Chapter 82 -82 Do It Yourself

“Whimper, whimper, whimper… I’m so scared, I’m most afraid of the dark, I can’t see… Ah!”

She seemed to trip over something, her footsteps clearly becoming erratic.

From the sound of it, Shen Yan must have lunged in her direction.

And in front of her was Gong Chen.

Shen Yan truly knew how to seize the moment.

Then came the sound of bodies colliding; Shen Yan had actually managed to succeed.

Lin Zhiyi was about to sneer, when suddenly a dark figure blocked her path.

She paused, unable to react, as a familiar scent descended upon her.

Lin Zhiyi was kissed without any defense, even forgetting to flee.

The man’s scent was like the cold air in the winter sunshine, with a warmth that was crisp yet enveloping after a slight Sun bath.

His kiss was not intense, not even half as domineering as before, more like it was meant to seal her lips, his breath chaotic yet restrained.

Lin Zhiyi’s thoughts were pulled back by the wailing coming from the rolling figures on the ground.

Soon after, footsteps of servants echoed from the other end of the corridor, the sight of them holding lit scented candles visible from this vantage point.

As the light drew nearer, Lin Zhiyi panicked, trying to push away the man in front of her, but he steadied her waist and led her into the room.

Click, the door shut and the lock clicked.

Lin Zhiyi was pinned against the wall by the man, his breath raising a moist heat.

As she raised her hand to resist, the man let her go, pressing down on her hand with a controlled force.

“Don’t you know whether I should drink tonic soup?” Gong Chen’s hoarse voice was filled with seduction.

“You…”

Lin Zhiyi was about to speak when a knock sounded at the door.

“Miss Lin, I’ve brought you a candle.”

Gong Chen stared at her, stepped back to stand behind the door, hands in pockets, not caring if he was discovered.

Lin Zhiyi could only grit her teeth and crack open the door, receiving the tray that the maid was holding with the scented candles on it.

She caught a glimpse of the two people who had fallen in the corridor, Song Wanqiu and Shen Yan.

“Shen Yan, get up!”

“Miss Song? You’re here?” Shen Yan blurted out inadvertently.

“What do you mean? If not me, then who?” Song Wanqiu’s voice sharpened quite a bit.

Shen Yan quickly changed her tone, “I thought it was Zhiyi, I heard her just now and she seemed to be right here, I’m sorry, I was too scared, and I tripped, I’ll help you up right away.”

Her humility appeased Song Wanqiu.

As soon as she got up, she started searching for Gong Chen everywhere.

“Third Young Master, Third Young Master…”

Chen Jin also popped out from nowhere, “Miss Song, the Third Young Master is busy with some matters, you should go back and rest.”

Under the candlelight, Song Wanqiu’s face shifted colors, even her shadow cast on the wall seemed somewhat fierce.

In the blink of an eye, she turned to look towards Lin Zhiyi’s room.

Thankfully, Lin Zhiyi reacted quickly, immediately closing the door.

The tray held six scented candles, set at varying heights, the scent was a bit mixed but not unpleasant, Lin Zhiyi even leaned in to take a strong whiff.

Gong Chen, watching from across the room, narrowed his eyes slightly.

The flickering candlelight made Lin Zhiyi’s eyes even more spirited; her fingertips pressed against her hair as she leaned in to smell the scented candle, her lips curled subtly, pure yet alluring.

But on this face, the look seemed to radiate a seductive charm.

Especially with the white silk shirt’s collar slightly open, a few strands of hair falling delicately on her exquisite collarbone, exuding a hint of allure from every pore.

Gong Chen’s breath quickened, and as the firelight teased, he approached Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi, however, stepped back defensively.
