Chapter 30 Li Yanzhou is Jealous
Lin Zeyuan looked up and gave a faint "hmm," adding, "Control the amount."
*
With a "ding-dong" sound, a WeChat message popped up.
Luo Tingwei practically jumped up from the bed.
She looked around the room, then looked up again, and finally, still feeling uneasy, took her phone into the bathroom.
Lin Zeyuan has been communicating with her about the dog recently.
She had to reply to his messages secretly every time, afraid that Li Yanzhou would find out and cause another disaster.
Although Li Yanzhou was suspicious, at least he wouldn't go through her phone.
So it all depends on her self-awareness; she has to try her best to avoid him when replying to messages.
Lin Zeyuan finally couldn't help but ask her, "Why do you stop replying to messages after 10 PM every day?"
She replied that she went to bed early.
Lin Zeyuan casually replied, "You weren't like this before, Laurinda."
Luo Tingwei's pupils contracted sharply when she saw her name suddenly appear on the screen.
"You know me?"
"Actually, we've met before in the United States."
"Really? Where is it?"
"The North Shore Water Sports Club, located inside the University of San Francisco, do you remember it?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the chat window.
"I don't think I remember."
She knew about the club; she passed by it every time she left school, but she didn't remember anything about her relationship with him.
Luo Tingwei typed quickly, "Then may I ask... were we very familiar with each other before?"
"I don't think so, we only met a few times."
That's true; he tried to ask her out several times, but she rejected him each time.
"To be honest, something happened to me before, and my memory has become really bad since then. I'm really sorry."
Luo Tingwei explained.
Lin Zeyuan was very magnanimous. "It's okay, let's get to know each other again. I'm Roland Lin Zeyuan. I remember you used to frequent the club, but I don't think you could swim."
Yes, she can't swim.
It seems that Lin Zeyuan does indeed know her.
However, according to him, if he can't swim, why would he be at a water sports club?
After all, in her memory, she didn't seem to have ever gone inside; she had only ever passed by.
Lin Zeyuan chuckled and teased her, "Don't you remember? Once you fell into deep water and there was no one around. I was the one who saved you."
Is this even possible?
Luo Tingwei became increasingly suspicious. If what he said was true, then wouldn't he be her savior?
After all, she can't swim at all.
Just then, footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a knock.
"Luo Tingwei, are you inside?"
It was Li Yanzhou's voice.
Startled, she quickly turned off her phone and replied, "Yes."
"I... am about to take a shower."
She didn't lock the door, and the next second, Li Yanzhou pushed the door open and came in, his gaze fixed on her.
It carries a sense of scrutiny.
"I need to shower too, let's shower together."
The man spoke calmly.
At that moment, her phone screen lit up and a green message notification popped up.
Luo Tingwei's heart jumped into her throat.
Li Yanzhou's gaze shot straight at him, his eyes suddenly darkening, and he gave a low command.
"Turn on your phone."
Luo Tingwei hesitated for a moment, "How about I take a shower first? I can come back later."
"Open."
The two short and powerful words convey an undeniable sense of authority.
Luo Tingwei closed her eyes in despair, then quickly opened them again, reluctantly unlocking her phone.
It really was Lin Zeyuan.
Fortunately, nothing too offensive was posted; it was just a picture of Rio.
It seems to have a bit of diarrhea.
She has already deleted all the chat logs above.
But in Li Yanzhou's eyes, this was undoubtedly a case of trying to hide something obvious.
The man stared intently at the message, his fingers slowly tightening, as if trying to see right through her.
"Lin Zeyuan..." he murmured the name, his voice as cold as a blade.
Luo Tingwei's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly explained, "He... he was just talking about the dog's condition."
"Does the dog's condition require you to hide in the bathroom during the day to reply to messages?"
The cold glint in the man's eyes was as sharp as a hawk's.
Forced to take a step back, Luo Tingwei's back pressed against the cold tiles, her throat dry with tension.
"I haven't done anything to wrong you."
"Then why delete the chat history?"
He took a step closer, his voice low and menacing, carrying a hint of danger and restraint.
The air seemed to freeze instantly, and Luo Tingwei's fingertips trembled, almost causing her to drop her phone.
“I…” she wanted to speak, but found that she had no suitable reason at all.
Li Yanzhou reached out and snatched the phone from her hand, his long fingers swiping rapidly across the screen.
Finding nothing else, his gaze grew even colder.
"Deleted everything cleanly, very clever."
He chuckled, looking down at her with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"Unfortunately, the more you try to hide it, the more suspicious you become to me."
Luo Tingwei's breath hitched, her lips trembled, and her face turned deathly pale.
"Really, no, I deleted it because I was afraid you'd overthink it. We were just chatting online. Please believe me this once, it's not what you think..."
The man suddenly lowered his head, his lips almost brushing against her ear, his voice extremely low.
"Okay, I believe you."
"Then delete him in front of me. I'll arrange for someone else to handle the dog matter with him."
Luo Tingwei gasped, "Isn't that a bit impolite?"
"I'm not discussing this with you."
Li Yanzhou interrupted her, brushing a stray hair from her forehead behind her ear, a gesture that carried a hint of both kindness and severity.
"Either delete him, or don't use your phone at all starting today."
After saying that, he started filling the bathtub with water.
The sound of rushing water, mixed with the mist, made her feel even more awkward standing there.
*
"Sorry, you are no longer the other party's WeChat friend."
A red exclamation mark appeared in front of Lin Zeyuan's eyes.
With a "thud," he impatiently tossed his phone onto the sofa.
One second we were chatting happily, the next second I deleted him.
A bad feeling crept into his mind; something must have happened to her.
Was it that man who put pressure on her?
"Young Master, we've found it."
At this moment, the butler stepped forward, looking alert.
"Li Yanzhou?"
Lin Zeyuan's expression changed, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. "It was actually him."
Everyone knows that almost half of Black City is currently under Li Yanzhou's control.
"Young Master, I heard that Miss Luo is having a very hard time right now. She was forcibly taken away by Li Yanzhou on the day the Luo family had their accident."
“Li Yanzhou didn’t treat her like a human being either. He imprisoned her in the villa like a canary, letting her do whatever she wanted.”
The butler continued to share the intelligence he had gathered.
"oh?"
Lin Zeyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a faint smile, "Then she must hate that guy surnamed Li to the extreme."
"That's natural."
"Young Master, if you were to act as her protector at this moment and rescue her from that hellhole, Miss Luo would be eternally grateful to you."
The butler spoke with a fawning expression.
