"Why is it you?" She asked in astonishment, realizing that her cheeks were wet. She hurriedly wiped them away, not wanting Ling Yiheng to see her embarrassment.

"You're at my house." His tone was so light that Zuo Zixian realized just in time that this was not her own home.

She was a bit upset, she shouldn't have fallen asleep. This wasn't her house, how could she have fallen asleep so easily?

This time, she no longer had any reason to be angry. After all, this was his territory and it was normal for him to see her crying. Besides, his eyes were only there for him to look at. There was no reason for him to be angry.

"Sorry." She spoke in a low voice, slow and husky from just waking up.

Immediately Ling Yiheng was astonished, he did not expect Zuo Zixian, who had a sullen and angry look just now, to take the initiative to apologize. This fact surprised him.

However, the admiration towards her increased even further. She was not an unreasonable woman, that was good.

The man handed her a packet of tissues and asked softly, "You had a nightmare?"

Zuo Zisheng reached out to take the paper towel, but he wasn't willing to talk about his dream, especially since there was no way for him to solve the problem, so it was better not to fret about it.

She tried to change the subject, glanced at him, and asked, "What time is it?"

Ling Yiheng rolled up his wrist, looked at the time on his watch and replied, "It's almost three. "My assistant got into a car accident on the way, so I can't send you the clothes right now. You should go to the guest room to sleep, I'll have clothes for you in the morning."

Hearing the words' car accident ', Zuo Zixian's heart immediately tightened. Thinking about how her father was also in a car accident and had yet to wake up in the hospital, she still felt very sad.

Now that they heard about the accident, they naturally felt more touched than most.

Her face was somewhat pale, and she could not help but ask with concern, "Is he alright?"

Ling Yiheng paused for a moment, a trace of suspicion appearing in his cold eyes.

Zuo Zixian did not seem to be someone who would easily care about others, especially if he was a stranger.

"It's nothing. I just got hit by someone in the car. The traffic police are handling it right now."

Zuo Zixian didn't wait for Ling Yiheng to find out what was going on in her eyes. He stood up and thanked him politely and politely, "Then I'll have to trouble you tonight, thank you."

Ling Yiheng's face slightly changed. He really didn't like her being so polite, especially the feeling of distance in her tone, which made him more irritated.

"Do you hate me?" The man suddenly asked. His voice was like calm water, carrying a sense of probing. He suppressed the hostility in his heart and did not reveal it.

Of all the women he had come into contact with, anyone who had eyes and yet didn't take the initiative to show good will to him would never give him such a cold response. Though she amused him, she aroused an unprecedented subjugation in him.

That feeling would erupt from his body at any moment. His resistance towards her was even more unbearable.

Zuo Zi Wu could not help but frown, and his body also shrank back, but he did not know how to reply.

She wanted to get out of the way, but the man stubbornly refused to let her go. His tall and handsome body was like a tall wall standing in front of her, blocking her sight and making her unable to retreat.

After a long moment of stalemate, Zuo Zisheng sighed and slowly raised his head.

As soon as their eyes met, it was as if they were electrocuted, causing Zuo Zixian's entire body to tremble, he immediately retracted his gaze.

She really didn't know what was wrong with her. Why was it that ever since she met him, she became more and more strange?

No, it can't go on like this.

After taking in a deep breath, she returned her gaze to his exquisite face. Her eyes were calm as she said, "I don't hate you. "It's just that the transaction is between us, so I naturally have to abide by the principles of the transaction."

"Principles of the transaction? "What is it?" He could not help but ask. His gloomy gaze was fixed on the beautiful face that had just woken up, carrying a bit of doubt with it.

Zuo Zisheng slightly moved his stiff body, pulling away from him. His mind was in a state of tension.

But how would she answer that question?

"It's getting late, let's rest early." She subconsciously changed the topic, wanting to escape this question.

She didn't think that her answer would be what the man in front of her wanted to hear.

"No, answer my question first." Seeing that her back was pressed against the wall while she was still slowly moving away from him, Ling Yiheng immediately closed in on her. Even the breath that he was breathing out from his nose landed on her forehead.

Where else could she escape to?

"Ah?" "I …" She was somewhat startled, but she didn't dare to look Ling Yiheng in the eye.

At this moment, because of his sudden approach, the smell of his men's perfume and his unique smell invaded her nose.
