Shocking! The school heartthrob who was adopted by a wealthy family is actually a heiress!

Chapter 338 is indeed quite presumptuous.
Qin Zhao's expression relaxed a bit, with a faint smile on his face.

"And you?" Shen Yanci asked. "How are you?"

Qin Zhao paused for a second, pursed his lips, tilted his head back, and accidentally rested his head on the back of the chair.

She leaned forward slightly and said in a softer voice, "It's fine, the classes aren't too packed. The ribs are delicious too."

Do you really like eating pork ribs?

"good."

They chatted for a few more minutes.

Qin Zhao asked, "Do you have a lot of work?"

Shen Yanci glanced at the documents laid out in front of him, then looked at his own face: "Do you really want to go for a walk today?"

Qin Zhao cracked his knuckles: "No, not either."

She perked up a bit and said in a relaxed tone, "What I mean is, you should rest early after you finish, don't overwork yourself."

"Okay." Shen Yanci's voice was soft and gentle. "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, the room suddenly fell silent.

Qin Zhao's eyelashes drooped, and the lamplight cast her shadow on the table.

After a long time.

The shadow moved.

She opened the second-to-last locker.

At the very back of the locker was a red silk pouch.

The pouch felt light in my hand and seemed to contain little to no contents.

Only when you press your finger down can you feel the soft, slightly raised contours inside.
-
Am I really... that bad?
-
"If I hadn't... met you... would I......"
-
"You said you were sure you wanted to break up, and you avoided my touch like the plague, becoming colder and colder every day. I foolishly lied to myself, but in the end, you still forced me to break up with you."
-
How can you be happy if you don't get along?
-
"It's perfectly reasonable for you to want him to see you as 'whole' and not 'fixed'."
-
"These reactions may never disappear, but their frequency will gradually decrease."
-
"Zhaozhao, I like you."
-
"It's settled."

Qin Zhao gripped the brocade pouch tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white.

She raised her eyes slightly, and a tear fell on them, instantly leaving a small dark stain that vaguely revealed a slender shape.

Shen Yanci…

When Qin Zhao returned to school the next day, Shen Yanci told her that he had to go on a business trip for a project and would be back the following Monday.

He texted and called her every day, but he never met her.

His reaction was perfectly normal, and his attitude was very good.

In videos, either only a pair of eyes or the right side of the face are visible.

Qin Zhao: "Why do you always turn your face to the side?"

Shen Yanci raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "I feel this side of my face looks better."

"..."

Qin Zhao: "When did you start paying so much attention to these things?"

Shen Yanci: "I've always been very conscious of my image in front of you."

Qin Zhao blinked.

He glanced at her, his eyes dark: "What do you think is attractive about me? I can show you."

Qin Zhao: "..."

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids slightly, his voice low and magnetic: "Shall we have dinner together tomorrow?"

Qin Zhao curled his fingers slightly and hummed in agreement.
-
Shen Yanci looked in the mirror. The wound on her face had faded very much. You couldn't tell she was injured unless you looked closely.

He glanced at Secretary Gao: "Can you tell there's an injury?"

"You shouldn't be able to tell. If you're still worried, you can try using concealer."

"Concealer?"

"Yes, concealer can cover up blemishes. Girls often use it to cover up acne scars, dark circles, and so on."

"You know so much about this?"

Secretary Gao adjusted his glasses: "My ex-girlfriend used to use it all the time."

Shen Yanci wasn't a gossipy person, but this time he inexplicably asked, "Why did you break up?"

Secretary Gao's smile held an air of misery: "She felt I was too busy with work and didn't have time for her. After returning from a business trip, she broke up with me."

"..."

Shen Yanci: "I'm sorry."

“It’s okay, it’s been a long time.” Shen Yanci was silent for half a second: “Cancel any work that can be canceled. I have personal time after four o’clock today. Also, buy the concealer you mentioned and deliver it to Tianxi.”

"..."

Secretary Gao: "Do you need me to find you a makeup artist?"

"can."

Secretary Gao was very efficient; forty minutes later, she arrived with a makeup artist.

His injury had almost healed, so the makeup artist mixed a color that was very close to his skin tone.

Shen Yanci: "Secretary Gao."

Secretary Gao immediately understood what he meant: "You can't tell at all."

The makeup artist, an elegant gentleman, said, "Don't worry, I've used the lightest concealer available, so it's guaranteed to be undetectable."

Shen Yanci: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's no trouble at all. Please have Secretary Gao contact me if you need anything else."

After seeing the makeup artist off, Secretary Gao returned to find Shen Yanci sitting at his desk, seemingly deep in thought.

He knocked on the door.

Shen Yanci closed his eyelids and said, "Come in."

Secretary Gao: "President Yanci, the marketing department meeting has been rescheduled to 3 PM tomorrow. All the documents and work that needed to be done today have been completed, so the rest of the time is your personal time. Would you like me to arrange a car and driver for you?"

"Need not."

"Ok."

Shen Yanci tapped his fingertips absently, with a book about intimate relationships pressed beneath his hand.

Her lips were pursed, and her expression inexplicably seemed somewhat tense.

Secretary Gao was somewhat surprised, wondering if she had misread it.

Shen Yanci has been attending various psychology lectures and buying and reading many psychology books in the past few days.

Having relationship problems?

His principle was to understand his boss's thoughts and never pry into his personal life.

He kept his eyes and mind to himself, treating himself as if he were invisible.

Shen Yanci lifted his eyelids and looked at him: "If I may ask, what is it that your girlfriend is still dissatisfied with?"

"..."

Quite presumptuous indeed.

How is this any different from HR asking you what your weaknesses are?

Secretary Gao ignored the fact that he was missing the word "former" in his address, treating it like an interview question, and focused on his strengths at work:

"Our main difference lies in our philosophies. I like things to be organized and planned, while she prefers to be more spontaneous. When doing something, I prefer to focus on the results, while she thinks the process is more important. She thinks I'm too rational and pragmatic, and not romantic enough."

Shen Yanci: "Haven't you tried using her method?"

Secretary Gao remained silent.

Shen Yanci didn't pry into his privacy: "You can go home today."

"Thank you, Mr. Yanci."

Shen Yanci drove to F University, and before getting out of the car, she tidied her hair in front of the mirror.

He waited for Qin Zhao downstairs in the teaching building. Qin Zhao was studying on her own and came down quickly.

He saw her and smiled at her.

As evening approached, the sunlight softened, casting a warm orange glow upon his disheveled figure.

Qin Zhao paused for a moment.

Shen Yanci walked towards her, his gaze lingering on her face for two seconds before he restrained himself and looked away.

He naturally took her schoolbag.

His voice was deep and magnetic: "Are you tired?"

"I'm fine." Qin Zhao paused, then looked up at him. "What about you? Don't you need to rest?"

　Sorry, everyone, I've been really tired these past few days and haven't been able to update on time.
　　Thank you for your concern, babies! I'm much better today than the past few days! Babies, please remember to eat and sleep on time and take good care of yourselves! Health comes first!

　　One chapter will be updated tonight, combining three chapters.
