Inside the private room.
Li Huan and a few others were chatting.
Gong Chen and Sang Li exchanged a look, then got up and walked to the balcony behind the sofa.
Sang Li took out a cigarette, but when offering one, he remembered that Gong Chen had quit smoking.
Leaning against the balcony, he silently lit a cigarette.
His phoenix eyes narrowed, looking deep and casual.
Gong Chen, dressed casually, leaned against the door frame, the slightly open door blowing his hair gently.
Handsome and stern.
He glanced at the red tip of the cigarette in Sang Li’s fingers and said lightly, "Your craving isn’t small. Is the Sang Group going under?"
Sang Li chuckled, "Third Young Master is still so hostile to me. Spend more time worrying about yourself, unemployed."
The two mocked each other briefly and then got to the main topic.
"What do you think about Chu Yin?"
"I can see it, Third Young Master is quite idle nowadays." Sang Li flicked the ash.
"It’s not someone who loves to worry. If something happens to Chu Yin, she might wish she could take the fall for her." Gong Chen responded.
Hearing about Chu Yin’s troubles, Sang Li frowned slightly.
There seemed to be some displeasure, or perhaps pent-up frustration.
Men understand men. Gong Chen noticed Sang Li’s expression and felt a bit enlightened.
"Are you upset that Chu Yin invited others but not you?"
"No." Sang Li immediately replied.
"That was a quick answer." Gong Chen curled his lips, "So you benefited from Zhou Zhao’s presence?"
"If you have nothing to say, it’s fine to say nothing."
"I do have something to say. Check your phone. I just sent you some information. Chu Yin probably encountered a lot in the mountains." Gong Chen said.
Only then did Sang Li notice the unread message on his phone.
He opened it to find that Chu Yin had faced danger more than once in the mountains.
But Chu Yin’s assistant only mentioned it once, which seemed to align with Chu Yin’s wishes.
Gong Chen continued, "The male lead, Luo Sheng, seems to be targeting Chu Yin. You might want to investigate who’s behind him."
"You... this file must have been prepared in advance. Third Young Master, what do you mean?" Sang Li’s eyes were deep.
"Chu Yin has always been someone who only shares the good news. She likes you, but she’s afraid you might look down on her, so she’ll definitely hide it. If you have no interest in her, have someone privately handle it for her. And also clarify things with Lin Zhiyi so she doesn’t think you’re interested in Chu Yin and start matchmaking."
"..."
Sang Li’s fingers paused over the documents.
Gong Chen is always Gong Chen; even without holding a prestigious position, he can see things clearly.
Chu Yin, Lin Zhiyi, nothing could be hidden from him.
Sang Li put down the phone and asked directly, "Why is Zhiyi so concerned about this?"
"Rest assured, it’s not that she feels guilty and wants to find you a woman. She’s just very concerned about Chu Yin’s life. After all, Chu Yin got involved because of her. You’ve seen the subsequent events; because of the Bai family, Chu Yin has been in danger many times, but she’s much safer when with you."
Gong Chen explained Lin Zhiyi’s intentions.
In short, if they can be together, fine, but if not, at least ensure Chu Yin’s safety first.
Sang Li, holding a cigarette, seemed skeptical through the smoke.
"Third Young Master, are you talking metaphysics to me? Beating around the bush is pointless."
Gong Chen knew that this kind of talk wouldn’t deceive Sang Li.
He said directly, "You can choose not to care, but if something happens to Chu Yin, just don’t regret it. You’re hesitating as it is. Chu Yin doesn’t suit Sang Li or the Sang Family, but only you know how you truly feel inside."
Sang Li frowned, letting the cigarette burn away.
Gong Chen patted him on the shoulder.
"Sang Li, don’t leave yourself with regrets. Live well for yourself; otherwise, ending up like me is quite a failure."
The Sang family is open-minded, but not entirely indulgent.
Lin Zhiyi was able to get engaged to Sang Li successfully largely because of her relationship with the Gong Family.
With that, Gong Chen returned to the dining table and sat down.
A moment later, the cigarette in Sang Li’s fingers had burned out.
Just then, the private room door was pushed open, and Chu Yin walked in quickly, smiling as she looked up at him.
The cigarette in Sang Li’s fingers fell to the floor, as some answers had long been clear.
Chu Yin said, "Why are you standing there? It’s a happy day, I’ve ordered some drinks, let’s have a toast."
"Yeah."
Sang Li didn’t refuse.
Until the waiter brought in the drinks on a serving cart.
Zhou Zhao teased, "Chu Yin, who do you plan on getting drunk?"
With that, he picked up Chu Yin and carried her out of the private room.
Just then, Lin Zhiyi received a message.
It was actually from Chu Yin.
"I’ve booked a suite for you at the Aegean Sea Hotel. Enjoy the blessings together, there’s a surprise!"
What blessing?
What surprise could a hotel have?
"What are you looking at?" Gong Chen asked.
"Nothing." Lin Zhiyi replied, "There are bodyguards and a housekeeper at home. Why don’t we go out for a stroll? With three kids at home, it’s rare for us to have time to ourselves."
"As you wish."
Gong Chen glanced at her, not pressing further, as she was now the head of the household.
...
Aegean Sea Hotel.
Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen entered the room, and before they could take it all in, someone was already being mischievous.
Gong Chen leaned slightly, his voice tinged with a hint of desire.
"So that’s how it is."
Lin Zhiyi felt a shiver through her body as she pressed against him.
"No, that’s not what I meant."
She slowly backed up, only to trip over the end of the bed and fall onto it.
Her body swayed inexplicably.
Her hand brushed against something, discovering it was a waterbed.
Immediately, Gong Chen leaned down.
The atmosphere gradually became more intimate.
Lin Zhiyi hurriedly said, "You, you should shower first."
Gong Chen murmured an agreement, turning to head to the bathroom.
Lin Zhiyi sighed in relief, feeling that the room lighting was odd, and reached for the remote by the bed.
Only to discover...
