Lin Zhi didn't have to work tonight, and she returned to school after her shift.
The school was not far from the Hospital, just half an hour away by bus. As soon as Lin Zhi got off the bus, her cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, who is this?" She answered casually, asking with curiosity.
The person on the other end seemed stunned for a moment, then chuckled deeply, "I guess you must be angry, and that's why you intentionally wanted to break up with me. Considering your tone, you seem quite upset with me."
Lin Zhi quickly glanced at the phone number, damn, it was actually Zhou Yi who had called!
She couldn't recall his number; she had already deleted it.
Lin Zhi rolled her eyes, "Oh, it's Mr. Zhou. Sorry, I've deleted your number. I didn't know it was you calling."
She was telling the truth, but to Zhou Yi, it seemed like an excuse!
He thought she was acting like a petulant little girl. Girls are indeed cute when they're a bit temperamental, but it's not good if the temper is too much.
"You're at the school now, right? I'll be there shortly, wait for me at the entrance. I've been very busy recently, so I've neglected you. Please, allow me to treat you to a meal as an apology," Zhou Yi said in a good-natured tone, as if he was coaxing an unreasonable little girl.
His tone didn't reveal a trace of guilt; he remained composed, even superior.
In this relationship, he saw himself as the absolute controller.
Lin Zhi found it rather amusing inside and was not polite, "Mr. Zhou, as I said, please don't bother me anymore, Do you not remember? I have no relationship with you now, and I don't want to see you, OK?"
Zhou Yi was slightly startled, "Are you very angry?"
Otherwise, why would her tone be so impolite?
"I'm not angry, I'm in a very good mood."
"Behave, stop causing a fuss, I'll be there in a minute."
"Mr. Zhou... Hello? Hello?!" Damn, he actually hung up on her!
Lin Zhi was speechless; could this person be more self-centered? She must have been blind to have fallen for such an arrogant man in the past.
No wonder all she attracted were bad matches; it was because her judgment was flawed.
Lin Zhi still waited for Zhou Yi at the school entrance. This time she wanted to make things crystal clear to him so that he would stop bothering her.
She couldn't keep up with his level of play, nor was she interested in playing his games.
Zhou Yi indeed arrived quickly, driving the same black Mercedes. His car stopped at the school gate, attracting the attention of many students.
Zhou Yi emerged from his car with his usual charming demeanor, smiling as he walked towards Lin Zhi. In the past, Lin Zhi thought his smile was cultured, but now it just seemed fake.
A woman should never underestimate a man's ability to pretend.
Beneath their seemingly beautiful exterior, there might be something disgustingly vile.
"When I passed by a jewelry store, I went in and specially picked this out for you. See if you like it." Approaching her, Zhou Yi took out a jewelry box and opened it immediately.
Inside was a diamond necklace, likely worth tens of thousands.
Lin Zhi glanced at it indifferently, showing no interest whatsoever, "I don't like it. I only like things I buy for myself."
Zhou Yi looked at her in surprise. In his memory, Lin Zhi was a compliant, polite, and gentle girl.
But the one in front of him seemed proud and difficult.
Was this her real side?
Instead, Zhou Yi found her more interesting and felt an even stronger desire to conquer.
"It seems my gift isn't sincere enough. Since you don't like it, let's throw it away."
