She had been wanting to have a good chat with him for ages, but their conversations would always end up the same way . A couple of minutes into their conversation and she would have run out of words or topics to talk about .
Zhong Nuannuan fell onto her bed . She placed her palm over her forehead, feeling as if her head was about to explode .
However, when her gaze landed on the gift box on the table, her heart softened .
Well, nobody was perfect .
Her Chi Yang was outstanding in every aspect possible, except for when it came to matters of emotion . That would not affect their relationship, would it?
He did not know how to hold a casual conversation, so she would just have to put in more work to talk to him! It was as simple as that, was it not?
A smile tugged at her lips once again . Basking in the warm afternoon sun, she fell asleep .
Although it had been such a short conversation, she felt extremely drained now . She needed to rest and re-energize herself .
After Chi Yang had hung up the phone, he quickly switched on the air conditioner in his office .
He unbuttoned his collar and reached to touch his neck to find that he was completely drenched in sweat . In fact, he was sweating more than he usually did after his 20-kilometer jogs, with weights too!
When Song Qing entered the room, he was greeted with an overwhelmed-looking Chi Yang who was wiping away his sweat .
“What’s the matter?”
“This is the latest drill report . ”
“Just leave it here . ”
“Yes, sir . ”
Seeing that Song Qing was still dawdling in his office, Chi Yang looked at him . “Is there something else?”
“Cough, cough… Boss, are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine . ”
“Your old man… Is everything alright?”
“Yes . ”
“…” Why was he drenched in sweat then?
Something was obviously going on!
“Is something going on with you? If you tell me, perhaps I can try and help . ” Seeing Song Qing struggling with his words, Chi Yang thought that he was facing a problem and offered to help his subordinate resolve it .
‘I think I should be the one trying to help you here!’ thought Song Qing .
Song Qing was confused by Chi Yang’s abnormal attitude . His mouth opened wide, and he was stunned for a moment before responding, “No, everything’s fine . Boss, if there’s nothing else, I’ll excuse myself now . ”

“Alright . ”
After all, everyone had their own secrets . Although they were brothers, it would not be good to continue pestering if the other person was unwilling to share .
Song Qing left the office, leaving Chi Yang alone at his desk .
As Chi Yang thought back to his conversation with Nuannuan, the thick layer of ice he had encapsulated himself in began melting from the corners of his eyes . Now that there was nobody else around, a small smile crept to the edge of his lips to form a handsome grin that was so bright and tender that it could melt the Arctic glaciers .
He used to be afraid of how she was repulsed by him and hated him, so he had never dared mention their engagement dinner . Therefore, the gown had been left in a corner all this while .
However, he had finally sent it out today .
Most importantly, his lady liked it very much .
Zhong Qianqian, who had just suffered a blow to her ego, rushed back to her room to phone Aiden .
She took deep breaths to calm herself down as she waited patiently for Aiden to answer the phone .
While waiting for Aiden to answer her call, she gave herself words of encouragement and said, “It’s okay, Zhong Qianqian . You still have Aiden! He’s the Vice President of Tianheng Holdings and the General Manager too! Chi Yang is just a soldier . He can’t even be compared to Aiden!”
No matter what sort of background Chi Yang came from, his status was nowhere near Aiden’s .
However, the phone rang for a long time and nobody answered it . Zhong Qianqian waited for a solid minute until the call ended itself .
Still, no one answered .
Her sixth sense grew stronger as Zhong Qianqian felt even more unsettled .
Perhaps Aiden was busy at the moment and muted his phone .
Yes, that must be it!
