"I texted her, and she said she doesn't need my company tonight."
Shen Zhichu couldn't fathom how a man like Li Jingshen could be so straightforward. She replied earnestly, "Sometimes when a woman says 'no,' she actually means 'yes.' Understand?"
"Is that the case with you too?" Li Jingshen asked, his eyes suddenly turning deep and serious as he leaned towards Shen Zhichu, seemingly waiting for her response.
Shen Zhichu simply shook her head, "No, I genuinely don't need you."
Her tone was indifferent, as if discussing the day's weather or what they had for lunch, without a trace of emotion. This irritated Li Jingshen, his brows furrowing.
Shen Zhichu put down her phone, "I'll cook."
Despite her injuries, Li Jingshen still carried her downstairs as navigating the stairs was difficult.
Feeling irritable, Shen Zhichu thought it was obvious Li Jingshen was deliberately making things difficult for her by insisting she cook with her hands and knees injured.
