Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Is He Really That Good?

Chapter 61 -61 Is He Really That Good?

Lin Zhiyi didn’t believe Gong Chen would be so bold in front of her at the Gong Family estate, let alone in front of Gong Yan.

So she simply ignored his words and continued to struggle in secret to free herself from her restraints.

As she looked up, she collided with Gong Chen’s ink-black eyes, carrying an invasive and dangerous aura.

Only when his dark eyes grew clearer did she realize that Gong Chen was getting closer, not caring at all that Gong Yan was standing opposite, watching them both.

In the end, Lin Zhiyi panicked, pushing against the encroaching body with her hand and nodding vigorously.

Indicating she agreed to go with him.

Gong Chen stopped and lifted his hand to remove the leaves tangled in her hair.

His voice remained indifferent, “You had something.”

It was then that Lin Zhiyi realized she had been tricked. Her nose wrinkled, but she was helpless.

She could only turn to look at Gong Yan, “Big brother, I have something else to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.”

Gong Yan smiled slightly, “Go on with your work, and remember to rest.”

“Thank you, big brother.”

After speaking, Lin Zhiyi took the opportunity to slip away.

Gong Chen didn’t follow immediately but turned his gaze to Gong Yan, his deep eyes seemingly bottomless.

“Do you have something else?”

“Nothing, Uncle,” Gong Yan slightly lowered his eyes, grinning as he spoke.

“Hmm.”

It was only after Gong Chen left that Gong Yan slowly raised his eyes, staring in the direction the two had departed.

A breeze stirred, carrying his inscrutable gaze with it.

…

Lin Zhiyi walked briskly forward and accidentally stepped on a protruding cobblestone. Her already injured foot twisted yet again, causing her such pain that she sat down on the ground, clutching her ankle.

“Who’s trying to kill you?”

Gong Chen’s voice, tinged with amusement, sounded from behind her.

Lin Zhiyi looked up at the man approaching like an eclipse, glaring straight at him.

Wasn’t it him?

The dew of a night’s ordeal had been resolved, and she had shown him the report confirming she wasn’t pregnant.

What more did he want?

Lin Zhiyi frowned, tried to get up to leave, but the pain struck as soon as she put weight on her foot.

The man’s arm swept up lightly, lifting her securely into his arms.

Lin Zhiyi exclaimed, “You… put me down! People will see!”

“When you were going mad, you weren’t afraid? And now you are?” Gong Chen pinched Lin Zhiyi’s side as he spoke.

Her body went numb, and she slumped into his embrace, her cheeks also warming up by two degrees.

Gong Chen looked down at her for a few seconds, fully aware of her sensitive spots – a light touch was all it took for her to blush uncontrollably.

Under the sunlight, her skin glowed with a slight flush, like fine jade slowly revealing its perfect texture.

Gong Chen narrowed his eyes, his breathing grew tighter, and he quickened his steps involuntarily.

Lin Zhiyi fought in vain, and not daring to call out loudly for help, she shrank her neck in fear of being seen by members of the Gong Family.

When she came back to her senses, she found herself being carried into Gong Chen’s separate courtyard.

She was blankly set down on a Hai Nan Yellow Rosewood sofa, with a screen worth seven million yuan behind her.

The entire space was appropriately minimalist, grand and lofty, yet carried a subdued and reserved ambiance.

Even a dangerous and cold figure like Gong Chen, clad in a suit, didn’t seem out of place; rather, he exuded an imperial air.

But…

As far as Lin Zhiyi knew, Gong Chen disliked others visiting his private courtyard, even the cleaning staff were personally selected by him.

She’d been at the Gong Family home for so long, always pretending to pass by outside the courtyard, secretly checking if he was there.

Thinking of her former girlish fantasies, Lin Zhiyi felt a bit foolish.
