Chapter 248 The Cold-Blooded World Destroyer 24 (1/2)

Looking at her serious demeanor as she discussed cooperation, Wen Zhaoye glanced down at his own bespoke suit, which was worth as much as a small country, and a huge sense of grievance welled up in his heart.

This is the best-looking suit he owns, doesn't she even compliment it?

"You contacted me just to discuss this? Are you representing the base to discuss cooperation with me?"

He held his breath for a long time, his golden pupils filled with disbelief, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Did you already know that Zhou Ying was me? When did you find out?"

"Don't you... have anything else to say to me?"

He asked again, unwilling to give up, with a last glimmer of hope.

Is it because you already knew that you're so calm?

She was even a little angry at his previous concealment, which is why she used this method to express her estrangement from him.

Are you very angry? How angry are you?

The more Wen Zhaoye thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He suddenly became uneasy and subconsciously asked a question, his tone even a little cautious.

He had already envisioned eight hundred ways to coax someone and gifts in his mind.

However, Zi Xi's thinking was not on the same wavelength as his at all.

"Yes, I think I realized you were the creator of the Otherworld when you were helping Mona and me through the game."

“There’s a saying that goes, ‘A teacher for a day is a father for life.’ Instructor, you’ve taught us so much, but you haven’t hurt us at all. On the contrary, you’ve helped me a lot. Why should I be angry?”

Zi Xi answered truthfully, then frowned slightly in confusion.

"Regarding cooperation, this is just my idea and does not represent the base. Besides, I am not qualified to represent the country."

"I just personally feel that... this cooperation might be beneficial to both parties, so I wanted to ask you privately about your intentions and feasibility first."

"If you think it's possible, I'll go and report the proposal to Director Zhang and the others."

She then answered his first question.

Wen Zhaoye stared at her blankly.

It's over.

It's all over.

His carefully planned dashing entrance turned into a late-night project negotiation meeting, which was bad enough, but his anxiety about being exposed and his anger only made things worse when the other party didn't care at all.

The relationship, which was meant to be hinted at, collapsed before it could even be said.

She was even considering the technical feasibility for him!

Looking into Zi Xi's eyes, which were filled with sincere inquiry, he felt an overwhelming sense of frustration and heartache.

So, all that incredibly stylish outfit he wore tonight was a complete waste?

He gradually created an ambiguous atmosphere, but the female lead didn't even enter the room; she was still outside, diligently studying the project proposal.

What a joke! Zhou Zixi's ideas were just minor adjustments to some data and changes to the processes within the alternate dimension.

Only he in this world can do that!

Wen Zhaoye instantly felt that the sky had cleared and the rain had stopped, and he felt that he was capable again!

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the urge to vomit blood, and looked at Zi Xi's earnest expression as she waited for his answer. Suddenly, he felt that this might not be so bad after all.

At least she was willing to talk to him and consider the future.

"...The modification is possible, but it's extremely troublesome; all the rules and the monster's core would need to be completely reconstructed..."

After glancing through the notes in his memo, Wen Zhaoye ground his back teeth and finally spoke with a resigned tone, his voice muffled.

"However... if it's something you want, perhaps I can consider it."

"Because you want it."

Wen Zhaoye paused, his molten gold pupils staring intently at her, attempting a final struggle.
