Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Kept by a Mysterious Man?

Lin Zhiyi returned to the yard, feeling dazed as she leaned against the sofa and dozed off for a while.

Around lunchtime, Liu He called her to go have lunch.

After hanging up the phone,

Lin Zhiyi got up and straightened her clothes.

Then, looking into the mirror, she applied the red lipstick she had never used before, adding allure to her somewhat pale face.

She walked out of the yard and hadn’t gone far when she saw Gong Shiyan hurriedly walking toward the rockery.

She was about to call out to him but then noticed there was someone following him.

Wen Qing.

From their previous conversation, Lin Zhiyi had felt that these two seemed to know each other.

She tiptoed closer to the rockery, just in time to see Wen Qing reaching out to grab Gong Shiyan’s arm.

She said mockingly, "So, was it for such a woman that you broke up with me back then?"

Gong Shiyan frowned as he looked at her, his face still maintaining the proper demeanor.

"Wen Qing, you misunderstand. I broke up with you first, and it was only later that I met Xiao He."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi covered her mouth in shock.

Gong Shiyan and Wen Qing had been together!

Lin Zhiyi looked at the two of them and suddenly had an illusion.

The figure of Gong Shiyan actually resembled Wen Qing’s mysterious husband from her previous life.

The Gong Family had excellent genes.

Except for the one-in-a-million Gong Chen,

there were almost no unattractive people in the Gong Family.

Even as Gong Shiyan reached middle age, he still had a face that belied his actual age, distinguished and scholarly.

No wonder Wen Qing still remembered.

But if Lin Zhiyi remembered correctly, in her previous life when Wen Qing married the mysterious husband, Gong Shiyan and Liu He had already perished accidentally.

The thought of this made Lin Zhiyi’s heart tighten.

Because their accident was also related to her.

That’s why in this life, she was so anxious about both of them.

While she was thinking, a cold snort from Wen Qing came from ahead.

"Men always like to make excuses for their affairs."

"But seeing you so undervalued in the Gong Family because of her, I feel a great sense of satisfaction."

"If you hadn’t broken up with me, after Gong Shize’s death, with your capabilities, wouldn’t the Gong Family still be under your control? Why bother playing the fool?"

Gong Shiyan immediately had a stern expression, warning, "Wen Qing, considering you’re a guest, I won’t take your nonsense seriously."

With that, he shook off Wen Qing’s hand and turned to leave.

"Am I wrong? We were discussing marriage back then, and you suddenly broke up with me to be with a woman who came with a child; you clearly did this to embarrass me! Do you have any idea how people laughed at me behind my back?"

Gong Shiyan stopped, saying seriously, "Wen Qing, the breakup was with your agreement. Xiao He doesn’t know about these things. After all these years, I hope you won’t bring it up in front of her."

"Gong Shiyan!"

Wen Qing raised her voice involuntarily, but Gong Shiyan did not stay.

She looked at the man’s retreating back, her face a complex mixture of emotions and unwillingness.

Feeling uneasy, Lin Zhiyi took a detour to catch up with Gong Shiyan.

"Uncle."

"Zhiyi, going to have lunch? Let’s go together," Gong Shiyan replied with a warm smile.

Lin Zhiyi stopped him and got straight to the point, "Uncle, I heard everything."

Gong Shiyan’s smile disappeared, and he quickly explained, "There really is nothing between Wen Qing and me. We dated when we were young, but later we broke up because it wasn’t suitable. It’s not that complicated, and your mom is definitely not a mistress."

"I know. It’s just that I have something to ask of you, uncle."

Lin Zhiyi looked at him with trust.

Gong Shiyan heaved a sigh of relief, "What do you want to ask?"

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips and confided the secret Liu He had kept in her heart to him.

"Uncle, it’s not that my mom couldn’t get pregnant after giving birth to me, it’s because..."

"What did you say? You’re telling me I... originally had a child?"

Gong Shiyan widened his eyes, his eyes turning bloodshot, his lips trembling.

"Uncle, mom kept it from you because she didn’t want you to feel sad. I’m telling you this so that you can protect her better in the future."

Lin Zhiyi supported him, tightly grasping his arm.
