Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235: Chapter 235 When Did It Start?

Just as the shadow approached, the motion sensor light above Lin Zhiyi’s head suddenly went out.

"Ah!"

She screamed out loud, not expecting that the shadow would be startled by her as well, almost losing balance and tumbling down.

Right at that moment, the motion sensor light came back on.

After seeing each other’s faces, both of them were startled and simultaneously covered their mouths which they had subconsciously agape.

"Zhiyi!"

"Sister Zhou! You scared me to death!" Lin Zhiyi patted her chest.

Sister Zhou leaned against the wall, "I almost died of fright too, I thought it was the echo of my footsteps."

Lin Zhiyi smiled and led her upstairs, all the while listening to her complain that the elevator had the worst timing to break down—could it not have malfunctioned earlier or later but just had to at that moment.

Caught up in their conversation, neither of them noticed the door at the bottom of the stairs swaying slightly.

Inside the door.

The man pretending to be a resident was well trained, striking flesh with each punch, and even though his opponent was Gong Chen, he showed no mercy.

Seeing that he couldn’t overpower Gong Chen, he sinisterly pulled out a dagger from behind and attempted to ambush him.

Gong Chen’s palm was slashed, but he showed no sign of pain. He turned and twisted the man’s neck, and in one second the man’s pupils dilated, passing out.

Gong Chen looked down at the man on the ground from above, blood dripping from his fingertips.

"Third Young Master."

Chen Jin rushed over with a team, promptly handing over a handkerchief.

Gong Chen took the handkerchief and wiped the blood, stating coldly, "He’s a mercenary that only recognizes money, not people. Clean this up properly."

"Yes."

Chen Jin immediately waved to the bodyguards behind him.

After the man was taken away, he looked at Gong Chen worriedly.

"Third Young Master, this is already the fifth time in the last half month, and the second time this week alone. If this continues, he will definitely become suspicious of you."

Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed in Gong Chen’s eyes.

After a moment of contemplation, he threw away the blood-stained handkerchief and said coldly, "The New Year is coming, it’s about time to stir up some excitement for the Gong Family."

Chen Jin nodded in understanding, "Yes, I got it."

Upon returning, Sang Ran immediately came out at the sound of the door opening.

Her smiling face turned into shock upon seeing the blood on Gong Chen’s hand.

"Third Young Master, what happened to your hand? Weren’t you just going to the company to get some things? How did you get hurt?"

Sang Ran took his hand, her eyes filled with distress.

Gong Chen instead patted the back of her hand, as if to comfort her, "I accidentally cut myself, it’s nothing serious."

"Let me take care of it for you." Sang Ran turned to get the medicine box.

"No need, it’s too late, you go to sleep. I still have some documents to take care of."

Gong Chen turned and walked towards the study.

Sang Ran bit her lower lip, looking at his back. Even though he was really gentler with her compared to others, her heart still felt empty.

She mustered her courage, "Third Young Master, I’ve decided to move into the master bedroom, we... we’re about to get engaged and married, aren’t we?"

Her voice grew softer and her cheeks flushed with color.

Gong Chen stopped in his tracks and looked at her indifferently, "Hmm."

Sang Ran contained her smile, "Then I’ll wait for you."

With that, she ran back to the master bedroom.

Sang Ran looked at the impeccably clean walk-in closet, hung up her clothes after tidying a little.

"Why bother telling me to sleep in the guest bedroom if it isn’t tidy, isn’t this clean enough?"

"Could he be... embarrassed?"

Sang Ran looked at their clothes, hanging side by side, reached for one of his nightshirts and pressed it against her face. It had a faint scent of lavender. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

Taking a deep breath, she couldn’t help but fantasize about her life with Gong Chen after marriage.

A moment later, she thought of something and took Gong Chen’s nightshirt to the bathroom.

After Lin Zhiyi and Sister Zhou had climbed the stairs, the elevator happened to be working again.

The two stood at the elevator entrance, cursing for quite a while.

They finally went their separate ways to sleep after having a glass of red wine together.
