Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 694

Chapter 694: Chapter 694: Showing a Human Touch

The driver didn’t say much, just handed the box to Lin Zhiyi.

"Miss Lin, I’ll wait for you outside."

After saying this, he closed the door.

Lin Zhiyi was stunned for a few seconds, then turned and pulled Xingxing to sit on the sofa.

Opening the box, there were two sets of clothes inside, one big and one small.

Xingxing picked up the Chinese New Year outfit and bounced around a couple of times.

"So pretty! I mentioned to dad that I wanted one, and he actually bought it for me."

Lin Zhiyi also opened the bigger box, which contained a whole set of women’s clothes.

To be in tune with the occasion, they even chose a red coat for her.

But why prepare clothes for them?

Remembering the driver was still waiting outside, Lin Zhiyi hurriedly took Xingxing to change clothes.

After putting on the new clothes, Xingxing looked festive and adorable.

Lin Zhiyi looked in the mirror; both the style and color suited her very well.

"Mom, are you ready?" Xingxing urged excitedly.

"Coming."

Lin Zhiyi wrapped a scarf around her neck and led Xingxing out the door.

The driver had already pressed the elevator button.

"Miss Lin, please."

"Why so secretive?"

"Third Young Master said you’ll know when you arrive."

The driver made a welcoming gesture.

Lin Zhiyi and Xingxing exchanged a glance and went downstairs together.

Arriving at the garage, they found that Gong Chen, who had supposedly left, was still standing by the car.

"Third Young Master? Didn’t you leave?"

Gong Chen picked up Xingxing and took Lin Zhiyi’s hand.

"New Year is meant to be spent with family."

Hearing ’family,’ Lin Zhiyi looked up at him blankly.

He just held her hand and walked forward, calmly saying, "That means you, Lin Zhiyi."

Lin Zhiyi smiled and gripped his hand tightly.

No matter what storms come in this life, let’s face them together.

...

At the Gong Mansion.

When Lin Zhiyi got out of the car with the child, many relatives of the Gong Family saw them.

They were both surprised and unsurprised.

Everyone looked at Lin Zhiyi and then at the child.

Some elders couldn’t help but ask.

"Lao San, this is..."

"This is my daughter, just get the red envelopes ready."

There was a glint of warning in Gong Chen’s eyes; he didn’t want anyone to say anything foolish in front of Xingxing.

The other party noticed and hummed while stroking his beard.

Xingxing, seeing the nod, smiled and clasped her hands together, "Happy New Year, Grandpa, and good health."

The other party pursed his lips.

"What grandpa, call me Sixth Great-Grandfather."

"You’re not that old, right?" Xingxing frowned.

Sixth Great-Grandfather’s beard twitched as he pulled out a big red envelope from his pocket, "Alright, alright, go on in."

He couldn’t control the youngsters.

Gong Chen carried Xingxing openly and held Lin Zhiyi as they entered the mansion.

Along the way, people first froze, then widened their eyes.

Xingxing didn’t mind at all, resting her hands on Gong Chen’s chest.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Happy New Year."

"Auntie, you’re so pretty."

"Sister, our dresses look so similar."

"Brother, you’re so handsome, even more than a celebrity."

She didn’t understand the seniority; she called people however she wanted.

The only one she recognized was Ren Xiya.

"Aunt Xiya, I missed you so much."

"Such a sweet mouth, don’t worry, your red envelope was prepared long ago."

Ren Xiya smiled as she slipped a large red envelope into Xingxing’s hands.

Turning to look at Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen.

"Be careful at the restaurant later."

"Mm."

...

Entering the dining room, the room instantly quieted.

Liu He was drinking water; seeing the three enter, she almost dropped her teacup.

She was dumbfounded and exchanged glances with Lin Zhiyi.

"You two went all out?"

"Mom, if there’s an argument later, take Xingxing out first."

"Here we go again."

"..."

Someone was so surprised that they dropped their chopsticks on the plate, making a clattering sound.

"Sorry, Third Young Master."

"Why are you staring at me? Aren’t you all hungry?"

Gong Chen scanned around.

Everyone quickly picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

The atmosphere finally relaxed.

Lin Zhiyi felt relieved, but she still ate like before, only picking from the dishes in front of her.

By chance, there was only a plate of wishful vegetable, commonly known as bean sprouts, in front of her.

She wanted to eat meat.

If she were at the small table, she could use Liu He’s hand to have some meat.

Now...

Drinking beverages, eating bean sprouts.

Suddenly, the turntable spun.

Lin Zhiyi’s eyes lit up; she finally didn’t have to eat bean sprouts.

But then, the maid brought the dishes around again.

Once again, it was the plate of bean sprouts!

By the fifth bite of bean sprouts, Lin Zhiyi felt they were going to sprout in her stomach mixed with the beverage.

At this moment, the man beside her ignored dining etiquette and stood up directly.

A pot of chicken soup, two legs, he gave one to Xingxing and one to Lin Zhiyi.

"Eat."

Lin Zhiyi: "..."

Xingxing: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Someone laughed, "Lao San, there are only two legs, your family took both."

Lin Zhiyi’s face turned red, embarrassed to eat.

Gong Chen liked the words the whole family and looked at Lin Zhiyi, murmuring, "This is called first come, first served."

"Lao San is actually joking now; the sun must be rising from the west."

Ren Xiya chimed in, "Third Brother calls this being considerate. Being a dad is different; there’s a sense of care now."

Someone nudged their husband beside them.

"Others know to take things for their family, you just think about eating yourself."

"Alright, madam, what do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you. Lao San has set the precedent; today is New Year’s Eve, no need to follow those rules."

The man playfully stood up.

Others burst out laughing; it felt like New Year now.

Except for the dark-faced Old Mr. Gong and Gong Yao.
