Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: You Are Really Understanding

Lin Zhiyi crashed into Gong Chen’s shoulder.

Even though the lighting in the bar was dim, she could still feel the man’s gaze lowering onto her.

Something was churning in his quiet, ink-black pupils, but in the end, his Adam’s apple just moved slightly.

"What are you afraid of?"

The man’s voice was low and hoarse, restrained yet holding back force.

Lin Zhiyi lowered her gaze then looked up at him directly, "Juniors are supposed to act this way in front of their elders, aren’t they?"

Gong Chen’s piercing eyes were fixed on her, not missing a single tiny change on her face, his gaze was so intense it was overwhelming.

But Lin Zhiyi just looked at him puzzled, without any waves of emotion.

He let out a cold snort in his throat, like self-mockery mixed with other emotions.

But he still didn’t let go of her, his face expressionless as he said, "I helped you, shouldn’t you help me too? Hm?"

Lin Zhiyi glanced at the woman beside him and nodded in understanding.

"No problem, uncle."

She answered crisply, as if she would assist any man who made such a request.

Gong Chen’s gaze darkened, tightly gripping her wrist.

Lin Zhiyi hissed in pain and said softly, "Uncle, could you please let go a bit, so I can help you?"

"So eager?"

"I don’t like being in someone’s debt. Once it’s repaid, we’re even," Lin Zhiyi said calmly. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

"Even? Good."

The man carried an inexplicable rage, forcefully pulling Lin Zhiyi into his embrace, his palm pressing directly against her waist.

His eyes lowered, his features deep and somber, yet the corners of his eyes were clearly detached and cold.

"There’s no need for such trouble, this is fine. If you..."

"Fine then."

Lin Zhiyi didn’t struggle, and even looked provocatively at the other woman.

That infuriated the woman, her chest heaving with emotion, yet she didn’t dare to provoke Gong Chen.

Gong Chen’s face did not relax because of Lin Zhiyi’s compliance, but grew even more grim.

Because... only those who don’t care would act so unconcerned.

The clients who had wanted to pull Gong Chen to their side using beauty hastened to end their flattery upon noticing his expression, intimidated.

"Third Young Master, I’ll have someone send the contract over tomorrow. I’m really sorry about today; I didn’t know you had company."

"Hmm."

Gong Chen responded coldly.

Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Zhiyi immediately stood up.

"Now that it’s resolved, I’m leaving too."

"I’ll take you home."

Gong Chen stood up as well.

Lin Zhiyi was buttoning her coat, her voice indifferent, "There’s no need. I’ll just take a taxi downstairs."

"Let’s go."

Gong Chen exuded a chilly aura, leaving no room for others to object.

Lin Zhiyi followed him without further argument.

Entering the elevator, Li Huan asked, "Lin Zhiyi, what are you doing here?"

Lin Zhiyi’s eyes curved into a smile, "Mr. Sang and I came here for dinner; he said the view was nice and wanted to show me."

As soon as she finished speaking, the entire elevator turned icy cold.

Li Huan shrugged his shoulders, subconsciously glancing at the man in front, almost wishing he could slap himself.

Talking too much.

Gong Chen turned his head coldly and gave Lin Zhiyi a glance, his gaze frosty, "He just left you here by yourself?"

Lin Zhiyi quickly explained for Sang Li, "He’s very busy."

Gong Chen’s eyes were chillingly sharp as he sneered through clenched teeth, "You’re really understanding."

"Am I? I think so too," Lin Zhiyi said, quite pleased with herself.

"..."

Gong Chen frowned.

Her mouth, whether she had amnesia or not, always managed to infuriate him.
