Chapter 16: Getting Used to His Ghostly Appearance

Qiao Zhiyi still managed to brush off Wang Shulan with the excuse that Shi Jingzhou was very busy and left hastily after fearing further questions.

Thinking back to what Zhou Zheng had said when she was leaving made her wonder what had happened to Shi Jingzhou that would make Zhou Zheng console her?

She took out her phone and realized she didn't have Shi Jingzhou's number.

A self-mocking smile appeared on her face as she rested her hands on the rail, gazing outside.

Her eyes involuntarily fell on her ring finger, where the initials JZ were especially noticeable in the sunlight. The area around was still slightly swollen and seemed even more irritating to the eye.

She stayed in the hospital until the afternoon before taking a taxi back to Pu Garden.

Upon entering, she saw Shi Jingzhou in his casual home wear, sitting on the sofa on the phone with someone.

Hearing her, he gave her a faint glance and continued his conversation.
