Chapter 433: How Dare You Come Here?

Chapter 433: Chapter 433: How Dare You Come Here?

Cheng Zhiwei dared not let Xu Tian find out, so she curtly ended the call.

Zhou Lin didn’t get a hold of the phone and stretched out his arms to wrap Cheng Zhiwei entirely in his embrace, his voice low, grinding his teeth as he asked, "With whom are you trying to rekindle an old romance?"

Cheng Zhiwei shot him a look and, not wanting to make too much noise, asked quietly, "How did you get here?"

Isn’t he supposed to be at the police station?

Isn’t he afraid of Zhou Chenyan finding out?

"It doesn’t matter. I’m officially detained now, no one can see me," he said indifferently. "I’ve made arrangements; it’s fine."

He was idle all day inside there, it was better to sneak out and see Cheng Zhiwei.

Cheng Zhiwei smelled his scent and pushed him to take a shower.

He couldn’t stay here long; he needed to leave before the child got out of school.

So he obediently went.

Cheng Zhiwei hadn’t prepared any men’s clothes at home, so she could only throw his clothes into the washing machine to wash and dry them. She then found him a large bath towel she used.

For Zhou Lin, however, it was a bit small, so he wrapped it simply around his waist, leaving his upper body bare.

Cheng Zhiwei felt uncomfortable but couldn’t say anything, just trying to control her gaze.

Yet Zhou Lin, perhaps intentionally, kept wandering around in front of her, following her no matter what she was doing.

Cheng Zhiwei accidentally bumped into his embrace.

She stepped back and hit the door frame, her waist caught and pinned against the door, unable to move.

Zhou Lin leaned down to kiss her cheek, his voice husky, "Zhiwei."

He carefully leaned down, trying to kiss her lips.

Cheng Zhiwei turned her head to avoid it.

Zhou Lin paused, then chuckled, touching her cheek.

He knew that when she was fully conscious, she wouldn’t accept his kiss unless he forced it.

Or like that previous time in the hospital when she had an accident.

Just when the atmosphere became awkward, the doorbell rang again. Zhou Lin glanced outside and opened the door directly.

Cheng Zhiwei didn’t even have a chance to ask who it was.

But there was no need to ask anymore because that person had already come in.

"Senior," Cheng Zhiwei exclaimed in surprise.

He Ye’s gaze swept over Zhou Lin’s body, wrapped only in a towel around his waist, and his face darkened, "What are you doing here?"

And not dressed yet.

Cheng Zhiwei hurriedly explained, "His clothes are drying, it will take a little while."

He Ye threw down what he was holding onto the table with a cold laugh, glaring at Zhou Lin, "Do you know if you are found out, everything we’ve worked for will fall apart?"

He was practically making a joke of their recent efforts.

Zhou Lin raised an eyebrow and sat down on the sofa, "Then what are you doing here? Aren’t you afraid Wen Yongan will find out?"

He Ye was stumped.

The two men looked at each other, neither backing down.

Cheng Zhiwei looked from one to the other, folding her arms and frowning, "What have you two been hiding from me?"

He Ye immediately said, "He wants me to help him take over our family company, he’s planning a comeback."

"He Mingzhu was abandoned by He Rongwei, she will soon come asking for help. When the time comes, follow up on those few projects she has left," Zhou Lin spoke earnestly.

He Ye sat on the adjacent sofa, looking disdainfully at Zhou Lin’s undressed state, "Understood."

Zhou Lin was amused by his expression, aware of his own relationship with Cheng Zhiwei and He Ye’s relationship with her, yet he still showed displeasure.

If they weren’t currently partners, he wouldn’t tolerate He Ye giving him such looks.

He deliberately irritated He Ye, "Does Wen Yi know you’re here?"

He Ye remained silent.

He came here to see Cheng Zhiwei and incidentally to inform her about He Mingzhu’s matter.

He wanted her to know that he was now firmly established in the He family, and she just needed to wait a bit longer, then he would have enough capability to protect her thoroughly.

That kind of incident wouldn’t happen again.

But Zhou Lin was here.

Zhou Lin glanced at the things He Ye brought, food, drinks, even toys.

He scoffed disdainfully, thinking that next time he himself came over, he needed to bring even more.

Cheng Zhiwei brought Zhou Lin’s clothes in from the balcony, "Go change your clothes."

Zhou Lin hesitated but then went. In such a short time, even if the two talked, they wouldn’t sort anything substantial out.

"Sorry for keeping this from you," He Ye started.

"It’s alright," Cheng Zhiwei said happily. "Though it was passive, it’s good to have control in your own hands."

A smile finally appeared on He Ye’s face. He glanced at the door but couldn’t help asking about her and Zhou Lin, "What are your plans with him?"

Cheng Zhiwei fell silent; she and Zhou Lin... what could they do?

Entangled repeatedly, she actually felt tired.

Whether actively or passively, she now felt that living a quiet life was better than anything.

"I’m following Wen Ya now, starting with some work," she evaded He Ye’s question.

He Ye nodded, "That’s good, focusing on your career is better than anything."

"Thank you, Senior."

Both of them continued their conversation when the doorbell rang again.

Cheng Zhiwei looked out and saw Wen Yongan and Wen Yi. She subconsciously looked at He Ye, hesitated for a few seconds, then decided to open the door.

Hiding only leads to more misunderstandings.

She opened the door.

Wen Yi grabbed Cheng Zhiwei, "Sister Zhiwei, I’m here to apologize. Father has already investigated; it was a friend of mine who did it intentionally. She knew about you and Big Brother He and wanted to take revenge for me. She didn’t expect that you would be saved by Big Brother He."

Wen Yongan stated blandly, "Indeed, but it was unrelated to Mingzhu."

Cheng Zhiwei ignored him, only advising Wen Yi, "Such friends are better not to keep."

"Yes, I know... Big Brother He?" Wen Yi stared in shock at the suddenly appeared He Ye.

"Let’s talk inside," Cheng Zhiwei invited them in.

Wen Yongan glanced at Wen Yi’s forced smile, his face darkening, "He Ye, what are you doing here?"

He Ye honestly replied, "I came to see Zhiwei."

"A man and a woman alone..." Wen Yongan was furious; he had never liked their association, especially since He Ye had repeatedly hurt Wen Yi for Cheng Zhiwei’s sake.

And now he had caught him again.

"He Ye, are you truly sincere towards Wen Yi?" Wen Yongan questioned emotionlessly. "If you don’t have feelings for her, break up with her immediately."

"Dad!" Wen Yi was startled.

"Shut up," Wen Yongan was truly angry now, showing no kindness to Wen Yi, "He treats you like this, and you still defend him; do you have no temper?"

"I’m not..."

"You misunderstand," Cheng Zhiwei explained, "He just came to deliver some items."

"What items could he possibly need to deliver personally?" Wen Yongan scoffed. "You’re just exploiting Wen Yi’s innocence. I’m calling He Rongwei right now to see how he’s raised his son."

The atmosphere turned awkward and tense.
