Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Initial Show of Strength

"Self-defense skills?"

Gong Chen looked at Lin Zhiyi’s slender arms and legs. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

He could easily subdue her with one hand.

Noticing the slightly amused look in Gong Chen’s eyes, Lin Zhiyi immediately reacted.

She stood up and said, "What? Underestimating me? When I was at the guesthouse, I could carry a lot of stuff by myself."

"Too tiring," Gong Chen said directly, "How about I get you a custom watch?"

"It’s useless. They used to know I liked to have a tracker on me. Now the first thing they do when they see me is check for suspicious items. If they really want to get me, they’ll probably search my whole body."

Isn’t that more dangerous?

Gong Chen’s eyes deepened: "I’ll get a bodyguard to follow you secretly."

Lin Zhiyi frowned, "That’s not what I meant. I think it’s better to rely on oneself than on others."

Since she decided to stay in Jing City for her career, she had to be cautious.

Bodyguards can get distracted, and she couldn’t place her life entirely in their hands.

Even though learning self-defense skills might not make her a match for those people.

But as long as she could save her life at critical moments, it was enough.

Seeing that Lin Zhiyi was determined, Gong Chen nodded, "I’ll take you there tomorrow."

"Okay."

After finishing her noodles, Lin Zhiyi got up to do the dishes.

Gong Chen directly pulled her into the room.

"Let the maid do it tomorrow. Let’s wash something else tonight."

"..."

...

The next morning, even before Lin Zhiyi’s phone alarm went off, she was woken up by a string of WeChat messages.

Half-asleep, she picked up the phone and looked at the dense text, staring blankly for several seconds.

The messages were from Bai Ruoshu.

"Zhiyi, sorry to trouble you today. Please get all the coffee before the nine o’clock meeting."

"I only want one Americano; I’ve noted the rest of the colleagues’ orders."

"..."

Lin Zhiyi scrolled down two pages before finishing the so-called notes.

With milk, no sugar; with sugar, no milk; no sugar, no milk; add cinnamon; add butter, and unbelievably, add salt...

And it wasn’t from one coffee shop.

She looked at the time, it was not even seven o’clock.

Even if she went out now, many coffee shops weren’t open yet.

It was impossible to get all the coffees by nine.

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, scanned the messages again, sighed, and prepared to get up.

Just as she moved a little, the man behind her pulled her back into his embrace.

Still sleepy, the man said lazily, "Who’s bothering you?"

"Work."

"As far as I know, your job isn’t running coffee errands."

He had seen it.

Lin Zhiyi pouted, "I suddenly returned to the studio, someone certainly doesn’t like it. Maybe this is their way to put me in my place."

"Put you in your place? You say that so lightly, have you thought of a solution?" The man turned over to look at her.

"I downloaded the APP for every coffee joint, I’ll place the orders when they open and get them delivered home."

She wasn’t stupid.

No way she’d go physically to buy them one by one, right?

And she couldn’t have them delivered to the office; they’d definitely say she took shortcuts.

There were just two cafes owned by foreigners that didn’t deliver and didn’t support online orders.

She’d have to go there herself.

But that did save her a lot of time.

Thinking of Lin Zhiyi wasting time to buy coffee for others, the man’s eyes darkened.

Irritated, he propped himself up out of bed, the blanket slid off, revealing his toned chest through his half-open pajamas.

"Don’t go."

"I have to work..."

With a swoosh, Lin Zhiyi, who had just gotten up, was pressed back onto the bed.

"Stay with me a while longer, I’ll handle it for you."

"No need."

This small matter didn’t warrant the intervention of the Third Young Master.

"Do you want to buy them coffee every day?"

"No," Lin Zhiyi shook her head.

"Then go back to sleep."

"Once I’m woken up, I can’t sleep again. How about I get up and check what’s for breakfast?"

Besides, there wasn’t much time left for sleep anyway.
