Before Qi Wu could answer him, Jin Si sneered.
“Do you think I’m a tool?”
As if he didn’t want to hear Qi Wu’s answer at all, his rejection was swift and clear. “No.”
However, there was a sense of frustration and gloom in his voice.
A minute later, Qi Wu watched Jin Si angrily stomp away and slowly blinked.
Jin Si was angry. It was very serious.
Qi Wu suddenly realized that.
Confusion was painted all across her face, laced with a hint of helplessness and panic.
However, she knew that angry people needed to be coaxed.
Hence, Qi Wu looked in the direction of the kitchen and walked over.
Jin Si had never stopped her from entering the kitchen, but he had never let her cook either. Everything always seemed to be under control and organized in a way that let him control Qi Wu.
In the end, Jin Si, who was in control, seemed to have lost control for a moment.
Qi Wu looked at the food on the kitchen counter and tilted her head.
If she hadn’t interrupted him just now, Jin Si would have already brought out the food and placed it on the dining table. Then, he would have called her to eat with a calm expression.
That was their average day together.
However, she had messed it up just now.
For the first time, Qi Wu felt a terrible emotion.
She stood there quietly as her entire being radiated with a sense of loneliness. She was like a goddess who had been cut off from the world, unable to blend in with humanity.
After a while, she made a call.
When the call connected, Qi Wu softly asked, “Tong Luo, can you teach me how
to bake cookies?”
In the villa, Tong Luo would occasionally make some snacks and feed them to her roommates. Qi Wu used to follow her around to watch her bake cookies.
The kitchen had everything. However, the supplies she needed had clearly been forgotten about by their owner.
“Huh?”
Tong Luo froze for a moment when she heard Qi Wu’s request.
Qi Wu rarely asked others for help, or rather, she never did. Therefore, Tong Luo couldn’t hide her surprise when she heard that Qi Wu wanted to learn how to bake cookies.
“Can you?”
Qi Wu asked again.
Tong Luo quickly came back to her senses. “Of course!”
Then, she suddenly realized that Qi Qu sounded a little down. This wasn’t because Tong Luo was sensitive. Qi Wu was always calm, so if she felt anything else, it would be very obvious.
Thus, Tong Luo tentatively asked, “Qi W, why do you suddenly want to bake cookies?”
The few seconds of silence between the two seemed to stretch on forever. Finally, Qi Wu replied, “To pacify my debtholder.”
Tong Luo was speechless.
Why did she even ask?
Although Tong Luo didn’t know the exact situation around Qi Wu and her sugar daddy, she still felt like she had just stumbled upon a display of affection.
Perhaps the sugar daddy was someone who could enlighten Qi Wu?
Thus, Tong Luo reluctantly taught Qi Wu how to bake over the phone.
As a fan who hoped that her idol would be committed to reaching the peak of her career, Tong Luo didn’t want Qi Wu to be misled by love, but she also didn’t want Qi Wu to be ignorant.
Tong Luo continued arguing with herself until the cookies were done.
“Tong Luo, thank you,” Qi Wu said.
“No, it’s okay.”
Tong Luo sighed imperceptibly. “I wish you all the best in pacifying your…guy.” When she said the word “pacifying,” she gritted her teeth in reluctance.
In her eyes, he was being ungrateful. How dare he make Qi Wu work to pacify him!
The worst was that he actually had the nerve to be angry at Qi Wu!
Tong Luo’s thoughts continued to wander as Qi Wu hung up the phone and quietly looked at the freshly baked cookies in front of her.
She placed a few small, simple-looking butter cookies on a plate. The kitchen was filled with the smell of cookies.
Qi Wu carried the plate out of the kitchen.
After Jin Si stormed out of the room, he went to the study room.
This was a room he always occupied.
He sat on the couch beside the French window, slumped over like he was sinking into the soft cushions.
The lights in the room were not switched on. Sunlight shone in from outside the window, but the light stopped just shy of Jin Si.
Half of his face was hidden in the shadows, giving off a gloomy aura.
He was thinking, but he couldn’t figure out what he was thinking about. He just sat there like a statue.
It had been so long since he arrived that he had lost all concept of time and could no longer remember why he was here in the first place.
After a long time, he suddenly remembered that he was wondering why he was so angry at Qi Wu.
He was a cold and aloof man who never cared about anything in the world. If put that way, he was the same kind of person as Shen Xi.
He should be angry at Qi Wu for using him as a tool. That was an affront to his dignity. Although few things could arouse his interest, he was still used to being in control all the time.
Therefore, he would naturally be angry at Qi Wu.
That was only natural.
However, just as he thought that, something in him questioned if that was the truth.
Jin Si suddenly frowned.
The wrinkles on his eyebrows added a sense of dignity to his face, making him look like a lonely king frustrated by some dilemma.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
The crisp and rhythmic knocking brought Jin Si back to his senses.
Jin Si did not turn around, nor did he make a sound.
The door to the study was like a decoration to Qi Wu. Previously, she only knocked out of respect and walked in without waiting for a response.
That was because he had tacitly agreed to it.
However, a minute had passed, and the door to the study was still closed. Jin Si impatiently frowned. He could not help but sarcastically wonder if she finally knew that he was angry.
However, this did not make him feel any happier. Instead, it worsened his mood.
“Come in,” he coldly said.
There seemed to be a trace of urgency in his tone.
The soft sound of the door opening echoed through the room as Qi Wu obediently stuck her head in from outside the door. The way she stuck her head in made Jin Si’s eyes twitch slightly.
However, what he was more concerned about was the thing in Qi Wu’s hand.
“What are you doing?” he asked coldly.
Qi Wu looked at Jin Si’s cold face and gloomy eyes before quickly walking up to him.
Her fearless manner of approaching him made Jin Si purse his lips. His body, which was already stiff, tensed up because of her approach.
What tricks did she want to play this time?
Uncertainty filled his mind..
