Because of Ling Yiheng, Zuo Zixian ate like chewing wax during this meal. Especially since she could always feel Ling Yiheng's gaze occasionally land on her head.

She also knew in her heart that at a time like this, when she was so focused on eating with her head lowered, she didn't even look up at him, nor did she say a word that wasn't polite or right. However, she really didn't want to speak, and with the addition of what he had said, she was even more at a loss as to what to say.

If he was careless and said something wrong, it would be troublesome. It wasn't that they were truly afraid of him, but that they didn't want to always confront him head-on, so they would be tired.

But if he wanted her to compromise completely and become his captive, Zuo Zixian would not be willing.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zixian felt his stomach constrict. In fact, ever since she made that deal with Ling Yiheng, she had been regretting it almost every single day. Why would she impulsively propose the foolish condition of giving herself to him? Actually, there was still another way, but she chose the one that felt the most sorry for her.

So she tried her best to avoid meeting him, but reality was too cruel to her, always involving her and him.

Facing this Ling Yiheng in front of her, she felt both apprehensive and anxious. However, this was all based on the premise that he was able to control the Dix Restaurant to stay behind. Most of her were stubborn and resistant to him. This conflicting emotions also made her at a loss on what to do, making it even more impossible for her to face him.

"If you don't want to eat it, then don't." Looking at the painful expression on Zuo Zixian's face, Ling Yiheng said solemnly.

He had never been so frustrated before, and it was because of a woman.

Which woman wasn't flattered to eat with him? Why did she put on such a pained expression? She didn't even try to cover it up, which made him feel really depressed.

In order to avoid him going on a rampage, Ling Yiheng directly called the waiter to pay the bill.

Just as he was about to use his card to swipe the waiter's card, he was stopped by Zuo Ziqian.

Although she didn't know why he suddenly wanted to pay the bill, she didn't forget the original intention of the meal.

She took out a card from her bag and politely handed it to the waiter. In fluent English, she said, "Thank you."

He then looked at Ling Yiheng and said with a serious expression, "I said I'm the one treating, there's no reason for you to pay."

Moreover, she didn't say that she didn't want to eat it. She really didn't know what this man was thinking.

"Heh, you are indeed very clear about this." He suddenly approached her, staring at her with a sinister gaze that made Zuo Zixian feel uncomfortable all over.

It was clearly a handsome face, but her deep eyes were as sharp as a falcon's, making her want to dodge it.

"I …" She had just spoken one word when she was cut off by a man.

"No need to say anymore. Don't force yourself when you don't want to eat with me." Ling Yiheng knew that his tone was not good, but he was truly angered by her.

In fact, he had always been a well-trained person, but he found it funny time and time again because of the woman in front of him.

After saying that, he suddenly stood up from his seat and walked out of the room without looking back, as if he was ignoring her.

Zuo Ziwen's face paled a little, and after thinking for a moment, he still ran to chase after her, and it seemed that he was truly angry.

He didn't know why but he always pretended that she owed him a lot. Yes, she did owe him a lot, whether it was money or favors. However, it didn't seem to be her intention.

Why was she blamed for all of this?

Ling Yiheng didn't bother about her. When he got into his car at the door, he let her in, but his expression was even colder than before.

Zuo Zixian didn't want to get into his car and wanted to say that he could take a ride back. However, looking at his gloomy expression, he still didn't want to make him more angry, so he had no choice but to get in the car.

While they were in the car, the man didn't say a word, making the atmosphere inside quiet and awkward, as if even the temperature had dropped by a few degrees.

After much difficulty, the car finally arrived at the hospital where Zuo Zixian's father was. Only then did she break the silence.

However, it was not a farewell.

"Ling …" Are you angry with me? " She originally wanted to call him 'Mister Ling', but remembering that he didn't want her to call him that before, she withdrew it. However, she was unable to call him by his name.

In fact, she really didn't want their relationship to become so complicated, and she didn't want him to get angry.

It would be better if he could recognize the fact that it was only a deal between them, and that would make it easier for anyone. After all, just for the sake of external value, there was no need to pay too much.

Facing her question, Ling Yiheng didn't answer for a long time.

The simple and honest American driver did not know what had happened, but he was scared stiff by the ice-cold look on Ling Yiheng's face.
