Chapter 1587: Measuring with a Glance

Ji Yanzhi was speechless. Seeing the door about to close, he finally smartened up and reached out to hold the door open.

“Zhenzhen, you talk with Mr. Gao. I’ll leave first. If anything comes up, just find me.”

“Wait,” Lu Zhenzhen called out to him, “Have you figured out what happened last night? You just want to leave?”

Ji Yanzhi blushed immediately. He instinctively turned around, then quickly turned back, eyes fixed on the door handle, not daring to look around.

“Didn’t I just explain everything to you? Nothing happened between us last night.”

Gao Zhe shot him a glance.

Ji Yanzhi ignored it.

He was only concerned about Lu Zhenzhen.

“How can you say nothing happened? I have someone here for you to recognize.”

Lu Zhenzhen opened the wardrobe door and pulled out a woman tied up in five different ways. This was a technique Nan Jiaojiao had taught; not even someone with the Bone Shrinking Skill could escape. Her mouth was stuffed. Last night, Lu Zhenzhen had haphazardly grabbed something to gag her to prevent any noise.

“Shi Yun?”

Ji Yanzhi walked quickly over and suddenly understood everything. He closed his eyes briefly and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Zhenzhen. I’ll get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation today.”

“What she used wasn’t sophisticated. I could smell it immediately, but she pushed me and hit me, which left me weak. After inhaling the incense, I passed out. When you knocked on the door last night, I was still somewhat conscious, but I didn’t know if you were with her, so I decided to knock you out first.”

It was reasonable and straightforward. Ji Yanzhi, who had a bump on his head, could only accept the silent loss. Moreover, with Shi Yun there, indeed, he was not free of responsibility.

“I know, I don’t blame you. It’s my fault. My people disturbed you.”

Shi Yun was awake, though it was unclear for how long. Her makeup was smeared from crying, and her eyes were swollen. As soon as she saw Ji Yanzhi, she began to sob, large tears rolling down as if she had suffered a great injustice.

But Ji Yanzhi ignored her and didn’t even touch her. He called in two attendants to drag her away.

“In the pocket are several sets of clothes my sister packed for you. They’ve all been washed, and she hasn’t worn them.”

Lu Zhenzhen nodded, “Thank you.”

Ji Yanzhi felt a bit uncomfortable receiving the thanks. He could tell that Lu Zhenzhen’s attitude towards him had become much colder.

After he left, Gao Zhe opened the bag, reached in to grab a piece of lingerie, and stared at the size tag coldly, “He really knows.”

Lu Zhenzhen swiftly snatched the lingerie away, rolling her eyes at him, “Why can’t my bust size be measured by eye?”

Gao Zhe’s brow immediately furrowed.

Lu Zhenzhen ignored him, grabbed the clothes, and left. She rummaged through them, found extra items, and threw the piece Gao Zhe had touched into the trash can.

Back at her hotel, Gao Zhe followed her in. While she was changing shoes, he caught her by the waist and turned her against the shoe cabinet.

Lu Zhenzhen’s lower back was pressed, the injuries from last night’s attack by Shi Yun still unaddressed, and she winced in pain. Gao Zhe’s expression changed, and he turned her around again, this time pressing his back against the wall.

He tugged at Lu Zhenzhen’s clothes, and when she reached to stop him, she couldn’t. She began to tug at his clothes as well, quickly pulling off his jacket. With a strong pull, the shirt buttons popped, one flying directly towards her face.

Lu Zhenzhen closed her eyes and instinctively turned her head to avoid it, but a hand cradled the back of her head, and the man’s kiss soon followed.
