Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713: Chapter 713: Want to Be With You

Lin Zhiyi didn’t immediately answer Gong Chen’s question.

Instead, she thought for a moment before speaking.

"What about you? If Sang Ran hadn’t returned to the country, what were you planning to do?"

Gong Chen pressed his forehead against hers, his eyes filled with expression.

"You’ve learned to bait others."

Lin Zhiyi pouted, "If you..."

"I want to be with you."

Gong Chen fixed his gaze on Lin Zhiyi, cutting off her words.

Lin Zhiyi’s face turned a few shades redder, it was enough to know his feelings.

"Oh."

"Nothing else to say?" Gong Chen countered.

"At the time, I didn’t think too deeply, I just felt that perhaps you cared for me just a little bit, and I should have a proper conversation with you, at least not in opposition."

Lin Zhiyi explained sincerely.

Gong Chen’s brow relaxed, "From now on, we can always have a good talk."

"Mm."

Lin Zhiyi nodded and yawned.

Gong Chen turned on his side and pulled the blanket over them both.

"Sleep now. Tomorrow, rest well at home."

"Mm."

Lin Zhiyi nodded slightly and fell asleep almost immediately.

...

When she woke up the next morning, Gong Chen had already gone to the company.

The maid knocked on the door.

"Miss Lin, Liao Yi is back."

At the sound of the name, Lin Zhiyi quickly got up to wash up.

When she walked out of the room, Liao Yi was playing around with Xingxing.

Seeing Lin Zhiyi, Liao Yi immediately stood up and walked over.

"Zhiyi, are you okay? I couldn’t sleep well after hearing the news."

"I’m fine now, do you have any good news from this trip back?"

Lin Zhiyi pulled her to sit, a look eager for gossip.

Liao Yi sighed, "My mom dragged me on six blind dates, I ate at the same restaurant three times, and it actually made me gain weight."

"Blind dates? Didn’t you tell your mom you have someone you like?" Lin Zhiyi was a bit surprised.

Liao Yi had left saying confidently she would go find Zhou Zhao.

Could it be...

Liao Yi pursed her lips, "I had a thorough talk with Zhou Zhao, he doesn’t like me, just sees me as a good friend. I can’t force him to like me, right? Being friends is nice too, and I got to have three big meals with him and Assistant Chen in Hai City."

Seeing her relaxed expression, Lin Zhiyi understood she wasn’t forcing it.

Lin Zhiyi came back to herself, "No wonder Chen Jin suddenly disappeared, turns out he went to Hai City."

"Let’s not talk about that. I came back this time to resign from you, a classmate of mine wants to open an art restaurant, and I want to try it with her. I can’t spend my whole life babysitting for you, unless you and Third Young Master have another one."

Liao Yi winked at Lin Zhiyi.

"You got addicted to babysitting."

"Mainly because Third Young Master pays well, but seeing you and Chu Yin striving for your careers, I want to step out of my comfort zone and venture out, as long as I don’t have to go back to blind dating," Liao Yi said.

"Alright, Boss Liao."

Liao Yi is so young, she indeed should venture out for herself.

"Stop laughing at me."

Just after saying that, Lin Zhiyi’s phone rang.

It was a designer from the studio.

With a smile on her face, Lin Zhiyi answered the call.

The next second, her smile froze.

"I’m coming over right now."

Liao Yi noticed something was wrong and stood up, "What happened?"

"A worker fell off the scaffolding."

After speaking, Lin Zhiyi turned around to instruct the maid to take good care of Xingxing.

Then she headed towards the door, putting on her clothes and changing shoes.

Liao Yi followed up, "I’ll go with you."

Lin Zhiyi didn’t refuse.

...

Hospital.

Lin Zhiyi had just arrived outside the emergency room and hadn’t even spoken to the designer.

Lin Zhiyi quickly straightened her clothes, catching sight of several people lowering their phone cameras, trying to capture her exposed moment.

She took a deep breath, trying not to lose her composure.

Turning to the designer, she asked, "What exactly happened? What overtime?"

The designer looked troubled, "The background wall had delayed the work schedule, so we contacted the workers to see who’s willing to work overtime. Her husband volunteered for overtime, and we paid the team accordingly for overtime, he was an experienced worker, how could we have known he would fall from three meters high today."

"Wasn’t there supposed to be a safety harness?"

"He didn’t wear it," the designer looked grim.

This raised another issue.

If workers ignore safety measures, they need reminding and warning.

But this happened when the designer went downstairs for coffee.

No supervisor, the owner not present, the worker slacked off.

The blame was shared.

The one hardest hit was who?

Lin Zhiyi!

She suppressed her twitching eyelid and said quietly, "Had this worker slacked off before?"

The designer was certain, "No."

That was strange.

An experienced worker in construction, their sense of safety shouldn’t be that weak.

Lin Zhiyi felt some doubt.

At that moment, the emergency room door opened.

A doctor quickly came out, his expression serious.

"I’m sorry, we did our best, but he hit his head and neck when he fell."

"..."

Dead?

Lin Zhiyi was stunned.

All she could hear was the woman’s amplified crying.

"Husband, how could you just die like this? What will the child and I do now?"

The woman glanced sideways, her eyes fixed on Lin Zhiyi.

"I want you to pay with your life!"

With that, she lunged at Lin Zhiyi.
