Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406: Chapter 406: I Won’t Be The Third Party

Lin Zhiyi woke up and instinctively reached out to feel for Xingxing.

But after fumbling for a while and failing to touch the soft little body, she was instantly jolted awake.

After taking in her surroundings, she immediately got up and ran outside.

"Xingxing, Xingxing..."

Walking into the living room, she saw Xingxing, neatly dressed, sitting beside Gong Chen and eating breakfast.

Gong Chen wiped the egg yolk from Xingxing’s mouth casually and said, "Awake? Come have breakfast."

Lin Zhiyi awoke as if from a dream and sat down slowly.

Before she could lift her hand, a glass of milk and a freshly peeled egg appeared before her.

She felt a bit unsure what to do.

Gong Chen wiped his hands and added two pieces of pancake to her plate. "What’s wrong? Do you need me to feed you?"

"No need."

Lin Zhiyi took a sip of the milk, picked up the egg, and bit into it forcefully.

"I asked Li Huan to schedule a full-body checkup for Xingxing. The results will be reviewed directly by experts in Jing City."

"You..." Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen with some surprise.

Gong Chen replied indifferently, "Did you think I’d take your daughter away from you?"

Lin Zhiyi meekly murmured in response.

"I know you’re comfortable here, and Xingxing wouldn’t adjust quickly to other places. Staying here works best for both of you, so you don’t need to make a run for it."

"That’s not what I meant." Lin Zhiyi refuted somewhat guiltily.

"Who was it that electrocuted me last night, grabbed a suitcase, and tried to flee? Lost your memory again? Ouch!"

Under the table, Gong Chen was kicked hard.

He squinted at her. "Lin Zhiyi, you’re the one who hit first."

"Third Young Master, sorry—it was a mistake."

Lin Zhiyi hurriedly withdrew her foot, knowing full well he couldn’t retaliate.

Screee—

Gong Chen leaned his cheek on his hand, his expression calm.

Without hesitation, he stretched out his long legs, hooked the leg of Lin Zhiyi’s chair, and pulled her toward the table, trapping her between the table and the chair, unable to move.

Lin Zhiyi glared at him. Just as she was about to resist, he clamped her legs tightly.

"Is this fun?"

"Let me go," Lin Zhiyi demanded angrily.

"Then tell me—who’s Du Qian?"

"None of your business... Ugh..."

Lin Zhiyi slapped her hand over her mouth to stop herself from making any strange noises.

Gong Chen had leaned his leg against hers.

What was going through his mind right now?

Their legs wrestled under the table, while next to them, a pair of tiny short legs swung back and forth in a baby highchair.

The scene was strange—yet oddly harmonious.

A moment later, Lin Zhiyi had no energy left to fight back.

Clenching her teeth, she asked, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Is he courting you?" Gong Chen asked bluntly.

"No, and even if he were, what does it have to do with you?" Lin Zhiyi shot back instinctively.

After speaking, she pursed her lips tightly, not expecting Gong Chen to reply at all.

The man across from her tapped his thumb lightly on his lips, his voice tinged with a teasing tone: "Even if there’s a line, I should be first."

The glass in Lin Zhiyi’s hand trembled, spilling milk onto the table.

She quickly grabbed a napkin to clean it up, feeling both flustered and angry.

"Third Young Master, I won’t be the other woman. Please don’t talk like that again."

When she heard the news about Sang Ran’s impending death, her feelings were complicated.

Sang Ran had harmed her, but in the end, she had spared her.

No matter the circumstances, Lin Zhiyi didn’t want to interfere in their marriage.

"You’re not the other woman. You never were," Gong Chen emphasized.

"Have you forgotten you have a wife?"

"I don’t have a wife. I didn’t register my marriage with Sang Ran."
