Chapter 167: Chapter 167 There’s No Need to Rush So Much Chapter 167: Chapter 167 There’s No Need to Rush So Much Lin Zhiyi followed Gong Chen’s gaze and discovered her sweater had snagged on his belt.
He only needed to move slightly, and her clothes would be lifted.
In a panic, Lin Zhiyi reached out to pull her sweater but accidentally touched where she shouldn’t have.
The next second, her wrist was seized by the man.
The man’s lips were tightly pressed together, and in the dim light, his deep allure shone through, like a restrained beast.
He warned in a asured tone, “Don’t move.”
Lin Zhiyi, noticing his physical reaction, widened her eyes, sweat forming on her forehead, and beca even more frantic pulling at her clothes.
“My clothes…”
Snap.
The belt buckle was undone.
“Third Young Master…” Assistant Chen, carrying ergency docunts, witnessed the scene, covered her mouth, turned around, “I didn’t see anything, I’ll co back later.”
Assistant Chen left quickly.
Lin Zhiyi wished she could hide in a hole, eager to just detach the spot where they were stuck.
But the more she tried, the ssier it beca, and in her nervousness, she ended up pulling out a significant length of Gong Chen’s belt.
Suddenly, she felt the man’s gaze on her beco strange.
Gong Chen’s eyes darkened, his smile ambiguous, “There’s no need to rush.”
“Who’s rushing!”
Lin Zhiyi’s scalp tingled, and subconsciously, she bent down to bite the thread but forgot her position was inappropriate.
Watching the woman before him bend over, Gong Chen’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his abdon tightened, and even his breath beca uncontrollable.
He extended his hand to hold her chin, his voice low and magnetic, “Let .”
He found a tiny paper cutter in the bottommost drawer and made a few cuts at the tangled spot.
Once the thread was cut, Lin Zhiyi quickly increased the distance between them.
She looked down at the hole in her sweater, thinking about how to fix it.
From the corner of her eye, she saw the man get up to fasten his belt.
Though it was a sowhat strange movent, he did it lazily and casually.
Lin Zhiyi’s gaze swept over, unavoidably noticing other things…
Suddenly, he paused.
A deep voice ca from above Lin Zhiyi.
“Haven’t you seen it before?”
“I… I was just checking if the belt was damaged! I didn’t look at anything else!” Lin Zhiyi’s tone was slightly explosive, with an inevitably guilty undertone.
Gong Chen, looking down at her from a superior position, his gaze amused, “Or what else did you want to see?”
“…”
Lin Zhiyi felt as if sothing exploded in her brain, realizing she was caught red-handed.
She quickly stood up and pushed him away, “I’m going to the restroom.”
Watching her flee, Gong Chen sat down, ordered a cup of iced water, gulped it down, and closed his eyes.
When Assistant Chen returned, he had already regained his usual cold composure.
“What is it.” Gong Chen put down the cup and spoke indifferently.
Assistant Chen handed over the docunts.
“Third Young Master, you are indeed prescient, by just letting Miss Lin and Liu Xinna create a fuss, we only needed to present evidence against Liu Xinna to eliminate the Liu Family. Now, Old Mr. Gong has no choice but to hand the mine issue over to you.”
“This contains the data managed by Gong Family relatives at the mine these past years; once you handle the incident, you’ll have the actual control of the mine.”
Gong Chen flipped open the file, casting an unpleased glance at Assistant Chen, “No need to ntion irrelevant matters.”
“Yes.”
Outside.
Lin Zhiyi’s face was deathly pale, her eyes tightly shut, swelling with acid, and a trace of blood was bitten unto her lip.
Realizing that Gong Chen was the person wiping out the Liu Family, she wasn’t so angry anymore about Old Mr. Gong pressuring her to drop the lawsuit.
Because her goal was also to eliminate the Liu Family.
Moreover, with her ability, she wasn’t able to walk away unscathed from the whole affair.
But after overhearing their conversation, she understood she was still too naive.
From the mont she intervened in the love triangle involving Liu Xinna, Song Wanqiu, and Li He, everything was under Gong Chen’s control.
It was just a step in his plan to gain actual control of the mine.
So he watched her seek out Liu Xinna and allowed Liu Xinna to tornt her, then he, as a bystander, reaped the benefits of the situation.
At that mont, Lin Zhiyi’s heart felt as if it were being pierced by tens of thousands of steel needles, her throat seed blocked by sothing, and a sense of suffocation tightly controlled her body.
After Chen Jin had left, Lin Zhiyi calmly returned to her seat.
She had just sat down when the flight attendant brought over a al, but she was unable to eat anything.
“I’m not hungry, bring a glass of wine.”
The flight attendant hesitated slightly, glancing at Gong Chen beside her.
Gong Chen looked up and swept his gaze over her, his eyes cold: “Drinking on an empty stomach?”
Lin Zhiyi did not look at him, staring out the window: “It won’t kill .”
Gong Chen waved his hand at the flight attendant and did not have the wine brought to Lin Zhiyi.
He showed a rare bit more patience, pointing to the al on the table: “Eat sothing first, it’s almost ti for you to take your dicine.”
Getting contaminated water into the lungs was no small matter, and even though Lin Zhiyi had been discharged from the hospital, Li Huan had prescribed her several days of consolidating dication.
But it needed to be taken after a al.
To her surprise, Gong Chen still rembered.
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, restraining her wild thoughts.
Regardless of whether Gong Chen felt guilty or sothing else, he was rely using her.
She coldly turned away from the docunt in his hand: “Uncle has a myriad of duties to manage, my affairs shouldn’t bother him.”
Gong Chen frowned, stood up, and walked over to her seat, suddenly grasping her chin and forcibly lifting it.
“Eat by yourself, or shall I feed you?”
Lin Zhiyi clenched her teeth, holding her ground against him.
It wasn’t until she noticed the flight attendant secretly observing from behind a curtain that she bit her lip and picked up the spoon.
Gong Chen knew she hated being seen by others when they were overly intimate.
If it got back to Old Mr. Gong’s ears, neither Liu He nor she would have good days ahead.
Yet, he only pressed her harder!
Lin Zhiyi ate a few bites reluctantly and then pushed the plate aside.
After taking her dicine, she lay back slightly.
A while later, Gong Chen closed the docunt and turned to look at her: “Want so fruit?”
She said nothing.
Even without looking at him, she knew he was not pleased.
At that mont, Gong Chen’s phone rang with the distinctive sound of a WeChat notification.
He glanced at the ssage and stood up, leaving the first-class cabin.
Under the influence of the dication, Lin Zhiyi felt groggy, and just as she was about to close her eyes, she heard the flight attendants whispering behind her.
“Third Young Master is so thoughtful. Miss Song got a small cut from a knife and fork, and he’s so worried about such a minor wound. Knowing Miss Song was on a business trip and didn’t want special treatnt, he simply stayed with her in business class.”
“Online they say the two of them are soon to be engaged; seems like it’s true. But who is that in the first-class cabin? They seem… quite close.”
“Third Young Master said it’s a relative, just looking after her.”
The two thought Lin Zhiyi was asleep, so they did not mind her.
Lin Zhiyi listened to the voices that seed both near and far, suddenly opening her eyes, her eyes full of self-mockery.
How could she have forgotten?
The one who truly ca out of the ordeal with Liu Xinna unscathed was not her but Song Wanqiu.
Even though Gong Chen knew that Song Wanqiu had betrayed him, he still cared deeply for her.
The eternal bright moon, always the most lethal.
Until they disembarked in Shan City, Gong Chen did not return to the first-class cabin.
After Lin Zhiyi got up, Chen Jin ca over.
“Miss Lin, let help you with your luggage; you can go straight to…”
Lin Zhiyi interrupted: “Assistant Chen, no need, I’m not that delicate, and please stop pretending to be good people.”
“…”
Chen Jin was startled, just about to explain, but Lin Zhiyi had already followed the other passengers off the plane.
