Chapter 097'are you worried about me? '?

The cold and forceful tone of the order seemed to go deep into her bones.

She could not help but shiver.

That night, they returned to the Sun House. After that, Jin Di stopped speaking to her. At night, when she slept, she did not sleep well. She dreamt of many, many things from her past.

In one dream, she was standing on the edge of a cliff with Chen Ziyi. Chen Ziyi smiled and pushed her from behind. He smiled sinisterly.

"Zuo Aiai, you deserve it. You promised to give me a life with you. Have you forgotten?"

She heard the cold wind whistling in her ears. She kept falling, but there was no fear in her heart.

She closed her eyes obediently. Suddenly, she felt herself stop, and a pair of arms hugged her.

She opened her eyes and saw a man looking down at her, smiling coldly.

"You want to die? You think it's that easy? Don't forget that even your life is mine now. You have to continue living for my sake, even if it's worse than death."

She did not struggle, just watched as the handsome man's back grew a pair of wings...

Then she flew in his arms all the way up to the clouds...she bent over to look at the whole world beneath her, laid out like a beautiful painting.

And yet, before she could quite take it all in...

All of a sudden, the man holding her slowly let go...

She watched herself fall from the clouds.

The real fear, the real pain that she felt...

Dragged her back into consciousness.

It was still early, and the sky was just beginning to brighten. She lay in a cold sweat under the velvet quilt.

She took two deep breaths, lifted the quilt and walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

That dream combined with the day she'd had yesterday had forced her to wake up from her dreamy, beautiful fantasy world.

In this society, in this world, one couldn't depend on a man—only on oneself.

Even with Jin Di, who had been good to her in so many ways, as long as his temper continued to fluctuate so wildly...

The only one who would keep getting hurt would be her.

Fortunately, she hadn't quite fallen into the trap yet. It still wasn't too late to withdraw.

After showering, she changed her clothes. When she went downstairs to eat, Jin Di still hadn't gone to work. He was sitting at the head of the dining room table drinking coffee with a copy of the Global Financial News in hand.

She walked to her seat and sat down. The servant quickly brought her a hot breakfast.

She lowered her head and ate obediently.

She had already decided to drop out of school, but she still had to prepare for the art exhibition over the next few days. In addition to this, she also planned to start looking for a job today.

Therefore, her schedule was full. After she finished eating, she immediately wiped her mouth and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Jin Di's indifferent voice interrupted her.

She obediently sat back down. "To school. The art exhibition is starting soon, I need to prepare for it."

"At one o'clock in the afternoon, I'll pick you up from school."

She frowned. "What's the matter?"

At the sound of her voice, he made a face. He put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at her.

"Why can't you leave at one o'clock? Won't you be finished by then?"

His tone made him sound like he was throwing a tantrum. She relaxed her eyebrows and her tone softened.

"Of course. It's just that there was such a big scene on campus yesterday. If you go there again today, all the attention might be very troublesome for you...don't you hate being surrounded by people? I'm just afraid that you...won't be used to it..."

"Are you worried about me?" She thought she detected the trace of a smile in his voice, but his expression was still indifferent.

She didn't say anything about it, which was a tacit agreement between them.
