Chapter 47


    The weather became cooler as it was autumn in Yunzhou City; days passed as usual and it seemed


    like everything had gone back to normal, just like how it used to be. Life went on slowly in a calm and


    peaceful manner.


    At noon, Su Ziyue had juste back from another interview. During this period of time, she went for


    several interviews at differentpanies. However, she wasn’t very satisfied with the offers provided


    by thepanies, but the offers provided by thepany she interviewed at today were pretty good.


    Hence, she thought she could give it a try.


    She noticed it was raining outside when she got out of thepany. Although the rain wasn’t heavy, it


    was drizzling miserably, which was rather irritating.


    Covering her head with her bag, Su Ziyue ran to the roadside to hail a cab when a ck car stopped


    beside the road; the car window rolled down slowly, while Su Ziyue turned her head and saw it was Su


    Yige.


    “Get in.” A disdainful look crossed Su Yige’s face when she noticed Su Ziyue covering her head with


    her bag.


    Pretending she didn’t hear Su Yige, Su Ziyue continued to walk several steps forward and was about to


    hail a cab.


    Su Yige had no choice but to reverse her car. “There’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s about


    the shares your father left you!”


    Su Ziyue stopped in her tracks when she heard that.


    “Just say it.” Su Ziyue stood in front of the car window without having any means of getting into the car.


    Su Yige gritted her teeth before she got out of the car, holding an umbre in her hand. She passed the


    document she was holding in her hand to Su Ziyue. “As long as youe back to the office and sign


    this document, you can have the shares your father left you.”


    Of course, Su Ziyue wouldn’t actually think that Su Yige and Su Youcheng would be so kind as to give


    her back the shares. However, she was reluctant to reject Su Yige’s offer.


    Despite having all the thoughts shed through her mind, her face remained expressionless. “Go on


    and finish what you have to say. Do you guys want to threaten me again? What do you guys n to


    make me do this time?”


    “You…”


    Su Yige grimaced when she heard Su Ziyue’s rude retort.


    “Just say it frankly if there’s anything you want to say. It’s just the two of us here, so stop pretending.”


    Su Ziyue narrowed her eyes as she looked at Su Yige with an irritated look on her face.


    Su Yige didn’t argue with her even though she was angry. “There’s only one condition—you have to


    come back to work at thepany, and the shares your father left you will be yours.”


    Su Ziyue stared at her without saying a word.


    “Just take it! Come to the office and look for Grandpa after you make up your mind about it.” As she


    said, Su Yige shoved the document she was holding in her hand toward Su Ziyue.


    Her hand just brushed through Su Ziyue lightly, but thetter fell down suddenly.


    Before Su Yige knew what had happened, she saw Gong Zeyanging out of nowhere and helping


    Su Ziyue to her feet.


    He turned to re at Su Yige with a reproachful look in his eyes. “Yige, why can’t you be more careful


    and gentler? Don’t be so udylike!”


    “I’m not. I didn’t even…” Su Yige tried to defend herself immediately, but before she could finish her


    sentence, she noticed that something was off.


    Su Ziyue, who was still being held by Gong Zeyang, carefully withdrew her arms from his grasp. She


    said softly, “Yige didn’t mean it. Zeyang, don’t be mad at her.”。


    Su Yige was someone who liked to use tricks and schemes, so she knew immediately that Su Ziyue


    pretended to fall down because she saw Gong Zeyang just now.


    “Ziyue, just now, you…” Although Su Yige was talking to Su Ziyue, she bit her lips and gazed at Gong


    Zeyang instead with a guilt-ridden look on her face. She thought Gong Zeyang would side with her just


    like he always did before this.


    However, Gong Zeyang’s heart melted instantly because it had been a while since Su Ziyue called him


    that way. Therefore, he unknowingly sided with Su Ziyue instead.


    Without paying much attention to the guilt-ridden look on Su Yige’s face, Gong Zeyang said directly, “I’ll


    send Ziyue home now since her clothes are soaking wet to keep her from catching a cold. Yige, we’ll


    have dinner tomorrow.”


    As he finished, he pulled Su Ziyue away and got into his car without even waiting for Su Yige’s reply.


    Earlier on, when Su Ziyue saw Gong Zeyang parking his car and walking toward them, an idea crossed


    her mind. Suddenly, she thought it would be a good opportunity to try out the so-called innocent girl’s


    exclusive skill; she didn’t expect that the trick would work out perfectly fine on Gong Zeyang.


    Su Ziyue turned and nced at Su Yige. Still using her gentle voice, she said, “Yige, I’ll go back first


    then…”


    Despite almost exploding with anger, Su Yige had to force a smile on her face. “Goodbye, Ziyue.”


    Very pleased with Su Yige’s reaction, Su Ziyue smiled while she followed Gong Zeyang and got into his


    car.


    When she was in his car, she was thinking about how to get rid of Gong Zeyang; she certainly didn’t


    want him to know where she stayed.


    Pretending to be meek and gentle, Su Ziyue lowered her eyes and said, “Zeyang, maybe you should


    just drop me by the roadside at the front, I don’t want Yige to misunderstand our rtionship.”


    “What’s there to misunderstand about? She and I are much older than you, so we should take care of


    you,” Gong Zeyang said while driving. Suddenly, he continued in a low voice, “We used to…”


    “Zeyang, everything’s in the past now, so you don’t have to worry about that anymore.”


    Su Ziyue lowered her head to prevent Gong Zeyang from noticing the disgusted look that flickered in


    her eyes. She wondered how she managed to address him so intimately by his name before this.


    “Maybe I should address you as Mr. Gong instead, just so Yige won’t misunderstand us.”


    Su Ziyue smirked. It’s impossible for Yige to stop messing with me, let alone looking after me! That’s


    just the most ridiculous joke of the year I’ve ever heard!


    “It’s my fault for misunderstanding you before this. We haven’t seen each other for so long, and I can’t


    believe you’ve be such a thoughtful person.” Gong Zeyang sounded a little dejected.


    Su Ziyue turned to nce at him before looking away again quickly.


    When she was young, Gong Zeyang had treated her nicely indeed. She wouldn’t have fallen in love


    with him before this if he wasn’t nice to her. In fact, she would probably still like him now if she didn’t


    hear him say those words in the shopping mall that time. After all, he was someone whom she had a


    crush on when she was young; even if she didn’t like him now, she couldn’t bring herself to hate him


    either.


    “Mr. Gong, you can drop me here. The residential area I stay in is just somewhere in front. You don’t


    have to send me over there.” Su Ziyue didn’t want to stay with Gong Zeyang anymore, getting tired of


    dealing with him.


    She wasn’t sure what Gong Zeyang had on his mind, but he nodded before removing his coat and


    wrapped it around Su Ziyue. He took an umbre and gave it to her. “Alright then, you can get down


    now.”


    In order to put on aplete show, Su Ziyue had to get off the car with his coat around her and his


    umbre in her hand. After getting out of the car, she turned around immediately and left without


    stopping or waving goodbye at him.


    Gong Zeyang drove away only after watching her enter the residential area.


    Hiding behind arge nt, Su Ziyue walked out after she saw that Gong Zeyang had left. She threw


    the coat and umbre into a garbage bin before hailing a cab and went home.


    When Su Ziyue reached home, she ordered food delivery; she had a headache after having her dinner,


    so she went to sleep early.


    However, she noticed that the longer she slept, the more tired she got. In the end, she felt dizzy and


    her body became heavy, feeling as though she couldn’t wake up anymore.


    She woke up once when it was seven o’clock in the evening and went back to sleep after having no


    energy to get out of bed; she realized she had a flu. However, she didn’t have the energy to even get


    up and take some flu medicine. Thus, she just wrapped herself in a nket and continued to sleep for


    as long as possible—perhaps she would recover after a long slumber.


    She had no idea how long she had been sleeping; in her half-conscious state, Su Ziyue noticed


    someone feeling her forehead, the sensation cool and soothing. She then inched upward involuntarily.


    After a while, she noticed there was an icy cold sensation on her forehead together with several voices


    talking too.


    Being in a half-conscious state, Su Ziyue was awake for a while, but the next moment, she was in a


    haze again. She just couldn’t wake up.


    When she finally opened her eyes, she noticed that the room was inplete darkness. Su Ziyue also


    felt that something was weighing down on her waist; she tried to move her body but failed to do so.

    She was dazed for a while before she suddenly noticed another person’s breathing sound beside her.


    There was a person beside her!
