It wasn’t because Qin Zhi’ai did not sense it. When Jiang Qianqian said, “Thank you,” the look on her face seemed to say that she wanted to tear her apart with her stare.

Qin Zhi’ai pretended that she did not sense anything wrong. She replied to Jiang Qianqian with a smile and responded politely, “You’re welcome.”

When Qin Zhi’ai posed calmly like it was nothing, it made Jiang Qianqian grow even angrier.

It was just as Qin Zhi’ai predicted—Jiang Qianqian’s shoulders shuddered in anger after her gentle response.

When Qian Zhi’ai was in high school, she already knew Jiang Qianqian was a person who wouldn’t let anything go if she felt she had been taken advantage of.

It was still early. If Qin Zhi’ai stayed any longer, no one knew what troubles Jiang Qianqian would cause.

If Qian Zhi’ai left at this moment, Jiang Qianqian’s anger would not find a release, which would make her feel even worse.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhi’ai put down her teacup and said, “You guys have fun. I’m going to take a bath in the hot springs.”

…

Qin Zhi’ai loved the quiet, so she picked a small hot spring in the most hidden location.

She was the only one in the hot spring and surrounded by many tropical plants, noises were blocked from outside. Only the water flowing into the hot spring made a babbling sound.

After Qin Zhi’ai got used to the temperature of the hot water, she found herself in a comfortable position with her eyes closed.

It hadn’t been very comfortable laying on the wicker chair when she had slept in the sun room last night. Even though she had caught up on some sleep in the morning, Qin Zhi’ai still felt drowsy after closing her eyes for a long time.

Qin Zhi’ai had handed her phone to the hot spring staff before she went down to the water.

When she was sleeping soundly, the hot spring staff ran to her with her cell phone. “Madam, you have a call.”

Qin Zhi’ai opened her eyes and glanced at the cell phone that the staff held out. It was a call from the driver that Zhou Jing arranged for her.

Qin Zhi’ai walked out of the hot spring and dried her hands. She thanked the staff and took the phone. She slid her finger across the screen to answer the call.

The signal in the hot spring was a little weak. Qin Zhi’ai couldn’t hear the driver clearly on the phone, so she said, “Hold on a second,” and ran out.

….

Jiang Qianqian was not happy about not being able to get to Qin Zhi’ai.

Maybe because of her anxiety, Jiang Qianqian did not feel well after soaking herself in the hot spring for a short time. She put on her towel and walked out.

She had planned on finding a staff for some water and walked around, but she unexpectedly saw Liang Doukou talking on the phone in the outdoor pavilion.

Jiang Qianqian hesitated for a second before she ran to a rosebush behind Liang Doukou. She plucked her ears to eavesdrop on Liang Doukou’s phone call.
