After eating, Lin Zhiyi followed the doctor’s orders and took her medicine before collapsing dizzily onto her bed.
She faintly heard Liu He say she was going back to the hotel, and with a hum, she fell asleep.
But for some reason, she always felt someone was staring at her beside the bed.
She squinted and took a look, then turned over.
The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes, bounced up from the bed, and glared at the man beside her.
"Uncle, it’s really late, what do you want?"
"Eaten yet?" Gong Chen asked in a low voice.
"Eaten—"
Lin Zhiyi was about to say she had eaten when Chen Jin, standing behind Gong Chen, raised a bag in his hand, making exaggerated gestures.
"Miss Lin! Local snacks from Shan City, Third Young Master hasn’t eaten yet and specially brought them to eat with you."
Considering Lin Zhiyi liked to be contrary.
Chen Jin’s hint became more explicit.
Lin Zhiyi pulled at the blanket, pretending not to see, "No thanks, Uncle can take them and eat with Song Wanqiu, she loves them."
Gong Chen was now sitting in a wheelchair, so she wasn’t afraid of him doing anything.
But the moment she finished speaking, the air around her seemed to freeze, becoming stifling.
"She went back. You join me for some," Gong Chen waved to Chen Jin.
Chen Jin immediately went over to a small table to place the food.
Lin Zhiyi shrank back on the bed, her face becoming noticeably paler.
Song Wanqiu had left, and they were just teasing her.
Seeing her motionless, Gong Chen’s gaze darkened, "I saved you, and this is your attitude?"
Lin Zhiyi interrupted, "Okay, okay, I’ll join you."
She threw off the blanket, sat down at the table, and started stuffing food into her mouth like a puppet.
Seeing this, Gong Chen’s lips tightened, his gaze growing cold as he firmly grasped her wrist, "If you don’t like it, stop eating."
"It doesn’t matter."
Lin Zhiyi lowered her head and continued eating.
Because her mouth was too full, the swollen part of her cheek hurt fiercely.
Yet she kept eating, feeling stifled inside.
Why must everyone pressure her!
With a slap, Gong Chen hadn’t touched his food yet when he suddenly put down his chopsticks and forcefully pulled her onto his lap.
Thinking of his legs, Lin Zhiyi struggled to stand.
But her body was encircled by strong arms, trapping her in his embrace.
Lin Zhiyi couldn’t help but remind him, "Uncle, your leg."
Gong Chen held her tight, his voice cold and slightly hoarse, "So, you remember. Try moving again."
Lin Zhiyi wanted to try, but the man’s body beneath her was extremely tense.
They had been married for eight years in their past lives; she understood his changes.
She turned her head to look at him, a light mist covering her eyes, revealing and concealing, wanting to say something but feeling embarrassed.
"You..."
"What?"
Gong Chen’s deep black eyes were fixed on Lin Zhiyi.
She was somewhat clever, but not very good at hiding it, her little moods always showing through those clear eyes.
Stubborn and frustrated.
Each time, her eyes would be watery, making her already delicate and pretty face even more enticing, as if trying to ensnare someone’s soul.
But now, he was not in the mood to appreciate her beauty.
After seeing her face clearly, his body gradually calmed down.
He lifted his hand towards her, but she frowned and dodged, turning her injured cheek away.
Gong Chen pinched her chin, turning it back to expose the swollen half of her face completely under the light.
The clear imprint of a hand and tiny blood vessels under the skin.
His gaze grew colder and as he was about to touch her, Lin Zhiyi pressed down on his hand.
"Stop looking."
"Did you apply any medicine?"
Gong Chen pulled her closer.
