Lin Zhiyi turned her back, closed her eyes, and was both angry and annoyed.
Suddenly, she heard the warm breath of a man next to her ear.
Gong Chen playfully blew a breath: "No need for that, I’ll help you too, I’ve already sent someone to investigate."
Lin Zhiyi immediately opened her eyes and turned to look at him.
"When?"
"During dinner, I told you I wouldn’t let you be in danger."
Gong Chen lowered his head, his smooth hair hanging down his forehead, making him look exceptionally lazy and sexy.
As he spoke, his gaze fell as if to pierce through the blanket to see what’s underneath.
"Since you’re so concerned, we shouldn’t waste this good time together."
"No..."
Before Lin Zhiyi could finish her sentence, the blanket was yanked off by Gong Chen.
And the result...
A pretty apron was worn, but underneath were pajamas and pants.
Gong Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Zhiyi wrapped her arms around his neck and chuckled: "So, how’s that? I can fool you now, can’t I?"
Gong Chen gave a thumbs up.
"Progress, but..."
"But what?" Lin Zhiyi was still reveling in joy.
Gong Chen looked at her, half-smiling: "Sleeping with an apron isn’t comfortable, let me help you take it off."
"You, you...ugh."
How could he be so kind-hearted?
He was clearly up to no good.
...
At the studio.
Gong Chen was efficient; the next day, the bodyguard brought a paparazzo through the back door into the office.
It was a woman.
The assistant was momentarily stunned upon seeing her.
"Is it you?"
Lin Zhiyi asked in surprise: "Do you know her?"
The assistant explained: "I saw her when I bought coffee at the café before. We hit it off then, and she asked me lots of questions about work. Could it be..."
Lin Zhiyi frowned, truly hard to guard against.
She sized up the paparazzo, who was wearing ordinary sportswear, and was bare-faced, appearing unremarkable.
But on second thought, she seemed familiar somehow.
Lin Zhiyi asked: "You’ve followed me for so many days, don’t you have anything to ask?"
The paparazzo shook off the bodyguard’s hand and rubbed her wrist.
"Getting caught by you was my carelessness, but Miss Lin seems really afraid of being discovered, even going so far as to use a bodyguard to lure me in."
"I don’t recall us knowing each other? You seem to hold quite a grudge against me."
Lin Zhiyi saw hatred in her eyes.
Generally, when a paparazzo gets caught, they mostly try to flatter you, promising never to do it again.
She seemed determined to dig out some secret from Lin Zhiyi.
The paparazzo sneered: "Of course Miss Lin doesn’t know me, I’m just a journalist uncovering the truth."
"Paparazzo." Lin Zhiyi corrected, "Annoyingly harassing my life and work. Journalists don’t do that. I’m not a public figure; your behavior is illegal stalking."
"You... do you think you’re so righteous? Just wait, I will definitely expose your true colors." the paparazzo said angrily.
"Such as? You seem so serious about it; you must have something in hand, right?" Lin Zhiyi retorted.
"..."
The paparazzo pressed her lips, not speaking.
Lin Zhiyi’s identity was no secret anymore.
Even if exposed, the Gong Family would suppress the heat.
Going back and forth, it was just a matter of discussing her identity as the Gong Family’s stepdaughter.
Lin Zhiyi stood up and said: "Miss, consider this my warning to you; I hope you stop watching me incessantly."
Then she looked at the assistant.
The assistant walked to the door and gestured for her to leave. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Leave, why are you still standing here? Do you really want me to call the police?"
The paparazzo snorted and hurriedly left.
The assistant came over to Lin Zhiyi to apologize.
"Miss Lin, I’m sorry, I thought we hit it off and shared some work stuff, I didn’t expect she deliberately approached me. But rest assured, I didn’t mention anything about you; I know where to draw the line."
"I’ll go, it’s convenient for me, and I also want to experience picking up my daughter from school."
Looking at this line, Lin Zhiyi was somewhat bewildered.
Gong Chen picking up the child, that scene would be quite interesting.
But Xingxing would definitely be delighted.
"Okay."
Lin Zhiyi could save time for handling the work at hand.
...
Gong Chen looked at the time and impatiently left the company.
Chen Jin saw him so excited and kindly reminded: "Third Young Master, do you want to buy some snacks?"
"Zhiyi doesn’t allow Xingxing to eat snacks," Gong Chen replied.
"Alright, whipped husband." Chen Jin said with a smile.
Chen Jin drove towards the kindergarten. Near the kindergarten entrance, there were already quite a few parents.
Some parents also got out of their cars and went to nearby shops to buy snacks.
Gong Chen took a look and made up his mind: "Stop by the side, I’ll get some snacks. Xingxing should have what others have."
"Not afraid of Miss Lin now?" Chen Jin turned the steering wheel, feeling amused.
"Don’t tell her."
Gong Chen glanced at him.
After parking, Gong Chen walked towards the snack store.
Upon entering, the people purchasing immediately paused to stare at him.
He didn’t mind and continued to choose snacks.
But he didn’t know what to buy.
The store clerk, seeing such a handsome guy, quickly approached with thoughts of both serving and admiring.
"Hello, is there anything you need?"
"What do kids like?" Gong Chen looked at the dazzling array of food.
"A gift?"
"For my daughter."
"..."
