Chapter 26: Extorting a Confession — Forget about today's fragrant pan-fried sablefish.

♕

The doctor probably had an august disposition and normally wouldn't get angry easily. Anyone, however, would be forced to want to kneel down to him the split second his his face darkened.

Ye Zhen Zhen felt this exact feeling right now. Ji Zhe Yan merely looked at her, and she immediately felt the air inside seem to become heavier, pressing down and softening her knees somewhat.

"Doc—doctor Ji, let's eat first..." Ye Zhen Zhen clumsily changed topics. Ji Zhe Yan pursed his lips, pulled out a chair at the dining table, and sat down. "If you don't explain clearly, then forget about today's fragrant pan-fried sablefish. "

Ye Zhen Zhen: "..."

He actually held the food hostage to threaten her—truly too despicable.

Ye Zhen Zhen mumbled for quite a while before finally confessing everything under Dr. Ji's penetrating gaze. "Last night, I was assaulted. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have run into a small alley to buy milk tea. " Ye Zhen Zhen fearlessly placed all the blame on her own shoulders.

Ji Zhe Yan's complexion, however, just became even more unsightly.

"Someone assaulted you?!" He rose from his chair and pulled Ye Zhen Zhen to him to carefully examine her. "Are there any injuries?"

"No. " Ye Zhen Zhen firmly shook her head. "I used my pepper spray canister on him, causing him to run away. The police are already investigating, so you don't need to worry. "

Ji Zhe Yan once again examined the marks on her neck, confirming that there weren't any major problems. Only then did he twist an eyebrow as he looked at her. "Did someone assault you after I left? Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"Oh, I felt it was just a small matter..."

"Small matter? Then what would you call a big matter?" Ji Zhe Yan's tone held a trace of anger. "Forget about today's fragrant pan-fried sablefish. "

Ye Zhen Zhen: "..."

This was precisely a big matter.

Originally, she wanted to argue with Dr. Ji about how food was the God of the people, but when she saw his tightly pursed lips, she inexplicably strayed.

"Sorry. " Ye Zhen Zhen's voice was miniscule, her lowered head making her look like a primary school student who erred extremely.

Ji Zhe Yan's lips twitched, and he released an inaudible sigh. "It should be me who apologizes. If I waited until your chauffeur came before leaving, this also wouldn't..."

He trailed off. He obviously knew her situation was dangerous, yet he still left her alone. If something actually had occurred, he would regret it for a lifetime.

Ye Zhen Zhen was a bit worried. Dr. Ji really had begun blaming himself. Just as she was about to justify her stance, she heard Ji Zhe Yan say, "In the future, you cannot roam the streets at night. You must return home before dusk. "

Don't be like this! The outcome Ye Zhen Zhen worried the most about happened. If she must return home before dusk, how could she eat dinner, take walks, and watch movies with Dr. Ji?!

"That person definitely knows I alerted the police already and won't be able to face into the wind to commit a crime!"1 Ye Zhen Zhen was truly anxious. If she couldn't see Dr. Ji, then her life would lose its sole joy as well!

"The police won't be able to protect you all day. If he wants to, he can always find an opportunity. " Ji Zhe Yan, however, remained firm. This type of event happening once was more than enough. If it happened a second time, he wouldn't want to pin his hopes that her luck would be this good again.
