Chapter 460: Chapter 460: n Need to Be Coaxed
Two days later.
Sang Ran’s funeral was very low-profile.
Lin Zhiyi had to take care of Xingxing and couldn’t go to Hai City.
Gong Chen went.
As the nominal son-in-law of the Sang Family, he had to go both emotionally and rationally.
At least he couldn’t let Mr. Sang and Sang Li lose face in front of others.
On the day he left, Xingxing was a little reluctant, and it took so coaxing before letting him go.
Before leaving, Gong Chen stood at the door of the ward and looked at Lin Zhiyi.
“Nothing you want to say?”
“Be careful on the road,” Lin Zhiyi casually advised.
“That’s it?”
“What else?”
“Hmm.”
Gong Chen closed the door and left.
Lin Zhiyi was preparing breakfast for Xingxing and raised her eyes to et Xingxing’s gaze.
Xingxing rested his chin and stared at Lin Zhiyi.
“What’s wrong? Did I say sothing wrong?”
Xingxing covered his mouth and laughed, obediently eating breakfast.
There was no news from Gong Chen all day.
Maybe the funeral was too busy.
…
Cetery.
After greeting the guests.
Sang Li noticed Gong Chen was constantly checking his phone and slowly approached.
“Thanks for today.”
Privately, he had explained to others that Gong Chen and Sang Ran had long separated.
Gong Chen didn’t have to co.
But his presence was a final gesture of dignity for Sang Ran.
“Hmm.” Gong Chen put away his phone.
“How is Xingxing?” Sang Li asked with concern.
“About to be discharged.”
“That’s good.”
Sang Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Both quietly looked at Sang Ran’s tombstone in the distance.
Everything seed like a passing shadow.
After a mont, Sang Li’s low voice sounded.
“Third Young Master, be careful. Xiao Ran’s phone is missing. I sent soone to the hospital to look for it and found that the surveillance was deliberately tampered with. Since Xiao Ran didn’t intend to hit Zhiyi, I don’t think she would go out of her way to erase the surveillance.”
“What’s on her phone?” Gong Chen’s eyes darkened.
“I don’t know. I’m still looking for soone to check her cloud storage, but she encrypted it, seemingly intending to hide it from even . But my intuition tells it must be related to you, or why would anyone go through so much trouble to take her phone?”
“A cellphone is a personal item. Whoever knew there was sothing on it must be…”
Gong Chen left it at that.
Sang Li wasn’t stupid: “Wen Qing didn’t co today, saying she was too heartbroken and fell ill, going to Switzerland for recuperation.”
Gong Chen let out a cold chuckle.
“Afraid I might say sothing?”
Gong Chen glanced towards Chen Jin in the distance.
Chen Jin handed over the materials from the Chinese dicine clinic.
“Take a look.”
Sang Li opened the materials and his face turned cold.
“Xiao Ran grew up under her watch, yet she beca a tool to please the old man. Does she really think hiding away will keep her safe?”
“The pregnant woman is also unreachable,” Gong Chen continued.
Sang Li’s face looked even worse: “Everything is as you predicted.”
“No need to trouble finding Wen Qing, soone will help you find her. The real show is yet to co.”
As the words fell, Gong Chen’s phone buzzed, and he imdiately took out his phone to look.
Spam ssage, he put it down again.
Sang Li said softly: “Waiting for news from Zhiyi?”
“No.”
“You two always like to have hard mouths.” Sang Li nodded, “I’ll go check on my dad, you’re on your own.”
“Hmm.”
After Sang Li left, Gong Chen looked at the empty chat interface and frowned.
Lin Zhiyi is impressive.
If he doesn’t reach out to her, she wouldn’t think of him.
These past few days of kissing and hugging were just him entertaining himself.
…
Hospital.
Liao Yi was gnawing on a drumstick, looking up to see Lin Zhiyi almost mashing her rice with her chopsticks.
She wiped her hands, leaned closer, and whispered, “Zhiyi, who are you thinking about?”
“Thinking about…”
Lin Zhiyi imdiately snapped back to reality, realizing she almost got trapped into answering.
“What are you thinking about? Eat.”
Lin Zhiyi picked up her bowl to eat.
Liao Yi suppressed a laugh, “Zhiyi, haven’t I told you earlier that n need coaxing? Soone like Third Young Master, who seems indifferent, is actually very easy to coax.”
“So experienced? Have you dated before?” Lin Zhiyi poked the issue.
Liao Yi pouted, her cheeks turning red: “No, I haven’t.”
Lin Zhiyi sensed sothing off: “Why are you blushing if you haven’t? Are you secretly dating soone?”
“Ridiculous!”
Liao Yi’s voice suddenly heightened, even jumping up from the sofa.
Such a strong reaction, who would believe it’s not true?
Lin Zhiyi stopped eating, curiously asking, “Who is it? Do I know them? You’ve been with us recently, the n around …”
“Wait! We were discussing you and Third Young Master, why drag into this?”
Liao Yi blinked guiltily, pulling the conversation back to the previous topic.
“Zhiyi, based on my years of reading manga, n like Third Young Master—restrained, dangerous—are actually very… restless inside.”
“Just a touch of the hand, a little kiss here and there, he’d give you everything.”
“Zhiyi, trust , this trick always works.”
Lin Zhiyi raised an eyebrow, smirking without smiling: “You like Chen Jin? You’re using as a gift to curry favor with Third Young Master? Liao Yi, I really misjudged you!”
“No, no! I just rembered I have things to do, take your ti eating, I’m leaving first.”
Liao Yi’s eyes darted around, suddenly the drumstick wasn’t appealing anymore; she quickly packed up and dashed off with her bag.
Lin Zhiyi chuckled.
She saw Xingxing had finished eating, tidied up, then told Xingxing a story for a while.
Xingxing needed more rest now, and soon fell asleep.
Lin Zhiyi went to take a shower, returned, and lay idly on the hospital bed.
She looked at the bare phone screen, pursing her lips.
Manga?
That powerful?
She decided to check it out.
She opened the manga app Liao Yi used, casually clicked on a manga from the charts to begin reading.
…
Liao Yi clutching her bag ran to the door of the doctor’s office, poked her head inside for a look.
Li Huan previously took leave to handle Li He’s funeral and went back to look after his mother.
So lately, he was so busy he only had ti for bread.
Without looking up, he munched on his bread, “Co in, what do you need?”
“Doctor Li, why are you just eating bread? Here, I brought you a al.”
Liao Yi took out a brand new lunchbox from her bag, opening it to reveal delicious ho-cooked dishes.
Li Huan almost choked on his bread: “Did you… drug it? I’m a staunch celibate.”
Liao Yi glared at him, slamming the chopsticks on the table.
“Can you think better of ?”
Li Huan picked up the chopsticks, grabbing a bite of at and stuffing it in his mouth: “Spill it, what do you want?”
“Well, as you know, since ancient tis, unmarried n and unmarried won…”
“Pah.” Li Huan spit the at from his mouth, hugged himself, “I saw you as a brother, are you trying to woo ?”
“What woo, do you think you’re tea? Who said I want to woo you?” Liao Yi retorted.
“Done for, you’re trying to woo Chen Jin!” Li Huan blurted out.
“Why do you all guess him?” Liao Yi muttered.
“Not him? Then who? You’re not daring enough to fancy… Mr. Sang.”
“Zhou Zhao.”
Finally, both spoke at once, mutually disdainful.
Li Huan looked Liao Yi up and down: “Possessed? You like Zhou Zhao?”
Liao Yi pouted: “Can’t I?”
“What do you like about him?”
“Looks good, great build.”
“Can you not be so shallow?” Li Huan rubbed his brow.
“I’m a shallow person.” Liao Yi asserted confidently.
“You have no chance.”
“Why?”
“He likes long legs.” Li Huan looked at Liao Yi’s legs.
“My love… gone.” Liao Yi wasn’t deeply heartbroken, she was rely bewitched by appearance.
“Your lunch is also gone.”
Li Huan started devouring the al hungrily.
When Liao Yi tried to snatch the lunchbox, there was a knock at the door behind her.
