Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 310

Chapter 310: Chapter 310 Zhiyi, I’m Sorry

In a daze, a tissue appeared before Lin Zhiyi.

Just as she was about to refuse, a drop of moisture fell onto the back of her hand. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

"Thank you," she said in a subdued voice.

"He’s fine. Let’s go outside first," Li Huan reassured.

Lin Zhiyi responded with a grunt, turned around, hastily wiped her cheeks, and briskly left the bedroom.

Chen Jin also came out with Li Huan.

Chen Jin’s complexion looked off, but his professionalism remained intact.

He walked up to Lin Zhiyi and, expressing his regret, said, "Miss Lin, I apologize. I should not have acted so impulsively."

Lin Zhiyi shook her head and retorted, "Have I always been surrounded by people like this?"

"Yes," Chen Jin explained. "It’s easy to enter the game, but hard to leave. There are no threats in this world from the dead."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi’s face turned ashen.

She thought that as long as she stayed away from Gong Chen, everything would return to peace.

It turned out her life was so valuable, a thought that was laughable in itself.

They belittled her on the one hand while spending a fortune to eliminate her on the other.

A heavy silence fell over the spacious living room.

Li Huan nudged Chen Jin to ease the mood, saying, "Okay, stop scaring her. After today’s events, there should be some peace for a while."

Chen Jin nodded and glanced at his watch, "I have to go out for a bit; I’ll leave this place in your hands."

Lin Zhiyi looked at Chen Jin curiously. With Gong Chen still in bed, it didn’t make sense for Chen Jin to leave.

"Assistant Chen, where are you going?"

"To deliver something."

Without further explanation, Chen Jin left the house directly.

Lin Zhiyi frowned, her body pressed down by Li Huan as she was seated.

"Rest for a bit; I’ll make some tea."

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi rubbed her muddled head.

Li Huan seemed to notice her agitation and, while searching for tea, attempted to divert her attention.

"Don’t think too much about it. Didn’t the Third Young Master say he wanted you to go and study further? When that happens, you’ll be far from the mountains and the Emperor; they won’t be able to control you."

Lin Zhiyi didn’t respond.

For some reason, whenever further studies were mentioned, she felt a heaviness in her heart, but she couldn’t pinpoint why.

At that moment, Li Huan let out a curious sound.

"Why is there a tea canister here? I’ve never seen him drink this kind before."

Lin Zhiyi got up and approached, and when she saw the tea canister in Li Huan’s hand, she thought of the collection of tea canisters in her own cabinet.

They were identical, even down to the seal.

Li Huan leaned in to examine the seal more closely, "This year the tea shop sent it over, it’s a not-for-sale version, doesn’t he like to take out the tea and store it in ceramic canisters?"

Lin Zhiyi was startled, casting a glance at the cabinet, which was adorned with various traditional ceramic canisters, yet this particular box had not been unsealed.

Certain things began to clarify in her mind.

She pursed her lips, intentionally ignoring, "Just plain water is fine, his tea looks quite precious."

"No problem, he won’t mind such things. I’ll just make some at random," said Li Huan.

Li Huan prepared the tea that Gong Chen often drank.

After brewing the tea, they sat down together.

Lin Zhiyi took a few sips of tea, feeling more settled.

"Feeling better?" Li Huan asked.

Lin Zhiyi clenched the tea cup and said faintly, "What do you want to say?"

Li Huan smiled, "What could I possibly say to you? We have no misunderstandings between us. I hope you could give someone else a chance."

"Misunderstanding? Is what I’ve been through merely a misunderstanding?" Lin Zhiyi said with a cold laugh.

"Lin Zhiyi, it’s not so easy to have it all. Besides, you need to be alive to get there," said Li Huan.

Lin Zhiyi understood Li Huan’s point.

But how could she convey the grievances of her past and present life?

The words reached her lips but ultimately transformed into a wry, faint smile.
