Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299: Chapter 299: My Girlfriend

Sang Ran was utterly confused and just about to ask her father when noise came from the door.

Everyone turned to look and saw Wen Qing and Ye Feifei entering one after the other.

One was Sang Ran’s nominal aunt and the other a close friend and bridesmaid, so naturally, neither would miss today’s dinner.

They came forward to greet everyone, and the Gong Family members nodded their heads in acknowledgment.

Ye Feifei looked around and was too embarrassed to ask in front of so many people, so she could only sneak a glance at Wen Qing.

Wen Qing nodded slightly and stepped forward, saying, "Xiao Ran, why don’t I see your brother?"

Sang Ran shrugged slightly and smiled, "I was just asking my dad too."

Mr. Sang looked at them suspiciously, "I didn’t expect Sang Li to keep even you in the dark; he’s waiting for his girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" Sang Ran was surprised.

Before she could ask who it was, Sang Li’s voice rang out at the door.

"Yes, girlfriend, mine."

Sang Li stood upright in his suit and extended his hand to the spot beside him.

A pair of delicate, fair hands were placed into his palm, and he tightly grasped them before leading the person in front of everyone.

Looking at the person entering, the expressions on everyone’s faces were complex and varied, especially those from the Gong Family.

They never dreamed that Lin Zhiyi, whom they had driven out, would appear at such an important family banquet.

Sang Li led Lin Zhiyi up to Mr. Sang.

"Dad, this is my girlfriend, Lin Zhiyi."

Lin Zhiyi politely greeted, "Hello, Mr. Sang, I’ve long admired your name."

Mr. Sang sized up Lin Zhiyi and was slightly surprised.

Over the years, relatives had introduced many women to Sang Li, including enchanting women like Lin Zhiyi, some even prettier.

But Sang Li wouldn’t spare them a second glance.

Instead, he was particularly fond of this woman, and as soon as their relationship was confirmed, he wanted to bring her home to meet him.

It was indeed easy to be deceived by Lin Zhiyi’s appearance at first sight, thinking she was like those women who rely on their looks to bewitch men. _{freēwēbnovel.com}

But on closer inspection, Lin Zhiyi’s eyes were especially clear, untainted by dust.

Mr. Sang smiled, "Miss Lin, it should be I who have long admired your name."

Lin Zhiyi paused slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"Sang Li has mentioned you several times, and indeed seeing is believing; Miss Lin is truly extraordinary."

Mr. Sang patted Sang Li on the shoulder in approval.

Hearing the approval, Lin Zhiyi felt a slight relief and turned to look at Sang Li.

Sang Li softly said, "I told you, my dad isn’t scary."

She smiled knowingly.

But then a cold gaze fell upon her from across the room, and her smile stiffened.

She struggled to maintain her smile, still somewhat forced, as her heart seemed to be rebelling against her, bringing waves of pain to her lips.

Fortunately, at that moment, Sang Ran came over.

"The two of you together, yet keeping even me in the dark, isn’t really nice."

Sang Li and Lin Zhiyi tightly clasped their fingers together; his voice rose slightly, "You’ve been busy preparing the wedding with Third Young Master recently; how could you have time to bother about your brother?"

"Not true at all. The wedding preparations are all being done by Third Young Master, he’s worried I’d become too tired."

Sang Ran grabbed the arm of the man beside her and lovingly leaned on him.

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi calmly raised her eyes, meeting the man’s deep, ink-like gaze.

Above their heads, the crystal chandelier shone brilliantly, casting a splendid halo of light that dazzled and made the person in front of her seem both near and far.

Just like them, their past seemingly became an illusion.

Lin Zhiyi no longer dwelled on it, nodded gently with a smile towards him, then shifted her gaze to the man beside her.

He was warm, humorous, and most importantly, he had led her into the sunlight.

Sensing her gaze, Sang Li turned his head slightly and smiled, lifting his hand to embrace her.
