Xie Yanchuan paused, seemingly not expecting Xu Jinzhi to ask him such a question. Once he realized, he instinctively glanced at Xu Jinzhi.
But now that Xu Jinzhi was hugging him, even as Xie Yanchuan lowered his head, he couldn't see the expression on her face.
Xu Jinzhi said nothing, waiting for Xie Yanchuan's reply, while the living room fell into an uncomfortable silence.
After a moment, Xie Yanchuan finally spoke in a deep voice, "I told you last time, I just finished a project and haven't had any new ideas yet, so I'm going to take a break for a while."
"But I heard that your research group is going to be disbanded," Xu Jinzhi's voice remained steady, seemingly without much emotion.
Only Xu Jinzhi knew how shocked she felt upon hearing this news.
