"Here." The man handed her the phone, which was still turned off, and Chen Zhi's heart sank.
She hadn't returned all night, Si Ye's calls couldn't get through to her, and now the misunderstanding had escalated. She didn't know how he would deal with her when she got back.
Although she was very worried inside, Chen Zhi did not show it, maintaining an appearance as if nothing was wrong.
"Yichen, thank you for saving me." She spoke sincerely, her eyes full of gratitude, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."
"Xiaozhi!" An Yichen cut her off, a flash of guilt passing through his eyes, "Don't say that, if it weren't because of me..."
He stopped mid-sentence, leaving Chen Zhi somewhat baffled.
Meeting Chen Zhi's clear eyes, An Yichen knew he had to tell her the truth. Even if she would blame him, hate him, he couldn't deceive her.
"Xiaozhi, actually, the matter of your kidnapping... it was done by my mother."
