CHAPTER 598: CHAPTER 598: THIRD YOUNG MASTER, DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ROMANCE?

"Dad..."

Bai Ruoshu trembled as she spoke, but didn’t dare to retort.

Bai Zhengxian avoided the assistant and driver, and whispered viciously as he approached Bai Ruoshu: "Ruoshu, you understand that making mistakes in the Bai Family means punishment! Whether it’s your mother or you, it’s the same."

"I understand."

Bai Ruoshu lowered the hand covering her face, a flash of fear in her eyes.

But she still nodded in the end.

Bai Zhengxian tidied his suit and prepared to get in the car.

Bai Ruoshu grabbed his hand: "Dad, my reputation can’t be damaged. Don’t forget the art gallery still relies on me."

"I know, which is why you deserved that slap."

"Hmm."

"Get in the car, we’ll talk back home."

The two got in the car and left.

In the parking space opposite, a car window slowly rolled down.

Gong Yao watched the departing car with a playful look.

His eyes fell, and his phone was playing the changed trending topics.

He knew Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen weren’t ones to sit back and wait for disaster.

Bai Ruoshu’s good deed of saving a life turned against her.

She suffered a pointless injury and was criticized by others.

He exited the trending topics and dialed Fu Xiuzhu’s number.

"Mom, looks like it’s our turn to make a move."

"I’ve seen everything online. I must say, we underestimated Lin Zhiyi before."

"No worries. Judging by President Bai’s displeased expression, not only did he fail to repay his daughter’s favor, but apparently the collaboration didn’t go well either. This is our chance."

Gong Yao smirked.

...

When Gong Chen arrived at Chen Huan’s studio downstairs, he didn’t see Lin Zhiyi.

He was about to call when he noticed Xingxing’s smartwatch had a notification.

He opened the parental backend, and Lin Zhiyi’s footprints appeared on the map.

The pattern was somewhat chaotic; a careful look revealed some clues.

It was Lin Zhiyi’s arrow on the ground, pointing east.

Then north.

Gong Chen chuckled.

Upon refreshing, a little girl icon appeared ahead, walking and walking...

Finally stopping at a snack shop.

He stood outside the shop’s floor-length window, hearing the crisp knocking sound.

Turning around, he saw Lin Zhiyi wearing a mask, sitting by the window waving.

Gong Chen took a mask out of his pocket, put it on, and entered the snack shop.

However, his height of 1.9 meters along with the crisp suit still attracted attention inside the shop.

Fortunately, it was a weekday, and at this hour there weren’t many people coming to eat.

A few diners glanced at him before minding their own meals.

Gong Chen just sat down.

Lin Zhiyi complained softly: "Why are you so slow? I was so hungry waiting, so I came to have a bowl of beef noodles. I ordered you a bowl too."

Gong Chen’s voice was slightly deep, an idle tone with a mocking edge.

"I wonder who made the meetup look like a spy rendezvous; arrows all crooked. Want to appreciate it?"

Lin Zhiyi glanced at his phone, indeed a bit messy.

But...

"Third Young Master, do you understand romance?"

"Do you know if I do?"

The subtle male voice, as if infused in the ear, gradually becoming clear.

Lin Zhiyi’s face warmed; couldn’t he think of something else?

After indulging in meat, can’t he go back to vegetables?

"Then I won’t play anymore." Lin Zhiyi pouted.

Gong Chen raised an eyebrow: "You can play, play however you want."

Why does this sound so awkward?

Interrupted by the beef noodles being served.

Even through the mask, Lin Zhiyi smelled the fragrance, swallowing her saliva.

Just about to take off the mask, she noticed three nearby office workers coming in, discussing what happened online.

"I’ve followed Bai Ruoshu for two years; I didn’t expect her and her mom to be that kind of people."

"If I hadn’t watched the entire surveillance, I would’ve thought Lin Zhiyi was repaying kindness with enmity. Who knew the Bai Family mother and daughter even dared to hit a pregnant woman? If I were Lin Zhiyi, whoever dared to hit my mom would be kicked flying."

"Even though Bai Ruoshu now denies posting the surveillance, her response looks like a green tea bitch now."

"Bai Ruoshu’s design this time is really ugly, completely unlike her style. Are those overseas reports all just hype? Otherwise, why come back and be out of tune with the local culture?"

"It might really be related to her hand injury, affecting her mood."

"But she herself said she willingly saved Lin Zhiyi, yet posed as if others were trying to harm her. The circles are indeed chaotic."

The three joked and ordered noodles.

Lin Zhiyi thought the topic was over, the mask half removed, but suddenly heard them mention her again.

"Lin Zhiyi’s certainly lucky with men; a few years ago, I read the report, though I still don’t know who the man with her was, but his body, if naked, would undoubtedly be perfect."

"Even now, this one’s perfect; I deliberately zoomed in to see the back, shoulders are shoulders, waist is waist, hips are hips, when moving..."

"That girl ate really well."

Cough cough cough...

Lin Zhiyi’s face was burning hot, couldn’t help but cough.

The three women realized their voices were a bit loud, immediately lowered their heads to eat.

Lin Zhiyi couldn’t ignore their words, her gaze involuntarily drifting to Gong Chen.

Even clothed, the body is excellent.

If unclothed...feels even better.

Her gaze fell, waist is waist, hips are hips, when moving...

Can’t think, can’t think, can’t think.

Suddenly a hand reached out and lifted her chin.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing, nothing." Lin Zhiyi shook her head, "Eat the noodles, or they’ll get mushy."

Speaking, she lowered her head to eat noodles, a chopstick stabbed at the mask.

So embarrassing.

Even without lifting her head, she could sense Gong Chen’s laughter in his eyes.

A few seconds later, a sound dropped above.

"I’ll show you when we get back."

"..."

Who wants to see!

After finishing the noodles, Lin Zhiyi followed Gong Chen out quickly, fearing being seen.

Once in the car, before she could speak, the man pressed close, kissing her lips.

With deliberate teasing, Lin Zhiyi’s mind gradually grew muddled, her body slumped in the seat.

Her hand resisted a few times but became limp; she didn’t know how long it was before he slowly released her.

But he didn’t leave her body, hovering with the upper half, watching her.

"Want to see?"

The voice deep, with a seductive danger.

Lin Zhiyi froze, then he took her hand and slipped it into his black shirt.

Every inch of skin was tense.

Lin Zhiyi’s breath followed suit, closing her eyes instinctively, long lashes stained with moisture.

He kissed her lips again, restrainedly asking: "Zhiyi, does this count as romance?"

Lin Zhiyi: "..."

A moment later, Lin Zhiyi sat up, tidying her clothes, in the rearview mirror, the lipstick on her lips was all over the place.

The only good thing was that Gong Chen didn’t actually have his way with her in the car.

Because the car didn’t have enough space, he couldn’t turn around, even bumping his head.

Lin Zhiyi muttered: "If I’d known, I wouldn’t have played romance with you."

Gong Chen watched her tidy her clothes before cracking a window a bit for some air.

Also letting himself calm down.

The rumpled shirt, he couldn’t be bothered to tidy, turned his head to stare at Lin Zhiyi.

Really beautiful.

Lin Zhiyi wiped her lips, the breeze blowing, her mind finally clearing a bit.

She returned to the main topic: "Was the complete hospital surveillance online from you? I only told you about the hospital incident with my mom."

"Hmm. That day you almost had an accident, I had a feeling the Bai Family mother and daughter wouldn’t easily let go, so I copied the surveillance ahead of time."

Gong Chen spoke casually, everything seemingly under his control.

Lin Zhiyi truly admired him.

"Then Bai Ruoshu and President Bai’s reaction today..."

"Bai Ruoshu should soon come looking for you."

The moment those words fell, the child watch in Lin Zhiyi’s bag rang with a voice call notification.
