Qin Hanze calmed himself down and replied, ”It's fine, I'll continue driving.” Wen Zhizhi only thought that he was too tired recently, so she didn't think too much about it.

When they got home, Wen Zhizhi put the bell around the cat's neck and teased it for a while before returning to her room.

Ever since Qin Hanze had returned, he had turned into his study. Even if Wen Zhizhi was worried about him, she didn't dare to easily barge in. After all, with Qin Hanze's temper, if he said anything more, she would definitely make him unhappy. So she only held her eyelids while waiting for him to come back, only falling asleep in her tiredness. She didn't realize that in the middle of the night, a cold ray of light had been fixed on her through the crack in the door.

The next morning, Wen Zhizhi woke up around six. She found the light still on in Qin Hanze's study room, so she stood at the door and knocked.

”Han Ze, are you there?”

There was no sound from inside, and Wendy thought he might be asleep. She was worried that he might be sick from the cold, so she tried the door.

Eh? The door was open?

Usually, Qin Hanze's study room was locked by him. Without his permission, no one was allowed to enter, not even Wen Zhizhi.

”Creak …” The door was pushed open, and a gust of cold air came out, sending goosebumps up Wen Zhizhi's arm.

”So cold.” Wen Zhizhi whispered as she walked into his study.

Monotone black and white adornments covered this room, making it look somewhat stiff and serious. Behind the desk, there was a huge bookcase. It was evident how extensive Qin Hanze's knowledge was.

”Who let you in?”

A cold tone suddenly came from behind her, shocking Wen Zhizhi so much that she immediately turned around and bumped into the desk.

”Pah!”

Qin Hanze's eyes darkened as he saw the picture of himself and his younger brother overturned on the ground. Fortunately, Wen Zhizhi didn't discover the picture on the back of the frame. Instead, he clenched his palms into fists.

”Um, sorry, I'll help you clean it up right away.” Because of her carelessness, Wen Zhizhi immediately squatted down to pick up the pieces, but she was unexpectedly stopped by Qin Hanze.

”There's no need, let the housekeeping come and clean up later. Breakfast is ready, let's go down and eat. ”

Wen Zhizhi raised her head to look at his face. There was no trace of anger on her face, and she was extremely surprised.

Seeing Qin Hanze turn to leave, Wen Zhizhi immediately followed, silently following beside him. Even at the dining table, they didn't have any interactions, making her think that she had angered Qin Hanze again.

”Then I'll leave first.” Wen Zhizhi lowered her head, not daring to look at him. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and left her seat.

”Wait!”

Qin Hanze suddenly called out to her. Wen Zhizhi heard the sound of a chair being moved behind her and turned around.

The cold thin lips pressed down on her forehead, but it only lasted for a moment before it drove away all the complicated feelings in Wen Zhizhi's heart.

”Be careful on the road. I have some matters to attend to today, so I might not be able to pick you up.”

”Alright, I understand.” Wen Zhizhi looked up at him, then away, with a hint of shyness.

However, in Qin Hanze's eyes, she only thought that she was doing it.

After watching Wen Zhizhi leave, Qin Hanze took out the phone in his pocket, swiped through the contact list a few times, found the appropriate person, and then dialed the other person's number.
