After Fu Bin and Fu Shu left Gong Chen’s office, they remained silent the entire way.
When they reached Fu Bin’s office floor.
Fu Shu handed the insulated bag directly to her brother.
"Brother, I won’t go in. Remember to clean up after you eat, so the office doesn’t smell."
Upon hearing this, Fu Bin opened the bag and took a look.
It was enough for two adults.
"Mm. You can go back now."
"Goodbye."
Fu Shu returned to the elevator and left.
As she walked out of the building, her phone rang.
She quickly answered, and a voice on the other end inquired.
"How did it go?"
"I didn’t know Lin Zhiyi would show up; it failed."
"Were you discovered?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"No, Lin Zhiyi trusts me, and the Third Young Master didn’t ask much," Fu Shu replied.
"That’s good, be careful; I don’t want to make a big fuss."
"I’ll plan the next step," Fu Shu assured.
"Mm."
After hanging up, Fu Shu took a deep breath and looked up at the top floor.
...
In the evening.
Lin Zhiyi received a message that Gong Chen would be entertaining and not returning for dinner.
She sighed, feeling like she could only understand.
After putting Xingxing to sleep, she sat in the living room with a book, waiting for Gong Chen.
The movie on the screen had already reached its second installment.
Lin Zhiyi looked down at her WeChat; several messages had sunk without a trace.
She rubbed her sore eyes, looking somewhat confusedly at the book in her hand.
For a moment, she felt as if she’d returned to the endless waiting of her past life.
She didn’t like this feeling.
Just as she closed the book and prepared to go to sleep, the door opened.
"Third Young Master, be careful."
This voice... Fu Shu?
Lin Zhiyi instinctively checked the time, eleven forty-five.
In the middle of the night, Gong Chen was actually brought back by Fu Shu.
She turned to the entrance and saw Fu Shu supporting Gong Chen as they came in.
Gong Chen was silent, leaning against Fu Shu.
He was different from others when drunk; he became more silent.
He looked almost the same as usual.
Lin Zhiyi quickly stepped forward to support Gong Chen, asking, "Teacher Fu, what’s going on?"
Fu Shu, panting, said, "Sorry, Miss Lin, today my brother accompanied the Third Young Master for a social event, and they both drank too much. My brother called me to pick him up, insisting on bringing the Third Young Master back first. He gets very chatty when he drinks, annoying the Third Young Master, so I had to bring him back first."
When Gong Chen leaned on Lin Zhiyi, the smell of alcohol was strong.
This made her feel strange.
Gong Chen used to attend social gatherings, but he would never let himself get so drunk.
Lin Zhiyi asked, "Where’s Assistant Chen?"
Fu Shu paused, then hurriedly said, "Assistant Chen was also forced to have a little drink. They planned to find a driver, but I went to pick up my brother, so..."
"Miss Lin, don’t misunderstand. Now that the Third Young Master is here, I’ll take my leave."
Lin Zhiyi hadn’t said anything yet, but Fu Shu was already eager to leave.
As she turned, Fu Shu clutched her arm in pain.
Lin Zhiyi asked, "Teacher Fu, what’s wrong?"
Fu Shu pulled up her sleeve, revealing a bruised arm.
She glanced at Gong Chen.
"I accidentally bumped it while supporting the Third Young Master, it’s nothing serious. You two should rest; I need to check on my brother."
"Okay, thank you."
After closing the door, Lin Zhiyi helped Gong Chen into the bedroom.
With effort, she removed his coat and noticed a unique mark on the light gray shirt collar.
She leaned in to inspect, finding it to be half a lip print.
This location, half on the collar, and half should be on... the neck.
Recalling what Fu Shu said about a collision.
So that’s where she bumped into Gong Chen’s neck.
Lin Zhiyi took a deep breath, not knowing where the strength came from, and yanked the blanket from under Gong Chen.
Gong Chen rolled off the edge of the bed.
Thud.
