Lin Zhiyi had just walked to the corridor outside the restroom.
She saw Gong Chen taking the tablet and warm water from Chen Jin.
Her mind hadn’t reacted yet, but she already rushed forward.
"What’s wrong? Why are you taking medicine?"
She could even sense the tremor in her voice.
Previously, Gong Chen concealed that he was poisoned, secretly taking medicine whenever he felt unwell.
Could it be... the side effects from the poisoning still haven’t gone away?
But Li Huan explicitly said it was fine; it was just an adaptation reaction from taking new medicine before.
It seemed severe, but it was just for show for Gong Yao.
Why is he taking medicine?
Gong Chen picked up the medicine box from Chen Jin’s hand.
"Stomach medicine, I’ve been socializing a lot lately, and my stomach doesn’t feel too good."
"Really?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
"Really," Gong Chen nodded.
Lin Zhiyi directly extended her hand to Gong Chen: "Let me see."
Gong Chen placed the medicine into her hand.
Lin Zhiyi immediately picked a pill and popped it into her mouth.
It said it soothes stomach discomfort, so it shouldn’t be particularly strong medicine.
Gong Chen held her hand and pulled her close: "Spit it out."
Lin Zhiyi frowned: "Since it’s just ordinary stomach medicine, what’s the harm in taking one? Are you trying to deceive me?"
Gong Chen sighed.
"You’re on your period, don’t take medicine randomly."
Lin Zhiyi didn’t feel any discomfort even after taking the medicine.
She nodded: "Oh."
Gong Chen raised his hand and pinched her cheek: "Too reckless."
Lin Zhiyi rubbed her cheek and murmured softly: "It’s all because of you..."
Gong Chen understood her concern.
"Zhiyi, I’m really fine; my stomach discomfort is just from drinking a few too many cups these days at social gatherings. I’ll be more careful next time and won’t make you worry."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi made a sound of acknowledgment.
"Why didn’t you tell me your stomach wasn’t feeling well? I could have ordered different dishes earlier."
"I didn’t want to worry you, but you’re clever now and even tried swallowing medicine to test me." Gong Chen said helplessly.
"See if you dare hide things from me next time."
"I wouldn’t dare. Where’s Li Huan?" Gong Chen asked.
Lin Zhiyi chuckled: "Had something come up and left. Let’s go too."
"Okay."
After taking the medicine, Gong Chen left the restaurant with Lin Zhiyi through the side door.
...
Su He Bay.
As soon as Gong Chen returned, he received a work call and headed straight into the study.
Yet his complexion hadn’t improved.
Indeed, anyone would struggle managing two major companies.
Especially the Jiang Group, which currently needs steady progress, without a single misstep.
Lin Zhiyi contemplated for a moment before turning and entering the kitchen.
Not long after, Xingxing also ran inside.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Cooking porridge and making some pancakes for dad. He didn’t eat much just now. Do you want to eat? Mom can make more."
Lin Zhiyi lowered her head, stirring the flour in her hand.
Xingxing raised her hand: "I want to make some too."
"Okay. Come, I’ll bring you a stool so you can be mom’s little helper."
"Yay!"
Xingxing was very excited and made her pancakes into star shapes.
Lin Zhiyi praised: "So impressive, you learned it at once."
"Of course, I’m smart."
Xingxing stood on the stool with her hands on her hips.
Lin Zhiyi held her, looking at the flour on her face, and smiled: "Yes, little kitten."
Xingxing wiped her face, glanced at Lin Zhiyi again.
Mom’s a little kitten too?
Hmph, not telling her.
After everything’s ready, Lin Zhiyi carried the porridge, and Xingxing insisted on carrying the star-shaped pancakes herself.
Then, the two knocked on the door and entered the study.
Gong Chen had just hung up the phone, but his eyes were still focused on the computer screen, reviewing documents.
