Chen Ziyi and Jin Di both stood close to her. Both of them had smiles on their faces, but their eyes were as cold as ice.
“You’re a very busy man. Today, I asked my men to make an appointment with your company to meet with you, but they refused without giving any reason why. I’m really a little shocked.”
Jin Di knew that the Chen Corporation had called him today, and he had directly instructed Danil to refuse.
He had a pretty good guess of why Chen Ziyi might have wanted to see him. He did not like to deal with personal matters during work hours, let alone with someone like Chen Ziyi, who wasn’t even worth the trouble.
“Mr. Chen, you must be joking. It must have been a judgment made by the Secretary Department based on the current needs of the company.”
Jin Di said it lightly, but his actual meaning was clear.
“From a work perspective, there was no need for us to meet. No matter how many times you ask, the result will be the same.”
“What if I want to talk about things other than work? Mr. Jin, don’t you have any interest in talking to me?”
Chen Ziyi’s words made Zuo Aiai’s heart skip a beat. She instinctively turned to look at the expression on Jin Di’s face…
But she only saw the corner of his lips curled up slightly, as if he had just heard a joke.
“No, I don’t want to talk to Mr. Chen about anything other than work.”
“You know perfectly well what my relationship with Zuo Aiai used to be.” The smile on Chen Ziyi’s face suddenly disappeared, and his voice turned cold.
However, Jin Di was still smiling. “So what?”
“You don’t care?” Chen Ziyi’s voice contained traces of disbelief and anger.
Jin Di narrowed his eyes and shifted his clear and cold gaze from Chen Ziyi to look at Zuo Aiai.
She felt as though she was a child who had just heard her teacher call on her to answer a question in class, and her entire body trembled.
But then, he calmly thew out the words, “Come here.”
Her body did not seem to belong to her anymore. When she heard his command, she could not help but walk towards him.
The warm man’s palm pressed against her cheek. She was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she saw the corner of his mouth slightly raise, and he looked at her with a very doting gaze.
“Your face is so cold. Why didn’t you come earlier?”
Before she could say anything, he suddenly put his arm around her shoulder and nodded slightly at Chen Ziyi.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Chen. Zuo Aiai feels cold, so we’ll be leaving now.”
She followed him numbly. There were a few times when she wanted to stop to look back at Chen Ziyi’s expression behind her, but whenever there was even the slightest hint of disobedience in her movements…
The hands on her shoulders would increase the force, causing her to frown in pain.
She did not know if he was angry. She clearly hadn’t done anything wrong, but she still felt guilty.
She lowered her head and walked quietly for a while before she couldn’t help but try to explain herself.
“He did this on purpose…I came out immediately when I saw him there. I…I have nothing to do with him anymore…”
She didn’t have anything to do with Jin Di either, not really.
Except for their agreement.
So why did she still feel like she had to explain?
He did not reply and just kept walking toward the car door. He didn’t open the car door, and she didn’t move.
Suddenly…
He broke the silence.
“I don’t care about the past between the two of you, but Zuo Aiai, you have to know whose woman you are now. When facing other men, you are not allowed to have even the slightest bit of pity.”
After saying that, he turned around indifferently and walked towards the other side of the car.
