Chapter 1586: Try Laying a Finger on Him

Ji Yanzhi was a bit surprised.

He even took a moment to recognize who the person in front of him was.

After all, since returning to the country, he hadn’t had much contact with mainland capital. He couldn’t quite recall Gao Zhe’s childhood features, but judging by the expression on the other person’s face, he instinctively assumed he was Gao Zhe.

“Mr. Gao.”

After a brief moment of confusion, Ji Yanzhi steadied himself, his expression and tone showing no trace of panic.

Gao Zhe’s face was cold, like King Yan, staring intently for a long time, those clear eyes hiding a cold agitation, extremely dangerous, but in an instant, the killing intent subsided.

“Is Zhenzhen inside?”

Ji Yanzhi instinctively glanced inside, without speaking.

Gao Zhe snorted coldly and forced his way in, Ji Yanzhi blocked his path with one step, “Mr. Gao, it’s not convenient.”

“You’re going to stop me?”

The man’s voice was low, with a natural authority that needed no anger to command respect.

Ji Yanzhi knew of Gao Zhe’s reputation; he had admired this man before. However, when Lu Zhenzhen mentioned Gao Zhe last night, her state would have made anyone feel heartbroken.

He had no intention of getting involved in other people’s relationships, and he knew it was indeed inappropriate for him to stand there, but he still blocked the way, “If you want to go in, you should ask Zhenzhen first.”

Gao Zhe’s expression gradually cooled down, the light at the entrance was dim, and the corridor light cast behind Gao Zhe. He just stood there, his profile sharp and chiseled like a knife, looking particularly sullen, with fierce jawlines as if turned into the edge of a blade.

“Heh…”

He laughed softly, stepped back to stand outside the door, “Alright, I’ll wait.”

About twenty minutes passed, and the two men did not say another word, standing face to face, the atmosphere tense and on the brink of conflict.

Until Lu Zhenzhen came out of the bathroom.

White steam from the bathroom spilled out as the door opened. Wrapped in a bathrobe, her legs were white with a pink hue, slender and straight, catching the eye amidst the mist. Her hair was tied with a shark clip, strands by her temples not meticulously gathered, and the hair around her neck soaked from the water.

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and asked, “Who’s talking?”

Ji Yanzhi didn’t turn around, only glancing back for a moment, not seeing clearly before looking away out of tact.

He said, “It’s Mr. Gao, here to see you.”

Lu Zhenzhen paused, her brows immediately knitting together.

She slowly walked to the doorway, adjusted the edge of her bathrobe to conveniently fold her arms, her face and neck still bearing droplets of water not yet dried, making her appear enchanting.

Yet she used a dull direct gaze, staring indifferently at Gao Zhe, who also looked back, their eyes meeting, he raised an eyebrow, and Lu Zhenzhen suddenly laughed.

“Gao Zhe, try touching him once.”

Gao Zhe tugged at the corners of his mouth, “Haven’t even touched yet, I must ask you first before laying a hand.”

His implication was that he hadn’t gotten better tempered nor planned to control himself, just that he wasn’t as violent anymore. However, should she wish to see it, he would beat the person for fun.

Ji Yanzhi’s heart turned cold.

He shouldn’t have come here.

“Come inside, what are you doing standing at the door? With you two like this, even a passing dog would wonder, the dog’s mind can’t even tell who’s the adulterer.”

Ji Yanzhi: “…”

Gao Zhe responded, “Alright.”

Then he stepped slightly inside and said to Ji Yanzhi, “Could you move a bit inside so I can close the door?”
