After uttering that line, Wang Sheng saw that Xia Zhi was still looking at him. He waved his hand and said, “It’s getting late. I feel a little sleepy, so I’ll go to bed first. You should rest early too. Don’t stay up late!”

Xia Zhi looked at Wang Sheng’s back as he returned to his room and felt that something was wrong. Just as she was about to set off, she received a message.

Ah San: Boss, when I arrived, that person had already cleaned up the scene and left. I did learn that he had been to the police station, but I can’t find out more. I have failed you. I’m willing to accept any punishment!

Xia Zhi: It’s fine. You had to deal with a rather slippery one.

Xia Zhi turned off her phone screen and lowered her eyes to hide her emotions. According to what Ah San said just now, it seemed that she would need to check this out herself. However, Grandpa had been watching her closely recently, so she had to be careful to ensure that she would not be discovered.

Over the next few days, Xia Zhi was constantly pestered by Wang Sheng regarding Chu Nan. Xia Zhi did not know how to bring this up to Chu Nan, so she would always use the excuse that Chu Nan was busy and would come whenever he had time.

Wang Sheng was at it again, asking the same thing. “Is Chu Nan still busy?”

Xia Zhi had long grown numb. She answered habitually.

Wang Sheng usually wouldn’t follow up with a question after hearing her response, and Xia Zhi didn’t think that would be any different this time. Xiao Zhi, are you lying to Grandpa?” she heard Wang Sheng ask solemnly. You two aren’t engaged, and you hardly talk to each other, is that right?

Xia Zhi’s eyelids twitched after she heard Wang Sheng’s question, but she managed to force herself to reply, “Of course not! We usually spend a lot of time talking, but he has been too busy lately. I’ll try to convince him to reschedule his plans so he can come see you first again in a hurry.

Xia Zhi hurriedly ascended the stairs after making this statement.

Xia Zhi’s mind went blank as she stared at the white space on Chu Nan’s chat page. A few hours later, she made up her mind. She closed her eyes and made up her mind to send a message.

Xia Zhi: How’s the healing going on your leg? If the medicine I gave you before isn’t helping, let me know and I’ll give you something else.

At first, Xia Zhi assumed she wouldn’t hear back from Chu Nan for a while because she was so swamped with running the Chu family empire. When she sent the message, she did not anticipate getting a response right away.

Chu Nan remarked: The prescription is excellent. I feel like I’m making good progress in my recovery.

Xia Zhi was well-aware that her prescription would work. After all, she had only been looking for a light conversation starter.

Xia Zhi was silent, but Chu Nan made an educated guess.

Do you need my assistance?” Chu Nan queried.

Xia Zhi had not expected Chu Nan to catch on so soon, so she quickly seized the opportunity to reply.

Xia Zhi: Yes, I do need your help.

Chu Nan: Yes!

Xia Zhi raised her eyebrows when she saw Chu Nan’s reply. She became far less embarrassed.

Xia Zhi: You agreed without even hearing the question. Aren’t you afraid that I would trick you?

Chu Nan: I won’t. I don’t believe that you’re such a person. If you need my help in the future, just let me know. No matter what it is, I’ll do my best to help you.

Xia Zhi pursed her lips and thought for a moment. She sensed that Chu Nan might be trying his best to help her only because she resembled his old friend. When she realized this, she felt conflicted.

Xia Zhi was reluctant to accept Chu Nan’s assistance because of another individual. She closed her eyes and contemplated her options for a while.

Xia Zhi: I need your help to come to my house and work with me to put on a show in front of Grandpa. I want him to believe that we’re really engaged. As a form of repayment, whenever you are sick in the future, no matter when or where, I can immediately come to you three times.

This time, Chu Nan did not reply immediately. He only agreed after a few minutes.

Seeing this, Xia Zhi heaved a sigh of relief and set a time to meet Chu Nan tomorrow.

Even so, Xia Zhi was still a little worried about the uncertainties of tomorrow. She decided to ask Zhao Shan to come over as well, in case things went awry.
