She had a crush on him first.

"That look in her eyes should be exactly what I guessed," Wen Zhi thought to herself, feeling suddenly less confident. When she spoke again, her voice was much quieter, "I will work and pay you back in the future."

Nian Xun scoffed lightly.

Wen Zhi immediately asked, "Are you laughing at me working, saying it's not enough to pay back what you've spent on me?"

Driven by her pride, she became anxious, "I said I would pay it back, and I definitely will. We can write an IOU. I will pay back whatever I owe..."

She hadn't finished her sentence when suddenly Nian Xun interrupted her—

"Let Shang Hexing help you pay?"

His tone was light and indifferent, but Wen Zhi could hear the disdain in his words.

He looked down on her.

However, Wen Zhi wasn't angry. The contempt of others wouldn't cause her any physical harm.
