After driving Yu Zhi away, Wen Liang remained seated in silence, his face slightly flushed, and a hint of a different expression flickered in his eyes, tinted with an unusual hue.

He composed himself, reached for the teapot, and poured a cup of tea, which he drank in one gulp.

The tea had turned lukewarm, but he didn't mind. He found it quite refreshing.

It wasn't until he had downed two cups of cold tea that Wen Liang's restless thoughts began to settle.

His fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, a sign of his inner turmoil. Despite his efforts to suppress it, he couldn't ignore the momentary strangeness he had just experienced.

It was as if that person had come alive before his eyes, suddenly vibrant and colorful in a monochrome world, capturing his attention.

Impossible!

A fool...

Just a fool!

Wen Liang's gaze darkened slightly, seemingly filled with disdain for that fool, with a hint of hostility glinting in his eyes.

Could he possibly develop feelings for a fool?

Ridiculous!

Yu Zhi quickly noticed Wen Liang's unusual behavior. During the day, Wen Liang would occasionally stare at him intently, his gaze carrying an inexplicable and eerie intensity. Sometimes, Yu Zhi even felt a palpable sense of danger, but when he looked back, it would vanish.

At night, Wen Liang stopped pestering him, seemingly returning to normal from his earlier state of excessive desire, focusing more energy on dealing with the people from the Wen family.

In just a month, the Wen family's assets had shrunk by half, the restaurant was barely hanging on, and tensions within the Wen family deepened. To cut expenses, they even laid off many servants. These days were filled with anxiety, and at one point, Mr. Wen fell ill, the suffering was indescribable.

Wen Liang took note of Yu Zhi's unusual behavior, observing him more closely in secret.

Tonight, after dinner, Yu Zhi didn't immediately retire to his study as usual. Normally, they would enjoy each other's company for a while longer, with Yu Zhi initiating light conversations while Wen Liang responded casually, occasionally heartfelt.

But tonight was different. Wen Liang silently stared at Yu Zhi under the lamplight. The warm glow cast a soft light, and Yu Zhi's eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, captivating and radiant, stirring emotions.

Wen Liang's hand reached for Yu Zhi's face, lifting his chin to make him face him directly.

In a murmuring tone, Wen Liang seemed perplexed and incredulous, "How could it be you..."

Yu Zhi's gaze shifted slightly, "What's wrong with me?"

"Wife, I know I'm good-looking, but you can only admire me for a while. I'm going to bed next door" 

Wen Liang dropped Yu Zhi's face nonchalantly and glanced at him sideways, "As if anyone cares!"

To this day, Wen Liang finds it hard to believe that he could fall for a fool.

He had encountered many outstanding individuals in the past, but none had managed to stir his heart. Yet now, it was a fool with nothing but a face that had disrupted his peace, injecting bright and vibrant colors into his world.
