Su He Bay.
As soon as Lin Zhiyi entered the door, Xingxing rushed into her arms.
Liao Yi stood up from the sofa.
"Third Young Master, Zhiyi, you’re back. I’ll take my leave then. Xingxing has already had a bath. Although she was very sleepy, she was waiting for you two to return."
As she spoke, she patted Xingxing’s head.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at the time, "Liao Yi, thank you for today. Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."
"It’s no problem, I’m leaving now."
After saying goodbye to Xingxing, Liao Yi left first.
When Gong Chen approached, Lin Zhiyi turned and led Xingxing to the children’s room.
Xingxing, like a little genius, glanced at the two of them, and before entering the room, turned and winked at Gong Chen.
Lying on the bed in the children’s room.
Lin Zhiyi gently patted Xingxing’s body.
Xingxing turned on her side, her cheek resting on her little hand.
"Mom, did he make you angry?"
Lin Zhiyi said nothing.
Suddenly, Xingxing raised her head and said earnestly, "Then let’s go back, I don’t like him anymore! I hate him! I won’t pay attention to him from now on!"
"..."
Lin Zhiyi was startled by Xingxing’s sudden burst of emotion.
The doctor had specifically instructed after surgery that the child should remain in a stable emotional environment for at least six months.
Moreover, the book said that a sudden aversion to parents could easily cause psychological issues in children.
She propped up her body and quickly explained, "I’m not angry, don’t overthink it."
Xingxing blinked her eyes, looking innocent, "Then mommy should go to sleep too. I’ll be fine listening to the story machine."
"This..."
Lin Zhiyi hesitated a bit; she hadn’t figured out how to continue the hospital conversation with Gong Chen.
If he didn’t want to talk, there wasn’t much she could do.
"Mommy worked hard today."
Xingxing obediently nudged her.
Helpless, Lin Zhiyi could only smile, got up, set the storybook timer, and left the room.
She didn’t go back to the bedroom immediately but went to the kitchen instead.
With the chaos at the Gong Family, she hadn’t eaten dinner.
The fridge was quite stocked up, but she really didn’t feel like cooking, so she took a bundle of Xingxing’s vegetable noodles.
When she closed the fridge, her hand paused, and she ended up taking out the rest of the noodles.
While beating an egg, she mocked herself.
"Do you want to cook for him? He won’t starve to death anyway!"
"He dares to keep me in the dark!"
"And I even felt guilty!"
"This egg is him!"
Lin Zhiyi looked at the egg in her hand and crushed it without much difficulty.
In her heart, she knew that the less she knew, the more the old man would trust her.
Otherwise, the old man wouldn’t believe the plan was Gong Chen’s idea.
But she was annoyed.
Everyone else knew, except her.
And she had scolded eighteen elders of the Gong Family for a child that didn’t even exist!
Eighteen!
Across all industries, by golly, each could have me blacklisted!
It was livelier than any New Year.
Lin Zhiyi was so lost in thought, she didn’t even notice when the man stood at the kitchen doorway.
He leaned against the doorframe, frowned slightly at the egg she crushed.
"Zhiyi, for future happiness, it’s best not to think about this action."
Lin Zhiyi was startled, nearly dropping the bowl with the egg.
With quick reflexes, the man stabilized the bowl and scooped her into his arms from behind.
Lin Zhiyi struggled a bit, "Who cares about your happiness?"
"Still mad?"
"I wouldn’t dare, Third Young Master."
Lin Zhiyi smashed another egg with force, the yolk nearly breaking free.
Gong Chen’s eyes lowered slightly.
What wouldn’t she dare?
Who was the woman who slapped him squarely?
The only person who’s been both hitting and biting him all his life was her.
In his peripheral vision, he saw the pot with the noodles boiling.
This large pot was clearly more than she could eat alone.
He smirked and tilted his head, staring at her graceful profile.
Actually, Lin Zhiyi was always all bark and no bite.
A bit clever.
When stubborn, her temper was both fierce and obstinate.
But... to him, she’s always, always been wonderful.
Warm at times, soft and adorable.
This was something Gong Chen noticed from the first time they met.
Lin Zhiyi sensed the man’s gaze was too intense, awkwardly nudging him away.
"Go away, I’m starving."
"Let me help you."
Gong Chen took the bowl from Lin Zhiyi’s hand and continued beating the eggs.
Lin Zhiyi poured some cold water into the pot, and as she saw him beat the eggs leisurely, her eyes rolled.
