The autumn rain finally stopped at five o'clock. Yellow leaves were scattered everywhere in the courtyard, and wet leaves could be seen everywhere.

As dusk fell, Aunt Xu, who had been busy all afternoon, finally prepared dinner on time.

Aunt Xu wiped her hands on her apron and was about to go upstairs to call someone, when Wen Zhi helped her down the stairs.

Aunt Xu then said, "Ms. Wen, dinner has been prepared and Mr. Nian is still in the study. Is it convenient for you to call Mr. Nian?"

Wen Zhi responded without hesitation: "It's convenient, I'll call him right away."

She turned back upstairs.

A few minutes later, she was standing outside the door to the shared study room upstairs.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Nian Xun's voice came from the room, and Wen Zhi got permission before pushing the door open and entering.

Nian Xun didn't like dim light, so the entire study was particularly well lit.

Wen Zhi looked up and saw a high-backed chair under the stacks of bookshelves. Nian Xun was sitting on the chair reading books. Behind him were dark green flannel curtains, which contrasted with the dark red carpet under his feet.

"Your good friend is gone?" Nian Xun turned the page and looked up at the door. Wen Zhi was the only one in sight. He looked back and asked casually.

Wen Zhi walked in, and the sound-absorbing carpet largely muffled the sound of her footsteps: "Meng Fan said she was going back to Baishi tonight, so she could only come to accompany me next time."

Nian Xun turned another page and tilted his head slightly: "Aren't we very close? I only see you once in a while, so why not stay with you for a few days this time."

This sounds very impersonal.

But it is also in line with Nian Xun's temperament.

Wen Zhi roughly knew Nian Xun's situation. He had only a few relatives and few friends. Apart from discussing business or attending various meetings, he kept to himself most of the time.

She deliberately retorted: "It doesn't mean that we have to change the original schedule for me because we rarely meet. There will be many opportunities to meet me next time."

"Are you unhappy again?" Nian Xun raised his eyes again and looked at Wen Zhi, who was standing not far away.

Wen Zhi stood there with a sullen face, neither advancing nor retreating.

Nian Xun said: "If it makes you unhappy, you don't need to take it too seriously. That's what I said."

He was not as cold as usual, which surprised Wen Zhi.

Look, there is still a smile on his brows and eyes, which is very different from his usual mean side. His whole person looks gentle. Wen Zhi thought to himself, this guy actually knows how to speak well.

She accepted Nian Xun's kindness and said, "I'm here to ask you to come down for dinner."

Nian Xun was stunned for a moment, then curved the corners of his lips.

With a 'pop' sound, he closed the thick book, stood up, put it back on the bookshelf, and then walked towards Wen Zhi.

"Let's go," he said.

Wen Zhi could have gone out first and walked in front of him, but now he took a step slower and deliberately followed him.

Neither of them said a word on the way downstairs. After sitting down at the dining table, Nian Xun glanced and saw Wen Zhi taking out a bottle of wine from somewhere.

Nian Xun raised his eyebrows: "Where did it come from?"

Wen Zhi pretended to be calm: "Call and order from outside."

Nian Xun's eyes fell on the label on the bottle: "In the Golden Age of Remy Martin, you can order this wine, and it will cost you a fortune."

Wen Zhi: "It didn't cost anything, anyway..."

Nian Xun looked at her: "Charge it to my account?"

Wen Zhi did not continue, she came over to pour wine for Nian Xun with a sneer. The wine was rich in color and the aroma... wasn't that strong. Nian Xun sniffed the strange wine aroma and frowned.

He had seen countless good wines, so he recognized the bottle of wine Wen Zhi took out tonight at a glance as Remy Martin's Golden Age, which was on one of the brandy lists.

Although it smelled strange, in order to save Wen Zhi's face, he still took it and took a sip. When the spicy taste penetrated deep into his throat, Nian Xun's frown deepened, his expression not very good.

Wen Zhi bent down and asked, "How does it taste?"

Nian Xun: "It's not very good, it looks like fake wine."

"..." It's not like that! It is.

Wen Zhi's eyes averted, and Nian Xun suddenly turned his head to look at her: "Did you put something you shouldn't have put?"

"No, no, absolutely not." Wen Zhi quickly denied.

Nian Xun didn't think Wen Zhi would put anything in it, but what he was more afraid of than Wen Zhi putting something in it happened.

Wen Zhi sat back across from her and poured herself a glass. She grinned and said, "The sixty yuan is well spent."

With a 'clang' sound, the wine glass was thrown back to the table.

Wen Zhi was startled and almost spilled the glass of wine in his hand.

She calmed down, and when she looked over again, she found that Nian Xun's expression had changed.

"Sixty?" Nian Xun seemed unsure.

Wen Zhi nodded.

Nian Xun was still not convinced, pointing to the bottle of wine: "Sixty yuan?"

Wen Zhi swallowed nervously: "Yes, I don't have any extra money, so I can treat you to a drink worth 60 yuan, which is already very interesting."

Ha, interesting enough!

Nian Xun: "Who sent it?"

Wen Zhi: “Takeaway.”

"..."

The atmosphere was silent for more than a minute.

While Nian Xun was angry, he was also puzzled by Wen Zhi's behavior: "Then why did you choose a bottle packaged like Remy Martin?"

The explanation given by Wen Zhi was very legitimate: "Because I read in the introduction that the packaging of this wine is valuable, and it would be more honorable to give it to relatives as a treat."

"..."

The total cost is sixty yuan. This wine bottle is more expensive because of the packaging. How much is the wine inside worth?

Five dollars? Ten dollars?

Nian Xun thought back on his life. Even when he was most frustrated, he had never drank less than 1,000 yuan.

"Wen Zhi, you are really good at it."

After saying that, Nian Xun quickly took the cup of warm water and rinsed his mouth.

Wen Zhi folded her hands on the dining table, leaned forward, and said with a naive smile: "It's not because I don't have the money to buy the best wine to treat you to a drink, so look, can you..."      No! "Wen Zhi was interrupted by Nian Xun in the middle of his sentence: "Just give up on this idea, I won't lend you money."

Wen Zhi immediately said: "I don't want to borrow from you, I want to ask you for money."

"..."

The answer "I want money" was obviously more unexpected than Nian Xun.

After all, before this, he had never seen anyone dare to ask for money from him so blatantly.

Now that we have reached the key point, Wen Zhi said everything he wanted to say tonight: "It's like this. You have to bring money with you when you go out. Otherwise it will be inconvenient. And when people ask me who my parents are, I If I tell you your name, it will bring shame on you."

Nian Xun caught the key word in this sentence: "Going out?"

Wen Zhi nodded wildly like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah, yeah."

Nian Xun said coldly: "When did I allow you to go out?"

Wen Zhi planned to negotiate with Nian Xun this time: "I already said during the day that I wanted to go to Pear City. Originally, I could have thought of various ways to sneak away, but I thought about it carefully. In addition to your desire to control me, Apart from being relatively strong, he treats me very well in other things, so I can't do anything to disappoint you too much."

Nian Xun: "If you insist on going, I won't be disappointed?"

Wen Zhi: "Please don't be disappointed."

"..."

Nian Xun finally understood what Wen Zhi meant: "So no matter what, you must go to Licheng this time?"

Wen Zhi nodded immediately: "Well, I promised Shang Hexing, I must go."

Nian Xun suddenly lost his appetite for food, and his expression was not very good: "I won't let you go, just give up on this."

Wen Zhi guessed the result, she lowered her head and sighed softly.

Nian Xun felt uncomfortable looking at her appearance. After being in a stalemate for a long time, he relaxed slightly and said, "How many days are you going to go?"

Wen Zhi suddenly raised his head: "Ten days."

"Impossible!" Nian Xun heard Wen Zhi say ten days and rejected it directly.

Wen Zhi raised his hand to make digital gestures: "What about eight days?"

Nian Xun looked depressed: "Three days."

Wen Zhi stood up suddenly: "Do you agree with me to go to Licheng?"

Nian Xun: "..."

Three days after that sentence was blurted out, it undoubtedly showed the change in Nian Xun's attitude.

But Nian Xun himself didn't realize this, but it was too late for him to regret it. The words he said were like water thrown out, and it was difficult to recover after it was overturned.

A happy smile appeared on Wen Zhi's face: "I knew you would agree, but it will only take three days..."

She wanted to say that three days was too short.

As a result, Nian Xun warned her: "Don't push yourself too far. Three days is my final limit. I will see you in front of me in three days."

Wen Zhi didn't dare to bargain any more.

But for her, as long as Nian Xun lets go and agrees, she can go to Licheng with peace of mind, just three days.

Wen Zhi had just sat down in a good mood, but Nian Xun stood up. Wen Zhi was startled. Seeing him leaving the dining table, she asked anxiously: "Where are you going? Are you not having dinner?"

"Sixty-yuan wine ruined my mood and I lost my appetite." Nian Xun turned around and stared at her, "In the future, please be more generous to me. A sixty-yuan wine is really something you can't handle."

Wen Zhi said in a low voice, "I don't have any money, so I can treat you to a drink worth sixty yuan, which is already very generous."

"okay."

Nian Xun had a serious face: "I will have someone send you cash later. If you need a car, just communicate with him yourself."

After saying these words, Nian Xun left Feng Huiyuan with a long stride, and he drove away in person.

Aunt Xu stood at the door and watched. After the car drove away, she came in and said, "The food is already on the table. Why is Mr. Nian still leaving? It won't take more than a few minutes to eat."

Wen Zhishi chewed the rice without knowing the taste: "Maybe it's because seeing me makes you lose your appetite."

Aunt Xu was stunned and said quickly: "Miss Wen, don't think like that, it has nothing to do with you."

Wen Zhi said nothing and ate in silence.

Near eight o'clock in the evening, another car came to Fenghuayuan. Aunt Xu went to the door and took a look, then led the man to see Wen Zhi.

"Good evening, Miss Wen." The man greeted Wen Zhi with a smile.

Wen Zhi, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and said, "Hello."

Wen Zhi recognized the man who came. He was one of the subordinates who often followed Nian Xun.

After greeting politely, the man opened the bag hanging on his body, then took out a package of things wrapped in brown paper, and handed it to Wen Zhi: "This is the 200,000 in cash that Mr. Nian prepared for you."

Wen Zhi was dumbfounded.

The man took out another smart watch with an unknown brand. He gestured to Wen Zhi to reach out and put it on Wen Zhi thoughtfully: "Mr. Nian was afraid that you would lose it when you went out, so he prepared a watch for you. In addition, Mr. Nian also opened it for you. Five hundred thousand is paid in person, so you can pay at any time when you are away. Other contact information has also been set up, so don’t worry, Miss Wen."

Wen Zhi's mouth opened, and his dumbfounded expression turned into astonishment.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first. In addition, Miss Wen should pay attention to safety when she goes out."

After the man finished what the boss told him, he turned around and left.

Aunt Xu hurriedly sent her off.

Wen Zhi was the only one left, dumbfounded.

Nian Xun gave her so much money.

He also considered everything for her and made thorough preparations.

Is this still the cold and inhumane Nian Xun?

Wen Zhi tried out the watch. After trying it on, she wanted to call Nian Xun to say thank you. But before she could say anything, she heard Nian Xun say, "Sleep."

Then he hung up Wen Zhi's phone coldly.

Wen Zhi: "..." Then come back and say thank you.

At ten o'clock in the evening, another car came to Feng Huiyuan, this time it was Meng Fan.

It's time to leave.

Wen Zhi brought no other luggage, only a backpack, which was filled with cash.
