Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 737

Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Will You Marry Me?

Sister Zhou looked at Lin Zhiyi and hooked her arm around the man.

"Don’t ask, Zhiyi’s...man had something come up and couldn’t make it."

Man?

Lin Zhiyi giggled secretly.

"Who is it?" the man asked curiously.

Sister Zhou thought for a moment and spoke for Lin Zhiyi, "The kind of person that, at first glance, just seems to be his."

The man listened, confused, and glanced around.

"That one?"

"What kind of joke are you making? Which one?" Sister Zhou waved her hand.

The man pointed at the hotel entrance.

"That one."

Lin Zhiyi and Sister Zhou turned around laughing, not taking it seriously at all.

But when they saw who it was, they froze.

Gong Chen!

No, not the usual Gong Chen.

He was dressed very casually, a pullover hoodie and sweatpants.

Wearing glasses too.

His hair casually draped down, less cold and more refined.

Even dressed down, his 1.9-meter height, along with that face, was enough to capture all attention by just standing there.

When Lin Zhiyi came to her senses, the man’s face was up close.

"You..."

"Satisfied?" Gong Chen asked softly.

"Why did you come?"

Lin Zhiyi pulled away to create some distance.

"I did send a gift, having a meal isn’t too much to ask?" Gong Chen raised an eyebrow.

Staring at him, Lin Zhiyi countered, "Third Young Master, must you have this meal?"

"What do you think? Zhiyi."

How could Gong Chen possibly be missing out on this meal?

He silently looked at Lin Zhiyi, as if afraid she’d get angry.

However, Lin Zhiyi wasn’t angry.

Instead, she extended her hand and took hold of his arm.

She looked up at him and smiled softly.

"Turns out Third Young Master can be nervous too."

"..."

Gong Chen was slightly startled.

Lin Zhiyi looked towards Sister Zhou and her husband, introducing, "My...man."

Gong Chen’s eyes lit up, his brow relaxed.

"I am...her man."

"Pfft."

Sister Zhou burst into laughter.

Her husband chuckled foolishly, feeling as if Gong Chen was joking.

Sister Zhou hurriedly leaned into his ear to whisper.

The next moment, her husband stopped laughing, quickly tugged at his suit.

Then he extended his hand, "Third..."

"Today’s your wedding, you’re the stars, no need for that, I’m just a guest." Gong Chen interrupted.

"Yes, yes, please have a seat, we’re not having a ceremony, once everyone’s here, we start eating."

The man made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you."

Gong Chen finished expressing his thanks and led Lin Zhiyi inside.

After seating according to the table arrangement, Lin Zhiyi tried to let go of Gong Chen’s hand.

But he only gripped it more tightly.

Lin Zhiyi whispered, "Third Young Master, what are you doing?"

Gong Chen seriously replied, "Is there a problem with holding my woman’s hand?"

"..."

She knew Gong Chen cared a lot about titles.

Should really let him taste what she went through before.

But Lin Zhiyi, after going through so much, with Xingxing back by her side, she didn’t want to resent the past anymore.

She chuckled lightly, changing the subject, "Where’s Xingxing?"

"Sent her to your mom’s place."

"Third Young Master, where did you get those clothes?"

"Li Huan’s." Gong Chen added, "Given by Ren Xiya."

Lin Zhiyi, who was drinking water, almost choked.

"This...I had no idea."

"Are those two hard to guess?" Gong Chen calmly spoke.

"Not hard? Miss Ren and Huanhuan, there’s no way to link them together."

Even her thinking of Huanhuan with Liao Yi felt more plausible.

The woman didn’t care, she turned her head, eyes fixed on Gong Chen. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Gong Chen didn’t look at her, spoke coldly, "Friend."

"A friend, huh? Zhouzhou knows such a handsome friend, hidden so well, she never introduced us."

The woman placed the teacup down, inching it towards Gong Chen bit by bit.

This little gesture was full of flirtation.

Gong Chen extended his hand past her, picked up the teapot to pour tea for himself.

Afterwards, he handed the cup to Lin Zhiyi.

"Have some tea, moisten your throat."

"Alright."

Lin Zhiyi drank tea calmly, ignoring the woman’s look.

When such a situation arises needing two women in confrontation, it’s generally the man’s fault.

Because if the man simply rejects, there’s no need for the woman to step in.

Realizing this, the woman found it pointless, returned to her seat.

And ended with a sour remark.

"Still just ordinary."

Lin Zhiyi held back a laugh with her cup, whispered, "Third Young Master, she said you’re just ordinary."

Gong Chen replied indifferently, "You don’t know whether I’m ordinary or not?"

"..."

Once again.

Under the table, Lin Zhiyi pinched him, only for him to grip her hand.

Just in time for the wedding ceremony to begin.

Though without formalities, as newlyweds, Sister Zhou and her husband still went up to say a few words.

Words were simple, but accompanied by music and pictures on the screen, it felt extraordinarily warm and happy.

More genuine than Bai Ruoshu’s wedding.

It left Lin Zhiyi’s eyes a little watery.

Amidst her emotions, the man’s presence filled the air beside her.

Breath heavy, warm, and assertive.

"When our time comes, we’ll do the same, host guests, then venture out for a time to ourselves."

"Can we?"

Lin Zhiyi gazed at the blissful newlyweds on stage, blurting uncontrollably.

Gong Chen intertwined his fingers with hers.

"If that’s what you like, then it’s possible."

"Zhiyi, will you marry me?"
