Lin Zhiyi had barely managed to drive the car out of the parking lot, maintaining a steady speed on the road.
Others, seeing her drive, dared not get angry, and could only give way a bit.
Halfway through the journey, there were noticeably more vehicles on the road as people got off work.
She became somewhat panicked, and in avoiding other vehicles, she stomped on the brakes several times.
"Lin Zhiyi, when was the last time you drove?"
Gong Chen rubbed his brow, nearly shaken into a concussion by her sudden braking.
Lin Zhiyi gripped the steering wheel tightly, thought back, and realized saying ’over eight years ago’ wasn’t quite right.
Finally, she spoke softly, "Sophomore year."
Although Liu He had encouraged her to learn to drive early, she didn’t own a car, so how could she practice?
"Pull over and park."
Gong Chen’s voice carried a rare hint of helplessness.
Lin Zhiyi parked the car by the roadside.
After Gong Chen got out, he sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt.
Suddenly having someone beside her made Lin Zhiyi even more nervous, and she instinctively looked at him, "What now?"
The corners of Gong Chen’s lips curved suddenly, he pinched her chin and turned it, "Now, watch the road. Turn right up ahead."
"Oh."
Although Lin Zhiyi was holding the steering wheel, she felt completely out of her depth and could only follow Gong Chen’s commands.
The car continued moving at a snail’s pace.
Gong Chen sat quietly, occasionally giving directions, not getting angry about her unconfident driving of the luxury car.
Eventually, they parked the car in the garage without incident.
"We’re here." Lin Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Such an expensive car, she could never afford to pay for it if damaged.
Gong Chen wasn’t in a hurry to get out, he looked at his watch, "Lin Zhiyi, congratulations, a half-hour drive and you took one hour and three minutes."
Lin Zhiyi retorted, "Uncle, regardless, I did bring you back safely, I’ll go back..."
"Cough, cough, cough."
Gong Chen clenched his fist to his lips and coughed violently, as if he were about to vomit.
Li Huan mentioned concussions could cause dizziness and vomiting.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t continue speaking, and after getting out of the car, she went around to the passenger side and opened the door to support Gong Chen.
"Uncle, let me help you up."
"Mm."
Gong Chen got out of the car and pulled Lin Zhiyi into his arms.
Lin Zhiyi was suddenly enveloped by the man’s scent, pausing, she asked, "What are you doing?"
"Isn’t it helping me?" Gong Chen said coolly.
"..."
Lin Zhiyi was speechless and could only let him lead her upstairs.
Upon entering the house, she helped him to sit on the sofa, then placed the bag of medicine on the table.
She opened the bag and checked the doctor’s instructions.
"These are to be taken after meals."
As she spoke, a message from Chen Jin arrived.
"Miss Lin, Third Young Master hasn’t eaten anything yet. Our housekeeper is off today, could you please take care of him?"
"Your Third Young Master knows how to cook! Don’t try to fool me!"
"..."
Chen Jin sent a grin that was not quite smiling.
Then, Gong Chen glanced at the phone screen, looked down for a few seconds, turned off the phone, and stood up.
Lin Zhiyi holding the medicine box, puzzled, asked, "Uncle, what are you doing?"
"Isn’t it supposed to be taken after eating? I’m actually quite hungry, I’ll go make something to eat. Cough, cough..."
Gong Chen coughed twice and headed toward the kitchen.
Lin Zhiyi wasn’t fooled, after all, she had brought the person back, whatever was left had nothing to do with her.
She stood up, politely said, "Then I’ll go back now. Uncle, goodbye."
As Lin Zhiyi was about to leave and was putting on her shoes in the round foyer, a noise of a bowl smashing came from the kitchen.
She hesitated for a moment and ran over without even putting on her shoes.
"Uncle..."
As she entered the kitchen, an arm encircled her waist, pulling her tightly into a warm embrace from behind.
The man’s hot breath brushed her ear, he whispered softly, "Weren’t you leaving?"
Lin Zhiyi understood his implication immediately, but she couldn’t help the heat rising in her face. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
