Qu Chaozong hung up the phone, looked at Zhang Xin sitting opposite him, and asked, "What have you been busy with lately? It's been so hard to meet you once."
Qu Chaozong didn't mention that he had looked for Zhang Xin or the harsh words thrown by her father. He just wanted to hear how Zhang Xin planned to bring up the matter to him. In his view, Zhang Xin had been acting strangely recently, likely because her father was putting pressure on her. She was probably worried that Qu Chaozong would be troubled and stressed, so she faced it alone.
Thinking of this made his heart feel like it had been brutally jabbed by something, soft and weak.
Zhang Xin wore a beige trench coat, her long curly hair tied at the back of her head, revealing her pale and lean face and slender slightly leaning neck. She wasn't wearing makeup, showing her bare face, and the eyes originally lined by eyeliner, seductive and mysterious, now appeared clean and clear, making her look considerably younger.
