Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Third Brother
anwhile, Lin Zhiyi picked up a very peculiar scent of perfu beneath her nose.
It was faint, yet it captured one’s attention in an instant.
This was the first ti Lin Zhiyi had ever slled such a fragrance; it did not seem like the kind of perfu found at an ordinary counter, but rather like one that had been custom-made for soone.
However… would soone who uses such high-end perfu be shopping at a regular supermarket?
With curiosity, Lin Zhiyi slightly turned her head to look.
A delicate and sculpted beautiful visage appeared, cool and indifferent.
Even the act of pinching a toothpick to try food seed as if she was handling so expensive jewelry.
Noticing Lin Zhiyi’s gaze, the woman turned her head and raised an eyebrow.
“Is there sothing you need?” she asked indifferently, with a tone that revealed no emotion.
Lin Zhiyi quickly snapped out of it and offered an awkward smile: “No.”
The woman took a bite of the bread on her toothpick: “Not bad, I’ll take so.”
Seeing how the woman was dressed, the clerk hastily packed three large bags into her shopping basket.
Lin Zhiyi glanced over and reminded: “Are you going to eat all this yourself?”
The woman looked at her: “Is there a problem?”
“They’re about to expire,” Lin Zhiyi pointed at the yellow label.
The woman glanced at the date on the bags; they would expire in two days. The clerk definitely knew this, yet he still packed so many for her.
The clerk, whose little trick was exposed, sheepishly removed two bags.
Seeing the matter resolved, Lin Zhiyi pushed her cart around and planned to wait for Sister Zhou up front.
Unexpectedly, the woman called out to her.
“Wait a minute.”
Lin Zhiyi stopped and looked at the woman with an inquisitive gaze.
“Ren Xiya, thank you for just now.”
The woman extended her hand with a smile, but the smile was very shallow.
It made people feel that she wasn’t truly grateful.
However, Lin Zhiyi was certain she did not know this woman.
But out of politeness, she still lightly shook the woman’s hand.
“Lin Zhiyi, no need to be courteous.”
“May we et again, if fate allows.”
The woman waved goodbye and left behind a faint scent of her perfu.
Lin Zhiyi stood there feeling sowhat bewildered.
Just then, Sister Zhou ca over carrying two big jugs of juice.
“Why are you standing here like a fool?”
“It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
Lin Zhiyi did not dwell on this encounter and continued supermarket shopping with Sister Zhou.
Elsewhere.
Ren Xiya parked her cart to the side, donned her sunglasses, and walked out of the supermarket.
As she took a few steps, Chen Jin suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Miss Ren, please wait a mont.”
Ren Xiya half removed her sunglasses and chuckled: “I was wondering when you would find .”
Chen Jin did not beat around the bush and politely gestured for her to follow.
Ren Xiya put her sunglasses back on and followed Chen Jin to a platform in the supermarket’s parking lot.
At that ti, there was another man standing on the platform.
His dark silhouette, slightly disheveled hair, all exuding an aura of solemnity and danger.
Despite being prepared, Ren Xiya still took a cautious breath before approaching the man.
The man slowly turned around; his deep-set features and scrutinizing eyes held a chill that even the midday sun could not dispel.
He flicked the ash from his cigarette: “You shouldn’t have gone after her.”
Ren Xiya chuckled lightly and pulled out a slim cigarette from her bag, lighting it between her lips.
“Shouldn’t I co and see who my rival is? How else could I confront her?”
“Isn’t that right? Third Young Master, or rather… Brother Gong.”
As she spoke, she casually blew out a puff of smoke, her tone thick with sarcasm.
Gong Chen glanced at the cigarette in her hand and said in a deep voice: “Stay away from her.”
With the cigarette between her fingers, Ren Xiya licked her red lips: “I didn’t believe those rumors at first, but it seems Brother Gong is quite devoted. What am I to do now? I’ve begun to feel jealous of her, haha…”
She turned and walked away.
Chen Jin raised his hand to stop her.
“Let her go,” Gong Chen gestured with his hand.
Ren Xiya stopped laughing: “Third Young Master, see you tomorrow.”
After everyone left, Chen Jin imdiately ca forward: “I have already assigned more people to follow Miss Lin.”
Gong Chen didn’t speak, quietly smoking.
At this mont, several people briskly ran into the parking lot.
“Hurry, there’s been a car accident at the supermarket entrance, and I heard that the ones hit were two very young won.”
“I saw it; one of the won could have avoided it, but her hand was injured and she couldn’t stand up at all, such a pity…”
Hearing this, Chen Jin imdiately looked at Gong Chen.
But there was no one in sight.
…
Lin Zhiyi and Sister Zhou had just co out of the supermarket with their items when a van ca barreling towards them.
They had no ti to dodge; unexpectedly, soone else was also frightened and pushed their shopping cart out.
After the van hit the shopping cart, it violently swerved and crashed into the two won who were waiting on the side.
One of the won had her arm in a cast and couldn’t run away in ti after falling; she was trapped under the car in an instant.
People around quickly ca forward to help lift the car.
Fortunately, the car wasn’t moving fast, and the two won were not seriously injured.
In a daze, Lin Zhiyi saw blood on the ground, her heart constricted, and her mind was filled with images of her hand being smashed and rendered useless by the riverbank.
She involuntarily stepped back, her body being jostled by the crowd rushing out of the supermarket.
She didn’t even know who tripped her, causing her to fall backward uncontrollably.
In the chaos, soone squeezed into the crowd, wrapped their arms around her and led her out.
“Are you okay?”
The man’s breath was slightly uneven, gripping Lin Zhiyi’s waist tightly.
She looked at him and frowned: “Yes.”
“Where?” Gong Chen suddenly raised his voice.
“My waist hurts.” Lin Zhiyi raised her hand and slapped the hand on her waist, “Let go.”
“Let’s go back first.”
Gong Chen’s hand remained motionless, squeezing even tighter.
The warmth of his palm was burning Lin Zhiyi’s skin, making her irritated.
“Let go first,” she stressed, struggling.
Gong Chen stared at her for a few seconds, his ink-dark eyes unfathomably deep.
“I knew you wouldn’t listen.”
“Then why did you… huh!” Lin Zhiyi’s body suddenly lifted up, making her gasp involuntarily, “Put down!”
“It’s too congested ahead, let’s go through the side door.”
Gong Chen carried her straight past the onlookers, exiting through the side door.
Just as they walked out, Chen Jin had already parked the car in front of them.
Gong Chen put her down, pulled open the car door: “Get in.”
Lin Zhiyi didn’t want to talk to him more and turned to leave.
He raised his hand to prop the car door open, encircling her within.
Lin Zhiyi retreated to the edge of the door, raising her eyes to et the man’s complex gaze.
The depths of his eyes held a swirling storm, yet it seed he was approaching her cautiously, tentatively.
Finally, he slightly lowered his gaze, raspy voice saying: “It’s too dangerous for you out here, I’ll take you back.”
Dangerous?
Lin Zhiyi found his words ludicrous when she heard them.
Wasn’t all the danger she faced brought by him?
She emotionlessly pushed away the hand in front of her, walking away directly.
Gong Chen suddenly gripped her unhurt hand.
Lin Zhiyi turned her head to look at him sarcastically: “Third Young Master, are you trying to ruin my other hand as well?”
Gong Chen’s fingers tightened, holding onto the person in his palm, yet he had to let go reluctantly.
“Be careful on the road…”
“…”
Lin Zhiyi didn’t give him the chance to finish his sentence, turning and leaving without looking back.
Gong Chen stared at her retreating figure for a long ti.
So long that soone sitting in a car across the street was watching him without him even being aware of it.
Inside the car.
Ren Xiya removed her sunglasses and mocked coldly: “Haha, what’s it’s like bearing the Gong surna, huh?”
