A Freak Combination of Factors

However, from another perspective, Chen Zhen's actions were not completely useless. The spring rain's nourishment came down in a silent and delicate manner. In the past year that Wen Xi and Chen Ze had lived together, her influence on him was the same.

However, her silent efforts had become a new habit for him, but he did not know about it. Or rather, he did not know about it at the moment. By the time he realized these changes and habits had been formed, she had already left his life.

It was just like this between them. They didn't meet at the right time, nor did they meet in the right state of mind and mood, so they were destined to never be together.

Chen Ze thought that he had guessed Wen Xi's thoughts correctly, making the frustration in his heart rise again. He rubbed the pen in his hand, feeling helpless and annoyed. Due to the reasons described above, he did not want to have too much involvement with the Wen family!

In his mind, he always felt that his marriage with Wen Xi would end sooner or later. It would be stupid to put in more energy and time after knowing the outcome of this incident!

Hence, in his heart, he saw that there was no benefit in dealing with the Wen family and that it was even a waste of time.

He had used his busy work as an excuse to reject her suggestions and requests many times, but he had never seen her react so strongly like this before. It was as if she was really angry!

As Chen Ze thought about it, he came up with such a conclusion. When he finally realized what he was doing, he was already frowning slightly. Why did he care so much about Wen Xi's condition today? She just seemed a little too willful and insensible this time.

She shouldn't have brought family matters into work. She was too much!

Chen Ze, who had come to this conclusion, frowned indifferently and glanced at her. However, Wen Xi did not notice him at all. She was only holding the pen in her hand and thinking about something absent-mindedly.

Wen Xi did not care much about Chen Ze, so she also missed the look that he had cast over.

If she were to know what he was thinking in his heart, she would probably roll her eyes in disbelief. His self-confidence could sometimes make one speechless! This self-righteous and arrogant man did not know at this moment that he had completely taken the wrong step because he had guessed in the wrong direction.

At 9:10 am, Renxin Hospital's Monday regular meeting for the Cardiovascular Surgery Department finally ended. Wen Xi held the notebook in her hand and followed the large group out of the Conference Room. When she walked to the trash can at the door of the room, she wanted to throw the notebook in her hand away, but she paused.

It was not a pity to lose the book, but she realized that it would cause some unnecessary trouble for herself if someone else had picked it up. Fortunately, someone called out to her, which helped her ease the embarrassment.

Unable to stop Wen Xi in front of Si Xing, Chen Ze's mouth was slightly agape as he watched her being called away by the director. He recalled her raising her hand as if she was about to throw away the notebook she had, and he could not help but feel a little more confused.

He knew that the notebook was often used by her, but he couldn't think of any reason that would make her want to throw it away. Even if the notebook had been used up, with her meticulous and thoughtful personality, she wouldn't throw it away, right?

Wen Xi was really strange today!

Chen Ze's brows furrowed as he thought about these trivial things. Then, he gripped the book and mobile phone in his hand as he turned to leave. Although he did have something to tell Wen Xi, she had already been called by the director first. He could only put it aside for the time being and wait until they had time to discuss it.

He, Director Chen, was a busy man. How could he waste his time waiting for a small resident doctor? That was impossible.

On the other hand, Wen Xi did not know about Chen Ze's thoughts. She was directly pulled into the Dean's Office by her subject mentor, Si Xing. On the way there, she was forced to listen to his nagging.

In addition to scolding Wen Xi for not paying attention to the thesis topic recently, Si Xing even commented on her behavior of being late to the meeting. After criticizing her, he praised his disciple's ability to control people's words toward her!
