Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198: Chapter 198: You’re Not Even Comparable to Shen Yan

Lin Zhiyi walked out of the lounge, heavy-hearted.

As soon as she looked up, she heard Gong Shiyan scolding Gong Chen with displeasure.

"Lao San, you were too reckless! Dad cares so much about reputation, weren’t you just publicly humiliating him?"

"For the future of the family, sacrificing a bit of face, he would understand," Gong Chen said expressionlessly.

"You... so you’re willing to give up your own reputation too?"

Gong Shiyan was much older than Gong Chen, like an elder brother acting as a father, his tone inevitably heavy.

Lin Zhiyi stood beside them, looking down at her shoe tips.

She felt like an outsider, yet her ears quietly awaited the man’s answer.

*She also couldn’t comprehend why Gong Chen made such a big deal.*

The man’s voice was characteristically indifferent, "I don’t care either."

Lin Zhiyi’s whole being sank instantly, *so he cared about no one, the family interests were paramount.*

*No surprise, yet her mind still went blank for a moment.*

Even Gong Shiyan drew in a sharp breath.

*No wonder Gong Chen could hold the highest position, he was so heartless and indifferent, who could match him?*

He saw the blood seeping from Gong Chen’s forehead again and hurriedly said, "You should go to the hospital, I can handle things here."

"Hmm."

Gong Chen turned and left.

Lin Zhiyi lowered her head and stepped back to make way for him, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by him, pulling her along.

She looked up in surprise at the figure before her, struggling, "Uncle, what are you doing? Uncle and my mom..."

"They left," Gong Chen pointed behind her.

Only then did Lin Zhiyi realize that Gong Shiyan and Liu He had quietly disappeared.

She pursed her lips, "I need to help my mom entertain the guests."

Just as she turned, her body was pulled back, and the man trapped her from behind.

He whispered in her ear, "Do you really want to stay at my wedding banquet this much?"

The domineering scent from the man invaded Lin Zhiyi’s nose, the painful sensation from her body being ground upon returned once more.

"Wasn’t it Uncle’s idea to make me the bridesmaid?"

Annoyed, she reached to pry off his arm, but he clasped her fingers tightly.

His palm was dry and warm, his fingertips lightly brushed the back of her hand.

"This wedding is only missing a bride, not a bridesmaid."

Lin Zhiyi was momentarily stunned.

"Hmm?" His hot breath fell, as if waiting for something.

Lin Zhiyi turned her face away forcefully, as if a ripple spread out around her.

In the silence between them, guests who were leaving approached.

Flustered, Lin Zhiyi urged, "Let go of me quickly!"

Gong Chen said nothing, leading her past the crowd toward the parking lot.

Once in the car, Chen Jin saw Gong Chen’s wound and immediately started the vehicle.

"Third Young Master, I’ve already informed Li Huan, he’s waiting for you at the hospital."

While driving, Chen Jin noticed Gong Chen’s wound bleeding again and glanced at Lin Zhiyi.

"Miss Lin, the first aid kit is in the cabinet in front of you, could you please help Third Young Master stop the bleeding temporarily?"

Catching Chen Jin’s pleading look, Lin Zhiyi felt it was hard to refuse.

Besides, if Gong Chen hadn’t stepped aside earlier, it would have been her who was bleeding now.

Lin Zhiyi nodded, took out the first aid kit, unwrapped the gauze, and turned to Gong Chen.

His wound was on the other side, and with his impressive height, she found it a bit inconvenient to reach over, so she had to lean toward him.

"Uncle, come closer," Lin Zhiyi reminded.

"Like this?"

Gong Chen turned suddenly.

His deep eyes were so close to Lin Zhiyi.

His features were excellently structured, defined and profound, with thick eyelashes both above and below. As he squinted slightly, there was a lustrous sheen in his eyes, abstinent yet dangerous, exuding an intimidating aura that warned outsiders away.

Lin Zhiyi lost focus for a moment before quickly looking up at his wound, wiping away the bloodstains, and pressing a piece of gauze against it.

Even at such close quarters, try as she might to ignore the man’s presence, she couldn’t disregard his invasive gaze.

Suppressing her breath, Lin Zhiyi moved back to open the distance between them.

Chen Jin glanced through the rearview mirror with a knowing expression.

Suddenly, a sharp brake was applied, sending Lin Zhiyi tumbling toward Gong Chen, her body crashing into his chest, accidentally kissing the corner of his lips.

Gong Chen looked at her reddened face, glistening like a freshly peeled peach in the sunlight, watery and tender. _{freёweɓnovel.com}
