Chapter 260: Chapter 260: You Are Really Understanding Chapter 260: Chapter 260: You Are Really Understanding Lin Zhiyi crashed into Gong Chen’s shoulder.
Even though the lighting in the bar was dim, she could still feel the man’s gaze lowering onto her.
Sothing was churning in his quiet, ink-black pupils, but in the end, his Adam’s apple just moved slightly.
“What are you afraid of?”
The man’s 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, aren’t they?”
Gong Chen’s 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 didn’t let go of her, his face expressionless as he said, “I helped you, shouldn’t you help 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 Chen’s 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 don’t like being in soone’s debt. Once it’s repaid, we’re even,” Lin Zhiyi said calmly.
“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.
“There’s no need for such trouble, this is fine. If you…”
“Fine then.”
Lin Zhiyi didn’t struggle, and even looked provocatively at the other woman.
That infuriated the woman, her chest heaving with emotion, yet she didn’t dare to provoke Gong Chen.
Gong Chen’s face did not relax because of Lin Zhiyi’s compliance, but grew even more grim.
Because… only those who don’t 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, I’ll have soone send the contract over tomorrow. I’m really sorry about today; I didn’t know you had company.”
“Hmm.”
Gong Chen responded coldly.
Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Zhiyi imdiately stood up.
“Now that it’s resolved, I’m leaving too.”
“I’ll take you ho.”
Gong Chen stood up as well.
Lin Zhiyi was buttoning her coat, her voice indifferent, “There’s no need. I’ll just take a taxi downstairs.”
“Let’s go.”
Gong Chen exuded a chilly aura, leaving no room for others to object.
Lin Zhiyi followed him without further argunt.
Entering the elevator, Li Huan asked, “Lin Zhiyi, what are you doing here?”
Lin Zhiyi’s eyes curved into a smile, “Mr. Sang and I ca here for dinner; he said the view was nice and wanted to show .”
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, “He’s very busy.”
Gong Chen’s eyes were chillingly sharp as he sneered through clenched teeth, “You’re 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 couldn’t hold back and chuckled.
Gong Chen shot him a murderous glare, and he imdiately 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 ca 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 co forward to rescue him.
The leader landed a punch, and just like that, the VIP man’s nasal bridge was broken.
“Don’t touch what you shouldn’t,” the man warned.
“Yes, yes, I won’t dare again.”
The VIP man was nearly kneeling on the ground, begging for rcy, without any of the arrogance he had displayed earlier.
Li Huan let out a sound, “Seems like soone is taking revenge for others.”
With that, he even purposefully glanced at Lin Zhiyi and asked, “Doesn’t 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 exclaid in surprise, “He’s been beaten up like this, aren’t you happy? Didn’t he harass you just now?”
Lin Zhiyi responded indifferently, “Let give an inappropriate example, if soone raped another, clearly you could save them on the spot, yet choose to seek revenge after the fact.”
“So people want to be anonymous heroes, so apologize and admit their wrongs, but who is bearing the pain? If it were , I’d 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, I’m going to the restroom.”
As soon as she left, Li Huan sighed next to Gong Chen.
“She really doesn’t rember 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 beco so stubborn?”
A mont later, Gong Chen stared in the direction where Lin Zhiyi had gone.
“If I handle Sang Ran’s matter well…”
“What do you want to do?” Li Huan’s face grew serious.
Gong Chen didn’t answer.
Several minutes later, Lin Zhiyi ca back from the restroom, interrupting their conversation.
“I’m 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 apartnt building.
Lin Zhiyi said politely, “Thank you for bringing 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 mont as his deep and cold eyes t hers under the car’s 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 so anxiety.
“Uncle, please let go of .”
“Don’t call 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 fearso the man’s gaze beca.
She simply let her hand drop and stared back at Gong Chen, countering, “Then what should I call you? Third Young Master? That’s fine too, whatever you feel is appropriate.”
“Do you really have to speak to like this?”
Gong Chen’s intense gaze stayed firmly on Lin Zhiyi’s face.
Lin Zhiyi was full of bewildernt as she responded, “Third Young Master, what do you want?”
Her composure added a touch of disorder to the typically restrained and indifferent man’s eyes.
Unfathomable emotions churned, held back, surging again and again.
In the end, the man raised his hand towards Lin Zhiyi’s cheek, his fingertip’s temperature almost scorched her skin.
However, the next second, the phone on the car seat lit up.
Miss Sang’s na 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 to co over tomorrow afternoon, I have sothing to tell you.”
