Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Taking Others’ Words So Seriously?

Throughout the Spring Festival, Lin Zhiyi spent almost the entire time in her hospital bed.

Fortunately, she had Li Huan and Liu He to chat with her, and Sang Li also came by often.

Unexpectedly, on the day she was being discharged and as she was packing up with Liu He, Sang Li brought a woman over.

"Zhiyi, are you feeling all right?"

The woman waved hello, revealing the wedding ring on her finger.

Lin Zhiyi glanced at it and smiled faintly, "You are...?"

The woman apologized, "Look at my memory, I forgot you can’t remember now. I’m Sang Ran, Sang Li’s sister, we used to get along really well. I wanted to come to see you earlier, but my brother wouldn’t allow it."

Sang Li interjected, "She’s recovering from her injuries, not here for fun, and weren’t you busy enough with your wedding?"

Sang Ran pouted, "Don’t even mention the wedding. I had no idea there was so much to do when getting married. Thank goodness Third Young Master helped me in every aspect, otherwise I would have been overwhelmed. But... who knows if you have an ulterior motive?"

It sounded like a complaint, but her face couldn’t hide her happiness.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi smiled sincerely and spoke with an air of relief in her tone.

"I know you, I’ve often heard my mom praising you, and I heard you’re about to get married. Congratulations."

Sang Ran gently covered her lips, "You’re making me blush."

Liu He laughed, "No need to be shy, you’re great as you are."

The atmosphere lightened immediately.

"Actually, I’m getting discharged today too, you didn’t have to come all this way."

Lin Zhiyi lowered her head to continue packing and didn’t pursue the previous topic any further.

After thinking for a moment, Sang Ran continued, "Actually, it’s quite a coincidence. Third Young Master is being discharged today too. He had a cold and fever that just wouldn’t go away, but he’s finally recovered these last two days. I came to pick him up and thought I’d visit you as well."

A silent moment fell upon the room.

Lin Zhiyi had just finished zipping up her luggage when she looked up to find everyone stealing glances at her.

Puzzled, she furrowed her brows, "What’s up?"

Sang Ran cautiously inquired, "Third Young Master... don’t you remember him?"

"Of course I remember, Gong Family’s Third Young Master, your fiancé, who doesn’t know him? I have amnesia; I’m not stupid," Lin Zhiyi laughed.

Seeing her laugh it off, everyone else chuckled along.

Sang Ran seemed to want to say something more but was interrupted by Sang Li.

"It’s about time, let’s head out together."

Liu He quickly changed the subject, "Yeah, let’s go."

Lin Zhiyi made a sound of agreement and reached for her bag, but Sang Li was quicker to the draw and grabbed it for her.

"Let’s go."

"Thank you," Lin Zhiyi expressed her gratitude.

Sang Li looked at her, leaned in a little closer, and spoke in a deep voice, "If you really want to say thanks, maybe we can make plans for that meal we talked about?"

Lin Zhiyi shyly turned her head away, probably guessing what Sang Li was thinking.

After all, someone of his status certainly didn’t lack for a meal.

She also didn’t want to owe anybody anything and after a moment’s thought, she suggested, "Do you have time today? How about I treat you to dinner today?"

"I have time," Sang Li responded with a smile.

His assistant, Zhou Zhao, was taken aback and forced a laugh.

What free time?

There was so much to do at the company. The original plan was to stay in Jing City for only three days, and it’s already been a week.

The bane of beauty.

Lin Zhiyi stepped out of the hospital room, discussing what to eat with Sang Li.

Suddenly, a dark and brooding gaze fell upon her.

The man in a long black coat walked side-by-side with Li Huan, his tall figure exuding an aura of austere danger with each measured step.

Lin Zhiyi casually looked up, meeting a pair of icy eyes.

She didn’t look away, only watching curiously, but she noticed a flicker in his eyes, tinged with restraint.

When she tried to get a closer look, his gaze had returned to a calm stillness.

Sang Ran approached cheerfully, hooking her arm into his, "Third Young Master, are you done talking with Doctor Li?"

"Mhm," Gong Chen replied with a bland tone.

Then, aside from Lin Zhiyi, everyone greeted each other in turn.

Finally, Liu He gave Lin Zhiyi a nudge with her elbow and whispered a reminder, "The least you could do is say hello."

Lin Zhiyi replied awkwardly, "I don’t know him. How should I greet him?"

Her voice was quite low, but since everyone was standing close by, they heard her clearly.
