The assistant returned within two minutes, bringing a glass of warm water and a jar that appeared to contain honey.

The assistant said softly, "Autumn is quite dry now, so I also prepared some honey. Making some honey water can soothe the throat."

"Thank you, but warm water will be fine with me." Wan Ge picked up the cup.

"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer. If you have any questions, you can find me in the office to the left of the door. You can also call me if you want to tour the company." The assistant had actually noticed that Wan Ge didn't really want to socialize and didn't like having company, so she took the initiative to speak and leave.

Wan Ge nodded again, then watched her assistant leave.

Wan Ge picked up the picture book in front of her. In addition to the picture book, there were also some descriptions of techniques for traditional Chinese painting.

I have indeed been reading this book recently, and I am definitely interested in it.

…

Wan Ge was so engrossed in her reading that she didn't even notice when Qian Zhi returned to his office after his meeting. It wasn't until Qian Zhi reached out and hugged her that she was startled. Turning to look at Qian Zhi beside her, she softly asked, "You're done with your meeting?"

"Hmm." Qian Zhi's gaze fell on the book: "Is it that good? You seem really interested in it. I know a few teachers who are very good at traditional Chinese painting. Should I ask them for help?"

Wan Ge quickly shook her head: "I'm just browsing casually out of boredom, no need to take it so seriously. I just want to learn a little bit from the book."

She already had a foundation in traditional Chinese painting and possessed exceptional skills in other painting techniques. Reading books to grasp the essence of the art and then putting it into practice was not a difficult task for her.

"Alright then." Qian Zhi's tone seemed to carry a hint of regret. He reached out and patted her head: "You can tell me if there's anything you want to do or anything you need."

Wan Ge nodded obediently again.

Qianzhi kissed her forehead and then said, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat. I heard there's a really good restaurant nearby, but I haven't been there yet."

Actually, he had specifically asked his assistant about it. Since his wife had come all this way, he naturally wouldn't just sit in the office with her and have a meal like that.

Three months into their marriage, aside from the banquet and their first blind date, they haven't yet tried to have a proper meal at a restaurant.

Although Qianzhi really wanted to hide his wife and not let anyone see her, now that she was here and had appeared in front of him, he couldn't do that, otherwise he would definitely scare his dear wife.

All he can do now is take his wife out to dinner and show off to everyone that he has a wife.

Wan Ge glanced at her watch and realized it was almost one o'clock again. Qian Zhi had been in a meeting for a very long time, it had already gone on until noon.

"Did I disturb your work?" Wan Ge frowned slightly. If she had known that, she should have stayed home and waited for him to come home before asking.

"How could that be? You would never bother me, no matter what I'm doing." The moment Qian Zhi looked at her, Wan Ge suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, seeing that expression in Qian Zhi's eyes for the first time.

His affection for her seemed to be conveyed through his eyes; there was no need for him to say it aloud, just by looking into his eyes, one could understand that he loved her passionately and deeply.

Perhaps it was Wan Ge's reaction that made Qian Zhi realize that his gaze had been a bit too direct, so he cleared his throat and turned around.
