Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394: Chapter 394 They Successfully Conceive

Hai Yue Bay.

Lin Zhiyi had just handed over the necklace she designed for Xiao Han’s wife to him.

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Is Xingxing about to become a little celebrity?"

Lin Zhiyi was baffled. "What are you talking about?"

"My wife came across a video with Xingxing’s illustration. People are saying she looks like someone very famous, called... I can’t remember the name."

After saying this, Xiao Han’s attention shifted to the necklace in the box.

"Wow, Miss Lin, you’re really talented! I never thought a necklace of this quality could be bought for just two thousand bucks. My wife is going to love it."

He carefully closed the box and tucked it into the inner pocket of his jacket.

Lin Zhiyi was still pondering his earlier words. "Xiao Han, did you say Xingxing’s illustration?"

"The manga drawn by that ’Screaming Miss’ who stays at your inn. My wife thinks it’s hilarious. Everyone loves the new baby character; it looks about seventy to eighty percent like Xingxing. Since we’re so familiar with her, we immediately recognized it."

"What?" Lin Zhiyi’s scalp tingled with alarm as she grabbed Xiao Han. "Show me, show me now."

Xiao Han pulled out his phone and opened a few screenshots his wife had sent him. "Look, isn’t it similar? Though the mouth doesn’t seem quite the same. Xingxing’s mouth looks like yours."

Lin Zhiyi stared at the screenshots of a man holding a baby, alongside two other men. Her heart sank completely.

Without paying attention to Xiao Han, she turned and rushed into the inn.

"Liao Yi!"

"Hey hey hey! What’s wrong?"

Liao Yi, wearing cartoon fleece pajamas, came stumbling down the stairs.

Lin Zhiyi pulled out her phone. "What... what kind of manga have you been drawing? Wasn’t it supposed to be workplace-themed?"

"It’s a humorous workplace story, so it’s kind of workplace-related," Liao Yi replied guiltily, "I might have stretched it a bit, but isn’t it just harmless fun?"

Lin Zhiyi gasped sharply. This was far from harmless — it was practically setting her life aflame.

Speechless for a moment, she furiously jabbed at the baby character in Zhou Zhao’s arms on her phone screen.

Liao Yi hastily explained, "Don’t worry; this baby is the younger sibling of the main female character. She was abandoned by a scumbag and gave birth to the baby. Since the older sister struggles, the younger brother helps out by occasionally taking care of the baby at work. Imagine three career men working together to babysit – hilarious, right? Besides, I specifically altered Xingxing’s facial features."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi felt the urge to pinch her own skin.

Liao Yi’s "alterations" only made the resemblance between Xingxing and Gong Chen more pronounced.

Couple that with the storyline involving the three men; if any of them happened upon this, they’d figure everything out instantly.

Lin Zhiyi asked, still hoping for a miracle, "This manga isn’t popular, right? Just like your previous ones?"

After all, Liao Yi’s track record was... nonexistent.

Liao Yi picked up an orange from the table, peeling it with flair and smiling smugly. "I’m going viral!"

Lin Zhiyi froze on the spot.

She took a deep breath to calm herself. Li Huan and his two pals didn’t seem the type to waste time on manga; chances were they wouldn’t even know about it.

Just then, Liao Yi suddenly remembered something and turned to Lin Zhiyi. "By the way, yesterday morning, I got a call from an unfamiliar man. He was asking about the baby in the manga—I instantly knew who he was."

Lin Zhiyi’s face went pale, her voice trembling. "Who?"

"It’s got to be the scumbag who abandoned you," Liao Yi replied.

Lin Zhiyi frowned and asked anxiously, "What else did he say?"

"Just some questions about the baby. I didn’t say anything and hung up right away. Sorry, I completely forgot about it after pulling an all-nighter."

Lin Zhiyi sternly cautioned, "Liao Yi, you cannot draw the baby anymore. As the mother, I’m asking you to retract the manga involving her."

"Well..." Liao Yi hesitated, "A lot of people love Xingxing, and I’ve already altered her face. It shouldn’t be linked to her in real life, right?"

The odds were too high!

Even Xiao Han’s wife, who had only seen Xingxing a handful of times, immediately recognized her.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t dare gamble. She insisted firmly, "Liao Yi, I’m counting on you."

Although the manga depicted fictional characters, the resemblance between the baby and Xingxing wasn’t absolute, and it didn’t classify as a breach of likeness rights.

Fortunately, Liao Yi was fond of Xingxing, so he wouldn’t make things difficult for Lin Zhiyi.
