A man’s hand?
Lin Zhiyi was startled; she had clearly checked it.
She quickly opened the video and indeed saw a long, pale hand appear in the corner.
A luxurious half-piece of a watch was exposed on the wrist.
Lin Zhiyi turned her head to stare at Gong Chen’s watch, speaking with a hint of hope.
"Third Young Master, this watch shouldn’t be difficult to buy, right?"
"Not difficult, the auction house requires verification of funds first," Gong Chen said indifferently.
"..."
That’s called not difficult?
But doesn’t that mean this watch only appeared at the auction house?
Ordinary people definitely don’t know how expensive it is.
Besides, what can you tell from just half a watch?
Most auctions are anonymous.
Or there’s phone commissioning, where someone holds up a number and continuously makes phone calls during the auction.
Some transactions go back and forth several times, and you still don’t know who the seller is or who the buyer is.
This is how the real big shots operate.
Lin Zhiyi patted her chest, relieved from a false alarm.
She saw the comments becoming increasingly popular, about to be pinned, and quickly replied.
"Driver."
After replying, Lin Zhiyi found Gong Chen was staring at the screen.
Worried he might overthink, she quickly explained, "We agreed not to go public. At such a critical moment, we can’t let anything slip up."
Gong Chen smiled enigmatically, "Hmm. But don’t you want to check the replies first?"
Lin Zhiyi was a bit confused, but still picked up her phone to check the replies.
"What kind of driver is this rich, able to afford a watch worth tens of millions?"
"This is not the kind of watch that just anyone with money can buy."
"Lin Zhiyi says it’s a driver, could it be... a pet name? Quite playful."
Pet name?
Pet...
Lin Zhiyi turned to look at Gong Chen, biting her lip, "Why didn’t you remind me?"
Gong Chen calmly played dumb, "I thought you did it on purpose."
"I think you’re the one doing it on purpose! How am I supposed to smooth this over?"
"To love or not to love, it’s all about honesty."
The man approached her, savoring the words, his voice deeper, low and coaxing.
Lin Zhiyi looked at him, realizing he hadn’t reminded her on purpose.
She squeezed her phone, responding to the doubts.
"Exclusive driver."
It was a response to her connection with the man in the photo.
Just as she clicked send, a light breath brushed against her ear.
Before she could react, the man urgently kissed her lips.
After a brief taste, he hoarsely said, "Should’ve known not to give you the car; otherwise, what need would you have for me as your exclusive driver?"
"I don’t even dare drive the car you gave me; last time I drove out for breakfast and nearly scratched it. My breakfast only cost twenty-eight, forget about repainting; even the fuel cost wasn’t covered," Lin Zhiyi complained.
"I’ll go with you to practice driving in a couple of days. The more you drive, the better."
Fortunately, he didn’t say to stop driving altogether.
Lin Zhiyi nodded, "Alright."
...
Bai Family.
"Lin Zhiyi!"
Bai Ruoshu smashed a tea set in front of her, calming down only afterward.
Outside the door, Yang Jingwei waited until she finished venting her anger before entering with an ice pack.
"Calm down, at least the online controversy has lessened a lot now. Your father acted out of momentary impatience; let me see your face."
Bai Ruoshu then obediently sat down, allowing Yang Jingwei to apply the ice pack to her cheek.
"Your father still cares about you; he didn’t hit you hard. The swelling will go down by tomorrow."
"The most important thing right now is to secure your father’s collaboration with the Gong Group."
Bai Ruoshu turned her head slightly, gritting her teeth, "I won’t let Lin Zhiyi get away with this! If it wasn’t for her, the Third Young Master wouldn’t have treated me like this! My father wouldn’t have hit me either!"
Yang Jingwei patted her back, comforting her, "Alright, enough venting; after all, you still have to deal with your design issue."
Thinking of the design, a trace of malice flashed across Bai Ruoshu’s previously aggrieved face.
She turned and pulled the pad, originally facing away from her, to the front, then raised the volume.
"Ah! Ah!"
The room was suddenly filled with the woman’s shrill and painful cries.
The next second, Bai Ruoshu turned off the video.
