Zuo Zixian thought back to Ling Yiheng, who was sure she would turn to him for help. A trace of happiness and pride flashed through his heart. He was glad that he had Mika as his friend, so she wouldn't have to rely on him.

At this moment, Ling Yiheng, who had just finished his shower in the apartment, was only wearing silk pajamas with a towel covering his body, revealing his smooth and white chest. Just as he walked towards the sofa and was about to pick up the phone, he heard a "Ding Dong" outside the door as he pressed the doorbell.

There was a trace of confusion in his eyes. No one knew about this place except the chauffeur, so why would there be a knock on the door?

When he opened the door and saw the person who entered, Ling Yiheng only felt a slight headache.

His grayish hair was tattered and dripping with water. Amidst his messy bangs were a pair of beautiful, ink-black eyes. He still had the fresh scent of a bath. Looking at the person at the door, he concealed the impatience in his heart.

"Ugh …" "Yi Heng, you …" Qiu Shitong's eyes flashed with a bit of shyness and ambiguity as she looked at the person in front of her. Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted.

Her handsome face had an elegant curve to it, but there was a distinct estrangement. Looking at her, her tone was light and indifferent, "Why did you come?" As he spoke, he glanced at the number that was flashing to indicate that he had not received a call. He had already guessed what he was talking about.

"It was Aunt Mo who said you came to Boston and gave me your address. She told me to look for you." "After all, I've been back in Boston for a few months and we haven't seen each other."

Ling Yiheng walked to the sofa and put on his clothes with his back facing her. He said without any change in tone, "I will be back in a few days. I won't stay for long." Anyone could understand the subtext, but Qiu Shitong subconsciously tried to avoid it.

"Yi Heng, I heard that you have a cooperation case in Boston and a business reception. You don't have a girlfriend, do you? I'll go with you. " She walked to his side, a little perturbed, and mustered up her courage to smile at him.

He frowned slightly. He didn't think that his mother would even tell her about this. He didn't want to go to the party, but a friend in Boston had to invite him several times. However, even if he wanted to bring along a lady, he couldn't possibly be the person in front of him.

Suddenly, the image of a stubborn figure appeared in his mind, carrying a hidden vulnerability. His slightly curled long hair danced in the wind, and his glass-like eyes looked at Ye Zichen with hidden anger.

For a moment, he was lost in thought, forgetting that there was someone else beside him.

"Yi Heng?" Qiu Shitong took another step forward with a puzzled expression. She gave a tentative cry and pulled Ling Yiheng back from his thoughts.

"No need, just do what you need to do." He returned to his senses and his expression returned to normal. He lazily sat down on the sofa, lowered his eyes and picked up the phone to look through it. He then lightly rejected her suggestion.

Qiu Shitong's expression changed. She was at a loss for words after being rejected by Ye Ci. In the end, she was still someone who had received a good education from the upper class, so she quickly recovered. She gently smiled and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight." There were some things that she didn't want to face at all. She had always felt that hard work was bound to yield results.

Ling Yiheng could only feel his forehead throbbing in pain. It wasn't that she didn't understand human speech, but that she didn't want to listen at all. She was the fiancée his mother had appointed for him when he graduated from college three years ago, but he had never accepted her. She was the only one who maintained the appearance of being in love with him.

He had been too busy at work ever since he took over the company, so he had turned a blind eye to some of her actions regarding herself as his fiancee. Now, however, he felt that it was about time to settle this matter.

"I still have things to do. I heard that you will be returning home soon. At that time, come with aunty to my house. " He said as he put on his coat. His tone was firm. To clarify things out in front of his parents, cancelling this ridiculous engagement should be the best solution.

Qiu Shitong was shocked, and her face lost all color. Of course, she knew what he meant. She had made the same suggestion before, but every time, she would find an excuse to turn it down, in order to avoid his decision. Before, he would always let things go, but this time, why did he make her feel afraid? There was a resolution in his tone that she had never felt before.

"Yi Heng brother, Aunt Mo said that it would be best if we went back together. "It's been a long time since I've seen it as well …" She tried to find a topic to ease the atmosphere, and tried to escape again, but failed. He interrupted her.

Ling Yiheng tried his best to keep his tone calm as he looked at her with patience, "Mika, there are some things that we should make clear sooner or later."

She tried her best to keep her expression calm, but her smile was a bit stiff. However, she still opened her mouth and feigned ignorance. "I don't know what you're talking about. Since you're not free today, I'll come and eat with you tomorrow."
