Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Did Zhiyi say something about me?

Lin Zhiyi turned around, only to be cornered by a shadow that fell upon her.

Gong Chen toyed with the towel in his hand, his slightly messy hair lending his face a touch of wicked allure.

She attempted to dodge, but her body was instantly confined against a strong chest.

Her yet to be articulated explanation was drowned in a kiss that teased and stopped short of deepening.

A light touch, as though she were something incredibly fragile.

Such gentleness unsettled Lin Zhiyi, making her even more panicked than before, and she even forgot to raise her hands to fend off the man’s approach.

He whispered against her lips, very lightly repeating, "Boyfriend?"

"I lied..."

"Shut up."

He seemed to know what she was about to say and cut her off mid-sentence.

The kiss deepened slowly and deliberately, yet it made the world spin.

Lin Zhiyi’s mind went blank, as though time had stopped, but her heart was in turmoil.

Suddenly, she pushed Gong Chen away and sneezed.

Achoo!

Gong Chen stared at her with narrowed eyes. The tall man’s expression tensed, and he turned and walked into the house.

After changing her shoes, Lin Zhiyi wrapped herself tightly in her coat and followed him inside.

Gong Chen emerged from the bathroom and firmly commanded, "Go take a shower."

Lin Zhiyi’s nose was already dripping with mucus. Without any refusal, she headed straight for the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom, it was warm, and water was filling the bathtub.

She stared blankly at the gushing water for a moment.

Why was Gong Chen doing this?

"Achoo."

She sneezed again and shivered, quickly shedding her coat to approach the tub.

Catching sight of herself in the mirror, she was reminded of the awkward moment before and quickly submerged herself in the warm water, leaving only her injured hand resting on the edge of the tub.

Trying to cover the flush on her body.

After soaking for a while, the chill on Lin Zhiyi’s body dissipated.

Thinking that Gong Chen was waiting outside, she felt it necessary to clarify the situation at the Gong Family earlier.

She really did not want to be dragged into the overt and covert struggle between Gong Chen and Gong Yan.

After dressing, she walked out of the bathroom to find Gong Chen also changing into clean clothes brought by Chen Jin.

At that moment, he was facing away from her, buttoning his shirt.

Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to speak, his phone rang by his side.

He glanced at it without noticing her and walked over to the window to take the call.

"Wanqiu."

"What else do you need?"

"I’ll send it over shortly."

Watching how Gong Chen was ever at the ready to respond to Song Wanqiu, Lin Zhiyi retraced her steps.

The rosiness on her face faded completely, and she didn’t even know how to begin speaking when Gong Chen turned around.

So, she retreated to the bathroom again.

Inside, the mist concealed her slender figure quite well.

The noises from outside came intermittently, finally leaving only the sound of a door closing.

Lin Zhiyi bit her lip, her eyes reflecting a mix of confusion and coldness.

...

At the Song Family residence.

Hearing the sound of a car parking, Song Wanqiu eagerly ran out to greet the arrival.

"Third Young Master, you’re here. Please come in, I’ve made tea for you in advance."

As she spoke, her hand reached out toward him.

Gong Chen, however, pulled out a document and placed it between them.

"No, thanks. This is the mining area information Liu Xinna requested. Tell Liu Xinna to give a prompt response. I don’t like dragging things out."

Liu Xinna’s father had risen quickly in rank with the help of his family in the past two years, attracting envy.

As a businessman, it was best for Gong Chen to avoid direct contact with the Liu Family.

This highlighted the importance of Song Wanqiu.

Song Wanqiu’s smile stiffened, but she obediently took the documents, inwardly reluctant as she asked again, "Third Young Master, did you just come to deliver the documents?"
