Chen Zhi fiercely chastised herself, stopped thinking about anything, calmed her mind to sleep, and quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already dark. Aunt Zhou happened to come up and knock on the door, asking from outside, "Young Madam, are you awake?"
"Mm, what is it?" Chen Zhi sat up and responded.
"You haven't eaten yet. The meal is ready, come downstairs and have some food."
"Alright." Since there's no more running away, there's no point in resisting. Just like that, unable to escape, she could only accept it.
However, her heart still felt bitter. Si Ye's insistence on keeping her with such intense methods made her want to resist.
Forget it, take it one step at a time; if there's a chance, she still wants to leave.
She only hopes he can understand soon enough that there's truly nothing possible between them, and forcefully holding on won't last long.
While Chen Zhi was eating, Aunt Zhou stood by her side, looking hesitant, not speaking or leaving.
