After getting a tool from Sister Zhou, Lin Zhiyi and Xingxing went back to the apartment.
Fortunately, the apartment had everything; a little tidying up and it was ready for living.
In the evening, Lin Zhiyi ordered some delivery food.
After eating together with Xingxing, the two watched TV for a while.
Lin Zhiyi was absent-mindedly scrolling through her phone, not even knowing what she was waiting for.
She ended up waiting for an update from Fu Shu’s Moments.
In the photo, Fu Shu was in the house at Su He Bay.
She sat in the spot where Lin Zhiyi used to sit, a baby chair placed beside her, as if suggesting something.
And there were quite a few dishes on the table.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at the dishes — all meticulously prepared.
Mainly very good for pregnant women.
If Gong Chen hadn’t permitted it, who would dare to do this?
Lin Zhiyi clenched her phone, wishing she could dive into the photo and press Fu Shu’s head into the soup on the table.
No doubt, this photo was purposely meant for her to see.
Lin Zhiyi rubbed her temples and returned her gaze to the photo.
She couldn’t understand why Fu Shu’s impression still felt so contradictory.
The first time they met, Fu Shu seemed to be the type that builds up things progressively.
Slowly infiltrate.
She could scheme without leaving a trace but wouldn’t flaunt so obviously.
What exactly did Fu Shu want?
This child...
Thinking of the child, Lin Zhiyi couldn’t help but recall Gong Chen’s attitude at the lunch table during the day.
He didn’t deny it.
So something must have happened at the Jiang Family banquet that day.
As she thought, Lin Zhiyi’s chest felt heavy.
It turned out Xingxing had fallen asleep watching TV.
Looking down at Xingxing’s adorable sleeping face, all resentment vanished from her heart.
As long as Xingxing was there, she was the winner.
She still had work.
The investment and connections Gong Chen provided her were very real.
Coupled with her own capabilities.
No love, but money and career were still there.
Lin Zhiyi kissed Xingxing’s forehead and carried her back to her room.
After nightfall.
She heard a sound at the door, immediately taking the tool she got from Sister Zhou from the bedside.
A rolling pin.
She knew it wouldn’t be so easy to let her go.
Lin Zhiyi tiptoed out of the room.
Relying on her familiarity with the house, she maneuvered behind the entrance cabinet.
The door was pushed open, and a figure slowly walked in.
Lin Zhiyi tightened her grip on the rolling pin, raising her hand to strike.
The person seemed to know she was going to ambush and almost simultaneously raised a hand to block it.
However...
She got smarter.
Previously, attacks to the upper body were always predicted, so this time she aimed for the person’s leg.
The person took a solid hit to the leg.
"Hiss... You’ve become naughty."
"Do you need lessons to beat a scumbag?"
Lin Zhiyi raised her hand to strike again, only this time the person anticipated it.
Grabbing the rolling pin and pulling her into an embrace.
The next second, the room lights turned on.
The glass cabinet reflected the man’s deep silhouette.
"Then you should put in a bit more effort, or... can’t bear to?" the man said deeply.
Lin Zhiyi struggled a little: "Let go of me! What are you doing here?"
