master to release some little temper but she would never continue if she realized that Li Han was about to get angry. "Oh, do the words you once said about being my instructor still count?"
Li Han glanced at her. "You want to be my apprentice?"
Apprentice?
It seemed that they were the same things.
"Well, almost."
The corner of the old man's mouth twitched. How could she take it so easy as many people tried so hard to obtain this opportunity?
Li Han leaned back a little with his hands propping up himself on the bed. His posture was languid with a hint of sexiness and his sharp black eyes looked at her intentionally or unintentionally. "Not impossible. It depends on your performance."
Shu Tian didn't expect him to be so proud. She moved her butt away from him letting out an Ouch. "Forget it if you don't want to."
Li Han nodded thoughtfully. "Okay, anyway, whether your future work is going well or not depends on now."
"Are you threatening me?!"
"I'm teaching you the ways of the world."
"... Aren't you trying to use the unspoken rules on me?" As she spoke, she crossed her hands to protect her chest. "You demon finally outstretched your hands to a workplace newbie like me!"
Li Han was amused by her appearance and he curled his thin lips up slightly. He looked at her leisurely and let out a low and deep voice. "I have already used the unspoken rules on you! Are you satisfied with me?"
Shu Tian could only feel a stream of hot air coming up from the bottom of her feet, and her cheeks were burning red. "Can you say something serious?"
Li Han saw that her face reddening like an apple and smiled even more brilliant. He even pinched the soft meat on her cheek with malice. "I told you that I'll see how you behave."
He never took a step back when it came to taking her advantage.
But...
A little woman who was almost burned because of her shyness whispered hesitantly, "I still feel a little pain..."
Discussing this topic openly was still a test for Shu Tian to be thick-skinned. She admired Li Han's persistence in this kind of thing, from his energy to his physical strength. Hearing this, Li Han frowned and reached out to pull her pajamas. "Let me see."
What did he say? See... See what!
Shu Tian jumped out of bed suddenly and hid in the corner of the room, regardless of the pain. "No, no, no, no. It's not that serious. Don't bother Boss Li to take a look!"
If he took off her pajama and took a look himself... No, it was impossible. She would rather jump off the second floor, really.
Even if she was going to be disabled for the rest of her life.
Fortunately, Li Han did not insist seeing that she was very resistant. Shu Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief and moved back to bed.
The man finally calmed down and became serious. "After this lawsuit is over, the internship will be over. I will let you pass directly. You don't need me to protect you anymore when you become an official employee as you don't need an instructor then."
Shu Tian suddenly realized, "Ah... I remember. Ye Junting seemed to say the same thing."
Li Han looked slightly at her. When he heard the word Ye Junting coming out of her mouth, he was especially upset. "Why didn't you care so much about what I said?"
Shu Tian didn't know why he acted like this but she understood that this man was unusually concerned about Ye Junting. She smiled and joked, "What are you doing? Are you jealous?"
An unnatural look flashed through Li Han's face, "No."
After that, he turned his back to prevent Shu Tian from seeing his expression.
However, she was still sensitive to the fleeting emotions. It was rare for her to see Li Han suffer a setback. She immediately became playful and went around him. "Are you really jealous?"
The man's voice was cold and stern. "No."
"Tsk, you're just stubborn. If you're jealous, just admit it." Shu Tian pretended to be sorry and shook her head. "Chauvinism..."
Li Han knew that she was deliberately ashamed of him and he actually felt a little embarrassed. He said in an unpleasant tone, "Need me to give you another good lesson? I'll take a look at the follow-up work and coordinate it. If you're afraid of meeting him embarrassingly and uncomfortable, I can make you avoid working with him completely."
Shu Tian thought for a moment. In fact, what she was most afraid of was that there would be some unnecessary trouble in her work in the future. Although she still regarded Ye Junting as a senior in her heart, after all, she would feel uncomfortable with him as he made the confession. Once she had mixed thoughts in her heart, her work efficiency would naturally decrease.
She didn't want these private affairs to affect her work so it wouldn't be a bad thing to avoid working with him.
After a moment of consideration, Shu Tian readily agreed. "That's fine."
However, what Shu Tian didn't expect was that Li Han's way to "avoid" was completely different from what she thought.
Not long after the newcomer assessment was over, she actually heard the news that Ye Junting was leaving. She had a hunch that this might have something to do with her so Shu Tian went to Ye Junting's office after the meeting. Just as she was about to push the door open, she suddenly heard Wu Mengfan's voice coming from inside.
Shu Tian's hand, which was knocking on the door, suddenly stopped in midair. It was not right to enter in or to go back. Just as she was about to take a few steps back, she suddenly heard her name coming out of Wu Mengfan's mouth.
"Lawyer Ye, do you really think it's a coincidence that you left this job? Don't you think everything that relates to Shu Tian is very strange, including the last time when Director Liu fell from the building? Now even you have an unexpected bad ending now!"
