Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Just Remember It Was Me

When Gong Yan was bound hand and foot, Lin Zhiyi finally dared to confirm that she was truly safe.

By this time, she was already drenched in cold sweat, her body limp.

As she collapsed, a pair of hands caught her, lifting her in a cradle carry and heading towards the door.

A scene identical to one from her past life.

The only difference was that this time, they were both unharmed.

Lin Zhiyi always feared that it was all a dream. She lifted her hand and touched the man’s face.

His beard was scraggly.

"It’s prickly."

"I’ll shave it later," Gong Chen’s tone had clearly relaxed a bit.

"Gong Chen."

Lin Zhiyi caressed his brows and eyes, calling out softly.

Hearing this, he paused his steps.

"Mhm."

With his response, Lin Zhiyi instantly relaxed, sinking into darkness.

When she slept, it was as if the sky darkened and the earth dimmed.

In her dreams, she retrieved the memories that had been sealed away.

It felt as if the whole world had turned upside down.

Though she had avoided everything that happened in this life, she still couldn’t accept the reality.

What did she, Xingxing, and the unborn child who couldn’t survive all the scheming amount to?

Thump, thump, thump.

The knocking on the door sounded again.

After returning to the country, Gong Chen took her directly back to the Gong family’s home.

From time to time, Liu He and Gong Shiyan would knock on the door to check in.

But she had ignored them.

She didn’t know how to face everything now after opening this door.

Outside, the two people became increasingly anxious with no response.

"What should we do? She’s still ignoring us," Liu He hesitated.

"I’ll go," Gong Shiyan glanced at the door before turning and leaving the courtyard.

After the noise outside ceased, Lin Zhiyi wrapped herself tighter with the blanket and clutched her stomach, but she still felt very cold.

Moments later, the inside of the blanket suddenly warmed.

Lin Zhiyi opened her eyes, and upon moving, she felt a hand around her waist, and in her alarm, she began to struggle.

"Let go!"

"It’s me."

The man’s contained voice slowly filled the dim room.

It was Gong Chen.

But Lin Zhiyi resisted even more fiercely, her mind filled with images from her past life, unable to accept that version of herself.

She didn’t know how to face Gong Chen, the child who wasn’t born, or herself now.

"Let go," she said icily.

Gong Chen let her tug, instead holding her even tighter.

Lin Zhiyi hadn’t eaten and had little strength.

Eventually, she gasped for air, gave up struggling, and let him hold her.

"Turn around and let me look at you," the man’s voice was extremely soft, completely different from his usual indifferent tone.

Lin Zhiyi clenched her teeth, stubbornly clutching the blanket and refusing to move.

Behind her, there was a rustling noise, and by the time she realized it, the man had already rolled over in front of her.

As she met his gaze, Lin Zhiyi instinctively pulled the blanket over her face, but he stopped her with his hand.

He pinched her chin and lifted it slightly: "That kick of yours. Gong Yan might not recover from it in this lifetime." _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

"..."

Lin Zhiyi didn’t understand why he suddenly brought this up.

Gong Chen shifted his position on the pillow, drawing even closer.

Their breaths mingled, their gazes intertwined.

His usually cold black eyes cast a golden warmth under the warm light of her bedside lamp.

It made him shine with a faint halo from his head to his toes, his voice even took on warmth.

"Lin Zhiyi, this isn’t your fault."
