Chapter 88 -88: Listening to Their Affection
Several days later, while Song Wanqiu was targeting Chen Huan, Lin Zhiyi completed her design with a low profile.
Worrying about any mishaps, she personally delivered it to President Yu’s company.
President Yu, stroking the jewelry with satisfaction, lifted an eyebrow and fixed his gaze on Lin Zhiyi, “Don’t you want to know why I’ve placed a separate order for your design?”
Lin Zhiyi was very clear about her place, not asking questions that she shouldn’t ask.
She smiled lightly, “As long as President Yu is happy.”
President Yu, supporting his chin, hinted, “Someone is going to bleed a lot.”
“Hmm? What?” Lin Zhiyi looked at President Yu, not understanding.
Unexpectedly, President Yu shifted the topic, “How did you get here?”
Lin Zhiyi paused, then replied, “I took a taxi.”
President Yu smiled wryly, his eyes showing a hint of ambiguity, “Then I’ll find someone to send you back.”
“No need, no…”
Before Lin Zhiyi could refuse, President Yu called out to the office.
“Have you not finished looking over the contract? If you don’t come out now, our guest might leave.”
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked up toward the office.
The door opened, and a profound figure slowly stepped out.
Lin Zhiyi could not smile at all when she saw who it was.
Gong Chen.
She furrowed her brow and stepped back to maintain distance between them, but President Yu suddenly grabbed her.
President Yu leaned in close to her and whispered, “Why so distant? Then my scented candles would have been lit for nothing.”
As soon as scented candles were mentioned, Lin Zhiyi faintly remembered how she acted in front of Gong Chen, feeling heat over her face.
“I… I didn’t realize you were discussing business, I didn’t mean to interrupt, I’ll be leaving now.”
After speaking, she made her way quickly toward the elevator.
President Yu walked up to Gong Chen, “Aren’t you going to chase her? You’ve scared her. Next time don’t set off fireworks, just use firecrackers instead.”
Gong Chen remained silent and followed Lin Zhiyi’s steps.
Thinking of something, President Yu waved the jewelry at Gong Chen, “Thanks, Third Young Master, remember to have Lin Zhiyi watch tonight’s news report.”
…
At the elevator.
Lin Zhiyi pressed the button several times forcefully, but the elevator wouldn’t budge.
Even the elevator seemed to be against her!
Suddenly, a hand reached from behind her and pressed the elevator button.
Lin Zhiyi’s body stiffened, a powerful presence looming from behind her. She tried to move aside, but the man’s other arm was also pressed against the wall, trapping her with nowhere to escape.
The man’s calm voice rang above her head, “What are you running for?”
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.
What could she run from?
Of course, it was to avoid him, to prevent Song Wanqiu from going crazy.
The elevator doors conveniently opened just then.
With the gap, she immediately squeezed to the side, performing an unfamiliar gesture of politeness.
“Uncle, you seem busy, you go first.”
“You really are becoming more understanding.”
Gong Chen’s eyes turned icy cold, carrying a chill as he stepped into the elevator.
Lin Zhiyi lowered her gaze, not daring to look at him until the elevator doors slowly closed, and she let out a soft sigh of relief.
But the next second, she was pulled into the elevator by force, her body pinned against the wall before she could stabilize herself.
The man pressed close to her body, his stiff suit fabric moving with his breathing, unintentionally rubbing against her.
Lin Zhiyi suppressed her rapid breathing and shrunk back, trying to put some distance between them.
But the more she tried to escape, the closer he pressed.
Until their bodies were tightly pressed together.
“That night, used then forgotten?” Gong Chen’s gaze dropped slightly, his expression cold and his tone deliberate.
Lin Zhiyi blurted out in frustration, “I didn’t use it that night!”
Gong Chen leaned in, matching her height, his dark eyes steady and assured as if he was looking at his prey.
“So you remember after all. I thought you had lost your memory.”
“…”
Lin Zhiyi then realized she had inadvertently admitted to that night’s event.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
She bit her lip, regaining some sense and pointed upwards, “Uncle, there’s a security camera. I advise you not to mess around.”
“Oh?” Gong Chen lifted his gaze, pulled out his phone, tapped a few times, then stared at her again, “Gone.”
“What do you mean?” Lin Zhiyi widened her eyes.
“What do you think?”
Gong Chen’s pupils were as deep as the night…
Inside the office.
President Yu glanced at the message Gong Chen had sent and knew for sure that gifts were not so easy to accept.
She immediately called the surveillance room.
“Turn off the surveillance for the elevator that goes directly to my office.”
“Yes.”
However, the two people in the elevator didn’t do anything.
Or rather, just when Gong Chen was about to do something, his phone rang.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at his phone’s screen, Song Wanqiu.
She looked up at the man who was within arm’s reach and reminded him, “Uncle, your fiancée.”
Gong Chen did not refute nor did he let go of her; he just answered Song Wanqiu’s call.
On the other end of the line, Song Wanqiu’s soft and gentle voice came through.
“Third Young Master, the dress you sent is really beautiful, I really like it, thank you for taking the trouble, President Yu will be wearing my designed piece tonight, I want to take a few promotional photos, so I was thinking of going to the location early, when can you come to pick me up?”
“Right away.” Gong Chen’s voice was very light, without much fluctuation, yet it was comforting.
“I’ll wait for you.”
Song Wanqiu’s voice was sweet and full of anticipation.
And Lin Zhiyi, cornered against the wall, was forced to listen to their loving conversation.
Without mentioning it, she would have forgotten that tonight Gong Chen and President Yu were attending a banquet, which was why President Yu had her deliver the jewelry today.
And Song Wanqiu was Gong Chen’s companion.
But at the moment, while he was on the phone with his fiancée, his hand was caressing Lin Zhiyi’s waist.
Lin Zhiyi was a mix of shame and anger, struggling to raise her hand, but Gong Chen’s grip tightened even more.
He hung up the phone, lifted her chin with one hand, making her unable to look up and meet his gaze.
The overhead light cast a shadow from the hair on his forehead, giving his eyes an added depth.
“Remember to watch the banquet report tonight.”
Report?
Lin Zhiyi took a painful breath when she thought of what Song Wanqiu had said on the phone just now.
Tonight President Yu would be wearing Song Wanqiu’s designed piece at the banquet, and once it was promoted, he wouldn’t be far from achieving fame and success.
And she had so smoothly offered this chance in exchange for her own burn injuries.
No matter in her past life or in this one, Gong Chen had always been using her to benefit Song Wanqiu.
Now he wanted to crush her heart by making her watch Song Wanqiu become famous!
Lin Zhiyi felt a sharp pain throughout her body, as if the flames from a past life were scorching her skin, agonizing her to the bone.
Biting her teeth and not knowing where the strength came from, she forcefully pushed the man in front of her away.
“Aren’t you tired of playing with me? Is it fun?”
At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Lin Zhiyi stormed out angrily.
Afterward, Gong Chen, adjusting his suit, walked out.
Chen Jin had been waiting downstairs for a long time, and upon seeing Lin Zhiyi’s complexion, she knew something was wrong and quickly approached Gong Chen.
“Third Young Master, do you need me to bring Miss Lin back?”
“No need, she won’t listen to anyone when she’s angry.” Gong Chen said indifferently.
“I’m sorry, Third Young Master, about the fireworks incident at the restaurant that day, I really didn’t know, it was the restaurant’s own initiative.”
“Forget it. Let’s go.”
Gong Chen got into the car and left.
Lin Zhiyi took a long breath after getting into the car and pulled out her phone to find that Song Wanqiu, the internet celebrity, was already vigorously promoting her new design.
“Tonight, I will showcase my first piece of work after starting my job, thanks to President Yu’s favor, grateful.”
The comments below were unanimously flattering.
Lin Zhiyi soothed her chest but still felt a tightness in her breath.
Just as she was about to put down her phone, a call from an unfamiliar number came in.
“Miss Lin, the dress you brought in for cleaning last time has been taken care of, can you come to pick it up today?”
It was the dress that Gong Yan had given her for the competition; she liked it very much, but the train had accidentally gotten a stain, so she had sent it for professional cleaning.
“Okay, I’ll come over right away.”
