Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Wedding Favors Third Young Master Gongâs head turned to the other side, but he didnât let go of Lin Zhiyiâs hand.
Lin Zhiyi, feeling both angry and humiliated, shook her hand vigorously, but couldnât break free.
Her pale face, under the influence of alcohol, radiated a strange flush.
She tried to breathe deeply, striving to appear calm, but her reddened eyes and trembling shoulders betrayed her.
She clenched her fists, "You all clearly look down on me! Yet you repeatedly use your status and power to oppress me! How far do you want to push me before you will let me go?"
"I will solve it."
The manâs voice was consistently cold and arrogant, always carrying an air of utter control.
"Solve it? Your solution is to force me to yield! To make me a stepping stone for your fiancée! To have me humiliated by the Gong Family! What exactly have you ever solved?" she asked bitterly.
Lin Zhiyi slightly raised her face to look at Gong Chen, her eyes glistening with moisture, her stunningly ethereal face filled with desperation, painfully touching.
"Uncle, if it was wrong to secretly admire and look up to you in my youth, I admit my mistake, I will change. You have also saved me, I have no complaints, but please let me go!"
As she spoke, she stood in the wind, her hair fluttering, so vividly alive, yet seeming as if she would shatter in the next second.
In her clear eyes, there was no longer any trace of him.
Having said her piece, Lin Zhiyi turned around.
However, her wrist was forcefully grasped, and the man pulled her back with strength.
A pair of deep eyes gazed at her, the usually calm and cool person now turbulent with emotions, as if there was something desperate to vent from his eyes.
"Did I say you could leave?"
"What exactly do you want!" Lin Zhiyi gasped in frustration.
"It was you who provoked me first, how this ends, I decide."
"You bastard!"
Lin Zhiyi tried to raise her hand again, but he firmly grasped it, pulling her entire body into his arms.
No matter how much she struggled, he wouldnât let go.
Gong Chen lightly stroked her back, saying in a deep voice, "If you donât want a terrible headache tomorrow, stop making a fuss."
Getting chilled from the drink, even Lin Zhiyiâs high tolerance couldnât withstand, her mind felt jammed, and her entire body slumped.
Gong Chen carried her back to the house in the city center.
Upon entering, Chen Jin immediately took an ice pack from the refrigerator and handed it to him.
"Third Young Master, apply it to your face first, otherwise it will swell."
Lin Zhiyi, having drunk, didnât watch her strength, and one slap had left a mark on Gong Chenâs face.
Gong Chen first took Lin Zhiyi back to her room, then took the ice pack from his hand.
Chen Jin looked at Gong Chen with a face full of apology, "Third Young Master, I am sorry, itâs my fault for not handling things well in Shan City, causing... "
At the mention of this, Chen Jinâs fists clenched.
That Li He, wearing Li Huanâs clothes, had made him lower his guard, causing him not to bring Lin Zhiyi to Gong Chen right away.
"Where is he?"
A chilling coldness radiated from Gong Chenâs deep black eyes.
Chen Jin bowed his head, "Heâs been detained by Li Huan under the pretense of injury, do you need me to bring him to you?"
Gong Chen pinched the ice pack expressionlessly, "No rush to die this very moment."
"But Miss Song is pregnant, what about Miss Lin?"
Gong Chen slowly raised his eyes to the bedroom door, his obsidian eyes filled with frost, devoid of any warmth.
"Itâs irrelevant to her, keep her away from Wanqiu."
"Yes."
Inside the bedroom.
Lin Zhiyi gripped the doorknob tightly, then seemed to lose strength suddenly, her shoulders drooping.
She was awakened by thirst, and just as she reached the doorway, she heard Chen Jinâs question.
Song Wanqiu was pregnant, what should she do.
After hearing Gong Chenâs answer, Lin Zhiyi lowered her head and let out a self-mocking laugh.
An answer so unsurprisingly in her favor, in his heart, whatever Song Wanqiu did was right, while she was like a vile woman, always troubling Song Wanqiu.
At that moment, footsteps came from outside, Lin Zhiyi regained her composure, lay back down on the bed, and closed her eyes.
Soon, a subdued look appeared on her body.
The man had been watching her for a long time. Only when a warm towel touched her cheek did she realize he was wiping her face for her.
After wiping her face, her palm was spread open, and when the towel touched it, her fingertips trembled.
freeweÉnovÄl.coɱ Gong Chen looked at Lin Zhiyiâs reddened palms, feeling both annoyed and amused.
He looked at the person pretending to be asleep on the bed and said in a low voice, "The one who got hit didnât even cry out in pain, yet you know how to feel pain."
Caught in the act, Lin Zhiyi forcefully withdrew her hand, turned over, and continued to keep her eyes shut.
Gong Chen placed the towel on the bedside and sat down by the bed.
"When did you become so difficult to deal with?"
"..."
"Playing dumb?"
"..."
Lin Zhiyi had a severe headache and lacked the energy to argue with him.
Suddenly, she felt the bed dip behind her, as the manâs body pressed against her and forcefully turned her over.
Lin Zhiyiâs gaze slightly lifted and met Gong Chenâs eyes. She stared intently at him, her long eyelashes moist, while she forcefully suppressed the tears in her eyes.
She didnât speak, yet her eyes conveyed all her grievances and resentments.
Gong Chenâs expression darkened, and after a long pause, he said coolly, "Thereâs water on the bedside table."
Then, he got up and left the room.
Lin Zhiyi stared at the water on the bedside, feeling a painful blockage in her throat.
Gong Chen sat on the sofa all night, the ashtray filled with cigarette butts.
...
The next morning.
Lin Zhiyi was awakened by Xue Manâs apologetic text message.
"Zhiyi, sorry about last night. You drank a lot too, right? Rest well this morning, and weâll meet in the afternoon."
"Okay."
After putting down her phone, Lin Zhiyiâs headache was about to explode, and her head heavily fell back onto the pillow.
Suddenly, the distinct scent of masculinity hit her nose.
She looked around and realized this was Gong Chenâs spacious apartment in the center of the city.
This place was close to the Gong Group, and he spent most of his time living here.
Suddenly, there was some noise outside the door; Lin Zhiyi immediately got up, and it took a moment for her to steady herself after feeling dizzy.
She walked out of the room, crossed the hallway, and stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the high-ceilinged living room, where she saw Chen Jin busy at the dining table.
Chen Jin noticed her and immediately put down the cutlery: "Miss Lin, youâre awake, come and have breakfast."
"I donât need to, Iâll go back..."
Before she could finish, her stomach embarrassingly growled.
Chen Jin saw Lin Zhiyiâs embarrassment: "Third Young Master has gone to the office. Iâm just here to bring you breakfast."
Assured that Gong Chen wasnât there, Lin Zhiyi sat down to eat.
Chen Jin turned to pour her a glass of water and handed her the hangover medicine.
"Thank you," Lin Zhiyi expressed her gratitude.
After a few minutes of silence, Chen Jin couldnât hold back and directly said, "Why didnât Miss Lin look for Third Young Master that day? Do you know..."
Lin Zhiyi looked up at him: "Know what? Assistant Chen, Song Wanqiu is already pregnant. Itâs something they both agreed on."
"No!" Chen Jin started to say but hesitated, his expression serious. After a long pause, he continued, "Sorry, I shouldnât have spoken out of turn."
Lin Zhiyi put down her chopsticks, swallowed the hangover medicine, and said coldly, "Assistant Chen, if youâre worried that Iâll trouble Miss Song, rest assured, not only will I not do that, but Iâll even wish them happiness. Iâm leaving now."
She turned around and left the house.
...
Lin Zhiyi went back to her apartment and slept for a while before heading to her studio in the afternoon.
As soon as she reached her desk, she noticed a deluxe gift box placed on it.
"Zhiyi, thatâs the wedding favor Third Young Master and I prepared."
