Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697: Chapter 697: The Illusion of Fatherly Kindness and Filial Piety

After making a fuss for a while, Gong Chen washed up and got dressed to pick up Xingxing.

It turned out that he returned not long after going out.

But Lin Zhiyi didn’t know this.

After taking a bath, she casually put on a new nightgown sent from Liu He’s yard and lay down.

Just now during the commotion, the room was quite warm.

At this moment, she even felt a bit hot.

Turning over, she pressed the blanket under her legs, half-dazed.

Gong Chen entered the room to see Lin Zhiyi kicking the blanket.

The nightgown wasn’t revealing, it was just a simple silk style.

But it was a bit large, the neckline drooped from her shoulders, fitting just right, half hiding and half revealing.

The hem was also a bit curled.

Her fair and straight legs were half-bent, with some ambiguous marks on them, even more alluring.

Gong Chen’s breath became irregular, he stepped forward to adjust her neckline.

After undressing and lying down, he tightly locked her in his embrace.

Lin Zhiyi woke up from the heat, squinting, "Where’s Xingxing? I’ll accompany her to sleep in the guest room."

"Your mom said she fell asleep watching a show in her yard, so let’s not move her around."

"Oh."

Lin Zhiyi thought of the night being cool, and that indeed kids easily catch a chill while asleep.

She propped herself up, "Then I’ll go sleep in the guest room."

Just as she moved, she was pulled back into the man’s chest.

His thin lips pressed by her ear, "Running away after sleeping with me again?"

Lin Zhiyi suddenly became fully awake, her ears turning hot.

"Who exactly is sleeping with whom? Obviously, you’re taking advantage."

Saying that, Lin Zhiyi wanted to get out of bed.

Unexpectedly, the man grabbed her waist and flipped over.

Lin Zhiyi had to sit on him, in this position... her body tingled, she didn’t dare sit down with force.

"Now it’s considered even." Gong Chen said in a deep voice.

"You... "

Lin Zhiyi raised her hand to point at him, her fingertips slightly red.

Gong Chen held her hand, pulling her back into his embrace.

"Stop fooling around, go to sleep."

"Is it really okay like this?"

Lin Zhiyi knew everything that needed to be done had been done, asking this question was meaningless.

But she was also afraid Old Mr. Gong would cause trouble.

"Everyone’s not stupid, they know why I brought you and Xingxing back. I heard your mom say Xingxing watched a show and got dozens of red envelopes."

"..."

According to the Gong Family’s habit of giving red envelopes,

Xingxing was now like a walking ATM!

Lin Zhiyi suddenly got interested, turning to stare at him.

"Are you trying to tell me they’ve accepted Xingxing?"

"They wouldn’t dare not to."

Gong Chen touched her cheek and pulled her into his arms.

"Sleep."

"Alright."

Lin Zhiyi soon fell asleep.

But Gong Chen opened his eyes, the phone on the bedside table vibrated twice.

He quietly got up to check the message.

"Third Young Master, Old Mr. Gong wants you to come over."

Putting down the phone, Gong Chen tucked Lin Zhiyi in, turned, and went out.

...

Old Mr. Gong’s courtyard had the best location.

During past New Year festivals, people streamed in endlessly.

This year, after the Bai Family incident, if Gong Chen hadn’t figured out Bai Family’s intentions early on,

Who knows what could have happened.

For a moment, no one knew how to face Old Mr. Gong.

When Gong Chen entered, Gong Yao was still there, maintaining his good son persona, sitting beside.

Gong Chen didn’t look at him, directly taking a seat.

Old Mr. Gong just frowned, staying silent.

"Gong Yao, you were used by him too, the things Bai Ruoshu threatened you with, do you think he couldn’t really obtain them?"

"And Second Master Bai’s identity, after confronting him so many times, you really couldn’t recognize him?"

"If you hadn’t gotten engaged to Bai Ruoshu on the yacht, how would those he disapproved of be threatened by the Bai Family?"

"Eliminate those people, half of the enemies in the Beijing Circle would be gone, he could then eliminate the Bai Family and swallow everything."

Gong Chen tore apart the facade of fatherly love. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Making Gong Yao’s last chip appear laughable.

Gong Yao immediately stood up to refute, "No! This isn’t true!"

"Then why did they have you, his own son, deal with the twins from my uncle’s family? Because he had a stake in the Bai Family, sharing honor and disgrace." Gong Chen said.

"Shut up! Gong Yao, don’t listen to his nonsense! What twins? We know nothing about it!" Old Mr. Gong raised his voice, exclaiming, "I went to great lengths and spent a lot of money to bring you back calm and composed!"

Gong Yao, as if just waking from a dream, almost exposed the twin matter.

He looked at Gong Chen, his face darkened.

Gong Chen sneered, saying nothing more.

Saying too much makes it seems fake.

Half-told truths left Gong Yao uncomfortable, as well as Old Mr. Gong.

Old Mr. Gong didn’t dare let Gong Chen control the conversation further, straightforwardly saying: "Since you mentioned your uncle, why is he back?"

"Don’t you already know?"

"How could I know?"

Old Mr. Gong’s teacup covered his face, but his sharp eyes were observing Gong Chen.

Gong Chen calmly said, "To recuperate."

"Recuperate, or bide his time?" Old Mr. Gong calmly sipped his tea.

Gong Chen understood this was what he wanted to know.

"I’ll ask for you another day. Speaking of which, uncle does miss you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave. Since it’s New Year, I think everyone’s happiness should be the most important."

With that, Gong Chen stood up and left.

Gong Yao discontentedly said, "Dad, what kind of attitude is that? Why does he treat you like this?"

Bam!

Old Mr. Gong slammed down his cup.

"What attitude? He already knows what I want to ask, and knows I’ve finished asking, why would he stay here? To watch you play with him?"
