Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Can’t My Performance Convince You Yet?

Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen in bewilderment.

Just as she was about to ask, Gong Chen’s phone rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at the screen—it was Sang Ran.

A familiar yet distant name struck Lin Zhiyi like a heavy blow.

She took two steps back. "Go take care of it. Xingxing should be going to bed."

She thought Gong Chen would turn and leave like before.

Instead, he hung up the call, put his phone back in his pocket, and leaned close to Lin Zhiyi, whispering, "Did my earlier actions still not convince you?"

"The child’s here, don’t say nonsense." Lin Zhiyi pushed him away, turning her back. "I’m going to bed now."

Seeing that it was indeed late and that the child was staring at them, Gong Chen didn’t pursue the subject further.

"Alright, sleep well. We’ll talk about that man tomorrow."

With that, his expression darkened, and he walked out of the room.

Man?

Lin Zhiyi thought about it briefly before turning to look at Xingxing.

"Xingxing, what did you say again?"

Caught, Xingxing sat up and looked innocent. "I didn’t say anything! Uncle Du really was my dad once!"

Lin Zhiyi froze for a moment before realizing.

"That was the kindergarten’s promotional video."

The principal had approached many parents, but enthusiasm was low—some were busy, and others felt awkward.

After searching around, they finally came up with the idea of asking Lin Zhiyi and Du Qian, who had decent public images, to help.

Usually, the principal took good care of Xingxing, so Lin Zhiyi agreed to lend a hand.

It was nothing more than sharing it around social circles.

Yawning lazily, Xingxing raised her hand. "But still, he acted as my dad!"

Lin Zhiyi sighed in exasperation while laughing. "You did that on purpose."

"I did not. Mommy, hold me and let’s sleep."

Xingxing burrowed into Lin Zhiyi’s embrace.

Lin Zhiyi patted her back. "I’ll take a shower first."

After her shower, the two of them played around for a bit before Xingxing, exhausted, turned over and fell asleep.

Leaning against her sleeping daughter, Lin Zhiyi found peace and drifted off as well.

...

Jing City, hospital.

"The number you’ve dialed is currently unavailable..."

Sang Ran repeatedly kept dialing the same number, but all she got was the cold mechanical voice on the other end.

She clutched her head in agony, her mind filled with the image of Gong Chen reunited with his family.

At that moment, the private doctor brought in specially by the Sang Family knocked and entered the room.

"Miss Sang, I heard some commotion in your room. Are you not feeling well?"

"What did you call me?" Sang Ran’s thin face turned ghastly as her sharp eyes pierced him.

"Apologies, I just arrived and momentarily forgot—Third Madam," the doctor quickly corrected himself and apologized.

Although annoyed, Sang Ran didn’t want to alienate her own doctor.

"It’s fine. How’s my condition?"

The doctor pursed his lips awkwardly. "Currently stable, but Mr. Sang insists that you should go abroad to receive specialized treatment in labs over there."

"My brother spent a fortune hiring your team just to hear that?" Sang Ran retorted unhappily.

"Third Madam, we will do our utmost best, but..."

"But what?" Sang Ran raised her head, glaring at him.

"It’s best if you stop taking other supplements. You’ve had multiple surgeries over the past few years, and your body can’t tolerate them," the doctor advised honestly.

Sang Ran scoffed coldly. "Then tell me, how else can I conceive?"

The doctor was part of the team Sang Li had specially recruited.
