Lin Zhi was standing aside, holding Zhouzhou's hand: "Mr. Ji, let me buy you a cup of coffee."

"Thanks."

Ji Changmu did not refuse.

Lin Zhi first took Zhouzhou to the piano class and found a cafe with a beautiful environment nearby.

There is a courtyard in the coffee shop, which is peaceful and green, with green vines climbing over the fence. It is the hottest time of summer, and the dazzling light falls on the meridians of the leaves, making them motionless.

There are several bunches of grapes on the vines at the top of the yard. They are green and growing very well.

Ji Changmu and she sat near the courtyard and each ordered a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Ji, where is Miss Qiao?"

"She's at the hotel."

"Oh." Lin Zhi looked calm, "Thank you, Mr. Ji, for coming to see Zhouzhou. If you go to the airport tomorrow, I may not have time to see you off."

"No, there is a driver."

"Okay, if you have a chance to come over next time, you can tell me in advance and I will pick you up at the airport."

"Ms. Lin probably doesn't like me coming here often."

"No." Lin Zhi's face looked a little haggard, his tone was slow and his voice was low, "I have always respected Mr. Ji, but for some personal reasons, I haven't been able to eliminate the feeling in my heart yet.

Just don't blame Mr. Ji for some obstacles."

"No, if it weren't for Yan Jia, we wouldn't have crossed paths."

"Yeah." She lowered her head and stirred the coffee with a spoon.

Heat floated out of the black cup, white mist fell into her eyes, and a thin layer of moisture formed under her eyes.

She picked up the cup gently and took a sip of coffee, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like butterfly wings.

"Ms. Lin probably just wants to buy me a cup of coffee." After a while, Ji Changmu spoke.

He has always been cold and stern in front of outsiders, and there is an invisible sense of oppression all over his body. His sharp eyes often assess the situation, and no emotion can escape his eyes.

He drank coffee carelessly, but his eyes often fell on Lin Zhi.

"Yes, Mr. Ji's time is precious, and I...just have something to say to Mr. Ji alone."

"It doesn't matter, my time is not valuable. This trip is just to go out and relax." Ji Changmu knew that Yan Jia could not be avoided between them, so he mentioned something, "Yan Jia had a respiratory arrest some time ago. After rescue, he was temporarily discharged.

A life was saved. Miss Lin probably doesn't know about this."

"The Yan family's affairs are always kept secret, and he is the president of the Yan family. I don't know if this is normal."

"Well, Miss Lin should take better care of her health in Germany. Only by taking good care of herself can she have the energy to take care of Zhouzhou."

"Thank you." Lin Zhi murmured, "Mr. Ji, if you have time, I can tell you about my past with Yan Jia. Maybe you don't want to hear it."

"Ms. Lin, tell me, I'll listen."

He happened to not be busy today.

Lin Zhi was silent for a long time and took a few sips of coffee, the bitter taste spreading through her heart.

What she ordered was the most bitter American version.

The woman's eyes seemed to be red, her red lips were pursed, but her face became paler.

Ji Changmu knew that uncovering the trauma was not an easy task.

He didn't rush, just waited silently.

"Mr. Ji..." she finally spoke again, "Yan Jia and I are high school classmates, I am an orphan, and he is the second son of the Yan family."

"I know." Ji Changmu nodded.
