Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: You Think You Can Stab Me and Run?

The fruit knife was snatched by Lin Zhiyi from the fruit plate on the living room coffee table.

She had a premonition that Gong Chen would come.

And indeed, he did, only her knife was blocked by him.

He effortlessly pinned the blade, rendering Lin Zhiyi’s attempts to push futile.

Lin Zhiyi’s eyes were red-rimmed, with waves of hatred swirling in their depths, yet her face was ashen, her lips bitterly clenched.

Deep bite marks on her lips bled a stark crimson.

Gong Chen stared at her with unfathomable eyes.

Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to give in, he loosened his grip, and the fruit knife slashed across his palm, spilling blood.

Lin Zhiyi suddenly froze.

But Gong Chen merely said indifferently, "Well?"

"Madman! Madman!"

Lin Zhiyi threw the fruit knife and turned to leave.

But the person behind her caught her neck with one hand, spun her around, and pulled her into a domineering kiss.

Lin Zhiyi’s eyes widened, and she hit him with all her might, but he was unmoved and kissed her even more intensely.

Rain clung to the tips of his hair, ran down his cheeks, and his eyes appeared misty, or perhaps obscured by dense fog, hiding the chaos she couldn’t understand.

As the rain grew heavier and the cold drops pelted them, Lin Zhiyi shivered, and the man before her broke the kiss, gripping her neck half-tight, both frantic and restrained.

"If I weren’t mad, how could I..."

The sound of rain battering the umbrella drowned out everything else; Lin Zhiyi heard nothing but looked up at the umbrella suddenly extended over her head.

Chen Jin held a large umbrella for them, concerned, "Third Young Master, the autumn rain is chilly, and you’ve just recovered from an illness not long ago, Miss Lin is also of a delicate constitution."

Gong Chen frowned at the drenched Lin Zhiyi: "Get in the car."

"Let go! I’m not getting in! Uncle! Don’t forget, this has nothing to do with you!" Lin Zhiyi emphasized the word "uncle."

"I should’ve known better than to expect anything nice out of your mouth."

"Ah!"

Lin Zhiyi was abruptly hoisted over Gong Chen’s shoulder and carried to the car.

As he was leaving, Gong Chen cast a dark glance at Chen Jin.

Chen Jin, startled, involuntarily tightened his grip on the umbrella handle.

What had he done wrong?

Wasn’t he just worried they’d catch a cold?

Once in the car, Chen Jin immediately took out the first-aid kit.

"Third Young Master, your hand..."

"It’s nothing, she doesn’t have much strength." Gong Chen casually grabbed a towel from the cabinet and wiped the blood off his palm.

Looking at the towel quickly turning red, Chen Jin was shocked; was this nothing?

Just as he was about to remind him, he caught Gong Chen’s meaningful gaze and immediately understood Gong Chen’s intent.

He nodded, "Yes."

After handing over the first-aid kit, Chen Jin immediately turned up the heat and considerately closed the partition.

After cleaning the wound, Gong Chen quickly wrapped it with a bandage, temporarily stopping the bleeding.

His gaze then shifted to Lin Zhiyi, curled up in the corner.

Her face was buried in her knees, revealing her delicate white neck, with skin dampened, resembling a peeled lychee, translucent as jade.

Yet, the way her hands trembled drew a deeper look from him.

Gong Chen reached out to pull at her wrist, but she resisted with stiff arms.

Lin Zhiyi clenched her clothes, hiding her wounds, and said through pain, "Let me off at the subway station ahead, I can go back myself."

She thought she spoke with dignity.

But in Gong Chen’s eyes, she looked no different from a drenched, grimacing kitten.

Her hand had gone pale with pain, yet she was still stubbornly resisting.

"Stab me with a knife and think you can run? How many bad deals have I made with you? Hand!" _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
