Just as Lin Zhiyi finished speaking, Liao Yi couldn’t help but laugh.
Gong Chen glanced at her, causing her to pause, handling two suitcases with one hand and holding Xingxing with the other.
"We’ll go downstairs first, take your time to talk."
As Liao Yi and Xingxing walked away, Lin Zhiyi had no time to react before Gong Chen pulled her back into the room.
Her body barely touched the door when Gong Chen pressed in.
With his eyes half-lowered, there was a hint of danger in his laziness; his shirt, not fully buttoned, revealed a rolling Adam’s apple.
Lin Zhiyi’s gaze fixed for a moment, then slowly moved up, all her tiny actions caught by him.
He restrained himself: "Really, nothing to say to me?"
He leaned near her lips and then pulled back a little, coming and going, seemingly on purpose.
Lin Zhiyi paused her breath, intentionally saying, "Third Young Master, let go, Mr. Sang is almost here."
Gong Chen frowned, holding her even tighter, nearly suffocating her.
"Lin Zhiyi, you know how to irritate me."
Lin Zhiyi muttered, "Who told you to tease me first?"
"No more teasing."
"..."
Before Lin Zhiyi could respond, Gong Chen’s palm moved back, holding her head.
Their foreheads touched, and the breath he exhaled hit Lin Zhiyi like a heat wave.
She clutched her coat, afraid of saying she didn’t want to leave.
"I..."
The man seemed to see through her thoughts, kissed her directly, silencing the words she was about to say.
After a while.
Gong Chen released her: "Go ahead, send me a message when you arrive."
Lin Zhiyi felt a coolness in front of her, releasing her grip on her coat, daring to act bold for once.
She reached out and hugged the man.
"Be careful. Remember your promise to me."
"Mm." The man also embraced her.
He wasn’t good with sweet words, clearing his throat several times, intending to speak.
In the end, he said nothing, just held her tightly.
Lin Zhiyi could sense his uneasiness, and couldn’t help but smile secretly.
"I’m leaving."
After coming downstairs, Sang Li happened to arrive.
After getting in the car, Lin Zhiyi waved to Gong Chen with Xingxing through the window.
She and Gong Chen exchanged a glance, everything understood without words.
After the car completely disappeared, Gong Chen still stood silently in place.
A moment later, Chen Jin approached and whispered.
"Third Young Master, the medicine has arrived."
"To the upstairs."
Chen Jin said worriedly, "You’ve never used this medicine before, you don’t know how you will react, and there’s a company meeting this afternoon, maybe you should use the previous medication to control it first."
"It’s useless, use the new one."
Gong Chen turned and went upstairs.
An hour later, Gong Chen changed into a formal suit.
Chen Jin opened the car door, but inside sat an unexpected guest.
"Third Young Master, Dad said I should go over the meeting content with you, so I came with the driver."
It was Gong Yao speaking.
Gong Chen said nothing, boarded the car expressionless.
As he reached for the file, his hand visibly shook once.
Gong Yao noticed but pretended not to see, continuing to look down at the file.
As the car slowly approached the Shi Ji Bridge in Jing City, Gong Yao gazed at the shimmering river in the distance.
"Jing City is indeed seductive and dazzling, no wonder so many people go to great lengths to stay, don’t you agree, Third Young Master?"
Gong Chen remained silent, calmly flipping a page.
Gong Yao chuckled: "It’s normal for you not to understand, Third Young Master, after all, you were born in Rome, but some people can’t always stay in Rome."
Gong Chen closed the file, tapping it lightly with his fingertips, his gaze icy.
"Yearning for Rome so much, is it because you can’t afford a plane ticket? Your mother shouldn’t be short on money, and if she is, she shouldn’t ask me for it."
The mocking tone pierced Gong Yao.
Even if he carried himself with the elegance of a noble gentleman, sitting here was by no means upright.
Gong Yao pressed his lips: "Third Young Master, I know you look down on my mother and me, but some things..."
"Some things you don’t have to say to me, because you and your mother were never in my eyes."
A flash of cold light passed through Gong Chen’s eyes.
This statement completely froze Gong Yao in place.
The car drove onto the bridge, and Gong Yao’s glance swept over the messages popping up on his phone.
Suddenly, he let out a cold laugh.
"Third Young Master, I’ve always thought you were smart, but now, it seems you’re nothing special."
