Amid the bustling city, the upscale cafe seemed like an oasis of tranquility. Sunlight streamed through the large glass windows onto the wooden floor, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Jiang Zhi sat quietly by the window, her eyes revealing a hint of fatigue and determination. Her long hair draped casually over her shoulders, and her slightly furrowed brow betrayed the heaviness of her heart.
Chen Qingchen, dressed in a neat suit, walked into the cafe with a confident stride. His appearance instantly captured the attention of everyone in the cafe, not only because of his handsome and charming appearance, but also because of the innate temperament he exuded. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a faint smile, which made people want to get closer.
Shen Qingchen's gaze swept across the cafe, finally landing on Jiang Zhi. At that moment, he felt as if struck by a mysterious light, and an inexplicable throbbing surged in his heart. He saw the determination and sadness in Jiang Zhi's eyes, a unique temperament that moved him deeply. He involuntarily walked towards Jiang Zhi and politely asked if he could sit across from her. Jiang Zhi nodded slightly without saying anything.
After sitting down, Shen Qingchen carefully looked at Jiang Zhi. Her beauty was not only in her appearance, but also in her unique temperament. Her eyes revealed a determination and persistence that made people want to know her story. Shen Qingchen began to find topics to chat with Jiang Zhi, trying to understand this mysterious woman.
"Hello, my name is Shen Qingchen. Nice to meet you." Shen Qingchen said with a smile.
Jiang Zhi glanced at him and replied calmly, "Hello, I'm Jiang Zhi."
Shen Qingchen was not discouraged by Jiang Zhi's indifference, but became more curious. He continued to ask: "Do you come here often?"
Jiang Zhi shook his head and said, "No, I just pass by occasionally and come in to rest."
Shen Qingchen nodded and said, "The environment of this cafe is very good, very suitable for relaxing. Do you work nearby?"
Jiang Zhi shook his head again and said, "No, I'm just doing some work nearby."
Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi, his heart full of doubts. He felt that this woman was full of mystery, which made people want to explore. He continued to ask: "You look very tired, is there something on your mind?"
Jiang Zhi's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said, "Nothing, I'm just a little busy lately."
Shen Qingchen saw that Jiang Zhi didn't want to talk more, so he didn't ask any more questions. He started chatting about some light topics, trying to lighten the atmosphere. He talked about an interesting book he had read recently and shared some of his own thoughts. Although Jiang Zhi only responded briefly, Shen Qingchen could feel that she was listening carefully.
As their conversation deepened, Shen Qingchen increasingly felt that Jiang Zhi possessed a unique charm. He admired her wisdom and calmness. He found Jiang Zhi not easily impressed, but he was drawn to her strength and perseverance. He wanted to know more about her story and delve into her inner world.
However, Jiang Zhi's heart was still obsessed with revenge for Tang Junxi. She didn't want her feelings to become an obstacle to revenge, nor did she want anyone to get involved in her troubles. She only responded to Shen Qingchen's chat out of politeness and didn't really put in any effort.
Shen Qingchen sensed Jiang Zhi's indifference, but he didn't give up. He felt that Jiang Zhi was a woman worth pursuing, and he believed that his sincerity would surely impress her. He began to work harder to find topics to talk about, trying to cheer Jiang Zhi up. He talked about some of his own interesting stories and shared some of his dreams. Although Jiang Zhi didn't show much interest, Shen Qingchen could feel her heart gradually softening.
Time passed unknowingly, and Shen Qingchen and Jiang Zhi sat in the cafe for a long time. Finally, Jiang Zhi looked at the time and said, "I should go."
Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi reluctantly and said, "I hope to see you again next time."
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, without saying much, then stood up and left the cafe. Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi's back, his heart filled with loss. He knew he still had a long way to go, but he was determined to make Jiang Zhi fall in love with him.
After leaving the cafe, Shen Qingchen immediately sent someone to investigate Jiang Zhi's identity. He wanted to know everything about this mysterious woman: her past, her dreams, her preferences. He hoped that by understanding Jiang Zhi, he could find the key to open her heart.
Soon, Shen Qingchen obtained detailed information about Jiang Zhi. He learned that Jiang Zhi, the heiress to the Jiang Group, the leading chaebol in Longguo, had suffered a tragic childhood. The daughter of the East Kingdom's leader, she was abducted by Jiang Lingchuan and sent to a rural foster home before being secretly adopted by her grandfather, Jiang Yan. A skilled doctor, intelligent, strong, and kind, she was consumed by pain and anger after Tang Junxi's murder. Knowing her grief, her grandfather, Jiang Yan, granted her four years of rest. Resolutely, Jiang Zhi decided to hide her identity and enter the city, embarking on a difficult journey to uncover clues to Tang Junxi's murder and seek revenge.
Shen Qingchen was shocked and admired Jiang Zhi's experience. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman had such a rough fate and firm belief. He was more determined to pursue Jiang Zhi. He felt that Jiang Zhi was a woman worthy of his love.
Shen Qingchen began to think about how to approach Jiang Zhi and make her feel his sincerity. He decided to start by exploring her interests and hobbies, looking for common topics. He learned that Jiang Zhi enjoyed reading and listening to music, so he began reading books that might interest her and listening to music she enjoyed. He hoped to build a deeper connection with her through these methods.
