Chapter 268: I'm doing things like this, what face do I need?

Lin Zhiyi's skin on the back of her hand was scalded, and she instinctively pulled away, but the man held on even tighter.

His grip seemed as if he wanted to crush her.

She frowned and struggled, about to speak, when she saw the gauze on the man's palm.

She paused for a moment, then looked up, crashing into the depths of the man's pitch-black eyes.

The light was warm, falling on the corners of his eyes, yet failing to soften them.

Lin Zhiyi looked at him directly, "Third Young Master, is there anything else? If the Gong Family insists on me enduring the remaining nine lashes, I can go back now, as long as I can leave the Gong Family."

"Do you have to speak to me like this?"

Gong Chen looked at her, his cool voice suppressing an indefinable emotion.

Lin Zhiyi sneered, "Are we familiar, Third Young Master?"

She coldly averted her eyes from Gong Chen, wanting to distance herself far from him.
