Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Don’t Be With Him, Okay?

After the incident with Li Huan and Zhou Zhao, the originally ambiguous atmosphere in the car vanished.

Even if Sang Li repeated the previous procedure, Lin Zhiyi’s mind was now full of carp.

Luckily, Sang Li was a considerate person and eased the awkwardness with a smile.

"Feeling better?"

"Mhm."

Lin Zhiyi was even somewhat amused and exasperated.

When they arrived downstairs, Sang Li received a work call and didn’t accompany Lin Zhiyi upstairs.

On the way, Zhou Zhao glanced at Sang Li through the rearview mirror.

"Young Master, that call from Li Huan was obviously deliberate. If anyone should be getting a call, it should be me. It’s likely that it’s Third Young Master causing trouble behind the scenes. Why didn’t you clarify things with Miss Lin?"

Sang Li’s expression was calm: "You think Zhiyi doesn’t know? Sometimes, treating something as a joke and letting it slide is also a way to spare oneself."

"Oh. Wait... am I the joke?" Zhou Zhao said discontentedly.

Sang Li raised his eyes and gave him a look, leaving him to ponder it himself.

Zhou Zhao obediently shut his mouth and focused on driving.

Lin Zhiyi returned home, and just as she was about to close the door, a hand stopped it.

The gleaming wedding ring already indicated the man’s identity and also served as a reminder to her. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

She forcefully closed the door, leaning her whole body against it.

The man outside hesitated before knocking lightly on the door.

"Open the door."

The man’s voice was tense, more ambiguous compared to his usual indifference.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t respond, just looked up at the ceiling.

The emotions she thought she had adjusted suddenly fluctuated dramatically.

She felt suffocated, as if she was continuously being spun around in a vortex.

Even though she was grasping onto a lifeline trying to climb up, it was still unbearable.

She held her breath, even able to hear the man’s deep breathing through the door.

Lin Zhiyi pulled her thoughts together, eager to escape from there, but as she stepped towards the room, her dropped hand accidentally hit the door handle.

Pain instantly spread throughout her limbs, and she let out a low cry.

The man outside immediately began knocking forcefully.

"Lin Zhiyi, what’s wrong with you?"

Lin Zhiyi was squatting on the ground, holding her hand, with no time to answer the person outside.

She didn’t want to answer either.

A few seconds later, there was no sound from outside.

Lin Zhiyi looked at her hand and simply buried her cheeks between her knees.

Suddenly, the door made a loud noise.

The door lock was smashed, the door wobbled twice, and then burst open.

Outside, Gong Chen was holding a fire extinguisher from the hallway in one hand, and a paper bag in the other, his expression cold and even somewhat urgent.

Before Lin Zhiyi could react, Gong Chen tossed aside the fire extinguisher and scooped her up in his arms.

His eyes were bloodshot as he fiercely asked, "Why didn’t you say anything?"

Lin Zhiyi was frightened by him and couldn’t speak for a long while.

Gong Chen took a deep breath, his gaze darkened, and he lowered his voice, "Where are you hurt?"

"Let me go! It hurts!"

Lin Zhiyi felt like her waist was about to break due to his grip.

What made her even angrier was that he always forcibly entered into other people’s lives at will!

Then he caused a mess and left nonchalantly afterward.

She resisted desperately, even raising her injured hand to hit him.

Gong Chen’s gaze swept over and he immediately caught her wrist.

Staring into her uncontrollable angry eyes, he paused, then softened his tone, "Is your hand okay?"

"None of your business!"

Lin Zhiyi tried to pull her hand back, but couldn’t get it free.

Gong Chen glanced at her somewhat bleeding bandage and frowned, "Your wound is bleeding, I’ll help you rewrap it."

"No need." Lin Zhiyi tried to pry his hand off.

Gong Chen looked at her helplessly, "I’ll leave after wrapping it. Otherwise, we’ll just keep standing here."
