Chapter 60

Anhao replied as though she had been seriously wronged. After that, she picked up the tissue box on the table and held it in her arms as she pulled out the tissue piece by piece, wiping the tears off her face.

After that, she whimpered as she continued crying, “You are such a big bully! You are forcing me to study and you were the one who arranged for me to have a tutor to coach me in my studies. Now that the tutor is here and I am already studying obediently, you are accusing me of something else! You are really very unfair to me…”

Anhao continued crying as she wiped the tears off her face, and she crumpled the tissue piece by piece before throwing them into the paper basket one by one. However, none of the tissue paper were really soaked in tears.

Zuo Hancheng felt that his head was already hurting because of her fake tears. Therefore, he grabbed the tissue box from her hand before throwing it on the table.

When he saw that her face was really a little pale, he stood up without saying anything else.

Anhao knew that she should not try and provoke him any further. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her once again before he picked up two answer sheets that were placed on the table.

He saw that the answers on the answer sheets were not as bad as it was before where almost all the questions were answered incorrectly. In fact, it seemed as though Anhao had gotten eighty percent of the basic questions correct this time.

Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else and he simply placed the answer sheets back on the table before walking out of the study room.

Anhao finally heaved a huge sigh of relief as soon as she saw him leaving.

Even though she was the one who willingly accepted the tutoring arrangements, she felt frustrated because it seemed as though she was only studying and working so hard because Zuo Hancheng was forcing her to do so.

Anhao tidied up her book and answer sheets before she came out of the study room. She saw Zuo Hancheng sitting on the sofa as he kept rubbing his temples with his hands. It seemed as though he was really having a headache.

No. He would not be having a headache just because of her, right?

Anhao walked toward the sofa in disbelief, and it was only when she was standing close to him that she suddenly smelled the faint scent of alcohol on his body. Therefore, she looked at him in surprise as she asked, “Did you drink?”

That was why Zuo Hancheng could not be bothered to continue arguing with her earlier. If he lost in the argument against her earlier simply because he was drunk, then it meant that she was not as invincible as she thought. At this time, all the excitement that she felt was extinguished in the blink of an eye.

“I had a few drinks with some of the industry partners earlier tonight,” Zuo Hancheng replied softly.

When Anhao saw him rubbing his forehead again, she knew that he was really having a bad headache. Therefore, she instinctively moved closer to him before she sniffed him and said, “You smell like white wine, mixed with several other types of wine. I don’t think you are really drunk. You are probably just feeling dizzy because of the side effects of the alcohol. I guess you can’t avoid drinking during business-related dinners like this since you are the president of a very big and prestigious company, huh?”

Zuo Hancheng put his hands down and glanced at her before he said, “You are still young so there is a lot that you do not understand.”

Anhao was really discontented because he said that she was young. He was not that old anyway. He was only ten years older than she was so what difference did that make anyway? How young could she be to him?

Moreover, Anhao knew that those small companies and those people who were working in government offices would have to be out socializing all the time. Therefore, as a multinational corporation, the president of Shengling Group definitely played a pivotal role in the domestic and international business community. That was the reason why Zuo Hancheng would surely be socializing way more than she could even begin to imagine.

However, Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng was a very disciplined person and he would only attend any dinner or social gathering if it were the last resort. Zuo Hancheng would turn down many of these socializing events because he knew that his stomach would not be able to handle it.
