Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Chapter 226: By What Identity Do You Command Me?

After using the restroom, Lin Zhiyi didn’t immediately return to the private room.

She always felt out of place with the atmosphere inside.

Especially since Old Mr. Gong kept giving her meaningful looks, seemingly urging her to leave.

Lin Zhiyi walked toward the rest area on the other end of the corridor.

She opened the glass door, and the cold wind hit her face. She shrank her neck, wrapped her arms around herself, and leaned against the railing to gaze at the distant scenery.

Once her emotions settled, Lin Zhiyi thought of her unfinished duties and prepared to head back to the private room.

As she turned around, she bumped into a man’s cold, hard chest. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

Lifting her eyelids slightly, she met his icy gaze, feeling a cold air fill her chest that made her teeth chatter.

Lin Zhiyi took a step back and attempted to look steady, "Third Young Master, what do you want?"

Gong Chen didn’t answer right away but instead closed in on her with every step until she was backed up against the railing, with no place to retreat.

He propped an arm up, caging her in front of him, his dark eyes flickering with a cold glint.

When he spoke, his voice was laced with mockery, "Wearing the clothes I bought for you, attending banquets with other men. Lin Zhiyi, you’re really something."

"How much? I’ll pay you in cash," Lin Zhiyi replied.

Gong Chen smirked, his eyes shining coldly, "Pay in cash? No need for that trouble, I’ll collect principal and interest together."

Lin Zhiyi’s heart tightened, and she instinctively raised her hand to block his approach but was still pulled tightly into his embrace.

"This is the principal!" Gong Chen said fiercely.

"What..."

Lin Zhiyi didn’t finish her sentence before he kissed her forcefully.

Gong Chen yanked open the belt of her coat, his hand slipping through her clothes, gripping her waist where Sang Li had supported her, and kneaded it ruthlessly.

As if trying to break her in half.

Lin Zhiyi’s cheeks were tightly furrowed, and it really hurt.

Just when she was getting short of breath, Gong Chen backed away slightly from her lips.

"Stay away from him."

Lin Zhiyi looked up at the man’s deep features, her lips somewhat numb.

He wasn’t actually concerned about her relationship with Sang Li.

It was just that he was a dangerous and dominating man by nature.

His woman, even if discarded, wouldn’t be anyone else’s to touch.

That was all.

Because the woman he truly cared about had the right to stand by his side, openly beside him and his family.

She had just begun to let go of everything when he would always suddenly appear to haunt her and then vanish just as quickly.

Lin Zhiyi let out a light laugh, "Third Young Master, it’s not every day I meet a man willing to stand by my side, right?"

"Lin Zhiyi!"

Gong Chen’s entire body radiated a chilling aura, seemingly ready to devour her.

She didn’t yield or retreat but said coldly, "By what right do you command me? As my uncle? A one-night stand? Or as a man whose relationship with me isn’t clear-cut?"

"Lin Zhiyi, I’m being serious with you. He is not as simple as you think," Gong Chen warned.

Lin Zhiyi heard his attempt to change the subject, but she still couldn’t resist a self-mocking laugh.

"Are you simple? At least he wouldn’t make me feel embarrassed."

A cold look flitted through Gong Chen’s eyes as he pinched her chin, "Don’t overthink it."

Her resistance was just a drop in the ocean.

Her defiance always appeared so insignificant in his eyes.

Lin Zhiyi struggled hard, feeling that she needed an outlet or she would really suffocate from the repression.

She said angrily, "Why does what you say go? Do you enjoy controlling me that much? Then let’s go to the private room and tell them what you’ve done to me!"

"You think he’s given you a taste of freedom, and that’s what freedom is? You want to be with him? I’m telling you, it’s not happening!"

"I’m telling you, I don’t care a bit about what you say!"

Lin Zhiyi was like a wild horse that broke free and didn’t want to be tied down by Gong Chen anymore.

Hearing this, Gong Chen’s pupils suddenly constricted, "You still owe me interest."

He grabbed her chin and kissed her madly.
