Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Chopping Him Up Would Be Letting Him Off Easy

Lin Zhiyi hung up the phone, feeling that Gong Chen’s voice was a bit unusual, as if he was in a good mood.

The surroundings sounded quite lively as well.

Lin Zhiyi thought it was late, so she didn’t ask for anything, just told him to be careful on his way back.

Then she continued with her work.

Just now Xue Man suddenly introduced her to a client, hoping she could design a piece of jewelry that matches an engagement dress in a short period.

Lin Zhiyi was looking at the design sketch of the engagement dress.

The photo sent was only of the front, so she had to go online to find the complete front and back views herself.

As she was deeply focused, a pair of hands wrapped around her shoulders from behind.

Before she could turn around, a bowl of sweet fermented rice ball soup appeared in front of her.

Seeing the logo on the packaging, she said in surprise, "How did you go so far?"

"Had some things to take care of, eat it while it’s hot."

Gong Chen took away the laptop from her lap and put the food in her hand.

"Thank you."

Lin Zhiyi picked up the spoon and took a bite.

Sure enough, the sweet fermented rice ball soup from Jing City was the most authentic; although Gang City had it too, the taste there was generally heavier.

Lin Zhiyi had also tried to make it herself, but the taste never quite matched.

During her pregnancy, she particularly craved it.

She specifically transferred through two buses to eat at what was rumored to be the best place for sweet fermented rice ball soup in Gang City.

But after just one bite, she inexplicably felt wronged and sat in the shop crying alone.

Seeing her stir the spoon without eating, Gong Chen sat down beside her.

"Don’t like it?"

"No, it’s just that it reminds me of the past. Actually, the sweet fermented rice ball soup made by the Gong Family’s chef was also very delicious. I never knew where they got the ingredients because I could never buy them myself afterwards."

Lin Zhiyi sighed, looking down as she continued eating the sweet fermented rice ball soup.

Gong Chen poured a cup of the floral tea that Lin Zhiyi had just brewed, saying indifferently, "I was the one who had the recipe adjusted, exclusively for the Gong Family."

Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen in surprise, not snapping out of it for a long time.

Gong Chen took a sip of the tea: "The Gong Family never had the habit of having sweet fermented rice ball soup at banquets, it was your mother who had it added after coming, and you ate the most. But she was embarrassed to have the kitchen add it every time."

"But later there clearly was some at every banquet..."

Lin Zhiyi fell silent halfway through her sentence.

She understood.

That was prepared for her.

No wonder hardly anyone else ate it each time.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

"Then, before when Sang Ran said you bought a lot of sweet fermented rice ball soup for her..."

"I bought it for you, but you ran off." Gong Chen replied truthfully.

Lin Zhiyi cradled the bowl, her palm warm.

Their eyes met, the man moving slightly closer, staring intently at her.

She pursed her lips: "Do you want some? I can get a bowl to split it with you."

"No need to bother."

The man directly leaned in to kiss her.

The light touch deepened under the floral tea fragrance and the sweet taste of the rice balls.

With the bowl still in her hands, Lin Zhiyi couldn’t resist, allowing him to part her lips and imbue her with his presence.

After a long while, Gong Chen let her go, breathless. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Eat up."

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, her ears tinged red: "Okay."

Sitting beside her, Gong Chen drank half a pot of floral tea before calming down.

Lin Zhiyi pretended to be calm as she ate.

Once she settled down, she detected a faint smell of smoke on Gong Chen.

But he had quit smoking.

She wondered silently for a few seconds if it was because he was too troubled by what happened with her.

Without directly asking, she said, "Where did you go?"

Gong Chen paused as he raised his cup: "Looked up Fang Jian."

"Fang Jian?"

Lin Zhiyi found the unfamiliar name surprising, not reacting for a moment.

She repeated it several times before it dawned on her.
