Chapter 430: Chapter 430 You Will Only Harm Him

The phone slowly angled upward, revealing the man’s face.

Liu He froze, then said awkwardly, "Th—Third Young Master? You’re here too."

Gong Chen skipped the pleasantries and said directly, "Your concerns won’t happen."

Liu He bit his lip and continued, "Third Young Master, their mother-daughter lives have just started to improve. Please don’t force them."

"I know," Gong Chen promised.

Seeing the child nearby, Liu He said nothing more, greeted Xingxing briefly, and hung up the phone.

Lin Zhiyi retrieved her phone and pushed Gong Chen out of the bathroom.

"I’ll bathe her. You go ahead and take care of things."

"I’ll wait for you outside."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi could tell Gong Chen wanted to talk about Sang Ran.

After Xingxing finished her bath, she fell asleep after hearing only the first story Lin Zhiyi read to her, as she hadn’t napped earlier.

Tucking her in, Lin Zhiyi tiptoed out of the room.

At that moment, Gong Chen was sitting at the solid wood tea table, having already steeped tea.

"Sit."

Lin Zhiyi nodded and sat down, a cup of tea handed over to her.

Gong Chen said faintly, "You overheard everything?"

Lin Zhiyi paused mid-motion while raising the cup. It seemed nothing could escape him.

"Yes."

"I’ll clarify things with Sang Ran soon," Gong Chen murmured, pouring more tea.

"Her illness..."

"Zhiyi, I can’t consider that anymore," Gong Chen said.

He lifted his eyes to stare intently at Lin Zhiyi, his voice hoarse and subdued, carrying an imperceptible restraint.

Under his gaze, Lin Zhiyi’s cheeks burned hotter and hotter.

She quickly lowered her head, gripping the teacup tightly to hide her chaos.

Suddenly, a warm hand descended on her shoulder, sliding along her arm from behind to clasp her hand.

The man’s breath carried an overwhelming, invasive presence.

"Zhiyi, I can’t wait anymore. But I don’t want to become that version of me you used to hate."

Lin Zhiyi sat rigidly, his husky whispers echoing beside her ears.

She turned her head slightly, meeting his dark ink-like eyes, which held a faint trace of clarity amidst their depth.

His gaze dropped lower, settling on her lips, while his fingertips tightened around her hand, restless.

"Zhiyi, you’re full, right?"

Lin Zhiyi blinked in confusion and asked, "I’m full. But wait—why did you say I needed more stamina at the restaurant earlier?"

Gong Chen curved his lips in a half-smile, "Because I wasted your energy for free. If you don’t eat more, how will you have strength to ’waste’ me back?"

"..."

Lin Zhiyi’s face flushed crimson.

What "waste" him back?

How could he say such a thing so openly?

She started to get up, only for Gong Chen to act faster, cupping her face directly.

His thumb lightly brushed against her lips as he slowly leaned closer.

Just as his kiss was about to land, Lin Zhiyi froze.

"Third Young Master, don’t move—you’re bleeding from your nose!"

Gong Chen’s pupils contracted, his desire vanishing instantly. He stayed dazed for a moment before reacting.

Lin Zhiyi quickly grabbed tissues from the table to wipe his nose, but blood gushed out incessantly, looking somewhat frightening.

"What’s going on? Why won’t it stop?"

Gong Chen pressed a handkerchief to his nose and said calmly, "It’s fine. I don’t handle this climate very well."

Lin Zhiyi didn’t give it much thought. "I’ll get you an ice pack from the fridge to press on it."

"Alright."

While Lin Zhiyi turned away, Gong Chen removed the handkerchief to examine the bloodstains, furrowing his brows deeply.
