Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Don’t Tell Her, She Doesn’t Need to Know

Sang Ran clutched Gong Chen’s clothing, as if grabbing onto the last beam of life’s light.

Until he gradually leaned down towards her.

She held back tears, harboring a sliver of hope, knowing he wouldn’t leave her uncared for.

Yet in the next moment, her heart sank into an icy spring.

Gong Chen grasped her hand, slowly pulling it away, his voice laced with indifference: "I will accompany you through the final journey. That’s all. It’s what I owe you."

Sang Ran watched helplessly as her hand was pried away, tears flowing even more vigorously.

She couldn’t do it!

She really couldn’t do it!

Knowing she didn’t have long to live made her more determined to grasp what she wanted most.

Right now, the only thing she cared about was Gong Chen.

Selfish or obsessive, whatever it might be.

She just wanted Gong Chen by her side.

Sang Ran unwillingly grabbed Gong Chen again, revealing the real reason why he was willing to marry her.

"You do owe me, but why did you have that car accident? Why did you hide it from the Gong Family?"

"Because you didn’t dare tell the Gong Family you got into the accident trying to rush back to see Lin Zhiyi, and got hit by a drunk driver as you swerved too late!"

Gong Chen looked sharply at Sang Ran, an icy coldness emanating from his dark eyes.

Sang Ran said pale-heartedly: "Do you want to know how I know all this?"

"When I saved you, you were in a daze, constantly calling her name."

"Actually, I didn’t catch on until we returned to the country and I saw Zhiyi, hearing you call out her name, then I understood."

"I thought Song Wanqiu was my substitute, the love you gave Song Wanqiu should have been mine."

"But in reality, whether it was Song Wanqiu or me, you’ve never loved either of us."

"Lin Zhiyi doesn’t know the reason behind your accident, right?"

"I really want to see her expression when she finds out it all started because of her."

Gong Chen’s deep captivating eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze icy and biting like cold steel.

His voice was cold and sharp: "Are you threatening me?"

Sang Ran’s face turned ghostly pale upon hearing that, yet no tears fell, she trembled as she said: "So even the Third Young Master can be threatened, all because of little Lin Zhiyi? No wonder the old man detests her, the heir groomed by the Gong Family can indeed be threatened over a mere feeling of love."

"Consider it a threat, then. If you don’t want her to know, I hope Third Young Master stays."

At this moment, Sang Ran’s heart was full of conflict.

She hoped Gong Chen would stay.

Yet also hoped he wouldn’t care about the threat and would just turn and leave.

At least it would mean Lin Zhiyi wasn’t all that important to him.

But after a few seconds of tightening, Gong Chen’s gaze slowly sank into silence.

As if a cold moon was momentarily hidden away, leaving no light behind.

He looked down on himself with sarcasm, slowly said in a hoarse tone: "Don’t tell her. She doesn’t need to know."

Sang Ran felt her heart clench, bitterly smiling: "Then I hope Third Young Master doesn’t think about finding Lin Zhiyi and informing her about my illness. I don’t want to spend my remaining days having my husband and some outside woman hoping for my early demise."

"Alright."

Having said that, Gong Chen lifted Sang Ran and walked toward the room.

Sang Ran leaned against his chest, yet felt no warmth, leaving only her silent tears.

She wrapped her arms around Gong Chen, silently chanting in her heart: Gong Chen, just stay with me.

...

Night fell.

Lin Zhiyi stood at the highway entrance with a luggage bag, waiting for a long-distance bus.

Airplanes and high-speed trains were definitely not an option, as they required identification.

The only choice she could think of was a bus, but renting a private car was too expensive, making long-distance buses more convenient.

This method was something Liu He had taught her.

Compared to buying a ticket at the bus station with identification, here you could board the bus without identification and even get a discount.
