Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288: Chapter 288 I Don’t Want to Wait Any Longer

"Mr. Sang?" Lin Zhiyi looked up at the man who had entered.

Sang Li was still carrying a thermos container, his gaze flicked to the food box on the table and he smiled, "It seems someone is on the same page as me."

To Lin Zhiyi’s surprise, Gong Shiyan immediately picked up the food he had brought, "Mr. Sang, I’m just here to check on Zhiyi, this is food I prepared for her mother, and you’ve arrived just in time."

Lin Zhiyi was taken aback and widened her eyes to signal to Gong Shiyan not to misunderstand.

Gong Shiyan smiled and said, "I’ll be leaving then, you two talk."

Before Lin Zhiyi could speak, Gong Shiyan had already walked away with his things.

She looked awkwardly toward Sang Li, "Sorry, are you... are you okay?"

Lin Zhiyi noticed that Sang Li was also wearing a hospital gown beneath his coat.

The sea water was so cold, most people really couldn’t stand it.

Sang Li walked to the bedside, placed down the food box, and while unwrapping it, comforted her, "It’s okay, just a bit of a chill, how about you?"

To diffuse the awkwardness, Lin Zhiyi joked, lifting her limp arm.

"He Yao almost twisted my arm off, but other than that, I’m fine."

"Let me see."

Sang Li sat on the edge of the bed, his slender hands gently took hold of Lin Zhiyi’s wrist, pulling her towards him.

The sudden closeness made Lin Zhiyi somewhat at a loss.

She moved, trying to withdraw her wrist.

But Sang Li tightened his grip slightly, looking down at her intently, "Are you very afraid of me?"

"It’s not that," Lin Zhiyi said truthfully.

He slowly rolled up her sleeve and frowned at the red marks on her arm, "Do you know what I was thinking when I pulled you out of the sea?"

Lin Zhiyi shook her head.

"I don’t want to keep waiting."

The warmth of Sang Li’s palm felt comforting, and seeing that she didn’t pull away, he carefully lifted and kissed the injured area.

Lin Zhiyi was a bit overwhelmed, her mind blank.

"I..."

Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to speak, the network TV on the wall automatically updated with the latest news.

’Gong Group signs a hundred-billion mega-deal, Third Young Master’s wedding is imminent, double happiness is upon us.’

Though it was a business collaboration, the media that loved sensationalism showed a photo of Gong Chen and Sang Ran together.

Seeing the happy couple, Lin Zhiyi remembered what Gong Shiyan had said.

She should start a new life, let go of herself, let go of others.

The words of refusal on her lips became hesitation, "I’m not sure, you should know that I..."

Sang Li pinched her hand and interrupted, "It’s all in the past, how will we know without trying?"

"Your father..."

After experiencing the persecution from Old Mr. Gong, she was really scared of dealing with these formidable elders.

Mentioning his father, Sang Li’s smile was casual.

"I’ve already mentioned you to my dad, he doesn’t interfere with my love life."

"Did you explain my situation clearly?" Lin Zhiyi emphasized.

"Do you want me to compile our chat records into a document for Miss Lin to review?" Sang Li joked.

Lin Zhiyi scratched her head, unsure how to respond.

But Sang Li didn’t pressure her, "Let’s eat first, I’ve asked Zhou Zhao to buy some milk, it should arrive soon."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

Zhou Zhao entered with the drinks, and just as Lin Zhiyi was about to thank him, she saw his colorful bruised face.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Assistant Zhou, have you... been beaten up by a mob?"

"What mob? Miss Lin, you’re going too far! I was just beaten by Chen Jin!" Zhou Zhao covered his face.

"That’s because you’re no match for him," Sang Li teased as he took the drink.

Zhou Zhao grimaced, "I told him not to hit the face. He’s just like his boss, heartless! Cold!"

"Zhou Zhao," Sang Li cut in, looking towards Lin Zhiyi.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t pay attention to the person Zhou Zhao mentioned, but simply pursed her lips and smiled, "Assistant Zhou, I remember Assistant Chen being quite steady; he shouldn’t have struck too hard. Did you say something?"

Zhou Zhao coughed twice, sounding a bit awkward, "I thought he was all gentle and polite, so I just said he looked like a young man. Was that really necessary?"
