The two of them didn't speak for a long time after the waiter left. In the end, Zuo Ziqian felt that this silence was too awkward and spoke up.

"Thank you so much for yesterday." Her words were a bit restrained, but they were from the bottom of her heart.

However, he most likely chose to thank him because he didn't know what to say. He also didn't want to sit here and stare at the man in front of him.

Not only did the man's expression not change after hearing what she said, he shot a sharp glance at her instead.

"I said, don't say thank you to me." His voice was colder than his eyes.

Ling Yiheng really hated this woman's courtesy in front of him, especially her tone of voice, which seemed to be drawing further and further away from them. This feeling was not what he wanted.

The warm sun enveloped the body of Zuo Zixian who was sitting by the window, causing her to feel like an angel bathing in the sunlight. It was a stark contrast with the cold feeling Ling Yiheng was exuding.

Zuo Zisheng averted his eyes and stopped looking at him, not knowing what to say.

However, this almost indifferent attitude of hers was not what Ling Chengheng wanted to see.

"You have nothing to say to me but thank you?" The man suddenly asked, causing Zuo Zixian to be slightly frightened.

She looked at his face, which had suddenly changed. Her lips moved, but she didn't know what to say.

Say something? She really didn't know what to say to the man in front of her, nor did she think they could have a pleasant conversation.

However, Ling Yiheng didn't intend to give up just like that.

He said to her in a low, threatening voice, "You still have a long time before we meet. You can't possibly not talk to me forever, can you?"

In fact, as soon as he said that sentence, Ling Yiheng immediately felt a bit regretful. After all, he was asking her to talk to him.

He did not know when he had failed to such an extent, but he still wanted to personally ask a woman to speak to him.

In normal times, any random girl would obediently welcome him without waiting for him to make any gesture.

However, it was clear that she was the biggest exception.

"I, I think we don't know each other yet, so …" Zuo Zixian tried to explain his silence, but was interrupted by Ling Yiheng impatiently.

"Don't say such polite words to me." He hid the mysterious light from his eyes, his face expressionless. However, Zuo Zizhen could still feel the cold aura emitting from his body, which clearly showed that he was unhappy.

She felt a little powerless, but she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Since she was unhappy with her, why must they meet?

However, she was not stupid enough to let him know what she was thinking. Otherwise, the atmosphere would only become more awkward.

"So what do you want me to say?" She was very frank as she met his gaze, but there was a fire in her eyes that refused to admit defeat.

Yes, she wasn't some little sheep. She would really be scared just because of how he was angered. She also had a temper. That wouldn't do, that wouldn't do. Did he think that he was his slave?

Even if it was a trade, she was someone who had her own independent thoughts! On this point, Zuo Zixian would never give in.

Looking at her, Ling Yiheng didn't seem to be affected by her at all. On the contrary, the corner of his mouth twitched up as he chuckled.

Zuo Zizhen was stunned, he didn't know what the meaning of his sudden smile was.

The next moment, he heard his low and deep voice once again, carrying a mellow and deep smile. "It's still a little interesting like this."

Her stubbornness, her lack of slippers, and even the small fire burning in her eyes made him feel incomparably adorable.

Lovely? When this word flashed through Ling Yiheng's mind, even he himself was stunned. He had never felt this way about any woman before. He even felt that women in high society were just vases of vanity, but the Left Sage had given him a completely different experience.

Zuo Zixian felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, as if it was devouring her entire body.

What did this man mean? Why did she always have a bad premonition?

Perhaps other people would hope to gain his favor, but after seeing this man's methods, Zuo Zixian could only hope to distance himself from him, and it would be better to stay as far away from him as possible. But the more strongly she thought about it, the harder it seemed to him.

Imperceptibly, it seemed as if there was an incomparably firm thread. Although it could not be seen, it used a very strong force to pull the two of them together. Once they began to intersect, they would tightly wrap around each other and would no longer be able to be ignored.

Just as Zuo Zixian was feeling awkward and apprehensive, a waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the meal. This episode eased her anxious mood and helped to lighten the strange atmosphere between the two.

Even so, she could clearly see the faint smile in the man's eyes. It was not an ordinary smile, but a smile filled with too much meaning that she could not fathom.
