Fang Sisi was too impatient, not realizing she was pushing herself into another desperate situation.
Since this is her choice, others can only respect it.
It’s just that I’m afraid there won’t be a second Chu Yin willing to save her.
Lin Zhiyi sighed, feeling a sense of unease in her heart.
Just as she was thinking, Liao Yi suddenly spoke up, "Zhiyi, you were so intense yesterday."
Lin Zhiyi was taken aback.
"I... I didn’t make a fool of myself in public, did I?"
"It’s fine because you weren’t the only one embarrassed." Liao Yi laughed heartily.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Zhiyi’s forehead throbbed continuously.
"You told Third Young Master not to bully you in bed, asked Li Huan to take some supplements, and had Chu Yin sleep with Mr. Sang..."
"Alright, stop it."
Lin Zhiyi felt dizzy, almost wanting to die.
Liao Yi winked at her, "Don’t worry, don’t worry, I haven’t even mentioned how you and Third Young Master stayed in the room yesterday without coming out. Luckily this house is big enough, or we’d have to eat hotpot with our ears plugged."
Lin Zhiyi blushed furiously.
She quickly changed the subject, "I’ll go to the kitchen to see what’s for lunch."
After speaking, she escaped into the kitchen.
Flustered, she opened the refrigerator, grabbing some leftovers from yesterday’s hotpot and began washing them.
Her hands clumsily washing the vegetables, while her mind was preoccupied with how she would face them in the future.
Just as she was thinking, strong arms wrapped around Lin Zhiyi from behind.
The man’s handsome face rested on her shoulder, his deep voice mixing with warm breath whispered in her ear.
"Designer Lin’s hands are truly extraordinary."
Lin Zhiyi paused, looking down.
The lettuce was practically torn to shreds in her washing.
She made an excuse, "Lettuce should be done this way, it has texture. You don’t cook often, you wouldn’t understand."
Gong Chen turned his head quietly, observing the small expressions on her face.
Very cute.
"Mm, Designer Lin is right."
He nodded twice, his voice filled with affection.
Lin Zhiyi looked up at him in surprise, "Why are you being so agreeable today?"
Gong Chen sighed slightly, "How dare I oppose you? I’m afraid you’ll punish me tonight."
"..."
Lin Zhiyi blushed, turning to lightly kick him.
Gong Chen lifted his long leg, avoiding her kick.
"Zhiyi, I don’t want to grow old with old grievances in my legs and have you take care of me."
Lin Zhiyi pressed her lips, suppressing the smile trying to break through.
"Who wants to grow old with you?"
Gong Chen drew her close, "We had a table full of witnesses yesterday, you can’t just lift your skirt and walk away."
"Lift...pfft..."
Lin Zhiyi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Gong Chen leaned in closer, raising her chin, facing her eyes.
"I’m serious."
"Oh."
"I won’t push you anymore in the future."
"Mm." Lin Zhiyi couldn’t help but grip the lettuce tighter.
"Once the Bai Family matters are settled, we’ll get married."
"..."
Lin Zhiyi froze, speechless.
Gong Chen frowned, asking gently, "Who else would you marry if not me?"
Lin Zhiyi turned her head, pouting, "Weren’t you the one who said you wouldn’t push me?"
"There’s no negotiating, if you won’t marry me, I’ll join your family."
He made the decision final.
Lin Zhiyi almost couldn’t suppress her smile.
Pretending to stay calm, she said, "Well then, I need to start making more money."
"Alright, I’ll depend on you then, Designer Lin."
Gong Chen chuckled.
He pulled Lin Zhiyi away, rolling up his sleeves and putting on a black apron.
"Keep washing and there’ll be nothing left, stand aside."
"You’re cooking?" Lin Zhiyi said in surprise.
"Mm."
Gong Chen lowered his head, dipping his fingers into the sink.
The blood-red ring became gentler.
Lin Zhiyi stood nearby, gazing at his profile, her heart feeling cheerful.
Suddenly she recalled the term "domestic husband."
Lin Zhiyi blushed, stating simply, "No, I promised Chu Yin to help her move yesterday. If you’re uncomfortable, go take a bath."
