Chapter 231: Designing Her Wedding Ring

Upon hearing "fire," Gong Chen froze again.

He recalled the little girl's distaste for him in his dreams.

Time and again, night after night, the conclusion of every dream was the same, the little girl rushing into the flames, leading a woman with a blurred back.

The two of them shared a smile before vanishing from his dreams.

Lin Zhiyi took the opportunity to break free from Gong Chen's restraint and stood a few steps away from him.

Her anger tinged with a plea, "Uncle, I truly can't outmatch you, but I am a human being too. Haven't your father and son humiliated me enough? Do you really need to be satisfied only when everyone is pointing at me and calling me a 'slut'?"

After speaking, she turned and left.

Gong Chen reached out to grab her but only caught the overcoat draped over her shoulders.

Lin Zhiyi decisively tore off Gong Chen's overcoat and walked away without looking back, then disappeared into the snowstorm.
