Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 435

Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Go Back

In the throes of turmoil, Gong Chen’s phone rang.

He squinted his eyes, took a deep breath, and reluctantly pulled out his phone with displeasure.

Seeing it was a call from Chen Jin, he pressed to answer despite himself.

"What is it?"

"Miss Sang refused again, and she keeps emphasizing the matter of the child," Chen Jin said.

"Got it."

"The hospital and the schedule are all set, we can return to Jing City tomorrow."

"Okay."

Gong Chen hung up the phone.

Lin Zhiyi immediately tugged at her clothes and frowned unconsciously.

Quick hands.

He had already taken off his own shirt.

She feigned calmness and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Gong Chen set down his phone, bare-chested, with both hands shoved into his trouser pockets. "Did Sang Ran approach you in private?"

Lin Zhiyi froze mid-motion as she adjusted her clothes, then nodded. "Yes."

"What did she say to you?"

"The car accident." Lin Zhiyi fiddled with the buttons of her clothes and hesitated. "You came back to see me because of it, right?"

"It’s got nothing to do with you, don’t listen to her nonsense," Gong Chen immediately retorted.

His reaction had already answered Lin Zhiyi’s question.

Lin Zhiyi frowned and said, "I already know."

"It wasn’t your fault; I wasn’t paying attention when driving..."

"Don’t say that." Lin Zhiyi shook her head. She didn’t want to get into the blame game here. "I’m not that fragile. Besides, in the end, she did save you."

Gong Chen stared at her. "I’m already negotiating terms with her. I’ll try to compensate her as best as I can."

"Okay." Lin Zhiyi nodded, then suddenly sneezed.

Her clothes were more than half-soaked, and her hair still wasn’t dry.

Gong Chen picked up the shirt he had thrown onto the carpet and draped it over her shoulders.

"Dry your hair. I’ll take a shower. We’ll discuss once we return to Jing City tomorrow."

"Alright, I’ll ask the shop staff to take you to a room."

Lin Zhiyi blurted out, but the man before her remained motionless.

"Where do you think I should go?"

"A room, of course." Lin Zhiyi pointed next door. "My room’s kept very clean; it won’t be too much trouble."

She deliberately ignored the meaningful glint in Gong Chen’s eyes and went on to extol her guesthouse.

Gong Chen raised an eyebrow, his voice softening. "Alright, then I’ll go."

With that, he turned and made to leave.

Lin Zhiyi panicked, reaching out to grab him. "Put—put some clothes on."

Gong Chen looked down at her from above. "Either I go out like this, or I sleep here."

Lin Zhiyi’s eyes widened. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

What difference did it make whether he went out like this or stayed here?

Gong Chen, saying no more, nodded. "Get some rest. I’m leaving."

He reached for the door handle.

Lin Zhiyi quickly stopped him. "Stay, stay, stay."

Gong Chen made a sound of assent, then leaned down to look her in the eye. "Wait for me in bed."

"..."

When Gong Chen emerged from his shower, Lin Zhiyi had already dried her hair and was lying on the bed.

As he walked over, his foot stumbled over something.

When he looked down, he saw a thick comforter spread across the carpet.

Lin Zhiyi turned to look at him and smiled. "Good night, Third Young Master."

"Lin Zhiyi, you’re something else."

Gong Chen lay down on the carpet.

Lin Zhiyi seized the moment to turn off the lights, wrapping herself snugly in the blanket as she giggled to herself.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and sleep, her ankle was suddenly gripped, and she was pulled from the bed into a burning embrace.

In the darkness, the man tugged the blanket over both of them.

His voice was low and hoarse. "Too hard."

Lin Zhiyi tensed all over and tried to feign calm. "Then maybe you should sleep in the bathroom?"
