Sang Li did not hide Chu Yin and Xingxing; instead, he settled them in the most luxurious hotel in Jing City.
The hotel’s shareholders are skilled and have connections in both the underworld and legitimate spheres.
Trying to act without a trace here, even the old man would find it difficult.
Lin Zhiyi thought about how recently Chu Yin helped take care of Xingxing; not only did she prepare a large red envelope, but she also bought some women’s things.
Chu Yin, after all, is a small celebrity and usually dresses quite casually.
Lin Zhiyi could tell she had her difficulties, so she took this opportunity to give her some gifts.
Knocking on the door, she saw Chu Yin in cute pajamas playing with Xingxing.
As soon as Xingxing saw her, she put her hands on her hips and snorted.
Lin Zhiyi gave Gong Chen a look.
Look, the little darling is mad.
Gong Chen immediately squatted down, teasing Xingxing for a while before she reluctantly allowed herself to be picked up.
"Daddy, are you alright now?"
Hearing this, something seemed to flicker in Gong Chen’s eyes as he reached out to pat Xingxing’s head.
"I’m fine now."
Lin Zhiyi gave the father and daughter some space, turning to hand the items in her hands to Chu Yin.
Chu Yin said in surprise, "What’s this?"
"Clothes, bags, and some jewelry I designed myself. Don’t dislike them," Lin Zhiyi said.
Chu Yin opened the shopping bag, saw the brand logo, and quickly pushed it back.
"You’ve already paid me; I can’t accept these."
"I heard from Mr. Sang that you helped me despite being injured. I’m really grateful. And didn’t you say last time you were going to attend an event? You can’t wear rented cheap dresses every time, right? I have a feeling you’ll become famous. By then, with you wearing my jewelry, I’d also gain some exposure."
Lin Zhiyi stuffed the bag into Chu Yin’s hands.
Chu Yin, a bit awkward, said, "I, I injured the investor’s head last time. When I went to apologize in their room, I nearly... I was disqualified from the event, so I can’t use these."
"I’m sorry."
"It’s not your fault. Besides, even if I went, I’d just stand in the corner. It doesn’t matter, just missing a few meals."
Speaking, Chu Yin tried to return the items.
Lin Zhiyi blocked her hand, "Consider it a gift between friends. Perhaps another event will soon find you. Just accept it."
Only then did Chu Yin accept the items.
"Thanks for the kind words. Come in and have a seat."
Lin Zhiyi was about to nod but then saw Sang Li’s suitcase in the room.
She quickly declined, "No, I don’t want to disturb you."
Chu Yin followed her gaze and sighed, "I wish, but he’s guarding against me like a thief, not giving me any chance."
"You won’t act recklessly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let you stay here." Lin Zhiyi smiled, "I just see that it’s quite late, and you haven’t recovered fully, so get some early rest."
Chu Yin looked at the things on the floor, recalling Lin Zhiyi’s words.
Having people care for you feels like this.
She nodded a bit shyly, "Mm."
Lin Zhiyi tidied up Xingxing’s luggage and gave a friendly reminder to Chu Yin before leaving.
"Mr. Sang was very busy today and didn’t eat much."
"Oh."
Chu Yin responded softly.
...
Su He Bay.
Along the way, Xingxing talked a lot with Gong Chen.
When they entered the door, Xingxing, out of energy, fell asleep on Gong Chen’s shoulder.
Gong Chen carefully placed her on the bed, gently smoothing her hair by her face.
Lin Zhiyi had just covered her with a freshly changed quilt when her wrist tightened as Gong Chen pulled her back into the bedroom.
She hadn’t reacted yet; her body was pinned against the door.
"Zhiyi, I’m hungry too."
The man’s deep voice brushed past Lin Zhiyi’s ear, resonating through her heart like tickling bees.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her heat, but her nostrils were filled with his scent.
Instead, it made her warm faster.
"You’re hungry, but leaning on me won’t help. I’ll check the fridge for food."
As Lin Zhiyi spoke, she pushed Gong Chen’s chest.
His body was hard, like a wall, strongly confining her in his arms, mixed with familiar yet dangerous air.
His hand braced against the door, slowly sliding down as he leaned in, making a ticklish sound.
"Zhiyi, I’m jealous."
She paused, "Jealous of what?"
