Go to the hospital?
Lin Zhiyi’s thoughts snapped back, and she hurriedly grabbed Gong Chen, swallowing hard: "No, no, it’s nothing, we don’t need to go to the hospital, I’ll just drink some water."
Going to the hospital would be too embarrassing.
Gong Chen said nothing, just pulled her to the side bar, poured a cup of warm water, and brought it to her lips.
Lin Zhiyi paused for a moment: "I’ll do it myself."
Only then did she notice her hand had been held by him the entire time.
When she moved her hand, he tightened his grip even more.
The man slowly lifted his eyelids, his gaze meeting hers.
His eyes were passionate, scorching, even obsessive.
But after a tumult of emotions, he just stared deeply at Lin Zhiyi, then gradually released her hand.
So controlled that his fingertips were somewhat stiff.
Lin Zhiyi’s chest tightened, and she forced herself to calmly take the cup of water.
"Thank you."
"You’re really polite."
Gong Chen stepped back, leaning against the bar, his eyes slightly downcast, his voice tinged with barely discernible self-mockery.
Lin Zhiyi looked down at the cup of water, not knowing what to say.
Gong Chen took out a pack of cigarettes: "Have you chosen a school?"
"I’ve decided to go to..."
Lin Zhiyi named the school that Sang Li had chosen for her.
Besides not wanting to continue being involved with Gong Chen, she had also made a comprehensive consideration.
The school had reasonable tuition fees, and the new courses were more suitable for her future development.
Dreams are dreams, but she had to consider reality too.
She couldn’t afford several million.
"Do you like him that much?"
Gong Chen’s hand paused as he was lighting the cigarette, then ignited it, his lips holding the cigarette, a flicker of scarlet light visible through the thin smoke, his dark eyes churning with emotions Lin Zhiyi couldn’t understand.
By the time she reacted, he was already standing in front of her, his body slightly leaning towards her, his handsome features becoming clearer.
His domineering presence closed in on her step by step.
Lin Zhiyi originally wanted to explain, but seeing him like this, she felt there was no need.
He had always liked controlling her.
"You want to force me again? Is this the only thing Third Young Master knows how to do? Let me tell you, I will never regret my choice!"
The last sentence, she practically shouted out.
Her voice echoed above them, the man’s posture unchanged, his Adam’s apple moving subtly twice, his dark eyes drowning in darkness, a slight smile on his lips.
"As you wish."
"..."
Lin Zhiyi thought she had heard wrong when she was about to speak; he had already turned and walked towards the dining table.
It was as if a cold breeze had blown past in front of her, dispersing his lingering presence and the scent of tobacco, leaving not a trace.
Even though they were so close to each other, they seemed to be getting farther and farther apart.
Good then.
Since it’s been said, slowly becoming strangers might as well be a good ending.
Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to relax, she noticed a half-smoked cigarette rolling on the floor.
From the cross-section, it was clearly forcibly crushed.
She was somewhat in a daze.
Suddenly, she heard a thud by her ear.
Turning her head, she saw Gong Chen tossing the sandwich, along with the plate, into the trash can.
"What are you doing?" Lin Zhiyi exclaimed in astonishment.
"It’s too bad to eat."
Gong Chen had just spoken when a rumbling sound came between them...
Lin Zhiyi looked down at the man.
Gong Chen narrowed his dangerous eyes: "What are you looking at?"
Lin Zhiyi shook her head and quickly averted her gaze.
What was there to be embarrassed about?
Being hungry is only natural.
Considering he saved her yesterday, Lin Zhiyi changed her mind and said, "I’ll make something else."
"I’ve been busy with the company recently and forgot to have someone go shopping; the fridge is empty," Gong Chen explained.
"Then have Assistant Chen bring some?"
"He’s busy with something and can’t come over for the time being."
Such a coincidence?
Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen hesitantly.
He picked up the medicine left by Li Huan on the table and said in a low voice, "Take it after eating."
By now, what didn’t Lin Zhiyi understand?
"I’ll order takeout."
"There are dietary restrictions with the medication..." Gong Chen pointed at the note under the medicine box left by Li Huan.
You never know what science and hard work have been put into takeout.
Lin Zhiyi was pinching a plate when she suddenly remembered something. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
