Chapter 260: Chapter 260: You Are Really Understanding Lin Zhiyi crashed into Gong Chenâs shoulder.
Even though the lighting in the bar was dim, she could still feel the manâs gaze lowering onto her.
Something was churning in his quiet, ink-black pupils, but in the end, his Adamâs apple just moved slightly.
"What are you afraid of?"
The manâs voice was low and hoarse, restrained yet holding back force.
Lin Zhiyi lowered her gaze then looked up at him directly, "Juniors are supposed to act this way in front of their elders, arenât they?"
Gong Chenâs piercing eyes were fixed on her, not missing a single tiny change on her face, his gaze was so intense it was overwhelming.
But Lin Zhiyi just looked at him puzzled, without any waves of emotion.
He let out a cold snort in his throat, like self-mockery mixed with other emotions.
But he still didnât let go of her, his face expressionless as he said, "I helped you, shouldnât you help me too? Hm?"
Lin Zhiyi glanced at the woman beside him and nodded in understanding.
"No problem, uncle."
She answered crisply, as if she would assist any man who made such a request.
Gong Chenâs gaze darkened, tightly gripping her wrist.
Lin Zhiyi hissed in pain and said softly, "Uncle, could you please let go a bit, so I can help you?"
"So eager?"
"I donât like being in someoneâs debt. Once itâs repaid, weâre even," Lin Zhiyi said calmly.
fɾeeweÉnѳveÉ.com "Even? Good."
The man carried an inexplicable rage, forcefully pulling Lin Zhiyi into his embrace, his palm pressing directly against her waist.
His eyes lowered, his features deep and somber, yet the corners of his eyes were clearly detached and cold.
"Thereâs no need for such trouble, this is fine. If you..."
"Fine then."
Lin Zhiyi didnât struggle, and even looked provocatively at the other woman.
That infuriated the woman, her chest heaving with emotion, yet she didnât dare to provoke Gong Chen.
Gong Chenâs face did not relax because of Lin Zhiyiâs compliance, but grew even more grim.
Because... only those who donât care would act so unconcerned.
The clients who had wanted to pull Gong Chen to their side using beauty hastened to end their flattery upon noticing his expression, intimidated.
"Third Young Master, Iâll have someone send the contract over tomorrow. Iâm really sorry about today; I didnât know you had company."
"Hmm."
Gong Chen responded coldly.
Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Zhiyi immediately stood up.
"Now that itâs resolved, Iâm leaving too."
"Iâll take you home."
Gong Chen stood up as well.
Lin Zhiyi was buttoning her coat, her voice indifferent, "Thereâs no need. Iâll just take a taxi downstairs."
"Letâs go."
Gong Chen exuded a chilly aura, leaving no room for others to object.
Lin Zhiyi followed him without further argument.
Entering the elevator, Li Huan asked, "Lin Zhiyi, what are you doing here?"
Lin Zhiyiâs eyes curved into a smile, "Mr. Sang and I came here for dinner; he said the view was nice and wanted to show me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire elevator turned icy cold.
Li Huan shrugged his shoulders, subconsciously glancing at the man in front, almost wishing he could slap himself.
Talking too much.
Gong Chen turned his head coldly and gave Lin Zhiyi a glance, his gaze frosty, "He just left you here by yourself?"
Lin Zhiyi quickly explained for Sang Li, "Heâs very busy."
Gong Chenâs eyes were chillingly sharp as he sneered through clenched teeth, "Youâre really understanding."
"Am I? I think so too," Lin Zhiyi said, quite pleased with herself.
"..."
Gong Chen frowned.
Her mouth, whether she had amnesia or not, always managed to infuriate him.
Li Huan couldnât hold back and chuckled.
Gong Chen shot him a murderous glare, and he immediately rubbed his face, "Drank too much."
When the trio stepped out of the hotel and waited for Chen Jin to drive over, a wail of agony came from not too far away.
Lin Zhiyi focused her eyes and saw that the VIP man who had harassed her was being pinned to the ground and beaten, while the people around dared not come forward to rescue him.
The leader landed a punch, and just like that, the VIP manâs nasal bridge was broken.
"Donât touch what you shouldnât," the man warned.
"Yes, yes, I wonât dare again."
The VIP man was nearly kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy, without any of the arrogance he had displayed earlier.
Li Huan let out a sound, "Seems like someone is taking revenge for others."
With that, he even purposefully glanced at Lin Zhiyi and asked, "Doesnât that make you feel a lot better?"
Lin Zhiyi scoffed coldly, "Yeah, I almost want to give the person a banner for punishing the evil and eliminating the villain."
Anyone could hear the sarcasm in her voice.
Li Huan exclaimed in surprise, "Heâs been beaten up like this, arenât you happy? Didnât he harass you just now?"
Lin Zhiyi responded indifferently, "Let me give an inappropriate example, if someone raped another, clearly you could save them on the spot, yet choose to seek revenge after the fact."
"Some people want to be anonymous heroes, some apologize and admit their wrongs, but who is bearing the pain? If it were me, Iâd rather perish together than wait to be saved."
Li Huan was shocked, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Gong Chen.
His face turned even uglier.
Lin Zhiyi turned around and smiled, "So boring, Iâm going to the restroom."
As soon as she left, Li Huan sighed next to Gong Chen.
"She really doesnât remember anything, stop testing her."
Gong Chen pursed his lips, with a flick, lit his lighter and began smoking a cigarette, snapped the lighter shut, and remained silent.
Li Huan pouted, "When did you become so stubborn?"
A moment later, Gong Chen stared in the direction where Lin Zhiyi had gone.
"If I handle Sang Ranâs matter well..."
"What do you want to do?" Li Huanâs face grew serious.
Gong Chen didnât answer.
Several minutes later, Lin Zhiyi came back from the restroom, interrupting their conversation.
"Iâm done. If you have other things to do, I can go back by myself."
Gong Chen put out his cigarette and headed to the car, "Get in."
Lin Zhiyi, feeling that the squabbling was unnecessary, bid farewell to Li Huan and got into the car.
Neither spoke the entire way.
The car stopped beneath her apartment building.
Lin Zhiyi said politely, "Thank you for bringing me back."
As she prepared to get out, her wrist was tightened, and she was pulled back by the man.
Forcing her to make eye contact, the air stilled for a moment as his deep and cold eyes met hers under the carâs interior light, which failed to bring any warmth to his pupils.
Yet the way he looked at her was so straightforward it was terrifying, causing her some anxiety.
"Uncle, please let go of me."
"Donât call me Uncle," Gong Chen said coldly.
Lin Zhiyi moved her hand, feeling the skin he grasped burning up, which was quite uncomfortable for her.
But the more she struggled, the more fearsome the manâs gaze became.
She simply let her hand drop and stared back at Gong Chen, countering, "Then what should I call you? Third Young Master? Thatâs fine too, whatever you feel is appropriate."
"Do you really have to speak to me like this?"
Gong Chenâs intense gaze stayed firmly on Lin Zhiyiâs face.
Lin Zhiyi was full of bewilderment as she responded, "Third Young Master, what do you want?"
Her composure added a touch of disorder to the typically restrained and indifferent manâs eyes.
Unfathomable emotions churned, held back, surging again and again.
In the end, the man raised his hand towards Lin Zhiyiâs cheek, his fingertipâs temperature almost scorched her skin.

Miss Sangâs name appeared prominently.
Lin Zhiyi reminded him expressionlessly, "Third Young Master, Miss Sang is looking for you."
The two remained in a standoff for a few seconds.
Gong Chen leaned close and spoke in a low voice, "Wait for me to come over tomorrow afternoon, I have something to tell you."
