When a cold gaze was cast at him, Assistant Zhang couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
Assistant Zhang made a prompt decision and immediately shook his head: "Miss Qin, I'm so sorry, I'm allergic to desserts."
Fei Wan withdrew his hand regretfully and let out a soft "ah".
"That's a shame. I don't know what to do with it."
Looking at the interaction between the two, especially the girl's deliberate actions, Shen Zhi's eyes flashed with helplessness, but the corners of his lips unconsciously rose slightly.
"I can help you with it reluctantly."
Seeing the girl's smile, he softened and paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Like I said at the beginning, everything you do is really good."
This is not only a recognition of her cooking skills, but also a softening of her attitude.
Fei Wan discovered that Chen Zhi was not as cold to her as before. You know, at the beginning, Chen Zhi understood her behavior as "bribery" and rejected it indifferently.
But it seems... now I have really been "bribed" by her.
When he saw her recently, although he tried to maintain his usual cold style, Fei Wan saw him smile several times.
When I met her, I felt completely relaxed, not like before, tense as a string, busy with work and always alert to everything around me.
Although he still looked tired, he did not appear gloomy in front of her.
Even though Fei Wan knew that Chen Zhi's condition was much more stable than before, the abnormal behavior in the past few days still made him keenly aware that Chen Zhi was not focused on work this time.
This reminded Fei Wan of the not-so-good ending of Chen Zhi in the original plot.
Fei Wan put down the pudding, but couldn't help but care:
"Chen Zhi, what have you been busy with recently? Can you tell me?"
Shen Zhi's eyes darkened, but he didn't answer immediately.
Assistant Zhang, who knew the inside story, became nervous. He finally saw Mr. Shen relax in front of Miss Qin, but now Miss Qin stepped on the minefield again.
Assistant Zhang said nervously:
"Mr. Shen, I suddenly remembered something. I need to go and discuss the contingency plan I just submitted with them."
Shen Zhi raised his eyes to look at him, then nodded.
Seeing Assistant Zhang leave and change the subject, Fei Wan immediately understood.
It seems that Shen Zhi doesn't like others to explore this aspect of his affairs. For outsiders, this is something that cannot be mentioned.
For her, it is no exception.
Although he felt a little disappointed, Fei Wan quickly responded.
"It's okay if it doesn't work. It must be something very important, for you to care so much about it. But..."
Fei Wan looked at Chen Zhi seriously, with a hint of smile in his eyes, but it did not seem frivolous, but rather a little sincere.
She called his name softly: "Chen Zhi."
"Whatever it is, I believe you can solve it."
"Just know that I will always be by your side. No matter how worried you are, everything will eventually be resolved."
"I won't leave you this time. It's not just an agreement, it's more of my heart."
The girl's gentle voice rang in his ears, and the girl's figure was clearly reflected in Shen Zhi's eyes. Seeing her gentle smile, Shen Zhi was distracted for a moment.
This was the first time in so many years that someone like him had made such a commitment to him.
A girl who is hard to guess, but often brings him many surprises and...even he himself trusts her unconsciously.
I didn't feel the annoyance I had felt when asked about this in the past, but rather felt relieved to hear her words.
Shen Zhi's frown relaxed and he raised his head:
"I find... you have indeed changed my mind a lot."
But Fei Wan could see that this sentence meant that Chen Zhi had completely abandoned his previous prejudice against her.
Fei Wan smiled and stretched out her hand.
"I'll never break my promise. If I promise to cure you, I'll definitely do it."
Chen Zhi was slightly stunned. In the past, he would have thought this behavior was childish, naive and ridiculous.
But coming from her mouth, it has a certain persuasiveness.
He reached out his hand and gently hooked his little finger with hers.
Even though he realized how childish this action was, he felt the girl's delicate fingers rubbing against his, bringing a hint of warmth.
This warmth gathered from his fingertips to his heart. Chen Zhi gently curled his lips, his delicate eyebrows relaxed, and the thin layer of shadow in his eyes was replaced by the sparkling starlight.
"Do you know what the price is for making such a promise to me?"
